Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

three days later.

In a small forest, there stands a towering white tower.

Standing in front of the forest, Xia Jian turned to look at the steep mountain path behind him, inwardly cursing the scenery.

"These people must be seriously ill. Why would they choose to come to this remote corner of the city, making me waste two days of my time!"

Fortunately, I finally found the Temple of Illusion, which will be my residence for studying for the next period of time.

As soon as he entered the forest, Xia Jian sensed a strong fluctuation of elements, followed by a burst of spiritual energy sweeping over him at an extremely fast speed.

Before Xia Jian could figure out what was going on, a large bird with gray feathers, a rooster-like crest, and about five meters long appeared above him.

"Bang!"

The large bird crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Xia Jian drew his longsword and stared nervously at the large bird, his eyes scanning the surroundings for a place to hide.

But just then, the big bird spoke.

"Hehe, I can have an extra meal today."

The large bird's eyes held a mocking look, as if it were looking at a small insect.

"I'm here on someone's behalf. If you want to eat, then eat her."

Xia Jian picked up the little girl and held her in front of him, then handed her towards the big bird.

The little girl was completely bewildered, never expecting Xia Jian to be so unreliable, and immediately burst into loud sobs.

Big Bird seemed surprised by Natsumi's reaction, his playful gaze momentarily blank.

In that instant, Xia Jian swung his sword at the bird's head without warning, and a black sword aura shot straight at the bird's eyes.

"You're asking for it!"

Realizing it had been tricked, the giant bird flapped its wings and created a strong gust of wind that shattered the black sword energy.

Just as the large bird's beak was about to peck at Xia Jian, a black light flashed in Xia Jian's hand, followed by a black arrow shooting out.

Because the two were too close, the large bird had no way to dodge and was pierced in the eye by the black arrow.

The large bird, in pain, flapped its wings wildly, creating a gust of wind that sent surrounding trees flying.

"You damned ant, you're dead!"

The large bird emitted a sharp, angry cry.

But when it was about to make a move against Xia Jian, it found that Xia Ye had already disappeared in front of it.

The giant bird scanned its surroundings with its spiritual power, hoping to find any trace of Xia Jian.

"Found you!"

In a short while, the big bird sensed the little girl under the big tree behind it, and believed that the young boy should be nearby.

Just as the giant bird was feeling smug, Xia Jian had already leaped onto its head, his longsword covered in black, and thrust it straight at the bird's head with unstoppable momentum.

The big bird's eyes revealed astonishment, seemingly not expecting Xia Jian to be so fast.

But just as Xia Jian was about to succeed, a violent energy struck from the side, blasting the unsuspecting Xia Jian away.

Seeing Xia Jian fall to the ground, the angry bird spread its wings and swooped down, wanting to devour Xia Jian, this ant.

"Okay, stop!"

Just then, a faint voice came from the forest, followed by a man in a white robe walking out.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the bird's angry gaze vanished, replaced by a fawning expression.

"Respected Wizard Harvey, I will deal with this reptile immediately and ensure that it will not disturb your peace."

Having said that, the large bird soared straight down from the sky towards Xia Jian.

"I said, stop!"

The wizard Harvey's cold voice rang out.

A semi-transparent giant hand appeared in the air and then slapped the bird down.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The large bird was badly injured upon impact, and a spurt of blood gushed from its mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The large bird lay on the ground, its eyes filled with fear as it repeatedly apologized.

Xia Jian stood up and looked at the white-robed wizard with a wary expression.

It all happened so fast that he didn't even realize it before he was sent flying by the opponent's attack. The legendary wizards really live up to their reputation!

"Which faction are you from, daring to come to our Illusion Heart Temple alone?"

Wizard Harvey walked up to Xia Jian and looked at him calmly, asking a question.

"My lord wizard, I have not joined any faction. I am here on someone's behalf to bring this little girl to a man named Collison."

Faced with the opponent's overwhelming strength, Xia Jian instantly became much more obedient, and even his voice became much more respectful.

These days, you have to be timid when necessary, lest you die without knowing why.

"Collison?"

Harvey frowned, then looked at the little girl hiding behind the big tree and said calmly, "Come with me."

After saying that, Harrison walked into the forest.

"Okay."

Xia Jian ran over, picked up the little girl, and then followed behind the white-robed wizard.

After taking two steps, Xia Jian turned back and glanced at the big bird. Its hostile gaze suddenly made Xia Jian crave chicken wings.

"A mere apprentice-level beast dares to hate me? I'll roast you when I get the chance!"

…………

The two walked toward the white tower, and Harvey asked Xia Jian many questions along the way.

Xia Jian naturally answered all questions. As long as the other party was interested, the chances of joining the Illusionary Heart Temple would be much greater, and he might even get to know a powerful wizard.

"You said you crossed the Sea of ​​Death?"

Upon hearing Xia Jian's background, Harvey's eyes showed a hint of surprise and confusion: "Why didn't you take a ship from the port?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian's pupils contracted slightly, realizing that he had been tricked.

"I came here following the map." After saying that, Natsumi fell silent.

No wonder he didn't see Sybil; that little girl must have taken a different route!

But thinking about it carefully, Hibern doesn't seem like the kind of person who would run away alone. It's just that I thought about leaving first by myself back then.

After all, in his eyes, Xibeier was just a burden, and that little girl probably never dreamed that she would be here.

"You have no teacher and have taught yourself meditation and magic. It seems you have quite a talent."

Harvey didn't pay attention to Xia Jian's expression, but instead thought about Xia Jian's talent.

Even if Xia Jian started practicing meditation from a young age and reached his current level without any instruction, his talent is undeniable.

However, the situation at the Illusionary Heart Temple has been turbulent recently, and they didn't even attend the last time when various forces were recruiting disciples.

Now that this exceptionally talented person has suddenly appeared, no one knows if there's anything fishy going on.

Besides, how easy is it to cross the Sea of ​​Death?

Even he might not be able to walk out unscathed, let alone a wizard apprentice.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to take anyone in, Xia Jian couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

He didn't come here for a vacation; if he couldn't join the Temple of Illusion, he'd probably have to go somewhere else.

But according to the old woman, other places might not be as good as this one, and might even be more cruel, which is not the result Xia Jian wanted.
