Chapter 243: Angel Mark
“The second reward is—Danger Perception.”
【Danger Perception: Before danger arrives, you can receive advance warning through spiritual sense perception.】
Looking at the brief description of this reward on the task panel, Jia Na’s eyes were overflowing with pleasant surprise.
“Isn't this equivalent to 【Spider-Sense】? It’s just that the way of perceiving danger has changed from physical instinct to spiritual sense perception—truly a great 【Character Talent】.”
Not only that, after Jia Na added the 500 talent points from the task reward to her B-level 【Plant Affinity】 talent, she saw that the upgrade progress of the 【Plant Affinity】 talent had reached 95%.
This also means that she only needs to complete three more tasks to obtain her second A-level 【Wizard Talent】.
“I wonder what changes will occur after the 【Plant Affinity Talent】 is upgraded to A-level, and whether the 【Growth Law Fragment】 will also be activated as a result.”
If the 【Spiritual Body Shuttle】 talent was a significant turning point in Jia Na’s strength improvement during her Wizard Apprentice period, then,
the upgraded 【Plant Affinity】 talent will determine Jia Na’s future Wizard path.
“Hmm?”
Just as Jia Na was about to send the Celestial Sparrow back to the Spirit World, suddenly, her gaze couldn't help but fix on the jade on the Celestial Sparrow’s forehead, which had turned amber.
“Afu, when did the jade on your forehead turn golden?”
“Ah—yes, it turned golden—”
Looking at the Celestial Sparrow’s hesitant appearance, Jia Na’s eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately teased softly:
“What, did that Saint again tell you not to say?”
“Ah... no—it’s really not…” Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, the Celestial Sparrow, who had returned to its parrot form, flew back to Jia Na’s shoulder with a slightly troubled look, only speaking softly after a moment.
“Actually, it’s not a secret, but according to the custom of the Heavenly Mountain, all Holy Light Reserves must keep it a secret for one year after obtaining the 【Angel Mark】—otherwise, they will be set up as an example of arrogance and will displease the Holy Light—”
Listening to the Celestial Sparrow’s voice getting lower and lower, Jia Na finally understood.
The reason why the white jade on the Celestial Sparrow’s forehead suddenly turned golden yellow like amber was because it had finally passed the test of the 【Lord of Light】 during this time, officially standing out from the ranks of the 【Holy Light Reserve】 and obtaining the 【Angel Mark】.
This also means that after a few more evolutions, the Celestial Sparrow has a very high probability of directly shedding the “monster body” of low-level Holy Light spirits and evolving into a Lower Angel, a two-winged Angel, whose strength is comparable to a First-Level Wizard.
“Another unexpected surprise—”
Quietly looking at the Celestial Sparrow, who was currently lowering its head, after a moment of silence, Jia Na gently stroked its head feathers and said quite gently:
“I will keep this secret for you, don’t worry.”
“Thank—thank you, Master. Actually, Afu didn't mean to intentionally hide it from Master—”
Seeing that Jia Na wasn't angry, the Celestial Sparrow, who had been conflicted, finally raised its head and gratefully rubbed its feathers against Jia Na’s hair.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You should also go back and rest early.”
As Jia Na spoke, she also faced the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon beside her.
Hearing this, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon also quietly floated beside Jia Na and neatly wrote several large Blood Red characters on its mirror surface.
“Good night, Master (smiley face)~”
“Mm, good night.”
Seeing this, the Celestial Sparrow, who was originally standing on Jia Na’s shoulder, looked at the intimate appearance of one person and one mirror, and then fluttered its wings,
jumped onto Jia Na’s other shoulder, turning its rear towards the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon.
“Master, Afu wants to confirm that Master has safely arrived at the dormitory before going back~”
“Alright.”
After sending off the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, Jia Na, who had reapplied 【Psychological Invisibility】 and 【Light Feather Spell】, walked back to the relatively crowded main road under the cool moonlight, and then quickly headed towards the academy.
“Afu, I’ve actually always wanted to ask you a question.”
“Master, what question is it?”
As Jia Na’s figure disappeared back into the forest mist, her voice, like a gentle sigh in the night, scattered into the quiet evening breeze.
“Why did you accept my contract back then?”
Clearly a 【Holy Light Reserve】 with a bright future in the 【Heavenly Holy World】, why did she disguise herself as a low-level light spirit and sign a contract with Jia Na, who was still a First-Level Wizard Apprentice at the time? Moreover, she was so respectful towards her.
She didn't believe that she had such a strong attraction at the time. After all, at that time, besides her extraordinary beauty, she hadn't shown any peculiar qualities.
Even among her 【Wizard Talents】, there wasn't any that could be related to 【Holy Light】.
Except for the mysteriously rewarded 【Purification Law Insight Knowledge】 by the system—”
“Afu doesn’t know either—Afu just felt that Master had a very pleasant smell on her.”
A pleasant smell?
Hearing the Celestial Sparrow’s description, a smile appeared on Jia Na’s face.
“Is that so, how pleasant?”
“It’s—it’s... a very, very, very pleasant smell.”
Listening to the Celestial Sparrow’s earnest reply, Jia Na’s smile grew wider and wider.
“Alright, I’ve arrived at the dormitory. You can also go back and rest early.”
Looking at the ivory-white apprentice dormitory building in front of her, the Celestial Sparrow also nodded reassuringly.
“Okay, Master, I’ll go back now—Good night!”
“Mm, good night.”
Accompanied by a flash of milky white light, the reluctant Celestial Sparrow returned to the Spirit World amidst the ravens’ squawks, awakened by the bright aura.
“A pleasant smell, huh?”
Feeling the lingering Holy Light aura on her shoulder, Jia Na, who was still pondering the meaning of the Celestial Sparrow’s words, couldn't help but fall into deep thought as she got into the elevator.
“Something that can even attract a 【Holy Light Reserve】, besides the essence of the light attribute, must be the 【Authority Law Shard】 right?”
However, there was still one thing Jia Na couldn't figure out.
The 【Authority Law Shard】 existing in Jia Na’s soul in the form of a “system” is theoretically related to the 【Nature and Life Law】, and has no intersection with the 【Law of Light】 pursued by the Angels in the 【Heavenly Holy World】, nor any related 【Sub-Law】.
However, when Jia Na recalled the first time she comprehended the 【Purification Law Insight Knowledge】, the 【Hymn of Life】 she heard also proved that 【Ifulaysia】 must have visited the 【Heavenly Holy World】 during her lifetime.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gained insights related to the 【Purification Law】.
