Chapter 297 A Terrifying Harvest: Second Ring Inheritance, Iron Thorns, The Assessment Ends!
"A seeded player!"
Ian immediately averted his gaze to prevent the wizard from sensing his self-illumination.
But I was already feeling excited.
Just by looking at the black lines, you can tell that this guy definitely has a lot of remnants from the Ironthorn Wizard Academy.
"But we have to be careful."
Ian's mind was racing.
Wizards sent out by the Ironthorn Wizarding Academy not only possess resources, but may also have strong survival skills.
"So I only have one chance, and if it doesn't work out, I'll leave immediately."
He would never joke with his own life.
So while the other chapter members were still ignoring everything, Ian was adjusting his breathing.
The water curtain, resembling air, spread out to both sides, blocking the area the wizard had to pass through.
Simultaneously.
His blood and energy were circulating rapidly, as if he were about to reach his limit.
Remy seemed to know they had reached the boundary line, and he appeared very cautious, moving very slowly.
Ian continued his routine patrol, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.
But when Remy finally broke through the defenses and a moment of relaxation appeared in his eyes, he moved.
It was like a volcanic eruption.
The accumulated qi and blood propelled the body, allowing mental energy to be activated more quickly, and a gray black hole appeared instantly.
It moved as fast as a flash of lightning.
Before anyone could even react, the Four Elements Wheel had already flown to Remy's side.
next second.
A curtain, as clear as glass, shattered into fragments and drifted into the air.
"How is that possible?"
At this moment, a hint of horror finally flashed in Remy's eyes.
Because he simply didn't have enough time.
They didn't even have time to use the life-saving measures provided by the academy.
"No!"
Before he could even finish uttering the word "no," his head was instantly shattered by the attack, and a large amount of blood splattered around him like a mist.
"This is?"
Only then did the warband's wizards finally react, each one on high alert, only to find that the enemy was already dead.
It was Ian who made the move.
"My lord, what is this?"
A warband wizard looked at Ian not far away and saw the latter breathe a sigh of relief.
"Send someone to search for this wizard. This person is Remy Dalton, a core member of the Ironthorn Wizarding Academy."
Ian said cautiously.
He planned to ask other wizards to help search for him, since who knew if he might have other abilities on him.
"Remy Dalton?"
The warband's wizards had naturally received the list beforehand and knew who the person was.
But it was even more horrifying.
They hadn't noticed anything when they came over; if it weren't for Ian, they probably would have already run away.
"Thank you, sir."
Everyone expressed their gratitude.
If the academy finds out that this person ran away from here, Ian, as a core member, can be exempted from punishment, but they will definitely be in trouble.
So very quickly.
Several wizards gritted their teeth and searched the area before finally handing Ian a spatial ring.
Ian then handed several wizards a few pieces of high-grade materials before turning his attention to the ring.
We came to a deserted side.
Ian tried to open it.
He discovered that there seemed to be a protective barrier preventing his mental power from reaching him.
"Protective measures are in place"
Ian squinted, but the moment he made contact, his innate ability to sense objects was activated.
He has already discovered several vulnerabilities.
Several thin strands of mental energy probed the spatial ring a few times, and the spatial ring immediately opened.
"So big?"
Ian's eyes widened.
In my perception, this spatial ring is about the size of a football field, and it contains a large number of items.
My gaze swept over it.
Then they saw a large number of magic stones, resembling small mountains; there were tens of thousands of low-grade magic stones.
To one side were stacks of boxes, each containing neatly arranged mid-grade magic stones, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
And a more exquisite little box on one side.
Ian slightly controlled his mental energy to open it, and saw ten magic stones emitting an almost deep black light.
"A superior-grade magic stone!"
Ian's breath hitched.
High-grade magic stones are not even in the same league as mid-grade and low-grade magic stones.
The former's magic is more than a hundred times that of the latter, and it can already serve as the core and energy source for large-scale creations.
It can even play an important role in potions, magic arrays, and other areas.
One of them is worth more than 10,000 magic stones, and there is no market for it.
For Ian, this could also serve as the power source for the Swift, making it even more efficient.
"And including what we had before, we have about 300,000 magic stones now!"
Ian's lips twitched.
He had expected to gain more, but he didn't expect it to be this exaggerated.
It can only be said that the Ironthorn Wizarding Academy truly intended to have these wizards take their heritage with them.
"You can also see that from here."
His gaze shifted to the other side, where several enormous bookshelves displayed various knowledge crystals.
Judging from the black lines, much of it is top-tier inherited knowledge.
"But this is the most."
His gaze fell upon the very top of the bookshelf, where a knowledge crystal emitting a faint green glow had four or five thousand black lines.
Do you know anything about the Second Ring Road?
His breath hitched, and he used his mental energy to sense what was going on. He quickly understood what was happening.
"The Ironthorn Legacy is the core heritage of the academy, containing all the content from the zero ring to the second ring, and even some parts that break through the second ring."
Ian's eyes lit up immediately.
Even with just a quick glance, he could see that there seemed to be quite a few things that were of great value to him.
Even if it's not just this.
Even the knowledge gained from breaking through the second ring is of extraordinary value to him.
"That's good."
But he put it down; it wasn't time to study yet. Then he looked to the other side.
Various odds and ends as well as extraordinary creations.
But some of them immediately caught Ian's attention.
It was a wooden vessel, and inside was a seed about the size of a fist, with raised bumps on its surface.
"What is this?"
His eyes narrowed slightly; the aura emanating from this seed felt very off to him, unlike that of a first-level cultivator.
It felt very unusual, and beside this unusual seed, there were several emerald green fruits stored in a wooden box.
With just one glance, Ian felt his mental energy throb; it was incredibly captivating.
I don't know what it is?
"Never mind, we can ask about it later. It's not the time to examine it carefully now."
He continued examining the seed, then withdrew his mental energy and returned to reality.
Then they returned to the defensive line.
"My lord, Remy was the third-ranked core member of Ironthorn Wizard Academy, with a bounty of three thousand contribution points from the academy. You killed him in one fell swoop. You are truly amazing."
A warband wizard complimented.
"Three thousand, third?"
Ian hadn't expected this person to be so valuable.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In fact, he sensed that this person's level of elementalization was already close to that of the top two or even the top students in each academy.
I estimate that the resonance level will be at least 90%.
However, since it was a sneak attack, the situation was different.
As for why the third place is so average.
How could the core of the Iron Thorn possibly compare to the mysteries of the elements?
"Sir, this is what he used to conceal his presence; we just discovered it."
The wizard then handed Ian a rustic wooden wristband.
Ian glanced at it and quickly grasped its meaning.
"Thorn Bracers, can they conceal one's presence, even fooling some second-ring cultivators? Good stuff."
Ian's eyes lit up.
However, he then put it away and looked at the others, saying, "I'll take this wristband. I've had a great haul this time, so I should show my appreciation."
Ian gave these wizards some of the magical artifacts he had previously crafted, most of which were of high-level first-tier quality or above.
Immediately, all the wizards wore smiles.
"Don't relax now, there might be other wizards."
Ian continued.
Everyone then realized that it wasn't over yet, and returned to their posts.
Ian's gaze returned to the distance.
Be alert for the possibility of enemies appearing.
Soon, another wizard broke through the defenses, but this time it was just an ordinary semi-elemental wizard, who was quickly dealt with by the warband's wizards in coordination with Ian.
"Should we go to other areas?"
Seeing the wizard being arrested, Ian hesitated.
Staying in this area, the chances of encountering another big fish like Remy Dalton are extremely low.
But once a wizard catches even one of these seeds, the rewards are immense.
It's big enough to save Ian a lot of trouble.
Of course, this also carries certain risks.
"But the risks are manageable!"
Ian made his judgment.
His combat strength was comparable to the second-ranked students in each academy, and he also had life-saving methods from the Alchemy Department.
Even if something really happens.
There is a chance to escape.
But if you miss this opportunity to reap the rewards, you may never have another chance.
After all, with a wizarding academy as large as Ironthorn Wizarding Academy, it's almost impossible to do it again.
"I'm going to check out other areas and conduct patrols. You all stay here!"
Ian spoke to the warband's guardian wizards.
"Yes, sir."
The wizard said respectfully.
Ian turned his head.
A few minutes later, Ian took out the Swift from his wristband, then slipped into it, took out a high-grade magic stone, and placed it in the energy source.
next second.
The swift slowly disappeared into the air, and the warband wizards could not sense it at all.
Ian looked around and controlled the Swift to move.
He planned to expand the search area as much as possible, using himself as the starting point, hoping to find something with the speed of a swift.
Time passed little by little.
Ian still came up empty-handed.
"There are fewer than I expected!"
He shook his head.
After all, the Ironthorn Wizard Academy only has ten core members, which is nothing compared to the Elemental Mystic Arts.
A full day later.
He still hadn't gained anything.
Just as he was about to return, he suddenly saw a large number of black lines explode again.
"Did they release the guaranteed minimum?"
Ian's eyes lit up as he watched the figure moving underground, moving at an extremely slow pace, like a snail.
soon.
He determined the man's gains.
"Core Ten, Parker Brook."
Ian recalled the information about this wizard: a nature wizard, specializing in strangulation with vines and skilled in positional warfare.
Moreover, the slow speed didn't seem to be intentional; it appeared that the wizard was injured!
Was the injury sudden?
Ian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
below.
Parker endured the physical pain and struggled forward.
"Damn elemental magic, these lunatics."
"It's alright. As long as I escape this area, I'll be completely gone. The academy sent me out, and I will definitely take revenge on Yuan in the future."
The profound meaning of the simplistic philosophy.
He gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, I felt as if the ground around me was filled with pressure.
wrong!
The nature wizard's senses were stronger than the elemental wizard's, and he instantly realized that something was wrong.
The next second they will be lifted off the ground.
But then an even greater gravity followed, and he felt his whole body being suppressed by a force of gravity.
"Damn it, we've been found out."
He had no more chances. The next second, a large number of vines sprouted from his body, and his skin emitted a green hue.
Like a wooden dragon, he emerged from the ground.
But what awaited him was...
All I could see was a four-element cycle.
Click.
A green light curtain shattered, and a badge on his body broke into pieces on the ground.
"Damn it!"
He gritted his teeth and looked ahead, only to see Ian drifting far away in the distance.
"Not among the top twenty elemental mysteries."
Parker breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, dozens of spells instantly wrapped around the wizard, radiating a powerful aura.
Are you kidding me?
The corners of his mouth twitched.
The next second, a rain of elemental magic poured down, and his means of survival were gone; he was instantly submerged.
A few minutes later.
Ian landed slowly, and pulled out a spatial ring, along with other valuable items.
Then leave.
"This person is clearly not as good as the previous one."
Ian sighed after looking at it.
The magic stones were only two hundred thousand, and the knowledge was also somewhat lacking. In addition, the green seed was not seen, but there were three fruits.
It seems to be standard equipment.
"We'll see what that thing is when we get back. The warband should have a resource list."
He shook his head and looked at the Ironthorn Wizarding Academy in the distance.
The sky had turned fiery red.
With Simon in charge, they had no chance; the wizards had already completely overrun the academy.
However, the finishing touches may take another two or three days.
Go back to your own area.
We boarded the shuttle.
Ian quickly returned to his area.
"My lord, you're back?"
The wizard looked at Ian, who had appeared.
"Um."
Ian nodded. He wasn't going to go out. Capturing two core members was enough, whether it was a victory or a gain.
I want more.
That would be far too dangerous.
Let's just stay here.
"The warband should have a resource list, right? Could I have a copy?"
Ian asked the wizard.
"sure."
The wizard immediately shared it with Ian.
Ian flipped through the pages.
"The Fruit of Ironthorns".
Ian found the description of the fruit.
It turns out that the Ironthorn Wizarding Academy has a supernatural plant called Ironthorn that is almost at the late second ring level, and it produces a batch of fruits every few decades, which are extremely valuable.
The fruit's effect is to increase a wizard's mental strength, with almost no side effects.
"this!"
Ian's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected it to be something like this. That was really interesting.
He then examined many more things and found many items of great value to nature wizards.
It's a pity that this isn't an elemental wizarding academy, so resources in this area are scarce.
Fortunately, we can wait to redeem it later.
"And this, please submit it for me as well."
He produced a second core piece of identification.
"This is... " The wizard was stunned at first, but his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
This is yet another core element.
God!
Keep in mind that there are only ten cores in total. Excluding those that didn't escape and those that were captured by other wizards, Ian actually found two of them all by himself.
This is incredible.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ian with a different gaze. This ability was even more mysterious and terrifying than powerful combat strength!
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Ian gained another 1,500 contribution points.
And after that.
Ian didn't leave either; he stayed here quietly, guarding the place.
One day later.
Squad leader Haro summons.
"How's your harvest?"
He looked at the several wizards.
Some wizards nodded, while others shook their heads. Ian, however, nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Um."
Harrow nodded, but didn't take it seriously.
Because the academy's fighting strength was too great this time, very few wizards were able to escape the first line of defense.
Even he didn't gain that much.
"The academy doesn't need so many interceptions. Let's enter the Ironthorn Wizard Academy and begin our search."
Hello.
"Can."
Ian nodded.
By this time, the first wave of wizards had already gone in, and the danger was actually quite under control.
So for the next day and a half.
Ian and the others followed Harlow as he searched the Ironthorn Wizarding Academy, and Ian also saw the so-called Ironthorn.
It was a massive thorn bush, hundreds of meters tall and stretching for kilometers, that was completely dead and being cut into pieces by the academy.
And during this period.
Ian also encountered some enemies and made some gains, but they were nothing compared to what he had gained before.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days have passed.
Ironthorn Wizarding Academy has become a thing of the past.
The core testing for Ian and others has also come to a complete end.
