Snow arrived back home after separating with Yumi when they finished their tour around the city and his attention was now transferred to his new Celestial Spirit Blood Essence.
Celestial Spirits, they are a race which seems human but at the same time they are not. The Celestial Spirits are capable of transforming to another form, just like his Shift after he had. achieved Myriad Transformation Realm.
Celestial Spirit Blood Essence are extremely rare, only found when the Celestial Spirit's age is greater than a million of years!
He was surprised to see it in this reality when there are no signs of Profound Energy which is why he was kind of disappointed that he can't increase his cultivation.
[ WARNING: Cultivation base of 9th of True Profound Realm will disappear completely once continuing with the absorption. ]
He nods before sitting down on a meditative pose, his body relaxed, his breathing stable, and his mind sharp as he slowly revolved his profound energy from his core, his Profound Veins, and expel them through his Profound Entrances.
He did this in order to clear out the impurities within his body together with the Profound Energy as he felt his power weakened but his foundations became stronger than any other.
His cultivation came back to 1st Elementary Profound but his blood pumped Taiji Energy from his heart as the Celestial Spirit Blood Essence worked its magic.
The only reason he confirmed to go through this process is the hint of achieving a blood capable of generating its own Taiji Energy and it seems his gamble paid off.
The Taiji Energy destroyed his Profound Veins as he smiled when he shut off pain receptors and he felt only a slight twitch to his body, and after the destruction of his Profound Veins came the construction of his Taiji Veins and also his Taiji Entrances.
Even if he is now capable of breaking through to Nascent Profound Realm, he didn't do so as he wanted to focus more on his body. Utilizing Nature's Pagoda, he would focus more on his body cultivation than cultivation base known full well to him that his body can contend up to 10th Spirit Profound Realm and it will only rise up a great realm every two years.
For a cultivator, age is just a number and what is most important is power, and lifespan. But his lifespan increase with his body cultivation and he generates Taiji Energy as well... looks like the importance of profound cultivation is nonexistent to him, for now.
He sensed his Taiji Energy leaking so he used it to form a barrier which prevents the leaking and absorb it back. This Taiji Energy can also be used to counter magic via its destructive properties so he can walk around unhindered.
'Hmm? There's no change to Nature's Pagoda aside from the illusory blood essence on the third tile.' he was sad that there was no visible change in the pagoda since he was proud of his own creation and want it to become more beautiful.
'Aside from Shifting which also change the color of the pagoda, there's no other methods to give it special effects.' if the cultivators are to hear these, they'll cough up blood in rage!
'Brother, here we are learning useful combat techniques yet you only want special effects?! I know it makes it look good but try to look at the functionality side of things!?' although he would say that his combat technique is much better than theirs so they can only shut up.
"Looks like I'll focus on purifying the Celestial Spirit Blood Essence completely before I try to find another blood essence to absorb/refine." he muttered as he slowly glanced outside and saw the rising sun, blinding him with morning sunshine before he settled his gaze to the car near his house and saw Mayumi coming out.
He heard a notification ring as he used magic to make his terminal float to him and saw a message from Yumi saying, [I'll go in, open the door for me. I brought breakfast so eat with me!] which he simply added her to the house' security whitelist before he replied with [I'll take a bath so enjoy yourself first.] and gone to the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later, he got himself prepared with his uniform and eaten together with the young heiress, complimenting the cook that it was delicious and saw a smiling Mayumi that made him confirm his suspicions that it was the young heiress herself who made the meal.
"No need to bring breakfast, just come here and I'll cook for both of us. Meals are best eaten right after it is made after all." he said making the young heiress blush thinking if she was caught and at the same time wanting to eat his meals as well!
"Hmm~? By the way, why do I feel better when I'm around you? I've been feeling it since this morning after I got here." she asked and he knew there was no other meaning under her words... well there might be... but what she was saying is the truth.
"That's because I'm emitting Taiji Energy that you are currently absorbing passively. Don't worry though, this is just excess energies." he explained which made Mayumi wide-eyed to how extremely condensed Taiji Energy is in this house! And this is just an excess energy emitted by Snow!
"Just how powerful are you?" she asked with a helpless tone and saw Snow thinking hard to her question.
"Hard to say, just think of me as what your clan has identified me. An anomaly." he didn't care much about him being identified as one even though they are the same, just that he came from a much ancient era which means he's capable of using ancient magic much better than modern magic.
Without his Game Levelling System, he will be using more of Ancient Magic since there is more complexity and secrecy to them than the extremely straightforward and scientific Modern Magic. Ancient Magic compared to Profound Arts, the only difference would be the level of mystery and requirements.
'An anomaly when you're human? Then what are magicians?' she remembered some of the research institutes she visited during her childhood and thought that if he is a human yet considered an anomaly, then what makes a magician like them be considered human?
Snow felt the change in Mayumi as he patted her head before looking at the clock and seeing there is more than enough time for the ride from his house to the school, he thought to spoil her for now as he carried her to the lounge and gave her a lap pillow.
Mayumi's mental state which was extremely low became extremely high the moment she was given a lap pillow as she even turned her face to Snow's stomach and wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him as he caressed her hair.
'It was extremely effective than I thought it would be.' he smiled and went unnoticed by Mayumi who closed her eyes, enjoying the comfort he gives to her.
Time passed quickly before Snow decided it to be enough time as he looks at the clock and saw that there is about twenty minutes left so he woke up the sleeping Mayumi and telling her it's about time they leave.
'I wanted to enjoy it some more though...' both thought at the same time but time waits for no one.

"You may enter, Snow-kun." the professor told him to enter as he entered the classroom, all eyes were trained on this devilishly handsome young man who simply gave them a smile and introduced himself.
"Good morning, I'm Snow Nightshade where Snow is my given name and Nightshade is my surname. It's a pleasure to meet everyone." he said before the young ladies start to whisper among themselves while the young men had stars in their eyes!
'We definitely need to know how he get this level of manliness!' they thought as they are still teenagers, they also want to look as cool as him! Never in their minds occurred that they can harm him, nope. They have already considered him as out of their league!
"As for your seat... quite lucky I suppose. You are seated next to Shiba Muyiki, get along well now." the professor eyed the young man who was seated beside Miyuki who nods before transferring to another seat.
When he was seated, he gave Miyuki a glance in his peripherals and saw her staring at him both curiously and cautiously which made him tell her, "The lecture's starting young lady. Focus." which made Miyuki nod before she started to listen but her curiosity truly takes a lot of her attention away from the lecture.
'Must be an order from the Yotsuba Clan, Yotsuba Maya was it? I'll give her a visit at a later date, for now study.' contrary to others who used terminals to take notes, Snow pulls out a notebook and a pen which use ink that's mainly used for printing as he wrote Ethereal Night Realm's writing system than Japanese.
He wrote truly like a royalty would as others were truly captivated by the sight, not paying attention to the lecture as it is just history but Snow thought otherwise. It is always a good thing to know of history, more so in Ethereal Night Realm as it can be a good source of information for potential treasures and also extremely rare finds such as Inheritance.
Thus he placed much importance on history, and the next period is about modern magic designing which made Snow realise more application of Systematic Magic!
With the help of the Game Levelling System, yes he became capable of all forms of the Systematic Magic with the skill creating an effective magic ritual to recreate what he is imagining about but his imagination is quite limited.
Magic designing lectures made him realize more application of Systematic Magic which made him break through from LVL49 Modern Magic - Four System Eight Types to LVL53 and he's now capable of Perception Magic!
'Hmm?' He could feel his Information Domain maxed out the moment he was capable of the Perception Magic which made him intrigued how techniques affect each other but there's the Nature Techniques that he developed and they are somehow connected as well.
His Information Domain cover an astonishing distance of a hundred meter radius the instant he became capable of Perception Magic, and he knew he could cast anywhere inside that hundred meter radius with or without a CAD!
He still focused on learning but he could still sense the gaze of his seatmate which made him frown and thought, 'I'm trying to learn here okay!? Please don't bother me like this!' before ignoring her presence altogether.
'I really need to stay at the Student Council Office next time.'
