Chapter 14 The Bloodless

Pei Shaoqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled, "It's nothing, just saw someone I know."

"Someone you know?" The companion paused slightly, glanced at Pei Ze's retreating figure, and asked curiously, "Someone from your Pei family?"

Pei Shaoqi said in a cryptic tone, "It used to be, but it's not anymore."

The companions looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

Pei Shaoqi said calmly, "His name is Pei Ze, and he is a bloodless person."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and their gazes toward Pei Ze became tinged with disdain.

Those without blood are a disgrace to their bloodline families. Such people are often marginalized within the family, and it is not surprising if they are abandoned.

"Pei Ze, that name sounds familiar," a student suddenly said.

Suddenly, he patted his forehead and turned to look at his companion beside him.

"I remember now, Qi Shan, Pei Ze is in your Class 3, right? I remember he seems to have a very solid theoretical knowledge, and many teachers have praised him."

The student named Qi Shan curled his lip and said, "He's just a little better at studying, his talent is nothing to brag about. Although we're in the same class, we're not close at all!"

As he said this, Qi Shan glanced at Pei Shaoqi almost imperceptibly.

He didn't want Pei Shaoqi to misunderstand that he and Pei Ze were very familiar.

Pei Shaoqi smiled faintly, looked away, and continued walking forward.

"Let's go, there's no need to bother with those insect-like creatures."

The crowd chuckled and quickly followed.

Pei Ze was unaware that people were talking about him behind his back. After obtaining the spell models of Fatigue Touch and Acid Splash, he devoted himself to improving his strength as always.

It's now mid-October.

With the accelerated analysis of the All-Knowing Eye, Pei Ze successfully completed the improvements to the Plant Aura and the Mage's Hand.

During this time, Pei Ze consulted books and found a plant seed that could be used in conjunction with plant aura—strangler vine!

The plant's ferocity is evident from its name.

The strangler vine typically disguises itself as an ordinary vine, lurking in the grass or climbing on trees. It waits for its prey to pass by before suddenly attacking, using its tough vines to tightly bind and strangle it to death. Then, it absorbs the blood and flesh essence of its prey through the sharp thorns on its vines, completing the process from hunting to feeding.

The advantage of using strangler vine is that Pei Ze only needs to catalyze its growth in the appropriate location and slightly control its growth direction to make it entangle the target, and the rest can be left to the strangler vine to do itself.

With its thirst for flesh and blood, the strangling vine will never easily let go once it has wrapped around its target.

In short, when combined with strangler vine, Plant Aura instantly becomes a very practical combat spell.

If used well at crucial moments, it can determine the outcome of a battle.

On the other hand, the improved Mage's Hand effect is equally surprising.

The mage's hand originally extended to about ten meters at most, and even when the palm swelled to its maximum size, its width did not exceed half a meter.

The improved mage's hand has its maximum length increased to about twenty meters, which is twice as long as before.

Its palm size has expanded to the point that it can almost completely grasp an adult human male.

Being slapped hard by such a huge hand would definitely not feel good!

If the original Mage's Hand was only equivalent to half an attack spell, then the improved Mage's Hand can be used as a full-fledged attack spell.

"With Mage's Hand and Acid Splash, I now have two offensive spells!"

Pei Ze smiled with delight.

During this time, in addition to improving spells, he also successfully mastered two new spells: Touch of Fatigue and Acid Splash.

In fact, with his current mental strength, he can analyze a zero-ring spell in just one or two days with one acceleration.

The speed was so fast that it would leave ordinary wizard apprentices speechless!

If it weren't for the need to improve spells and financial constraints, he would have already analyzed and mastered all the zero-ring spells.

"Omniscient, detect my current state."

【Spirit 16.05】

[Body Condition 5.64]

[Task 1: Improve the acid splash spell model, estimated time 38 days 2 hours 33 minutes]

[Task 2: Improve the model of the Fatigue Touch spell, estimated time 34 days 4 hours 56 minutes]

【任务3:解析7号意志符文,预计还需13天3小时23分钟】

Looking at the data displayed by the All-Knowing Eye, Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction.

There is still a month and a half until the first-year trial.

At this rate, he should have no problem advancing to the second-level wizard apprentice level before the trial begins.

With the addition of four or five improved spells, he was confident he could handle whatever the trial might be like.

"If we accelerate at full speed, the two spell improvements will take about 10 days in total, and the stun spell also needs to be improved. There's no need to buy new spell models for now."

Pei Ze began to think about his plans for the coming period.

In recent times, Guan Ling and others have sought his guidance less and less, and their income from this source has declined significantly.

He's now surviving entirely on the income from tending the medicinal herb garden, and he only has a little over 50 contribution points left.

It looks like a lot, but if you really use it to buy cultivation resources, it can be used up in no time.

Generally speaking, there are countless reasons why wizard apprentices need to spend money.

For example, purchasing spell models, renting spell labs, buying spirit-nourishing herbs, or paying a teacher for private instruction.

It was thanks to Pei Ze's all-seeing eye that expenses were saved in many places, allowing for such rapid progress.

If it were any other wizard apprentice from a similar background, they would spend most of their time earning contribution points, and it would be considered good if they could master one zero-ring spell in a month.

Even so, Pei Ze still couldn't afford many of the resources.

For example, the Spirit Spring Potion, which can increase the mental strength of a first-level wizard apprentice by 1 mark after consumption, costs as much as 200 contribution points per bottle!

He needs to work for the herb garden for 28 days to afford it, and he cannot spend even a single contribution point during that time.

Therefore, for wizard apprentices, no amount of contribution points is ever enough.

Pei Ze started thinking about whether he should find another task to do.

Early the next morning.

Pei Ze finished breakfast at home and went out to the academy.

The streets were still bustling with people and extremely noisy.

The shouts and calls of vendors filled the air.

Pei Ze carefully avoided the black puddles on the ground when he suddenly heard someone hawking newspapers.

"The newly published Morning Newspaper costs two copper coins!"

"One, please."

Pei Ze waved to the newspaper boy not far away, and the boy immediately ran over, pulled a newspaper out of his bag, and respectfully handed it to him.

"Sir, here is your newspaper. It will cost you one copper coin."

The newspaper boy glanced at the wizard apprentice badge on Pei Ze's chest, his eyes filled with a mixture of awe and envy.

"Give."

Pei Ze took out a copper coin, handed it to the newsboy, and then took the newspaper.

"Thank you, sir." The newspaper boy happily ran off.

Splash!

Pei Ze opened the newspaper, and a line of bold, large-print text on the front page immediately caught his eye.

A dimensional rift has appeared; is Dawn City about to welcome a new private dimension?
