Wizards pursue the truth

As soon as Wang Ya finished speaking, silver plates, knives, forks, and other cutlery appeared out of thin air on the long wooden square tables in front of the many wizards present.

Meyer lifted the plate, revealing a perfectly intact steak lying flat on the surface. Before he even touched his knife and fork, the steak seemed to open its eyes and mouth, roaring angrily at him.

"What do you want to do? Eat me? How could you eat me? I'm a living, breathing person!"

Melton was stunned.

This seemed to trigger something, and the other plates on the table in front of them also made a series of noises, with their lids being repeatedly hit as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.

The steak had grown a pair of fleshy wings and was about to take off from Mair's plate. He glanced at the many formal wizards above and saw them calmly cutting their food with knives and forks, their expressions unchanged even as the steaks screamed, howled, and begged in pain. Instead, they seemed to enjoy the food as it was put into their mouths.

Meyer's face immediately turned red with shame and anger. He gripped his fork and forcefully skewered the flying steak onto the table. With his other hand, he cut the steak into dozens of thumb-sized pieces amidst the steak's screams and curses.

There were quite a few apprentice wizards who behaved like him, some even stunned, causing the resurrected food to escape their control and fly away from their location.

When they tried to retrieve it, the food creature vanished into the void and could no longer be seen.

The enjoyment other wizards showed while eating was genuine, and even the senior wizards were no exception.

This is special food; it's all good stuff.

They missed out, and they wasted their time.

The corresponding wizard's face turned ashen. He could only stare nervously at the remaining food on the plate and carefully lift the plate. No matter what was inside, he would first use a fork to pin it to the table.

Then, they slowly cut and swallowed the food with a knife. As they felt the changes in their bodies caused by the food, the expressions on their faces became increasingly grim.

An overwhelming sense of regret welled up inside me.

It can even permanently enhance one's mental strength; this is something extremely rare to obtain in life.

Presumably, this must be a specialty of the Nightmare Wizard's bubble world, and a dream creature of extremely high quality.

Green licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed and desire, the heat in them almost melting the lid of the table in front of him; he had just eaten a dream creature that looked like an ice cream, which, after being prepared by the Nightmare Wizard, was incredibly delicious and enjoyable, and brought about earth-shattering changes within his body.

It's not just dream food that permanently enhances mental strength.

Dream foods that enhance physical strength, compensate for deficiencies in the soul, and increase one's fundamental essence all exist.

Different types have different effects.

This is a gift from the Nightmare Archmage to all members of the Nightmare Scourge.

Thank you, Nightmare Wizard.

Praise be to the Nightmare Wizard.

Argus's pupils flashed with an unusual light. Only by tasting the food of his dreams could he know how it tasted. It was absolutely the most wonderful thing he had ever eaten in his life, and the most perfect food.

It is perfect in both taste and efficacy.

Even surpassing most wizard potions.

The mystery and wonder of the Nightmare Wizard were even greater than he had anticipated.

It works by relying on food, achieving effects comparable to a wizard's potion.

He frowned slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes; it seemed he had seen some information or records somewhere.

Aks's pupils suddenly contracted, somewhat shocked. Could it be...?

"Could it be that the Nightmare Wizard is also an incredibly mysterious gourmet wizard?"

The wizarding system is extensive and branching out into different sub-systems, each with its own unique characteristics and fruits.

Food wizards have always been rare, and very few wizards choose this path of development.

Even in its heyday, when the number of people in the food wizarding world was much larger than in other branches, food wizards were rare. Now, they are almost extinct, and it is difficult to find many food wizarding lineages.

"Yes, only a culinary wizard possesses such power, capable of transforming ordinary food into something comparable to a wizard's potion."

Moreover, in addition to enhancing one's fundamental strength, it can also generate certain temporary buffs during combat.

This branch of the wizarding system is very special and rare, with an exceptionally limited lineage.

Argus's eyes gleamed with surprise; he hadn't expected the Nightmare Archmage to possess such abilities.

What else is there that he can't do?

According to the known information, the Nightmare Wizard is not only an elemental wizard, but also a powerful dream wizard. Everything at present is a material reality shaped by his dream mastery.

The time required for training in a single branch of the wizarding system, the extraordinary knowledge needed to master, and the courses studied are already incredibly demanding.

The Nightmare Wizard, a dual cultivator, has achieved such astonishing success, and on top of that, he seems to be on the path of a gourmet wizard. Argus's lips curled into a bitter smile. The gap between genius and ordinary people is truly as vast as an chasm. He has even struggled on the path of an elemental wizard, finding it difficult to move forward smoothly and often encountering perplexing problems. Only with the help of Wizard Is can he suddenly see the light.

Compared to the Nightmare Wizard, the difference is truly enormous.

He dismissed some unrealistic ideas from his mind.

Trying to catch up with the Nightmare Wizard is too difficult; it's simply impossible.

His teacher, the wizard Is, had also recounted some of the deeds of the Nightmare Wizard.

He wasn't particularly moved until he saw the legendary Nightmare Wizard with his own eyes, and then he realized just how terrifying and weighty those deeds were.

Yaanlina was seated right next to Xingcai. The two exchanged glances before nodding and focusing their attention on the food in front of them.

While eating a certain food, they would exchange glances, seemingly discussing whether the food tasted good or bad.

Their relationship went far beyond that of friends.

Seated near the high platform, the blue-haired figure in a blue wizard's robe used his fingers to cut off the tip of a bamboo shoot, which trembled like jelly, yet possessed the vitality of fleshy life, making it quite unique.

A faint blue light shone in his eyes, as if he had seen through the true nature of these dream creatures.

A mysterious, ancient blue pattern faintly appeared between his brows.

"What a wonderful gift! Teacher, are you watching? I will show you my path as a wizard."

"Even if it's you, teacher, I'm confident I can surpass you."

*

*

*

Just as many wizards had guessed.

This banquet was a gift from the Nightmare Wizard.

However, this gift is a bit too generous, and it is applied to every natural disaster.

Some of the more cautious and intelligent wizards vaguely sensed something, their hearts heavy, feeling as if a storm was brewing.

You have to bear the consequences of what you gain and lose something; everything is equal and equivalent, without exception.

Even as a gift from the Nightmare Wizard, it cannot escape this fundamental nature.

The flesh and skin at the bottom of his legs separated, revealing the nozzle pipes. Energy was transported through the exposed pipes, and the vigorous propulsion brought by the plasma-state air mutation allowed the heavy body of the Blood God Wizard to break free from the constraints of ground gravity and fly directly into the air.

He looked down at the many apprentice wizards below, his bionic face, formed by replacing flesh and blood, forced a kind smile, and he looked no different from a real person.

"I think everyone is very satisfied with the feast. Next up is the exchange match that you've all been looking forward to."

"The huge platform space in the middle is your next battlefield. Once activated, the internal folding space will extend for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. If you believe you are strong enough, or if you want to exchange your witchcraft with other wizards and show your wizarding path, you can stand on it now."

"Oh, so some wizards are already impatient. You can start then."

The Blood God Wizard looked at the figure that appeared on the battlefield with some surprise.

He hadn't even noticed, not because the other party's strength had surpassed his, but because of the environment; the dream world of the Nightmare Wizard isolated too many senses and detection abilities, and he couldn't interfere with this space and overshadow it.

If he wasn't mistaken, this aloof and refined blue-haired wizard was likely following the path of a dream wizard, able to wield the power of dreams with ease in the dream world.

This allowed him to avoid some of his perceptions.

However, the Blood God Wizard was, after all, a Star Wizard. Even though he followed the path of a mechanical wizard, he still managed to detect the movement trajectory and the fading traces left by the use of dream power through the mechanical red compound eyes in his pupils.

The moment he enters the battlefield while casting a spell, he can release a portion of his aura to disrupt the stability of the opponent's spell, thus forcing the opponent to leave the dream transmission state.

The Blood Wizard smiled. "You look familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Oh, I remember now. You are the disciple of the Nightmare Wizard, named Solomon the Divine Child, right? Your strength is quite good, and your witchcraft is very interesting."

The handsome blue-haired wizard bowed slightly, expressing his respect for the Star Wizard.

"You're on the battlefield so early, don't you want to win the exchange match?"

"I am curious," the Blood God Wizard asked.

The divine son Solomon said softly, "I came for victory, and to show myself on the path of a wizard. Whether it's sooner or later makes no difference to me."

The exchange tournament is a battle between wizards, where they compete against each other and gain recognition from other wizards based on their performance on the battlefield.

Those who went first were naturally those who were not very confident in their own abilities and wanted to rely on one or two outstanding battles to demonstrate their wizarding path, gain the recognition of formal wizards, value their potential, and thus obtain investment.

Solomon, the Son of God, implied that they could fight from the very first match to the very end without any possibility of losing.

This was an absolute confidence, but to the other wizard apprentices, it seemed a bit too arrogant.

The wizard apprentice who knew the divine son Solomon looked solemn.

The more powerful a wizard is, the more reason they have for what they do, and they will not be swayed by worldly emotions.

In other words, Solomon, the Son of God, truly believed he could do it.

The smile on the Blood Wizard's face deepened, even revealing some mechanical pipes between his teeth, which spewed out a small amount of high-temperature plasma energy.

"Interesting, very interesting, Solomon, the Divine Child. Since you are so confident, I look forward to your performance. I hope you won't disappoint me and will show me something even more interesting."

"I will do it," Solomon, the Son of God, replied in a deep voice, neither humble nor arrogant, his confidence radiating from within.

"The Nightmare Wizard will also be watching this battle," the Blood Wizard said as he left the battlefield. Seeing the change in the blue-haired young wizard's expression, the Theology Wizard felt much better.

Young people shouldn't be like old fogies, cold and aloof; that would be too boring.

All eyes were focused on the center of the arena, whether on the wizarding apprentices below or the formal wizarding group above.

Some formal wizards do indeed have the idea of ​​recruiting disciples during this exchange competition.

It was mainly because he was provoked by the withered tree wizard and some formal wizards who had taken on disciples.

The hem of his blue wizard's robe fluttered in the cold wind of the naturally simulated environment. Solomon, the divine son, stood in a corner of the battlefield, silently waiting for his opponent to enter the fray.

Time passed second by second, but the wizard still hadn't taken the stage.

Perhaps it was his words that aroused the apprehension of other wizards. Many wizard apprentices had their eyes darting around, none of them wanting to be the first wizard to test the depths of the divine son Solomon.

The disciple of the Nightmare Wizard, inheriting the Burning Silence legacy, follows the dual paths of Elemental Wizard and Dream Wizard, and is an apprentice of the Ultimate Wizard. With such a great reputation, even if he is weak, he can't be that weak.

Battles between wizards are about complementarity in intelligence, combat rhythm, and raw strength. Going to the battlefield first will expose one's information; even the most mysterious witchcraft can be countered, leading to serious trouble in subsequent battles.

This is also part of the reason why the game is currently at a stalemate and no one is playing.

"It seems these little guys still lack the tempering of life and death."

The Dark Wizard's voice was cold and shrouded in a faint, dark glow, obscuring his expression.

The other formal wizards also frowned; especially those formal wizards who had taken on disciples, their expressions were not good.

Wizard Is remained silent. "Ax, would you back down even in something like this?"

"Since no one else is going to participate, let this old man assess the strength of the Nightmare Inheritor."

Gentle laughter echoed, and a green wizard's robe materialized out of thin air on the battlefield. The Green Goblin Wizard nodded slightly, expressing the basic etiquette between wizards.

Even the usually calm Solomon showed surprise as he looked intently at the Green Goblin Wizard and said, "You are very powerful. I will use all my strength to defeat you."

No other wizarding apprentices faced as much pressure as the Green Goblin.

That vague sense of crisis, yet unable to discern the true nature of the divine child Solomon, was solemn. The more he sensed it, the more he understood the Green Goblin Wizard's power. Whether it was his spirit, his body, or the fluctuations of particle energy, he could not fathom it. This meant that his control had reached its peak, a perfect perfection in all aspects, without any weakness whatsoever.

Even he is inferior in some ways.

"Your foundation and resources are simply too terrifying."

Solomon, the Son of God, frowned and couldn't help but speak out.

The wizarding apprentices watching were also surprised. This green-clad wizard didn't seem very familiar, yet he possessed the strength of a top-tier wizarding apprentice and had received such high praise from the divine son Solomon.

Only a few wizard apprentices looked moved, their eyes narrowed, as if they were recalling something.

They were all descendants of old men who had walked through the dark places, and had heard their elders talk about the past.

"The Green Goblin Wizard, is he still alive? And he's still so young. He's a wizard from the past, a wizard from the same era as my father."

"When my grandfather was alive, he told me stories about the Underdark, which included the existence of the Green Goblin Wizard."

The apprentice wizards began to discuss the matter. The wizards who could participate in this banquet all had a certain level of strength, background, and experience. They quickly compiled some information about the Green Goblin Wizard.

And a terrifying fact was revealed.

"The Green Goblin Wizard, he is actually a wizard from the same era as the Nightmare Wizard. In fact, he was already a level three wizard apprentice before the Nightmare Wizard had even grown up."

"What a joke! He's even ahead of the Nightmare Wizard! But why is he still alive?" The wizard apprentice who had spoken quickly changed his tune, his expression shifting. "Why hasn't the Green Goblin Wizard advanced to a full wizard yet? That shouldn't be the case. My father has been dead for almost fifty years."

"Shouldn't he be in the Green Goblin Wizard's form? Just how many years has he lived that even a monster like Solomon, the Son of God, is wary of him? It's simply unbelievable."

"Is this the level of skill that Nightmare Wizard's era possessed? Even followers of Nightmare Wizard have such strength."

With a chilling spiritual power, it influenced the surrounding void and forcibly condensed black particle light spots. These were even colder Fenji particle energies that concealed destructive power. The divine son Solomon slowly walked over. With each step, the particle energy behind him condensed by three points. When he took the tenth step, the Fenji particle energy had already covered the sky behind him and vaguely outlined a huge human-shaped figure.

A ribbon-like, aquamarine luster emerged from the void and coalesced into the limbs of the enormous figure, entwining them, concealed yet seemingly connected to the core of the massive energy figure.

"That is the true form of the elements, a true form of the elements that only a formal wizard can fully comprehend and use at will... The divine son Solomon actually used this trump card technique immediately; is it that the Green Demon Wizard is too powerful, or does the divine son Solomon have an even more terrifying wizardry?"

"No, the form of the elemental true form is wrong. It has not been completely solidified to form a high-frequency resonant energy body. The energy of the Burning Soul Particles should not be black. Why are they stained with blue stripes?"

A sharp-eyed wizard discovered the anomaly in the true form of the Burning Elemental.

Below the platform, many righteous wizards raised their eyebrows and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Nightmare Wizard.

"So you've developed something of your own?" The Nightmare Wizard remained calm and unmoved, simply remarking casually.

If the Burning Silence Particle Energy is the foundation of the Nightmare Dream Inheritance, then the Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy is the subsequent advancement.

Special particle energy does not remain static; with continued research and enhancement, it will become even more terrifying. Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy is the result of multiple upgrades and advancements of Burning Silence Particle Energy.

Similarly, if someone adds new variations to the energy of the Burning Soul Particles, it is possible to create new special particle energies.

This is not easy. It is essentially based on the energy of the incineration particles and needs to follow the original particle characteristics and balance rules. Once the balance is broken, it may lead to life-threatening accidents.

The Thunderfire Wizards of the Underdark's history died in a massive explosion caused by a disruption in the balance of particle energy.

Maintaining the balance is difficult, but finding more powerful properties and obtaining more powerful particle energy is equally challenging. The Burning Silence particle energy is perfect enough, which is Wang Ya's path as a wizard, and the subsequent Nightmare Annihilation particle energy is also a continuation and extension of the wizard's path.

Wang Ya could tell that his disciple did not want to follow this path, but rather wanted to forge his own new path.

The change in the true nature of the elements is that the energy of the Burning Silence particles has gained new properties.

However, it has not completely abandoned the energy of the burning particles, nor has it been completely transformed into new particle energy; it is still a little short of perfection.

Given the other party's wisdom and temperament, it's only a matter of time.

"So powerful, such a unique elemental form."

"It's probably no longer the ordinary true form of the Burning Soul element. It has been given some characteristics that I don't understand. It's a very troublesome method."

The Green Demon Wizard's eyes held a sense of reminiscence as he recalled his days in the Dark Lands. Back then, before he was the Nightmare Grand Wizard, he created the Burning Soul Particle Energy with the strength of a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, causing a stir among all the wizards in the Dark Lands; and from that time on, he stirred up the winds and clouds of the Mountain and Sea Lands.

The scenes from the past gradually merged with the enormous, primordial form of the Burning Soul element in the present.

The true form of the arm, formed from condensed energy, carried terrifying mass. When it swung, the resulting shockwaves swept up a gale and engulfed space itself. The Green Goblin Wizard's pupils dilated continuously, reflecting everything. His body seemed unable to react, and his particle energy subsided.

Those light blue ribbons of light disappeared at some point, entwined around the limbs of the energy entity.

Just as the energy fist, carrying immense mass and terrifying power, was about to strike, those azure ribbons appeared in the void and had already wrapped around the Green Goblin Wizard's limbs and body.

The true secret technique—the connection between body and mind.

True Body Secret Technique - Yuanwu Strike.

This punch was terrifying. Aquamarine patterns appeared in the center of the fist, like the tip of a sharp spear, spiraling and sharp. All the particle energy also twisted and vibrated along a specific arc and at a specific frequency.

boom!

A single strike, concentrating all its power, erupted directly.

Energy is pouring out, expanding, engulfing, and destroying everything.

This is a deadly move.

Solomon, the Son of God, never underestimated his enemies. He would seize any opportunity and go all out when he attacked.

The special elemental true form with newly added characteristics, coupled with the true form secret techniques he developed, are unprecedented methods.

At least in the knowledge passed down in the Heart of Conquest and the Dark Lands, there has never been any special modifier magic developed with the true form of the elements as the target.

He took the initiative to name it – True Body Secret Technique.

Two secret techniques: one controls the target's body and suppresses their mental consciousness, thus rendering their particle energy unusable.

One is a burst of full power.

After the attack, the vast amount of particle energy carried by the entire elemental entity will be consumed.

Solomon, the divine son, felt it wasn't safe enough, so he conjured a blue and black spear in his right hand, the particle energy being the altered version of the Burning Silence.

He did not elevate his sorcery by referencing his teacher's Spear of the Underworld, but rather he comprehended a special divine form based on the innate marking between his eyebrows.

This spear also has its own name.

—The Spear of Lonnuki

It is a spear-shaped object formed from the condensed energy of his still incompletely developed slaughter particles.

It has a certain degree of lethality.

Even with the most powerful restorative energy and healing abilities, it's all in vain.

Of course, the energy of the slaughter particles is not complete; it is only lethal to those below the level of True Spirit Wizard, and only targets the physical body.

"Green Goblin Wizard, if you're going to admit defeat, at least show signs of surrender."

Solomon, the son of God, threw his spear.

The force was light, but the speed was constant, visible to the naked eye. Every wizard had the same idea: this spear was bound to hit.

Of course, this is just an illusion. There are many conditions for a guaranteed hit, and the divine son Solomon is not yet able to guarantee a hit and kill the target.

However, locking it is enough.

The Nightmare Wizard's black eyes held a hint of surprise. He knew that his disciple had gradually begun to control that trace of the power of the rules.

"A sure-kill, absolutely deadly ability—truly a domineering power, brimming with killing intent."

"However, it can serve as a sample for my observational experiments, becoming the smallest unit of the power of rules. Perhaps this will be smaller and easier to control than the unit of the power of the Sunlight Lamp."

A smile curved Wang Ya's lips. After all, as a wizard, to master the power of rules, and to control it step by step, as if being taught without any defenses, was an experience and opportunity that he might never encounter again in his life.

Solomon, the Son of God, was his good disciple, both in terms of inheritance and experimentation, and both were excellent.

He was already very satisfied with what was being shown so far.

"Divine Child, let me see just how far you can go!"

*

*

*

boom!

The battlefield seemed to shatter. That all-out punch engulfed and pulverized everything. At the crucial moment, the Green Demon Wizard let out a low roar. The dazzling green light pierced through everything within a kilometer radius. Anything that was irradiated or touched showed signs of corrosion as if it had been corroded by the passage of time.

The elemental form of the divine son Solomon was not immune to the same fate; under the green light, it instantly turned into nothingness.

"The Great Natural Extinction Spell, I never imagined that Green Goblin actually completed the prerequisite spell for that spell."

The withered wood wizard exclaimed in surprise, her eyes gleaming with admiration. Clearly, she was very satisfied with the green demon wizard.

Upon seeing the other formal wizards, their surprised and suspicious gazes converged upon him. The withered wood wizard explained, "This is related to the Green Demon's enlightenment. Nature is full of vitality, giving life to all things, allowing them to develop, and maintaining a balanced cycle. He has taken a different path. Can he go against the grain and seek the great destruction, great annihilation, and great extinction of nature?"

"It seems he has found his own path."

"I have never heard of the methods of the Divine Child Solomon. They are comparable to some powerful Ascension spells. The Green Goblin Wizard's foundation is even deeper. This spell is not far from my core Ascension spell. I am truly ashamed."

A formal wizard spoke with a helpless smile on his face.

Of course, it may be comparable in quality, but in terms of quantity and scope, it can only be said that the Green Goblin's special magic has considerable potential.

Wang Ya was also drawn to the green light. He saw its true nature clearly; it was indeed a force in nature that symbolized destruction and annihilation.

Tsunamis, mudslides, tornadoes, earthquakes, churning lava, and desertification leading to the extinction of life—all these belong to the direction of natural destruction.

The Green Goblin Wizard also triggered some of his memories, and his gaze softened a bit.

"He has potential."

Wang Ya also had some inspiration, and perhaps she could focus on similar aspects to study the opposing forces of magic.

His current witchcraft is mostly destructive and destructive. What kind of changes would it bring if it were balanced? Wang Ya has not yet tried this, so it can be used as a preliminary experimental topic for future research and experimentation.

call out!

The wind howled, as if space itself had been sliced ​​open. The Lonnukis spear that followed was not fast, but it intervened just in time during the Green Goblin Wizard's moment of vulnerability.

That terrible extinction spell had just run out of steam, leaving only the Green Goblin Wizard, whose power had not yet been generated and who did not have time to cast any more spells.

With his pupils dilated around the dangerous blue-black spear, the Green Demon Wizard bit his lip until it bled, his internal particle energy surging out as if squeezed out, unleashing the Great Annihilation spell after the Great Annihilation spell.

Even he had not fully mastered this sorcery; he could only cast it, not control its power.

In terms of the degree of damage and danger, it will be several times more dangerous than the Great Extinction spell.

boom!

The two sides' magic clashed once more, and endless green light expanded and scattered outwards, causing the onlookers to subconsciously squint.

Everything at the center is a chaotic mess of rampant energy particles, imperceptible, unobservable, and with no definite outcome.

The green light continued to spread, and the hemispherical shape trembled, resisting the high-frequency energy particles of blue and black. Eventually, the three merged into one, and the hemispherical energy field expanded further.

The earth was cracking open, and a powerful force was eroding the soil. Three-colored light scattered in all directions, eventually enveloping even the divine son Solomon.

*

*

*

The shamanic array formed a ripple shield to isolate the outside frost and cold, but the power of the wind and snow spirits seeped in, and tiny cracks appeared on it.

This is not a problem with the magic array, nor is it that the particle energy beneath the earth is insufficient. Rather, it is that a layer of frost and ice condensed on the surface of the isolation shield has begun to crack, and the amount of wind and snow spirits flowing in is decreasing, making it impossible to repair the cracks.

"The blizzard period will likely end in three to five years. The Nightmare Wizard's all-out attack in a year is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice. Dawn is approaching, the enemy will be looking forward to it, but they will also relax and be less vigilant. In addition, the residual power of the wind and snow spirit will keep the environment chaotic and the frost will permeate the air. Perhaps the illusion and reality substitution spell array has been activated, but even the wizard of the Pale Hand will not be able to detect it."

Two wizard figures walked along a secluded street in the inner perimeter of the headquarters. A thin layer of snow covered the area, and their footprints crisscrossed far apart. The two were also talking to each other. One of them was wearing a green wizard's robe. He was the Green Goblin Wizard. His face looked somewhat listless, and his skin was exceptionally pale.

The withered wood wizard smiled and continued, "There's much more you need to know. Perhaps you'll be qualified to participate in the final assault a year from now."

The implication is that they believe the Green Goblin Wizard can advance to the True Spirit Wizard level within a year.

The war wizard banquet has ended.

The wizards returned to reality, to their respective posts, or to do what they were already doing.

The events of the exchange competition still fascinate them. Some outstanding wizard apprentices attract the attention of most people; especially wizards who have a high probability of advancing to True Spirit Wizards. Other wizard families of True Spirit Wizards have begun to try to make contact; it's all about the exchange of benefits. Some want to join them, some want to invest, and some want to win them over. After becoming a True Spirit Wizard and entering the core of the Heart of Conquest, they will eventually have to give back the corresponding benefits.

As one of the most outstanding wizards in this exchange competition, the Green Goblin Wizard is naturally one of the few with the highest chance of advancing to become a formal wizard.

After the Nightmare Wizard's private meeting with him, this "one of" may become the "only one".

He could ignore the other wizard apprentices, the disturbances of the wizarding forces, and even the opinions of other formal true spirit wizards, and could directly refuse them.

He not only demonstrated extremely high value, but also had a veteran official wizard, the "Deadwood Wizard," supporting him; in terms of strength, the Deadwood Wizard was at least in the top six of the Heart of Conquest.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Kumu."

"It's nothing, just a small matter. You should focus on gathering your true spirit as soon as possible. Only with enough power can you protect what's on you." The withered wood wizard's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

The Green Goblin Wizard's expression turned serious as he recalled what had happened after his battle with the divine son Solomon on the battlefield.

The Nightmare Wizard personally intervened, suppressing the aftershocks of their battle and the dangerous energy that was invading their bodies and minds; that unique world was not a simple bubble world, but possessed physical rules similar to those of reality.

The Green Goblin Wizard cannot know the consequences of death, physical or mental trauma; however, the intervention of the Nightmare Wizard confirms that those who die or are injured inside may indeed reflect reality.

Afterwards, part of his consciousness was extracted and condensed into a phantom spiritual consciousness, which met with the Nightmare Wizard.

"Green Goblin, you're really great, you've given me quite a surprise."

The Nightmare Wizard was shrouded in black and white light, making it impossible to see his figure or face clearly. All that could be felt was an endless aura of majesty emanating from him.

The Green Goblin Wizard could only lower his gaze and reply in a muffled voice, "Lord Nightmare Wizard, I am terrified. My performance was insignificant and not worth mentioning. I still failed to win the exchange competition and instead became the first wizard to be eliminated."

"This is not your fault. You are very strong. Even among the wizards in the exchange competition, you can occupy the top three positions. There are not many people stronger than you on a single level, and some are even weaker than you. The methods you use are also somewhat special."

The Nightmare Wizard's words were gentle and smiling, "I can see that you're still not satisfied, and you obviously haven't used all your methods."

The Green Goblin Wizard knew, of course, that this was the Nightmare Wizard's way of comforting him; a loss was a loss, and there was no need to look for any other excuses.

"I want to make a deal with you. The choice is yours. I will use one Legendary Blood Potion from the Legendary Series in exchange for your insights and understanding of the Great Annihilation, Great Destruction, and Great Devastation sorcery, as well as the path of the wizard."

The Nightmare Wizard got straight to the point, stating his purpose. He also remarked that new talents emerge in every generation, and every wizard has their own unique strengths. Even wizards who haven't shown their potential or strength in the past can still forge their own path to glory as long as they stay true to themselves and possess a powerful wizard's heart.

To prepare for the experimental course, he needed to collect data and supporting information, so he simply approached the original owner of the body directly.

"In addition, I have a follow-up experimental course that you can participate in as an observer."

The Green Goblin Wizard was still feeling joy and excitement about the legendary Blood Potion, but the Nightmare Wizard's next words left him completely stunned; he had participated in an experimental course with a Star Wizard, and the most powerful and knowledgeable one at that.

What a benefit this is! Even the other formal wizards, including his teacher, the Deadwood Wizard, would be happy and joyful.

His eyes immediately burned with fervor, and his heart pounded. Without any hesitation, he bowed to express his respect and said, "I will follow the arrangements of Lord Nightmare Wizard."

"How's it going? What's your chance of condensing your true spirit?"

The withered wood wizard was also curious and asked.

The Green Goblin Wizard snapped out of his reverie and chuckled, "It won't fail."

His words were firm and confident.

The withered wood wizard was surprised. If it wouldn't fail, then it would be a perfect success. Not many wizards could make such a bold claim when condensing their true spirit.

However, considering that the Green Goblin Wizard had spoken with the Nightmare Wizard and made some deals to obtain those things, she could understand.

"Excellent." The withered wood wizard nodded and turned to walk into the void.

The Green Goblin walked down alone, his figure gradually disappearing at the end of the street.

His foundation and resources were more solid than ever before, and with the legendary blood potion, he couldn't think of any reason why he could fail to break through.

It's simply a matter of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential, a natural and inevitable process.

Just as taking a step forward and stepping out of this icy, snow-covered road will lead to a wider and more expansive path ahead.

At the same time, Wang Ya also began to bring the illusory sword under the control of the bubble world. The dream chains condensed by the black fission path connected along the trajectory of the illusory-real replacement array and went deep into the sword nurturing array.

P.S.: Let's see if I can write another 5-word chapter.
