Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

Um?

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows, how could this guy know it so quickly? The reported raven should still be on the way, right?

Joshua said: "Stop pretending, you killed that giant wild boar, right!"

Uh. It turns out there is something wrong here. It's really a secret. If I had known earlier, I should have sunk that thing into the lake. I'd better pay attention next time.

After silently reminding himself, Luo Xi nodded and admitted generously: "Well, I was promoted not long ago."

Not long ago, he had declared to the Elemental Castle that he had been promoted to a senior apprentice in a letter regularly reporting his strength. There was nothing to hide from Joshua here.

The main reason is that it is difficult to cover up the big commotion in Beifeng City before. In order to avoid the castle's suspicion, it is better to explain some of it in advance.

It had only been three and a half years and less than four years since he entered the wizarding world. He was promoted to a senior apprentice in such a short period of time, considering his third-level talent. It was actually a bit too fast, but it was still within a reasonable range.

Nicole snorted and added: "What do you think you are so great about? The world is so big and there are many more powerful than you, you self-righteous guy!"

"Ah!"

Joshua laughed frivolously. It was hard to tell whether it was contempt or appreciation, or both.

He nodded and said to Luo Xi: "Yes, he is indeed the only apprentice who could achieve the same results as me three years ago. He is indeed a little better than other idiots, but he is still just a little bit better."

After a pause, he took out a potion bottle and threw it at Luo Xi. Luo Xi couldn't help but be startled when he took it.

This is clearly meditation water prepared by the castle. It has a very strong effect on promoting meditation. It is worth up to 100 magic stones per bottle. It is only awarded to the apprentices with the best grades. Luo Xi has not received it a few times in the three years in the castle.

Joshua continued: "To repay the favor from last time, and to tell you the truth, the seven runes are just a random number I filled in when I reported to the Elemental Castle. The runes I have condensed now are not seven. Instead of eight pieces, the ninth piece will be condensed in two months at the latest!"

He pulled his cool cock and smiled evilly: "If you are complacent because of your small achievements, then you are really wrong."

"Work hard. You can see the back of the genius. You have surpassed most people. I hope you can continue to persevere and don't disappear so early. The road to invincibility is very lonely. You are alone so early. It’s not fun to be alone.”

After sighing with emotion, he turned around and walked away without waiting for Luo Xi's reply.

Luo Xi simply didn't know what to say.

Is there something wrong with this guy's brain or something? He must be 17 or 8 years old. Even the spirited boys and will-o'-the-wisp boys at this age on earth should go into the factory to drive screws. Why does this guy still look like a second grader in junior high school?

It is really…

There's something wrong with your brain!

Elemental castle, inner castle.

Today is the day when the new apprenticeship ranking list is released. Early in the morning, apprentices have checked the rankings through apprentices' blackboard newspapers, subscribed Magic Times and other channels.

As soon as this ranking came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the apprentices.

"Advanced apprentice! Someone has been promoted to advanced apprentice!"

"Oh my god, how could it be this kid Luo Xi? Shouldn't the first among us to advance be Jeffrey or Sophia? Even if it's Lu Ze, I can figure it out. This is too outrageous."

"I'll go. He usually queues behind me. He feels like I can do it even if I go up."

Although Luo Xi's ranking during the same period was high, it was not top-notch. He always hovered between 3 and 5, and occasionally even fell out of 5. Although he was still excellent, there was still a big gap between him and the top level. .

Taking the list of the last issue as an example, Jeffrey, who is ranked first, has condensed six runes with a mental power of 6.8, which is only one step away from the seventh. On the contrary, the cultivation reported by Luo Xi Only 5 runes have been condensed in the progress, and the mental power is 5.3, ranking seventh.

Now he suddenly surpassed the previous six and even directly surpassed Jeffrey, who had been ranked first in the past years, and advanced to advanced apprenticeship. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel weird.

"This kid must have had some adventure, or he just succeeded in condensing the runes at once!"

"Hehe, maybe this guy has always been very lucky. He met a dark wizard on his first mission and was lucky enough to kill him."

"The same goes for the magic mirror last time. An apprentice actually got involved with the magic mirror. Wow."

Standing in front of the castle newspaper, Jeffrey looked at the eye-catching name at the top of the list and frowned involuntarily.

Since he entered the castle, his cultivation progress has always been ranked first in the same period. It is really unaccustomed to be surpassed by others all of a sudden.

But after thinking about it for a while, Jeffrey quickly felt relieved, and his brows gradually relaxed.

He was not very lucky. He failed to condense the seventh rune several times this time, which prompted him to fail to advance. Once he crosses this threshold, his cultivation progress will soon return to the original level. his position.

His target has never been the ordinary apprentices around him. His targets have always been purebloods like him, and the fourth-level genius Joshua.

‘That guy should have almost condensed 8 runes! ’

This is the goal he should really pursue!

Jeffrey clenched his fists, turned around and left the newspaper.

On the other side, Witch Catherine's office.

In the office, Witch Catherine is sitting at her desk sorting out today's lesson plans and manuscripts, while her black cat clone is lying in the flower basket on the terrace lazily basking in the afternoon sun.

Suddenly, the black cat seemed to sense something. With half-squinted eyes, it suddenly raised its head, then left the flower basket and swooped into the room inside.

"Um?"

Witch Catherine put down the quill in her hand, then left her desk and walked into the back room.

There was a large cabinet at the end of the room. The black cat stopped at the cabinet. Witch Catherine walked over and opened the cabinet. There was an oval-shaped cosmetic mirror inside.

At this moment, a rune lit up in the center of the mirror. Witch Catherine took out her wand and tapped the rune gently. She saw layers of ripples rippling in the mirror. Soon after, an old man appeared. In the mirror.

The old man was wearing a gray-white cloak. On the chest of the cloak was a pattern of a wand suspended above a six-pointed star——

The coat of arms of the staff bearer.

This is a magic emblem well known throughout the South Coast Witchland, because the meaning behind this emblem is that of one of the rulers of this Witchland, the man in gray robes with a staff.

Catherine saluted and said, "Uncle Yellen."

The old man in gray robe nodded easily, and then asked straight to the point: "Catherine, a good apprentice has recently appeared in the Castle of Elements. In three and a half years, he meditated 7 runes and was promoted to a senior apprentice. Do you know?"
