at the same time.
The fourth floor of the City of Elements, the most luxurious eastern district, is a vast manor.
Central Castle, top floor room.
The room was spacious and quiet, with elemental lamps worth thousands of magic stones emitting a soft glow from the ceiling. The floor-to-ceiling windows were made of a single piece of jade-like glass, a top-tier material of the first ring, while several magic plants, nearly of the second ring, emitted a faint fragrance.
There were three people in the room, yet the air was completely silent!
Finally, the silence was broken.
Cassian, who was sitting behind a table, looked up at the defiant Audrey and said, "Audrey, you've gone too far this time. You actually gave away the resources you used to advance to another unfamiliar wizard."
“Father, Ian isn’t some unfamiliar wizard. I think he has the potential,” Audrey retorted, biting her lip.
"That's a resource worth at least twenty or thirty thousand, which is no small sum for the Chamber of Commerce. Sister, you've really gone too far this time."
Another blond wizard standing nearby looked heartbroken.
"Fischer, what are you pretending for? It's none of your business how I use my resources!" Audrey turned around and snorted coldly, dissatisfied.
“Father, you heard it too. I think you really should cut back on the resources she receives regularly. If these resources could create value for me, at least they wouldn’t be wasted like this,” Fisher retorted.
Cassian rubbed his temples, feeling a bit annoyed as well.
He wasn't worried about the resources themselves, but rather that his daughter was being scammed and was still paying for it.
"I've heard about Ian, the one you mentioned. He's a wizard with first-rate talent, but he hasn't become Kieran's student yet and could be eliminated at any time."
A few seconds later, he spoke calmly.
Once eliminated, he would be just an ordinary wizard, at least he felt unworthy of his daughter.
"That's right, that's right."
Fisher, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
"He's different." Audrey's body trembled slightly as she tried to refute him, but she knew she couldn't provide any valid proof.
But next second.
She only felt the communication crystal vibrate; this was a specially set reminder.
Aside from her father, she only set one other person in her life: Ian.
She pursed her lips and sensed the message; there were only a few words inside, but they instantly invigorated her.
"I've advanced to the next level and successfully become an apprentice!"
A smile instantly appeared on her face, and her head, which had been lowered, was raised again.
Cassian immediately looked displeased.
Needless to say, he knew it was Ian again.
Just as he was about to speak, Audrey spoke up, her voice crisp and clear: "Father, Ian has advanced to the first level and successfully become an apprentice!"
His open mouth closed instantly.
"You've advanced to the next level and become an apprentice?"
He was stunned for a moment. If that was the case, then it was completely different. It seemed that even mentioning the name made him feel much more comfortable.
Kieran's students.
Regardless, it can be described as excellent and outstanding.
At least in this City of Elements, he is definitely a person with real potential. If Audrey knew such a wizard, it would be alright.
"Didn't you sign a sponsorship agreement for Ian before? You can sponsor him a bit more; you can take charge of that."
"Cassian said."
Fisher, standing to the side, widened his eyes. "Dad, your change of expression is too fast!"
He turned to Audrey and smiled, "It is indeed a very good investment."
Audrey's lips twitched.
However, the speed at which the older brother and father changed their tune was truly astounding; they are indeed businessmen!
"I told you, he's different!"
After saying that, she turned and left, sending messages to all her best friends to quickly gather.
This time, she's going to show off really hard.
Inside the room, the father and son exchanged a glance. Fisher pursed his lips and said, "Father, if you put her in charge, she will definitely set up the highest level of treatment she can."
Besides, you know Lord Kieran's situation; nobody knows how long Ian can stay under his command!
Although Fisher said that, he still didn't really approve of Ian, after all, he was only a first-class talent.
Cassian sighed, "I've inquired about her. Ian's character is alright, and she still has potential. What I'm most afraid of is that one day she might be deceived by some other ill-intentioned wizard."
That's fine.
Fisher nodded in agreement, inwardly agreeing with the sentiment.
His younger sister has invested in many things, but she has basically lost everything.
This time he almost risked everything himself, so it's no wonder his father and brother were worried.
Houghton Manor.
The wizards were all engaged in their work, while seven or eight wizard apprentices were in the square, holding their entrance ceremony.
Willow was in charge.
At this moment, the apprentices were also whispering among themselves.
"Do you think such a small school of wizardry might not be up to par? Should we switch to another one?"
I think so too.
The two apprentices whispered among themselves, feeling that this newly entered school of thought seemed rather ordinary compared to the others.
But the next second, the gates of the castle not far away burst open, and Horton walked out, radiating a violent mental energy.
"Father? What's wrong?"
Willow looked puzzled.
"That kid Ian has successfully advanced to the next level and joined Kieran's ranks," Horton said with a grin.
"Come on, come with me to deal with the potion field matter first. It's time to settle it."
After saying that, he strode outside, and Willow could only follow quickly, leaving a group of apprentices looking at each other in bewilderment.
One of the wizards looked puzzled.
So she asked the wizard beside her, who also seemed excited but had already entered the school of thought, "Madam, who is Ian?"
"Ian is Lord Horton's disciple, currently studying at the Elemental Arcane Wizarding Academy, where his mentor is Lord Kieran, the Dean of the Four Symbols Academy!"
The wizard was Vivian, who introduced herself to the group of wizards.
My heart was filled with emotion, as if the scene of Ian entering the Potions Department was still vivid in my mind.
But now he has gone so far ahead of her that he is no longer a wizard of her caliber; they are not even in the same league.
The other wizards also looked on with envy.
A first-circle wizard!
This is also the second first-ring wizard in the Houghton school of wizarding.
The Four Symbols Institute? The Director?
The apprentices were also taken aback; having lived in the City of Elements for so long, they certainly couldn't have been unfamiliar with this name.
They never expected that this elementary school student would have a connection at the dean level.
Are you still leaving?
"Screw you leaving! This school of thought's tuition is going to go up in a few days!"
It was the same two apprentices again, each looking excited, as if they had gotten a great deal.
Unlike other wizarding schools in the outside world, in the City of Elements, apprentices usually have to pay tuition.
The other wizards' wavering resolve instantly hardened.
the other side.
Magic field.
Horton had arrived and spotted old Huck in the distance.
Upon seeing Horton arrive.
He immediately frowned: "Horton, this magic field contains many of our resources, so logically..."
"Is this proof of assets? I'm only asking if you're leaving or not!"
Horton said nothing, but took out a recording crystal and a contract certified by the City of Elements.
"It's no use you taking a picture. Let me tell you, I'm not giving in. Go ahead and do it if you dare!" Old Huck started acting like a scoundrel.
"good!"
The next instant, he saw the ground in front of him was lush and green, as if he had entered a forest area, and a large number of vines suddenly rushed towards him like waves.
"You're insane!"
Old Hack's eyes were bloodshot.
His combat prowess is far inferior to Horton's, but fighting is strictly prohibited in the City of Elements, which is why he dares to keep cheating.
But today, it seems like Horton has gone mad.
In just over ten seconds, Old Hark was completely bound, begging for mercy: "My lord, spare me! My lord, spare me! I'll give up!"
"You're just afraid of dying."
Horton snorted coldly and crushed him to death.
"Horton, you're finished!"
At this moment, the other members of Old Hak's tribe, along with the wizards of the Elemental City patrol, arrived and trembled upon seeing this scene.
The patrol's wizards also instantly became serious.
"Bold wizard, you have violated the rules of the Elemental City! You must surrender immediately!"
Just when they thought they would be met with resistance, they saw that Horton immediately withdrew his mental energy and indicated that he was willing to go with them.
soon.
Horton was led into the Tribunal of the City of Elements, and within just over ten minutes, it was surrounded by wizards from the old Hack family.
At this moment, their faces all looked grim.
They never expected Horton to dare to make a move.
"That old bastard is doomed too!" a clan elder said viciously.
In fact, the wizard nodded.
But the next second, they were astonished to see Horton being escorted out by the same wizard who had spoken to him earlier, with a respectful expression.
Horton glanced at them, and the imposing aura of a formal wizard made them all lower their heads.
Only after he left did a wizard immediately go up to question the patrol wizard.
"Sir, how can we let that murderer go free?"
"Murderer?" The patrol's wizard sneered. "Your family has some nerve, daring to touch the sect's assets of even Lord Kieran's official students. None of you will leave here alive today."
"Guards, arrest these people!"
Kiran the Wizard?
All the wizards were stunned. The moment they learned the name, their legs trembled, and they understood why Horton dared to kill people directly!
the other side.
Ian, of course, had no idea what had happened.
proving ground.
All that could be seen were fiery tentacles surrounding Ian, constantly reaching out.
Like arrows, the ground they touched exploded as if they were about to burst, and even the earth and rocks began to burn.
A casual strike has an energy intensity of over 300, and a full-power burst would probably be over 500.
"It's completely different from the zero-ring era!"
Ian remarked with emotion.
Only with such strength could one create a situation similar to that of Blackstone and Horton.
Moreover, Hand of Flames is a fixed spell, which can be cast instantly even if you are not at the Master level.
It is also instantaneous, but it is slightly different from the master level. The latter requires mobilizing some mental energy, but the former can be released directly without any thought. That is because the mark has been imprinted in the mental energy crystal.
Moreover, it is more powerful and has the potential for growth.
Aside from the changes in witchcraft, what surprised Ian the most was the presence of a psychic field, which finally allowed him to fly.
With that thought, Ian used his psychic field to lift him up and fly into the sky.
Watching myself get further and further away from the ground.
He was also filled with excitement.
Unfortunately, he stopped after rising only a dozen meters.
"That's pretty much the maximum altitude, but it will only last for a maximum of ten minutes."
Ian shook his head. It was clear from this that Horton was also very strong in the first ring.
Of course, there are other changes as well.
The changes in his physical body seemed to be due to the branding and body-forging technique; at least he felt that the zero-ring sorcery could no longer break through his defenses.
The first ring road is alright.
"However, after that I can start trying out some parts of the branding body-strengthening method, as well as meditation!"
Ian took a deep breath.
Having advanced to the next level, he can now begin learning a great deal more.
"However, let's try the Four Symbols Resonance Meditation Method first."
Ian decided.
With about ten days left until the next assessment, he hoped to master the basics and perhaps receive some help.
Moreover, the effect of the Zero Ring Meditation Method was already extremely weak at this point, to the point that he could not even feel any change in his mental energy.
Therefore, you must first learn the meditation method of the first cycle.
soon.
He left and headed towards the college. He hadn't changed his accommodation yet; he planned to wait until after the next meeting.
Back in the room.
He began to try learning the Four Elements Resonance Meditation Method, which was indeed ridiculously more difficult than the Zero Ring method.
This applies to everything, including mental energy structure and other aspects.
This made Ian frown.
In the blink of an eye.
A week has passed.
Ian still couldn't get the hang of it, which made him realize that Kieran was absolutely not joking when he said it was difficult.
Another day.
"A glimpse into the truth!"
Ian took a deep breath. A new month had arrived, and he could use his abilities again. He felt himself back in peak condition.
However, things are different from usual.
In the past, I could grasp the principles of things instantly, but this time it was very difficult. I only managed to get started after the silver sand was used up.
Keep in mind that even the Flame Hand technique only increased proficiency by thirty or forty points on its first attempt.
"It's difficult, but I've gotten the hang of it. Once I get onto the control panel, there's always a way." Ian took a deep breath.
Look at the panel.

Age: 19
[Strength: First-Ring Wizard (First Crystal 1/100), Unbreakable Rune]

Compared to before.
He has grown a year older, his strength has increased to that of a first-ring wizard, and the skill "Meditation" has appeared in his skill list.
"Feel the changes."
Ian took a deep breath.
Let's get into the practice of meditation.
Compared to the Four Elements Meditation Method, it is not only faster but also of higher quality, almost five times faster.
He finally felt the long-lost state of his spiritual power rising.
"Ah, that feels so good!"
Ian gradually became engrossed in it.
the next day.
Ian left the house not to test his witchcraft again, but because another three months had passed.
We should go to the Four Symbols Temple.
I'm attending another exchange meeting.
