Greem had to temper his Spirit in the sea of lava beneath Fire Throne once every , his mental space would experience continuous quakes and contraction Still, this was only a te as he supplied proper treatment and nutrition, Greem's Spirit would increase by 004 points once the quakes had stopped

This nunificant, so much so that even Greeh self-assessment had it not been for the Chip's detailed scans However, this sort of groas real and absolute As long as Greem kept up his efforts, the days would accumulate and eventually all of his Spirit would be completely elementiumized

When that happened, the elementiumization of both his body and Spirit would reach a balance The necessary conditions for his advancement to Second Grade would then be fulfilled

To fully utilize every bit of time he had, Gree the period of weakness following Spirit te

His body had already completed elementiumization Greem's body of flae from elementium fires However, elementiumization had only increased his body's compatibility with eleth in his body

That hy Greem would always use voodoo poison to sti more of its potential He would then follow it up with a carefully-prepared y meal to solidify his body's foundation

His Spirit and body's attributes were slowly but surely i under the precise help of the Chip

Thus, time slowly passed by under such a routine, day by day

The tower party that had gone to investigate the ruins had barely one to was the burial grounds of some ancient adept cult After tens of thousands of years, that place had turned into a dangerous place rife andering souls, ghosts, and monsters

From then on, an unspoken rule was created in the World of Adepts All Great Adepts that had gone beyond Fourth Grade had to leave the World of Adepts and proceed beyond the realm It was only then that Great Adepts could be prevented fro power

The departure of those Great Adepts had caused ical systems and ancestries to fall or even vanish from the World of Adepts Soul Equipment was undoubtedly one of these systems

The Soul Equipment that could be found in the World of Adepts noas ales The adepts of the present had lost the techniques to craft and strengthen their Soul Equipment

However, what made Greem feel extremely fortunate was the fact that he found a clue in these records; a hint to strengthen Soul Equipment
