183: Impact and Gains

Clarissa simply explained it once.

The strong individuals nodded continuously, like students.

Alice and Ally stood by, their eyes filled with adoring stars as they looked at Clarissa. Although they had heard the content, it didn't have much use for them; it was merely a preliminary understanding. They weren't even Radiant Sun Knights, and reaching the True Intent Realm above legend was still a long way off for them.

After everyone understood, they all thanked Clarissa and, emboldened, sought her guidance.

Clarissa answered each question without holding anything back.

This made the strong individuals' eyes gleam.

This was experience and guidance directly from a Pioneer Honored One!

They seized this opportunity to ask various questions and seek advice on their cultivation difficulties.

Clarissa answered each one.

Finally, this session lasted for a full six hours.

Everyone reluctantly ended it because Alice had already arranged dinner, but seeing how engrossed they were, it had already been delayed by two hours.

However, they still had some 'bottom line.' Although reluctant, they still concluded this session of seeking guidance.

"Thank you, Teacher Clarissa, for your guidance!" The strong individuals bowed to Clarissa one by one, performing the disciple's 禮.

In this wave, Clarissa directly became a godfather—oh, no, a godmother!

The teacher of all the 'ceiling' figures on the entire Normania Continent!

"No worries, it's just a small matter," Clarissa said, waving her hand.

"Clarissa! Let's eat!" Alice said to Clarissa.

"Mm." Clarissa nodded.

"Teacher, please!" The strong individuals followed behind Clarissa like stars surrounding the moon.

Under such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the dinner ended, and everyone went back to their homes.

However, because of the bond Clarissa created, these strong individuals also got to know each other and became friends, or rather, fellow disciples.

Naturally, their relationships became different.

Since they were fellow disciples, their attitudes towards each other became much closer.

After these strong individuals returned to their respective countries and regions, the matter of the True Intent Realm also spread out.

And Clarissa, as the teacher of these strong individuals, had her contributions spread as well.

Including the fact that she became the teacher of a group of strong individuals.

And Clarissa, who bore titles such as "Black Flame Sword Princess," "Sword of Death and Calamity," and "Grosster Empire One-Worded Equal Rank King,"

Under such immense prestige, these names gradually faded away, transforming into one: "Pioneer Honored One"!

She was revered by the entire Normania Continent, her deeds recorded in books, forever preserved in history! Her legends also circulated throughout the continent.

The Grosster Empire also became the number one empire on the Normania Continent because of this, but due to the current atmosphere, there were no conflicts or hatred among them.

Therefore, relations between the countries were very pleasant, and coupled with the "fellow disciple" relationship, their ties became even closer.

The Grosster Empire, moreover, became the "Holy Land" of the Normania Continent due to Clarissa's existence, and its capital became the Holy City.

It was a place yearned for and revered by countless people.

And the Imperial Academy of the Grosster Empire, being directly under the imperial family, coupled with Alice's and Clarissa's relationship, it was said that students of this Royal Academy all had a chance to meet Clarissa, and perhaps even receive her guidance! Those with talent might even be able to become her disciples!

In a short instant, the Royal Academy of the Grosster Empire leaped to become a top-tier academy!

It was also an academy that countless people desperately wanted to join.

As a result, the threshold for the Gloucester Imperial Academy instantly increased by more than ten times, becoming higher and stricter.

This, however, did not deter the enthusiasm of people worldwide, nor did it diminish their feelings towards it.

Instead, they felt it should be so!

The extremely high threshold made this academy a unicorn, a completely unique academy!

It divided the academies of the Normania Continent into four tiers: Primary, Intermediate, Top-tier, and Gloucester Imperial Academy!

The goal of countless students was to hopefully enter the Gloucester Imperial Academy for study!

The entire world development of the Normania Continent suddenly became prosperous. Under Clarissa's "unintentional" influence, the entire continent gradually formed a single entity.

Countries began to form a world alliance with the Grosster Empire at its head.

Clarissa was initially unaware. Later, the entire matter began to get on track and gradually took shape.

A month later, she realized something was amiss, including matters concerning academies... matters concerning the empire... and the occasional joint visits from her "disciples." Only then did she feel something was off, and when she asked Alice... Alice informed her of these things.

And Clarissa, who originally didn't want to be high-profile, looked at her source points and silently said nothing.

48e source points!

A surge of 4 billion source points! And it was still increasing rapidly, with millions, even tens of millions of source points jumping occasionally.

This made Clarissa feel, well, this is pretty good! Not bad, not bad!

Clarissa looked at her panel. Although [Dragon Blood Warrior] required 5 billion to upgrade, Clarissa was not in a hurry for this; her current strength seemed sufficient.

Coupled with the influence of Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng, Clarissa pondered for a moment and chose to upgrade her talents:

[Talent Enhancement VIII] (Cost 1.5 billion) → [Talent Enhancement IX] (Upgrade requires 5 billion)

[Sword Mastery VIII] (Cost 1.5 billion) → [Sword Mastery IX] (Upgrade requires 5 billion)

A total of 3 billion source points were spent, causing the suddenly surged source points to plummet, leaving over 1.8 billion source points.

And Clarissa's [Star Sword Intent] also surged quite a bit.

It increased from 21.5% to 23.6%.

Clarissa pondered for a moment and chose to purchase the derivative of the super-tier combat skill [One Sword]: [Second Sword].

This cost 1 billion source points.

One should know that the original [One Sword] was a reward from God (Tang Ziheng).

It was currently Clarissa's strongest combat method.

Clarissa naturally cared about it, a large part of the reason being that it was a combat skill bestowed by God!

And she also discovered that there was a follow-up.

Naturally, she directly chose the follow-up.

After purchasing [Second Sword], Clarissa had 800 million source points remaining.

Then Clarissa also lamented the power and difficulty of [Second Sword].

Although both were super-tier combat skills, [Second Sword] was several times more powerful and difficult than [One Sword].

Even with her upgraded talent, her initial mastery level was only 'mastery.'

However, she believed that within a month, she should be able to raise it to at least the 'great accomplishment' level, if not 'perfect.'
