Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

The system improves knowledge that requires memorization most quickly.

If he studies a complete book with all his might.

It only takes three days to fully digest.

Ian has temporarily skipped the two free courses at the Tower of Heights recently.

Firstly, I was afraid of an accident on the road, and secondly, I was afraid of running into Simon.

Every night, I would take drugs and meditate, feeling incredibly fulfilled as I watched my proficiency levels steadily increase.

More than two weeks later, it was just dawn.

"Bang bang..."

"Ian, open the door quickly."

Ian was awakened by a loud knocking on the door before he even got out of bed.

"It finally happened!"

Ian snapped out of his daze, suppressed his rising morning grumpiness, got dressed, and opened the door.

"Hey bro, what's wrong with you? It's been so many days, and you haven't replied to a single message, huh?"

Simon looked rather grim and immediately questioned Ian as soon as he entered the room.

It was clearly an attempt to gain the upper hand and give Ian a hard time.

Ian looked flustered and shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Simon, my family hasn't sent me any magic stones yet, so I was too embarrassed to ask you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Simon slammed his hand on the table and glared at Ian.

"I refuse to believe you don't even have this many magic stones."

Ian dodged the spray and patiently explained.

"Don't you know how many magic stones I spent before? When have I ever lied to you?"

Simon was taken aback and became somewhat uncertain, but then he thought about it and realized it made sense.

Normally, if you trick someone like this, that coward will confess everything.

"Could it be that I've been exploiting them too quickly, and the magic stones in Ian's house are running out?"

Ian was a big fat sheep; after eating for so long, it seems he's really gone.

"You really don't have even five magic stones? You know I hate being lied to."

Simon's tone was grim, indicating that he planned to use some methods to teach Ian a lesson.

"I borrowed his magic stone, what, you have a problem with that?"

Before anyone knew it, Kenna had arrived at the door.

Holding a greatsword, he looked coldly at Simon.

Simon turned around abruptly, his face immediately turning grim.

Could it be that this seemingly upright bastard has also set his sights on Ian?

"I have nothing to do with your business. I sold the herbs to Ian, and you can't deny me the magic stones."

Simon's eyes darted around, his tone softened, and he was quite wary of Kenner.

"Let's wait a while. Once the magic stones arrive from home, I'll return them to you first."

Ian was also helpless and could only try to calm him down before continuing.

He is currently weak and doesn't want to offend Simon immediately.

Leveraging external forces can only be a temporary solution; the key is to have a strong foundation of one's own.

His strength is growing rapidly, and the longer it goes on, the better it will be for him.

"Hmph! I'll get the magic stone within a month at most."

Simon didn't press the matter further, ignoring the two of them, and slammed the door shut as he left.

"Thank you, Brother Kenna. Please come in and have a seat."

Ian invited Kenner into the house, but Kenner shook his head.

"You need to be careful. Simon's background is a bit complicated, and it seems like there's a senior apprentice behind him."

Ian felt a chill run down his spine; a high-level wizard apprentice was completely different from a beginner or intermediate one.

Most of them had spent many years in the academy, possessing profound knowledge of witchcraft and forming the prototype of their own system.

Compared to these novices, they are real combat monsters.

"Thank you for reminding me." Ian said solemnly, secretly grateful for this extremely important news.

Kenna looked a little embarrassed, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"My visit here was by chance; I mainly wanted to buy a sobering potion from you."

Ian was not surprised; as a junior apprentice, he mainly took this cheap and effective potion during meditation.

"I don't have any on hand. The success rate of refining potions is still very low. I'll send some to you in a few days."

Kenna looked relieved when Ian agreed and put down the five magic stones.

"If Simon comes again, you can contact me, and I'll kill him for you, but the reward is..."

Before leaving, Kenner said something that left Ian bewildered.

This upright knight has undergone tremendous changes after spending several years in the wizarding world!

"Never mind all that, at least I've found the magic stone that lets me turn back!"

Ian sighed, looking at the quail egg-sized, jet-black magic stone on the table.

His expression then turned serious; Simon's unwavering departure had actually made him more uneasy.

He wasn't as foolish as the original owner of this body, thinking that the other party would really wait a month before coming over.

Since he opened the panel, he has stayed at home, focusing on his cultivation.

I was afraid of getting into trouble, but I still couldn't avoid it.

However, he is no longer the helpless man he was just over two weeks ago.

Name: Ian Marcus

Age: 16

[Level: Low-level Wizard Apprentice (75%)]

[Talent: Moderate Light Affinity]

【Skill: Star Moon Low-Level Meditation Technique: Proficient (18/400)】

Wizard's Hand: Proficient (12/200)

Secondary Frost Ray: Mastery (3/400)

Awakening Potion: Beginner (51/100)

Basic Potion Identification: Proficient (160/200)

His rapid improvement in meditation skills was what gave him the most peace of mind; this was the fundamental reason.

Although a slight resistance developed at the beginning, it was perfectly fine to persevere until I broke through to the intermediate apprentice level.

Then there's his only offensive sorcery: Lesser Frost Ray.

In the early stages, proficiency increases very quickly. Once you reach the proficiency stage, you can increase your proficiency by practicing an average of three or four times.

After more than twenty days and thousands of spellcasting practice sessions.

Finally, yesterday, I moved beyond proficiency and reached the final stage: mastery.

To his surprise, the panel showed that his proficiency could continue to improve.

This made him even more interested in this witchcraft, and now he has reduced the casting time to 0.5 seconds.

With a maximum attack range of 20 meters, it falls into the category of mid-to-long-range sorcery.

Ian quietly went out and came to a deserted open space, where he stood still.

He quickly made hand gestures, his fingers leaving afterimages, and then rapidly recited the incantation.

"Glacies!"

With a flick of his arm, a dark blue shadow shot out with a whoosh.

With a "whoosh!", a tree 15 meters ahead, so large that it would take one person to hug it, was pierced through.

The entire tree trunk rustled incessantly as it was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost.

It not only deals penetrating damage, but also has a persistent freezing effect.

Then another ray shot out, and the tree trunk next to it remained intact, covered with a thin layer of frost.

Ian nodded to himself, "The power can be controlled at will; this is what witchcraft should be like."

The current frost rays, when unleashed at full power, are extremely powerful, but the energy consumption also increases accordingly.

With his current mental strength, he can only emit five rays before his mental strength is exhausted.

This is the result of his recent significant progress in meditation.

When Ian returned home at noon, he found that the food supplies were running low. This was the first time Ian had ever stayed at home for so long.

He put on the tower's grey robe and put on the hood.

Carrying some gold coins and 11 magic stones, he set off again.
