Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 430 Bruno's First Meeting, Ian's Thoughts Change, One and a Half Years, First Stage Assessment!

the next day.

The weather was fine and sunny.

Ian walked down the street.

Suddenly, a wizard appeared ahead.

He had an ordinary face and wore the wizard's robes of the Gray Tower, but his body was hunched over, as if he had been like that for a long time.

The wizard blocked Ian's path.

Ian's breath hitched for a moment.

The aura emanating from the person before him made him instinctively feel a chill.

The Third Ring Road.

Moreover, it's a very strong three-ring formation.

It's not blocking the road.

He could feel the wizard's gaze fixed on him, which confirmed to Ian that he was indeed there to see him.

"This is the Gray Tower, and I am a wizard who has come to the Gray Tower for study."

Ian said immediately.

He wanted to use this identity to intimidate the wizard.

This is, after all, Grey Tower's territory.

The wizard smiled and said, "Lord Ian, Lord Bruno wishes to see you. I'll have to trouble you to come with me."

Bruno?

Ian was stunned.

You must be joking.

But when Ian looked at the wizard in front of him, and at the letter he slowly took out that he had sent to Edith, he was stunned.

"OK."

With a feeling of unease.

Ian followed the wizard.

They traveled all the way to the very center of Thousand Towers, until finally the massive central gray tower stood before Ian.

He realized this.

The wizard wasn't joking.

It really was Bruno who wanted to see him.

That is, the only fourth ring in the Grey Tower, Edith's father.

As Ian followed the wizard into the wizard's tower, he instantly felt as if he had entered another world.

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

A plain appeared before Ian's eyes, and a much larger wizard tower stood not far away.

Just by looking ahead, he could feel powerful auras emanating from all around him.

They are all at least on the Third Ring Road.

Gurgle.

Ian's throat moved slightly; he admitted he was a little nervous.

Fortunately, with the wizard leading the way, no aura dared to disturb them as they walked through the small world.

The closer you get to the Wizard's Tower.

He could feel the immense energy gathering within, like a mountain that could easily tear him apart.

"You'll see the owner once you go inside."

The wizard finally led Ian to the wizard's tower, which was even larger than the outside world, and turned to speak.

Ian nodded.

The figure appeared in another room in the next instant.

It was a quaint room, simple like an ordinary study, with bookshelves, shelves, and a portrait that Ian found stunning.

A massive blood moon hung in the sky, the entire scene was completely blood-red, and countless enormous, bat-like creatures blotted out the sun.

But amidst this blood-red landscape, a massive warship lay across the scene, followed by countless airships.

It appears to be an image of conquering another world.

"This is the scene I witnessed when I followed the wizards to conquer the world of the Blood Moon." A powerful voice rang out.

Ian turned his head.

All I could see was a wizard with gray hair and eyes, a simple wizard's robe, and a simple face.

Just by standing there, without even emitting any aura, Ian felt as if he were facing an entire world.

Without a doubt, it was Edith's father, Bruno.

"Lord Bruno."

Ian sends his respectful greetings.

Bruno nodded, walked up to the mural, and continued as if reminiscing: "I stayed there for two hundred years. It was during this war that I completely integrated all the rules, plundered a complete rule, advanced to the fourth ring, and also met Edith's mother, and then gave birth to her."

"That was a truly touching story."

Ian said.

"No, Edith's mother was captured and killed by the Blood Moon Clan shortly after giving birth to Edith," Bruno said, shaking his head.

Ian's face froze.

"But that's all in the past."

Bruno sat down in a chair on one side and looked at Ian as if he were being scrutinized from head to toe.

"Top-tier physique, your internal energy is a bit exaggerated, even in the Gray Tower it's considered top-tier, no wonder Edith took a liking to you."

Bruno said calmly.

Ian was sweating profusely.

In the face of a fourth ring road, all his pretense seemed meaningless.

"But you're still too weak to be with my daughter. We'll talk about this after you reach the third ring. As for Edith needing some knowledge, I know it's for you, but I won't give it to you. You'll have to get it yourself." Bruno looked at Ian calmly.

He originally intended to tell Ian directly that it was impossible.

But after seeing Ian, he was also taken aback.

The children in this remote area seem to have an exaggerated level of resilience and physical constitution.

This made him change his mind.

"Yes, sir."

Ian thought Bruno's point was valid.

He wanted to say something else.

Then I saw Bruno flick his sleeve.

When Ian opened his eyes, he was already outside the huge wizard tower, with only the wizard from before still waiting.

Is that the end of the conversation?

Ian was taken aback.

The imagined difficulties did not materialize; in fact, it could be said that he was given a great opportunity.

After all, what we're facing is the Fourth Ring Road.

Even though he is much stronger than his peers at the moment, he is still just a second-circle wizard.

The gap between them is no smaller than the gap between an ordinary person and someone from the Second Ring Road.

Is it still too weak?

He didn't even utter a final word; one could only say that in the eyes of this fourth-circle wizard, he was at this moment barely stronger than air.

So we still need to become stronger.

Ian felt that his motivation to become stronger had increased even more.

He wants to break through the third ring road.

This requires obtaining the source vein seed from the small world, and also requires his physique to reach the primordial body level.

The wizard took Ian away and returned to the wizard's tower.

"Owner."

"Has it been sent out?" Bruno asked, then followed up, "What do you think of Ta? How is he with Edith?"

The wizard had followed him for many years.

The wizard, named Carter, practically watched Edith grow up.

"what?"

Carter was stunned.

"Sir, this boy is only a second-ring rank 2, how could he be worthy of the young lady?" Carter retorted instinctively.

Bruno did not speak.

I was just recalling the feeling I had just experienced.

That's an exaggeration.

To be honest, he had never seen a wizard with such a strong foundation before; it seemed he had only seen one when he went to the Eternal Sky.

"never mind...."

He shook his head.

No matter what, he's only a second-tier player. We'll talk about it when he advances to the third tier.

If things were still like that at that time, it wouldn't have been a problem to give Edith to her, since it's what daughters like anyway.

Get rid of Ian.

He'll be talked about for the rest of his life.

He can just support them; he can afford to support two people, provided, of course, that the latter gets promoted to the third ring.

He wasn't joking.

The Third Ring Road is the absolute bottom line.

And then they walked out onto the road.

Ian then noticed that he seemed to have an extra piece of something on him—a gem that looked like crystal.

"This is?"

Ian was completely bewildered. He sensed some spatial energy above him, but he didn't know where it was coming from.

Mental contact.

It was as if something invisible was spreading from it and connecting to an unknown distance.

"Ian?"

A familiar voice came from inside.

Ian was taken aback.

Then the screen appeared in front of Ian, and Edith appeared on the screen with an excited look on her face.

"Edith?"

Ian opened his mouth wide.

After returning home.

Ian only found out then.

It turns out that this is a transcendent cross-dimensional communication crystal, and Edith is currently undergoing trials in another small world.

According to Edith.

That small world was rich in resources, and Bruno paid a price to send her there.

There are even wizards in the eternal sky.

If all goes well, she'll stay there for a long time, and she should be promoted to the third ring by the time she returns.

"Dad, I thought it was just a short trip, but it might be much longer than that. I might not be able to come back while you're studying. But at least Dad knows I miss you, so I gave you this."

Edith's face was full of smiles, as if she were enjoying a leisurely trip.

Ian's lips twitched.

The chance to directly advance to the third ring.

This means that only the top-tier second-generation can enjoy this.

But he didn't expect Bruno to give him a communication crystal.

This person from the Fourth Ring Road was kinder than he had expected.

In other words.

It's true that they will give him the opportunity to redeem it.

Ian's eyes lit up immediately.

Actually, his path to advancing to the third ring is quite clear, but some conditions are required.

The biggest problem right now is physical condition.

"Looks like we can't keep a low profile this time."

Ian's eyes flickered.

"Be careful on your study tour. The wizards at the academy are quite strong. I'll figure out how to get you the things you need when I get back."

Edith was still concerned.

"No."

Ian looked at him calmly and said, "I'm not the one who should be careful."

With Edith's amulet as his protection and some of Bruno's words, he suddenly realized a problem.

That means he shouldn't be the one keeping a low profile.

I doubt anyone would like a timid and hesitant son-in-law.

I've decided to be bolder.

But Ian's daily life naturally wouldn't become flamboyant; that's not his habit.

He communicated with Edith regularly, and spent the rest of his time studying and improving, steadily refining his newly acquired witchcraft.

Starting from the second class, Ian also began to learn new alchemy knowledge in the alchemy class.

His skill level is improving day by day.

Back at the Tower of Truth, Ian quickly completed his first mission and then began taking on other missions.

The points are increasing.

This is also Ian's Plan B.

After all, if something unexpected happens at the Gray Tower, there's still the Tower of Truth where you can exchange items.

This also allowed Ian's reputation to gradually spread among the second-circle scholars of the Tower of Truth.

Of course, it's still a small area.

In the blink of an eye.

A year and a half has passed.

Inside the cultivation room.

Ian took a deep breath, and all the energy in his body gradually merged and eventually became one.

A notification sounded simultaneously.

"Energy Integration Technique upgraded to Master level, talent increased by two thousand."

Talent: 70000 → 72000

"Finally, I've reached Master level."

Ian couldn't help but marvel at how a talent value of two thousand demonstrated the excellence of this subject.

"It's a pity it's only a high-end second-ring road vehicle; it's still a bit lacking."

Ian felt the energy within his body; although the fusion was harmonious, it hadn't yet reached a completely complete level.

but..

Ian's gaze swept across the energy, and under the influence of the shared sense of all things, the subtle details of the energy appeared in his consciousness.

It started moving again.

It has reached a more perfect state.

"Using other abilities can help one reach their peak, but it will be more strenuous."

Ian shook his head.

But given this level of performance, this assessment should be fine.

"It's been a year and a half."

Just last month, the Gray Tower instructors said that it would be the last class of the first phase.

The assessment is next month.

"I have no problem with the core courses, I have made great progress in the combat courses over the past year and a half, and I have no problem with the alchemy course."

Ian pondered.

Alchemy, in particular, has made great progress this past year, especially with the Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Truth.

He improved some products to suit the local market, but unfortunately, he lacked distribution channels and still couldn't make a difference.

The latter's main focus is also on alchemy.

He has made great progress and can now be considered a beginner alchemist.

"Then comes the assessment in a few days."

Ian took a deep breath.

This time.

He wants to achieve a higher ranking, get more points, and then exchange them to complete his witchcraft.

That is, one week later.

A week later.

Ian walked out of the room.

"Ian, let's go."

Emil stood not far away, with Osborne and Gideon beside him.

"Can."

Ian nodded.

In the past year and a half, not much has changed for anyone. And thanks to Ian’s achievements and the shining moments of others, nothing like looking down on people and falling apart has happened.

Of course, Emil's direction was still outwards, where he met many wizards.

Osborne College 2nd Generation.

Gideon is also said to be highly regarded by the potions course instructors.

Everything is getting better.

"I wonder what ranking we'll get after today."

Emil looked at the three of them with a sigh.

He is very clear.

After this assessment.

Everyone will definitely change.

Ian.

His gaze fell on his roommate, who had gained considerable fame during the first class.

But after that incident, Ian fell into silence, keeping a low profile.

But he could sense it.

Ian is definitely very strong, and he might even have a chance to make it into the top ten this time.

What about Osborne?

They've performed very well recently and are a strong contender for a top-ten finish.

He guessed that Gideon was a little short, but he would definitely get a high score in the supplementary courses.

"Let's go."

Osborne spoke slowly.

Everyone left.

The next testing location is ahead.

It's different from where they usually have classes.

It is a huge square.

By this time, quite a few wizards had arrived, but no one seemed to react to Ian and his group's arrival.

Ian's position among the four is alright.

But throughout the entire study tour, only at the very beginning did anyone pay attention to Ian. After that, he disappeared from the news, and naturally, no one cared anymore.

"This is?"

Ian's gaze was fixed on the center of the square, which was now divided into sections, each containing something that looked like a ball of light.

Each of them has its own color.

Ian immediately realized that there seemed to be a lot of energy inside.

What kind of assessment format is this?

At this moment, Wizard Anton slowly arrived at the arena and, looking at the assembled wizards, announced, "The first phase of the assessment officially begins!"
