In the study, Su Nan, Rose, and Scepter sat facing each other.

Upon hearing Scepter’s words, Su Nan remained calm, showing no surprise.

He knew from the very beginning when inviting Facardo and the others that they would ultimately agree to join Starlight Academy.

Unless they didn’t want to improve their strength and become Wizards, they wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of freely exchanging resources.

On the entire Starlight Continent, only Starlight Academy (Star Alliance) had enough resources to support their advancement to Wizards.

“The other Wizard Apprentices from the Russell Family joined the Academy as well.”

Scepter took a sip of his flower tea. The fragrance of Ning Shen flowers invigorated him slightly.

“In addition, the Wizard aptitude test in the Northwest Territory ended last month, and the new batch of students arrived at the Academy yesterday, a total of five hundred and twenty-three. The total number of students in the Academy has now surpassed fourteen hundred.”

Su Nan nodded slightly, “What about the number of Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices?”

“One hundred and two,” Scepter replied without hesitation, clearly familiar with the Academy’s development status. “The number is still growing. It’s estimated that in another twenty or thirty years, the number of Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices may exceed three hundred.”

Su Nan nodded knowingly.

From the base era to the current Academy, after years of accumulation, the number of Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices had entered a period of rapid growth. The growth rate of Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices in the future would only accelerate.

As for Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices, that was still far away.

It wouldn’t be until Starlight Academy produced its first Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice.

“Over fourteen hundred students. If it weren’t for the addition of four more instructors, I’d be too busy just with teaching,” Rose complained softly.

Scepter nodded in agreement, deeply understanding.

The number of instructors at Starlight Academy was still too small. A ratio of nearly five hundred to one put immense pressure on the three instructors.

If it weren’t for the fact that more teaching meant more contribution points, they would have protested long ago.

Fortunately, with the addition of Facardo and the others, the pressure was finally eased.

Su Nan smiled slightly, “Thank you for your hard work.”

After a pause, he added thoughtfully, “If you know any other Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices, feel free to extend an invitation. As long as they can pass the approval of both me and most of you instructors, they can also join the Academy as instructors.”

“No problem!” Scepter replied with a smile, “I happen to know a few people.”

Rose also expressed that she would reach out to some individuals.

“By the way, where’s Traveler?” Su Nan finally remembered another absent individual.

“He’s gone into seclusion,” Rose replied. “Traveler plans to transform himself into a semi-elemental lifeform to extend his lifespan.”

After a pause, she added, “In fact, I also intend to undergo semi-elemental transformation soon.”

“Me too,” Scepter said seriously, “I plan to exchange some high-grade sub-dragon blood and then perform bloodline fusion.”

Su Nan’s expression shifted slightly.

Rose and the others’ plans reminded him that they hadn’t undergone any lifespan-extending biological transformation surgeries.

As far as Su Nan knew, Wizard Apprentices seeking to extend their lifespans, besides taking special potions like the Dawn Potion, usually had three options.

Apart from semi-elementalization and bloodline fusion, there was also the option of transforming into a亡灵形态 (undead form).

Completely transforming their bodies and souls into undead forms would significantly extend their lifespans. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Of course, Wizard Apprentices in undead forms were not truly immortal. Their lifespans would only increase by two to three hundred years, a much greater increase than the previous two methods.

However, the cost was also enormous.

Firstly, the transformation conditions were strict, and the success rate was low.

In addition to needing a lot of resources, they also needed to find a place with concentrated negative energy, like the Black Forest, as a transformation site.

Even if all conditions were met, the success rate wouldn’t exceed twenty percent.

Secondly, even if they were lucky enough to succeed, their strength would be difficult to improve in the future, making it almost impossible to become a Wizard.

Most Wizard Apprentices chose to extend their lifespans to buy more time to become Wizards. Transforming into an undead was like putting the cart before the horse, and therefore very few Wizard Apprentices chose this path.

In comparison, semi-elementalization and bloodline fusion, although they increased lifespans less, at least offered room for improvement and the hope of advancement.

However, most Wizards wouldn’t undergo semi-elementalization or bloodline fusion during their apprentice stage.

After all, biological transformations at this stage didn’t significantly enhance their strength and could even hinder their future development.

It was best to wait until they became Wizards and then choose more powerful bloodlines for fusion or undergo deeper elementalization for better future growth.

It was just that on the current Starlight Continent, Wizard Apprentices had little choice.

After Rose and the others joined Starlight Academy, they were no longer as short of resources. However, they had ultimately “wasted” too much time. If they followed the usual path, the probability of becoming a Wizard before they reached the end of their natural lifespan was extremely slim.

Therefore, they could only choose semi-elementalization and bloodline fusion.

Even so, the probability of the three of them becoming official Wizards was still extremely low, less than ten percent.

It was even lower than Sheman and Cole, who were outstanding students.

At least the latter had a good chance of becoming Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices before the age of fifty, giving them far more time to strive for Wizards in the future, increasing their chances of success.

Honestly, Su Nan didn’t mind having one or two more Wizards in the Star Alliance.

In the future, when facing the [Dark Throne], they would have one or two more battle forces.

With this in mind, he was currently researching the formula for constructing potions.

There were still more than fifty bottles of construction potions brought from the Starlight Tower, a considerable amount, but they would eventually be consumed.

It was necessary to start making new construction potions as soon as possible.

It was impossible to find all the main materials for making construction potions on the Starlight Continent, and researching substitute materials was equally difficult.

So Su Nan simply went against the grain and focused his efforts on researching a weakened version of the construction potion.

As long as it was successful, no matter how weak the effect, he could use the Magic Cube to synthesize potions that were no worse than the original.

After chatting with Rose about the Academy for a while, Su Nan left the study and headed straight for the construction site of the Wizard Tower in Zone 2.

After more than a year of construction, the foundation and tower body of the Wizard Tower were nearing completion. He was now starting to build the central crystal energy transmission system.

Once the central crystal energy transmission system was completed, the next step would be the elemental pool.

As long as these two facilities were successfully operational, the foundation of the Wizard Tower would be laid, and then they could move on to spatial planning.

“Before that, it’s best to create the Tower Spirit as well. That way, it’s more convenient to keep track of the construction speed of the Wizard Tower in real time.”

Su Nan decided to start working on the Tower Spirit as soon as he got back.

This was also a challenging project.

The difficulty of creating a Tower Spirit was no less than that of a Secret Puppet.

Starlight Calendar 1288, the Month of Slumber (December).

In some Wizard records, the Month of Slumber symbolized talent.

Some Wizards specializing in prophecy believed that infants born in this month possessed extraordinary potential.

Potential meant dormant power, and dormancy corresponded to awakening. From slumber to awakening, that was the meaning represented by the Month of Slumber.

This month was also the most important month for bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new year.

Fleming quite agreed with this statement.

Because he was born in the Month of Slumber.

“What are you looking at, Fleming?”

Donohue’s voice interrupted Fleming’s thoughts.

He didn’t look up, but casually answered while turning the page.

“An astrology book. The contents are quite interesting.”

“When did you get interested in this?” Donohue was very curious.

In his impression, Fleming never seemed to read such books.

“For Wizards, knowledge is power. It’s not bad to delve into some other knowledge,”

Fleming placed a bookmark in the middle of the page, closed the book, and placed it aside.

“I heard from Rose Instructor that Su Nan Lord has memorized all the books in the Academy and the Dragon Bone Tower library.”

Donohue rolled his eyes and said, “You know, that’s Su Nan Lord. We have to spend months digesting one spell book. To read all the books in the library, that would take ages.”

“Forget about that. Are you going to the banquet tonight?”

Fleming didn’t even think before nodding, “Sheman Senior helped me a lot. Tonight’s banquet is to celebrate him and Cole Senior becoming Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices. Of course, I’ll be going.”

“I envy you for getting an invitation.” A hint of envy flashed in Donohue’s eyes.

The banquet was jointly held by Sheman and Cole, two seniors who had good relationships with Wizard Apprentices. Considering the limited space, only Second-Rank Wizard Apprentices were invited.

And Fleming, who had become a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice in his fifth year of joining the Academy, was naturally invited.

In the eyes of many students, this was proof that Fleming’s talent was recognized by the seniors, making others envious.

Fleming felt a little smug in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. He changed the subject and said, “I heard that Tagana will also be attending the banquet?”

“Of course. She’s an alien student personally nominated by Su Nan Lord to join the Academy. Several instructors have been taking good care of her. The organizers of the banquet would definitely not leave her out.”

Mentioning this, Donohue’s voice carried a hint of jealousy.

“Don’t say that. Tagana’s talent is very outstanding.”

“Her time to master the Star Ring Meditation Method is much longer than yours.”

“That’s because she’s not human. If she were human, her talent would definitely be even more outstanding than mine.”

Fleming’s words were sincere.

It was inevitable for Dark Elves to practice the Star Ring Meditation Method, which was created based on human standards, with twice the effort for half the results.

However, even so, Tagana took only two months to master the Star Ring Meditation Method, which was truly astonishing.

If there were dedicated Meditation Methods and spell books created for Dark Elves, her speed of improvement might even surpass Sheman Senior and Cole Senior.

One could only say that anyone personally nominated by Su Nan Lord to join the Academy must have something extraordinary about them.

After joking around with Donohue for a while, Fleming sent him away and began his daily routine of meditation in the dormitory.

By the time he finished meditating, it was already dark outside.

Fleming glanced at the quartz clock on the wall. It was half an hour before the banquet started, so he got up and left the dormitory.

The seniors who held the banquet had booked the top floor of the second cafeteria.

When Fleming arrived at the top floor hall, there were already quite a few people there.

Various delicious dishes and drinks were arranged on tables covered with white cloth. Beautiful Water Spirits, holding trays, moved gracefully between the tables, their movements like dancing.

Fleming admired the scene for a while before reluctantly moving his gaze, scanning the room to search for Sheman Senior’s location.

Soon, he found his target.

In fact, it was very obvious.

In the center of the dining hall, Sheman Senior and Cole Senior were surrounded by a group of people, like stars around the moon, chatting.

“Sheman, I heard the Academy wants to invite you to be an instructor?”

“There’s a possibility. Cole also received an invitation.”

“So, what are your plans?”

“That goes without saying. Of course, I’ll accept. Instructors can get more contribution points and exchange more resources than students, right, Sheman, Cole?”

“That’s what I plan to do.” Sheman replied with a smile.

“Same.” Cole remained as taciturn as ever.

Fleming felt a little envious.

Would he be able to become a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice at this age?

After a while, the students surrounding the two gradually dispersed, and Fleming finally had the chance to approach them.

“Sheman Senior, Cole Senior, congratulations on your promotion.”

“Long time no see, Fleming Junior. Thank you for coming to the banquet.” Sheman said with a gentle smile.

Cole also nodded slightly towards Fleming.

He was a typical strength-above-all-else person. He didn’t even bother with those who lacked strength and talent. And Fleming was clearly not in that category.

“Greetings, Atil Senior.” Fleming then turned to Atil, who was standing nearby.

After a long time, Atil Senior was as beautiful as ever. The gentle aura around her became even more mellow with the passage of time.

“Long time no see, Fleming Junior.” Atil smiled softly, “I ran into Scepter Instructor recently. He praised your talent and said you have already constructed your fifth Star Ring.”

“It’s just Scepter Instructor’s praise.” Fleming modestly replied.

The group chatted merrily, and just when the atmosphere was quite good, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.

Fleming turned his head and saw a tall, slender girl with obsidian skin and delicate, beautiful features walking in.

She had a detached expression, exuding an aura that kept people at bay.

Even so, she immediately attracted many gazes in the hall as soon as she appeared, becoming the center of attention.

The girl seemed accustomed to this scene, oblivious to the gazes around her. She looked around, and when she saw Atil, the coldness on her face melted away, replaced by a faint smile.

“Tagana’s here.” Atil greeted her with a smile, affectionately taking the Dark Elf girl’s arm.

The two women quickly started whispering to each other.

Seeing this, Fleming was a little surprised, “Atil Senior seems to have a good relationship with Tagana?”

Sheman replied with a smile, “When Tagana first entered the Academy, Atil was instructed by our teacher to take care of her, so they have a good relationship.”

Fleming understood.

No wonder.

As far as he knew, when Tagana first entered the Academy, many people were interested in her Dark Elf identity and deliberately approached her, but Tagana refused them all without exception.

Over time, Tagana was labeled as cold and aloof, and the butterflies surrounding her immediately dwindled.

The Dark Elf girl didn’t mind, continuing to live her life as she pleased, immersing herself in cultivation and learning, almost completely ignoring others.

If she hadn’t come to the banquet tonight, Fleming wouldn’t even know that she had a friend like Atil Senior to talk to.
