Gravity Mage with Level-Up System Chapter 1889: New benefits of the environment

Verdantwood Capital
Upon reaching the designated room, I utilized the key to gain entry. While the system provided no immediate alerts, the palpable, formidable presences in adjacent chambers could not be ignored.
Although concealed, their power was undeniable, confirming the staff's prior assertions regarding the influx of participants for the tournament.
These powerful emanations suggested that the cultivators within were no less than Supreme Wizards, with at least one such presence detected in every occupied room.
Activating the lights, I illuminated the spacious and well-furnished interior, which also featured a balcony overlooking the surroundings.
A prompt scan using the system's probe function yielded negative results, indicating no immediate threats within the room.
Perhaps the tournament ambiance fostered a sense of security, deterring any malicious actions.
With numerous powerful individuals residing at the hotel, any disturbances would undoubtedly harm its reputation and business, making such actions unlikely.
Composing myself, I considered the opportune moment to deploy the Zero Puppet. However, apprehension lingered regarding the true nature of this capital.
The sight of the magnificent floating palace, seemingly a place of great importance, sparked caution.
I recalled a past incident in a vast nation where a potent Supreme Artifact was employed to track my location. It was plausible that similar protective measures were in place here.
Consequently, I abandoned the idea of utilizing the Zero Puppet’s assistance.
....
Outside,
The scar-faced wizard stood in contemplation, unwilling to provoke trouble within such a charged environment. He was acutely aware of the numerous wizards visiting the capital.
Among them were formidable figures, whose intense gazes could be felt emanating from the nearby windows.
Without any sign of remorse, the scar-faced wizard departed, recognizing that lingering could invite unwanted attention.
Such trouble could originate from either the hotel's esteemed guests or the influential Redwood Family.
Once he was out of sight, numerous hotel windows were opened, with occupants observing the area where the scar-faced man had stood.
Had he remained, the scar-faced man would have been terrified to realize the caliber of individuals currently gracing the capital with their presence.
The scar-faced man then rejoined his companions at the airship station, where they eagerly awaited his report.
Upon his arrival, his friends immediately inquired about the masked individual, but the scar-faced man’s demeanor was grim.
"Give me a moment," the scar-faced man requested.
His companions, sensing his need for a brief pause, subdued their urgency.
The lean-physique wizard intently observed, while the brown-haired man remained guarded, suspecting potential deception.
"I pursued the masked man to the Redwood Hotel," the scar-faced man finally disclosed.
A collective gasp arose.
The revelation brought forth expressions of grave concern, as the Redwood Hotel was no mere establishment but a business operated by a formidable family.
The lean-physique wizard’s countenance shifted. "Did you instigate any conflict there?"
He harbored anxieties about the severe repercussions should the scar-faced wizard have precipitated any issues.
The brown-haired man knitted his brows, reluctant to offend such a powerful entity, known for its numerous Magic Lords.
"Cough!" The scar-faced wizard cleared his throat.
"I understand your concerns. Let me assure you: I caused no trouble whatsoever."
A collective sigh of relief swept through the group; their immediate safety was assured.
"The masked individual is staying at that hotel. We are in no position to act against him," the scar-faced man stated.
His companions exchanged surprised glances. Direct confrontation near the hotel was impossible, as it was guarded by its own formidable wizards.
"Very well, let us abandon this pursuit. We can identify alternative targets," proposed the middle-aged man with brown hair.
The rest readily concurred with his suggestion.
...
The following morning,
I awoke with the dawn and commenced my daily routine immediately after rising.
My morning rituals concluded after an hour. The new environment appeared promising, and the ambient mana density encouraged me to engage in cultivation.
[Ding! A forbidden Wizard passed by the room.]
Suddenly, the system’s voice resonated within my mind.
My heart leaped, and I momentarily recalled the presence of other guests within the hotel.
It was conceivable that additional Forbidden Wizards were housed within the hotel's premises. Thus, I phased into the Gregor Mansion.
Within the grand hall, I assumed a cross-legged position on the floor. Retrieving several top-grade mana stones, I held them firmly.
Closing my eyes, I initiated the Gravity Ark Mental Method. Gradually, a novel and potent gravity mana began to flow towards me.
The mana was both abundant and pure. Slowly, the gravity mana particles integrated into my being, and I commenced circulating them internally.
As the gravity mana coursed through my body, its power became evident. After a single cycle, the mana entered the mana core space.
Within this core, the gravity mana gravitated towards the central space, where the mana core eagerly absorbed it.
With that observation, the repetition of the process was continued by me. The body and mana core were being fortified by the steadfast flow of gravity mana. As moments elapsed, a subtle augmentation in my physical prowess became apparent. Time marched onward. Upon sensing the pinnacle of my current capacity, my focus was redirected towards the intricate comprehension of the gravity rule's power. With the passage of time, a profound sense of tranquility settled within my heart and mind, requiring minimal exertion from my end. This unexpected development evoked considerable astonishment. The nebulous inquiries and ambiguous uncertainties that had previously clouded my thoughts started to dissipate. My grasp of the gravity power deepened. Concurrently, the potent magic rules within the mana core and the physical form underwent progressive reinforcement. The skeletal structure bore intricate, concealed runes across its entirety, experiencing continuous enhancement. Several hours later, My eyes fluttered open, their focus settling upon my own physical form. Minute impurities had been purged from my body. A raised eyebrow conveyed my surprise. It had been an extended period since this had occurred. Perhaps the novel surroundings were the catalyst.
