Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

three days later.

A large ship made of black wood floats in the sky.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing at the bow of the ship. These people included men, women, the elderly, and the young. Xia Jian and Mu Shuang were standing among them.

Xia Jian's gaze swept over the crowd. Apart from the white-bearded old man and the little kid, Xia Jian didn't recognize any of the others.

However, judging from his intuition, nine out of the 17 people gave him a feeling of being unpredictable, and their strength was clearly superior to his.

Compared to Xia Jian's unbridled observation, the others were much more obedient.

Mu Shuang was like a raging flood; everyone except the white-bearded old man and another old woman lowered their heads under her gaze.

The timid ones even stood behind others, their faces seemingly filled with a fearful expression that said, "Don't look at me."

Xia Jian tried giving one of them the middle finger, and the other person just glared at him, really just glared at him, and then turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

This discovery immediately piqued Xia Jian's interest.

Before Xia Jian could make any other move, the others, after seeing Xia Jian's behavior just now, all turned their heads away, not wanting to pay any attention to this unscrupulous guy.

At this moment, the white-bearded old man looked over, and Xia Jian couldn't help but chuckle and turn his head away.

I just wanted to ease the tension; I didn't mean anything else.

It now seems that Mu Shuang's intimidating power is stronger than expected, even exceeding Xia Jian's comprehension.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Just then, a voice came from the side.

Two men flew up from the bow of the boat, one of whom was Bro, who had kicked over the trash can.

The other person appeared to be around forty years old, with a black mole on his neck and a rather plump belly that gave him a prosperous appearance.

"Knowing it's late, you still only arrived now. Have you become too powerful lately and no longer take us seriously?"

Mu Shuang glanced coldly at the man and spoke rudely in the Yin-Yang Dao.

"Not at all, not at all. I just happened to run into this young man and thought I'd show him around."

Ignoring Bro's struggles, the middle-aged man pushed Bro in front of him.

While seemingly taking care of the younger generation, her shifty eyes were similar to those of the others, clearly indicating that she did not want to confront Mu Shuang directly.

"Now that we're here, let's get going."

At this point, the white-haired old man couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to smooth things over.

Mu Shuang snorted coldly, then walked towards the cabin alone, while the others dispersed.

…………

As the large ship set sail, a fluorescent blue shield protected its hull, and then the ship sped off into the distance at an extremely high speed.

Xia Jian looked down curiously. The surrounding mountains and rivers rushed by, and the large ship was flying much faster than he was using the Shadow Ball.

"Brother, you look rosy-cheeked. Looks like you've been doing well lately."

At this moment, Bro stepped forward, patted Natsumi on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"It's alright, but I've been busy with schoolwork lately, so I haven't had much time to go out."

Xia Jian shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

According to Mu Shuang, as long as you're alive, you have to work hard, otherwise you'll be wasting this precious time.

Although Natsume scoffed at this, after all, shouldn't such precious time be used for enjoyment?

However, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. At least with Mu Yan by your side, it's not too boring.

Then Natsume and Bro chatted for a while and learned about the identities of the people on the ship.

The white-haired old man was named Horammons Drizzt, and was said to be a wizard of the fourth rank or higher.

In the last decade or so, an academy called Damons has been established in Neilbella to recruit wandering wizards from the surrounding area, showing a clear trend of developing a new power.

The old woman is the vice dean of Damons Academy, named Rita Hel, and her strength is estimated to be not much weaker than Helamons'.

The last to board the ship was Bro's uncle, Frank, a fourth-tier wizard who had recently been promoted.

As Xia Jian listened to Bro's endless narration, a bad thought arose in his mind.

Even Bro's uncle is afraid of Mu Shuang, does that mean Mu Shuang is stronger than Frank? Does that mean Mu Shuang is at least a fourth-tier archmage?

This is not good news for Natsumi.

The main problem is that we don't know what Mu Shuang's purpose is.

Simply taking on apprentices is not a problem, as it is not common among wizards.

Because being a teacher not only allows you to experience what it's like to be an elder, but also because life is incomplete without an audience; someone has to witness your glorious moments.

However, Mu Shuang was infamous in Neil Bella, and Xia Jian simply couldn't associate Mu Shuang with the word "proper teacher".

After all, she was already so arrogant that she didn't even take fourth-tier wizards seriously. This fearsome reputation alone was enough for Mu Shuang to make a name for herself.

Besides, Mu Shuang has been urging him to study things related to biology lately. Even if it's about passing on his mantle, he needs to find a student with similar attributes.

Mu Shuang only gave me a book on dark meditation and a book on spells. Just from this, it's clear that Mu Shuang isn't a dark wizard. All the signs indicate that something is very wrong with Mu Shuang.

Rather than expecting Mu Shuang to want to be a teacher, Xia Jian felt that he was more like a consumable, a top-tier consumable with pure dark talent!

…………

Xia Jian bid farewell to Bro in a daze and returned to his room, his mind filled with questions about Mu Shuang being a fourth-tier wizard.

Facing a fourth-tier wizard, with his current strength, leaving is simply a pipe dream and an unrealistic exercise in the impossible.

If things continue like this, there won't be any problem. With the '+1' talent, Xia Jian believes he will be able to surpass Mu Shuang sooner or later.

The problem is that Xia Jian is unsure of how Mu Shuang views him.

If I really am Mu Shuang's experimental subject, I'm afraid I won't be able to accumulate enough strength before Mu Shuang kills me.

Just as Xia Jian was pondering a problem, the door was opened from the outside.

"Ha, I've been looking for you."

Mu Shuang poked her little head out and said with a grin.

Seeing this, Xia Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, marveling at how unpredictable this guy was. Even if they had just argued the day before, he could act like nothing had happened the next day.

If it weren't for all the signs indicating that Mu Shuang had ill intentions, perhaps having such a teacher would be a good choice.

"Teacher, is there something you need from me?"

Xia Jian changed his demeanor, welcoming Mu Shuang into the house with a fawning smile.

"You were complaining about not having any powerful spells, right? I just snatched one up for you... how about it?"

Mu Shuang handed a black-covered book to Xia Jian, and then winked at him.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian's lips twitched slightly.

I wonder who was so unlucky to be targeted by Mu Shuang, that female demon.

But despite the complaints, you can't refuse something that's free.

Well, it shouldn't be considered a freebie, since Mu Shuang paid for it with her infamous reputation. I just hope Mu Shuang didn't hurt that unlucky guy.
