Wizard's Journey

Chapter 613 Unbridled Recklessness (Thirteen)

"Yes...yes, my dream is to become a great potion wizard."

This male wizard apprentice was named Nigra, one of the unassuming wizard apprentices. His black eyes revealed patience and perseverance, which was somewhat different from the unpredictable person Green remembered. In fact, Green felt a sense of forbearance and expectation that he himself had felt during his research on the power of annihilation.

"Um."

Green paused for a moment, hummed in response, and then turned the head covered by the white mask to look at the horizon.

The energy ripples from the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Tower have already reached here, indicating that the battle has reached its most intense and fierce stage.

Beside him, Nigra stared at the half-distorted, illusory mentor, Grimm, shrouded in black mist, so excited he could barely speak.

Having come so close to this powerful wizard, whose courses were the most expensive in the academy and whose teachings were said to be only understandable to the most elite wizarding apprentices, this second-level wizard actually rescued him personally and spoke to him at close range.

It all feels like a dream!

Even though he had been frugal all year, the extra magic stones he had spent could only afford to attend two of his mentor's lectures. He had absolutely no chance to get close to this taciturn, powerful, and mysterious wizard.

"Professor Green, I..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Nigra's eyes suddenly darkened, unsure how to express his urgent feelings.

In the wizarding academy, everyone probably wants to become a disciple or student of this second-level wizard. What am I anyway?

Green seemed not to have heard Nigra's barely audible words beside him. His gaze was fixed on the distant wizard tower, growing increasingly focused, as if he were about to leave at any moment.

If you don't speak up now, you'll miss your chance!

This is an opportunity you can't miss! You absolutely can't miss it!

Nigra finally mustered all her courage and shouted out her innermost thoughts: "Master Green, please accept me as your disciple!"

Ok?

Having regained some of his magic and about to leave, Green turned around and looked at the wizard apprentice he had rescued with surprise.

"You want to become my disciple?"

"Yes, Professor Green, I want to be your student!"

Nigra spoke firmly, but due to excessive nervousness and lack of confidence, he dared not look up and meet Green's gaze.

Green shook his head and said in a low voice, "I have no plans to take on any disciples or students right now. Teaching disciples and students would conflict with my research into wizarding knowledge. However... if you have any special talents, I can recommend you to a headmaster mentor."

The "advisor" that Green referred to was not Daddaron, Peranos, or Utong, but rather the third-level wizard disciple of Master Uncle Nine-Headed Wrath and the third-level wizard disciple of Master Uncle Daddaron.

Nigra looked up, staring at Green in disbelief.

Green asked, "So...do you have it? Do you possess any talent that surpasses that of an ordinary wizard apprentice?"

"I have!"

Nigra raised his head and solemnly said, "I have invented a potion that can cause life forms to evolve abnormally. The specifics are as follows."

Nigra frantically searched through the ruins of his laboratory, panting, and finally found a few experimental specimens.

Inside the crystal glass bottle were frogs, but these frogs had grown tadpole tails, tentacles of primitive marine creatures, or scales, making them quite deformed compared to normal frogs.

"Mentor, after these frog specimens took my carbim drug, they all underwent strange and abnormal evolution. I think it might be because I haven't quite grasped the specific ingredients of my drug, which is why these frogs are evolving abnormally in different directions. If I can find a suitable unit of measurement through long-term research, then..."

Nigra launched into a long explanation of his calcipoamycin potion, while Green silently observed the experimental specimens.

Suddenly, Green interrupted Nigra.

"No, these frogs didn't undergo abnormal evolution; rather, they experienced atavism. Your drug likely affected something unknown hidden deep within the cracks in their life code. The life code is the cellular core that determines the form of life, while these unknown things deep within the cracks in the life code are the cell's latent memories, the pointers that determine the direction of life's evolution, and... the shackles."

The profound and mysterious knowledge of high-level wizards revealed in Green's words completely stunned Nigra, leaving him speechless.

Atavism? The code of life? Cracks in the code of life?

Although he didn't understand the background knowledge of these wizarding terms, Nigra vaguely sensed from Mentor Green's tone that his invention of the Kavim potion was probably a failure.

A sense of frustration and longing lingered within Nigra; he was unwilling to admit that his greatest secret was that he was a failure!

"Have you already tested this medicine on yourself, and nothing has happened?"

Nigra's eyes welled up with tears, and he nodded, unable to speak.

"Hehe, of course, because the cracks in the human life code were sealed by the ancestors of mankind in ancient times, hiding and sealing the passive evolutionary ability of the human body like other creatures. So your potion has no effect on ordinary humans at all, because they do not have cracks in their life code!"

It has no effect on ordinary humans?

Nigra's breath hitched, and he asked incredulously, "Mentor, what do you mean?"

"Your potion should have some unknown effects on body-refining wizards who have unlocked their wild instincts! Because only they are pursuing the path of human physical evolution from the ancient human ancestors. Although this potion is considered a kind of regression in the history of human evolution, in terms of the current human physique, it is actually helping them to continuously pursue the path of ancient human body refinement."

Green returned all the biological specimens to Nigra and said with great interest, "So, if your potion can be successfully developed in the future, it may have a promising future in the underground abyss world."

It must be said that this originally failed potion really caught Green's eye, and even aroused Green's strong desire to study it. He was determined to trade away the potion formula and knowledge principles of this wizard apprentice, no matter the cost.

The seal and shackles of the ancestors of mankind, hidden beneath the cracks in the code of life, altered the path of human evolution, changing it from physical evolution to spiritual evolution. What secrets lie behind this?

With this help, perhaps Green's future awakening of his third layer of wild instincts will no longer be a distant dream.

"Mentor, you mean me...?"

Green nodded and smiled, "Come with me."

Nigra was so overjoyed that he could hardly believe his ears. He happily followed Green into the air, but the flying speed of a wizard apprentice was too slow and was not at all on the same level as Green, a second-level wizard. Therefore, Green used gravity to pull him forward.

"Mentor, there are enemies over there!"

Upon spotting three Shadow Thousand Eyes Academy wizards in the distance, Nigra's expression changed drastically as he pointed at them.

Green had already noticed, but he just sneered and didn't care. They were just three level-one wizards. The Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Tower would be in sight soon.
