I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

So, what he needs to do now is to continue cultivating and mastering more Divine Arts!

Lis massaged his temples with a headache, not expecting the process of cultivating Divine Arts to truly be a matter of tempering the body, but he had already begun to master the Divine Arts, and his progress would become faster and faster.

Lying in his own bed, Lis used massage to relieve his muscle soreness.

In the future, he would use the daytime to train his body, polish his bones and muscles, and at night to decipher the Magic Array between his eyebrows, comprehending its mysteries.

Luckily, his spiritual power hadn't weakened much; otherwise, trying to decipher this Magic Array might have been even more strenuous.

It looks like he'll have to stay in this dream for a while longer.

Lis sighed. It had only been half a year since his rebirth, yet he'd spent such a long time in this dream.

He must seize this opportunity!

...

One month after mastering Divine Arts,

Lis had successfully mastered all low-level Divine Skills, and Priest Kelly began to take him into the Luoxue Mountains to hunt Magic Beasts and hone his real combat skills.

...

Three months after mastering Divine Arts,

Lis had completely mastered all the intermediate Divine Skills and his combat abilities had improved rapidly. Priest Kelly was confident in Lis's strength and allowed him to go into the Luoxue Mountains to train by himself, focusing more energy on Rory and Akhar, who both had just started training and had not yet mastered their first Divine Skill.

...

Half a year after mastering Divine Arts,

On the outskirts of the Luoxue Mountains, a group of six or seven people dressed as Hunters were slowly approaching Snow Ridge Town.

Having been on high alert in the mountains to guard against stealth attacks by ferocious Magic Beasts, they were now somewhat relaxed, talking about recent happenings.

"Rogel, your boy, Miles, is getting more and more impressive!"

A rough voice rang out from the team, as an old Hunter with a weather-beaten face smiled at Rogel and said:

"Just two days ago, he dealt with that wild wolf pack that strayed close to the town all by himself, and those were Magic Beasts!"

"Yeah, he's only thirteen now, right? But he's as big and strong as an eighteen-year-old lad."

"He could become as impressive as Priest Kelly himself."

...

Listening to his companions' praises, Rogel waved his hands modestly and said,

"Oh that kid, he just has some talent, but he's nowhere close to Priest Kelly."

Though he said this, Rogel couldn't help but let his lips curl up with pride—after all, Miles was his pride and joy!

"Rogel, you're being too.…"

The Hunting Team's leader also turned his head, smiling as he prepared to tease Rogel.

Roar!!!

Before he could finish, sudden chaos erupted!

With a shadow flashing across the wilderness to the side followed by a loud fierce roar, a three-meter-long snow-white beast appeared on the path right in front of the Hunting Team.

"Snow Leopard, be on guard!"

The leader immediately recognized the fierce creature in front of his teammates and issued a warning.

The well-coordinated Rogel and his comrades immediately picked up their weapons, intently watching the Magic Beast radiating a strong murderous aura, yet feeling somewhat desperate inside.

Why would a Snow Leopard, which only roamed the mountains of the Luoxue Mountains, appear near Snow Ridge Town?

On the outskirts of the Luoxue Mountains, snow leopards, Winter Wolves, and Earth Bears were the three most powerful Magic Beasts—simply not something their Hunting Team could handle.

In the entire Snow Ridge Town, only Priest Kelly could defeat them head-on.

However, what puzzled Rogel and the others was that the snow leopard didn't launch an attack on them. It merely glanced at them but kept a watchful eye on its surroundings, as if it was on guard against something.

Rogel's gaze sharpened as he noticed something off about the snow leopard's right leg, a faint red wound.

Was this... from fighting with other Magic Beasts?

No good, they needed to leave this place quickly. If they got caught up in this, it would be the end.

The captain of the Hunting Team also noticed this problem and was about to signal his companions to withdraw when suddenly, a figure leaped over their heads and slammed hard into the snow leopard.

The snow leopard, seemingly slowed by its wounds, was caught off-guard and sent flying by the impact of the figure.

Bang!

The snow leopard was hurled away, landing in the thick shrubs at the foot of a hill.

Only then did Rogel and his companions notice the figure standing where the snow leopard had been—a tall, sturdy figure with simple clothes that could hardly conceal the firm muscles underneath, holding a bronze-colored Heavy Hammer the size of a human head in hand.

"Miles?"

Rogel realized only then that the sudden figure was none other than his nephew.

Lis was too occupied to respond to Rogel's call and dashed after the snow leopard, diving into the shrubs.

This snow leopard had been his prey for a long time, having previously escaped his pursuit due to its agile body and familiarity with the terrain of the mountains.

But this time, Lis had carefully planned for a long time, luring it down from the mountain ridges. He was determined to succeed in subduing the snow leopard.

As an Extraordinary Magical Beast, the snow leopard possessed a certain level of intelligence, so if he failed this time, the same method might not work again.

Rogel and the others stood rooted on the spot, watching as Lis's figure disappeared into the shrubs. After a violent shaking of the bushes, they stared in shock as Lis walked out, dragging the snow leopard by one of its hind legs.

The snow leopard's head was a blur of flesh and blood, apparently having suffered a severe blow, and it was clearly lifeless now.

"Uncle Rogel, hello, uncles of the Hunting Team!"

Lis greeted everyone politely, and if it weren't for the giant Magic Beast in his hand, the Hunting Team members would likely have happily responded.

But now, they were all frozen in place, nearly forgetting to breathe.

This... this was a fully-grown snow leopard, only Priest Kelly was supposed to defeat it!

Could it be that Miles had already...?

Seeing that everyone remained stationary, Lis did not mind, dumping the snow leopard's carcass in front of Rogel and the others.

"Uncle, I've got things to do, could I trouble you to take this back for me? Just divide it up among everyone!"

Lis said with a smile, and then without waiting for Rogel to respond, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Rogel..."

The first to come to his senses was still the captain of the Hunting Team, who sighed deeply and said to Rogel:

"Your nephew Miles, he's remarkable!"

...

Lis, who had just killed the snow leopard, didn't give it much thought. Although the snow leopard was an Extraordinary Magical Beast, it was, after all, just a Bronze Demon Beast, barely possessing the strength close to Silver Level. With his current strength, as long as he seized the opportunity, he still had a chance to kill it. Experience more on empire

Lis estimated that he now possessed the strength of High-level Bronze!

This was an outrageous matter!

In just half a year, from a weak little boy to a Top of Bronze, this rate of progression was terrifyingly fast.

This was certainly due to Lis's own unceasing training and the abundance of experience he gained from practice, but this speed of advancement, comparable to being directly leveled up by a system panel, was still quite exaggerated.
