Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 55 [55] Ascension to the Dark Lands

A few birds mutated by radiation roamed among the city buildings, emitting clear, low calls.

Wang Ya could see the people walking on the street below, adjusting their clothes, or making subtle movements like moving their fingers. His five senses had been greatly enhanced after his mental strength was improved, thanks to the Nightmare Flower.

The extent of the improvement was far beyond his expectations.

[Note: This use of Nightmare Flower has increased mental strength by 1.2. Current mental strength: 8.8]

He's not far from becoming a first-level wizard apprentice. The remaining wizard runes from the Vast Ocean Meditation Technique will definitely support his advancement, and may even exceed it by a considerable margin.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Unfortunately, while the Nightmare Flower is highly effective, it can only be taken once in a lifetime.

He unearthed his deepest fear, confronted it, and conquered it. Taking it again would no longer produce a similar effect. He couldn't afford extraordinary resources that offered no side effects, no limitations, and enhanced mental power—things that even established wizards valued immensely.

Nightmare flowers may be rare, but a continuous supply is available on the market, making them a renewable resource.

I have considered using the Golden Pocket Watch to reverse the use of extraordinary resources like Nightmare Flowers. It should be feasible, as you can only reverse it once a day. As long as you keep the raw materials you've used, you can get a new extraordinary resource.

Wang Ya held the Nightmare Flower in her hand, which had lost all its extraordinary fluctuations and colors.

As he turned the gold pocket watch, the Nightmare Flower disappeared, but he found it again in the silver bracelet; it was still unused.

A smile curved Wang Ya's lips. Using it for profit might not work, but it could continuously produce the extraordinary resources Wang Ya needed.

It can also play an indispensable role in critical moments. A chance to have an extra life!

The improvement in strength undoubtedly brought Wang Ya great joy. He spent an hour in his room that morning further enhancing his particle energy units and achieving a relative balance in the degree of radiation from his physical body.

[Target: Wang Ya]

【Mental Power: 8.8】

[Physical Fitness: 7.3]

Particle Energy: 4.4 units

[Wizard Meditation Method: Vast Ocean (Basic)]

[Wizard Runes: Five]

[Extraordinary Cultivated Creature: Harak (Low-level)]

[Mastery of witchcraft: Fearful Flames, Crimson Heat, Fire Element Particle Energy Shield, Imperceptible Dissipation.]

[Witchcraft Artifacts: Shadow Assassin Blade (Low Grade), Silver Bracelet, Dream Remnant Mask, Force Field Gem]

The most obvious change is the increase in particle energy units.

It is directly related to the casting of witchcraft and the enhancement of strength.

Wang Ya has already achieved the goal of maintaining a certain level of combat strength after releasing the three witchcraft techniques.

Among the new students enrolled in the entire Dark Land, there should be beings stronger than him, but their numbers are definitely not many.

He has a certain level of confidence, which allows him to gain a foothold in the shadows.

A hint of reminiscence surfaced in Wang Ya's eyes, recalling the scenes of him on the wizard's ship and in the ancient forest, where he had done his utmost to master and learn.

It's difficult and lonely to persevere alone, and you have to maintain the most rational state at all times. It's not that he has no desires, or that he doesn't want to indulge, but rather that he has greater desires and stronger ambitions.

Becoming a formal wizard is his primary goal in life right now.

Wang Ya thought of the unconscious Green Forest spirit and the Wizard of Yi Si's attitude towards him as a tool, implying that he must have the ability to control his own destiny and change the destiny of others.

Ancient Forest Mountain is a thing of the past. The real test lies in the Dark Wizarding Academy, the true wizarding world.

Wang Ya had already begun preparations for this.

Time is running out. In two hours, we will arrive at the teleportation array in the center of Wizard City. The Transformation Potion requires a quiet environment and a certain amount of time to undergo transformation. Green Forest's soul also needs a similar environment for nurturing.

Wang Ya planned to find a suitable place to live in the dark before making any further plans.

Walking from the corridor to the side banquet hall of the mansion, Wang Ya also thought about whether entering the Dark Wizard Academy would mean facing one of the most important choices a wizard should make.

That is the direction to take when choosing the path of a wizard.

The spacious room was filled with dining tables, white candles, silver plates, and washcloths. Young and beautiful maids, dressed in maid's skirts, moved about carrying trays, placing food on each table.

Wang Ya arrived a little late. There were quite a few people sitting at the table, and many had already left the mansion after finishing their meal.

His appearance immediately stirred up the freshmen, who kept glancing over at him, whispering among themselves.

"The Demon King Ama used a healing potion to save people? That's outrageous."

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. A bottle of extremely valuable extraordinary potion was given to an ordinary human. It was an equivalent exchange between wizards, and he got a useless gold pocket watch in return."

"What is this? Atonement? Or is it that Oni-Man Wang Ya's fake compassion has kicked in? When he killed so many people, why didn't he show any remorse? It's so fake and such a waste. Who would believe this useless act?"

There weren't many empty tables. Gray waved from a corner, a smile on his face revealing his yellowed teeth.

Wang Ya then sat down in the specially reserved seat. Besides Gray, there was another man and a woman sitting at the table. Their expressions were not as tense and awkward as those of other ordinary freshmen; instead, they carried a sense of anticipation.

He ate his food in silence, when Gray's enthusiastic voice rang in his ears, "Last time at Gulin Mountain, I promised to introduce you to two new friends, but so much has happened that I almost forgot."

"Hello, Wang Ya, my name is Tatsumi Mas K. You can just call me Mas or Tatsumi." He was about fifteen years old, with brown hair and a dignified face. You could feel his youthful enthusiasm as he spoke.

A pretty figure dressed in a light blue wizard's robe, with soft, long gray hair and a blush on her round face, seemed a little shy. She glanced at Wang Ya, who was nodding slightly to Tatsumi, before mustering her courage to speak: "My name is Mona."

Gray said, "My brother, King Yaharak, you two should know him. He is the strongest among the new students of Gulin Mountain, the Demon King Yaharak."

"Now we've met, hey Wang Ya, give me some face and smile." Gray winked at Wang Ya.

Wang Ya: "."

"Hello everyone!" Wang Ya's lips moved, but the act of tearing and chewing food didn't stop.

"King Ya, it's so exciting to meet such an outstanding new wizard!" Mas said with a joyful smile.

Mona nodded in agreement, like a woodcutter following a bow.

The wizard teleportation array is located behind the city lord's mansion in the Vast Ocean Wizard City, and is patrolled and guarded by a team of law enforcement wizards. As for the positions in the city lord's mansion, including those managing a wizard city, they are mostly appointed by the Dark Lands headquarters, and are in the form of long-term wizard missions.

As the frequency of particle energy fluctuations became increasingly violent, all the new students within the teleportation array felt an irresistible pressure attempting to crush their bodies. Some with weaker physical attributes fainted on the spot, but Wang Ya frowned; his physique was strong enough to withstand it.

Their gazes fell upon the three figures clad in wizard robes in front of the radiant white light, who did not even tremble.

Sizzle! The white light was too dazzling, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the magnificent building assaulted his senses, and the natural particle energy, like vaporization, seemed to be trying to squeeze into his nostrils.

For a moment, he was stunned and could only stare blankly at everything in front of him.

This is the wizarding realm—the Underdark!
