test area.

In a cold private laboratory, Ivan met his mentor who had just come back from an experiment.

As Randall approached, the strong smell of disinfectant hit his nose. He sat down on the animal skin sofa, and the sofa made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

"Your strength has improved very well. Did you make the spiritual power potion yourself?" Randall looked at his disciple and found that his strength had risen to a higher level, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Hehe, you're right." Ivan smiled shyly.

"The little guys aren't hungry, are they?" Randall changed the subject and looked at him with a slightly unfriendly look.

"How could that be possible? Teacher, you can't wrongly accuse me. They are very lively now." Ivan said as he stretched out his palm in front of him. Within a few seconds, the queen silkworm and five or six strong little brothers crawled out along the cuffs and climbed onto his palm.

"Mumble--"

The Queen Silkworm still looked plump. She turned around, raised her head and chirped at Ivan.

This person smells so bad, I have to go back immediately.

Ivan looked at his mentor awkwardly, then realized that Randall probably didn't understand what the Silkworm Queen said.

"Teacher, look, I have developed a new recipe specifically for them - Qingsang Water. The main ingredients are plant elemental stones and Qinggang mulberry wood." This is the second-generation product he developed based on the elemental stone water, combined with a magical plant called 'Qinggang mulberry wood'.

As soon as the medicine was taken out, the queen silkworm immediately stopped making noise and stared at the liquid in the glass bottle eagerly.

Just as Ivan was about to feed them some, he saw a flash of golden light before his eyes, and his palm sank, revealing a large golden beetle.

The big beetle looked small, with a body length similar to that of the queen silkworm, but it was quite heavy. It easily pushed the queen silkworm aside, acting as if it was dominating the world.

He realized that the big beetle was related to Randall, so he did not act rashly.

The big beetle sniffed into the bottle, turned around and muttered something to Randall. It was clearly angry, as if blaming Randall for not preparing delicious food for it, for not being at all attentive, and for being worse than his own disciple.

Finally, it spat at Randall, and the saliva turned into stone when it met the air. The stone flew towards Randall and was intercepted by Randall's fleeting solidification magic.

Seeing this scene, a trace of envy flashed across Ivan's eyes. This was the mark of a first-level wizard - solidified magic, also known as 'innate magic', which could be performed instantly with extremely low consumption.

It is this solidified witchcraft that creates an essential difference between apprentices and wizards.

"Ivan, you are awesome. I should learn from you in this regard, hahaha." Randall laughed and took the big beetle that was resting on his palm into his own hand.

Could this be the mentor's pet?

It doesn't seem like it. Ivan knows that a magical pet cannot be contracted casually. It requires a certain price. Many wizards don't seem to have the intention of contracting a magical pet, even though a magical pet is equivalent to a wizard's second life.

After some cryptic communication with Randall and getting his promise, the big beetle retreated contentedly.

"Ahem, you want to consult about the wizard's promotion?"

"Yes, the sooner you prepare, the sooner you can be promoted to an official wizard." Ivan had learned some things in advance, but if he really wanted to figure out the twists and turns in it, it would be more reliable to consult Randall.

"To be honest, third-class talent does not give you an advantage in terms of promotion. I hope you don't start the promotion easily. You must remember this, Ivan." Randall gave a serious warning before getting down to business.

He didn't want to see his disciple have to leave the ranks of wizards in disgrace due to a moment of recklessness. He had seen such apprentices more than once.

"I've made a note of this. I will definitely make the transition to a formal wizard only after I've made all the necessary preparations."

Ivan nodded solemnly. This was indeed the case. For an apprentice with only third-class talent, he might only have one real chance for promotion, and that was the first time. The probability of the next two times was extremely low, and he had no capital to squander.

"Let's talk about the promotion potion first. Generally speaking, it refers to the 'Water of Alva'. Its effect is similar to that of the boiling potion, but its intensity is more than ten times. Once taken, it will burn the life force in the body and convert it into a part of spiritual power.

With your own qualifications, after taking a bottle of Alva Water, the success rate of this promotion is usually around 40%. "

Randall paused for a moment after he finished speaking, giving him time to think.

'Alva' is actually a person's name. Ivan has seen this name before. According to records, he was the first wizard to land on the Moonclamp Peninsula and the builder of the first wizard academy. The potion was named after him, which shows his importance.

Ivan thought for a moment and asked, "Can I prepare a potion rich in life energy in advance?"

Randall shook his head. "It's good that you thought of this. It's possible in theory, but it won't work in practice. When you are promoted, you will be in an extremely special state, and most of your body functions will stagnate. This kind of medicine cannot complete the conversion and has little effect. You can prepare it and take it after you succeed."

Ivan asked again: "Teacher, fighting spirit is a kind of life energy, it is related to life energy, right?"

"Of course, Dou Qi is also a kind of life energy, a more superficial one."

"If it is a knight level, how much can the success rate of promotion be improved?"

"A small amount, about 3 percent."

"Where's the Great Knight?"

"The Great Knight's fighting spirit has undergone a deeper transformation and should be able to reach about 10%."

Hearing Randall's words, Ivan's eyes lit up. This seems possible. Randall knew what he was thinking and reminded him, "Ivan, I just said that fighting spirit is a kind of life energy, which involves the origin of life. Don't underestimate it just because it looks inferior to the way of wizards.

Just like becoming a formal wizard, the transition from a knight to a great knight is also an important transformation, but it is not so easy to break through. It depends on your personal accumulation and opportunities. This process may take half a year, or more than ten years or even dozens of years. "

"I see."

Ivan naturally understood this, and he thought that his personal accumulation was not low.

Personal accumulation is his own control and understanding of breathing methods and fighting spirit. With the help of the light of little wisdom, he has come all the way "step by step", otherwise he would not be so ambitious to research the "insect breathing method".

What he lacks now is mainly an opportunity, an opportunity that can make him realize something. This opportunity will come naturally as he experiences more.

Seeing his nonchalant look, Randall thought of something and couldn't help but add: "Don't think about transforming your body. It does help you become a great knight, but it has serious drawbacks. It will make you stray further and further away from the path of a wizard, and it will also easily make you neither human nor beast."

"Teacher, you misunderstood. I really have no intention of transforming my body."

It was hard for a big man like Randall to be so earnest in his advice. Ivan felt warm in his heart and emphasized solemnly.

From an academic perspective, biological modification is a branch of mutation science. It is not difficult to see from the name that if you dare to modify your body, you must be prepared to withstand physical mutations. How could he bring trouble to himself?

Seeing him like this, Randall finally felt relieved.

Then, Randall talked about signing a contract with the college.

For a wizard academy, every wizard is an important cornerstone. Every additional wizard in the academy will bring more strength. Therefore, the academy will give some help to apprentices who are about to be promoted.

A very detailed promotion guide, a level 1 defensive spell, and a bottle of premium Alva water.

The prerequisite is that you need to sign a contract with the college. This contract includes all matters related to your future service to the college. After signing the contract, you are tied to the college.

"Ahem, how many years did you say, teacher?"

"120."

This time Ivan was sure that he had not heard wrong. Once he signed the contract with the academy, he would indeed need to serve the academy for a full 120 years.

That’s more than a hundred years!

Think about the mortgage in my previous life, which was only thirty years. It pales in comparison to this.

Ivan asked persistently, "Are all apprentices the same?"

"No." Randall shook his head and continued, "Those with talent and ability can have their years reduced, or be given more relaxed rules, like the apprentice with fifth-level talent in your batch."

"Teacher, what does it take to be considered talented?"

Ivan asked quickly, talent is fixed, there is nothing to say, as for ability, he should have it.

Randall remained silent, responding to his question with silence.

After a pause, Randall said, "That is the authority of the dean and vice dean of the college. Only those who they think are talented can be considered talented. Do you understand?"

Ivan understood that this rule was not meant for someone of his background.

"What happens if you don't sign the contract?"

"Then run away quickly. The farther the better. It would be best if you can leave the Moonclamp Peninsula, or choose not to be promoted to the first-level wizard."

Randall's words made Ivan realize that they actually had no other choice.

After all, the academy is not a charity. If there are no constraints, or if apprentices and wizards are allowed to leave, the academy will most likely become increasingly decadent and will not last for many years.

Having said that, Ivan still felt a little unwilling, so he changed the subject.

"Teacher, let's talk about the Water of Alva. How many bottles can I take at most?"

"Usually two. If you are willing to risk your life, you can choose to add one. Remember, this action will seriously endanger your life and the mortality rate is not low."

"Then is there any other way to obtain the Water of Alva, or the formula of the Water of Alva?"

"Yes, there will be an opportunity soon that requires you to go to a special secret realm under the Flash Vortex Academy Alliance. If you consider going, I will help you apply."

Randall gave direct answers to all the questions raised by Ivan.

Apart from reminding him of the hidden dangers, he did not try to guide Ivan to make any decision. It must be said that although he looks rough, he is actually a mentor with a delicate heart.

Ivan was grateful for this.
