This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 158 Punishment, Meditation Method
The golden lightning, the terrifying pressure, and the instant disappearance of the wizard Lotu who was not far away made Carly break out in a layer of cold sweat behind her, and she couldn't help but feel surprised.

But soon she saw Mentor Lucian in the crowd. At this time, a strange card was floating in front of him, and inside the card, she could see two figures fighting each other in the card space.

One of them is a girl in a red dress holding a doll, with ghostly movements, sometimes splitting into seven parts to entangle with the opponent, and sometimes changing into a terrifying monster to attack. The other is a "humanoid weapon" surrounded by lightning, constantly manipulating mechanical devices to defend and counterattack. The fierce battle between the two sides is now confined to the small plane space of the card, giving people the illusion of watching a passionate fighting cartoon.

The official wizards who were not present did not think this scene was so warm. Instead, they felt shocked and cold in their hearts.

You should know that the one who was suddenly added to the card was Luotu, a second-level wizard in the tower. He was a very powerful wizard among the second-level wizards.

But at this moment, he was put into a card without any warning, and even met an opponent inside the card who could fight against him on equal terms in a short period of time.

What shocked these wizards even more was that the person who caused all this was Lucian, a first-level wizard who had just been promoted not long ago.

Recalling the scene in which Lucian forcefully suppressed the wizard Helen, who had been promoted to a second-level nightmare creature, in the battle at Greybone Academy, many formal wizards were horrified and equated Lucian with half a second-level wizard.

Bang! With a slight sound, Wizard Luotu escaped from the card space. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Obviously, in order to get out of that strange card space as soon as possible, he had suffered some losses in the fight with Wizard Helen just now.

Beside Lucian, the little girl in the red dress slowly emerged. Her eyes were empty, but the aura she exuded was that of a second-level wizard. Compared to normal wizards, the aura exuded by Helen the wizard was even more weird, and full of some characteristics that nightmare creatures should have.

“This is... Wizard Helen!” Many formal wizards’ eyes widened, but because Lucian could now control Wizard Helen, who was at the second-level wizard level, they dared only lower their voices even if they exclaimed, for fear that they would be affected by this game at the second-level wizard level.

Wizard Lotu looked deeply at Wizard Helen who was floating beside Lucian, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he was not particularly afraid.

After all, in the previous fight, if Helen Wizard had not taken advantage of the home field and he was anxious to leave that space, he would have been absolutely confident that he could defeat Helen Wizard. Even if he had not focused on killing Carly quickly, he might not have been so easily transferred to that space by Helen Wizard.

Lucian quickly blocked Carly behind him, and at the same time controlled the wizard Helen to confront the wizard Lotu from a distance.

"Okay." The originally silent third-level wizard Dela Torre spoke slowly, and at the same time a pressure enveloped the wizard Lotu, and part of it also affected Lucian and Carly.

"Lord De La Torre, please forgive me as a poor old man who just lost his nephew." Wizard Lotu lowered his head hurriedly, hoping to gain De La Torre's forgiveness with humility.

"Rules are rules," De La Torre said in a very calm tone, and then extended a hand.

wow——

Lucian only felt his eyes blurry, and then the wizard Lotu was caught by a huge energy hand created by De La Torre, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

The next moment, with a gentle squeeze from the energy hand, the body of the wizard Luotu began to irreversibly disintegrate, and the whole person was crushed into pieces under the kneading of the big hand, with springs, gears and some metal fragments flying everywhere.

“He’s… dead just like that?” Lucian was horrified.

"Not really." The Graybone Wizard smiled, but still quietly told Lucian some basic common sense. "It's just a metal puppet made by that guy Luotu. If this metal puppet is destroyed, that guy must be heartbroken! Hahaha..."

During the conversation, the Graybone Wizard did not hide his gloating in the least. However, unlike the previous conversation between him and Lucian, which was almost like a command between a superior and a subordinate, his attitude towards Lucian was now more enthusiastic, his tone was more equal, and there was even a hint of winning him over in his words.

Lucian now has a second-level wizard in his hands. For the Grey Valley Wizard, he is a "good helper" that is truly worthy of his attention.

"Mentor Lucian..." Carly was still a little frightened at this time. At a certain moment just now, she really felt that she was about to die. Thinking back on it now, she still felt waves of fear and palpitations.

"I'll deal with you when I get back." Lucian glanced at Carly, and after silently taking back the wizard Helen, he looked at the pile of scattered metal parts on the ground. Combined with the information that the Gray Bone Wizard had just told him, Lucian had a new understanding of the terrifying power of the third-level wizard.

Carly stuck out her tongue, but seemed to have thought of something. She giggled and then took out a large bag from her space bracelet as if offering a treasure. From the mouth of the bag that could not be completely sealed, one could see badges shining with metallic luster.

Many official wizards stared at the large bag of badges in Carly's hand with their eyes wide open. However, when they saw Lucian, the little flames in their hearts also went out. After all, the man in front of them was really not to be trifled with!

……

"It was full when we left, but a little sparse when we came back."

On the way back, Lucian looked at the wizard apprentices who seemed a little sparse in the airship and shook his head slightly.

It was only after Carly set up a safe zone in the secret realm that they were saved. Otherwise, according to Lucian's previous estimation, it would be considered very good if 1/10 of the wizard apprentices who entered the bloody secret realm could survive.

But even so, more than half of the wizard apprentices of the Grey Bone Academy were killed. Including the previous siege on the academy, the loss rate of wizard apprentices of the Grey Bone Academy has exceeded 65%. It will take several years or even more than ten years to gradually recover to the original level.

"Master Lucian, what did you exchange for the badge this time..." Just as Lucian was lost in thought, Carly appeared from the side. She was smiling, and although there was no sign of "Praise me, praise me" written on her face, her words were all about the badge, and her intention was self-evident.

Lucian silently stretched out his hand, grabbed Carly's ear, which was a little pointy compared to a normal person's, and pinched it gently.

“It hurts, it hurts…” Carly covered her ears, looking a little pitiful.

"Do you feel that you performed well and amazingly in the secret realm?" Lucian glanced at Carly, who was pretending to be pitiful at the moment, and increased the strength of his hand in an unhappily manner.

Carly chuckled but said nothing and didn't resist, causing Lucian's scolding to become more and more formal, until she couldn't say anything anymore.

"Hehehe... Mentor Lucian, I get it. Next time I will..." The moment Lucian let go of her hand, Carly ran away. This made Lucian, who had a lot to say but didn't know how to tell Carly, freeze in place for a moment.

But after a moment of stunned silence, Lucian couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

Then, he took advantage of the time when the airship returned to the academy to take out a new meditation method that he had exchanged for the badge.

This is the meditation method from the third-level wizard De La Torre. According to the description on the previous exchange list, it is enough to cultivate to the third-level wizard level. It is one step better than the Grey Bone Meditation Method circulated within the Grey Bone Academy.

After Lucian purchases this meditation method, it can be passed on or taught.

Even before, the Graybone Wizard had communicated with him that if Lucian was willing to contribute this meditation method to the Graybone Academy, he would receive a generous amount of resources in return.

However, for Lucian, this meditation method is of greater use to him. Although it will be taught to wizard apprentices or formal wizards in the Greybone Academy later, it will not be sold directly, but in another way.

But now, what Lucian needs to do is to learn the formal wizard level of this meditation method first, so as to facilitate subsequent teaching and the development of a series of plans.

This meditation method is called "Starry Sky". It is a meditation method created by imitating the movement of stars in the sky. According to the introduction in the meditation method, Lucian also has a more detailed understanding of the formal wizard level.

Simply put, when a wizard apprentice completes his promotion, his spiritual sea will be shattered, and the materialized spiritual sea will absorb the fragments of the original spiritual sea, establishing a "void port" in the void. It will continue to be purified in the process of resisting energy waves, and eventually condense the port into a "singularity" with a very fine texture.

The process of a third-level wizard being promoted to a fourth-level wizard is to shatter this singularity that has been polished to the extreme, and use the massive mental power contained within the singularity to open up a half-plane space of his own.

The process from a first-level wizard to a third-level wizard is a process of constantly polishing and purifying the singularity. In this process, meditation mainly plays the role of a "grindstone".

As a meditation method that allows formal wizards to gradually reach the third-level wizard level, "Starry Sky" can mobilize up to 180 spirit runes to help temper mental power. The effect is about 50% higher than the double bone snake tempering method that Lucian himself rubbed out.

This is considered to be an upper-middle level of meditation among the many formal wizards.
