"Though I have a few breakthrough ideas, I'm uncertain which path I should take," Domenico stared intently at Lor, eyes shining, "Could it be that Speaker Lole has foreseen how I will break through to the Five-Ring?"

He had been seeking a new breakthrough path, and naturally, he had not been without results over the past four thousand years,

but having results did not mean he dared to choose that path for a breakthrough. After all, this wasn't like a Witchcraft Position where others could experiment first; he could only try it himself.

If the path was wrong, the future would be bleak.

"Indeed."

Lor nodded, making it up, "When I was predicting the future before, I happened to see the scene of your breakthrough to the Five-Ring."

"At the moment you broke through to the Five-Ring, it seemed as if you abandoned your physical body, transforming into a Soul Body."

"That's all I saw. I'm not sure if it would be of any help to you."

In truth, he could indeed spill out more detailed information about the breakthrough path of a Soul Mage, but it was unnecessary.

Because Domenico was ninety-nine percent sure how to reach that state, he just hadn't dared to make up his mind because he couldn't determine if it was the right breakthrough direction.

"I see, I see."

Domenico's head lowered, his eyes shining brightly, whispering, "Indeed, I should completely abandon my physical body and use it as nourishment for my soul."

"My path lies with the soul, not the body."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his exposed cheeks and palms started to wither. Judging by how his Wizard Robe had sunken inward, his body was likely the same.

Witnessed by numerous speakers and legislators, Domenico actually began to break through on the spot.

"Domenico!" Speaker Aisling, of the Sixth-Ring Wind Element, clenched her fists, her fingers turning white, looking extremely worried at Domenico, who almost instantly appeared skin and bones.

"Speaker Aisling, no need to panic."

Francis smiled slightly, "I believe Speaker Domenico would only attempt the breakthrough if he was sure, and I believe Speaker Lole's prophecy about the future is correct."

"I believe it won't be long before the Wizard Alliance's first Five-Ring Soul Mage is born."

"Let's hope so." Aisling nodded, though her gaze at Domenico remained worried.

The other speakers and legislators remained silent, quietly watching the breaking-through Domenico, offering their blessings in their hearts.

The success or failure of this breakthrough would affect a series of subsequent war strategies, and no one wanted him to fail.

A minute passed.

"Poof—"

Domenico's flesh suddenly turned to ash, and his Wizard Robe fell to the ground, making a slight sound that echoed in the ears of every legislator and speaker, causing their hearts to skip a beat.

Based on their experience, whether this Speaker's pioneering breakthrough was successful could be confirmed at this moment.

Soon, a translucent figure with closed eyes and a hint of silvery-gray glow appeared before everyone.

From the facial outlines of this translucent figure, everyone could vaguely make out some features belonging to Domenico.

"Whew—"

"It's done."

"Haha, as expected of Speaker Domenico."

"Speaker Lor's guidance was equally invaluable!"

"In this light, those Five-Rank Alien creatures won't become burdens, but rather our assistance."

"It's a pity if Speaker Domenico had broken through a year earlier, I wouldn't have had to kill that Five-Rank Saint Asia Tree."

"Indeed a pity, I also completely killed a Five-Rank Holy Relic, now there's one less way to acquire Holy Relic Resonating Silver, alas."

...

One by one, the speakers and legislators expressed themselves, some happy, some regretful, but overall, there was more joy.

After all, Domenico's breakthrough did turn a burden into an asset for the Wizard Alliance.

While everyone was sighing, the Soul Body form of Domenico slowly opened his eyes, with a silver-gray light emanating from his eyes.

"Hmm—"

"Ah—"

"Hiss—"

Including Vincentia, all the legislators and speakers below the Five-Ring covered their heads in pain the instant their eyes touched that silvery-gray light, feeling as if their brains were being pricked by needles.

The Five-Ring speakers and legislators also looked at Domenico in disbelief.

When they saw that silvery-gray light, they too felt as if their souls were shaken by something, with a momentary daze.

It should be noted that they are currently having a meeting via the Continent Communication Device!

In reality, separated by tens of thousands of miles would be considered close.

Yet, even so, their souls were still shaken by Domenico, an achievement nearly close to a miracle!

As for the Sixth-Ring speakers, they only felt a slight ripple in their souls, almost unaffected.

Yet their gaze at Domenico was not much different from the Five-Ring speakers and legislators, given that this was only a meeting via the Continent Communication Device.

If seen in reality, what would happen when they saw that light again?

Lor's face also 'appropriately' showed some slight astonishment, but his heart remained unusually calm.

From the Five-Ring, the deterrence of Soul Mages within the same level reached an unparalleled level, yet cross-level combat was not possible; it seemed difficult to even equal a Sixth-Ring Mage, mainly depending on the strength of the soul.

The soul strength of a Five-Ring Mage compared to a Sixth-Ring Mage was like the difference between a pond and a lake.

If a pond of silt were poured into another pond, it would muddy the other pond beyond recognition.
