First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 298: Post-Cultivation Clarity

He let out a soft, satisfied exhale, releasing the subtle tension accumulated from the intense night-long cultivation session.

Floating energetically before him, Lumi’s bright and cheerful system screen immediately popped into view, beaming with excitement as her voice chimed with delight.

[Good morning, Master! You’ve spent around eight hours cultivating! That’s such incredible dedication. (≧◡≦)]

Orion glanced around the softly illuminated room, slightly surprised that the entire night had quietly slipped by without him noticing.

Smiling faintly, he gracefully stood up, stretching his limbs leisurely, feeling refreshed rather than exhausted.

’That was a nice session. Feels like I’ll be broke soon from the use of the Limitless Ascension Field if I did some long sessions,’ Orion remarked with a helpless smile, as he had used 800 SP out of the 14932that he had.

But feeling the three pristine Affinity Runes and spells floating in his SoC, he let out a satisfied smile. ’But it was well worth it,’ he said quietly, lightly rotating his shoulders and relaxing his muscles.

Lumi eagerly bounced up and down on her virtual screen, unable to hide her excitement. Her voice radiated genuine admiration and pride.

[Yess!! I still can’t believe how much you accomplished in a single session! (つ≧▽≦)つ You’ve not only successfully recreated your Affinity Runes and regained your spells, but you even managed to improve upon their structures!]

Orion chuckled softly, a warm feeling of achievement blossoming in his chest at Lumi’s enthusiastic praise.

Stepping over to his spacious bed, he sank comfortably into the soft mattress, stretching out with a deep, contented sigh. He placed an arm beneath his head, gazing calmly toward the ceiling as he quietly recounted the night’s significant breakthroughs.

’I managed to fully recreate three Fire Spells, four Wood Spells, and four Thunder Spells. Each of them is at the peak of Tier Three, meticulously optimized with nine Primary Runes. With the new enhancements to my Mana Channels and Elemental Affinity grade, these spells should now rival or even surpass higher-tier spells in raw power.’

Lumi eagerly hovered closer, nodding vigorously to Orion’s assessment. Her tone was filled with absolute confidence and enthusiasm.

[Exactly, Master! Your extremely high affinity grade plays a huge part in your ability to refine and master these spells so quickly. Even if you’re just improving upon the existing ones, this alone is already an enormous leap forward!]

Orion smiled gently at Lumi’s words, acknowledging her point with a nod. ’You’re right, Lumi. The recent changes in my Mana Channels and the increased clarity from the Limitless Ascension Field certainly made a big difference.’

They continued conversing softly, discussing the intricate details of the spells Orion had refined, delving into the nuances of how each rune interacted with his now significantly improved internal mana pathways.

He shared his thoughts and ideas on further enhancing spellcasting efficiency and control, while Lumi listened attentively, offering small insights and cheerful encouragement.

Their gentle, relaxed chatter filled the tranquil early-morning atmosphere with a sense of comfortable intimacy and calm warmth.

Orion felt a moment of genuine peace ever since waking up, allowing himself to fully enjoy the quiet companionship Lumi provided.

Suddenly, the soft sound of gentle knocking resonated at the door, immediately capturing Orion’s attention.

Familiar, cheerful voices followed right after, breaking through the calm silence with a playful tone.

"M-Master, are you awake? You s-should wake up soon!" Fiora’s gentle, lively voice called out sweetly, lightly muffled by the door.

"Good morning, Master!" Rina’s voice echoed warmly, filled with affection. "Are you awake yet?"

Orion chuckled softly at the sound of Fiora’s sweet voice and Rina’s warm greeting. Rising leisurely from his comfortable position on the bed, he replied gently toward the door, "Yes, Fiora, Rina, I’m awake. I’ll be out in a minute."

Upon entering the dining hall, he found Eldric and Selene already seated comfortably at the grand dining table.

Eldric held a steaming cup of tea, occasionally sipping calmly as he perused through some papers, while Selene, graceful and composed, watched affectionately as Orion entered the room.

"Good morning, Grandpa, Grandma," Orion greeted with a warm smile, sitting down beside them.

The delicious aroma of freshly prepared breakfast filled the air, making him realize how hungry his intense night-long cultivation had left him.

Selene’s gentle eyes immediately filled with warmth and concern as she placed a comforting hand lightly upon his shoulder. Softly and cautiously, she asked, "Did you drink the elixir, Orion? How were the effects? Are you better now?"

Orion responded gently, his dual-colored eyes shining with genuine gratitude and reassurance. "Yes, Grandma, the elixir was amazing. It healed my Mana Channels completely. They’re now perfectly fine—even stronger and more stable than before. You don’t need to worry anymore."

Selene visibly relaxed, relief spreading across her elegant features. Her voice remained soft and affectionate as she smiled gently. "Thank goodness. I was worried all night whether the elixir would be enough to fully heal your Mana Channels."

Eldric, setting his cup aside, nodded thoughtfully, clearly satisfied by Orion’s improvement. However, his brow furrowed slightly with mild frustration as he explained, "I tried searching thoroughly for something to heal your Sea of Consciousness, but treasures capable of healing such deep spiritual injuries are simply too rare. There’s absolutely nothing available in this region."

Orion quickly shook his head, offering Eldric a calm, reassuring smile. "Don’t worry about it, Grandpa. What you’ve done is already more than enough. With my Mana Channels restored, I should be able to find a way to heal my Sea of Consciousness on my own soon enough."

Eldric studied Orion carefully for a moment before exhaling softly, nodding in acceptance. "I trust you’ll manage, lad. But remember, don’t push yourself too hard. Your spiritual foundation is delicate right now."

Orion chuckled lightly, his eyes filling with quiet confidence and reassurance. "I know, Grandpa. I’ll be careful."

They continued sharing a comfortable, leisurely breakfast together, their conversation turning lighter and warmer as they enjoyed the tranquil family atmosphere.

Eventually, Orion politely excused himself from the table, thanking both Eldric and Selene warmly for the meal. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Leaving the dining hall, Orion stepped out into the mansion’s lush, serene garden, inhaling deeply as the fresh morning breeze gently brushed against his skin.

Sunlight poured softly through the emerald leaves, painting the pathways with gentle golden hues.

Sitting comfortably on a nearby bench beneath the shade of an ancient oak tree were Edgar and Lucan. Noticing Orion’s arrival, the two men quickly rose to their feet respectfully, greeting him warmly.

"Good morning, Young Master!" Edgar spoke calmly, his demeanor always steady and composed.

Lucan, meanwhile, grinned mischievously, clearly amused as he teased lightly, "Young Master, you really duped Sir Edgar yesterday. He waited patiently until nightfall, but you never showed up for training, haha."

Edgar shook his head helplessly, smiling slightly with a good-natured sigh. "Indeed, Young Master. This brat here keeps making fun of me about it."

Orion chuckled openly at their friendly banter, his expression both apologetic and amused. "I’m truly sorry, Uncle Edgar. My cultivation session took much longer than I anticipated, and by the time I finished, it was already morning."

Edgar nodded understandingly, his eyes filled with subtle admiration. "Your dedication to cultivation is admirable, Young Master. There’s no need to apologize for focusing on strengthening yourself."

Lucan shrugged lightly, still smiling playfully. "See, Sir Edgar is too forgiving, Young Master. If it were me, I’d have insisted you make it up with double training today."

Orion laughed gently, shaking his head slightly. "Perhaps I would have done it, but today my club members will be arriving here for training."
