After a few moments, once he took a few deeps breaths to cool his warm veins, Vincent's narrowed eyes glistened in a calculative light. "I will need to perform the hand signs mentioned in the heat purifying method a total of forty-nine times to purify impurities from the magic power stored in my heart and convert it into mana. It's going to be exhausting," he muttered under his breath as he decided to purify the remaining 49 units of magic power from impurities before sleeping.

Although it was mentally and physically taxing to perform one hundred and thirty hand signs in a simple order, he was happy to have obtained and learned this magic technique.

The heat purifying method was by far the fastest magic power technique he has ever come across in his life. He couldn't believe how fast he was able to purify magic power by using this technique.

It was simply unbelievable!

Typically, it will take dozens of minutes to hours to purify 10 units of magic power from impurities and convert it into one unit of mana.

However, Vincent only needed a few minutes to do the same due to using the heat purifying method.

'Whoever created the lower sun Scripture heat purifying method is a genius,' he thought. 'This magic technique was undoubtedly one of the best in the lower heaven of wisdom, the military academy library now it belongs to me. Thankfully, I got my hands on it before others.'

This technique was great, but it still has a problem.

The veins in a person's body heat up a lot after a single round of purification.

A person needs to rest after a single round of purification as the veins heat up so much that it becomes painful.

Vincent had chosen to rest for a few minutes as he knew that using the method simultaneously would result in an internal injury.

Of course, he wasn't the least bit disappointed in the heat purifying method.

It was an impressive technique!

It wasn't just the magic power purifying Magic Technique that was impressive as the other enchantment type Magic Technique was equally strong.

The mana infusion magic technique wasn't shabby at all.

Vincent had inferred the prowess of this Magic Technique from his fight against the combat robot.

Although he had used magic power in place of mana to activate that magic technique, it has still improved the damage and sharpness of the normal sword by so much that he was able to use it to cut the metallic body of the combat robot in two as easily as a hot knife passing through butter.

"Obtaining these two powerful techniques was made possible because of the spell matrix created by one of my nine family's heads," Vincent said in his mind as he grasped the pendant hanging on his neck.

He took one last necessary deep breath, closed his eyes to concentrate on the movement of his hands, and started to perform hand signs to purify magic power as his veins had cool down enough to bear the complex energy purification process.

A lot of hours flew away in the blink of an eye when purifying magic power. The sun was no longer high up in the sky, which had turned black and white due to an uncountable number of small white dots and two big buns, representing the stars, and the two moons of Xavier, respectively, enchanting the night sky.

Not a single cloud was in the sky, allowing one to see a crystal river of stars and moons shining above lakes made out of emerald lights that illuminated the crisscross virtual tracks of the levitating trains, most of which were moving towards different floating train stations as even the arrival of midnight didn't stop the traders and merchants from moving their goods from one world to another.

John, Varth, and Nevis stepped out of the arcade where they have been betting on fights and also participating in fights, earning and losing contribution points, before taking the winding path which led to their living quarters.

A lot of hovering lights orbs were set in equal intervals, illuminating the winding path threaded upon by the three of them.

Meanwhile, once all the magic power had been converted to mana, Vincent opened his eyes and looked at the notification screen in front of him.

‹ You had gained 99 units of mana by purifying a total of 990 units of magic power from impurities ›

‹ Mana: 100/100 units ›

‹ You've reached the maximum mana capacity of both your hearts ›

Vincent's lips thinned into a smile as he said, "Most of the newly enlisted students all use magic power. However, I'll be using mana from now on. I already have the upper hand. After all, the efficiency and effectiveness of abilities and magic techniques increase when they are activated using mana. Similarly, when using mana to activate the Magic Bullet and throw a bullet, it will be ten times stronger than activating it using magic power."

The uses of mana were limitless. However, Vincent didn't know about a lot them. He was just beginning to walk up the stairs of the energy evolution path that goes hand in hand with the awaken evolution path.

"Eh? Guess I sat down for too long," Vincent's legs felt numb as he had been sitting cross-legged for a long time. He used blood manipulation and caused the blood to flow through the veins of his legs, hurriedly easing the numbness.

Sometime later, the doors to Vincent's living quarters opened, causing him to incline his head to the side to look at the intruder, only to see Varth and John entering the room with a smile.

"Good to see you are awake. I brought some snacks for you," John said, lifting the shopper in his hand.

"Thanks, bro." Vincent felt overjoyed when he saw his favorite snacks after opening the shopper.

His happiness lasted only for a while as his favorite snake tasted bland.

He put them aside and looked at them before speaking, "You guys seem happy. What happened?"

"Just won multiple solo battles and bet in the arena of valor and earned a lot of contribution points," Varth said.

"Me too! I earned 50 contribution points by betting on Varth and Nevis." John said with a smile.

As soon as he heard their words, Vincent's ear perked up, and he asked, "Can you tell me more about the arena of valor?"
