Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 96 [96] Advanced Knowledge Life-or-Death Battle, Foreign Wizard (6200)

"It seems this competition in the secret realms is going to get interesting." Wizard Shoggoth smiled and looked at Wizard Denor, who sat calmly beside him, saying, "Old Denor, what's your opinion?"

"How can I see? I see with my eyes," the wizard Denor thought to himself, somewhat annoyed.

Of course, he would still give face to Hughes, the chief of the White Bone faction, so he solemnly said, "The Dark Cultivation Project is related to the plans of formal wizards and the future development direction of the Dark Lands. It may not be as great as the wizarding technology revolution brought about by mechanical wizards on the Wizarding Continent, but it can affect many wizarding forces in the surrounding area."

To be precise, it is an opportunity, an opportunity to break the current balance.

It might cause even greater chaos, resulting in the deaths of many mortals, and even wizards.

Similarly, if the opportunities that arise are seized, it will be a tremendous benefit to the surrounding wizarding forces.

"However, there have been quite a few frictions in the border area recently, with wizards from other forces suspected to have appeared. So far, wizards from the 'Natural Ring Tower' and the 'Ocean Corridor' have been discovered."

The wizard Denor thought of something and casually mentioned it.

Wizard Shoggoth also knew this, and even knew some details more thoroughly than Wizard Denor.

He chuckled, "Once the water gets murky, more and more people will want to fish by chance. As for whether they can catch any fish, that depends on their own skills."

However, these matters are not for them to decide; the many official wizards above naturally have the necessary preparations.

What he was concerned about at the moment was the lower house wizard who had rejected the plan to support Wizard Is.

It is unusual in itself for a wizarding apprentice from the Lower House to refuse an invitation from the Upper House's transcendental school.

Wizard Shoggoth sensed something fishy. There were many possibilities, but no matter which one, the ultimate goal was the same: a spot.

"Interesting. Was it the wizarding families who made a move, or some other extraordinary school?"

Everything has value. Since this lower house wizard refused, it means that the value offered by the Bone Clan was not high enough.

There were others who offered even greater value.

Wizard Shoggoth simply stopped thinking about it; after all, he was just a new student in the Lower House, nothing to worry about, and three spots weren't a lot.

Whatever the twists and turns, it has little to do with the White Bone Clan; their main plan is still in the Upper House.

Once the advantage is established, bringing back one or two spots in the lower house is merely icing on the cake.

"Little Is is really something. She could have just made a move on the board. Why go to all this trouble?" Wizard Shoggoth finished his drink and stood up from his chair.

Currently, their formidable rivals are the powerful figures within those wizarding families, and the numerous ultimate wizard apprentices, whose strength and numbers are not far behind those of the school's lineage.

"I'm leaving now. I need to find old man Saiya and that cold-blooded woman Eileen to discuss the follow-up arrangements." As he left, Wizard Shoggoth said to Wizard Denor, "I'll leave some matters concerning the Bone School to you, old Denor."

"I have complete faith in you. When I die of old age and step down, you will be the next chief."

Wizard Denor: "."

Comparing the lifespans of an elderly level three wizard apprentice with that of a prime-age, high-level wizard apprentice...

The laboratory door slowly opened, and a figure dressed in a black wizard's robe walked out.

A smile graced his fair and handsome face, and his aura was stronger than ever before, yet it didn't seem out of place; it was clear that he had been in a state of breakthrough for some time.

As the blue light in her pupils flickered, a familiar perspective appeared before Wang Ya.

[Target: Wang Ya]

[Mental Strength: 11 (Level 1 Wizard Apprentice)]

[Physical Fitness: 9.5]

Particle energy: 6.8 units

[Wizard Meditation Method: Vast Ocean (Nine Tokens)]

[Magic Stones: 3500]

The days of research and study always pass by very quickly.

I mastered the fundamental advanced subjects completely in just one month.

The ninth wizard rune of the Vast Ocean Meditation Method has also been successfully drawn.

Wang Ya prepared to go to the academy's management building to purchase new advanced courses from Wizard Jialan, and also to the resource management office to collect the rewards for the target mission.

The opportunity to choose the Land of Inheritance will not be used for the time being. This is an extremely rare opportunity. Some extremely precious and high-end wizard knowledge can be exchanged for with Dark Points, which is astronomical.

The fact that you can choose for free is really appealing.

Wang Ya needs to think things through carefully before making a decision and using it effectively.

Those two thousand dark points can meet the needs for a long time.

He also had no shortage of magic stones, and could purchase advanced meditation techniques from the ancient wizard Gusayi. He also had access to purchase some low-level witchcraft knowledge and basic knowledge books.

The Resource Management Office is located on the east side of the commercial street, which is quite far from the Dark Wizard Academy. The further you walk, the fewer wizards there are, and the buildings on both sides of the road become taller, giving people a sense of oppression and seriousness.

Finally, a huge, vertical, rectangular building appeared before Wang Ya's eyes.

There weren't many wizards coming and going. As for quest rewards, if you don't need them immediately, it's much more convenient to accumulate them over several quests and then collect them all at once.

Somewhat similar to the first floor of the Dark Library, the lending process takes place in a separate small room, with the entire process automated by the Wizard Technology Intelligent Hub.

The same applies to task rewards and resource exchanges.

Wang Ya placed his palm close to the technologically advanced mechanical wall, and the wizard's mark automatically interacted with it.

Soon, his wizard identity information clearly showed an additional A-level indicator mission record, as well as two thousand Dark Points.

The quest rewards from the Dream Garden Secret Realm and the Land of Heritage are also transmitted to the Wizard Mark by the Wizard Technology Hub of the Resource Management Office.

It's more like a piece of hardware that receives, stores, and transmits information. Without the wizard's mark, one cannot be considered a member of the Underdark.

Within the territory of this headquarters, the underground witchcraft array possesses this type of detection capability.

This effectively prevents the possibility of outside wizards infiltrating the community.

Even if Wang Ya is influenced by the evil god Gendass and his body is possessed by Gendass's hound, the wizard's mark will detect the abnormal mental state of the corresponding wizard when entering the Dark Land, and the information fluctuations will alert the wizards of the main force in advance.

Who knows, the next day, as soon as he wakes up, an enforcement wizard will come to investigate, or a formal wizard will descend from the sky, slap him unconscious, and drag him to the laboratory for dissection and research.

[Target: Dog of Gendas - Flesh Bulb Stage]

[Estimated analysis time: 60 days]

On the way to the management building, the faint blue light slowly receded in Wang Ya's pupils.

Over the course of a month, the continuous collection of knowledge and information from the library has led to a tremendous transformation of the Eye of Truth, allowing some of the original planned schedules to be brought forward.

Wang Ya also plans to select a Gendaz dog in the next few days to conduct a variable testing experiment.

His extraordinary foundation, while not exceptionally outstanding, was incredibly solid; no wizard could find any flaws in it.

It can be considered an experiment. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, the most important thing is to determine whether he has the ability to conduct personal wizard experiments.

"Come in!" A lazy voice came from inside the room.

Compared to the last time we met, Wizard Garan's hair was even greasy and tangled. He lay on the chair by the window, mouth wide open, yawning.

When I stretched, my flat chest tried its best to straighten up, but there was still not much change.

"Respected Wizard Garan, I wish to purchase an advanced transcendent course." Wang Ya bowed slightly and stated his purpose directly.

"Have I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar, but I can't quite place you." Wizard Garan glanced at Wang Ya's face, narrowed his eyes, seemingly trying to recall, but ultimately couldn't remember. He simply chuckled and said, "Never mind, you little guys from the lower courtyard all look exactly alike."

"The strong presence of wizards is completely absent in you."

Wang Ya: "."

Wang Ya knew what the other party meant. Every living thing has bioenergy, biofield, and biomagnetism.

The wizard's strong presence is due to his overly powerful bio-field, which thus suppresses the external bio-magnetic field.

Other life forms will inevitably turn their attention to it.

Of course, with Wang Ya's current strength, if he wanted to, he could destroy the biofield of an ordinary person through his own biofield, causing various adverse reactions.

When witchcraft is applied to an enemy, this is also the type of reaction that occurs.

What the eyes see and the ears hear are all feedbacks from the self's biofield to the external biofield.

The powerful wizards emitted radiation energy that caused illness and death in mortals.

That's because the biofield is too powerful, so powerful that even if it is controlled, the fragile biofield of a weak mortal will be damaged and affected, losing its self-regulating biomagnetism.

"A total of four hundred magic stones."

The huge sum of 3,500 magic stones made Wang Ya readily hand over his wizard card.

This surprised Wizard Garan. Through the interaction information of the wizard mark, the corresponding extraordinary course permissions had been recorded, and he knew that the little guy in front of him was a freshman who had just enrolled.

In just four or five months, they've already started studying advanced and extraordinary subjects?

She recalled that when she was younger, she didn't seem to be this quick. It took her more than a year to try to take advanced courses.

"These young people nowadays are really something else, they're all monsters."

He slumped back into the chair like Ge You, as if rooted to the spot, his limbs hanging limply. Wang Ya seemed to see an aura of laziness emanating from the wizard Garan.

He coughed and bowed slightly, saying, "Lord Garan, I shall take my leave now."

The door closed gently, leaving only the wizard Garan lounging in a chair, basking in the sunlight streaming in from the window, his fair skin flushed.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her expression becoming somewhat excited. Her aura erupted unconsciously, instantly turning some objects in the room into dust.

The wizard's face instantly turned bitter. "No way, my allowance is gone again."

Looking at the mess in the office, Wizard Garan rubbed his forehead and said through gritted teeth, "It's all that bastard Yi Si's fault. If the news of his going to the battlefield hadn't reached my wizard mark, how could my particle energy have fluctuated out of control?"

"No, I have to get compensation from him, and while I'm at it, I'll see how much this grumpy guy has improved." The wizard Garan actually stepped onto the window and jumped out.

The circle of extreme wizard apprentices is not large; there are only so many wizards of this kind in the entire Underdark.

Once something happens, it will spread among people.

It was common knowledge long ago that Wizard Yi Si and several third-level wizard apprentices from the Bai Lin family had gone to the battlefield for a life-or-death duel.

The fight is finally starting today.

The Limit Wizard apprentices who went to watch were not limited to Wizard Garan; many Limit Wizard apprentices from the same school went as well.

There were also quite a few extreme wizard apprentices from the Wizarding Family Alliance present.

They weren't looking forward to how intense the battle would be; they already knew what the final outcome would be.

Rather, it was to assess the strength of Wizard Yi Si, and even the entire White Bone lineage, and to determine just how far this Second-in-Command of the White Bone lineage had progressed.

There is also competition among the apprentices of the ultimate wizard, as it concerns certain resources necessary for advancing to become a full-fledged wizard.

This needs to be decided by force.

Many wizards only hoped that the Bailin family could put in more effort and hold out for a while longer, ideally forcing out Wizard Yi Si's true strength.

In fact, after the destruction of the two major families of Gulin Mountain, the wizards of the Bailin family and the Zijinhua family in the Dark Lands were already destined to be eliminated.

Although there is no apparent investigation on the surface, and there are no specific rules or regulations for investigation, since violating the rules does not directly include them.

But beneath the surface, it wasn't just the school of thought that was pulling the strings; the Wizarding Family Alliance was also behind it all. The current life-or-death battle is a direct result of this manipulation.

They knew their chances of survival were slim, but they had no right to refuse; they could only hope to survive the battle.

Wang Ya walked briskly through the academy garden. At the freshman assembly a few months ago, all the freshmen exchanged wizard identity information with the wizard Gusayi.

He had informed the ancient wizard of his purpose in advance through the wizard's mark, and the wizard had agreed.

This direction leads to the duty building of the Dark Wizarding Academy. Wizards who have extraordinary courses scheduled for the day usually prepare for their lessons or take a break inside.

A figure dressed in a black wizard's robe walked from the front of the road. The cold wind made the garden vegetation tremble, and as the robe billowed, the scar on the figure's face was very obvious.

It's an ancient Sai wizard!

Wang Ya was stunned. What was going on? The possibility of her personally coming out to see him was simply impossible; there must be another reason.

He stopped in his tracks. The other person was also very fast. Seeing Wang Ya bow slightly in greeting, the wizard Gusai smiled and said with a meaningful look in his eyes, "You've come at just the right time. Wizard Yisi is going to have a life-or-death battle with the third-level wizards of the Bailin family and the Zijinhua family today. If you're not in a hurry, come with me to watch."

"As for what you want to buy, you can take care of it on the way," the sorcerer Gusayi said with a light laugh. "Today is going to be quite lively!"

Wang Ya's eyes flickered slightly; so that's what it was all about.

He was tempted.

They agreed.

An opportunity to fight between a top-tier wizard apprentice and numerous third-tier wizard apprentices is rare and precious.

It can also lead to valuable data collection.

Perhaps it can even provide some inspiration for Wang Ya's path as a wizard and the improvement of witchcraft.

The Eye of Truth's ability to perceive and observe has improved significantly.

The wizarding students in the lower house simply did not have the ability to understand this level of combat.

Entering the battlefield to watch also requires consuming magic stones or dark points.

The amount of magic stones and dark points consumed varies depending on the battlefield.

The battlefield for ultimate wizard apprentices is undoubtedly the most expensive, since the more they demonstrate in battle, the more the watching wizards can understand and even make targeted preparations.

The invitation from the ancient wizard Gusayi, unlike entering alone, does not require paying magic stones or dark points.

This is probably the advantage that comes with one's status and position.

The battleground is not located in the Upper House or Lower House area, but is housed in a separate area.

Created using wizarding technology, it features folded interior spaces, creating different battlefield environments for players to choose from.

The damage caused by the battle needs to be repaired, which is a lot of work and has led to the creation of the corresponding profession of wizard.

When Wang Ya arrived with the ancient wizard Gu Sai, there were already quite a few wizards waiting in front of a huge, blood-stained ancient stone gate at the entrance to the battlefield.

They wore wizard robes of various colors, with different body types and generally had cold expressions, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay, but their auras were not perceptible.

They all looked ordinary.

Wang Ya subconsciously observed it with his Eye of Truth.

The faint blue glimmer in his pupils vanished abruptly, like a flame that had been blown out.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

What a joke!

Surprisingly, they were all Limitless Wizard Apprentices, and there were even fewer Level 3 Wizard Apprentices present than Limitless Wizard Apprentices.

The ancient wizard patted Wang Ya on the shoulder and said somewhat solemnly, "From now on, keep quiet. Some of the guys here, even I, are finding this very troublesome."

Wang Ya nodded quickly.

The arrival of the two did not elicit any reaction, but they did take a few extra glances at Wang Ya. It was truly rare for a first-level wizard apprentice to appear here.

Wang Ya was under immense pressure and almost unleashed his own particle energy. Fortunately, those gazes weren't particularly special; they were just casual glances.

Windwalker and Lando were also among the group, and they walked towards them.

Windwalker Wizard chuckled and said, "It seems that Wizard Is's arena has really attracted a lot of attention, even you have come."

Lando the Wizard remained lazy, yawning sleepily. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm the one who didn't want to come, okay? What's so interesting about this battle? I'd rather rest a bit more."

"No matter how much you watch, if you can't beat them, you can't beat them. It's useless. The gap is too big."

The Windwalker Wizard's face, half-hidden beneath his golden mask, twitched slightly as he looked at Wang Ya and said curiously, "This little guy looks familiar. I think I've seen him on the wizard ship before."

The ancient shaman smiled and said, "A very special little fellow, named King Yahalak."

Lando the Wizard stared wide-eyed at Wang Ya as if he were a rare sight, looking him up and down.

The Windwalker Wizard instantly recalled all the information related to the evil god incident and immediately understood some of the Ancient Sai Wizard's intentions.

He nodded to Wang Ya and then stopped talking, waiting instead.

Wang Ya met Lando Wizard's gaze expressionlessly, but the latter couldn't help but say, "I don't see anything special about you. You seem so ordinary. How come you're so amazing that you were able to experience the evil god incident and bring back so much information intact?"

Lando the Wizard picked at his eyes, looking dejected. "I guess it won't be long before I'm eliminated too, constantly surpassed by you ridiculous newcomers, becoming just a background figure."

Wang Ya: "."

The ancient wizard walked a distance ahead, and Wang Ya followed suit.

Windwalker clenched his fist, restraining himself, and nudged Lando the Wizard, who was still muttering to himself, with his elbow.

The latter also shut up, simply because more than a dozen figures walked over, divided into two groups.

The former was surrounded by members of the White Bone School, and the leader was the cold-faced wizard Yi Si.

The latter were four figures surrounded by members of the wizard family, but their faces were extremely grim. This was not a surrounding at all; it was clearly a way to keep an eye on them.

Kazeantuan walked at the forefront alongside the wizard Yisi, and his imposing presence was not much weaker.

Almost no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Before the stone gate, stained with blood and bearing the marks of ancient times, Wizard Yi Si, under the watchful eyes of those present, was the first to extend his right hand.

"The battleground is now open. Participants, please make your choice between 'life' and 'death'." A cold, neutral voice echoed from the stone gate.

Wizard Is, her expression indifferent, said, "Fight to the death!"

Under the pressure of Kazeantuen's gaze, the two members of the Bailin family and the two members of the Zijinhua family gritted their teeth and stepped forward, placing their palms on the stone door.

The cold touch and the faint smell of blood made their bodies tremble involuntarily.

Under the scrutiny of many indifferent gazes, they roared in unison, "Fight to the death!"

Boom!

Something seemed to have changed inside the stone gate, emanating a sound similar to the ringing of an ancient bell.

"Information confirmed. Deathmatch personnel, please confirm the deathmatch agreement and confirm the battle rules," the voice continued.

Kazeantun and the wizard Is had discussed this point: a countdown timer rule. They would engage in a deathmatch within a certain time limit, and the battle would end when the time was up.

The main reason these four were able to participate in the deathmatch was this.

They were level three wizard apprentices; there was no reason why four of them together couldn't last ten minutes.

As long as you persevere, you can survive and have a future.

An unprecedented glimmer of hope shone in the eyes of the four.

"There is another rule: the use of any magical artifacts or other means is not allowed; one must fight solely on one's own."

Wizard Is's expression remained unchanged. He glanced indifferently at the four of them, and his lips moved slightly. "Agreed. Let's start the war."

I drank two cans of Red Bull yesterday, and ended up waking up at 5 pm today. Without further ado, here's the second update (12,000 words). The next chapter will be before midnight.
