From Wizard Apprentice to Conqueror of Myriad Worlds

Spiritual Energy is the unit Wizards use to measure the amount of Spiritual Power.

The academy’s official store always took advantage of its powerful position, buying low and selling high.

To earn more, the Apprentices spontaneously formed an underground market, the so-called "Apprentice Market."

However, the academy was a massive institution and didn’t care about such paltry profits, so it had always maintained a laissez-faire attitude.

The Noble Lady’s words also held a hidden meaning—she had a way to sell the Spiritual Materials for a better price.

"As for the fish meat..."

The Noble Lady pondered for a moment before saying, "It contains a minuscule amount of Spiritual Power and can be used to strengthen the body.

"If we get the chance to bring this much fish meat back to the academy, we should be able to earn 10 Black Tower Points."

Reina shook her head. "There’s too much meat. That might be difficult."

Mo Ning took the opportunity to say, "Anya, you’ll be in charge of getting rid of the materials. I’ll take half the profits, and you two can split what’s left."

By this calculation, each of the two girls would get at least 10 Black Tower Points.

For them, this was no small sum.

The Dazed Girl couldn’t help but laugh. "Following Mr. Mo Ning always leads to unexpected surprises."

She added with a beaming smile, "Generous Mr. Mo Ning, I’ll love you forever!"

Hearing this, Anya froze for a second and glanced discreetly at Reina.

The Noble Lady suspected that her teammate’s "love" was for more than just the Black Tower Points Mo Ning brought in.

’Perhaps... something else!’

Reina suddenly realized how ambiguous her words sounded, and an embarrassed blush crept onto her fair cheeks.

She opened her mouth to explain, but realized it would only make things worse, so she swallowed the words before they could escape.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward. An indescribable, thick tension hung in the air.

Mo Ning decisively broke the silence with an order, "It’s only nine-thirty. We still have some time before lunch. We can hunt a few more monsters."

The two girls sharply caught onto that phrase—a few more.

Reina’s lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing, only sighing to herself, ’As expected of Mr. Mo Ning. In such terrible weather, killing one Giant Helmet Fish was already incredibly difficult, yet he’s still not satisfied.’

Anya, however, responded crisply, "Okay!"

Mo Ning reached out and opened the Sanctuary, and the stone door once again grew illusory.

BOOM!

A clap of thunder descended from the sky, reverberating through the valley.

As Mo Ning listened to the thunder echo across the horizon, he clearly sensed the Phantom Carved Divine Statue in his Spiritual World stir to life once more.

He also noticed that the concentration of free-floating electrical charges in the air had increased by about forty percent since they entered the valley.

This gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure.

"Go."

Dropping that one word, Mo Ning silently used [Feiyue]. With a light tap of his foot on a stone slab, his entire body shot forward like an arrow released from its bow, skimming across the turbulent water’s surface.

He landed steadily on the opposite bank and strode toward the giant archway.

The topographical analysis ability of his [Eye of Truth] activated, instantly mapping out a hundred-meter radius in the depths of his consciousness based on the different echoes of raindrops hitting stone, mud, and blades of grass.

Even more miraculously, the surrounding electrical charges seemed to be cheering, scrambling to convey all sorts of information to him.

This was something that hadn’t happened before.

He instinctively knew that after miraculously casting a near-Zero Ring Witchcraft and giving the Golem Demon a dose of "Electric Therapy," his control over Thunder Power had taken a qualitative leap, strengthening his Original Soul Seal in the process.

This miraculous phenomenon of gathering information through electrical charges was one of the benefits brought by the Soul Seal.

The two girls exchanged a look and silently followed him.

Mo Ning strode forward, and before long, he was standing before the same giant archway from earlier.

The two massive stones forming the archway were over ten meters tall, like a pair of stone gates pushed open by a giant.

He stopped directly beside the left stone, tilting his head up to look at something above.

His movements were fluid, without a hint of hesitation.

This instantly gave the two girls a feeling—that Mo Ning had known something was here from a great distance away.

Anya subconsciously followed his gaze, but through the thick fog, she could only see damp, green moss.

Reina blinked and traced a circle in the air with her finger.

The [Tracking] Trick was activated.

The Dazed Girl often adventured in the wilderness with Old Buck, so she had constructed many Tricks in her Spiritual World suitable for survival in the wild.

This was one of the main reasons Anya wanted to recruit her for the team.

The next moment, a wisp of invisible Magic Power projected onto the stone’s surface, pulsing with a mysterious rhythm that awakened past traces from their slumber.

A faintly glowing claw print instantly appeared before the three of them.

The print resembled a chicken’s foot, with only four toes, but it was countless times larger. At its longest point, it was half a hand’s length longer than an adult’s palm.

The indentations at the tips of the toes were deep, clearly the marks left by a powerful stomp.

Anya gasped, her voice barely a whisper. "What kind of monster is this?"

Reina shook her head, the stubborn tuft of hair on her forehead wobbling along with it. "I don’t know."

Both pairs of beautiful eyes landed on the back of Mo Ning’s head, filled with deep astonishment.

At that moment, in the two girls’ minds, the young man seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious aura.

’How did he know?’

Mo Ning guessed his teammates’ question. Pointing to the sky, he offered an answer, "The thunderbolt told me everything just now."
