Chapter 188 First-Ring Treatment, Ranking, Four Symbols Resonance Method!
The endless black lines flowed into the central valley like a waterfall.
The number definitely exceeds 100,000.
This finally convinced Ian that what he had seen last time was not an illusion, but that everything was real.
"A hundred thousand talents!"
Ian's heart began to race again, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable longing.
Moreover, this time the distance was closer, making the feeling more direct and clearer, and allowing him to see details he hadn't seen last time.
At this moment, all the black lines fall down, finally converging into one, and then plunging straight into the center of the valley.
This also means...
This black line does not originate from a large amount of knowledge, but refers to a single piece of knowledge or a carrier of knowledge.
"A piece of knowledge? In other words, if I master this knowledge to the master level, it can increase my talent by 100,000?"
Ian’s throat moved slightly.
What level of knowledge does that require?
It seems the Elemental Arcane Wizard Academy isn't as simple as he thought!
Ian pursed his lips, wanting to get closer.
At this moment, the badge emitted a faint repulsive force, clearly indicating that it did not yet have permission to enter this place.
"permission denied."
Ian had already guessed it, but he still felt somewhat disappointed.
"But that's enough; at least it's confirmed to be true!"
Ian took a deep breath.
One day, he will go in and see for himself.
After glancing around a few more times, Ian stopped looking and turned to head towards the Four Symbols Institute.
soon.
He arrived at the Four Symbols Courtyard and headed upwards towards the area where the wizard Kieran was located.
I didn't run into any acquaintances.
Ian easily met Kieran in a room, or rather, Kieran was already waiting for him.
Kieran was sitting on a sofa when he saw Ian walk in and the badge on his chest. He nodded.
"Please sit down."
He pointed to the seat opposite him.
Ian nodded and then sat down.
"Let me tell you about the benefits of being a formal wizard," Kieran said.
Ian's eyes lit up.
He was also very curious about what changes would occur after advancing to the first-ring wizard level.
"First is the right to reside. After advancing to a formal wizard, wizards are allowed to enter the branch academy. You can choose a detached castle in the Four Symbols Academy branch as your residential area, where the elemental concentration is usually more than five times higher."
Ian's eyes lit up immediately.
Five times the elemental concentration—this is a concentration that some of the top meditation rooms used to achieve.
It's more than enough as a place for daily practice.
As for the Shishouin branch, it refers to a branch of the main branch where Shishouin is located, which is a very large mountain range.
"Secondly, regarding knowledge exchange and resource access, as a new benefit, you can choose one meditation method for free and exchange for one lower-level first-ring witchcraft, limited to the common level. After that, you are eligible to exchange for one every year, one excellent level every three years, and one superior level every five years. You can use magic stones, and any excess will require contribution points."
Kieran continued.
A free form of witchcraft?
Ian was pleasantly surprised, after all, he had just advanced, but now all of his spells except for solidified spells were zero-ring spells.
However, judging from the later content, the knowledge restrictions become significantly more stringent once you reach the first stage.
One can only exchange for one spell per year.
Can the extra contribution points be used?
What is this?
"Mentor Kieran, what are contribution points?"
Ian asked directly.
"By joining the academy, you have gained access to its high-quality knowledge and facilities, but this does come at a price."
Kieran calmly looked at him and said, "After advancing to the next level, wizards will take on various responsibilities and tasks within the academy, and will receive contribution points. Some basic resources can be exchanged for magic stones, but more valuable resources will require contribution points!"
Ian suddenly realized.
In this respect, it's similar to the college.
That's perfectly understandable, since the college isn't a purely charitable organization.
"But what are the responsibilities?"
Ian was a little curious.
Kieran seemed to have anticipated Ian's question and calmly explained, "For newly promoted first-ring wizards, common initial duties mainly fall into the following categories—patrolling and stationing, research and assistance, exploration and pioneering, and combat recruitment, etc., but these are not what you should be concerned about right now!"
Ian: ? ? ?
Seeing Ian's puzzled look, Kieran calmly said, "You've only advanced one level, but you haven't been ranked yet. You can only make choices after you're ranked!"
"Classification?"
Kieran said, "In the mysteries of the elements, mental strength is not the only standard for judging a wizard. Another aspect is combat strength. After all, you know the current environment, where combat strength is used to determine a wizard's level."
Ian nodded.
This is true.
Even the elemental mysteries at this moment are constantly at war; battle is indeed important for a wizard.
"Then how is the rating determined?"
"The Tower of Illusion!"
Kieran said, "There is a Tower of Illusions in the academy. The first ten floors represent zero-ring wizards, and the eleventh to twentieth floors correspond to wizards in the early stages of the first ring, that is, wizards who have just condensed a mental power rune. Only by passing the eleventh floor, that is, possessing a standard first-ring combat power, can one be considered a true first-ring wizard. Normally, a wizard will pass the test within a year."
It turned out to be the case.
But what does this have to do with his choice of duties?
Ian was still confused.
Kieran continued to explain, "Since it's a duty, there are naturally different levels. Within the academy, it's basically divided into four levels, with level one being the best and having the best contribution points and benefits. The level depends on the time it takes to pass the eleventh level. If you pass it in three months, then it's level one; six months is level two; one year is level three; and then it's level four."
Ian listened carefully.
Even if you advance to the next level, the competition is still fierce, perhaps even more so than before.
He needs to learn a lot of knowledge, so naturally he needs to contribute points.
Then we must strive for it.
"As my student, whatever level you reach, I will find you the best one within that level."
Kieran continued.
Ian's eyes lit up; being the head of a branch school did indeed have its advantages.
"Let's continue with the benefits of becoming a first-ring wizard. In addition to the two mentioned above, you can recommend one apprentice to the academy each year. The wizarding school you belong to will receive resource reductions, asset protection, and free access to the academy's airships..." Kieran rattled off more than a dozen benefits.
Ian was also stunned by what he heard.
At the same time, they also gained a real understanding of the elemental mysteries of a formal wizard.
Asset protection?
Ian immediately recalled the fate of the Horton School of Wizardry.
"Mentor, my wizarding school had a magical field that was previously seized, and we have proof of ownership!" Ian asked.
"Report to the academy, and a wizard will handle it for you. Of course, you can handle it yourself if you want. If this kind of encroachment is committed by a non-school of wizarding forces, then killing them directly will be fine." Kieran said with a half-smile.
"I understand, mentor."
Ian nodded.
"And this too."
Then, Kieran took out a knowledge crystal and handed it to Ian.
"This is?"
"The first part of the Four Elements Resonance Method is the Four Symbols Resonance Method."
Kieran said slowly.
Ian's gaze also turned serious. This was one of the two top meditation methods in the academy.
A meditation method that can gather five spiritual energy crystals!
"However, it's not too late for you to switch to a different meditation method, as this particular method is quite difficult."
Kieran asked again solemnly.
"Mentor, I've made up my mind."
Ian's gaze was resolute.
With the ability to understand principles and the panel, and the ability to improve one's talent, he naturally chose the top-tier meditation method!
"good!"
Kieran nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Would you be willing to become my official student?"
"Teacher, I'm willing!"
Ian stood up and said respectfully.
"good!"
A while later.
.
Ian returned to the Identity Management Office.
However, this time it records his new identity: a formal student of the wizard Kieran.
This time, Tilan escorted him outside the White Tower before returning inside, which was different from before.
And Ian didn't waste any time.
Head directly to the test site.
After finding Kieran, he also needed to test the specific changes in his sorcery and strength.
These are not things that can be perceived; they must be carefully tested.
At the same time, he also messaged Horton about his advancement and informed him about the Demon Field.
I was about to ask if I needed the academy's help when I saw that Horton had already sent a message saying he would handle it himself.
Ian was not surprised.
He was not someone to be bullied; he was simply constrained by the rules of the City of Elements.
He then sent a message to Audrey, who had sponsored him.
Then they entered the testing ground.
