Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 137 [137] A formal wizard takes action, custom-making a magical artifact.

Wang Ya's mind withdrew from the wizard's mark, and he looked up at the many family wizards, his gaze then meeting that of the commoner wizard Matthew Gray.

He took in the emotions of many gazes.

The Windwalker Wizard looked on with admiration, for being able to defeat a level three wizard apprentice meant that, in terms of strength, the apprentice had already reached their level.

Lando the Wizard gave a thumbs-up and smiled.

The wizard Kelan nodded slightly to him, then turned and walked back the way he came, and Wang Ya followed.

He left only a carefree silhouette for the wizards present.

Zak'Anton bit his lip tightly, his gaze fixed on Wang Ya's back. He actually defeated Hades, and Hades who had advanced to the third-level wizard apprentice level.

The gap between them is widening.

Even though he had created many powerful puppets, he never imagined that he could fight and defeat a level three wizard apprentice.

This is simply impossible.

This was the view held by the other genius family wizards standing nearby, and it was also the common understanding among most wizards.

Now this concept has been shattered by Wang Ya, and they have witnessed it with their own eyes.

"Just how much more is Wang Yahalak hiding? And how far behind are we?"

"What exactly happened to him in those five months, or was he hiding something during the competition in the secret realm?"

Even Dante's powerful physique felt a chill at this moment, a sense of powerlessness due to the extremely obvious gap in strength.

He doubted whether he could keep up with Wang Yahalak's pace. The other party's strength had changed too dramatically. In just five months, he was able to defeat a third-level wizard apprentice.

And those unpredictable and mysterious methods—if I were to face them, would I be able to cope?

Jim's expression was deeply moved as he pondered how to handle the upcoming battle with Wang Ya.

A wizard's power lies in their strength, but also in the unknown. The magic they display can be countered if prepared in advance.

But no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out the principle behind Wang Ya's bizarre methods, or how he managed to do it.

It's simply unbreakable.

Jim Norway's face grew paler and paler.

Reilly Shebir glanced at the Mad brothers beside him and said, "I won't be going on the next wizarding mission. You two can go on your own."

The Mad brothers were stunned. Before they could speak, Reilly Shebir continued, "Put away your arrogance. Thinking that he only has the advantage of terrain in the secret realm competition and that his real strength is not great will only widen the gap between you and Wang Yahalak."

"I plan to spend the rest of my time exploring my path as a blood wizard and will not participate in any wizarding missions." As Reilly Shebir left, he added, "Don't forget, King Yahalak came from humble beginnings; he doesn't have as many resources as we do."

"I, Rayleigh, lost to King Yaharak once, but I will absolutely not allow myself to lose to him a second time. I cannot accept that my strength has fallen so far behind his."

Reilly Shebir left, but his words made the family wizarding geniuses present think.

Several glances flickered, as if a decision had been made in their hearts.

Reilly Shepherd is absolutely right. They are both geniuses from wizarding families, and there is no reason why they should be worse than a commoner wizard.

There is no reason for anyone to look up to a commoner wizard.

They all decided to explore the potential of the wizarding path, develop more types of magic, and enhance their own abilities.

"Father, I have disappointed you." When Hades Anton emerged from the battlefield, most of the wizards present had already left.

He saw that familiar figure standing there waiting for him, along with his younger brother Zakantun.

However, his back, which had always been straight and without any bends, was noticeably hunched over when Hades looked at him.

Kazeantun remained expressionless and said, "It's good that you're still alive."

His tone was still serious and firm, but the feeling he gave off was different. The atmosphere was slightly oppressive and bleak. Zak Anton also sensed that something was wrong. Just as he was about to ask Kaze Anton a question, he saw him turn around and leave.

Hades Anton's face turned pale, and upon seeing this, he became even more disheartened.

He knew that he had become a sinner to the Anton family, not only ruining the family's future but also making them a laughingstock.

The Anton family was roasted over a fire.

The fact that a third-level wizard apprentice could not defeat Wang Yahalak, a second-level wizard apprentice, is the greatest irony in itself, especially since most people believed that both of them were at the level of second-level wizard apprentices when the duel was arranged.

There are even more far-reaching consequences. His defeat not only brings shame to the Anton family, but also causes the Wizard Family Alliance to lose a lot of resources and benefits.

Overall, it was another competition between the two sides, and the Wizarding Family Alliance lost to the School lineage.

The last time was a competition in the Secret Realm.

Both times it was because of Wang Yahalak.

"Zack, it's me." Hades looked at his younger brother.

Zac Anton glanced at Hades with a complicated expression, then turned and left.

Hades Anton sighed deeply. He had lost, and the consequences of that loss would be immense.

Next comes the sacrifice of interests due to the outcome of winning or losing.

Although the Anton family will not suffer a major blow, they will inevitably suffer some serious damage.

Two figures walked side by side in the maple forest.

"Junior brother, congratulations on leaving your name in the history of the entire Underdark," said Wizard Kolan with a smile.

"Senior Sister Kelan, I don't believe you didn't see the reality. My dream magic system is not yet complete; it's too rough and has too many loopholes." Wang Ya shook his head and said, "The victory was too hard-won."

"Even if you're forced to, you still won. In the entire history of the Underdark, there has never been a precedent of a second-level wizard apprentice defeating a third-level wizard apprentice. You've set this precedent."

"How does it feel to defeat a level three wizard apprentice and be looked at by others?" Wizard Coran blinked and said.

Wang Ya felt soreness all over his body, his internal particle energy was completely depleted, and even the depths of his mind were being pierced by needles.

He gave the wizard Kelan a wry smile, "Right now, I just want to rest and adjust my condition. I don't have any pleasant thoughts at all."

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. You really scared me this time." Wizard Coran became serious and said, "Your performance this time has probably caught the attention of many formal wizards. It's almost certain that a second-level wizard apprentice defeated a third-level wizard apprentice. More resources will be poured into and invested in you."

"On the other hand, you will also have greater pressure, and there is only one thing to do, which is to do your best to improve your strength."

The wizard's lips moved slightly, the sound was very faint, but it reached Wang Ya's mind.

"Your teacher should have told you about the Deep Blue Secret Realm, but there are some details you probably don't know."

"Besides being related to the century-long preparations of the Ultimate Wizard Apprentices and the opportunity for their breakthrough, it also concerns the situation within the Underdark. The authority and resource allocation of the twelve transcendent schools are all fixed and have reached a certain balance. If the number of Ultimate Wizard Apprentices increases, or if new formal wizards emerge, problems will definitely arise in resource allocation."

"If you get more, he'll get less. Those who already have a share will definitely not want to give it up. I estimate that chaos will arise in a hundred years. And this is just internal; outside the headquarters, other wizarding forces will probably be in the same situation."

The wizard Kolan suddenly laughed and said, "But it's still too early for you. Don't worry so much. Just focus on consolidating your path as a dream wizard."

"The lineage of wizards in our Dream School consists of just you and me. We are the fewest wizards in the school, and the number of wizards needed is not large. The internal turmoil is unlikely to affect us."

The wizard Kelan parted ways with Wang Ya midway and headed towards the Dark Library.

Wang Ya walked alone on the stone path, her eyes thoughtful.

After hearing the explanation from the wizard Kolan, and with the information he received from the wizard Huanmeng, he had roughly figured things out.

The internal and external conflicts mentioned by the wizard Kolan, their origins, and their potential development.

When internal conflicts become too intense, they can only be resolved through external conflicts.

Within the Darklands headquarters, there exist two competing factions.

The opportunity presented by the Deep Blue Mystic Realm, upon closer inspection, is indeed a catalyst for chaos.

In fact, there were many such examples in past lives, which eventually caused global chaos and disruption.

Wizards think far ahead; often, once an opportunity arises, they have already considered what will happen next and the resulting consequences.

The more powerful the wizard, the more this is true.

Formal wizards are at a higher level and have probably already seen much further.

However, one of the wizards, Kolan, made a very good point.

Wang Ya's next wizarding plan is to improve his strength as much as possible, including making up for the shortcomings of various dream wizarding techniques.

There are also more wizard rune outlines for the "Dream Recall Meditation Technique".

The Elemental Wizard path should also be pursued in sync with the Dream Wizard path, increasing the number of spells in the Flame Demon Wizardry stream.

Wang Ya has now gained some understanding of those six extraordinary knowledge areas and can attempt to study the properties and changes of particle energy. He plans to utilize the theoretical foundation from his previous life to conduct multifaceted research in this regard.

There is also the special cultivation of extraordinary magical plants to see if they can be fused with the extraordinary characteristics of the Gendass Hound.

Strength is the foundation for calmly facing all changes, and Wang Ya's current authority and resources are sufficient for research in all aspects at this stage.

Moreover, there will be a reward for winning the wizard contract tomorrow. The wizard shops in the commercial street can serve as a good platform to sell the products of Wang Ya's experiments and research in exchange for magic stone resources.

In the Dream Garden.

"Your disciple is truly impressive. A second-level apprentice fighting a third-level one is unprecedented in the Underdark." A somewhat rough male voice rang out, loud and clear. He was a muscular, bald man wearing a golden wizard's robe.

Standing at a full 2.5 meters tall and incredibly robust, it grabbed a poisonous baby with its enormous hand and shoved it into its mouth, completely ignoring the baby's cries and screams.

Even the Poisonous Water Head Baby instinctively released its emerald green venom, spraying it on its face, but to no avail. It simply wiped it off with its large hand, then chewed and swallowed it with a smacking sound.

The venom inside the Poison-Headed Baby can kill a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice instantly.

"This little frog is really strong, but it likes to pee, so it smells a bit." The burly, bald man spat, somewhat disgusted.

The Dream Wizard's lips twitched. No matter how many times he tried, he still couldn't accept this guy's personality and some of his habits.

Looking at the man's figure, whose body stretched his golden wizard robes to the point of almost tearing them apart, the Dream Wizard smiled faintly and said, "You can also find a disciple like that, but don't even think about trying to take my disciple."

The Blood Wizard curled his lip and said, "Who would want to lay a finger on your disciple? He's not manly at all, not good-looking at all, just like the face under your mask, extremely ugly."

"Looking so frail, I'm afraid that if a big storm comes, he won't even be able to stand up."

"The disciple I'm looking for must be like me: muscular, big, able to eat and drink, good at fighting, and hardworking."

With that, the Blood Wizard tore off the fabric from his arm, forcefully squeezing out his golden muscles, and grinned, "Look at these full muscles, my strong physique, this is true beauty, true power."

"It's best not to have too much hair on your face and head either. Be more masculine and have a manly air." The Blood Wizard rubbed his cheek, his face covered in stubble, his smile very honest.

The Dream Wizard was utterly speechless. Muscles my foot! Underneath that skin was nothing but incredibly hard mechanical structures. It would be a miracle if you could find even 10% flesh and blood on that body.

"Let's get down to business. Maintaining your true form in the Dream Garden has taken a toll on me," the Dream Wizard said calmly.

"I need your help with something." The Blood Wizard also became serious and said earnestly, "My disciple, Torta, is preparing to advance to the rank of a formal wizard."

"Okay, I agree." The Dream Wizard knew what the other party meant.

In the entire Dark Land, only he has the ability to provide some assistance at the level of consciousness during the advancement process.

However, it may also have some negative consequences. Advancement through the intervention of others is incomplete. Even if the advancement is successful, the strength will only be at the bottom among formal wizards.

The path of becoming a wizard was difficult to continue.

Generally speaking, ultimate wizard apprentices would not choose this method; they all have their own pride.

The path of a wizard is one that must be walked by oneself, not with the help of others.

Even if you fail to advance, it will still be a test and proof of your path, and you won't regret it.

The image of a burly wizard appeared in the Dream Wizard's mind. He had many similarities to the Divine Blood Wizard, and he was even following the same path that the Divine Blood Wizard had taken. It seemed that the Divine Blood Wizard did not have high hopes for the Limit Wizard apprentice named Lita who was advancing on his own, which was why he came to find him.

"However, you should know that during the advancement process, interference from outsiders can lead to a significant risk of failure."

"I know that. Just do your best."

The Blood Wizard sighed and said, "I owe you a favor."

"Your disciple probably doesn't have any suitable extraordinary magical artifacts, right? You can have him come to the Divine Blood Tower to find me, and I'll make one tailor-made for him."

Beneath the wooden eye-graffiti mask of the Dream Wizard, a smile curved his lips.

"Can!"

"When does the promotion begin?"

"Three months later!"
