“Undead?”

Gloria’s thin eyebrows slightly twisted as she frowned. After she sighed, she said with a lonely tone, “I… I don’t even know what I am. Maybe I’m an undead like you said, or maybe I’m not. I was created… generated from my little sister’s excessive longing for me…”

“A second identity?” Qian Jin remembered a technical term from a medical book he read and quickly said it out loud.

“A second identity?” A pondering expression appeared on Gloria’s face. Then, a cold smile appeared; it was so cold that Qian Jin felt like it was even colder than the weather in Four Season Valley. “This is a very suitable term. Did you come up with it?” she asked.

Qian Jin laughed as he shrugged his shoulders. Among all the peers his age, very few of them had read as many books as him. This was true, even among the young people who wanted to become civil officials, doctors, or other professions who needed to read a lot.

“I’m going to start meditating.”

Gloria said coldly. After she said that, she sat on the dry grass and controlled her great Spiritual Power to quickly enter into a meditative state.

Qian Jin didn’t expect there to be such a huge difference between Gloria’s and Gabriella’s personality. He was surprised by the huge amount of Spiritual Power and couldn’t go back to sleep right away. He leaned his back against the wall and looked at Gloria, who seemed a little strange. After making a lot of hypotheses about what was going on, he decided to open his mouth and ask, “Are you interested in chatting a little?”

“Some other day.” Gloria didn’t open her eyes as she answered back casually, “I need to condense my Spiritual Power into Magic Power.”

Qian Jin’s expression froze on his face as he was shocked. “Condense Spiritual Power into Magic Power? Gloria is only one year older than me. There really is a huge difference between mages and warriors,” he thought.

After condensing all of one’s Level 10 Spiritual Power into Magic Power, then Gloria would become a real Supreme Mage! When a group of mages formed a magic array, a Supreme Mage would be the center of the array. They were responsible for controlling the array. The Supreme Mage would combine all of the mages’ Spiritual Power together and use the magic array to cast a large-scale magic spell.

When a mage fought a warrior one on one, he or she could only use magic scrolls. The complexity of the arrangement of magic elements resulted in mages being unable to instantly cast spells like the Fireball Spell. Even low-ranked spells such as the Slow Spell and Frighten Spell required a few seconds to be casted.

However, Supreme Mages were completely different! They were a bunch of monsters who had completely converted their Spiritual Power into Magic Power. They could easily cast magic spells like Slow Spell instantly; even the Fireball Spell could be instantly casted.

Of course, if a Supreme Mage was facing a warrior in a one on one situation, he or she wouldn’t instantly cast spells like Fireball Spell. Warriors weren’t dummies or scarecrows that couldn’t move; they could dodge and defend themselves.

Supreme Mages still used magic scrolls during fights against warriors and other mages. The only difference was that they drew and made their own magic scrolls. The power of the scrolls that mages used was no match to the power of the scrolls that a Supreme Mage made.

Condensing Spiritual Power into Magic Power? Even the most famous Advanced Mage Academy at Zence Empire’s capital – The Holy Capital, would be more than happy to accept such a student and pay for all her expenses.

In a sense, a Supreme Mage who condensed their Spiritual Power into Magic Power was similar to Demon Fighters who advanced from a Level 10 Warrior. However, if you had to rank their status… even Qian Jin would agree that a Supreme Mage had a higher status than a Demon Fighter.

The power and damage that a Supreme Mage had and could deal was limited, but a Supreme Mage who had the help of a group of mages could create an oscillation between their Magic Power and Spiritual Power. The power generated from it was the nightmare for any military troops on the battlefront.

According to a document in the Qian Family, Zola Shoran, the greatest mage who had ever lived in Zence Empire, the mage oracle was an unprecedented mage genius and was praised by all the mages. He was only nineteen when he condensed his Spiritual Power into Magic Power and advanced to a Supreme Mage.

Qian Jin looked at Gabriella, or rather Gloria, in front of him. This girl was only a year older than him, but she was already condensing her Spiritual Power into Magic Power. She was only about seventeen! “If people from the Mage Union saw her, would they kneel in front of her and beg her to join the Mage Union?”

“This is strange,” Qian Jin stared at Gloria in confusion. No matter what Gloria was, the fact that she used the same body as Gabriella couldn’t be altered. “Why do I feel a little inferior when I face Gloria, yet why did Gabriella achieve the worst record in Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy Mage Student history?”

After two hours, Gloria’s Spiritual Power increased, but it didn’t condense into Magic Power like she said.

After a short period of silence, Gloria’s cold, yet agreeable voice resonated in the cave again, “Gabriella doesn’t know of my existence.”

“Oh.” Qian Jin nodded. “I won’t tell her then. Are you interested in talking now? I’m a bit curious. What kind of strange past did you and Gabriella experience? How did it form this weird state that you’re in?” he asked.
