Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over a month had passed since Tyr arrived at the Sword Prison.
Inside his dormitory, Tyr sat cross-legged on his bed, the surrounding magic power flowing into his body with every breath he took.
After circulating through his body, the energy ultimately gathered in the Magic Circle at his heart.
Today, Tyr's cultivation of magic power at the First Circle had reached its peak; he could break through to the Second Circle at any moment.
However, he was in no hurry to advance to the Second Circle. Instead, he was attempting to cultivate another form of power.
Holy Power.
It was common knowledge that most transcendent talents were inherited through bloodlines.
His veins carried not only the bloodline of House Callis but also the direct bloodline of the Aglaia family.
Therefore, he had a bold idea.
He would cultivate Holy Power alongside his magic power.
In Tyr's view, while the magic power of House Callis was exceptionally strong, it was far too extreme.
It completely abandoned all other functions of magic power, putting all its points into attack power. It was purely offensive with absolutely no defense.
Its advantages were massive, but its shortcomings were equally fatal.
Holy Power, on the other hand, although inferior to House Callis's magic power in terms of raw combat strength, possessed both defensive and healing capabilities.
If he could cultivate both types of magic power simultaneously, he could preserve the advantages of House Callis's magic power while covering its weaknesses, achieving high offense, high defense, and rapid recovery all at once.
However, this was no easy task. When Tyr had received the cultivation method for the Aglaia family's Holy Power from his mother, he had been warned that magic powers of different attributes could not be cultivated together.
At its core, Holy Power was still a form of magic power.
In the ancient past, it wasn't called Holy Power, but rather white magic power.
It received this name because it mutually countered the black magic power wielded by the dark mages who worshiped the Abyss race.
Among all forms of white magic power, that of the Aglaia family was exceptionally potent.
In the subsequent great war against the Abyss race, the Aglaia family played a pivotal role.
Furthermore, because the ancestor of the Aglaia family had ascended to a Demigod, and their family's magic power was a sacred golden color, their magic power was set apart from other white magic powers and renamed Holy Power.
Naturally, the Aglaia family also earned the title of the Holy Family.
Since ancient times, many had attempted to combine the advantages of multiple types of magic power, but all had ultimately ended in failure.
Nevertheless, Tyr wanted to try. Using a perspective that did not belong to this world, he aimed to achieve the feat of cultivating two magic powers together.
Closing his eyes, slightly tucking his chin, letting his shoulders sink naturally, and relaxing his chest, Tyr began to practice the meditation method he had received from his mother.
With every breath, Tyr could feel a new stream of magic power gathering between his brows.
Through internal inspection, he could see that this magic power was golden.
This meant that the first step of Tyr's magic cultivation was complete: magic gathering.
This step was related to the body's magic attribute affinity. When transcendents cultivated magic power, they could only absorb magic that aligned with their own attributes.
In most cases, a person's body had affinity for more than one magic attribute. However, because each person could only use one type of magic power, people usually chose the attribute with which they had the highest affinity.
After all, the higher the affinity, the faster the cultivation speed, the higher the realm they could reach in the future, and the more powerful their techniques would be.
In this regard, nobles held a massive advantage over commoners.
This was because noble families typically possessed devices to test magic attribute affinity, allowing them to choose the attribute with which they had the highest affinity for their cultivation.
Commoners, on the other hand, could only make a random choice during their first cultivation. If they were lucky enough to choose an attribute with high affinity, they might achieve some success in the future.
Those with poor luck who chose the wrong attribute might end up living a life of frustration and regret.
However, gathering magic power was only the beginning. To truly become a transcendent, one had to retain the magic power within their body and condense it into a Circle.
As for the location where the Circle was condensed, there was no strict requirement.
However, grand nobles almost always condensed their Magic Circle within their heart. This was because the Magic Circle itself was a weakness; if it shattered, one's cultivation realm would dissipate.
Condensing the Magic Circle in the heart was equivalent to combining two weaknesses into one.
But magic power was by no means a gentle energy. If it went out of control during the condensation process, it could easily blow the heart to pieces.
The grand nobles who were capable of condensing their Magic Circles in their hearts had generally devised unique methods to protect the heart from injury even if the condensation failed.
Naturally, just like cultivation techniques, these were closely guarded secrets.
Unless one was a direct bloodline descendant, they could never obtain them.
Once the Holy Power between his brows had accumulated to a certain amount, Tyr began to carefully guide it toward his heart.
There, a greenish-blue Magic Circle floated quietly.
What came next was the most difficult part: how to integrate the Holy Power into his existing Magic Circle.
Magic powers of different attributes naturally repelled each other. If forced together, it could easily cause the Magic Circle to collapse.
After guiding the Holy Power to his heart, Tyr did not rush to merge the two magic powers. Instead, he began to visualize the Taiji diagram in his mind.
【The Dao produces One, One produces Two, Two produces Three, Three produces all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, blending their qi to achieve harmony.】
【Taiji is born from Wuji; it is the source of movement and stillness, and the mother of yin and yang.】
As the theories of Taiji he had studied in his past life echoed in his mind, a slowly rotating phantom of a Taiji diagram gradually emerged in Tyr's mind.
With the passage of time, the image of the Taiji diagram became increasingly clear in his mind.
Eventually, it stood before him as if it were real, no longer a mere figment of his imagination.
Right at that moment, Tyr sensed that the two magic powers in his heart began to slip from his control, starting to move on their own.
He did not panic. Instead, he continued to visualize the Taiji diagram, letting all the theories of Taiji and the mutual generation of yin and yang flow through his mind.
Gradually, the two magic powers in his heart began to blend, intertwining with each other yet remaining distinctly separate.
At the same time, a faint glow shimmered on the surface of Tyr's body. The left half of his body shone with a sharp, greenish-blue light, while the right half radiated a sacred golden aura.
Half greenish-blue and half brilliant gold, the contrast made Tyr look like a deity.
In the dormitory, Avia watched everything happening to Tyr in utter astonishment.
“Two types of magic power?”
And by the looks of it, Young Master Tyr was about to succeed.
