Chapter 466: Law Advancement
That previous advancement had only raised Janna’s comprehension of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 from six percent to seven percent.
But this time, merely because Janna had created a melody so moving that even the Celestial Finch was touched by it, her comprehension of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 soared from seven to nine percent—a full increase of two whole points!
“Indeed, creating something related to ‘beauty’ is the best nourishment for the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.”
Whether what Janna created could be defined as “beautiful” or not, however, still depended on the moment she received genuine emotional feedback from others—only then could it be truly verified.
“Aph, I’ll come to find you again in a few days. You may return for now.”
“Yes, Master—though I hope it won’t be too long, or Aph will be sad.”
As she spoke, the Celestial Finch affectionately rubbed her head against Janna’s hair, and then, full of reluctance, left the 【Primary Material World】, returning to the 【Holy Realm of Heaven】.
“It’s already this late, huh—”
After completing her 【Soul Listening】 experiment using the Celestial Finch as a subject, Janna put away the 【Strings of Frotenas】 in her hand, then turned her gaze toward the wall clock showing three o’clock in the afternoon.
“Although it’s not too late, I’m not in any condition to study other witchcraft right now.”
Thinking that, Janna rubbed her temples again, which were slightly swollen from exhaustion.
“This is a good chance to test whether the 【Meditation Crystal】 from the White Tower is really effective.”
As she said that, Janna removed her wizard robe and retrieved from her White Tower Special Interdimensional Space Ring a blue-violet crystal—the 【Meditation Crystal】.
“The quality is indeed excellent. Just holding it gives the sensation of one’s spirit power slowly recovering.”
Holding the 【Meditation Crystal】, Janna did not sit cross-legged on her bed as usual; instead, she lay down flat.
“Though lying down risks falling asleep, I’m far too tired today.”
In the past, Janna had meditated while sitting cross-legged not only out of habit but also to prevent herself from dozing off during the early stages of meditation, when entering deep meditation often took a long time.
But today, after studying for dozens of hours in a row, she only wanted to lie quietly on the bed and meditate in a comfortable posture.
“I just hope this time, I won’t fall asleep—”
Whoosh—breathe in, breathe out. Almost the moment Janna closed her eyes, her breathing became calm and steady. From the glow of the 【Meditation Crystal】, it was evident that she had truly entered a deep meditative state, not fallen asleep.
Of course, it did not last long. Two hours later, the 【Meditation Crystal】 in her hand reverted to its original state, and the magic around her gradually quieted until it faded completely.
Having not slept for over two years, Janna finally withdrew from her deep meditation out of sheer mental exhaustion—slipping into a deep sleep.
After sleeping for ten straight hours, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, at one in the morning.
“I really let my guard down.”
Looking at the clock, Janna, who had nearly disrupted her daily meditation routine, sat upright and picked up the 【Meditation Crystal】 that had rolled to the bedside, resuming her unwavering training.
It was not until dawn that Janna emerged from her deep meditative state.
“Sleep truly is a thing that brings joy to humans.”
Ten hours of deep sleep, followed by three and a half hours of deep meditation, restored Janna’s spirit to its peak and greatly improved her mood.
“I’ll grab breakfast on the second floor of the White Tower first, then get ready for class.”
Yesterday, Janna had only one class, 《Law and Plane Studies》, which was relatively light. But starting today, the White Tower would begin increasing the academic difficulty for “newcomers” like her.
For instance, today Janna had to attend four major courses—《Otherworldly Biology》, 《Advanced Guardian Studies》, 《Advanced Medical Studies》, and 《Advanced Mutation Studies》—each lasting about two and a half hours.
“Fortunately, these classes are held in the 【Book World】. Otherwise, I’d have no time left to do anything else.”
Janna estimated that in a few days, the Nightingale Opera Troupe would officially relocate from the Turin wizard settlement to Dordogne. When that time came, her new round of money-making ventures would begin.
Of course, her current mindset was slightly different from before—when she had viewed opera purely as a means of earning money.
Besides developing a genuine fondness for opera, Janna also wanted to use it as a platform to further her comprehension of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.
By now, she had nearly mastered several methods of enhancing her comprehension of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】:
Creating “beautiful” things, experiencing “beauty,” and receiving others’ emotional feedback toward “beauty”—
All of which could be achieved to the greatest effect through opera performance.
Meanwhile, inside Rose Manor at the Turin wizard settlement, Vivian-Rose, who had just exited the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, received a letter handed to her by the butler, Isis.
“I knew she’d write back!”
Noticing the lily-of-the-valley pattern on the envelope, Vivian’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
【Vivian, I’m so happy to receive your letter.
On the second day after entering the White Tower, my days have already been filled with busy studies.
During this time, without your company, I’ve felt truly lonely.
Without realizing it, I’ve grown used to your presence—I’m sure you have too.】
Compared to Vivian’s clumsy handwriting, Janna’s was graceful and neat.
Reading the page filled with words, the disheartened Vivian, who had failed the White Tower Trial, felt a gentle warmth rising in her heart.
“Don’t worry, Janna. By this time next year, I’ll definitely pass the White Tower Trial—I will!”
With renewed determination, Vivian carefully placed the letter back into the lily-of-the-valley-embossed envelope and stored it in her Interdimensional Space Ring.
“Isis, I’m going back into seclusion. Unless there’s something urgent, don’t call me out again—”
