"Chip, compare the changes in my mental strength before and after exercise!"

"Hey, the basic data of the main body is: Strength 2, 8 Dexterity 1, 3 Constitution 3, 9 Spirit 6..."

Seeing this data, Greem couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

He remembered clearly that his mental power was 7 points before. Doesn't this mean that after a mental exercise, his mental strength did not increase but decreased, and he even dropped 1 point. this…

While he was thinking, the information prompted by the chip continued.

"... The subject's mental threshold increases, mental strength increases, fire element affinity increases, and there is a phenomenon of incongruity between the existing mental state and body fit... It is expected that this phenomenon will end after 127 hours, 36 minutes, and 54 seconds. During this process, it is necessary to The main body continuously releases the fire element to stimulate the change of the body... "

"... It is estimated that after the mental state and the physical fitness reach the same frequency, it will bring a 1 to 17 point increase in mental power to the subject..."

Lost by 1 point, increased by 1.17 points, doesn't this mean that the mental power can still increase a lot? And this kind of mental exercise, what changed Greem the most was not the increase in mental power, but his affinity for the fire element.

This is a disguised improvement of his talent potential, a huge improvement that makes him wake up with a smile in his dreams!

After all, the level of spiritual power only determines how many witchcrafts he can release now, and how fast the witchcraft recovers, but the talent potential determines how far he can go in the future, and whether he has the potential to advance to the second level.

This is actually what he values most!

However, the change this time is very slight after all, and it will take continuous persistence to achieve significant improvement. So what Greem needs to do now is to manage the Flame Throne Wu Tower well, and then persevere for many years, waiting for the day when it breaks out of the cocoon.

...

As soon as Greem returned to Wu Tower, he received a meeting request, and the requester turned out to be Ke Daer who had just returned to Feidnan City.

Greem met Kodal in the residence on the 4th floor.

And the purpose of his coming was to deliver a letter written by Meryl himself, which clearly pointed out that the current Sarupo family was obviously somewhat wary of the Greem family. Not only are they subtly suppressed in the allocation of resources and the adjustment of materials, but even the compulsory tasks assigned by the family are becoming more and more dangerous.

Moreover, the family recently had a fierce confrontation with another middle-level family in the east, the Yaxi family, because of the death of a quasi-shaman apprentice. Several senior apprentices from Greem's department were dispatched there, and the friction between the two sides was very intense, and it might even rise to the level of a family war.

And the information Meryl obtained through covert channels shows that Greem is likely to be dispatched to a family resource point closest to the conflict point in the near future.

At that time, Greem will inevitably be involved in the family war!

While reading the letter, I slowly thought about it...

After a long time, Greem gently placed the letter on the wooden table, tapped the table with his fingers, and turned his head to look at Kodal.

"That's the only thing?" Greem asked suspiciously: "If it's just this thing, Meryl shouldn't have sent you here. Is there something else?"

Now that the witchcraft facilities inside the Flame Throne are fully prepared, if there is any major change in Feidnan City, Meryl will definitely use witchcraft to notify Greem as soon as possible. .

"Teacher, I'm going to try again soon..." Kodal said with difficulty.

Greem paused slightly as he tapped his fingers on the table.

"Have you finished all your preparations?"

"Yes! The family I came from has already prepared the necessary resources for me. Most likely, I plan to try again next week..."

Greem was silent for a moment, and the blue light in the black pupils flickered slightly, and he detected Kodal's basic data almost instantly.

Kodar, a quasi-human witch, male, talent affinity: dark element, body: strength 0, 3 agility 0, 4 constitution 0, 4 spirit 0, 9.

Kodar was the oldest of all Greem's disciples, and also the most aristocratic one. He came from a very good background, and his family owned a fertile territory of a hundred miles in the middle of the mainland, and he could be regarded as a royal nobleman of a small principality.

Back then, the Sarubo family also took a fancy to this point, so they recruited many potential apprentices in his family. And his family can be regarded as one of the subsidiary forces of the Sarubo family.

But good birth did not bring him good luck.

It has been thirteen years since Ke Daer became a quasi-sorcerer. During this period, he also tried a ritual to advance to the rank of a wizard, but unfortunately failed!

So his superficial data seems to have met the basic requirements for holding an advanced wizard ceremony, but... Greem found through a complete scan of the chip that his breath of life was dark gray. This fully shows that the loss of vitality caused by the failed promotion ceremony last time has not been fully repaired and adjusted. Trying to advance again in this state, the success rate given by the chip detection is no higher than 16%.

Greem, who has experienced the promotion ceremony, knows very well that the so-called wizard promotion is to strive to condense the core of consciousness in the consciousness space with the power of rules that he is good at. And this process is extremely depleting its own energy reserves!

The process of condensing the core of consciousness is very long, and the whole process requires a lot of energy consumption. The first thing to consume is of course the advanced person's own energy reserve. Once the energy reserve is insufficient, the ceremony consumes the advanced person's talent potential. If the talent potential is burned out and it is not enough, then the next thing to burn will be vitality.

Therefore, the last failure caused a serious loss of Kodal's potential, and his vitality was greatly reduced.

If he is properly maintained, there will be no problem in living another seven or eighty years. But if he wants to try to advance to the rank of wizard in such a state, then his greatest possibility is that his vitality will be exhausted and he will be directly burned to death in the promotion ceremony.

16% success rate!

This is the conclusion reached by the chip after integrating various factors, and it may be difficult for Kodak himself to know his success rate so accurately. He only vaguely knows that his success rate is very low, but it is difficult to fully grasp how low it is.

Of course, the greater possibility is that no matter how low the success rate is, he is probably willing to try it.

After all, in this world where wizards are the main body, the gap between quasi-wizards and wizards is still too big!

This is actually the only ending for all apprentices who embark on the path of wizards.

If you don't grit your teeth and get through the difficulties one by one, you can only fall sadly on the way.

Greem hesitated for a moment, but did not tell Kodal of his judgment.

Since he chose to visit him before the promotion ceremony, there was a hint of 'farewell' in it. Whether it's his own choice or the pressure from his family, this step is something he has to face.

That being the case, no matter what Greem said, it would only weaken his fighting spirit. Instead, let him fight with high spirits to win the 16% winning rate.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Greem took out a bottle of emerald green potion from his waist pocket and handed it to Kodal.

"Take it, this is a bottle of high-level vitality recovery potion. When you advance to the rank, if you feel that you can't stand it, drink it, maybe it can help you!"

Each of these high-level medicines is worth thousands of magic crystals, and they belong to the unique healing medicine of the wizard level, which usually does not appear on the market at all. Even ordinary wizards should cherish and store them when they see them, in case they can save their own lives at critical moments.

If it wasn't for a qualified pharmacist like Gargamel, even with Greem's power, it would be difficult to purchase this level of life-saving witch medicine.

With a grateful look on Kodal's face, he silently accepted it, then bowed deeply to Greem, and then walked out slowly.

When the door of the residence was slowly closing, Greem had a feeling that this might be the last time he saw this Kodar!

...

Tower of Destiny.

The door opened slowly in front of her eyes, and Alice, dressed in a purple star robe, walked quickly on the corridor of fate, while Helen, the little magic elf, was flying up and down by her ear like a nagging housekeeper, unable to stop. What is the report.

The dots of light pulled out a beautiful belt of light behind her.

The witch apprentices they encountered along the way all avoided to the side and bowed to salute. They all held witchcraft books of different thicknesses in their arms, and it seemed that they were planning to rush to a certain witchcraft hall to attend lectures.

"Who is giving the lecture today? Xuefu or Katrina?" Alice suddenly pointed her finger at a young witch apprentice and asked loudly.

This is a nine-year-old witch apprentice, with an immature face and a snow-white apprentice robe, holding a surprisingly thick witchcraft book with her hands. On the side of the hardcover book are engraved in large characters "Elementary Theory of Astrology" in the beautiful Aledu language.

Because she is too young and her figure is too petite, when she walks through the corridor with a book that is almost half as tall as her, she also attracts the attention of others.

"Master Alice, today's lecturer is Teacher Katrina!" Perhaps it was the first time he had talked with such a big figure as the Witch of Fate. Beads of sweat.

Witch Katrina is a wandering wizard who came to seek refuge after the opening of the Tower of Destiny. Although her strength is average, the basic skills of a first-level witch are quite solid. And now Alice is not qualified to pick and choose, no matter who comes to join her, she will accept them all according to the order, and arrange them all in the Tower of Destiny.

"Then what's your name?" Alice suddenly became interested in this nervous little apprentice witch.

"My name is Tiffany!"
