"1.6! Really? That's too high!"
"Monster! I'm only 0,9..."
"I thought 1.1 was high. Is this guy a pervert?"
The crowd was shocked.
Witch Cassandra also said in disbelief, "I've lived for more than 200 years and I've never seen such a high level of innate spiritual power. It's even more rare for purebloods. Everyone thought that it was the limit for such a human to have 1.5 innate spiritual power."
After a pause, she suddenly said, "I really want to cut you open to see what's going on."
Heath's hair stood on end, and he immediately put one hand on the crossguard sword.
Witch Cassandra laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm just joking. The Shadow Tower is not a Dark Wizard organization, so there's no need to be so crazy. This is a place that obeys the rules. As long as you follow the Apprentice's Handbook, no one will do anything to you."
Heath was finally relieved.
However, he still reminded himself to be more careful in the future. It was enough to get benefits if he exceeded the average level properly. He couldn't be too ostentatious.
Witch Cassandra's gaze continued to return to the crystal ball. "The direction of affinity is also good. Fire, control, and darkness. I suggest you choose one or two directions to learn. The energy of a Wizard is very precious."
"Wizard's talent... Hmm, talent is a little bad, only low-grade."
Hearing this, the crowd could not help but laugh in schadenfreude.
Witch Cassandra said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Do you think you are so great just because you have a high-grade talent? Those who don't have a high-grade talent are all grasshoppers on the same level. No one should laugh at anyone."
Regarding talent, Pierre had briefly introduced it to Heath and the others. Wizards divided talent into five levels: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, excellent-grade, and superior-grade.
At this time, an Apprentice asked, "Madam Witch, are there no differences between low-grade and high-grade talent?"
Cassandra sneered and said to the Apprentice, "Before advancing to a Wizard, there's basically no difference. As for after becoming a Wizard... wait until you reach that level first."
The Apprentices seemed to understand, but not really.
Cassandra then said to Heath, "Work hard, child. You have more advantages than everyone else. As long as you don't slack off, you'll reach the Advanced Apprentice faster than any of them."
Heath said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Thank you for your teachings."
Cassandra's eyes showed a little appreciation.
She glanced at the cross-shaped sword at Heath's waist and suddenly asked, "Cross-shaped sword? Have you received Knight training? Have you advanced to a Knight?"
Heath nodded. "Yes."
The crowd once again cried out in surprise. Even in the Old Land, such a young Knight was very rare.
Cassandra nodded slightly. "Not bad."
After a pause, she continued, "I happen to have a job that suits you very well. Go to the forest and hunt 100 Giant Spiders. I need their legs to do some experiments. I'm willing to pay 1 Magic Stone for each of them. Are you interested?"
The Apprentices were extremely envious.
Heath quickly said, "Of course."
He had also gone to the mission area to understand the situation of the mission. He knew that the mission given by Cassandra was definitely a high-quality mission for Apprentices like them.
Probably because she liked Heath more, Cassandra took out another map and handed it to Heath. "Remember to be careful when you go out on a mission. Don't go to the places marked red on the map."
"Be careful of danger. Also, be careful of other Apprentices. There are a lot of people who are restless here."
The test continued until the end.
After class.
"Have you guys figured out how to meditate?"
"Of course not. Witch Cassandra talked so fast, who knows what she said."
"Ah? Then what should we do?"
"What else can we do? We should go back and think about it. Otherwise, would we really offer two Magic Stones for someone to teach us? I only have 10 Magic Stones with all my money, okay?"
"At least you still have 10 Magic Stones. I don't even have any money for dinner yet."
"You're bragging..."
The apprentices were all complaining incessantly. Cassandra had spoken too quickly before, so no one could understand what she had said.
Ender frowned and said, "Heath, do you understand?"
Heath nodded. "It's not bad."
Ender said in surprise, "Really? You can understand her even though she spoke so quickly?"
Heath said, "There are some things that I need to ponder over later, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem."
Ender quickly said, "Really? Then later, if you understand it, can you teach me? If you give it to me, I'll pay you Magic Stones according to the price."
Heath said, "I can teach you, but forget about Magic Stones."
Along the way, Ender also told him a lot of things about the Wizard World. It could be said that he told him everything he knew.
Ender laughed and said, "Haha, alright then, I'll help you publicize it."
After returning to the dormitory, Heath first completed meditation, and then began to explain to Ender.
With his help, Ender quickly understood the principle of meditation, and also successfully completed the meditation.
Ender was pleasantly surprised, and he praised Heath repeatedly, "My god, Heath, you're really a genius! You're really an amazing genius! I'll definitely help you publicize it, I'll definitely help you publicize it!"
It was already the second day after Cassandra finished her lecture. After a night of pondering, the Apprentices still had no clue. Some of them had already decided to give up on building a car behind closed doors and decided to find someone to teach them.
It was at this time that after Ender's promotion and his successful case, the Apprentices immediately went to find Heath.
Heath was also very straightforward and agreed to explain to them. Of course, this time it was for a fee. But for the sake of the same period, Heath only charged them one Magic Stone each, which was half the market price.
After these Apprentices succeeded, the rest of the Apprentices also came to find Heath one after another.
But not every Apprentice was so honest as to pay the Magic Stone to listen to his explanation. For example, a few female Apprentices...
"Apprentice Heath, I'm penniless. Can we... can we change the payment method?"
"As long as you teach me, I'll live here today."
They deliberately changed into revealing clothes and carefully picked a time when Heath was alone in his room to come to him. They suggested to him to change the payment method, either by name or in secret.
Heath rejected them all.
Every Apprentice here was personally sent by the local nobles before they left. He did not believe that the nobles would let such a precious talent go on the road without any money and could not even afford a Magic Stone.
As he got to know more about the Wizard World, he had become more and more aware of the importance of Magic Stones. It was too cheap to want to exchange Magic Stones for just a little physiological service.
After being defeated by Heath, some female Apprentices chose to obediently pay the Magic Stones, while others secretly went to find other male Apprentices who had received Heath's explanation.
However, although these male Apprentices learned meditation from Heath, it was another matter to take it out and explain it. With their current level of knowledge, it was impossible for them to explain it clearly.
This caused the female Apprentices to be slept with for no reason. In the end, they had to obediently return to Heath to learn.
The most exaggerated female Apprentice had even changed five boys in a row. In the end, Ender couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that she was going to find the sixth one, he had no choice but to come and plead with Heath. Heath also felt that it was too disgusting, so he gave her a waiver.
She was not even willing to pay a single Magic Stone, yet she still went to this extent. This was really enough!
The girl was indifferent. She even smiled at Heath and said, "In that case, thank you, Apprentice Heath. If you ever need me to pay, you can come to me anytime."
She seemed to be enjoying it very much.
At the same time, there were 36 Apprentices. Ender and the girl were free. Karina also did not come. Not only did she not come, she even publicly despised Heath's teaching ability. "Look for him to learn? With his level, aren't you afraid of teaching him a problem?"
Under her influence, there were still two Apprentices who did not come, so there were a total of five who did not come.
The remaining 30 all came to Heath's place to pay Magic Stones to ask for advice. In an instant, Heath earned 30 Magic Stones.
He accepted 25 of these 30 Magic Stones and gave five to Ender. Other people had been busy promoting him for so long, and he had earned so much. He should at least get some benefits, right?
An iron rooster who did not spend a single cent would not last long.
The matter came to an end.
A week later, the Apprentices had learned to meditate and began their own cultivation journey.
At the same time, Heath also brought his cross sword and began his first hunting mission since coming to the Shadow Tower...
Between Apprentice and Wizard, they needed to meditate on the basic will runes in their spiritual sea.
There were a total of 13 basic will runes, and the Apprentice period was divided according to the number of runes meditated. It was roughly divided into five stages: Elementary (0-3), Low (4-6), Intermediate (7-9), Advanced (10-12), and Peak (13).
When an Apprentice meditated and produced a rune, they could start learning spells. Elementary Apprentices could learn three spells, and the total number of spells they could master during the Apprentice period was no more than 20.
Three months later, in the Shadow Tower, in the swamp.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal interweaving echoed.
In the forest, a man and a beast were fighting fiercely.
It was a black-haired youth, and his opponent was a Fire-Kissed Forest Python that was as thick as a man's thigh.
The cross-shaped sword slashed through the scarlet scales, leaving many wounds. The Fire-Kissed Forest Python that was in pain twisted its huge snake tail and lashed at Heath while opening its huge mouth and spitting out lines of fire at him.
After the two sides fought for nearly ten minutes, Heath finally seized the opportunity and jumped to the top of the Fire-Kissed Forest Python's head. Black Dragon pierced the top of its head through its jaw and nailed it to the ground.
The Fire-Kissed Forest Python's huge body struggled crazily for a while before it stopped breathing.
"Phew!" After wiping the blood off his face, Heath started to pant.
"As expected of a Level 0 intermediate demonized beast. It really has some skills!"
After coming to the Shadow Tower, Heath had a more detailed understanding of the grades of demonized beasts.
According to the grades, they were divided into 0-9 grades. Each grade was roughly divided into five stages. Elementary, low, intermediate, advanced, and peak, just like the Apprentice period.
The comparison of strength was also similar to that of an Apprentice. A Level 0 intermediate was equivalent to an intermediate Apprentice, which was much stronger than the advanced demonized beast in the Aike Continent.
After a short rest, Heath walked up and placed one hand on the cold corpse of the Fire-Kissed Forest Python.
"Extract."
[Beep, extraction successful. Spirit +0.02]
[Attributes: Strength 13.2, Agility 13.6, Vitality 12.8, Spirit 2.9]
Heath's gaze swept across the attributes list, his gaze finally stopping at Spirit 2.9.
This was the result of his three months of hard work. He had also meditated three will runes in his spiritual sea, reaching the peak of the elementary level. He was just a step away from becoming a low-level Apprentice.
'Another two or three demonized beasts should be able to advance to a low-level Apprentice.'
Heath was silently looking forward to it.
Then, he took out a dagger and dug out the two fangs and the heart of the Fire-Kissed Forest Python. This was the most valuable part of the Fire-Kissed Forest Python's body, which could be sold for five or six Magic Stones.
As for the rest of its huge body, it was worthless. Heath threw it in the swamp and gave it to the other demonized beasts in the swamp as food.
Then, he got up and continued to search for other targets, ready to break through the shackles of a low-level Apprentice in one go.
After exploring for a few minutes, Heath found the secretion of a Gray Lizard on the ground. This demonized beast was on the same level as the Fire-Kissed Forest Python, and it was also a spirit-type, so it was very easy to extract spiritual power.
Heath was about to track it down, but at this moment, he heard footsteps not far away, and he could vaguely hear voices.
'Someone's here?'
Heath immediately jumped onto a thick tree nearby and used the dense branches to hide himself.
There was no detection spells set up by Wizards in the swamp, so it was a place that Wizards could not monitor. In addition, it intersected with other Wizard organizations, so it was not safe to mix with people. There were always Apprentices who mysteriously disappeared here.
Not long after, two men carrying a young girl came over.
The two men were in their twenties. They were both wearing the Shadow Tower's Apprentice cloaks. The young girl they were carrying looked to be 15 or 16 years old. She was naked, and her eyes were wide open as she died.
Seeing the two male students, Heath could not help but frown.
He knew these two people. They were the Grimm brothers. They were very disgusting brothers.
The two walked to the edge of the swamp and threw the girl's body into a swamp. They started to laugh without restraint.
"Haha, this silly girl really thought that we would let her go."
"Isn't that right? The moment when she was strangled to death was really awesome."
"Ah? Is that so? Let's try to find another female Apprentice another day."
The two of them laughed and left.
After the two of them were far away, Heath came down from the tree trunk. He glanced at the girl who was slowly sinking in the swamp and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Scum."
The Grimm brothers were absolutely notorious among the Apprentices. The two of them joined the tower a few years earlier than Heath and the others. Because an official Apprentice was of the same race as them, the two of them relied on this relationship to climb up to this thigh.
After that, the two of them began to behave atrociously in the tower, extorting, blackmailing, and forcing female Apprentices to have sex. They did whatever they wanted.
There was a huge difference between an official Apprentice and an unofficial Apprentice here.
The unofficial Apprentices, the tower basically didn't care about them, and behind the official Apprentice stood the Wizard himself. From this, one could see their power.
Looking at the girl's wide-opened eyes, there was still fear and disbelief. She probably did not think that the two brothers would really kill her. To be honest, Heath was also slightly surprised.
The tower strictly forbade Apprentices to kill each other. He thought that no matter how crazy the two were, they would not cross the bottom line. However, he did not expect them to still do it, and... Judging from this familiar situation, it was obviously not the first or second time...
'It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future...'
Heath silently reminded himself.
Then, he walked up and placed his palm on the girl's cold corpse. At the same time, he silently chanted in his heart, 'Extract.'
[Beep, extraction successful. Spirit +0.03]
At the same time, the 2.9 that had been paused for a long time on the data list changed again. It was replaced by the number 3.
At the same time, a pure energy surged into his spiritual sea. Under the sweeping of this energy, a shimmering mysterious rune slowly appeared in his spiritual sea.
The shackles of a beginner Apprentice were broken at this moment. He had officially entered the low-level stage.
"I thought I would need at least two or three demonized beasts to break through. I didn't expect it to be so early!" Heath was overjoyed.
The extraction continued.
After the notification sound of his spiritual power increasing, a notification sound followed.
[Beep, extraction successful. Wizard Talent +1. Current Wizard Talent: 2. Rating: Low.]
His talent had also increased!
"This is really double happiness!"
Then, he raised his hand to caress the girl's face and closed her eyes. At the same time, he comforted her, "Go in peace. If there is a chance in the future, I will help you take revenge."
The girl's body quickly sank into the swamp.
Heath immediately left the swamp and returned to the tower.
After returning to the Shadow Tower, Heath walked straight to the trading area, ready to buy his first spell model.
An Apprentice could learn spells after meditating a rune. But because he did not want to be too ostentatious, Heath had been suppressing the impulse to taste the fun of spells and did not go to learn spells for a long time.
However, Heath felt that it was time. Three of the Apprentices in the same period had already meditated on the first rune and learned spells. He would not attract too much attention if he bought a model to learn spells now.
He came all the way to the spell sales area. Heath was ready to go in and choose a spell that suited him, but at this moment, a shout rang in his ear.
"Heath!"
Heath turned his head and saw a tanned, average-looking male apprentice walking towards him. This was Wesley, one of his fellow apprentices.
There were two beautiful female Apprentices beside Wesley, both of whom entered during the same period as him. One of them was called Jenny, and the other was called Molly.
The three of them walked over and bowed to each other. Wesley said, "You came here to buy a magic model as well? So, you've also meditated on runes?"
Heath nodded. "Not long ago."
He could clearly feel Jenny and Molly's eyes burning with passion as they looked at Heath.
Wesley said, "Congratulations, I've also just meditated on runes. Now, five of us have meditated on runes at the same time."
After a pause, he laughed and said, "Haha, we were just guessing who the next person to meditate on runes would be. Jenny and Molly guessed that it would be Duncan, but I thought it would be you. After all, you've worked so hard. There's no reason not for you."
Heath said, "Is that so? Thank you."
Jenny explained in a whimsical manner, "I also guessed that it would be Heath's, alright? I only guessed Duncan because I was bewitched by Molly."
Molly rolled her eyes. "Stop it. You were the one who suggested to guess Duncan first."
The two of them started arguing for no reason.
Wesley said, "Jenny and Molly came with me to buy a spell model. We agreed to take a day off. Everyone will have something to eat in the house and play cards. Do you want to come?"
After a pause, he asked the two girls, "Is there any objection to inviting Heath to join us?"
Jenny blushed and said, "What objection can there be to playing cards?"
Molly did not speak, but her expression was tacitly in agreement.
Wesley could not help but laugh. He winked at Heath and said, "I promise you won't be disappointed. How about it?"
