Chapter 171: Yeah, What a Pity
"As long as you're happy." Lor shook his head, "But I have a small request, and I hope you can agree."
"Let's hear it." Jerald looked at Lor curiously.
"After the duel, could you give me a Memory Pearl?" Lor asked.
It was his first time dueling with someone from the Fifth Ring; he wanted to keep a memento.
"No problem." Jerald agreed readily, pointing to a chair next to him, "Come and sit here for a bit. It won't take much of your time."
"Alright." Lor complied and sat in the chair next to Jerald, watching him condense the Memory Pearl while using the Space Meditation Technique to slowly absorb the ambient elemental energy, recovering his energy levels as best as he could to face the first battle against the Fifth Ring.
"Click click click—"
Shortly after Lor sat down, a middle-aged man in a blue Great Wizard Robe walked up from the stairs.
"Greetings, Chairman, Legislator Lor." The middle-aged Great Wizard bowed swiftly upon seeing the two at the long table, frequently glancing at Lor.
He was seeing the newest rising star of the Wizard Alliance for the first time, so naturally, he had to scrutinize him.
Upon doing so, he immediately sensed something peculiar; he couldn't perceive Lor's Spiritual Power fluctuations.
As a titled Third Ring Great Wizard, the inability to sense Spiritual Power fluctuations could only mean the person was of the Fourth Ring.
As this thought crossed his mind, a look of shock appeared on his face.
It was normal for Lor to achieve the Fourth Ring, but to do so so quickly was staggering—it wasn't easy to condense an Elemental True Body.
"Titus, could you cook this meat from extraordinary beasts for me? I'm planning a banquet to entertain Legislator Lor."
Jerald pointed to the ingredients piled on the long table, then turned to Lor and asked, "By the way, what flavor do you prefer?"
"A bit spicy." Lor replied.
Given his current physique, ordinary seasonings couldn't stimulate him in any way.
"Alright." Jerald once again took out over a hundred dark red, chili-like extraordinary ingredients from his Space Ring and said to Titus, "Go ahead and prepare."
Lor's eye twitched as he watched Jerald take out the items.
He realized he might have spoken too soon; he didn't expect Jerald to use Earth Vein Poison Pepper as a spice.
The Earth Vein Poison Pepper wasn't just a little spicy; any ordinary Tier 3 life form eating this would ignite their bloodline and perish instantly.
But since the words were already out there, it didn't seem right to retract them. At the worst, he would just have to eat less at the banquet.
"Yes, Chairman." Titus responded quickly, gathering all the ingredients into his Space Ring without delay and hastily heading toward the stairway.
After Titus left, Jerald condensed over seventy more Memory Pearls, totaling a hundred, before saying to Lor, "Let's go, we'll carry out the duel experiment in the north over the Endless Sea."
"Alright." Lor glanced at his elemental energy, now recovered to ninety percent, nodded, and flew twenty miles from the Wizard Tower, manifesting the True Body of the Space Element, and performed a Space Jump towards the north, a hundred thousand miles away.
One hundred thousand miles north of the Jerald Wizard Tower was still within the Milton Continent, but just within Jerald's perception range; any further, and he wouldn't be able to locate him.
"A hundred thousand miles in an instant?!" Jerald realized a problem when he sensed Lor's Space Jump distance.
When Lor was in the Third Ring, he could jump seventeen thousand miles because he could sense that far.
Now, being able to jump a hundred thousand miles on a single leap, does it mean his sensing range is also a hundred thousand miles?
"That's absurd," Jerald's mouth twitched.
Even he could only sense a hundred thousand miles in radius. Lor had just broken through to the Fourth Ring!
Taking a deep breath, Jerald suppressed the rising wave within him, transforming into a drop of water and rapidly pursued in Lor's jumping direction.
Fine, a hundred thousand miles it is. Their sensing distances were the same, and although he lost the advantage, he wasn't at a disadvantage either, so it shouldn't significantly impact the battle.
Moments later, in the northern skies of the Milton Continent.
Once Lor sensed the drop of water that Jerald had turned into catching up, he executed another Space Jump, formally entering the Endless Sea.
The region of the Endless Sea near the Milton Continent had now been cleared by the Elemental Legion.
Whether they were White Birds, Demons, or extraordinary sea creatures beyond the First Tier, none remained.
The sea was blue, the waves were rhythmic, and the scenery was quite beautiful.
Lor took a moment to appreciate the view before a transparent drop of water finally arrived and paused fifty thousand miles away.
It then transformed into a thirty-mile-tall Water Elemental Giant, unfurled a domain of water elements spanning ten thousand miles, and distributed hundreds of Memory Pearls around itself before smilingly transmitting to Lor, "You take the first move, or you might not get another chance."
Lor: "..."
Alright, alright, you've already spread your domain, and you're still asking me to attack first.
He originally thought of giving him some face, throwing a few casual moves, but it seemed Jerald didn't want that!
Lor silently placed five space markers on the surface of Jerald's domain, then activated the Void Imperial Realm Defense Shield, taking a step into the Space No-Distance Layer by instinct.
Since his senses couldn't penetrate Jerald's domain, he could only mark its surface with space markers.
This wasn't a significant issue; even if he placed a space marker on Jerald himself, his attacks couldn't penetrate the domain's defenses and strike him directly.
