While improving.
As the assessment concluded, new changes quickly emerged.
Inside the Wizard Tower.
Farn reported respectfully.
"My lord, we have over a dozen invitations here. The most important ones are from Lord Gunnar and the head of the Iron Mountain family, who wish to meet with you."
"Secondly, the families that previously sponsored you, sir, have also increased their investments, estimated to be around tens of thousands of magic stones. In addition, some neutral families within the Four Symbols Academy have also sent gifts to express their goodwill."
"In addition to these, some of the top families in other courtyards also sent a lot of gifts and invited you to some banquets."
Ian sat in the chair, flipping through various letters while listening to Farn's report.
have to say.
The previous chief was only promoted because Flynn stepped down, and many people were just watching and waiting.
But this time they defeated Ivan.
Not only the core members, but also various families seem to recognize his status as the chief of the Four Symbols Academy.
Only then did he truly realize the status and resources that a chief executive should have.
The funding and resources from the branch academy and the family alone may even exceed the resources that the chief should have.
can only say.
Resources tend to flow to the strong.
"I'm afraid I'll be busy for the next two weeks."
Ian smiled.
This is a happy kind of trouble.
"Fan, give me Lord Joganna..."
""
He arranged everything methodically.
These important figures definitely need to be met, and large families also need to be given face. Smaller families can be met selectively.
Now...
He's not someone you can just meet whenever you want, even if you come from a certain family.
the next day.
After meeting with several family representatives in the morning, Ian boarded a carriage and headed to Wind Whisper Academy.
"Nicole!"
From a distance, Ian spotted Nicole by the roadside.
"Ian, my father is already waiting for you!"
Nicole ran over and took Ian's arm, her eyes full of admiration.
Although he is also a core member, he only ranks among the top three in the Wind Whisper Academy.
They are all some distance from the second-place finisher.
Not to mention the chief.
Becoming the chief is practically a guaranteed spot in the second ring.
"Um."
Ian nodded and quickly arrived at Gunnar's Wizard Tower.
"My lord, please come with me."
A servant respectfully led Ian toward the second floor of the wizard tower, which puzzled Ian.
Because we always met on the top floor before.
"The adults are in the reception room. Only important people are met in the main reception room!"
The servant turned to him and explained.
Ian paused, then realized that their meetings had indeed taken place in Gunnar's office.
Or rather, before becoming the chief, he was never really taken seriously by Gunnar, until now.
interesting.
Ian smiled faintly and followed the servant into the reception room.
This is a luxurious room.
The ground was made of two-ring stone, and in the center was a sofa covered with two-ring fur. The witchcraft scrolls hanging on the walls flowed slowly; they were precious artifacts that sealed the witchcraft circuits. There was even a small pond in the corner, where several high-quality spirit fish swam.
Gunnar sat on the sofa.
He smiled as Ian walked in.
"sit!"
"Yes, sir."
Ian responded politely.
"No need to be so polite." Gunnar nodded in satisfaction, then said, "There are actually two things we need to discuss during this meeting."
"Let's start with the first thing, regarding the funding for you. Now that you've been promoted to chief, things are naturally different."
talking.
He took out a metal box and handed it to Ian.
"This is?"
Ian took it and slowly opened it.
A gust of wind blade emerged from it, and Ian instinctively blocked it before looking into the box.
All that could be seen inside was a fist-sized, translucent crystal with a pale blue liquid flowing inside.
At this moment, wind blades were swirling around, and even the iron box had developed marks.
"Wind Soul Crystal Marrow is a precious resource that only appears in the depths of the Wind Abyss. It can increase the resonance of the wind element. This piece is so big that it should be enough to increase your elemental resonance to over 90%."
Gunnar explained.
Ian's eyes widened immediately.
His wind element resonance level is currently 87%. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least half a year to reach 90%.
But how could such a small resource have such an effect?
Its rarity is self-evident.
"Thank you, sir. If the Edward family ever needs any help in the future, I will assist them as long as it is within reasonable limits."
Ian made a direct commitment.
Gunnar nodded in satisfaction. This kind of loyal and compassionate wizard was exactly what their wizarding families liked best.
"What is the second thing, sir?"
Putting away the resources, Ian suddenly asked curiously.
Gunnar looked at Ian and then asked, "Ian, what do you think of Nicole?"
Ian: ? ? ?
Before he could speak, Gunnar continued, "If you're willing, I'm willing to give Nicole to you in marriage!"
"Sir, what is this?"
Ian was also stunned for a moment.
This is so sudden!
"What, you don't want to?"
Gunnar stared at Ian, and he immediately felt immense pressure.
"My lord, of course I'm willing."
Ian grinned, but still said, "But my situation is more complicated."
"You mean your previous women?"
Gunnar, however, seemed to know what he was going to say and asked.
Ian nodded.
Gunnar smiled and said, "Ian, you have to understand, you are the top student in the First Academy. In your current state, I think you will have no problem advancing to the second ring. But your women are probably only at the first ring level."
It's normal for a powerful wizard to have many women, but you need to understand which ones can help you go further.
"I don't need you to stay away from those women; time will tell."
Ian fell silent, which was unusual for him this time.
Indeed it is.
As his strength improved, Chris and others gradually fell behind him.
This was not his intention.
But that's just the way it is.
Or rather, this is something Ian doesn't want to face, but Gunnar brought it up very bluntly today.
However, he remained silent for only a few seconds.
Ian then calmed down.
He reflected on his journey from the time he traveled to the present, trying to understand what he truly desired in his heart.
Learn more knowledge, experience more mystery, and see more beautiful scenery.
Aren't these things part of the scenery themselves?
Why is he so conflicted?
He just needs to accept everything along the way and enjoy it; does the outcome matter?
unimportant!
"I'm willing, but I need to tell my teacher first."
Ian looked up again and said calmly.
He likes Nicole, so why reject her?
At this time, he belonged to the Four Symbols Academy, while Nicole belonged to the Wind Whisper Academy. The combination of the two actually involved more about power.
Kieran's opinion is naturally important.
"it is good."
Gunnar nodded.
"But this is a crucial moment for you to advance to the second ring. Let's postpone the wedding until after you advance."
"Can."
Ian nodded again.
"Keep going. The first ring road is just the first ring road. Only when you reach the second ring road can you access a wider world."
Gunnar slowly stood up.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
Ian expressed his gratitude.
The two then walked out of the room and saw Nicole already waiting outside the door.
Ian reached out his hand.
The latter immediately smiled and offered his hand right under Gunnar's nose.
But this time he didn't say anything!
"I've got another fiancée!"
Return to Shishoin Temple.
Ian was also filled with emotion, but he didn't resist too much; it was something that should happen naturally.
"Then go find the teacher."
He went to the summit of Shixiangyuan Peak.
However, they were told that Kieran had gone out and would not return for about half a month.
Ian then returned.
After returning.
The next few days.
Ian also moved between various families and forces.
As expected, the Tieshan family also provided amazing resource support, including a core of earth vein essence.
This thing is also a valuable resource for enhancing resonance.
Fortunately, the Tieshan family was willing to give it up.
Of course, the Iron Mountain family had a request: they hoped that after advancing in the future, they could help them improve some alchemical creations.
Ian readily agreed.
The resources from other factions were scattered, and Ian collected approximately 80,000 resources.
Of course, besides these things, these past few days have also been filled with other issues.
Ian is also doing something else important.
That is to use the chief's authority to find the supplementary knowledge that combines the four elements into one. There are three in total. One of them was found in the library, and it was a top-level knowledge in one link.
The other two doors were also not found.
This also put Ian in a difficult position.
As knowledge increases, the difficulty of finding supplementary knowledge also increases.
He planned to seek Kiran's help.
Let's see if he has a solution.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a month has passed.
Having confirmed that Kieran had returned, Ian rushed to the Wizard Tower.
I saw Kieran again.
Ian was taken aback.
Because at this moment, Kieran seemed to be in a poor mental state.
"I went to the front lines, killed a few second-tier players, and got a few injuries, but it's nothing serious," Kieran waved his hand.
How many people from the Second Ring Road were killed?
Ian grinned.
All I can say is that the teacher is still very good.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
Kieran looked at Ian.
"Teacher, there are two things."
Ian told Kieran what had happened.
"The Edward family? Sure." Kieran agreed after only a moment's thought.
"You want to find some new knowledge to supplement your existing knowledge, preferably related to the Four Symbols."
Kieran frowned in thought for a moment, then slowly stood up and said to Ian, "Come with me!"
soon.
Kieran then led him to another room.
The huge bookshelves were arranged, making it look like a small library.
"This is my private library; you are welcome to take a look," Kieran said directly.
Ian's gaze was fixed on a book on a bookshelf, where he could only see red lines.
This is precisely the supplementary knowledge needed for the integration of the four elements.
"Okay, teacher."
Ian, of course, couldn't be that direct. He flipped through a lot of books and finally chose that one.
"Elemental Armor!"
Kieran glanced at it, remembered that it was a protective spell based on the four elements, and nodded.
But seeing Ian's still furrowed brow, Kieran spoke up.
"Isn't it here?"
He simply asked.
Ian nodded.
He didn't expect it either.
Kieran's library didn't even have the remaining supplementary knowledge of meditation and witchcraft.
"If you want to know more about this, you can go to the Winster family," Kieran said.
The Winsters?
Ian was taken aback.
Because this family is the same family behind Ivan, but aren't they at odds with Kieran? How can he get in?
"Don't worry, they'll agree at this point."
Kieran said calmly.
Then a warrant was given to Ian, instructing him to go and find it.
Completely bewildered, Ian actually went with the warrant the next day.
To his surprise, he had a smooth journey and entered the Winster family's private library.
Although the supplementary knowledge for meditation has not yet been found, the final supplementary knowledge for the unity of the four elements has been found.
Even after Ian took the knowledge out, he was still completely bewildered.
"Father, are we just going to let Ian take our family's knowledge and leave like this?"
Inside a room in the Winster family compound, Ivan looked at the wizard before him with puzzlement.
The family patriarch, who was also his father, Elijah Winster.
Elijah merely glanced at him and said, "The academy-wide assessment will be held in a year. If no one from our academy makes it into the top five at that time, will the academy reduce the resources allocated to our Four Symbols Academy? Kiran has less influence, but we are different. If resources are reduced, the loss to our interests will be too great."
"Ian is stronger than you and has a chance to make it into the top five. It's nothing for him to need a little knowledge, and we'll even help him with whatever resources he needs!"
Ivan's lips twitched.
But there was no way to refute it.
"Who told you to be so useless!"
Elijah turned and glanced at him, then sighed.
The latter immediately fell silent and lowered his head.
"One more needed?"
Inside the Wizard Tower.
Kieran looked at Ian, not asking why Ian knew he was missing a piece of knowledge, but calmly said, "You've definitely gone through the channels to learn it. If you're still missing something, then it's indeed difficult."
Ian's expression was also not good.
After all, this is related to his advancement, and he must complete the five-level meditation technique, but he has not yet obtained the knowledge to complete it.
"There's really nothing we can do right now. Just focus on improving yourself. You should have a chance after the next college-wide assessment."
Kieran spoke up.
After the next assessment.
opportunity?
Ian had doubts, but Kieran couldn't lie to him, so he could only nod. Anyway, he was still a long way from advancing and couldn't wait any longer.
I just don't know what this opportunity is!
"What other resources do you need?"
Kieran suddenly asked.
What's missing?
Ian was taken aback, not understanding why Kieran suddenly asked that question.
However, he still said, "We lack resources that can quickly increase the resonance level of the water element."
"Sure, I'll talk to the Winster family, and you can go get it then," Kieran said.
Ian's lips twitched.
At this point, he naturally understood that Kieran was extorting him, and why Kieran was willing to be extorted.
"You must be in the top five in the assessment one year from now, otherwise you'll have to take all these resources back."
Kieran told him directly.
"clear."
Ian nodded.
One day later.
Ian emerged from the Winster family residence, holding a bottle of dark blue liquid that radiated a low temperature.
It is also a precious resource.
And with these resources...
Ian began his ascension.
In the blink of an eye.
Six months have passed.
Ian's overall resonance level exceeded 90%.
