While teammates whispered outside the house, inside, Gauss had already entered a state of deep meditation.
He sat in a simply arranged room.
The special medium ground from Demon Crystal was drawn into a magic formation on the floor, with one end connected to him, and the other end to a mid-level Magic Crystal Stone emitting a heavy earthy yellow light.
With the help of the magic formation, pure magical power flowed into Gauss’s body like a gentle stream.
It resonated and mingled with the already overflowing Magic Cup within his body.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Ripples spread outward from around his body.
Level 5 is indeed a special level.
Gauss felt that this time the Magic Cup was particularly active, greedily absorbing energy.
It then spewed out a more robust torrent of magical energy, washing over his body.
Gauss felt a mild warmth within his body, the circulation of magical power creating a harmonious resonance.
With each circulation and wash, his own magic power was rapidly increasing and undergoing some changes.
He felt as if he was amidst a vast ocean, continuously impacted by wave after wave.
Overall, this feeling did not bring pain, but rather a peculiar sense of fulfillment.
Complex and profound rune textures emerged from the surface of the Magic Cup, bulging against the cup walls, expanding outward, reinforcing and enlarging its capacity.
Time passed, unmeasured.
The mid-level Magic Crystal Stone before Gauss had faded considerably.
In contrast, his body was covered in a layer of white fluorescence, giving him an indescribable aura.
Through long periods of exchange, the Magic Cup, as the source of power for the Magic Envoy, had now expanded to twice its size.
The magic flowing from the cup had significantly increased both in volume and speed compared to before.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Invisible winds rapidly expanded around Gauss’s body.
Outside the wooden house, your teammates, having patiently waited for two days, all glanced towards the wooden house with surprise.
"Is it the critical moment?"
During these two days, they were perhaps even more nervous than Gauss himself.
Leveling up comes with risks, and accidents that lead to a Professional’s death are not impossible.
Moreover, Gauss had just recovered from serious injuries not long ago, and naturally, they were worried about whether his physical and mental state were optimal.
Therefore, before he formally entered the wooden house, Serdur, as the team doctor, had already given Gauss a thorough examination, but even then, risks could not be entirely ruled out.
A strong wind blew through the window of the wooden house.
The surrounding environment seemed to be stirred by Gauss, who was amidst a "storm".
"Rustle, rustle, rustle—"
The leaves on the branches madly swayed, creating a crisp sound.
The wind pressure around the wooden house grew stronger, gradually forming an invisible magic vortex centered on the wooden house.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Albena looked surprised.
Although she had witnessed Gauss’s power that severely mismatched his level not long ago, this phenomena of breakthrough was still incredible to her.
Especially in comparison to a Warrior’s level-up scene, the commotion caused by Gauss was already starting to influence the environment significantly.
He was still at level 5, and it’s hard to imagine what kind of spectacle he’d cause when advancing to higher levels; perhaps even causing weather changes.
This frenzy lasted for about ten minutes.
Suddenly, all phenomena immediately ceased.
The wind stopped, and the swaying leaves instantly quieted.
The previously tumultuous natural magic in the air retreated like a tide.
A profound silence enveloped the surroundings.
"Did it succeed... or?"
Inside the wooden house.
Gauss, whose internal energy had now stabilized, opened his eyes.
His eyes were exceptionally bright.
He didn’t rush to stand up.
Instead, he carefully felt the changes in his body, spirit, and magic...
After a while, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Magic Envoy Professional level upgraded to: 5!"
It succeeded!
Gauss exhaled deeply.
Although it lasted two days, and he never doubted himself from start to finish, when he truly succeeded in breaking through to a new level, he still felt a sense of relief and comfort.
It was well-deserved.
Strengthening step by step, effort and persistence do not lie.
And now, succeeding in advancing to level 5 was the best reward for his journey.
Three months of roughing it outdoors, continuous meditation training the Flying Technique and Fireball Technique Spell models, patiently teaching villagers, and hunting various Demons, strong and weak alike.
These experiences, visible and invisible to ordinary people, ultimately blossomed beautifully.
Of course, only he and his teammates knew the hardships involved.
Others might only consider him naturally gifted.
"Intelligence +1"
"Agility +1"
"Perception +1"
"Charm +1"
Perhaps some attributes were already at the breakthrough threshold, and this upgrade raised four attributes at once.
Strength: 12
Agility: 9→10
Constitution: 11
Intelligence: 14→15
Perception: 10 (9)→10
Charm: 10 (9)→10
Among them, the numerical values of Perception and Charm did not change, remaining at 10 points.
The perception and charm boosts from the equipped Ying Bracelet, besides its active skills, have completely lost effect.
