After tearing off the copper lock, the ferocious boar-man ripped open the box lid.

Pei Ze waited patiently for a while, and after confirming that there was no danger, he stepped forward and looked down.

The enormous treasure chest contained only a crystal ball the size of a fist and a note.

Pei Ze picked up the note and saw that it contained instructions on how to use the crystal ball.

To his surprise, it was a magical item that contained a detection spell.

When you encounter a fork in the road, simply activate the Detect spell to guide you to the correct path to your destination.

The only drawback is that the crystal ball only stores ten detection spells, which become useless after they are used up.

"It seems these are the props prepared by the Dawn Council for the participants."

Pei Ze's lips curled up slightly.

With this crystal ball, the rest of the journey will be much easier.

As for what to do after using up all the exploration spells, there's definitely more than one of these crystal balls in the maze.

Once you acquire enough crystal balls, you can smoothly reach the center of the maze.

There are essentially two ways to obtain the crystal ball.

The first method is to find a room with a treasure chest, defeat the guardian monster, and then open the treasure chest.

The second method is to find the wizard apprentices who possess the crystal ball and steal it from them.

"As expected, I knew the Dawn Council would try every means to intensify the conflict among the participants."

Pei Ze clicked his tongue and picked up the crystal ball.

Just then, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the exit on the other side of the room.

Three men walked in through the doorway, accompanied by light footsteps.

Upon meeting, both sides were taken aback.

Pei Ze's gaze swept over the gray robes worn by the three men, and through the gaps in the collars, he could clearly see the leather armor underneath.

City Guard? Or Silver Legion?

At the same time, the three men were also eyeing Pei Ze warily.

When their gazes fell on the crystal ball in Pei Ze's hand, the three of them's eyes lit up simultaneously.

"Investigate the crystal ball!"

The three exchanged a glance and tacitly dispersed, surrounding Pei Ze while also blocking the exits on both sides of the room.

"Hand over the crystal ball, and we'll let you go!"

One of the three men, a man who looked to be in his thirties with a rugged face, spoke coldly.

The other two also stared at Pei Ze with threatening expressions.

Judging from their expressions, they were about to take action if Pei Ze refused.

To their surprise, the young man showed no fear or unease at all when surrounded by the three of them; instead, he wore a pleased smile.

Pei Ze was naturally delighted.

The fact that these three people could recognize the crystal ball in his hand means that they had also owned it before.

Therefore, they most likely have a crystal ball on them at this time.

He was just wondering where to find the crystal ball, and now someone has delivered it to his doorstep. How could he not be happy?

Halfway up the mountain.

Night has fallen.

However, almost no one chose to leave.

Many apprentices would pick up stones from the ground and use them as temporary light sources after applying light to them.

The dense array of light sources illuminated the entire mountainside as if it were daytime.

Everyone kept their eyes glued to the light screen, unwilling to look away.

As more and more people are eliminated, the number of images displayed on the sky screen gradually decreases.

By this time, only about fifty images remained.

During this time, Gu Lin, Yin Guang, Meng Kai, and others kept their attention on Pei Ze's actions.

Therefore, they watched the entire process of Pei Ze killing the minotaur and were all surprised.

"That's amazing!"

"That was a minotaur, and they took him down so easily!"

"Pei Ze is as incredibly strong as ever!"

The wizarding apprentices at the Tower Academy were all amazed.

In contrast, the students from Shadow Academy looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

They had always believed that the rumor that Pei Ze had killed a legendary knight was exaggerated and its authenticity was questionable.

But now it seems the rumors are probably true!

Forget about the hype; Pei Ze's strength is even greater than the rumors suggest.

The fact that Pei Ze could so easily take down a minotaur shows that his strength is among the top tier of all the participants.

It's likely that apart from a handful of people like Sang Fan, Meng Wei, and Su Shouhai, no one can defeat him anymore.

Meng Kai understood this as well, and his face had already turned extremely gloomy.

Even if you broke his head, you wouldn't imagine that a first-year student could be this amazing.

"Damn it, who exactly is this kid?"

Meng Kai felt a growing anxiety, no longer as confident as before.

The power Pei Ze was displaying at this moment made him feel threatened.

If he really loses the bet to Gu Lin, five hundred magic stone coins would be enough to cripple him.

Meng Kai could only console himself that with Sang Fan, Meng Wei, and Su Shouhai around, the three competition spots were almost locked in. As long as they didn't have any accidents, Pei Ze wouldn't be able to get a spot.

On the other side, Yin Guang stared blankly at the screen, his mind in turmoil.

Hearing about it is one thing, actually witnessing Pei Ze kill a legendary knight-level magical creature is another.

At that moment, he deeply felt the gap between himself and Pei Ze.

Among the group, Gu Lin was relatively calm.

She had long suspected that Pei Ze would have made rapid progress after not seeing him for a while.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have provoked Meng Kai into making a bet of 500 magic stone coins.

And as it turned out, Pei Ze did not disappoint her.

"We've made a killing this time!"

Gu Lin thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

But just then, a soft whisper came from beside her, startling her from her joy.

Gu Lin subconsciously looked up, only to see Pei Ze confronting three wizard apprentices.

"People from the city guard? Or the Silver Light Legion?"

"They're from the city guards. I recognize the leader; he's Tan Yang."

"Tan Yang? Really? I heard he's the second strongest wizard apprentice among the city guards participating in this trial, second only to Sang Fan!"

"Yes, it's him. I recognize his face."

"Oh no, then Pei Ze is in trouble!"

The sudden turn of events instantly shattered the joyful atmosphere from before.

The faces of everyone at the Tower Academy turned solemn.

On the other hand, several Shadow Academy students, including Meng Kai, were delighted.

Tan Yang is quite well-known among the participants and is regarded as the second tier of elites, second only to Meng Wei and the other two.

Facing such a master was already quite troublesome for Pei Ze, and with the addition of the other two wizard apprentices, he was even less of a match.

After all, those who haven't been eliminated by this point in time are all formidable competitors.

But soon, Meng Kai realized something, and the joy on his face froze.

In this situation, as long as Pei Ze obediently hands over the crystal ball, Tan Yang and the other two will definitely not risk getting injured and wasting their strength to fight Pei Ze, since defeating Pei Ze would not benefit them at all.

Wouldn't this solve Pei Ze's crisis?

Meng Kai was immediately disappointed.

But the next moment, the scene on the screen left him speechless.

Pei Ze suddenly raised his hand and launched a magic missile straight at Tan Yang and the other two.

He actually launched an attack!

Coming to his senses, Meng Kai was overjoyed.

"Haha, this kid actually went looking for death!"

Yin Guang was dumbfounded, completely unexpected that Pei Ze would be so audacious as to choose to start a war without saying a word.

Only Gu Lin had an expression that said, "I knew it."

As the battle broke out, everyone's eyes were drawn to the screen like magnets, afraid of missing a single moment.

Tan Yang and his two companions never expected Pei Ze to attack so suddenly. Caught off guard, they were caught off guard and thrown into a flurry of magical missiles.

However, this is only the beginning.

Before they could recover, Pei Ze had already prepared his next spell.

A clearly visible gray wave emanated from him and instantly spread outwards in all directions, engulfing the entire room.

The art of terror!

Normally, the Fear spell is not very effective against spellcasters with strong mental fortitude; at most, it can only make spellcasters of the same level feel slightly flustered.

However, Pei Ze did not use the ordinary terror spell, but a modified and enhanced version.

As a result, after Tan Yang and the other two were hit, their eyes all showed panic and fear, and it took them half a second to get rid of the effect of the terror spell.

This was enough time for Pei Ze to proceed with his next move.

Just as Tan Yang recovered, he saw Pei Ze appear behind one of his companions like a ghost, and swiftly reach out and press his hand on his head.

In the dim firelight, tiny arcs of electricity could be faintly seen flowing across the surface of Pei Ze's palm.

Electric claw!

Crack!

A large number of electric arcs suddenly exploded from Pei Ze's palm, and the surging current instantly annihilated the mage's armor on the human body.

Then, with another crack, the protective ring on his hand shattered.

Fortunately, after breaking through two layers of protection, the bursting electric arc finally lost its momentum and disappeared.

Before the man could even show a look of joy, a streak of light, as fast as lightning, suddenly struck, piercing the back of his head and exiting through his mouth!

With a crackling sound, the electric current that exploded from the blade shattered the man's head.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Tan Yang never had a chance to rescue his companion, and could only watch helplessly as he died under Pei Ze's sword.

"You bastard! How dare you try to kill me!" Tan Yang said, his eyes blazing with fury.

Pei Ze glanced at him and said indifferently, "Since you dare to make a move, you should be prepared to be killed in return. You don't even understand this simple principle. It's a shame you're a member of the military."

Enraged, Tan Yang charged at Pei Ze with bloodshot eyes.

Another companion suddenly realized what was happening and rushed over from another direction to attack, but was stopped halfway by the ferocious boar-men.

The city guards emphasize practicality, and their fighting style is quite similar to Pei Ze's, combining physical melee combat with magic. They seize opportunities to unleash magic attacks on their enemies during close-quarters combat.

This fighting style places the most emphasis on two points.

The first point is that one must possess strong physical fitness.

The second point is that you must be able to prepare spells while fighting.

The best way to achieve the second point is to master the art of casting spells silently.

However, this kind of super magic technique is extremely difficult.

Among the thousands of third-level wizard apprentices in the city guard, only Sang Fan had mastered the art of silent spellcasting.

The rest, even Tan Yang didn't have mastered.

However, once they actually clashed, Tan Yang was shocked to discover that Pei Ze had actually suppressed him in both of these aspects.

Not only had the opponent mastered the art of casting spells silently, but their physical attributes had also reached the level of a peak Grand Knight, a whole minor realm higher than his own.

In this situation, he was soon overwhelmed and unable to defend himself properly by Pei Ze.

But soon after, he realized something was wrong.

Pei Ze's speed in preparing spells was astonishing, and could not be explained by the speed at which spells could be cast silently.

Furthermore, the power of the spells is also exceptionally strong.

The same spell, when cast by him, was not even half as powerful as Pei Ze's.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this kid?"

Tan Yang finally realized that he had kicked a hornet's nest.

The kid in front of me is not one of those weak and easily bullied academy students, but a strong person on the same level as Sang Fan!

What he couldn't understand was why this person, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, was so powerful.

When did the Tower Academy produce such a genius?

Even Pei Ze... wait, Pei Ze!

Tan Yang's pupils suddenly contracted as he recalled a rumor he had heard some time ago.

Could this person before me be Pei Ze, the one who killed the Drinker and Huo Nan?!

That's right, the Tower Academy couldn't possibly have another young student this talented!

Thinking of this, Tan Yang felt a sudden bitter taste in his mouth.

He never expected that one of the students he met by chance would be the legendary genius apprentice.

Moreover, his strength is far greater than the rumors suggest.

"Damn it!"

With another curse under his breath, Tan Yang released his magical pet, a lizard covered in a thick layer of armor.

At the same time, his companion summoned a toad that was entirely purple and clearly highly poisonous.

Seeing this, Pei Ze smiled wryly, and the black bracelet on his wrist suddenly shattered, turning into a cloud of black mist.

In the next instant, countless fog crows rushed out of the fog, sweeping towards Tan Yang and his companion and their magical pets like a torrent.

Tan Yang was horrified and only had time to cast a shield spell on himself before he was engulfed by the torrent.

His vision was instantly filled with darkness, and countless claws attacked from all directions, striking the shield and mage armor on his body.

In an instant, both the shield and the mage's armor were destroyed.

At the critical moment, Tan Yang activated the Lesser Stone Skin Ring he carried with him. His skin was instantly stained with a bluish-gray color, becoming as indestructible as gold and stone, which saved him from being torn to pieces by the Mist Raven.

Before he could even catch his breath, a scream suddenly rang in his ears.

The sound lasted only a moment before abruptly stopping.

Tan Yang's expression changed, realizing that his companion was probably in grave danger.

Immediately afterwards, the connection with his magical pet was also severed; his lizard magical pet had already died in battle.

But Tan Yang couldn't care less about feeling sorry for himself; a strong sense of fear welled up deep inside him.

He struggled with himself for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to activate the teleportation ring and leave.

While the competition slots are tempting, one's own life is more important than anything else.

He didn't want to lose his life here like his two companions.

Just as Tan Yang was about to activate the teleportation spell on the ring, he suddenly felt the pressure around him ease, and the crows suddenly scattered.

He looked up in surprise and met Pei Ze's indifferent gaze.
