Chapter 161 System Upgrade
Lucian did not upgrade directly, but checked the new bond effect first.

This witchcraft bond was much more difficult to obtain than expected.

Originally according to Lucian's speculation, this bond should be successfully unlocked after Carly thoroughly masters the bloodline magic [Moonfall], but in the end, this bond was unlocked later than Lucian expected. Moreover, judging from the description on the system panel, this bond has only been unlocked in the initial stage and there is obviously room for improvement in the future.

"The bond effect is actually also effective for the official witchcraft [Frost Blade Dance], which can reduce the frost blade condensation time by 10%? I just don't know what kind of changes will happen after the bond is upgraded. Or, will the skill 'Moon Blade' play an important role in Kali's subsequent bloodline evolution route?"

After checking the effect of this bond, Lucian quickly came up with some guesses in his mind.

However, these guesses in Lucian's mind still needed to be verified, and he soon woke up from this brief thinking.

"Mentor Lucian?" Carly saw Lucian come back to his senses from his previous state of thinking. At this time, she couldn't help but look at Lucian. While she seemed a little concerned, her expression also seemed a little nervous.

After all, every time Mentor Lucian was in deep thought during the teaching process, he seemed to be thinking about something related to teaching and improvement.

"Nothing..." Lucian hesitated slightly, but looking at Carly, he thought about it and felt that he should remind Carly.

"When you become proficient in bloodline power, it's best not to neglect the use of the 'Moon Blade' series of moves... Then, I will teach you the witchcraft rune model of the 'Moon Blade' series of moves, and you should learn accordingly. I don't require you to use the rune model to perform the Moon Blade in battle, but at least you should understand it well enough."

"Yes!" Carly didn't ask why at first, but after she agreed, she was still a little curious about Mentor Lucian's serious attitude at this time.

"Master Lucian, can you tell me the reason?" Carly blinked her big eyes and stood on tiptoe slightly to make her face higher from the ground.

"Emmm... It's just my guess now, but I'm not very sure. But at least it won't do you any harm to learn more." Lucian thought about it and gave Carly an ambiguous answer.

Carly nodded thoughtfully and kept this matter firmly in mind.

After all, judging from previous experiences, everything that Mentor Lucian said and the knowledge he explained were all correct, which also made Carly have an inexplicable trust in Lucian.

……

"It's finally time to upgrade the system."

At night, when Lucian returned to his room, he opened the system panel and started upgrading the system.

[The system is being upgraded...]

[5...10...75...97...]

The reading bar on the system upgrade panel gradually filled up, and then after a crisp prompt sound, the system upgrade was declared completely complete.

【System upgrade completed】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining {Bound Student Qualification}*2]

[Reverence value system upgrade completed]

……

Looking at the details that had changed due to the system upgrade, Lucian quickly checked the system panel and soon found the changes after the system upgrade.

The first is the binding quota for two students, which means that in addition to Carly, there are two more people to take advantage of... no, two more people to teach carefully.

In addition to the quota for bound students, the biggest change in this system upgrade is a major upgrade to the respect value system.

Simply put, upgrades are mainly divided into two points.

The first is that Lucian's reverence is no longer limited to bound students, but other wizards or wizard apprentices can also provide Lucian with corresponding reverence. However, the reverence provided by these non-bound students is much lower than that of students who have been bound by apprentices such as Carly.

For example, if Carly and the others provided him with 100 points of reverence, then an unbound student might only be able to provide him with less than 10 points of reverence. However, Lucian knew that the number of unbound students was much larger than that of bound students, and with the absolute advantage in numbers, the amount of reverence these unbound students would provide him would be extremely considerable.

The second point is to deeply bind Lucian's reverence value and mental strength.

In simple terms, with the help of the system's reverence, Lucian can directly use these reverence points to "tune" his mental power to speed up his mental power improvement. Similarly, modules such as the previous identification module and teaching module that require payment of reverence points can now also choose to use mental power to pay instead, which is somewhat similar to casting a spell.

This change is a mixed blessing for Lucian. The advantage is that with the help of the system's reverence system, his strength improvement is like turning on an accelerator. He only needs to continue to gain reverence to continuously improve his strength, which is particularly beneficial for Lucian, who is now in charge of the Gray Bone Academy.

However, the flaw is that after using mental power instead of reverence to pay for the identification module and the teaching module, Lucian's single use of these two modules will be subject to certain restrictions. After all, whether it is the identification module or the teaching module, the consumption of mental power is not small. Even with Lucian's mental power far exceeding that of other formal wizards, it is a rather difficult task to continuously use the teaching auxiliary module or the identification module.

But overall, the major upgrade to the reverence system brought about by this system upgrade is a good thing for me.

Lucian closed his eyes gently, feeling the slow and steady growth of his mental power.

This was not the effect of meditation, but the tempering of his mental power by the reverence value at this moment. Even Lucian only needed to close his eyes and use his mental power to sense the reverence value points that were like small hammers gently hitting and tempering his mental power, and he could feel a wizard apprentice who contributed reverence value to him.

These apprentices who contributed a lot of respect to themselves were basically the first beneficiaries of the improvement of the academy's teaching system. At this time, the respect they contributed to Lucian, who promoted the reform of the academy, became the nourishment for Lucian to accelerate the improvement of his own strength.

“Perhaps this is mutual help and an unexpected success.” Lucian smiled in his heart. He had no intention of exploiting these poor and weak apprentices, but perhaps sometimes, the rewards will always come back to him in some special way.

……

"Teacher Siani, this is my contribution this month." In Siani's laboratory, Tang En respectfully placed ten magic stones on Siani's laboratory table.

"Oh, I understand, but wait a moment." Siani is a male wizard with messy hair and looks a little unkempt.

He glanced at Tang En, who looked a little restrained, and nodded slightly. Then he took out a contract from a drawer beside him. This was the apprenticeship contract he and Tang En signed when Tang En entered the school.

"According to Dean Lucian's new regulations, the contracts signed by our apprentices before can be terminated by redemption. Of course, if you are still willing to continue to be my student, we can also sign a new contract according to the regulations..." Siani took out another piece of parchment from the side, and his voice sounded a little lazy.

Tang En picked up the new and old contracts carefully and began to examine them nervously.

Originally, Tang En thought that the new contract would contain some stricter terms, but what he didn't expect was that the terms of this contract were unexpectedly generous.

There were no mandatory monthly "contributions" or rigid requirements for cooperating with experiments. Although there were still some requirements, they were just easy tasks like cleaning the herb garden and planting some special herbs...

This also made Tang En take action in his heart. He signed his name on the new contract almost without hesitation and imprinted his spiritual mark on it, thus transferring his apprenticeship contract from the old version to this new version of the contract.

Looking at Tang En who was standing submissive in front of him, Siani remained silent, but he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

In his opinion, he treated his apprentices better than other formal wizards. For some experiments that would lead to certain death, he would basically choose death row prisoners or slaves for the experiments.
During the years that he had been a mentor at Gray Bone Academy, only two apprentices had died in accidents during experiments, and both were caused by factors beyond his control.

But even so, some of Lucian's "education reforms" still burned him.

"Forget it, it's troublesome. I don't need an apprentice anyway. The most I can do is to troubleshoot the drugs in the future." Siani muttered to himself and quickly put the matter behind him.

As an excellent pharmacist, Siani has no shortage of magic stones. Perhaps this is why he treats his apprentice relatively gently.

However, just because Siani doesn't care doesn't mean that other official wizards don't care.

For some formal wizards, teaching apprentices is a "good business" and an important part of their income.

But now, this important link has been shaken. Although the interests affected are only a small part, many official wizards are like cats whose tails have been stepped on, and they have a fierce reaction to the protection policy promoted by Lucian.
