Chapter 207: Scholarship Award, War Deadline, Elite Rank

"Show me!"

This was the first time Ian had seen Kieran so serious.

I dare not delay.

In front of Kieran, he demonstrated the Hand of Fury and the first level of the Four Symbols Resonance Technique.

Kieran simply watched, his eyes flashing with the flames of the Hand of Blaze, lost in thought.

Several minutes later.

He slowly spoke, "Very good. Even among all my students, your talent in magic is among the best."

He looked at Ian with a complicated expression.

Who would have thought that among this group of students, Ian had the lowest talent, yet he surprised him time and time again.

They even possess unique talent in the Four Elements Resonance Meditation Method.

"Ian, the progress you've shown is even greater than I expected. At least this time, I'll give you this scholarship spot," he said slowly.

Ian's eyes = bright.

Did you really get it so easily?

"Teacher, what exactly is included in the scholarship?" Ian asked curiously.

He doesn't know that yet.

Kieran calmly explained, "The purpose of the Crown of Elements Scholarship is actually to help wizards with potential in the early stages of the first ring overcome most of the obstacles to breaking through to the middle stage of the first ring. So it may be slightly different for different wizards, but the core content remains the same."

This includes one opportunity to enter the Academy's Secret Realm, one Crystallization Potion to help a wizard break through to the mid-stage of the first ring, any knowledge from the early stage of three first rings or one knowledge from the mid-stage of one ring (excluding excellent knowledge), and various resources equivalent to 30,000 contribution points.

Ian gasped.

Needless to say, 30,000 contribution points is a lot of points. Even for the top-tier, first-class duties, it would take a year to accumulate them.

Secondly, there are crystallizing agents.

He knew about this potion; it was a precious potion for early-stage first-ring wizards to break through to the mid-stage of first-ring wizardry.

It can help condense spiritual energy crystals.

Of course, it's also very precious. Putting aside contribution points, the main problem is that it's priceless and hard to find. There are long queues of wizards, making it very difficult to buy.

Then there are three free knowledge courses.

The choice is arbitrary, meaning that you can choose knowledge at the excellent level, which is usually worth two or three thousand contribution points or more.

You can also choose knowledge from the middle stage of the first stage, which often requires access permissions, and it's really quite good.

And these resources, taken together, are indeed, as Kieran said, enough to help most wizards clear the obstacles to advancement.

"However..." Kieran spoke again, "Normally, a wizard who advances to the mid-stage of the first ring needs to exchange for the corresponding meditation method and witchcraft. If you choose other methods, you will need to exchange for them yourself. But since you chose the Four Symbols Resonance, you can come to me to get a copy when you are about to reach your limit."

Ian's eyes lit up.

I have to say, there were way too many surprises today.

Of course, this also made him even more curious as to why the Four Symbols Resonance Meditation Method was so highly valued by Kieran.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to ask the question anyway.

"Too early."

Kieran shook his head without explaining why.

Ian could only turn to ask another question: "Teacher, what exactly is the academy's secret realm?"

This is another issue that he is most concerned about.

"The Academy's secret realm is located in a broken demiplane," Kieran said. "It was actually here before the academy was established, and you could even say that the academy's establishment here was partly its reason."

Is that really the case?

Ian was surprised.

"And that place is not a purely material world, but an imprint field maintained by pure elemental laws and ancient will."

"Branding factory?"

Ian squinted, as this was the first time he had heard of this claim.

"For example, when you use powerful witchcraft in a certain place, it may cause permanent damage to the environment. This can be considered as your imprint on the environment."

This secret realm is an environment where many beings who cultivated, broke through, fought, or even perished have left fragments of their will imprinted there. Once a wizard receives these fragments, they can inherit the experience and knowledge left behind. Many wizards nearing death in academies even voluntarily leave their imprints behind.

Kieran said.

Inheriting knowledge and experience?

Ian subconsciously skipped over the other words, his mind only echoing with these words: "Such a good thing?"

"Is there any danger involved?"

Ian asked instinctively.

He always felt that things couldn't be that good.

"Yes, there are, but you won't enter those dangerous areas. Instead, you'll be confined to safe areas to comprehend the relevant imprints you've learned and improve yourselves. That's the meaning the secret realm gives you," Kieran said.

"Understood, teacher!"

Ian nodded.

That solves the problem. If entering the secret realm involves fighting and killing, that would be too boring.

This is what he wants—a method that allows him to steadily improve his proficiency.

It's a pity there's only one chance.

"That concludes my explanation of the scholarships."

Kieran changed the subject, saying, "But don't relax. I've received definite news that the academy is almost ready. War may come within two years at most. I suggest you use any means necessary and don't be stingy with resources. Break through to the mid-stage of the first ring before then."

Otherwise, places like mines are very likely to reduce staff, and you might be directly drawn into the war. But by the mid-stage of the first ring, your position will be reassigned, and I can place you in a safer place or somewhere else. Also, two years later is a crucial period, and the selection of elite disciples may begin, which only those in the mid-stage are eligible to participate in.

Two years?

Ian took a deep breath. Although he had expected this, he still felt a little nervous upon hearing the news.

And could it get caught up in the war?

We need to hurry.

Are there still elite disciples?

It seemed like this was the second time he had heard the term; the first time was when he went to buy a journal.

"You'll know when you break through."

Kieran still didn't tell him.

Ian nodded. That's true. Thinking about that now is a bit too far ahead.

"Thank you for informing me, teacher."

Ian expressed his gratitude.

Although it's just a matter of time, there's no doubt that this is something not every wizard can know.

He even suspected that most second-ring wizards probably didn't know either.

Only those at the dean level or higher would know this.

Even just the news itself can be more valuable to some people than a scholarship.

"Go."

Kieran waved his hand.

Ian bowed and left.

As Ian left, Kieran climbed to the second floor of the castle, his gaze fixed on the direction of the main courtyard in the distance.

His gaze was distant.

"I wonder how far Ian, this little guy, can go in the Four Symbols Resonance?"

Is there a chance?
