FATE: Target of Grand Master

The first thing Xia Yan did upon returning to the safe house was to inform the members of "The Lighthouse" about his alliance with Hu Xia.

After all, the opponent is mysterious and powerful, and he is being watched by the opponent. According to the rules of "Lighthouse", he still has to inform the other members about his situation.

Upon learning that they would be facing "information brokers" who could change the rules, the members of "The Lighthouse" did not show fear, but instead expressed their determination to become stronger as soon as possible.

Under the battle royale rules of the Master Trial, Xia Yan felt genuinely proud and honored to have met such sincere partners and to have created the "Lighthouse" Master group.

After sharing the safe house vulnerability he had discovered with others, Xia Yan put away his phone.

"Xia Yan, buy these materials from the BB store."

Just then, Morgan slipped a note into Xia Yan's hand.

Xia Yan opened it and found the Claw of Chaos, the Heart of the Barbarian God, the Dragon's Reverse Scale, the Blood Tear Stone, the Elven Root...

Good heavens, these are all rare gold materials.

"Morgan, what do you need these materials for?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

"Of course, I'll make you a magic amplification item. Your body can currently only handle a maximum of 60 magic circuits. To further increase the efficiency of your magic usage, you can only rely on external forces. I will make you a magic amplification amulet. When you need to use magic, you can use the large source of magic in the surrounding environment to amplify your magic output. Of course, to achieve the same effect, you will need to consume less small source of magic. How you use it is up to you to decide."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan exclaimed with delight, "Why are you only giving me something this good now?"

Morgan anticipated Xia Yan's question and gently poked Xia Yan's head.

"You didn't have many points left to exchange for materials before, and this amulet only works well if you have enough base magic power. Even if I had made it for you before, it wouldn't have helped much and would have just wasted your Master Points."

"All right."

Xia Yan would never argue with Morgan about magic, after all, the gap between his and Morgan's skill in magic was greater than the gap between a primary school student and a university professor's knowledge.

After using 82 points to exchange for the materials Morgan needed, the genius witch took the materials back to her room and went to work.

After entrusting the important task of cooking to Miss Tsuru, Xia Yan seized the time to find Musashi and once again seek her swordsmanship guidance.

Musashi was naturally overjoyed to arrive at the minor singularity with Xia Yan.

For the next three days, apart from eating and sleeping, Xia Yan spent almost all his time sparring with Musashi.

"The essence of swordsmanship lies not only in sword skills, but also in mindset. Xia Yan, with your current physical abilities, you can master most sword skills with diligent practice, but you are still far from mastering the mindset."

Lying on the ground, shirtless and panting heavily, Xia Yan nodded silently.

Through the adventures of the Master Trials and the training of Morgan, Cú Chulainn, and Musashi, Xia Yan's body, though not having eight-pack abs, has full and well-proportioned muscle lines, definitely meeting the physical requirements of an excellent swordsman.

However, Xia Yan also understands that so far, he has mostly participated in battles as a Master, meaning he only needs to sit in the rear and command.

This is the duty he should uphold as a Master, and it is by no means something to be criticized for. However, it also means that he lacks experience in face-to-face physical combat with enemies. Even though he has occasionally fought against other Masters or even shown his will when facing gods like Ereshkigal, most of those times were due to his survival being threatened and he had to take action, rather than based on his own subjective will to change anything.

These two things may seem to make no difference to Xia Yan's actions, but they will have a huge impact on Xia Yan's state of mind.

Take Fujimaru Ritsuka as an example. In the first part, when repairing the singularities, Ritsuka had no moral burden. For the sake of humanity's survival and his own, he only needed to keep repairing the singularities. However, in the second part, when conquering the Lostbelts, Ritsuka's actions were destroying the hope of survival for people in other worlds. Although both were fighting for survival, choosing to ignore the worlds of these Lostbelts versus facing the sin of destroying other worlds while still fighting for one's own world represents two different mindsets.

Following the process of the Master Trials, Xia Yan knew that he would soon begin the Lostbelt Trials. Even though he was well aware that this was just a trial, how to view the worlds of these Lostbelts was still an inescapable question for every Master.

Whether one acts solely based on the system's assigned tasks or on their own judgment, different choices will lead to different fates and outcomes.

That's enough for today.

Musashi handed him a bottle of water and even thoughtfully unscrewed the cap.

"Thanks."

Xia Yan took the water bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

"Nero, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Now, let's have a good fight."

Musashi immediately turned around excitedly to spar with Nero, feeling a sense of joy at finally not having to play house with Xia Yan, that little kid.

Xia Yan scratched his head helplessly, realizing that it was still too much of a stretch to compare himself to these outstanding Servants with a human body.

For the next two days, Xia Yan did not train anymore, but allowed his body to fully recover from fatigue.

The only noteworthy thing during this period was the magic amulet that Morgan made for him.

Morgan had already explained the effects, but what made Xia Yan feel a little awkward was that Morgan made the magic amplification amulet into the shape of a ring and forced Xia Yan to wear it on the ring finger of his left hand, making it seem like he was proposing to him.

Xia Yan wasn't against wearing the ring; he just felt that proposing was something the man should do to the woman, and Morgan's actions made him seem like Morgan's bride.

I don't want to wear a wedding dress at my wedding!

In stark contrast to Xia Yan's awkwardness was Morgan's satisfied smile, and for the next two days, Morgan's lips never drooped.

Xia Yan even secretly tried to remove the ring and wear it on another finger when Morgan wasn't around, but was shocked by the anti-removal spell Morgan had hidden in the ring.

You should know that Xia Yan has a portable lightning rod as a lightning protection device, and even so, he was still shocked by the ring. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been electrocuted to ashes.

And so, Xia Yan had no choice but to obediently wear this "wedding ring" and begin his journey.
