Wizard's Journey

Chapter 102 Unknown Knowledge

Three days later, Green, who had been flying at full speed in the sky, suddenly stopped.

"Hmm? This sudden sense of familiarity in my body..." Green frowned and murmured, slowly extending a palm to draw out magic power. As his five fingers made some irregular movements, it was as if some invisible strings were vibrating in the air, and a spatial fluctuation appeared silently.

The next moment, a twisted cone-shaped mark was silently imprinted on the ground in the distance.

Green looked at the ground and was overjoyed at the spatial attack technique he had just mastered.

This attack method was the same spatial attack that Yunli casually used when she briefly fought against Green during the newcomer trial. At that time, her silent attack was so effective that it was impossible to defend against, and the attack power was not low.

Currently, Green's 40 points of mental energy are only enough to activate this spatial ability to about 80 degrees due to insufficient proficiency. However, as Green's understanding of space deepens, the degree of this silent spatial distortion attack will definitely be higher. Green is confident that he can improve it to over 130 degrees in two years.

Of course, this is just a sneak attack tactic, and it no longer plays a crucial role for Green.

…………

Ten days later, Green returned wearily to the Peranos Laboratory on the seventy-ninth floor of the Black Tower.

Peranos took the scroll handed to him by Green, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He pointed at Green, trembling, and stammered, "You, you, you..."

Green assumed his mentor was surprised by the speed and quality of his task completion, so he shrugged and said with a hint of smugness, "Because I was in a hurry to finish the research, I went straight to the Maze Academy and intercepted the mission team on the other side, forcing them to sign this contract. Of course, since I accidentally killed one of their companions (the white unicorn), I simply killed them all to prevent them from thinking about revenge later."

"Oh, damn it!" Peranos roared angrily at Green's smug expression. "You idiot, you're only thinking of yourself! Didn't I tell you the main purpose of the mission was training? If you didn't need training, you should have just told me!"

Roaring like this, Peranos stomped his feet in anger, saying, "What will the old guys at the Maze Academy think if you complete the mission like this? They'll think I'm showing off having a good disciple, that I'm slapping them in the face! Even if you signed such an extreme contract at the mission location, I could get away with it, but what you're doing..."

Green's face darkened. He had only been focused on saving time and completing the task quickly, and hadn't given this aspect any thought at all.

With that, Green looked at Peranos with a grim expression and asked, "So what do we do now?"

Peranos glared at Green and said, "What else can we do? I'll handle it. For the next two years, don't leave the academy. Focus all your energy on preparing for the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. If you reach the Seventh Ring Holy Tower, you'll be fine. If you don't become a prospective Demon Hunter Wizard in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle, the old guys at the Black Tower Wizarding Academy will definitely put you in a deadly trap after the enforcement officer issues the order." (Wizard apprentices who have participated in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle will be gradually dispersed to various places after one hundred years at the academy and will not be allowed to participate in the next one.)

Green's face paled. To be remembered by an academy dean who was at least a level two wizard was no joke.

Green nodded and said slowly, "Understood."

Fortunately, Green had no intention of leaving the academy in the past two years. He only wanted to focus on studying the explosive flame magic in order to gain an absolute advantage in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle and compete for the highest honor and reward of the Dark Wizard Apprentice in Districts 11 to 15, so as to have a 100% chance of advancing to a formal wizard!

Thinking this through, Green completely abandoned his plan to eliminate the remaining three top experts from Blacksorta Wizarding Academy. It seemed the matter of the kill list would have to be resolved by the Bloodsail Alliance's wizarding apprentices themselves in the future.

However, according to Green's estimation, given Amlongd's personality, if he had the corresponding strength, he would definitely choose to add it to the kill list rather than completely erase it.

even……

If it weren't for Green's name being on the kill list, which Green considered an insult and discrimination, he wouldn't have had any particular thoughts about its existence.

Peranos nodded, waved for Green to leave, and sighed, "The mission reward will be given to you by the wizard in charge of the academy's mission system a year from now. Go and prepare for the Holy Tower Qualification Battle with all your might."

"Um!"

After the firm voice, Green closed the door and left.

When Leona, Deta, and the other wizard apprentices who had been assigned tasks with Grimm received notifications that their mandatory tasks were completed, they were all stunned and incredulous.

This……

It hasn't even been a month yet, and that Pale Mask Grimm really went to the territory of the Maze Academy alone, intercepted their wizard apprentice team, and then forced them to sign a contract.

Even these four people weren't sure whether the contract Green signed was an equal one or an unequal one that benefited the Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy.

However, by forcing a small team of people to sign a contract, Green's status among them instantly rose to the top ten. Even the girl with the long golden braids sold this information, and Green's name appeared in an inconspicuous position on the academy's potential list.

The main reason why Green is not on the list of the top ten players, or even on the potential list, is that Green's specific achievements have never been revealed.

The only time his achievements were exposed, he was put on the kill list.

Because few wizarding apprentices are like Grimm, who, when he does act, erases all traces with absolutely overwhelming force, killing to silence witnesses without ever showing mercy.

While some people noticed Green's name on the potential list, Green seemed to have disappeared from the world. Only Raffi, who occasionally visited Green's cabin for a friendly chat, remembered that such a person still existed.

Green's life entered a state of extreme, frenzied research. He was constantly calculating a large number of formulas and knowledge about the stability of water and fire elements using complex cross-formulas. Not to mention wizard apprentices, even many formal wizards could not reach Green's level of calculation at this time.

Gradually, the prototype of a double-ringed twelve-star magic circle began to appear in Grimm's soul.

This double-ringed twelve-star magic circle seems to be a hybrid magic circle formed by the intersection of water and fire elemental magic circles. A contradictory yet harmonious, stable yet violent energy was born in a mysterious fusion. And the completion of this magic circle seems to be only missing the last stage, at which point this energy system will have completely achieved a preliminary stable application.

This final stage is the intersection of the three fundamental points of annihilation and stability of the water and fire elemental magic circles, and it is also the core of the Explosive Flame Sorcery.

Even worse, if Grimm were to make a careless miscalculation, the chaotic elemental forces could completely detonate his body, turning him into countless fragments that would vanish from the world.

Therefore, Green must be extremely careful and cautious to the extreme, and cannot afford to make a single mistake, especially at major energy nodes!

Frowning, Green habitually picked up two broken branches and muttered, "There are still three months left. If we eliminate one stable reaction base intersection point per month... time is indeed too tight. We can only do our best."

Thinking this, Green checked the time and instinctively picked up the two broken branches, staring intently at the cross-section of the branches, at the mirror-like lightning cut. After more than ten years, Green now vaguely sensed that this lightning pattern was beginning to have a strange resonance within his soul. Green was certain that in five days at most, or at least this time, he would be able to completely understand this lightning pattern!

A fleeting lightning pattern flashed across the cut of the broken branch, and Green's pupils suddenly contracted as his eyes widened. In an instant, a strange feeling appeared on Green's body.

Almost instinctively, Green threw away the broken branch in his hand, his face turning deathly pale!

"What happened? How could this be!" Green's face was shockingly pale, and his body trembled as he looked at the boundless sky.

Because, just as Green deciphered this wondrous lightning pattern, his body suddenly formed a strange connection with the mysterious sky. This connection made Green feel as if he had become some kind of hidden target, and that the violent lightning power would one day strike him down, crushing him with the power of nature!

Green closed his eyes, shook his head violently, and muttered, "No, no!"

Thinking this, Green grabbed the two broken branches he had just thrown away as if he were possessed, staring at them intently. After an hourglass of time, in addition to the lightning pattern he had already comprehended, another unfamiliar lightning pattern flashed by.

Green's pupils contracted, and he slowly lowered the broken branch in his hand, muttering to himself as if in a daze, "What on earth is going on? Why is this happening? It's not a rare rune... As my understanding of this strange lightning pattern deepens, the feeling of being subtly locked onto by the lightning of heaven and earth keeps intensifying?"

Suddenly, Green stared at the broken branch in his hand, his body trembling. He exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... that the reason I was locked onto by the lightning was because I was comprehending these lightning patterns, so the world's rules sent down a bolt of lightning, transforming my body into a 'physique' like these two broken branches? This kind of 'body' clearly teems with violent lightning power inside, yet it's compressed into this small branch in an extremely stable form, remaining hidden and unable to release any energy. What's the use of that?"

Green looked at the two broken branches in his hand and swallowed hard.

"What kind of power does this strange lightning compression force have? These two broken branches are clearly useless. Whether it's elemental or physical attacks, the violent lightning power is like a dead object, not triggered in any way. It's even a piece of waste for alchemy." With his brows almost furrowed, Grimm slowly put down the broken branches in his hands.

Maybe……

There are deeper and more profound knowledge hidden within, waiting for Green to explore, study, and discover, but at this moment, Green can only put it aside for the time being.

Because the once-in-a-century Holy Tower qualification battle is imminent!
