According to the information in his mind, Lin Ruo knew that after Klein advanced to Magician, his connection with the other party deepened further. Specifically, they gained an emergency rescue function. When one of them was on the verge of death, about to kick the bucket, they could choose to drag the other party over or go to rescue themselves.

This kind of rescue ignores spatial distance. As long as it's activated, even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they can pull the other party to their side, or directly jump through space to fight. It's quite unscientific, but very mystical. The only flaw is that it can only be activated when life is on the line, which made Lin Ruo exclaim, 'Good heavens!'

Good heavens! Just for this emergency rescue function, he wouldn't believe that the bond between him and Klein wasn't man-made!

He just didn't know what the principle behind it was... Lin Ruo complained, pondered, and then checked the changes in his own Beyonder power.

The changes in his Beyonder power were not small. On one hand, the upper limit had increased again. Although Lin Ruo was disappointed that he still couldn't truly simulate the abilities of an angel, the time he could simulate Sequence 3 had been extended a lot. Now, in a full mana state, he could last for about a minute.

This wasn't even the most surprising thing for Lin Ruo. What surprised him the most was that his [Truth] ability had changed for the first time.

Originally, [Truth] could only magnify the possibility of something, but now Truth had an additional branch ability: [Truth · Subversion].

This ability was somewhat similar to the Snake of Mercury's fate restart. After use, it could negate something that had already happened. The current usage limit was ten seconds, meaning it could negate something that happened within ten seconds. The greater the impact of the event, the harder it was to negate; the smaller the impact, the easier it was to negate.

For example, with Lin Ruo's current state, if an Adam poured the Seer potion down his throat right in front of him, it would be almost impossible for Lin Ruo to negate it, even if he tried.

The flaw of this ability was that the negated event could still happen again. For example, if he negated someone's death and succeeded, if he couldn't save the other person within ten seconds, they would still die. Moreover, the negated person would not lose the memory of what had already happened, which was similar to a restart.

But even so, this skill was heaven-defying enough, almost like a pseudo-rewind skill. If used well, it could do a lot of things.

As expected, advancing in sequence was just for fun; to really improve combat power, you still had to look at Beyonder abilities!

Lin Ruo's smile curled up, and he was in a great mood, looking at Klein as if he were looking at a great treasure.

Who could resist having their Beyonder power upgraded to 'Temptation'!

No one!

He was determined to cultivate this Lord of the Mysteries!

Klein naturally didn't know what Lin Ruo was thinking. At this moment, he was nervously waiting for the residual effects of the Magician potion to subside.

This wait lasted for five or six minutes before the changes on Klein's body finally subsided, and his whole person returned to a normal state.

This made Klein breathe a sigh of relief. After waiting for another ten seconds, he began to move his body and feel the changes that the potion had brought him.

Just like the name 'Magician,' Klein could clearly feel that his hands had become more flexible than before, and his movements were also more agile, fully possessing the potential to become a top magician.

In addition to the changes in his body, the Magician also brought Klein a lot of abilities, mainly nine types: 'Damage Transfer,' 'Flame Jump,' 'Air Bullet,' 'Paper Figurine Substitute,' 'Manipulate Flames,' 'Create Illusions,' 'False Underwater Breathing,' 'Bone Softening,' and finally, 'Draw Paper as Weapon.'

Among these, the three abilities that Klein valued and liked the most were naturally the first three. As early as the first stage of special training, Klein was very envious of the three abilities 'Damage Transfer,' 'Flame Jump,' and 'Air Bullet.' Now, it could be considered a wish come true.

In addition to these nine abilities, the 'Magician' brought Klein the skill of quick spellcasting. Now, he could even cast corresponding spells or spell-like abilities with just a simple action, without needing to chant or infuse spirituality.

As for the minor tricks that the Magician potion brought to Klein besides these highlights, there was no need to mention them.

It could be said that the abilities that the 'Magician' potion brought to Klein were just like its appearance: flashy, but very practical, making Klein very satisfied.

"How does it feel to become Sequence 7?" Lin Ruo, who had been observing Klein, asked with a smile after confirming that the other party's condition was fine.

"Very good." Klein was also in a good mood, and after thinking of something, he said, "However, the residual effects of the potion are greater than I imagined. Advancing to Sequence 7 is already like this. No wonder from Sequence 5 onwards, the assistance of a ritual is needed to advance."

Although he hadn't obtained the subsequent potion formulas yet, Klein knew that Sequence 6 to Sequence 5 required ritual assistance. After all, Lin Ruo had mentioned it in class, so Klein knew that the existence of rituals was a kind of neutralization, a kind of balance, to help Beyonders stabilize their own state, reduce the impact of the potion, and reduce the risk of losing control.

"Actually, if you're lucky enough, you can directly advance by swallowing the characteristics, even without a ritual," Lin Ruo said with a smile, joking while also mentioning a certain sea serpent.

"That's the kind of treatment only people who saved the galaxy in their previous life can get!" Klein complained.

Lin Ruo smiled, then slowly took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and slowly said, "Compared to this, how about understanding the Sequence 6 Faceless recipe?"

Klein's smile froze. Although he was quite distressed, he still asked, "How much?"

"The market price of a normal Sequence 6 potion recipe is 1500 to 2000 pounds. Of course, it's normal for someone with a dark heart to ask you for 2500 pounds..." Lin Ruo said unhurriedly, looking at Klein's increasingly painful expression, and said, "But who told me to be your teacher? Of course, I'll sell it to you at the lowest price. And 1500 pounds discounted by half is only a mere 750 pounds. Very cheap, right?"

Klein nodded. He knew that Lin Ruo's price was already very conscientious. He couldn't just give it away for free. Even if they were teacher and student, there was no reason for that. He immediately said, "Give me the account number, and I'll transfer the money to you later."

"Okay!" Lin Ruo nodded, took out a pen, and wrote a string of numbers on the back of the paper with the recipe, handing it to Klein.

Klein quickly took the paper, opened it, and began to read the contents. Lin Ruo then thought of something and said, "By the way, did you receive Dunn's letter?"

"I received it." Klein, who had already memorized the recipe, also had a subtle expression when he heard this, and said, "Captain invited me in the letter to be his best man, on the fifteenth of next month... To be honest, I really didn't expect his efficiency to be so fast. I originally thought that with the captain's personality, even with Ms. Daly's stimulation, he would have to wait a few more months before getting married."

"Indeed." Lin Ruo nodded, expressing his agreement, and smiled, "But all in all, it's not a bad thing, is it? They can be considered as having a happy ending!"

Klein's mood improved a bit when he heard this, and he asked curiously, "Lin Ruo, are you going to be the officiant at that time?" He still remembered Daly's previous invitation to Lin Ruo.

"Of course!" Lin Ruo nodded, glanced at the clock, and it was almost three o'clock.

It was almost the Tarot Gathering time, and he didn't know if Little Sun could bring him any surprises...

Lin Ruo was slightly expectant in his heart.
