Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 75, Part 023: Black Mountain Swordsmanship

That kid really knows how to make a big splash.

Catherine had anticipated that Rosie was concealing some of her cultivation progress, but she never expected the extent of the concealment to be so great. She had previously reported only 5.3 mental strength, but in the blink of an eye, she had condensed 7 runes and advanced to the rank of advanced apprentice.

That really underestimated him.

With a sigh in her heart, Catherine nodded and said, "This is my student, named Rosie Herat, who came from across the sea three years ago."

"Yeah?"

Wizard Yellen asked, "So what do you think of this apprentice?"

Catherine hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully: "A very cunning little devil, extremely talented in learning, always asking strange questions, and quite persistent in his pursuit and acquisition of magical knowledge. My assessment is that he has a lot of potential."

"Is that so?" Yellen asked thoughtfully, then added, "I heard you recommended an apprentice's manuscript for publication in the Magic Mirror."

Catherine nodded: "This is the apprentice."

Yellen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, since that's the case, and Iris is going to Elemental Castle soon, I'll let her make contact with this apprentice."

Having entered the wizarding world in just three and a half years, he has reached the level of a high-level apprentice. Looking at the more than 1,000-year history of Elemental Castle and even the entire South Coast Wizarding Domain, only a few dozen apprentices have been able to reach this level. Most of those who have achieved this have made brilliant achievements in their subsequent wizarding careers.

Although Rosie's current level is not yet at the top level like Joshua's, it has reached a level that these high-ranking wizard families are worth cultivating.

Catherine replied, "Yes."

After thinking for a moment, Yellen added, "However, we should observe further before proceeding. After all, many apprentices start off strong but lack sufficient understanding and practical experience in wizardry, and ultimately they cannot go very far. The progress of cultivation is one thing, but whether it can be applied in practice is another."

Catherine asked疑惑地问道, "So what do you mean?"

Yellen said, "I think you've heard about the trouble those dark wizards have been causing lately, haven't you?"

Catherine nodded: "I've heard that quite a few people have died."

Yellen said, "The league has decided to intervene. Before that, these apprentices will undergo a period of intensive training to see how they perform before making a decision."

"I'll leave this to Iris to handle; you don't need to worry about it."

Endless Seas, Apprentice.

Inside the cabin, Rosie was practicing swordsmanship, brandishing her Glory sword.

"Whoosh~" The dull sound of wind breaking rang out one after another, and each swing of the heavy greatsword felt like a mountain pressing down.

At this moment, he was not practicing the swift sword, but a more advanced swordsmanship—

Black Mountain Swordsmanship.

The bait used to lure Fred into the trap was not unfounded. The Black Mountain Knight had indeed compiled his life's work of swordsmanship into a book and left it behind. After his death, this swordsmanship fell into the hands of Count Brock.

Having been genuinely frightened by Rosie before, Brock took the initiative to reveal the existence of this sword technique to Rosie and teach it to her after that day.

Rosina took a look and found it interesting, so he made a copy. As for the original, he left it with Count Brock, so that if his younger brother El grew up and became interested in swordsmanship, he could teach him this.

Luo Xi repeatedly swung the cross sword, trying to match the movements to the sword technique, hoping to quickly develop muscle memory and increase his proficiency.

The Black Mountain Knight, as expected of a court knight of the Kingdom of Rudin, is indeed very skilled in swordsmanship. The Black Mountain Sword Technique he created is sharp and powerful, far superior to the Swift Sword in terms of both power generation and other aspects. It is definitely a truly advanced sword technique.

Soon, Luo Xi finished a round of sword training.

"Complete a swordsmanship training session and trigger a critical hit. Time points +8 days."

Luo Xi took a towel to wipe his sweat, then opened the system panel to check his current three-dimensional attributes.

Strength 7.2, Agility 7.5, Constitution 7.0.

All three attributes have increased significantly, with the average of all three exceeding 7, reaching 7 times the level of a normal adult male. The specific effect is...

Rosie glanced around and finally her gaze settled on Nicole over there.

At this moment, Nicole was lying on the bed reading a book, her left hand supporting her chin, her right hand turning the pages, and her legs bent over and raised, swaying unconsciously, just like a mermaid leisurely swaying her tail.

Luo Xi put down the cross sword, walked over, and lifted her off the bed with open arms.

Although Nicole was slim, she still weighed forty or fifty pounds, but at this moment, Rosie felt as if she were holding a doll, and could not feel any weight at all.

"Eh?"

Nicole asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Rosie lifted Nicole up and did a few weightlifting movements, casually replying, "Testing my strength."

Nicole was speechless for a moment.

She grabbed the book from her hand and tapped Luo Xi on the head: "Test my head my foot! Put me down right now~~~"

Instead of doing so, Luo Xi pulled her over and placed her in front of his chest, then spread her legs apart and wrapped them around his waist, making her hang completely on his body.

Before Nicole could say anything, she felt a chill and her nightgown was ripped off by Rosie.

"Hello!"

Nicole was speechless, but she quickly wrapped her arms around Rosie's neck and hugged him.

Rosie was then able to free her hands to hold Nicole's little bottoms and proceed with the next step.

Since we're going to train anyway, why not cultivate our character while we're at it?

Life on the ship was quite leisurely. Most of the time, Rosie spent her time in the cabin meditating, learning magic, practicing swordsmanship, and doing some couples activities with Nicole.

I only go out onto the deck occasionally when I can't stand being cooped up, maybe to go fishing or something.

Wizard Karen was an avid angler who would have his sailors lower a small boat into the sea every week and tether it with a rope at a distance to enjoy sea fishing.

Rosie would occasionally go fishing with Wizard Karen on a small boat.

The fishing rods were specially prepared by Wizard Karen for sea fishing; the longest could reach hundreds of meters, and even deeper was possible. However, the deep sea here was teeming with strange and unusual creatures, some of which were so powerful that even wizards dared not easily offend them.

"Strive to complete a fishing trip, time added 3 days."

He would meditate, read, and fish, and time would pass quickly. Usually, he would sit down until the bored Nicole would come riding over on the Apprentice's broom to call him back for dinner.

Rosie was only moderately addicted to fishing; whenever Nicole came to call her, she would usually go back with her on a broom. But Wizard Karen was the type who wouldn't move at all; if she didn't catch any fish, she would just sit there, sometimes for days and nights without moving an inch.

The fish caught were handed over to the ship's chef, a master chef from a court in the human world. His body had been specially modified so that he could reside in the wizarding world for a long time. He was skilled in cooking various ingredients, including steaming, roasting, boiling, frying, and slicing. The fish he made tasted excellent and were very appetizing.

Time passed leisurely, and two weeks went by in the blink of an eye. This trip was about to come to an end.

However, at this moment, an unexpected situation disrupted the group's return journey.

Yesterday I was following a novel about a moderator until after 2 a.m.
