Chapter 1531: Chaowei

This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu

The narrator said this as exclamations of surprise began to arise from the audience.

“Yes, exactly the name you are thinking of right now!”

As soon as the words were spoken, a faint phantom shadow began to form on the last floating seat outside the dome.

“Transcendental!”

“Angel Pat!”

As the narrator shouted, Angel’s figure fully appeared, tall and slender in his sharp gent’s attire, appearing aloof and indifferent.

At the same time, Angel’s profile was also displayed on the light screen.

However, at this moment, the audience was either exclaiming at Angel’s appearance or amazed that Angel had indeed advanced as recorded in “Sky of Truth,” with not many paying attention to the information on the light screen.

But Greya in the VIP room focused her gaze on the light screen immediately.

On the light screen, under the column for nicknames, it clearly read: Transcendental!

“Transcendental, is this the nickname he was hiding?” Greya’s eyes filled with confusion: “Does it mean transcending dimensions? It sounds impressive but…”

Lianna’s eyes also carried contemplation, continuing Greya’s words: “But, it seems to have no connection with Illusion Techniques and Alchemy.”

Greya nodded: “However, his grand aspirations are evident at a glance.”

To transcend dimensions, although it was the first time Greya saw such a combination of words, from a True Knowledge Wizard’s perspective, striving for this realm is almost no different from pursuing the truth.

Lianna: “So, is this a nickname envisioning a vision towards truth? Transcendental Wizard, though a bit of a mouthful, it doesn’t sound bad.”

In the external audience seats, because of Angel’s appearance, the noise level reached its peak since the start of the event.

The topic of Angel becoming an Official Wizard has been one of the hottest topics in Sky Mechanical City ever since “Sky of Truth” broke the news, and it’s also one of the most mysterious and confusing topics. Because from start to finish no one confirmed whether Angel had really advanced, but no one denied it either. Amidst the ambiguity, the topic’s heat rose to an unbelievably high level.

Disputes, defenses, sarcasms, mockeries, and even bets with friends were made over it.

All these speculations finally got their validation at this moment when Angel appeared. This is also one of the reasons why the noise level could soar to such heights, with men and women, young and old, all creating a commotion.

Even Melissa, who was one of the supervisors of Infinite Battle Tower, was somewhat surprised and taken aback by this scene.

Before this competition, the supervisors of the Infinite Battle Tower had a meeting where someone proposed to place Angel in the final spot of the appearance, which would surely push the popularity of the New Star Tournament even higher.

Many opposed the idea then, including Melissa who felt subtly uneasy about it.

Finally, the decision was made by Rosen, who switched Angel to the final spot, proving Rosen’s switch was not mistaken.

An unprecedented wave of excitement appeared at this moment.

Melissa couldn’t help but look towards the center of the whirl, where Angel, seemingly undisturbed by the surrounding noise, elegantly nodded and then took his seat.

For Angel to display such a demeanor at this age, at the center under the gaze of thousands, Melissa couldn’t help but nod in admiration.

While Melissa marveled at Angel, she also felt a touch of sorrow. She had witnessed the entire process of Angel’s growth from a low-level Apprentice in the Barbarian Cave, so she knew that Angel had accomplished in a few years what had taken her decades.

This stark contrast and gap made Melissa feel as if she had lived her previous years as a lower being.

While Melissa was self-deprecating, those in the audience seats who knew Angel also showed various expressions.

The handsome man with a fish-scale pattern on his brow - “Son of the Ocean” Jiebo, his eyes flashing with shock and disbelief.

Qi Li, sitting on a broom and holding an oil lamp, silently watched Angel, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Allen, holding a skewer of roasted meat, his mouth shiny with grease, transitioned from stunned to surprised, and finally ecstatic, wanting to embrace the nearby Sinistra, but was kicked away by Kavoline.

The woman whose form was half-transformed into a phantom goose, embracing her companion who cried tears of joy, looked at Angel with complex eyes.

A centaur standing at the back of the crowd joyfully watched Angel, then after a long moment, sincerely bowed his head, seemingly expressing gratitude.

The noisy clamor lasted a long time and gradually subsided with the appearance of a countdown for the competition on the light screen.

But the chatter in the audience seats did not disappear.

After reflecting on the true nature of Angel’s ascension, someone finally noticed the nickname referring to Angel on the light screen.

“Transcendental? So that’s Wizard Pat’s title?” someone exclaimed in surprise. “I’ve never heard of it before.”

“Actually, I think ‘Music Box Alchemist’ sounds better.” There are always dissenters, no matter the time or topic.

“I admit the music boxes crafted by Wizard Pat sound lovely, but do you really think ‘Music Box Alchemist’ is a good title? Why don’t you try calling him that when you see him next time, and see how he reacts?” someone sneered.

“So, what does ‘transcendental’ mean?”

“Who knows? But it sounds like it conjures a grand and distant scene, as if it’s an unreachable truth.”

“It sounds like you’ve encountered the truth yourself.”

The rustling noise also reached Angel’s ears.

Angel’s gaze, too, turned towards the light screen, where the word “Transcendental” appeared, indeed the nickname he had Antonio register.

His nickname wasn’t derived from his talent, but from his vision.

Transcendental, transcending dimensions.

Only by achieving this, could one possibly surpass the universe’s limits and fulfill his promise to Jon, to send him back to Earth.

Of course, choosing this nickname wasn’t just for Jon.

Transcending dimensions was also Angel’s goal. Only by always keeping his mind on the distant, could there be a chance to surpass the limits of dimensions, and seek the true self and absolute truth.

As Greya had mentioned, transcending dimensions was in fact a vision of truth.

…

The competition countdown on the light screen showed five minutes remaining.

Spiwey showed no signs of preparing for the upcoming competition, his eyes fixed on the light screen.

The external scenes projected on the light screen, along with information about Angel, made Spiwey’s expression extremely complex.

Spiwey always felt that, discarding his past glory as Glarke and starting afresh, with his experience and this body of exceptional talent, reaching his past achievements shouldn’t be difficult.

Even if he couldn’t advance to an Official Wizard in a short time, he definitely wouldn’t be weaker than Angel.

But reality was harsh, and his self-satisfaction and pretentiousness were always as fleeting as dandelion fluff.

Angel’s rapid progression had slapped him hard in the face.

The complexity of his feelings was simply indescribable.

However, being a former Official Wizard, Spiwey knew how to adjust his emotions. After slowly overcoming the psychological gap, dismissing unnecessary thoughts, his view of Angel was left with only sighs and admiration.

Regardless, he had taken the Dingyuan Merck oath to Sanders, and now belonged to the Illusion Demon Island lineage; Angel’s advancement was definitely good news for him. Besides, Angel was also a member of the Research and Development Institute. Knowing that once the “Glarke” of Dusknights’ Blade had hardly a few Alchemists, let alone any connection with the Research and Development Institute.

Considering this, Spiwey’s initial reluctance about joining the Illusion Demon Island was now completely gone, even replaced by some relief.

At this moment, across from Spiwey, Dominico also looked towards the light screen with a sense of emotion: “He was someone greatly valued by Mr. Mu Ying. Originally, Mr. Mu Ying really wanted to recruit him into the Extinguished Torch Academy, but unfortunately it didn’t succeed. However, Mr. Mu Ying has mentioned multiple times that he greatly admires Angel… oh, now I should say Wizard Pat.”

Spiwey made no comment on Dominico’s words, simply remarking, “His achievements deserve appreciation.”

This rare response from Spiwey took Dominico by surprise, who then burst into a sudden flower-like smile: “Almost forgot, I heard you’re also from Barbarian Cave? Wizard Pat is still so young, yet you’re already so far behind him, does it feel like there’s a snowy mountain pressing down on you, leaving you breathless?”

The theatrical tone, along with the pointless exclamation, made Spiwey’s fists itch.

Spiwey responded with a cold smile: “I just said, he deserves the praise, but you seem to fantasize too much.”

“Angered by embarrassment? It seems I hit the mark?”

Spiwey wordlessly looked at Dominico: “I think, do you have a fantasizing personality? Maybe by just standing here, you’ve already imagined my entire life?”

“No, no, no, I just saw a drama in my eyes, a drama where you get defeated by me, struggling pathetically in failure.”

Spiwey didn’t respond further, instead falling silent; there was no point in arguing with people from Extinguished Torch Academy.

His gaze turned to the countdown on the light screen.

Only the final minute remained before the competition began.
