Wizard Immortal

Chapter 80 Shortened Time

"It took me more than a year to go from entering the academy to becoming a second-class apprentice, even with the help of a chip."

Sitting on the bed, Adir muttered to himself, "This speed is a bit excessive for my fourth-grade aptitude, but it shouldn't cause any trouble."

Previously, when Adir was promoted to first-class apprentice, he was worried that the speed of his promotion would arouse suspicion from others, so he deliberately wasted three months of time not meditating.

However, this practice becomes unnecessary once one reaches the first-class apprentice stage.

Once a wizard apprentice reaches the first rank, they can use many methods, including potions and magic spells, to help them advance quickly.

Some apprentices from powerful families even have the financial means to hire formal wizards for guidance and correction, and their advancement speed is incomparable to that of ordinary apprentices.

In comparison, although Adir's promotion speed is also very fast, it may not be considered top-tier compared to these people.

"However, once you reach the second-level apprentice level, you will have already mastered all thirty-six mental runes in the basic meditation method. After that, the speed of increasing your mental strength will be much slower."

Thinking of this, Adir felt somewhat helpless.

This is purely a grind-down process. After advancing to the second-class apprentice level, the effectiveness of basic meditation techniques will weaken considerably, and the rate of increase in mental strength will become ridiculously slow.

Without sufficient resources to accelerate meditation, even the strongest fifth-grade aptitude would have to remain at this stage for a very long time.

"Fortunately, my aptitude is fourth-class, and I'm not too old yet. Even if I just rely on hard work, I should be able to reach the standard for promotion to third-class apprentice within a few years."

With this thought in mind, Adir felt reassured and then looked to the side.

In my mind, a countdown silently appeared, the time on it gradually disappearing until it reached zero.

"…Database collection complete, psychoanalysis finished, shall we digitize it?"

The voice of the chip machinery echoed in my mind once more.

Hearing this voice, Adir's face lit up with a hint of joy: "Update body data!"

"Name: Adir Fakus. Strength: 11.2. Agility: 11.4. Constitution: 11.5. Spirit: 4.2."

In an instant, a familiar data panel appeared before Adir's eyes, but compared with the previous data, there was an additional attribute: Spirit.

When Adir first entered the academy and acquired the meditation technique, he had the chip set up a task to collect data by observing his mental fluctuations during meditation and then analyze it using the chip's enormous computing power, hoping to accurately quantify his mental energy for better observation. Now, that task has finally been completed.

"Chip, build a database, and analyze the requirements for advancing to the third-level apprenticeship!"

Looking at his own body data, Adir gave an order to the chip.

"Database established..." In an instant, the voice of the chip's mechanical components rang in my mind.

"Expected requirements for promotion to third-class apprentice: Mental strength of 5, mastery of at least one spell template..."

Hearing the voice from the chip in his mind, Adir got off the bed and a smile appeared on his face.

Memory chips are his biggest advantage over other apprentices.

With a chip possessing immense computing power, he could fully simulate the conditions required for advancement, thus finding his way forward at the fastest speed, unlike other apprentices who had to carefully explore as they did.

While the path of a wizard is powerful, it is fraught with unknowns, and a single misstep can lead to irreversible consequences. However, for Adir, who possesses a memory chip, the chip's powerful computing capabilities allow him to avoid many mistakes, and this advantage grows stronger as he progresses.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the other world he had once visited.

In his mind, with a thought, a world coordinate quietly emerged, manifesting as a world gate in his mind, which appeared somewhat dim at this moment.

These are the coordinates of the post-apocalyptic world. Since Adir returned to this world, it has been in a charging state and has not yet returned.

"Time is getting shorter..."

Having sensed the feedback from it, Adir, standing still, suddenly froze.

Back then, after returning to this world, he had sensed it once through some kind of instinct, and the result was that he needed five years to recharge. Now, only a little over a year has passed since then.

However, the speed at which Adir's power is accumulating is slowly increasing, and he will only need another three years to accumulate enough power.

"Could it be that the speed at which this power accumulates is related to my spirit or even my soul? So, after I advanced to the second-class apprentice level, the speed at which my power accumulated also increased accordingly."

At this thought, Adir's eyes lit up.

This discovery was very important to him.

Every new world inevitably contains a wealth of unique resources. For Adir, if he could enter other worlds and acquire those abundant resources, he could go much further on the path of a wizard.

"The path of a wizard is related to the soul and spirit. If the speed of energy accumulation is determined by this, then one day, the speed of energy accumulation will become faster and faster, even to the point that it will allow me to travel freely to other worlds."

"However, the specifics will only be known after I reach the third-level apprenticeship level."

Looking at his physical attributes, Adir thought to himself.

Standing quietly in place, after calming down, Adir opened the door to the room and walked outside.

It was already afternoon, and many apprentices were walking around the accommodation area, looking hurried and not greeting anyone around them.

Adir had gotten somewhat used to this situation.

Wizards are generally not good at communicating with people, and they tend to be rather cold towards others unless they are acquaintances.

"Judging by the time, it's time for Wizard Simora's potion class again this afternoon."

As Adir walked, he thought to himself, "What will be my classes this afternoon?"

After more than three months, Adil has almost finished the free and advanced courses in Pharmacy, and will soon be able to advance to the paid courses.

After walking to the lecture area and approaching the familiar classroom, Adir calculated the time and went straight into the classroom.

He was stunned.

In the spacious classroom, rows of desks and chairs are arranged there, and they look to be very well preserved.

At the front of the classroom, Simora, dressed in a black robe, stood quietly on the platform, her thin figure appearing so frail in the empty, spacious classroom.

Seemingly sensing Adir's presence, Simora slowly turned around and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

He was stunned.
