Before Emery did anything, he first cast one of his new spells.
[Light Whisper]
As the faint glow the sign of the spell taking effect appeared, Emery spoke what he wanted to say.
[I have completed my training and am currently in my spirit cave. If you received this message, tell me where you are and I will come to you]
The glow dissipated as Emery stopped channeling spirit energy into the spell. He was actually not sure if the new spell would be able to reach where Klea was at the moment, but he sent it anyway as he also wanted to test the spell's range and capability.
Just in case Emery also sent another similar message, this time toward Magus Shena. It was after all advisable for him not to wander around without his magus protector.
Afterward, Emery sat next to the pond. Closing his eyes, he used his [Nature Grasp] to connect himself with the nature energy around him.
A surge of nature energy swiftly gathered and flowed into his body in a matter of seconds. They came from what existed in his vicinity; the pond, the garden, the cave, and the mountain he was in that were all abundant with spirit energy.
It didn't take long for Emery to feel the pleasant sensation of his entire body brimming with the exuberant spirit energy, which subsequently eased the strain his spirit cores had accumulated after weeks of unceasing hunting and fighting.
After relishing the comfort for a while, Emery beckoned the little creature in front of him. He was finally ready to explore the inspiration he had thought about before.
"Twik, come closer."
Once Twik arrived before him, Emery put one of his arms into Twik's wooden body before trying to probe and make a connection.
As his root-like energy entered the little creature's body, Emery quickly felt the core situated in its chest. It was the one that was created from one part of Tree of Light Primordial Wisp's offspring.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmery clearly felt the extremely rich and abundant light element spirit energy within its core.
Now that he has made a breakthrough to the high stage of Rank 9 Acolyte, he decided to bite the bullet and once again cast the skill he had once used to defeat the powerful Abyss Centipede creature.
[Plant Fusion]
Emery began his attempt by remembering the feeling he felt at that time. Took him a few minutes, but eventually, a certain runes formation was gradually forming in his mind.
"Yes.. this is how it was…"
The spell required the coordinated and total effort of all his two cores, and even so, it was still barely enough for the task. However, as soon as it was about to start, a complication appeared and forced him to stop the entire process.
After contemplating about the matter, he finally realized what the problem was.
Twik didn't have the necessary amount of energy to match his, hence the fusion could not be carried out.
"Kuang kuang ku ku.."
Through [One Mind], Emery could receive and understand Twik's exasperation towards the matter.
"Yes, Twik. I know you wanted to help. Thank you."
Saying those words, Emery scanned the little buddy with his [Analyze] skill. In seconds, a list of information entered his mind.
[Flora Colossi - stage 7]
[Legendary creature level 90]
[Battle power: 155]
[Innate ability]
[Plant mastery]
[Regen]
[Fusion]
The reason the [Plant Fusion] managed to work the last time was because Twik had all twelve of the Primordial Wisp's offspring within him. But now, he only had one which meant the little guy only had one-twelfth of the necessary energy, which was clearly not enough for the task.
Since the issue lay in the fact that Twik simply did not have the energy to power the spell on his part, Emery could only assume that the way to solve the issue was to upgrade Twik to its higher stage of life form – stage 8 or stage 9.
Heaving a sigh, Emery looked at the little guy and said, "I guess we need to find a way to upgrade you, buddy."
"Kuang kuang"
Emery thought about leaving the Hyperion, but with the circumstances surrounding him at the moment, he should not spend all his time wandering around, especially with the possible threats he might have to face from Grand Magus Zenonia's side.
It was at this moment that Emery realized that he had once again forgotten that being a privileged acolyte had its perks and advantages. At times, he couldn't help but lament about this character of his.
As a privileged acolyte, any ingredient or tool he needed could be delivered straight to his cave if he wanted.
Still not receiving a reply from Klea, he decided to operate the store function of his privilege bracelet.
[Store]

The only way to upgrade Twik that Emery could think of was by further understanding the [Metamorph Theory] that the Arbor master had taught him.
For that, he needed a better [Metamorph potion], and Emery was hoping he could make a better one this time.
Just like last time, Emery selected the 12 ingredients needed to create the potion. They all cost a total of 3.800 contribution points, but he didn't mind the price too much as he still had plenty of points to use.
Next, he needed a seed to experiment on, and an idea suddenly entered his mind that brought a smile to his face.
He looked towards the chubby little creatures in front of him and said, "How do you all like to have little juniors to take care of?"
"Ku ku kuang ku"
The question brought quite a chaos among them, but generally, they were excited about the idea.
Reminded how those creatures gave him so much headache at early stage made him hesitate, but then considering he would be returning home soon, now would be the best time to create more of them. He would be making his own proven army of Chizpur Fangs.
[Chizpur Fang - Tier 4]
[1200 contribution Points]
With the current contribution points that he had, Emery decided to buy 30 portions of the Chizpur Fang seeds, and 50 portions of ingredients to create the [Metamorph Potion]. The total amount he needed to pay was quickly calculated.
[226,000 Contribution Points used]
Although it would be an interesting venture for him to try experimenting with different seeds, the current main objective was to further improve his Metamorph ability. Therefore it would be far more beneficial to delve into the matter by experimenting with a familiar type of seed continuously.
Still, Emery put a mental note to purchase more seeds later before he went back home, that if he has extra contribution points to spare.
After he finished his order, Emery suddenly received a message on his bracelets. He quickly checked it, expecting it to be a reply from Klea.
It wasn't from her, nor was it Magus Shena. Instead, it came from the academy.
[Final test will start in 20 days, you are required to return to the academy and received your mission]
