Chapter 16: Level 2 Wizard Apprentice (Please follow, bookmark, and recommend)

Chapter 16

Life is sometimes as swift as the wind, and at other times as gentle as water.

After the extreme intensity of that day—the life-and-death struggle, passing the assessment, and becoming an apprentice—Lynn’s life suddenly slowed down.

Two full months had passed since he took over the work of maintaining the magic potions.

During this time, it was as if Lynn had been forgotten by the entire world.

Whether it was his beautiful teacher Rosalind, his always-enthusiastic senior brother Colin, or even his nemesis Riley, who viewed him as a thorn in his side—none of them had come to find him.

If it were just one of them, he could understand.

Perhaps his teacher had forgotten her new student due to being busy.

Or perhaps his senior brother Colin was too preoccupied with heavy responsibilities to pay him any mind.

But as it stood, his teacher, his senior brother, and his enemy were all ignoring him.

Even the witch Sonia had not appeared, which seemed far too abnormal.

"Could something major have happened within the Crucible?"

Lynn frowned in thought. He was neither prone to self-deprecation nor narcissistic enough to believe the world revolved around him.

However, he had learned from Remy that Sonia had also become unusually busy lately.

Even the affairs within the magic herb garden seemed to have suddenly increased; all of this was quite intriguing.

Still, having no one to disturb him was not a bad thing.

At the very least, he could finally practice and study in peace.

At noon, Lynn finished his morning potion maintenance work, ate a simple lunch, and returned to his room, locking the door behind him.

He sat at his desk, rubbed his brow, and whispered softly

"It’s just as well; this time hasn't been wasted..."

A virtual panel appeared before his eyes

………………………………

Over these two months, Lynn had learned all the books and techniques at his disposal by heart. He had read, digested, and thoroughly mastered the contents of every single book.

At the same time, he had gained a deeper understanding of the wizarding world; he was no longer the clueless apprentice he had been two months ago.

"The process of accumulation is dull, but with the support of my talent and the progress bar, the constant sense of gain always pushes me forward..."

Lynn muttered to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

After completing his thorough study of the "Primary Meditation Technique," Lynn had gained a clear and complete understanding of the hierarchy of wizard apprentices.

The growth of a wizard apprentice is divided into three stages

Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, and Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.

A Level 1 Wizard Apprentice is the starting stage of a wizard, with a status almost no different from an ordinary person.

The only advantage is a stronger mental force, which provides a certain degree of spell resistance, but their combat power is far inferior to that of a Knight-level powerhouse.

The standard for promotion is to clearly construct twenty-four rune characters through meditation, which is an important sign that one's mental force has reached the required standard.

Upon reaching this stage, an apprentice can begin to sense the energy that is ubiquitous in the surroundings and choose a future research direction based on the type of energy they sense most clearly.

A Level 2 Wizard Apprentice is a leap forward.

Energy particle radiation begins to appear within their bodies, which not only significantly strengthens their physique but also supports the casting of simple spells.

A wizard at this stage has combat power comparable to a peak Knight-level powerhouse and may even be able to clash briefly with a Great Knight without falling behind.

A Level 3 Wizard Apprentice is even more terrifying.

They not only master multiple powerful spells but can also use the energy particles within their bodies to form strong resistance against both spells and physical attacks.

They are proficient in a technique called "Fragmented Casting," which is similar to using pre-prepared enchanted items to quickly cast powerful spells through simplified fragments of incantations.

This method significantly increases their explosive power in battle.

Although Lynn's talent was not top-tier, it was above average.

With the help of his talent, "Diligence is the Path to Success," his cultivation progress far exceeded that of ordinary people.

With these two factors combined, along with his two months of diligent effort, Lynn's progress was obvious.

In just two short months, Lynn had successfully broken through from a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice to the level of a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.

He practiced his meditation technique to steadily improve his mental force, while simultaneously using the "Life Seed" to attract the surrounding heaven and earth energy, absorbing the necessary energy factors from the environment.

Just yesterday, he had successfully broken through to the Level 2 Wizard Apprentice realm.

With the breakthrough, Lynn's body began to undergo significant changes.

The energy factors accumulated in his body formed a type of energy radiation unique to wizards.

This radiation not only improved his mental force but also greatly strengthened his physical fitness.

Originally, his various physical stats were only at the "1" level, but after breaking through to a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, his stats had nearly quintupled, reaching the "5" level.

This leap in growth allowed Lynn to personally experience the terrifying boost brought about by an increase in a wizard's realm.

Although this was partly due to Lynn's low starting point, it still served to illustrate how astonishing the leap in strength is when a wizard breaks through to a new realm.

Lynn closed his eyes, feeling the flow of energy filling his body.

He clenched his fist, experiencing that unprecedented surge of power, yet he still felt a trace of confusion in his heart

"It's a pity that I still haven't established a clear combat power system. Up until now, I don't even know what level my strength is actually at. Although the increase in realm has brought obvious enhancements, I still have no clear understanding of exactly how strong I have become..."

His mental force had indeed increased significantly, and his physical strength had undergone a qualitative leap, but the specific degree could not be measured.

This made Lynn feel vaguely uneasy.

He had long planned to ask Colin or Sonia for advice, but he had waited for two months, and during that time, he hadn't even seen their faces.

And he himself had broken through from a Level 1 to a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.

"I wonder if they are done with their business yet..."

Lynn sighed.

At noon, he took a short nap in his dormitory, and then began to practice the spells that came with the "Primary Meditation Technique."

During his time as a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, he had learned two Level 0 primary spells

The "Daze Spell" and the "Breath-Holding Spell."

Although they provided some help, they were essentially just small tricks with limited range.

After being promoted to a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, two new practice spells were added to his meditation technique.

This time, the included spells were more common Level 0 intermediate spells

"Fireball" and "Ice Arrow."

These two spells could be considered household names in the wizarding world.

Although they still belonged to the Level 0 category, as intermediate spells, their power was far beyond that of primary spells.

Lynn felt the clear difference

Both the "Daze Spell" and the "Breath-Holding Spell" were intangible, minor tricks that could only function in specific scenarios.

But "Fireball" and "Ice Arrow" were completely different.

By mobilizing the energy factors between heaven and earth, they could condense the void into reality, releasing spells with powerful lethality.

It was precisely from this point on that wizard apprentices would begin to grasp the mysteries of the wizarding world.
