During this period, Dan Feng had not gone out at all. Because he had decided to reveal his Vidyadhara form, he was constantly seeking guidance from High Elder 'Dan Feng.'
High Elder 'Dan Feng' did not kill Dan Feng but instead stopped at contact, then healed him afterward.
The only downside was that this caused Dan Feng to sleep even longer.
It had to be said—after Dragon Transformation, Dan Feng had truly undergone a qualitative leap.
His strength had become immense beyond measure, his reaction speed far surpassed what his human form could achieve, and his mana had multiplied several times over.
In his Vidyadhara state, Dan Feng could already be considered a perfect mage. However, for a mage who could not engage in close combat, that would be a regret.
So he trained desperately in spear techniques, hoping to defeat the High Elder 'Dan Feng' before him as soon as possible.
After understanding Dan Feng's intentions, High Elder 'Dan Feng' simply shook his head and said calmly: "Without the power of healing, how can you truly defeat me in any meaningful way?"
High Elder 'Dan Feng's words made perfect sense. An Imbibitor Lunae without healing authority was incomplete—his power could never reach the true level of Imbibitor Lunae.
Only when both martial prowess and the authority of healing were fully obtained could one become the genuine Imbibitor Lunae.
These two things were indispensable. Missing even one meant the other could never reach its peak.
During this time, Dan Feng hardly ate anything good, surviving solely on the dried meat left over from their previous travels.
Meanwhile, while Dan Feng remained indoors, Roxy continued attending classes and studying as usual. She had noticed that Dan Feng seemed to have disappeared recently, but she wasn't worried in the slightest.
After all, in her heart, Dan Feng was extremely reliable. He must have had his own matters to attend to.
Since she had already completed the first stage of magic circle courses, Roxy had some free time during this period.
Without a staff, Roxy always felt something was missing. So she sought out someone to purchase intelligence on labyrinths near the Ranoa Kingdom.
She planned to conquer a labyrinth herself and then find a high-quality magic stone to have a staff crafted exclusively for her.
Before heading to the labyrinth, Roxy specifically sought out the principal of Ranoa Magic University to explain the situation.
"Oh? You're saying you want to conquer a labyrinth on your own?" The principal of Ranoa Magic University sat in his chair, then showed an expression of praise.
"Yes, Principal. The reason I came today is to ask you for a magic tool—because my teacher said you would give it to me." Roxy said politely.
"Since you're her disciple, of course I'll give it to you. After all, I owe her my life." The principal shook his head with a smile, then stood up and walked toward the cabinet behind him.
He rummaged through it for a while before finally taking out a water-blue necklace.
"Here, this is for you." The principal handed the necklace to Roxy and slowly explained its function.
"It's called Ringus's Tear. It was a gift from a master magic tool craftsman I once knew. Its effect is to protect you from one fatal attack." The principal said slowly, a trace of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
"It's a pity that master passed away early. Very few things he left behind remain in this world, and this is one of them."
Roxy dazedly accepted Ringus's Tear from the principal, then bowed solemnly toward him.
After all, this was a magic tool capable of blocking one fatal attack—no matter how one looked at it, it was extremely valuable, wasn't it?
Moreover, what magicians feared most was being instantly killed, and the ability to block one fatal attack perfectly served as a safeguard when she couldn't react in time.
"By the way, which labyrinth are you planning to conquer?" The principal suddenly remembered this detail and asked.
"It's the S-rank labyrinth to the northeast of the Ranoa Kingdom." Roxy answered truthfully.
"You're going alone?" The principal was slightly surprised. For one person to dare challenge an S-rank labyrinth showed considerable courage.
"Yes. Because I've already become a Water Saint-rank magician, I believe I can conquer this S-rank labyrinth with available intelligence on my own." Roxy showed a confident smile. Having fully mastered Thundercloud Accumulation, Roxy was now quite full of herself—though of course she couldn't use it inside a labyrinth.
"What? You've already reached Water Saint-rank? Is it Thundercloud Accumulation?" The principal was stunned for a moment, then felt that Roxy's talent was truly terrifying.
"Yes." Roxy nodded.
"As expected of someone taken as a disciple by Bloody Kant. To learn Saint-rank magic in such a short time… By the way, was it taught to you by Jinas?" The principal continued to ask.
"Jinas?" Roxy was puzzled for a moment, then realized he was referring to the author of the thesis she had returned. She shook her head.
"No, it wasn't him. Dan Feng borrowed Jinas-senpai's thesis from the library, learned it, and then taught me." Roxy explained slowly.
The principal then marveled at Dan Feng's extraordinary talent before lending his own staff to Roxy.
"Although the magic stone is for earth magic, it's far better than that transparent staff of yours." The principal showed a kind smile.
"Ah! Thank you, Principal. My staff shattered while learning Thundercloud Accumulation. I was originally planning to go buy a cheap replacement later." Roxy joyfully accepted the principal's staff. Its timely arrival perfectly solved her current urgent problem.
Afterward, Roxy bid farewell to the principal and prepared to pack some things before heading to conquer the labyrinth.
Once Roxy had left, the principal fell into thought.
"This Dan Feng's talent is too exaggerated. Although the thesis includes the incantation, without sufficient total mana and precise mana control, it's impossible to learn Saint-rank magic." The principal muttered to himself, then gazed out the window in silent contemplation.
Roxy, holding the principal's staff, headed back toward her dormitory. She planned to pack some luggage first, then visit the commercial street in Sharia to buy a few useful items.
As for the intelligence on that labyrinth, she had spent considerable effort to purchase it from an information broker.
Although the labyrinth was rated as S-rank, its actual danger level had long since fallen far below that classification.
The reason traced back to some time ago, when the North God had personally visited that place and successfully conquered the S-rank labyrinth.
This feat undoubtedly attracted the attention of countless adventurers, all eager to pick up any scraps left behind—hoping to obtain precious treasures left by the North God.
As a result, large numbers of adventurers flooded into the labyrinth, turning what was already a challenging place into an overcrowded one.
Under such conditions, the monsters and traps within the labyrinth were constantly triggered and depleted, greatly reducing its danger level.
According to the information broker, it would take roughly half a year for this labyrinth to recover to full S-rank danger level.
In other words, at present, this labyrinth was at most only A-rank difficulty.
For Roxy, an A-rank labyrinth posed no real challenge.
After all, she was now a Water Saint-rank magician! With her strength and chantless magic techniques, a mere A-rank labyrinth was child's play—she could handle it with ease.
