Sarah Mercer, who was expected to finish first, was the first to leave the Fuller family's training room.

Sarah took the opportunity to get stronger and reached the next level, becoming the family's third 4th stage magician!

Onyx felt her cultivation finish stabilizing at the beginning of the 4th stage before she left the family's large cultivation room.

When Sarah left, several 3rd stage guards congratulated her advancement, many of them looking forward to the day they would have such an opportunity.

Most of them were only Low-level Mages, but they all received constant opportunities in the Fuller family. Consequently, when one of them advanced, they were happy for that person, but also for themselves, because sooner or later, it would be their turn.

Since the creation of the Fuller family, there has not been a single case of a soldier being abandoned or left aside. Everyone received their opportunities according to their position, level, and merit!

Sarah was grateful for the many comments and was soon in the common area of the estate, determined to wait for the rest of the staff.

'I don't know how long Vicente will take, but the others should end their seclusions soon.' She thought to herself as she sat down on a sofa in the living area of the residence.

'Eve will be the next to finish and should be out of the cultivation room in the next few hours. As for the others, it might take them another day or two to finish their seclusion. The amount of vampire blood they got was greater than ours.' She pondered.

Just as she had thought, in the next two hours, Eve would finish her seclusion, leaving the family's cultivation room much stronger and closer to her advancement to the 4th stage.

She didn't advance, as she was much weaker than Sarah and also had inferior talent. Still, she had reached the middle of a High-level Mage level, enough to see herself at the beginning of the 4th stage in the not-too-distant future.

When she came across the black-haired woman in the living area of this headquarters, Eve immediately congratulated Sarah before returning to attend to the affairs of this residence.

Nina was there and would soon meet up with the two of them, happy for the improvements of the family members.

She had nothing to do these last few days and couldn't leave the house until her brother had finished cultivating. As such, she had been studying most of her time, with Newton coming to the property every day.

Through Nina, Eve discovered how the city was in the midst of the seclusion of the Fuller family specialists.

Although there was a long way to go to recover from the devastation caused by the previous battle, the city was rapidly improving.

The sewage system had already been re-established, while there were no more leaks in the city's drinking water pipeline network.

The streets were being repaired, while the city's best and most important properties were rapidly gaining their old looks.

The common people, despite their losses in the previous battle, were by no means unhappy. Many of them had lost their homes or been injured, but the local forces would build their homes again. What's more, in order to rebuild the city, many people were being hired to be part of the group repairing the many local problems.

That was an earning opportunity for many families!

Eve was happy to hear this from Nina because a happy population was the most conducive to the growth of local forces and the peaceful development of plans like theirs.

...

Two more days after Eve and Sarah's cultivation sessions ended, most of the other Mages cultivating on the Fuller estate for vampire blood finished what they had been doing for the last few days.

Of Nova, Rory, Casey, Benson, and Bart, the Basilisk was the only one who hadn't woken up yet and was sleeping in the backyard of the Fuller estate.

As for Nova, Rory, Casey, and Benson, they had awakened, and one of them had obtained a new advancement!

Nova and Casey had the same level of talent as Rory. However, they were older than the young redhead, having cultivated mana for years before having the chance to walk the magical journey alongside Vicente.

Rory's case was different. Since his Awakening, he has been walking his magical journey alongside Vicente, having had his magical foundation constantly stimulated by his friend's problems and opportunities.

The younger someone was, the easier it was for them to get the best of their resources and thus advance more quickly.

That day, he advanced to the 4th stage, becoming the fourth Sovereign of the family!

But Nova, Casey, and Benson had progressed a lot with the vampire blood they had received from Vicente.

Nova and Casey were not old, being only 3 to 6 years older than Rory and Vicente. So their difference from Vice's red-haired friend hadn't been great, and they were both very close to the 4th stage.

Even though they were in the weak Seidel Kingdom, especially the Scott Province, they could reach the 4th stage in that place even if they only meditated for the next months without using special resources!

It might take a year or two, but because of that blood, they would reach the beginning of the 4th stage in such a period!

As for Benson, he was already an old man and had the least talent among the High-level Mages who received this opportunity from Vicente. As such, he was the furthest away from the 4th stage.

However, he didn't waste the opportunity and was definitely closer to the 4th stage than ever before.

If his chances before were slim of him reaching the 4th stage before the calamity scheduled to happen after Nina's Awakening, then now his chances were good enough for him to hope.

Anyway, soon after Benson left the family's cultivation room, everyone expected that it would take a few more days for Bart to finish his cultivation before Vicente finished his meditation.

However, to everyone's surprise, Vicente finished his cultivation sooner than expected, considering that he had twice as much vampire blood to process as Rory's group.

By the end of the 5th afternoon since the incident with the 3rd stage vampire, the whole of Saltstar City trembled as Vicente advanced to the end of the 4th stage, with him becoming a Sky Sovereign!
