Wizard: This mushroom is too fierce.

After Pierce's sponsorship, Roland felt he had a new perspective and thought it was time to get the various wizarding institutions in these deep crypts to sponsor him.

The Bloodflame Arena project is so perfect, isn't it much better than that Magic Hut project on that forum?

However, before doing this, Roland felt he should ask his teacher first.

Leaving his own courtyard, Roland waved to the coachman by the roadside, spent three magic stone fragments, and headed to his teacher's magic hut.

The Minotaur Quinn recently returned to his family, and it seems that Master Ashus has something important to entrust to them, so Roland has no means of transportation.

"Teacher, this is what happened. What do you think should be done?"

After Roland explained Pierce's sponsorship and his own ideas, Ashius looked thoughtful. He then looked at Roland with a complex expression and said, "Roland, your idea is very good."

"Go for it, I fully support you in doing these things."

"This is a great opportunity. If you can secure enough sponsorship for the Bloodflame Arena, I think you'll have no shortage of magic stones until you become a second-class apprentice."

Roland looked puzzled and asked softly, "Teacher...don't you need those magic stones?"

Ashius smiled and shook his head, saying with great ease, "I've entrusted the promotion of this Bloodflame Arena project entirely to you. It's your ability to secure sponsorships and obtain a large number of magic stones. I won't interfere with what you do."

"The important thing is that you need to think about how to get more people to join in. The more people join, the more magic stones I will get through this project itself."

"Thank you, teacher. I will definitely do this well." After receiving the teacher's affirmation, Roland immediately had an idea and prepared to go back and start soliciting sponsorships.

"By the way, there are two things I need to tell you!" Ashius continued, "Roland, you've done a good job. It seems that this dueling tournament is entirely possible to take place."

"Therefore, the academy has decided to give this competition a boost and provide some rewards for the ultimate winners."

"The champion's prize is the 'Radiant Elixir' and the opportunity to participate in a bloodline modification surgery that I personally oversee."

"The runner-up receives 1000 magic stones, the third-place winner receives 800 magic stones, and the remaining finalists receive 500 magic stones."

Upon hearing the reward, Roland was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this champion's reward a bit too generous?

According to the potion-making theory, the Tide Radiance Potion can increase mental strength by at least ten points after consumption, and even twenty points if the effect is good. For a person with excellent talent, this is equivalent to saving half a year of effort. If someone with poor talent obtains it, they probably will never be able to increase their mental strength by that much in their entire life.

Bloodline modification surgery is even rarer, let alone this one personally performed by a first-circle wizard who is an expert in this field!

For a moment, Roland's breathing became heavy, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to take them down.

Seeing Roland's excited expression, Ashius smiled and continued, "Roland, there's another good news."

"Although the propaganda task I assigned you is not yet complete, I and some first-ring wizards within the academy are very satisfied with your current performance. Therefore, we have decided to grant you the task reward in advance as compensation for the infamy you have suffered in this project."

"To be honest!" Ashius scratched his head. "I never expected you to promote the Bloodflame Arena this way!"

"However, the results are indeed outstanding!"

Roland smiled awkwardly. The method was indeed good, but it had attracted a lot of hatred.

"The academy's rewards will be delivered to your residence after the competition. As for my reward, I can give it to you in advance..." Ashius hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Roland thought about it and realized that he lacked a decisive means in battle.

"A decisive measure..." Ashius murmured, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a potion from his spatial ring.

"Qiulong Type IV Enhancement Potion is an enhancement potion that I researched for summoned beasts during my apprenticeship. After use, it can greatly enhance various physical indicators. I think that Puji you researched should also be able to use it."

"If you add your Frenzy Wild spell, and if your experimental results really meet the standards you mentioned, I think this potion could probably make your body strong enough to withstand a third-class wizard apprentice spell."

"Um... Teacher, this won't have any side effects, will it..." Roland looked at the bright green potion, imagining the Pujis getting injected with the potion and becoming muscle Pujis, and quickly asked cautiously.

"As long as you don't have it injected multiple times, there will be absolutely no side effects."

"However...be careful, if you inject too many times, it can lead to addiction and a significant decline in intelligence."

"Of course, there are also benefits, namely that various physical indicators will be greatly improved."

"By the way, has Karak successfully mastered the Breath of the Wind technique?"

Ashius suddenly asked.

"It's a success. It has now mastered the breathing technique," Roland said miserably. "However, the amount of magic stones it cost was enormous."

"I have designed a lot of training for him, including Lord Haik's daily guidance, combat training for a Sky Knight with wind attribute battle aura, and many potions that can improve his physical indicators."

"Fortunately, all these expenses are worthwhile. Its strength is rapidly increasing. According to my assessment, it has reached the standard of an Earth Knight. In close combat, it can completely crush an ordinary third-class wizard apprentice in three moves."

"Very good, you've done a good job." Ashius affirmed Roland's approach and then asked, "What about your experimental research?"

"I remember you said that your experiment is about to succeed. Would you be interested in having your teacher personally oversee it for you?"

Roland smiled, extended his left hand, and cast a summoning spell.

Summoning magic, as the foundational spell of the Hunter's School, is naturally powerful. It is instantaneous in casting speed, has unlimited casting range, and is not subject to any suppression or restriction. Furthermore, it comes with a small astral space where summoned creatures can slumber.

In the blink of an eye, a battle mushroom far larger than a regular puji appeared in front of the two of them, blocking Roland's path in a fighting stance and glaring angrily at the stranger before him.

"Great King!" Puji murmured, praising Roland's name. "What are your orders?"

"Are you asking me to help you slay the evil human before you?"

"Don't be impatient. This is my teacher. He wants to test your physical indicators. You just need to cooperate and don't feel resistant."

Roland gave the order, and Puji immediately retracted her fighting stance. The angry expression on her little face instantly disappeared, replaced by an expression of loyalty.

Half an hour later, Ashius completed all the tests.

After completing the test, Ashius's eyes showed interest: "Unbelievable, Roland, your growth is truly impressive."

"You actually researched and developed this mutant Puji bit by bit?"

"Its strength and speed have reached the standard of a well-trained and robust soldier in the mortal world."

"Furthermore, thanks to the characteristics of fungi and the cultivation method you adopted, it can almost survive as long as the fungal brain is not destroyed."

"Most importantly, its pain receptors are extremely weak, and it is not afraid of death. Combined with your talent, it can be said that you already have a fearless Puji army."

After finishing his analysis, Ashus looked at Roland seriously: "Thanks to your talent, you have started a project that no one has ventured into before."

"I think you can continue to work on this project, and perhaps one day it will become your signature."

"The Puji Legion?" Ashius said hesitantly, "However... there's a problem: the more powerful the creature, the more resources it consumes."

"I estimate that your magic stones will soon be spent like water."

"If your research project is to achieve sustainable development, it needs to have a profit point. You can't keep recklessly strengthening Puji's combat power."

"I suggest that when you have free time, you explore the market and see if there are any particularly good directions that can help you continuously earn magic stones through your research projects."

"Of course, you don't need to be anxious, Roland." Ashius patted Roland's head with his palm and said with a smile, "You have me behind you, a first-ring wizard. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me."

"I will always be your strongest support, and I will help you solve all your problems!"
