Magic Sensitivity: 400, Magic Control Index: 400.

Gaia was stunned and muttered to himself, “Could it be that if I keep strengthening myself with magic energy media like this, I’ll be able to master both magic and martial arts in the future?”

According to the data, Gaia’s physical condition already fully met the standards of a beginner bronze warrior. With his level of battle aura, if he forced himself to act, he could at least reach the level of an advanced bronze warrior. If he really went all out, this battle aura with an index of over nine thousand would definitely unleash terrifying power.

His bone quality had already reached an index of 670, more than a hundred above the standard, and his muscle quality had been strengthened to almost the level of a mid-tier bronze warrior. This couldn’t help but remind Gaia of the toughness of that bloodthirsty Nightmare Orchid—Old Anderson had to shatter a saber just to cut through one of its leaves. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the magic energy media made from this leaf had such a powerful effect on strengthening muscle quality.

In terms of magical ability, although the index hadn’t reached the standard for a magic apprentice, it was already very close. Compared to before, when Gaia couldn’t sense even the slightest magical fluctuation, now he could at least meditate.

Suddenly, Gaia remembered the ring he had found on Hoganberg. He fished the ring out of his pocket: “There might be Hoganberg’s battle aura inheritance inside this spatial ring.”

Previously, there were no mages around Gaia, so he couldn’t open the magic ring. But now, Gaia could meditate himself, so opening this ring was no longer a problem.

Although Gaia wasn’t liked by Sean, when he was in the imperial capital, he was still Sean’s son in name, so he had access to quite a few beginner magic and martial arts books. Therefore, he wasn’t completely clueless about magic.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state. With a magic sensitivity as high as 400, it took him less than five minutes to sense the presence of magical elements around him. Although it was his first time manipulating these magical elements, his equally high magic control index of 400 allowed him, after seven attempts, to successfully channel a trace of magical power into the ring.

With the infusion of magical power, a faint blue glow swept across the surface of the pitch-black ring. Immediately after, with a “whoosh,” a light screen was projected from the ring, and lines of text formed by threads of flame appeared on the azure screen.

Gaia was shocked. He had originally thought this was just a storage ring, but it turned out to be a battle aura inheritance. The top row of those flaming characters clearly read: Soldier’s Battle Aura Inheritance!

Soldier’s battle aura was Hoganberg’s most powerful combat technique, so it made sense that he carried this inheritance with him. Gaia had been troubled about how to cultivate battle aura, but upon discovering this inheritance, he couldn’t help but throw his head back and laugh three times, thinking to himself: Could it be that even the heavens think they owed me too much in my previous life, so now they’re making it up to me with good fortune?

Well, that’s fine. No matter who it is, kindness and grudges must be repaid—even if it’s that damned heaven.

Gaia kept adjusting the ring, slowly pulling the azure light screen downward. The entire inheritance of the soldier’s battle aura was displayed before Gaia. It recorded in detail the cultivation methods for each professional level of soldier’s battle aura, from the first beginner level all the way to the seventh advanced level.

Gaia’s heart burned with excitement. He knew something about the cultivation methods of this world. In the entire Abyss of Magic, there were only five inheritances that could be cultivated from level one all the way to the seventh advanced level; the others could never reach the seventh advanced level.

Most of those who appeared as seventh-level professionals were actually only at the beginner or intermediate level; reaching the advanced level was extremely rare.

In the entire Abyss of Magic, there were only five seventh-level advanced inheritances.

The first was the secret tome “Dragon Emperor Crimson Flame Body” of the royal family of the Shenglong Dynasty’s royal dragon clan. Relying on this super inheritance, the dragon clan had held the imperial throne of the Abyss of Magic for thousands of years. Although supreme power had changed hands several times, it was always within the dragon clan—uncles seizing the throne from nephews, younger brothers usurping their elder brothers, and so on. As for other races, any who rebelled would ultimately be crushed by the dragon clan’s overwhelming individual combat power.

The second was the “Holy Grail Codex” of the Abyss’s number one magic martial academy, Dishe Magic and Martial Academy. This inheritance was engraved on the academy’s nine magic chalices. The reason Dishe Academy had dominated as the top magic martial academy in the Abyss for over a thousand years was precisely because of this seventh-level advanced inheritance.

The third and fourth were held by two rival churches: the Dark Church’s “Ancient Darkness Scripture” and the Nether Society’s “Netherlake Scripture.”

These two churches were the largest in the Abyss of Magic. Smaller churches could hardly survive unless they attached themselves to one of these two. These two inheritances were the supreme tomes of their respective churches.

The only seventh-level advanced inheritance circulating outside was called the “Apocalypse Prophecy.” This inheritance existed only in rumors; no one had ever seen it. That’s why many alchemists in the Abyss of Magic doubted the claim of the five great seventh-level advanced inheritances—they believed the Apocalypse Prophecy was just a legend and shouldn’t really be counted among the five.
