Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-1011

The sage's simple appearance and casual attitude when he interacted with them sometimes made the others forget that the man was a grand magus, a figure ten times stronger than a peak magus.

At that moment, the image of Grand Magus Kadek flying into the elves' spaceship on her own once again passed through Emery's mind.

Lord Izta added, "Didn't you hear the Nephilim Elder mention that this old man is a grand magus of 8 paths? He has already mastered all eight laws."

The combat champion's words prompted the others to turn toward the sage. Their gazes were a mix of astonishment and admiration as they looked at Sage Fuxi for confirmation.

The sage only gave them a casual smile, not saying a word to confirm or deny.

Instead of using words, Sage Fuxi showed them his stats to allow them to understand better.

"This is how it looks."

[Fuxi]

[Grand Magus Realm - One Cosmos]

[Law of Water 8%]

[Law of Plant 6%]

[Law of Earth 8%]

[Law of Metal 7%]

[Law of Fire 8%]

[Law of Lightning 6%]

[Law of Wind 8%]

[Law of Ice 7%]

[Soul Force: 581]

[Battle Power: 752]

For each law comprehension, a person will have 10 soul force. And when one reaches 300 soul force or an accumulation of 30% law comprehension, one can start to harness the energy of the universe; the power of the cosmos.

600 soul force is required to achieve a grand magus dual cosmos, while 900 soul force is required to achieve triple cosmos. Finally, a 100% law comprehension is required to reach the highest echelon in the universe, a supreme magus.

Klea was excited as she asked "Senior, is this mean you would reach your second cosmos soon? Will you reach it in 20 years?"

The sage calmly answered "It almost impossible really, but if I want to guarantee a win against that Kronos, I would need to be"

Lord Izta added, "You all should know that developing multiple laws is much harder than focusing on one" The combat champion grinned at the sage as he continue "However, this doesn't necessarily mean that it's stronger. You should see mine now."

[Izta]

[Magus Realm - Full Moon]

[Law of Wind 31%]

[Law of Slaughter 6%]

[Soul Force: 370]

[Battle Power: 625]

"For the record, I passed the 300 soul force threshold 800 years ago. But I am still unable to break through the level of grand magus yet."

Emery and his friends were amazed to see such stats from their two seniors. He was particularly interested in knowing that the sage was walking the path of multiple laws at once. The sage should be able to guide his dual spirit core condition.

As for the others, Thrax was especially interested in seeing Lord Izta's Path of Slaughter.

The sage then calmly continued.

"We have 20 years. The divine technique would help give you a solid start in comprehension of law, added with the awakening scroll when you graduated from the academy, I'm confident that all of you have the capability to reach the magus level by then"

The sage turn serious when he added

"But if we want to win the duels, simply reaching the magus level won't be enough…You all can't just be any magus; you need to reach at least 15% law comprehension. That is what you all need to aim for!"

Lord Izta, however, appeared to shake his head a little when he heard Sage Fuxi's words.

"Normally, that number would take a few hundred years for someone with an A-rank talent aptitude. If you are fortunate, you might be able to reach it in 50 years or so, but to reach it in 20 years is kind of…"

Lord Izta's brows slightly furrowed. Sage Fuxi heard this, but he didn't comment and instead turned to look at Emery.

"For you Emery, Your path will be much more difficult. The [Dao Divine technique] appears to help your problem, and if you manage to synergize your dual-core, it's not just 15%, you could even reach 30% law comprehension. We will depend on you to defeat one of Kronos top 3, do you understand?"

30% means the sage was hoping for him to be able to match a peak full moon magus in 20 years. Emery nodded, showing the sage that he understood.

The sage then looked toward Thrax.

"To be frank, you have the least talent here. My [Nine Sun Divine Technique] will help you reach the Law of Fire in 20 years, but it certainly will not be enough for you to reach 15%, so…" Sage Fuxi then looked toward Izta and continued, "Izta, you will teach this young man to comprehend the Law of Slaughter."

Lord Izta was not slightly surprised when he heard this, a wicked smile soon replaced the previous look on his face as he looked at Thrax.

"Haha I doubt he can do it, but among these five, he is probably the only one who can"

Despite this, the Thracian was so excited he could not contain his grin.

Next, the sage turned to look at Chumo and said, "Unfortunately, I and Izta have no understanding of the Law of Darkness. Still, don't worry. I have another plan for you."

"Yes senior"

He then looked at the last two, Klea and Julian.

"I have the updated version of the [Nine Moon Divine Technique] and the [12 Divine Bell Technique], but I don't think that it will be enough, you two need to learn something else"

Hearing this, Julian began to feel anxious. "Please, senior, is there really nothing that we can do? I will do anything."

Sage Fuxi silently looked toward Julian and then to Klea with the same calm expression on his face, seeming to assess their reaction.

"There is actually one opportunity that will definitely be beneficial for one of you."

"What is it, senior?"

"One of you can become the leader of the faction and become an inner member of the Nephilims."

This suggestion quickly surprised everyone.

"It's the only logical choice we have at the moment. Someone ultimately needs to be the representative of our faction, and it would be most beneficial for one of you two to go. Moreover, as a privileged member or someone with an S-rank aptitude, I am sure that either one of you will be acceptable to them"

There was a sudden silence within the group as the sage continued.

"However, you need to keep in mind that while it will indeed be beneficial, there will also be an equal level of danger from becoming an inner member of the Nephilims. The choice is in your hands."

The sage then proceeded to explain what they would need to do and keep in mind if they chose to become the faction's representative.

When Sage Fuxi mentioned that they would need to spend quite a significant amount of time in the Nephilims' home world, Klea quickly lost interest. She would rather not be far apart from Emery for too long.

In the end, it was Julian who stepped up.

"I will do it," he said with determination.

Seeing this, the sage nodded with satisfaction. In truth, he already thought since the beginning that Julian would be a much better choice because of his leadership quality.

On the other hand, Klea had an S-rank aptitude, so it would be much easier for her to reach the 15% law comprehension.

However, Thrax quickly disagree

"No offense man, but I really think this is a bad idea, I will much prefer Emery or you Sage to be our leader"

To respond, Julian said "I know I am not the best candidate, but I really hope I can contribute more for us" His expression turn serious when he said "I swore that I would put the future of our planet above my self-interest"

Emery approached Julian and put his hand on the roman shoulder "I know you will"

Klea and Chumo follow, forcing the Thracian to agree.

"It's settled then, Julian will be the leader of the Earth faction."

After a little cheer of celebration, Lord Izta shouted, "All right! I don't have much time before I got sent back to the front lines, so let's start our training right away!"

Before they were about to start, Emery asked,

"Senior, should we not talk about the other members for the duels? We already have seven members, but what about the other three?"

Sage Fuxi stopped to think about it for a moment. He could help his student, the Abbot, reach the magus level in 20 years. As for the other candidates, the strongest would be Fjolrin the Asgardian descendant.

However, he still didn't know who should be the third one, and no one seemed to have any names either.

"Don't worry, only six of us need to win. We will have to make do with just nine participants."

Emery thought about the people that he knew on Earth. The first person that came to mind was Arthur, although it's still far for him to reach magus level, the man has the Excalibur sword.

Then his mind suddenly thought of a certain girl.

"I wonder if she is awakened by now"
