Chapter 1292 1292. The Exalted Rank

So, Jack cleared stage 84 another nine times. And since he had many challenge points, he also cleared stage 83 another nine times. Adding the 3,300 glory points he originally had, he now had 17,046 glory points in his League of Champions Badge.

He happily went to the exchange counter to see what he could get with these glory points.

He could challenge the lower stages to collect more glory points but he didn’t want to spend too long time here. He still wanted to go to the Order of Magi after this. He was only willing to spend one day for these league factions. He didn’t want to delay his plan of leaving for the Council of Charites tomorrow.

After opening the exchange list, Jack immediately scrolled down directly to the exchange list available for Praefectrus. Jack was disheartened. Most of the items on this list were above 10,000 glory points, some even reach as high as 20,000 glory points. And here he was thinking his 17,046 glory points were a lot. He could only exchange one item from this list.𝑛𝒪𝑽𝑬𝑙𝗇𝑒xt.𝕔𝑜𝓂

He saw two companion tokens on the list. One summoned a level 80 rare elite melee warrior, and the other one summoned a level 60 mythical-grade melee warrior. Both of these companion tokens cost 20,000 glory points.

After briefly studying the list, Jack chose a technique book for the Brave Dancer class. The book cost 12,000 glory points. The skill contained within the book was called Field of Swords. It was an AOE skill that dealt large damage to a large area around him.

Since most of his skills were already maxed, he figured he should collect more skills. So, he went to the list for the Angusticlavian and chose one technique book there. This book also contained a skill for Brave Dancer. The skill’s name was Ghost Sword. It was a melee skill that bypassed all defenses. The technique book cost 4,500 glory points.

Jack didn’t immediately learn the skills. He contacted Jeanny and informed her that he would be handing these technique books for her to copy first. He would meet her later in the evening. Jeanny also hadn’t left for the Council of Elpo, which was the divine faction for God of Hope. Like Jack, she had many things to take care of in the guild before she could leave.

Coming out from the League of Champions, Jack headed to the Order of Magi.

After a quick greeting with young Janus, Jack went through the portal and arrived at the challenge plaza. He entered the obelisk for stage 80.

He used the same tactic as during the challenges in the League of Champions. He used the Lightning God Barrage and Judgement of Past Kings to cull the weak enemies, followed up with Strength of Hope for the rest.

After clearing stage 80, he was promoted to the rank of Exalted and received 10,000 knowledge points.

“Congratulations on being the first outworlder to become the Exalted rank,” said the other young Janus overseeing the challenge plaza.

“No reward for me being the first one?” Jack asked.

Janus simply gave Jack a smile for a reply.

“Are you interested in becoming an executive of this faction?” Janus gave Jack the same offer as Gruff.

“No, thanks. I barely have any time for myself with my current duties,” Jack declined and entered the next obelisk.

When he cleared stage 81, the knowledge points he received were also doubled.

At stage 85, there were similarly two mythical-grade opponents to deal with. He tried to separate the two by using Time Realm. With good positioning, the Time Realm he conjured had its edge placed in between the two mythical grades, effectively splitting them apart.

It would be ideal if he could also keep the rare elites outside and dealt with only one mythical grade opponent, but it was impossible to create such an opportunity with all the opponents moving haphazardly. Some rare elites ended up inside his Time Realm’s cage together with the one mythical-grade opponent.

He tried to finish this one mythical grade inside his Time Realm, but he couldn’t do it fast enough. The other enemies outside the Time Realm broke the barrier and entered before Jack could even reduce the mythical grade’s HP to half. His damage output was lacking with only his Time Sage spells.

In the end, he failed to clear stage 85 as he did in the League of Champions. He repeated stage 84 another nine times. When he came out, he tried again to enter for the eleventh time. He could enter. The Honorary Magi title gave him five extra times to reenter conquered stages. Adding his Exalted rank, he could enter a total of fifteen times instead of ten.

He repeated stage 83 another fourteenth time. With his previously stocked 2,214 knowledge points, he got a total of 17,630 after the endeavors.

He went to the exchange list and saw that the items within the Exalted section similarly needed over 10,000 knowledge points to exchange. This was a mirror faction to the League of Champions, after all, so it wasn’t strange.

There were even crystals in the list here that provided special classes for classes that branched from Mage. They were all normal special classes, though. These special classes had a limited quantity of them. The quantity would decrease when someone exchanged these crystals. These crystals were among the most expensive items on the list for Exalted.

Jack thought about buying one of the crystals for Jeanny to copy for their guild members. But after some internal struggle, he decided he wasn’t that altruistic. He prioritized getting items that he could use, which were spells.

There were plenty of spells to choose from the list. There were telekinesis, invisibility, and another spell he was interested in after browsing was an offensive spell called Mana Bombs. This spell was like the weakened version of his Lightning God Barrage. He wanted all of them, but he only had enough knowledge points to choose one for now.

He did need to increase the offensive capability of his Time Sage class to better beat this faction’s challenge stages, but he decided the other two spells provided better versatility in dealing with the problems in the outside world.

After a long thought, he finally chose Invisibility which cost 13,000 knowledge points.

He then went back to the exchange list for the Renowned rank and bought the Lightning Mine he had been eyeing. This Lightning Mine could be fused with his Lightning Strike spell to become a different spell. This Lightning Mine cost 3,700 knowledge points.

With only 930 knowledge points left in his Order of Magi Badge, he left the place and used the Guild Return Scroll to teleport to Heavenly Citadel.
