"We need to go to the Abyss Edge to gather some rare materials. Are you ready?"
Abyss? Trish was slightly startled, then respectfully nodded, "Yes, Master."
She struggled to control her voice, trying not to let her inner turmoil show.
Corina’s gaze passed over Trish and landed on the shimmering Crystal Ball on the table.
She seemed to stare for a few seconds, the corners of her mouth twitching imperceptibly, as if she understood something, but she didn’t ask.
"You must prepare thoroughly, the environment at the Abyss Edge is more dangerous than you imagine."
Corina added, with a hint of concern in her tone for the first time, "Don’t let your thoughts cloud your judgment."
Trish was startled internally, unsure if the Master noticed her emotional fluctuations, but she obediently bowed her head:
"I will prepare with all my strength, Master."
After Corina left barefoot, the brown-haired girl turned her gaze back to the Crystal Ball, feeling a mix of emotions.
The Crystal Ball continued to shimmer, its silvery-white glow pure and bright like the stars.
"Ron, you really won this wager."
She murmured softly, her fingertips brushing the surface of the Crystal Ball again, "An extraordinary achievement, I might never catch up to you in this lifetime..."
Trish took a deep breath, straightening her back.
She had no time to wallow in complex emotions, the next goal was clear before her:
She must also become an Official Wizard, no matter the effort required.
Then, the girl closed her eyes and began her Meditation of the day.
A radiant green light slowly emerged from her, outlining a delicate Energy Field.
......
Ron slowly opened his eyes, returning from deep Meditation to the real world.
The Star Ring Convergence was nearing its end, the sky was about to return to calm, only a few dim stars still twinkling.
A sliver of morning light rose from the distant horizon, wrapping the Black Mist Jungle in a golden veil.

He could feel that both his body and spirit had undergone a qualitative transformation.
That feeling—as if someone who had only used their right eye to observe the world their entire life suddenly opened their left eye as well, making the world three-dimensional and clear.
Everything was so different, colors more vivid, sounds clearer, smells more intense, even the minuscule Magic Particles in the air were discernible.
"Succeeded..."
Ron murmured to himself, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Even though the panel had long confirmed it, he still found it hard to believe he had accomplished this nearly impossible feat—advancing to an Official Wizard through the Path of Truth.
He extended his hand, gazing at his slender fingers, as if they belonged to a stranger.
Every cell in his body was celebrating, each vein pulsed with life, every thread of Spiritual Power sang.
An unprecedented sense of fusion and completeness filled him, as if all the fragments had finally found their correct places, forming a perfect picture.
Especially the Meditation Technique trait from the "Devourer"—"Star Projection," which gave him an unparalleled sense of connection.
It was as if a bridge had been built between him and the Starry Sky, allowing him to directly draw power from the stars.
Ron looked up at the sky, feeling the "Star Projection" was in an active state due to the ongoing end of the "Star Ring Convergence."
Inside him seemed a microcosm, countless specks of starlight flowing in his blood, constantly replenishing him with pure Magic Power.
As his gaze fell on the position of the "Hermit Star," a unique Energy fluctuation emanated from that seemingly bright, yet unimaginably distant celestial body, piercing through the atmospheric barrier, directly pouring into his body.
This Energy was cold and pure, as clear as mountain snow, making his mind exceptionally sharp and clear.
The speed of his thoughts at least doubled, understanding complex concepts became exceptionally easy.
"So this is the energy trait of the Hermit Star..."
Ron thought to himself, filled with new awe for this ancient celestial body.
And even more mysterious was the influence of the "Abyss Star Cluster."
When his gaze turned to that purple-black nebula region, a distinctly different Energy entered his body.
This Energy was chilling and aggressive, like a sharp black blade, cutting through the flow paths of Magic Power, reshaping the Energy structure.
Ron could feel that his destructive Magic Skills had significantly enhanced, as if blessed by some ancient presence.
"The Abyss Star Cluster... enhances the effectiveness of destructive Magic, but also brings a certain mental pressure."
Ron analyzed, feeling a slight tingling at the edges of his thoughts, clearly indicating that this Energy was both an offering and a test.
But what amazed Ron the most was that these two vastly different and even somewhat opposing stellar energies.
In his body, they not only did not conflict, but rather formed a wondrous balance, jointly nurturing his freshly evolved form as an Official Wizard.
