116: Chapter 116 People from the Alliance Headquarters Arrive
[ Spell Requirements: Four Star Arrays, Fifth-Order Mage Rank. ]
...
Spell Imprint successful.
A wave of ecstasy surged into Lin Fan's heart.
As for the Spell requirements, he didn't care at all... He still had over two hundred experience points left.
Lin Fan leveled up twice in a row.
[ Ding! Level Up! Lv19 → Lv20 → Lv21! ]
[ Peak Tier 4 Mage → Early Stage Fifth-Order Mage → Middle Stage Fifth-Order Mage! ]
Boom!
He leaped to become a Middle Stage Fifth-Order Mage.
The mana in Lin Fan's Sea of Consciousness surged and swelled like a raging tide.
His Sea of Consciousness expanded rapidly, and countless new stars were born at high speed, filling the expanded Sea of Consciousness.
The terrifying mana erupted from advancing to a Fifth-Order Mage instantly shattered the Demonic Beast corpse he was sitting on into dust.
The surrounding ground was flattened, forming a huge crater. It was as if a violent explosion had just occurred here.

Lin Fan summoned the System panel and took a look. Beneath the omniscient mask, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.
Although his experience was almost wiped out, he was extremely satisfied with the result. Not only did he successfully imprint the desired Spell, but he also achieved a Breakthrough to a Fifth-Order Mage!
Lin Fan closed his eyes. Feeling the surging power within his body, he felt as if he had become a god, capable of anything.
With his cultivation as a Fifth-Order Mage, he spread out his perception. It instantly covered a radius of several dozen miles.
Lin Fan retracted his perception. The next second, silver-white stars blossomed around him. He wanted to test the Spell he had just imprinted!
Brilliant stars emerged one by one at high speed. The space around him instantly transformed into a small galaxy, with dozens of stars orbiting and flowing.
After the stars appeared, they immediately connected to each other, first forming Star Patterns, then condensing into four huge Star Arrays. The sight was breathtakingly magnificent.
And all of this was still completed within one second! This speed was enough to make countless top-tier Mages go mad with jealousy.
The four Star Arrays took shape. Lin Fan spoke slowly, uttering the name of the Spell.
"Seamless Space Perception."
Whoosh!
As the words fell, a gentle breeze blew past, as if carrying his consciousness along with it. The surroundings instantly fell into dead silence, as if submerged at the bottom of the sea.
When Lin Fan opened his eyes again, it was as if he could see through hundreds of miles in a single glance!
It was not the top-down perspective from Void Walk, nor was it his normal vision. Instead, it felt as if he were present in every location simultaneously.
This feeling was fleeting, and his vision returned to normal. He was still standing in the same spot. But the eyes behind the mask were startlingly bright.
The Spell was still running. Lin Fan could clearly perceive everything within a hundred-mile radius. With a mere thought, his vision moved accordingly. Everything within range was fully visible to him!
The terrain, the Demonic Beasts, every detail was incredibly clear!
Not only that, he could hear all the sounds within a hundred miles. The roars of Demonic Beasts, the sound of the wind, the heartbeats of beasts, even the sound of blood flowing through their blood vessels were crystal clear!
He could also perceive every trace of mana within this area. Whether it was inside a Demonic Beast, drifting in the air, or dissipating from natural objects, nothing could escape his notice!
Lin Fan was extremely satisfied with this effect. Just as he had wished.
This Spell allowed him to be "personally present" a hundred miles away without actually being there, to see, hear, and perceive everything!
A Mage's perception could never reach this level. And this was precisely the ability he needed to solve the disappearance case!
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Fan spent a few minutes adapting to the Spell's effects. Although this reconnaissance ability was Heaven-Defying, he did not yet know how to filter sounds. All the noises flooded into his ears at once, like being at a noisy concert.
After spending nearly half an hour, Lin Fan finally mastered the auditory part. It was time to return. Today ended earlier than usual.
On his way, he sold all the accumulated Demonic Beast corpses. Tomorrow would be a crucial day... He decided to officially take action to find the missing children. There was no need to delay any longer. He already possessed the power he had been waiting for!
After becoming a Fifth-Order Mage, Lin Fan could finally use the spatial teleportation Spell... [Space Flash]. As the name suggests, this Spell allowed a Mage to instantly teleport themselves or a target to a distant location.
The Spell's range was sufficient to teleport several people or larger objects. It only required the Star Array to cover the target. Objects fixed to the ground or with an invisible base could not be teleported.
As for how far it could teleport, Lin Fan did not know yet, so he decided to test it. He summoned the spatial stars again and condensed four Star Arrays.
The four Star Arrays formed a huge square that landed on the ground, enveloping Lin Fan, as if he were standing in the center of four glowing arrays.
"Space Flash." Lin Fan softly uttered the name of the Spell.
The next moment, he and the Star Arrays turned into a silver ray and vanished into thin air. A second later, Lin Fan appeared more than fifty kilometers away, taking form from a silver light.
He had set the direction toward Baiyun City, and after Space Flash, he had indeed moved closer to the city. He spread out his perception to confirm the distance. Upon learning that he had only teleported over fifty kilometers, his expression was a bit awkward. This distance could not compare to Void Walk at all!
Lin Fan took a deep breath. Fifty-plus kilometers was already quite far; he shouldn't be discouraged. A few more flashes and he would be back in Baiyun City; it wasn't too bad.
After thinking it through, Lin Fan continued to rush toward Baiyun City.
[Skill: Void Walk, Activate!]
...
A few seconds later, Lin Fan arrived at Baiyun City.
As usual, he appeared directly on the first floor of the Alliance Building, startling the people present with his sudden appearance once again. Not long after he appeared, three people came downstairs to welcome him.
One was Fang Bin, and the other two, Lin Fan had never seen before. He probed slightly and couldn't help but raise his brows in surprise. These two were both Tier 4 Mages!
Likewise, the two people who came with Fang Bin were also observing Lin Fan, a trace of surprise flashing quickly in their eyes before returning to normal.
"Mr. Chen, welcome. You haven't been here for a few days; it's just right that you came today."
"This is our Branch Minister, who just returned today; this is a representative from the Alliance Headquarters in the Royal Capital." Fang Bin introduced with a smile.
Lin Fan raised his brows slightly beneath the mask. This was the Branch Minister, Jiang Tianhai, who had been away. And the other person was actually from the Alliance Headquarters.
"Mr. Chen, it is a pleasure to meet you. During the time I was away, I had already heard of your deeds, and I am very grateful for your help to our branch." Branch Minister Jiang Tianhai stepped forward and extended his hand with a smile.
He was wearing a short leather jacket, an inner black shirt, brown trousers, and a pair of large leather boots. Lin Fan glanced at his extended hand. He only nodded indifferently and did not shake it. The smile on Jiang Tianhai's face stiffened for a moment.
