Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 58 Trial Ends

Looking at the dark cloud composed of countless crows overhead, Gu Lin and Yin Guang's expressions were extremely grim.

As the best of the second-level wizard apprentices, they clearly sensed that the crows in the sky were not ordinary crows.

That terrifying dark cloud gave them an extremely oppressive sense of foreboding, as if they were facing some kind of terrifying ancient beast.

The two looked at each other, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

No one expected that Pei Ze actually held a powerful trump card.

He didn't even go all out in his fight against Pei Shaoqi!

The thought of this filled both of them with bitterness.

Pei Shaoqi's defeat was not unjust!

As the dark clouds began to slowly descend, a strong sense of warning surged within Gu Lin, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

She always had great confidence in her intuition, and seeing this, she decisively gave up struggling and shouted, "I surrender! You can have all the points, just like you said!"

Yin Guang's expression shifted for a long time before he finally sighed resignedly and lowered his head in silence.

Since things have come to this point, further resistance is futile and will only result in unnecessary injuries. It's better to simply hand over the points and save the strength to continue hunting barbarians.

Pei Ze snapped his fingers only after the two had transferred all their points.

In an instant, the dense flock of crows transformed into a torrent, jostling each other as they flew into the thick black fog.

When the last mist crow flew in, the black mist changed shape and reformed into its original form as mist feathers.

Gu Lin watched this scene with a hint of envy.

Even for her, it would be difficult to contract such a high-quality raven pet with two types of magical abilities.

After all, such magical pets are extremely rare and hard to come by.

"How did you manage to contract this magical pet?" Gu Lin leaned closer and curiously examined Wu Yu.

"Luck," Pei Ze replied succinctly, glancing at the girl with a strange look.

Having just had all his points stolen, he's now casually chatting with the culprit. Is this personality just carefree or an optimist?

It would be a normal reaction for someone like Yin Guang to turn around and leave with a dark expression.

Seemingly guessing Pei Ze's thoughts, Gu Lin laughed and said, "No need to be so wary. Anyway, the first place in the trial is definitely yours. Since I can't get first place, there's no use for the points. I'll just give them to you."

Pei Ze was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

The rewards for second through tenth place in the trial are contribution points and magic items.

It is said that Gu Lin comes from the Gu family, one of the five great wizard families in Dawn City. Given her background, it is normal for her to look down on those contribution points and magical items.

In fact, whether it was Gu Lin, Pei Shaoqi, or Yin Guang, the reason they all strived for first place was probably just for that one and only spot to enter the Secret Realm of Truth.

As for other rewards, they are just icing on the cake for them, and they don't care whether they have them or not.

Just then, a beast's roar suddenly came from afar, interrupting their conversation.

As if a switch had been flipped, more and more roars of beasts rose and fell, instantly conjuring up images of countless ferocious beasts going berserk.

Gu Lin looked in the direction the sound came from—it was the direction Pei Shaoqi and the others had left in!

She seemed to realize something and looked at Pei Ze with a strange expression.

"So that's why you let Pei Shaoqi leave so easily earlier; you had a backup plan all along!"

Pei Ze calmly said, "You can't just say things like that. Do you have any evidence to prove that it has anything to do with me?"

Gu Lin curled his lip: "I'm not part of the law enforcement team, what evidence do you have to talk about?"

"Forget it, I can't stand Pei Shaoqi anyway, I don't care whether he lives or dies."

Gu Lin waved his hand and turned to leave without any hesitation.

"Bye-bye, see you at the academy."

Watching Gu Lin leave in a flurry, Pei Ze chuckled and shook his head.

This guy is so unconventional, he doesn't seem like a wizard at all.

He glanced again at the dust billowing in the distance, a cold smile appearing on Pei Ze's lips, and walked away in the opposite direction without looking back.

On the deck of a floating behemoth.

The three wizards stared silently at the image in the water mirror.

After a long silence, Ai Yuan finally spoke up.

What do you think?

Yu Sen chuckled and said, "His strength is decent, and he's decisive enough. This year's freshmen have finally produced a good one."

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, saying, "Very excellent, probably the most outstanding wizard apprentice in the last fifty years."

He paused, then pondered, "It's a pity he cultivates the general meditation method. If he had used the advanced meditation method to advance to the wizard level, he might have been able to break through the suppression of the younger generation of bloodline families in recent years."

Yu Sen scoffed and said, "What's so difficult about that? Just give him an advanced meditation technique."

"Without a suitable reason, the bloodline family will definitely try to interfere."

"Then find a wizard to take him as a student. It's only natural for a teacher to teach a student, and those guys will have no excuse to object then."

"That's a good idea."

At this point, both of them fell silent.

Neither Gu Yi nor Yu Sen's cultivation path is suitable for Pei Ze, so it is necessary to find someone else as a teacher.

After a moment's thought, Gu Yi slowly spoke.

"I do have someone in mind."

Ai Yuan said calmly, "Speak."

"Pei Ze is currently tending the flowerbeds in Mo Weng's herb garden, and it's said that he's learning to make potions. If Mo Weng were to take him on as a student, he probably wouldn't refuse."

Ai Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly nodded.

"I'm leaving this to you."

Pei Ze spent the last three days of the trial in peace.

After receiving the points from Pei Shaoqi, Gu Lin, and others, his points soared to over 30,000.

It's almost the sum of the points from second to ninth place.

With so many points in hand, he was already firmly in first place, so he naturally didn't need to work hard to hunt barbarians anymore.

Upon seeing the changes in the rankings, the apprentices who had been aggressively searching for Pei Ze immediately fell silent.

Are you kidding me? The three geniuses of the grade have all failed miserably. If they make a move against Pei Ze, wouldn't that be like handing over points to him?

We should just stick to hunting barbarians.

Pei Ze then became completely relaxed.

Besides meditating and practicing the Azure Breathing Technique, he spends his days going out to collect various rare materials and occasionally teasing the Myriad Flower Fairy, which is quite pleasant.

In contrast, the other wizard apprentices did not have it so easy.

As the trial drew to a close, the fighting on the island intensified.

Sensing the approach of death, the barbarians grew increasingly ferocious, attacking wizard apprentices with all their might, causing many first-level wizard apprentices immense suffering.

In the end, most of the first-level wizard apprentices hid from the barbarians, afraid to show their faces for fear of being besieged by them.

The surviving second-level wizard apprentices also began to band together, struggling to resist the barbarian offensive.

Time flew by, and finally the last day of the trial arrived.

With less than an hour left before the trial ended, thousands of apprentices had already gathered on the beach at the edge of the island.

Apart from those apprentices whose rankings were just around 50th or the bottom 1,000 and who were still trying to accumulate points in hopes of getting rewards or avoiding elimination, the rest of the people had gathered here.

When Pei Ze appeared on the beach, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

At this moment, he was undoubtedly the center of attention.
