Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 170 Returning to Dawn City, the Most Outstanding Student

March 28, 14525 in the Astral Calendar.

Lady Winterfrost has fallen.

The ice giant Yannick and the ice guardian Veronica both died in battle.

On the same day, Winterfrost fell.

The Frostbite Pope was killed in battle.

The emperor of the theocracy was captured.

Thus, the Kingdom of Winterfrost was destroyed.

One-third of the Turin plane fell into the hands of Dawn City and Crimson Lotus City.

Inside Red Maple City.

Since the lockdown was lifted, large numbers of free wizards have left the dimensional battlefield.

The once bustling war city has now become much more deserted and desolate.

Apart from the Silver Legion, fewer than a thousand free wizards and knights remained in the city.

The stone house, inside the meditation room.

Pei Ze, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and crushed the purified soul crystal in his palm, which had exhausted its energy and turned into gray-white stone, into powder.

Nearly three months have passed since Lady Winterfrost's demise.

During this period, besides cultivating, he devoted himself to refining resonance potions.

Although the war has ended, with the wizards of the Silver Legion around, the Resonance Potion has no shortage of customers, and people come to buy the potion every day.

Pei Ze entrusted Su Ya and Peng Yan with the entire responsibility of selling medicines and receiving customers.

He exchanged all the merit points he earned from selling potions for faith crystals and soul purification crystals.

He now possesses fifty-five faith crystals and two purified soul crystals.

As for the magic stone coins, Pei Ze used them to purchase rare metals.

Silver Star has now been upgraded to +23, bringing it one step closer to the limit of thirty standard metal combinations.

"My mental strength is also close to reaching the standard for condensation."

With a thought, Pei Ze summoned the detection data from the All-Knowing Eye.

【Spirit 186.56】

[Body Condition 145.59]

"The daily increase in meditation power has now dropped to 0.34. At this rate, it will take another sixteen days to reach the limit of vaporization."

Pei Ze pondered to himself.

He used seventeen Faith Crystals to break through to the first level of crystallization, and he estimated that the number of Faith Crystals needed to break through to the second level of liquefaction would be at least double.

But in any case, fifty-five crystals of faith should be enough.

All the resources for advancing to level two liquefaction have been gathered; all that's left is for my mental strength to reach the required level so I can break through immediately.

As for the two purified soul crystals, they were mainly prepared for liquefaction.

However, two purified soul crystals were clearly not enough to support his cultivation to the liquefaction limit; he would need at least four.

"Unfortunately, the war is over now, and the wizards of the Silver Light Legion have fewer and fewer merit points. Recently, they have been using magic stone coins to buy resonance potions."

"If I stay here any longer, I probably won't earn many more merit points."

Pei Ze shook his head slightly.

He had been planning to gather enough cultivation resources to liquefy into crystallize before leaving, but now it seems unlikely that he can do so.

His goal is merit points; if he wants to earn magic stone coins, it would be better to go back to Dawn City.

The number of wizards in Dawn City who need the Resonance Potion far exceeds that of the Silver Legion in Red Maple City.

After a moment's thought, Pei Ze quickly made a decision.

He got up and left the cultivation room, then went outside the stone house.

Su Ya and Peng Yan were cultivating in the open space outside the stone house when they saw Pei Ze come out. They immediately stopped and bowed.

"grown ups."

"Pack your things, we'll return to Dawn City tomorrow."

Su Ya and Peng Yan were stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, they immediately showed joy and nodded in agreement.

They've been on the surface battlefield for over a year now, and they're starting to miss home.

Pei Ze smiled slightly. After the two returned to the stone house, he thought for a moment and then headed towards Yin Xue's residence.

Before leaving, I should say goodbye to Yin Xue.

Fortunately, when Pei Ze arrived at Yin Xue's residence, the girl was inside and had not gone out on a mission.

Upon seeing Pei Ze arrive, Yin Xue's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, showing great joy.

"Junior, what brings you here?"

Pei Ze smiled and said, "I'm planning to go back to Dawn City. I thought I'd tell you before I leave, senior."

"Are you leaving?"

Yin Xue was taken aback, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Although the Frost Kingdom has been conquered, it will take a long time to completely suppress the natives, so she will stay here to garrison and rotate the troops.

With Pei Ze gone, it's unclear when we'll meet again.

However, Yin Xue was no ordinary woman, and she quickly adjusted her mindset.

"That's good. The war is over, and the Silver Legion will gradually withdraw from Red Maple City. This place will soon be abandoned, so there's no point in staying here any longer."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Pei Ze smiled and said, "Continue your cultivation and strive to become an elemental wizard as soon as possible."

Having experienced the previous war, Pei Ze realized more and more that in Dawn City, the Crystal Wizard might be a high-ranking figure.

However, in the vast multiverse, wizards of this level are nothing special.

Just like the interdimensional war between the two great wizard cities and the Turin civilization, in this large-scale war involving hundreds of millions of people, the crystal wizards are just elite soldiers who are a little higher than cannon fodder and ordinary soldiers, and are still in the category of soldiers that can be consumed.

Only elemental wizards and bloodline wizards who possess wizard towers can be considered true core members of the main force.

Only these strong individuals can truly dictate the course of a war.

He will definitely have to go through more than one interdimensional war in the future. In order not to become a expendable resource on the battlefield, he should advance to the Elemental Wizard level as soon as possible.

If someone else had said such a thing, no matter how talented they were, Yin Xue would have felt that the other person was a little too confident.

Becoming a level four wizard is no easy feat.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless individuals with exceptional talent have emerged in Dawn City, but only one in a thousand has ultimately been able to advance to the fourth level of wizardry.

Even among bloodline wizards whose strength increases rapidly, very few ultimately achieve the status of a bloodline wizard.

The total number of elemental wizards and bloodline wizards in the entire Dawn City barely exceeds one hundred.

And this is the result of many years of accumulation in Dawn City - after a wizard breaks through to the fourth level, his life will be further sublimated and his lifespan will increase dramatically. Without using other means to prolong his life, he can live for at least four or five thousand years.

However, when Pei Ze said those words, Yin Xue genuinely felt that it was perfectly reasonable.

In fact, the fact that Pei Ze will definitely advance to the level of an elemental wizard in the future is already a widely acknowledged fact among countless wizards in Dawn City.

After all, a level two wizard can live for at least five or six hundred years.

Pei Ze is only eighteen years old now, and he still has more than five hundred years to go. Even if he has to grind it out, he can still advance to the level of an elemental wizard.

"Then I wish you success in achieving your goal soon." Yin Xue smiled.

"Thank you for your kind words." Pei Ze smiled, then changed the subject, asking, "Senior, how did the purge of the Pei family go?"

Mentioning this matter, Yin Xue's smile faded, and she sighed slightly, saying, "The result wasn't very satisfactory. You should also know that the Pei family has already mastered the method of fusing with evil beings."

Seeing Pei Ze nod, she continued, "Afterwards, we interrogated the Pei family members. Just half a month before they were about to take action, the Pei family made a breakthrough in their research on evil creatures. They were able to use the bloodline of the Yugro Giant Serpent to suppress evil creatures, thereby fusing with them and using their power in a short period of time."

"Because of this, the cleanup operation encountered many setbacks."

"Although all the bloodline wizards of the Pei family were eventually purged, some of them managed to escape into the Shadow Realm. The council has now issued a warrant for their arrest. Wizards who kill members of the Pei family, regardless of whether they belong to Dawn City, will receive merit points as a reward."

Pei Ze raised an eyebrow, not expecting that there would still be survivors from the Pei family who had escaped to the Shadow Realm. These guys are really as slippery as snakes; they didn't even get wiped out.

However, upon further reflection, given the perilous nature of the Shadow Realm, the Pei family, whose bloodline wizards had all perished, would surely suffer greatly there.

"In any case, the Pei family won't be able to cause any more trouble in the future," Yin Xue said with a smile, then gave Pei Ze a meaningful look at the end. "If you feel that's not enough, you can also go to the Shadow Realm to hunt down the remaining people and earn some merit points along the way."

Yin Xue knew about the feud between Pei Ze and the Pei family.

When Pei Yonggao and his son seized Pei Ze's parents' inheritance, the Pei family, because of Pei Ze's bloodless status, not only did not stop them, but also expelled Pei Ze from the family.

Such deep-seated hatred would not have been satisfied unless the Pei family was completely wiped out.

"We'll see," Pei Ze said with a smile.

The loss of his inheritance happened before he transmigrated to this world, so to be honest, he didn't feel much about it.

The reason for killing Pei Yonggao and his son was not only because they were foolish enough to come up to him, but also to settle the karmic debt.

As for the extermination of the Pei family, he wasn't particularly fixated on it.

Of course, he wouldn't mind doing it if it was convenient.

However, with the Shadow Realm mentioned, Pei Ze suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Senior, do you know about the Thunder Abyss Giants?"

"I've heard about it, what's wrong?"

"I've recently been researching methods to increase the affinity of lightning-type energy particles, and one of the materials is the blood of the Thunder Abyss Giant. I'm thinking about where to capture this creature. Do you have any ideas?"

Yin Xue pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "I only know that there might be Thunder Abyss Giants in the Shadow Realm or the Astral Realm, but as for more specific places, I don't know."

She paused for a moment, then added, "But I can ask other people for you."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior." Pei Ze said with a smile, not being polite.

The Yin family must have many wizards who travel to various planes year-round. These people are knowledgeable and experienced, and you might be able to get the information you need from them.

Yin Xue gave him a reproachful look and laughed, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Early the next morning.

Pei Ze led Su Ya and the other person away from Red Maple City.

When the outline of Dawn City came into view, Pei Ze felt a strange sense of melancholy.

Even though he had only been gone for a little over a year, he felt like he hadn't been back for a very long time.

"I have to get used to this kind of thing," Pei Ze thought to himself.

As their strength increases, they will undoubtedly travel to other planes more and more often, and similar situations will likely be quite common.

Upon entering Dawn City, Pei Ze turned to Su Ya and Peng Yan and said, "I'm giving you a month's leave. Take good care of yourselves during this time, spend time with your families, and come back to the mansion in the Ring of Truth to report for duty after the leave ends."

"Yes, sir!"

Su Ya and Peng Yan responded in unison, a hint of joy appearing on their faces.

After the two left, Pei Ze headed straight for the Tower Academy.

Walking along the college road, looking at the familiar scenery around him, Pei Ze felt a slight sense of emotion.

If he were still at Tower Academy, he would be a third-year student by now.

After entering the academy, Pei Ze's clothes had been transformed into the white robes worn by wizards.

As soon as the trainees saw him, they instinctively stepped aside and bowed in respect.

Only after Pei Ze walked away and disappeared from sight did the students straighten up, looking at each other in confusion.

"That gentleman just now looked unfamiliar."

"Indeed, and quite young at that, not much older than me. Does our academy have any wizards who look that young?"

"I felt like I'd seen that gentleman somewhere before... Wait, I remember now, that was Lord Pei Ze!"

The female student who was speaking was so excited that she almost jumped up and down on the spot.

The others were also taken aback by these words.

"Lord Pei Ze? The one who graduated from our school?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Why is he at the academy?"

"Have you forgotten? Our academy's Master Mo Weng is Master Pei Ze's teacher; he must be here to see Master Mo Weng!"

The crowd immediately began to discuss excitedly.

After all, opportunities to see such a famous and influential person in person are rare.

Upon entering the No. 8 herb garden, Pei Ze headed straight for the medicine hut where Mo Weng often worked.

Mo Weng had clearly sensed Pei Ze's arrival through the magic array. When the latter arrived at the hut, Mo Weng was already sitting in a chair, waiting for him with a smile on his face.

"I'm back, teacher." Pei Ze bowed, pressing his hand to his chest.

"We don't need so much formality between us." Mo Weng waved his hand, gesturing for Pei Ze to sit down. "How was your trip to the interdimensional battlefield?"

"We've gained a lot," Pei Ze said earnestly.

That's true. During his trip to the Turin plane, he not only successfully advanced to the second level wizard, but is also about to break through to the second level liquefaction stage.

More importantly, they also mastered the trump cards and methods such as alchemical engraving, bloodline imprints, and the technology of extracting blood from magical creatures. Even the Silver Star evolved into a third-tier magical artifact. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a great harvest.

Mo Weng smiled and nodded slightly.

Pei Ze's performance on the interdimensional battlefield was very clear to him, and he was very satisfied with it.

In particular, by killing Pei Zhanqing and obtaining evidence of the Pei family's research and cultivation of evil creatures, the elemental faction had the opportunity to overthrow the Pei family.

Today, of the three major bloodline wizard families in Dawn City, the Meng family has declined, the Pei family has fled, and only the Yan family remains, which is unable to stand alone and is no longer able to compete with the elemental faction.

The elemental faction has now gained a significant advantage and completely controls the narrative in Dawn City.

Pei Ze deserves a great deal of credit for this.

Many high-ranking members of the Elemental Faction expressed their appreciation for Pei Ze, which pleased Mo Weng greatly.

When he first took Pei Ze as his student, he was more interested in Pei Ze's talent in pharmacology, but he never expected that this student would bring him such a big surprise.

Mo Weng had a premonition that Pei Ze, although his youngest student, was very likely the most outstanding student he had ever taken in.
