Kael spent some time perusing the online store, and it truly opened his eyes.
The range of products was astonishingly diverse, featuring all manner of items, some of which he''d never even heard of before.
He even stumbled upon dragon''s blood, specifically that of an adult red dragon.
But when he saw the long string of zeros following the price tag, Kael, well - aware of his financial limitations, promptly closed the link.
Subsequently, Kael remembered the task at hand.
He opened the task section.
As soon as he did, right at the top of the homepage was precisely what he was seeking.
《Urgent! Need Charged Magic Power Absorption Compression Devices!》
These bold, eye - catching words caught his attention, and Kael clicked on it.
There was a concise introduction.
This was a long - term task with no time limit imposed and no upper limit on submissions.
For every ten Awakening Orbs, one could exchange for a magic stone.
Additionally, for every hundred Awakening Orbs submitted, an extra reward of one credit was on offer.
Thinking it over, Kael realized that every ten Awakening Orbs could potentially earn him around one hundred thousand yuan.
This seemed like an excellent opportunity, he mused.
Without further ado, he clicked to accept the task.
Although he hadn''t yet enrolled, with the assistance of Professor Li and Guan Borong, he was able to take on tasks, just like a newly - admitted student.
He read the instructions.
As a freshman - to - be, he could apply for fifty Awakening Orbs without having to pay a deposit, using his student ID number.
Fifty? That seemed rather few to Kael, and his greedy side kicked in.
He clicked the plus sign, hoping to obtain more Awakening Orbs.
Suddenly, a pop - up appeared on the screen.
For any additional Awakening Orbs beyond the initial allocation, a deposit was required.
Kael clicked to check the deposit amount and immediately abandoned his plan.
Fifty Awakening Orbs would have to do.
The deposit details stated that a deposit of ten thousand yuan was needed for each Awakening Orb.
Goodness! That meant if he took fifty Awakening Orbs to the Spirit Realm, it would be equivalent to carrying five hundred thousand yuan on his back.
Moreover, since he was getting these Awakening Orbs without a deposit by using his student ID number, if any of them were lost, he''d have to foot the bill for the loss.
After filling in the necessary information, Kael settled in at home, patiently waiting for the mailed Awakening Orbs.
...
The Awakening Orbs hadn''t arrived yet, but Professor Li''s call came first.

Professor Li inquired, "Student Huo, I heard from Xiao Guan that you''re planning to go to the Spirit Realm for meditation and have also taken on the task of gathering magic power?"
"Yes, Professor Li. The Spirit Realm I can teleport to is relatively safe. "
"The meditation efficiency on Blue Star is abysmal, so I intend to go to the Spirit Realm to cultivate and decided to take this task as well," Kael replied truthfully.
"Hmm... The magic power density on Blue Star really isn''t conducive to cultivation. "
"If the teleportation point in the Spirit Realm is genuinely secure, then it''s a viable option."
Professor Li paused for a moment on the other end and then continued, "Alright, I''ll send you two practical zero - level spells. Learn them first; they''ll enhance your self - protection capabilities."
"Remember, don''t act impulsively in the Spirit Realm. Staying alive is of utmost importance!"
"Okay, thank you so much, Professor!" Kael exclaimed, his gratitude evident.
"You''re welcome. After all, these zero - level spells can be borrowed and learned from the library once you enroll. "
"I''m just giving them to you a bit early. Alright, I''ll send them shortly. Keep an eye out for them."
"Once you''ve mastered these two spells, feel free to ask for more, and I''ll send you new ones."
"Okay, Professor Li!"
Subsequently, Professor Li ended the call.
Moments later, Kael received several pages sent by him, which detailed two Spirit Realm spells.
Lesser Defense Armor and Lesser Surveillance Eye.
One was a defensive spell, and the other was a reconnaissance spell.
These were precisely the types of spells Kael urgently needed at the moment.
Clearly, Professor Li had given it some thought.
Professor Li is truly a kind - hearted person!
...
The delivery was impressively fast. On the third day, the fifty Awakening Orbs arrived at Kael''s home.
After making the necessary preparations, early one morning, he picked up the box containing the Awakening Orbs.
He decided not to tell his parents, sparing them any worry.
He directly activated the teleportation and arrived in the Spirit Realm.
When using the Spirit Realm beacon for teleportation, he''d return to the exact spot where he''d left last time.
And unlike the first time, the beacon had now fully charged.
Each time, he only needed to wait approximately an hour before he could return to Blue Star again.
With a blinding flash of light, Kael found himself back in the Spirit Realm.
He surveyed the abandoned house where he''d stayed previously.
Sensing the rich magic power in the air, he couldn''t help but shudder with pleasure.
The contrast between the Spirit Realm and Blue Star was like that of a person going from a low - altitude region to a high - altitude one, that uncomfortable sensation when breathing.
The Spirit Realm was like a low - altitude area, with magic power so abundant that breathing felt like a breeze.
Blue Star, on the other hand, was like a high - altitude region, with sparse magic power.
Absorbing magic power there required much greater effort.
After taking a short rest, Kael didn''t rush out to place the Awakening Orbs.
Instead, he decided to wait until the beacon for his return to Blue Star had fully recharged.
After all, once the beacon was charged, even if he encountered danger, he could escape and return to Blue Star within seconds.
This was like an extra safeguard for his life.
Of course, during this time, Kael didn''t sit idle.
After receiving the two spells from Professor Li the previous day, he''d already briefly studied them and roughly understood their effects.
Now, seated on the bed, he was determined to fully master these two Spirit Realm spells.
"Do you wish to use potential points to accelerate your learning?"
Potential points, here I go!
The potential points he''d obtained from that Silver - rank wraith had remained unused until now.
Anyway, they wouldn''t multiply if left sitting there.
The sooner he used them, the stronger he''d become.
...
After spending a few hours, Kael finally emerged from his intense learning state.
He brought up his attribute panel.
Name: Kael
...
Skills: "The Breath of Darkness Meditation Method", Zero - level Spells: Bone Tooth, Gray Mist, Touch of Fatigue, Lesser Defense Armor, Lesser Surveillance Eye
Potential Points: 5
He''d successfully mastered both spells.
I''m still as brilliant as ever! Kael couldn''t help but feel proud of his learning ability.
He once again felt the effects of these two spells and mentally gave Professor Li a thumbs - up.
Lesser Defense Armor
Spell Effect: Forms a defensive armor on the target, safeguarding the chest, abdomen, and head.
During the spell''s duration, it offers semi - comprehensive protection.
The duration can be extended by continuously channeling magic power.
After being attacked, the armor''s defensive strength can be maintained by inputting more magic power.
Casting Duration: 8 seconds.
Spell Consumption: 5 magic power points
Duration: 15 minutes
Sustained Effect: Requires 2 magic power points every ten minutes.
Armor Strength: 12 degrees (Each magic power point restores 3 degrees of armor)
The concept of armor defense degree was new to him.
It was calculated based on attack power.
Generally, for apprentice - rank spells, the attack power ranged from 5 to 10 degrees.
The attack power of the zero - level spell Bone Tooth, which Kael knew, was 7 degrees.
