Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

When Dude's name was called, the other students all showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

Having a good teacher is one thing, but now it seems like this new teacher has taken a liking to her too. Luck really is a factor...

Summer was the first to leave the classroom, while Bro had already run away.

Dudley didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and after hesitating for a while, he followed her out.

The two walked one after the other, and Xia Jian asked a lot of questions along the way, but most of them were about her birthplace and parents.

Dud didn't understand what Xia Jian wanted to do, but facing a formal wizard, he could only answer honestly with trepidation.

After getting the answer she wanted, Xia Jian fell silent again.

After a long while, Xia Jian looked at Du De and slowly said, "I have something to tell you, so you should be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Dude was taken aback. Although he didn't know what Xia Jian meant, he felt a little uneasy looking at Xia Jian's serious expression.

"Teacher, is it about my parents?"

"I asked through gritted teeth," Dudley said.

After all, Xia Jian asked a lot of questions about his hometown, which suggests that the person in question is likely someone who knows his parents.

Xia Jian sighed and told Du De about the manor couple's situation.

Xia Jian could have stayed out of it, but since he had coincidentally run into Du De, and since he had received favors from the manor couple, there were some things he couldn't avoid.

Even if he leaves today, he probably won't be able to overcome that hurdle in his heart. It's better to resolve it as soon as possible.

"My parents..."

Upon hearing Xia Jian's words, Dude's eyes turned red.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and Dudley burst into tears, unable to accept it.

In particular, knowing that his parents died on their way to the capital meant that their deaths were also closely related to him.

Xia Jian felt somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hide it, but such things could be easily discovered with a little investigation, unless he kept quiet about it.

It was his own fault for not thinking things through; he was only thinking about repaying the manor couple as soon as possible.

If Dude hadn't shown up, the last bandit suppression would have already been enough to repay him.

But now that Dud has appeared, things are different. The manor owner is also his savior, and in Xia Jian's current view, that little bit of repayment is far from enough.

Seeing the growing number of students around him, Xia Jian couldn't help but frown slightly, his powerful mental energy sweeping over them.

"Don't you guys have anything to do?"

Seeing that Xia Jian was about to unleash his power, the students apologized in fear and then hurriedly left the place.

Looking at the scattering crowd, Xia Jian shook his head slightly, then took out the Shadow Ball, and a black shadow carried the two of them swiftly towards the Wizard Tower.

…………

Wizard Tower.

After a period of adjustment, Dudley finally calmed down.

"Although I have never met your parents, I have indirectly benefited from their kindness. You can make a request that I can help you with, including becoming an advanced wizard."

Xia Jian sat in the main seat of the living room and looked at Du De, whose eyes were red and swollen, and spoke slowly.

Dude is currently only in the late stage of his apprenticeship and is still quite far from perfection, but for Shaga, there are plenty of ways to accelerate his cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Dud looked at Xia Jian with some surprise, as Xia Jian's tone suggested that he would definitely be able to advance to the level of a wizard.

Xia Jian was only a first-level wizard, not even as strong as his teacher.

Even his teacher wouldn't dare say such a thing, otherwise the world would be full of professional wizards by now.

I don't know where the other person got their confidence from, as if advancing to the next level was a very simple thing.

After a moment of silence, Dud lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with guilt: "Thank you for your kindness, teacher, but saving you has nothing to do with me. I have no other requests."

If it weren't for his departure, his parents wouldn't have died. It was all his fault. He never expected that leaving without saying goodbye would lead to such consequences.

Hearing this, Xia Jian frowned slightly; this was not the outcome he wanted.

I just don't know if this guy is playing hard to get, trying to gain long-term benefits, or if he simply has no other desires.

"Although you have good talent, you should know that becoming a wizard is not just about having talent. Even the most talented people can fail."

Seeing that Dud was about to refuse, Xia Jian spoke up again.

"There's no need to answer now. You can come back to me when you've thought it through. This is a suitable pill for you. You can go back now."

As he spoke, Xia Jian took out two bottles of pills from his spatial bag and used telekinesis to deliver them to Du De.

After a moment's thought, Dud accepted the pill from Xia Jian: "Thank you, teacher."

Summer waved his hand, and Dud didn't linger, turning and leaving the wizard tower.

…………

After Dud left, Xia Jian slumped into a chair.

As expected, nothing is absolute. I never expected to run into the manor couple's son here, the one who was originally supposed to be dead.

Despite the large number of wizard apprentices in the academy, a city of a million people might not be able to find even 10 talented ones.

Moreover, when Dud disappeared, it was actually because a wizard here took a liking to him and brought him back to Neilbella.

"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. I embarked on the wizarding path that others dream of, but..."

Xia Jian sighed softly.

But that's how the world is; even walking can lead to a fall and death. No one can guarantee that their journey will be smooth sailing.

"But this guy seems a bit difficult to deal with; we need to get this sorted out as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Xia Jian couldn't help but frown.

Repaying kindness seems very simple; all you have to do is give the other person what they need.

But actually?

The greater his strength, the greater this favor will be.

For example, if he is the strongest wizard in the world, then simply helping him advance to become a formal wizard is obviously not enough, and the price he has to pay will increase significantly.

Even someone as carefree as him couldn't simply let go of such a debt of gratitude.

The biggest benefit he can offer right now is to help him advance to the rank of a formal wizard, which is the limit of what he can do at the moment.

As for further advancement, he hasn't even reached that level yet; saying it out loud would only make him a laughingstock.

Moreover, Dud is not a dark wizard, which makes it much more difficult for him to advance to the second rank or higher, and it is far beyond his ability.

"Forget it, what's done is done. Let's wait a few days and see. Maybe Dud will change his mind someday."

Without dwelling on the matter any longer, Xia Jian decided to wait and see.

Now that Dud's parents have passed away, becoming a wizard is theoretically what Dud needs most at this stage.

Unless Dud is confident that he can advance to become a formal wizard, which would not be a good thing for Xia Jian and would lead to unpredictable consequences.
