374: Chapter 374 Fatigue and Irritability

Nie Ning was truly shocked by Korda.

This was because gravity manipulation was no longer within the capabilities of low-tier wizards; it required at least the strength of a Tier 3 Wizard to master.

The outrageous part was that Korda had used the power of runes to parse out physical laws like universal gravitation!

Although wizards already had corresponding achievements in this area, for an ordinary person to achieve this in such a short time was truly astonishing.

Not to mention that after adding the variable of Elemental Power, Korda could already directly utilize this power.

A genius!

A true genius!

Surpassing all the wizards Nie Ning had ever met; even an alchemy genius like Heloise could not compare.

Although their future achievements might differ, and perhaps Heloise would go further on the path of transcendence, one could not deny the heaven-defying level of Korda's talent.

After all, only one month had passed.

Previously, although Korda had undergone biological modification, he had been unable to touch the core of the transcendent.

Being able to achieve something in such a short time was enough to show Korda's excellence in this area.

...

Nie Ning looked at Korda with a complex expression.

If it weren't for that rune teacher in the Transcendent World complaining about Korda, he really wouldn't have discovered that Korda possessed such talent.

However, he was still just an apprentice after all, and such high-level operations placed a heavy burden on Korda; soon, Korda began to suffer from excessive Spiritual Power consumption.

"I discovered that these earth-type runes, when combined with Spiritual Power in a specific arrangement..."

Korda's face was deathly pale, but he was exceptionally excited as he explained his previous actions to Nie Ning.

Seeing Korda so enthusiastic, Nie Ning waved his hand to interrupt him: "It seems I should find a separate teacher for you."

What Korda was saying was mostly things he already knew, but Korda had the potential to become a pioneer who created his own unique wizardry, so it naturally needed to be taken seriously.

After all, as an angel investor, he couldn't let Korda's talent be buried.

Korda was not angry because Nie Ning interrupted him.

After all, a wizard's time was very precious, and Nie Ning had already wasted a lot of time on him.

"But..."

Korda hesitated slightly.

"Rest assured, I will help you find a teacher for this aspect, and the remuneration you have paid is enough to last for a long time."

Seeing Korda's thoughts, Nie Ning smiled and patted Korda on the shoulder.

In this Transcendent World, knowledge had always been a very expensive commodity.

Xiao Guang and Korda's learning progress were different; sharing a teacher would only hinder both of them.

Moreover, the formula for nether spirit gold alone was already very valuable, so finding a separate teacher wasn't a big deal.

"Then thank you, My Lord."

Korda bowed sincerely, the gratitude in his eyes fully apparent.

To him, the fact that Nie Ning allowed him to come into contact with the Transcendent World was a favor that surpassed everything; a thousand words could not compare to producing some actual results.

Nie Ning smiled slightly: "No need for that; it is just an equivalent exchange between us. You will understand in the future."

After all, having just come into contact with the transcendent, Korda would later realize how precious the things he possessed were.

The two did not chat much more. Nie Ning returned to his experimental desk and began the unfinished construction experiment of the Mirror Pupil.

Nie Ning needed to complete the Mirror Pupil as soon as possible; even a slight improvement would be of great help to his state during cultivation.

Otherwise, if things continued like this, he feared that when Xiao Guang reached Tier 6, whether he himself could break through to Tier 5 would be a question.

...

The replication work of the Mirror Pupil was much harder than Nie Ning had imagined.

Nie Ning spent another month, but there was no substantive progress.

This made Nie Ning exceptionally weary and irritable recently; even his mental state had developed major issues.

He had clearly already rejected the idea of using souls, yet due to repeated setbacks in his experiments, he began to reconsider this decision.

He could feel that as long as he created the Mirror Pupil, his strength would inevitably undergo new changes.

Should he view living beings as ants?

Or should he just continue to be decadent like this?

This was a very difficult question to decide.

...

Nie Ning was lying on the bed sleeping wearily when he suddenly felt the bed shake.

Thinking of Xiao Guang, he felt something was a bit off.

Because Xiao Guang should be studying runes on the third floor at this time.

He opened his eyes groggily, only to see a slender figure.

'Amelia?'

Thinking of Xiao Guang's usual appearance, the overly sleepy Nie Ning turned over and continued to sleep, while that figure lay down beside him.

...

The next day.

Nie Ning was awakened by the villa's restriction.

"Who is this, not sleeping early in the morning."

Nie Ning was filled with anger and sat up from the bed irritably.

Looking at the figure curled up in the quilt sleeping beside him, Nie Ning helplessly climbed out of bed.

"Don't tell anyone I'm here."

Just as Nie Ning walked to the bedroom door, he heard Xiao Guang say this in a slightly hoarse voice.

Originally, Nie Ning felt it was very strange, after all, Xiao Guang didn't know many people.

But sensing that the villa's restriction had been triggered again, Nie Ning suppressed the doubts in his heart and decided to come back later to ask what was going on.

Turning around and arriving downstairs, as soon as Nie Ning opened the door, he saw Amelia standing at the entrance with a dejected expression.

"You..."

Just as Nie Ning was about to ask Amelia, his peripheral vision suddenly caught another Amelia walking out of the kitchen.

"Holy crap, who are you?"

Nie Ning was given a huge fright.

The Amelia who walked out of the kitchen twitched her fox ears, gave Nie Ning the middle finger with a cold expression, and then turned and walked upstairs.

Needless to say, it must be Xiao Guang.

At this moment, Nie Ning turned his head stiffly to look at Amelia and asked somewhat uncertainly: "Are you Amelia?"

"Nonsense! What kind of crazy talk is that!"

Amelia rolled her eyes at Nie Ning and said, her already bad mood becoming even worse.

Hearing this, the corners of Nie Ning's mouth twitched slightly.

Xiao Guang was in the kitchen, Amelia was at the door, so who was on the bed?

"By the way, what did you come to see me for?"

Nie Ning suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked while looking at Amelia.

"My mother has left Yishi Mansion, I wanted to come over and ask if you had seen her."

Amelia said with dim eyes, sounding a bit dejected.

Ever since she returned from the ruins last time, she had noticed that her mother's state was a bit off.

It wasn't until yesterday when she couldn't find her mother that she went to ask her father and found out that her mother had already left Yishi Mansion!

You must know, transcendent forces are different from ordinary families.

There is only one outcome for leaving; that is divorce!

Her father neither admitted nor denied it, so the result went without saying.
