The starry sky was deep and dark. Again, Lucien was using the power of the star to refine his spiritual power in the meditation world.
Among all the stars, Lucien’s Host Star was the brightest one, and also the easiest one for him to control.
The light of the star slowly covered Lucien’s soul. Lucien could feel his soul was being nurtured by the star and his spiritual power was improving.
With the help of Storm, Lucien was more energetic than ever, so his progress was rapid. Soon, he felt his soul was filled with power. It seemed like the power was outstretching his soul to reach the stars. For the first time, Lucien realized that his soul could be solidified with power.
Finishing the meditation, the illusion of the starry sky also disappeared. Lucien’s mind was more sober and clearer than ever, and he knew he had become a junior apprentice. Although the change in his soul was too tiny to be observed by other people, Lucien’s soul could now better withstand Mind Magic, recover from common injuries twice faster than before, and be more alert to the surroundings.
However, the damage to his body from taking Storm and achieving the breakthrough was also obvious. Soon Lucien felt exhausted again. Lucien knew that he had to become a real sorcerer to employ certain spells prolonging his lifespan, or he would probably die in his early sixties.

In the following several days, with Lucien’s help, Victor successfully refined Fate and rewrote it into a piece of symphony work. After countless times of practicing, and also with the support of Rhine, finally their playing impressed Mr. Othello.
Mr. Othello’s applause lasted for a while in the music hall, ”It’s an awesome piece of work. It’s gonna make a stir in the audience. Victor, you really have a good student.”
”And you, Lucien,” Othello turned around, ”you’re indeed talented. But remember, becoming famous at such young age can be risky.”
Othello slightly shook his head, still feeling disappointed that Lucien would not devote himself to religious music, and then he left.
”I think what Othello said was right, Lucien.” Victor seemed to be a bit concerned, ”You’ll be facing lots of pressure, mostly because of me.”
”Please do not worry, Mr. Victor.” Lucien comforted him, ”I’ll be driven by pressure and you know I can handle it pretty well.”
Lucien had his own plan: If he could really become famous, he would be able to meet more people from higher status. It would be very beneficial for him to get some precious magic materials such as Moonlight Rose Dust and to earn more Thales to support himself.
”I do believe in you,” Victor nodded, ”and after the concert, your top priority will be practicing piano, which will definitely be your most important skill as a good musician. I’ll try my best to help you stay focused.”
Then Victor switched the topic, ”If you want, Lucien, you can invite some of your families or friends to the concert.”
”Really?! But I heard that one ticket for a Psalm Hall Concert is worth at least a Thale… it’s like a whole-year saving for a common family.” Lucien felt it was too good to be true.
”Yes, it is, but you’ve made a great contribution to the concert, so you deserve this.” Victor smiled, ”The leading musician, the conductor and the chief instrumentalist of a Psalm Hall Concert always have some extra tickets for their families and friends. It’s pretty nice, isn’t it?”
”It’s awesome, Mr. Victor! Thanks a lot!” Lucien was very excited, as he still remembered uncle Joel’s music dream. ”Can I bring five people there?” Lucien was thinking about uncle Joel, auntie Alisa, John, Iven and Elena.
”Well… It seems like you relate pretty well to people, Lucien.” Victor grinned, ”I got this covered. No worries.”
