Chapter 183: Fragment of the Law of Beauty
"Exhale—inhale—exhale—inhale—" As Janna's breathing gradually lengthened, she quickly entered a meditative state. Through her soul perspective, Janna soon saw on the Wizard Tree a magenta flower bud that was on the same level as the white flower bud formed by the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】—the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.
The birth of this 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 did not occur when Janna performed the perfect rendition of Song of the Ocean at the Nightingale Opera Troupe and broke through to 【Extraordinary Charisma】.
Although at that moment, Janna did indeed glimpse a visualized anomaly related to the 【Law of Beauty】 in a trance, it was the same as when she first encountered the 【Knowledge of the Law of Purification Insight】. Even though she heard the sacred tone of the laws inside the Sacred Bell, Janna did not immediately comprehend the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】 at that time.
Instead, it was only after she completed a blue mission and received a reward that enhanced her 【Perception】 attribute that Janna successfully grasped the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】 by chance.
This time followed a similar pattern. When Janna broke through to 【Extraordinary Charisma】, she relied on her exceptionally high 【Perception】 attribute to gain her first encounter with the 【Law of Beauty】.
However, that did not mean she could immediately grasp the 【Law of Beauty】 with that one opportunity.
After all, as one of the 【Primary Laws】 in the Material Plane with an extremely broad radiation scope, the authority of the 【Law of Beauty】 was inherently complex.
Desire, art, food, war—all these could be encompassed within the conceptual scope of the 【Law of Beauty】.
Among them, the most superficial and most widely recognized manifestation of the 【Law of Beauty】 was the 【Beauty of Appearance】.
One of the main reasons Janna could comprehend the 【Law of Beauty】 was because her appearance, through repeated increases in 【Charisma】, had broken through the innate human limit of beauty, thereby attracting the favor of the 【Law of Beauty】.
Of course, the two talents 【Voice of the Heavens】 and 【Muscle Control】 also gave Janna a unique advantage in opera performance. Her moving rendition of Song of the Ocean allowed her to indirectly touch the threshold of the 【Beauty of Art】.
The interaction of both factors was the fundamental reason Janna could gain the opportunity to comprehend the 【Law of Beauty】 upon breaking through to 【Extraordinary Charisma】.
Naturally, her 【Comprehension】 attribute, which had already surpassed 10, was also a critical contributing factor.
"Still, the fact that the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 could condense this early is truly unexpected."
Looking at the third law fragment on the Wizard Tree, Janna still felt a sense of disbelief.
She had always believed that even though she had early exposure to the domain of the 【Law of Beauty】, without knowing the specifics of how to comprehend it, she could only continue accumulating 【Charisma】 through attributes randomly granted by the System.
She thought that only when 【Charisma】 had been accumulated to a certain degree would the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 naturally condense.
According to her original plan, Janna assumed that only after evolving 【Extraordinary Charisma】 into 【Charm Domain】 could she, by comprehending the 【Domain Rules】, naturally complete the understanding of the 【Law of Beauty】.
However, through her soul perspective, seeing the magenta flower bud formed from the condensed 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 on the Wizard Tree, Janna still found it puzzling.
She had done nothing out of the ordinary—just performed as usual, taken her curtain call—and yet within a few days, Janna once again touched the domain of the 【Law of Beauty】 and managed to condense the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.
【Fragment of the Law of Growth】, 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】, 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】—
The profound truths of the laws that many Wizard Apprentices failed to grasp in their lifetimes had already yielded three fragments for Janna while she was still a Second Tier Wizard Apprentice.
Even though the 【Fragment of the Law of Growth】 remained inactive, the other two fragments alone were enough to ensure Janna would face no barriers in her future promotions.
"The 【Law of Beauty】, as one of the Primary Laws, is indeed not a bad choice. However, it doesn't align well with my current 【Wizard Talents】."
Moreover, the scope of authority of the 【Law of Beauty】 was far too broad. Even with its high level, its secondary concepts were overly diverse. Without genuine passion, it was difficult to invest enough energy to achieve mastery.
Therefore, Janna did not plan to choose the 【Law of Beauty】 as her primary path to becoming a formal wizard.
"Looks like I must hurry and advance my 【Plant Affinity】 talent to A-rank. That way, I can activate the 【Fragment of the Law of Growth】 as soon as possible—"
Letting out a long breath, Janna exited her meditative state and glanced at the now-bright sky outside the window.
Yesterday was a weekend performance, and it was almost dawn by the time Janna returned to the dormitory from the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
Today was Monday, the troupe's day off. The meditation she had to postpone last night could be made up during the day.
Though working overtime was unpleasant, the double holiday pay helped Janna endure it.
Besides, today wasn’t just a day off—it was also the big day when the Nightingale Opera Troupe distributed year-end bonuses.
"Time to head to the bank and collect my bonus."
After tidying up her long hair and carefully putting on her Wizard Hood, Janna, still feeling uneasy, wrapped the white scarf previously gifted by Liji Silks around her neck, covering the lower half of her face tightly.
Now a household name in Turin City, Janna began going out in full disguise each time to avoid unnecessary public disturbances and trouble.
"No wonder Anna Moonshadow hired a personal assistant to handle daily affairs. Though costly, it truly saves a lot of time—"
With that thought, Janna's gaze fell upon the rooks perched on the tree trunk.
There was no denying that as an Undead Wizard, Anthony-Rook had perfected the use of 【Undead Summoning】.
These rooks summoned from the Death Realm not only served as free labor for Anthony-Rook but also acted as his eyes and ears around the academy.
This method of utilizing contract creatures made Janna, also a Summoning-type, incredibly envious.
"The reason these rooks obey the headmaster so faithfully is, plainly put, because one of his main Contract Summoned Creatures is a Rook Lord capable of commanding an entire flock. One day, if I too can contract a lord-level creature, I’ll finally have that kind of grandeur—"
