The Hall Mother finally showed up on the fourth day. Surprisingly, they were brought to a mountain facing the Mediterranean Sea, away from the Citadel of Athens. The ceremony of the Blessing of the God’s Seal would be held there.

The team initially thought it would be a grand ceremony, with countless people watching them. In the end, they were brought to a fairly remote place instead. Even though the mountain was well-decorated, like the garden of a mansion, and they could see the Mediterranean Sea by looking into the distance, it was still quite disappointing for those that wanted to make a name for themselves.

“After receiving the Blessing of the God’s Seal, you will have to contemplate it for a month. It’s better not to use magic too frequently during this period. I advise you to just meditate for a month, in order to fully absorb the Blessing of the God’s Seal,” Feng Li informed the team.

The Hall Mother’s age was impossible to tell. She was solemn and approachable, but she did not talk directly to the team. A Muse called Tisu relayed her words.

The members would have to take turns accepting the Blessing of the God’s Seal. Mo Fan was the first to receive it. After all, he was the main contributor to the team. It was said that the person that received the Blessing of the God’s Seal first would have the highest increase in their magic potency.

The Hall Mother stood under a tree on the altar set up for the Blessing. The sunlight shone upon the altar like pieces of golden cloth, sprinkling over onto the Hall Mother. The woman emitted a sacred glow as she softly murmured the spell. Her murmurs echoed around the mountain like a pleasant melody.

The Hall Mother waved at Mo Fan, signaling him to come forward.

Mo Fan walked up. The Muse beside him softly reminded him to kneel.

Mo Fan looked at the Hall Mother. The Hall Mother did not seem to be bothered by it. She only asked Mo Fan to lower his head…

The Hall Mother placed her palm softly on Mo Fan’s forehead. The murmuring seemed to have reached the important part, as she proceeded to quicken it. Mo Fan, his eyes closed, felt like countless musical instruments enhanced by a sacred aura were playing around him, clearing the random thoughts from his mind.

It felt the same when Mo Fan first Awakened his magic. He could feel his Spiritual World lighting up. The light shrouded his Stars, as if it was trying to melt them.

“Focus; place your attention on the Element that you want the Blessing to fall on,” the Muse reminded him. She did not sound friendly, as if she was not pleased with Mo Fan’s unwillingness to kneel before the Hall Mother.

The Blessing of the God’s Seal could only strengthen a single Element. Mo Fan had already thought about it. He desired more firepower, so he had chosen to increase the base damage of his Lightning Element!

The light soon circled the Galaxy of his Lightning Element. The whole Galaxy was shrouded by a mysterious light, and the individual Stars were wrapped by the light, too.

The light was initially glowing, as if it would dissipate at any second. However, they gradually merged with the Stars like an imprint, and the light stabilized.

Most spells of the Blessing Element could only enhance magic temporarily, but the Blessing of the God’s Seal targeted the Stars of a person’s Spiritual World. The spell enhanced the whole system of the Element. Even if the Galaxy eventually turned into a Universe, the new Stars would also have the imprint!

The Blessing of the God’s Seal was able to permanently increase the base potency of a Mage’s Element. It would stack with the amplification provided by magic Equipment or Elemental Seeds. It was the reason why the Blessing of the God’s Seal was so valuable!

The process was quite lengthy, since it involved placing a permanent imprint inside a Mage’s Spiritual World. It would not be completed in an instant. In addition to it, the cost of casting the spell was seemed to be quite weighty, too…

Some time later, the Blessing of the God’s Seal was done. The Hall Mother smiled, yet she did not say a single word to Mo Fan.

“The imprint has been placed on your Element. Even though the Hall Mother has helped you stabilize it, you still need to spend an entire month to secure it. The imprint is going to weaken, and you can only reduce the rate by meditating diligently. Therefore, it is wise for you to cultivate in seclusion for a month. I will stay here to give you advice,” the Muse Tisu told him.

Mo Fan was about to ask something when he sensed the light shrouding his Lightning Stars weakening rapidly.

Mo Fan did not dare to waste a second. He quickly went into his room to start meditating and secure the Blessing.

The Hall Mother rested for some time before giving Mu Ningxue the Blessing of the God’s Seal…

——

The Ceremony lasted for two days. The Hall Mother seemed worn out by fatigue after she gave everyone the Blessing of the God’s Seal. She rested on the mountain for a full day before going back to the Parthenon Temple.

The Muse Tisu stayed behind to keep an eye on the team. The Golden-Sun Knight Haziel was there, too. Pang Lai had left, but Feng Li stayed, just in case something happened to the students.

The students had gone to their rooms to meditate. Even the playful ones knew how important the Blessing of the God’s Seal was. They had no choice but to clench their teeth and meditate diligently. In a month, their strength would greatly surpass those of the same age!

Going into seclusion simply meant meditating. Since his training had started, it had been a long time since Mo Fan last sat down quietly and meditated.

Both his Summoning Element and the Space Element had reached the Advanced Level, yet Mo Fan had not learned to construct the complicated Star Constellation of the two Elements yet. Now that he had the spare time, he could make use of it to learn the two Advanced Spells.

The Blessing of the God’s Seal has granted you a 2.5 multiplier, but how much of it is left solely depends on you, Mo Fan remembered the advice from the Muse.

The blessing would grant a person a multiplier of two to three to the base potency of their magic, but instead of lasting permanently, it would reduce over time until it finally stopped at a certain value.

Mo Fan had obtained a multiplier of 2.5 from the Ceremony, but it was said that anyone that was able to keep half of it was very impressive.

As such, the value of the amplification was usually around 1.2 to 1.7. However, if they received the Blessing of the God’s Seal from the Goddess, the value would be slightly higher.

Many people were satisfied with a multiplier of 1.5, since the 0.5 increase to the base potency was enough to give them a great edge over the others, especially knowing that the Spirit-grade Seed or the Soul-grade Seed was the only other thing that could increase a person’s magic potency!

Mo Fan could feel the energy he received from the blessing flowing away. The multiplier had already fallen to 2.1 in just five days. How much more would he lose in thirty days, if he had already lost so much in five days?

Luckily, the rate of him losing the energy gradually decreased. However, Mo Fan still panicked when the multiplier reached 2.

It better not drop all the way to 1.2. If all he received was only a 20 percent increase to the base potency of his Lightning Element, the strenuous efforts he had put in to win the tournament would all be in vain! A 20 percent increase was basically nothing for a destructive Mage like Mo Fan. He needed at least a multiplier of 1.5, so the six times amplification of his Lightning Tyrant of his Lightning would be nine times stronger. That way, his Basic Spells would actually be as strong as someone else’s Intermediate Spell!

As Mo Fan was worrying about the loss of energy, Little Loach suddenly began to glow. It used the power that it had just acquired from the Pharaoh Spring to wrap around the Galaxy of the Lightning Element.

Mo Fan was intrigued. What is Little Loach trying to do?

Mo Fan soon realized what Little Loach was up to. The little creature was trying to keep the energy of the Blessing with its power, preventing it from flowing away!

Little Loach rarely took the initiative to lend him a hand. It seemed like the Amulet was extremely happy after it was given the Pharaoh Spring. As such, it was willing to do Mo Fan a great favor, leaving him in great joy!

The light that Little Loach emitted wrapped tightly around the energy from the Blessing. For the next ten days, he did not lose any of the energy he obtained from the Blessing!

The multiplier stayed at 2, and seemed to be stabilizing!

A multiplier of 2!

Mo Fan initially thought he would be extremely happy with 1.5, yet he suddenly realized he might actually end up with a multiplier of 2 instead!

“Little Loach, hang in there. If you manage to keep the multiplier at 2, your father will give you anything that you want to eat!” Mo Fan was overwhelmed with excitement.

He was meant to meditate for an entire month, yet every day was incredibly thrilling to Mo Fan!

Mo Fan was learning the Star Constellations at remarkable speed, too. With the help of the Bracelet from Zhao Manyan, the light that Little Loach was emitting, and the energy of the Blessing, Mo Fan could now complete the Star Constellations of the Space Element and the Summoning Element…

Even though he could not use them for the time being, once he was done with the meditation, his strength would significantly improve again. He could easily crush anyone as he pleased!

The multiplier stayed at 2. In the last five days, Mo Fan clearly felt the energy from the Blessing had completely stabilized. It had turned into a permanent imprint in his Spiritual World, and every Lightning Spell that he cast would be enhanced by it, doubling their power!

As a safety measure, Mo Fan did not lower his guard for the last five days. He continued to focus on meditation, as he was afraid that the energy would suddenly vanish if he lost focus. He would rather die than lose the multiplier!

Little Loach had withdrawn its light. Mo Fan was incredibly relieved. It was all thanks to the great gift that the Egyptian team had given him. Otherwise, Little Loach would not have been able to lend him a hand!

——

Mo Fan spent the last few days in excitement and joy.

Even though he was not done yet, he knew the energy had already stabilized. He had the urge to run to the edge of the cliff and shout at the top of his lungs facing the vast Mediterranean Sea!

-Two times!

-It really stopped at two!-

The base damage of his Lightning Element had been multiplied by two!

It meant the destructive power of his Lightning Spells was off the charts!
