"Alas!"

A sigh of disappointment came, and a delicate-looking girl with a blank expression on her face.

Failed again!

This is the thirty-hundred-and-sixtieth time it has failed, and no matter how resolute Merlin's mind is, she is surrounded by frustration and despair at this time.

Are you really a waste material?

Merlin clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, and a trace of blood soaked through, but she didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

Merlin, thirteen years old, was brought into the academy three years ago by a mentor from the Aqua Cloud Academy, and at that time her magical qualifications were fifth-class, and she was second to none among apprentices.

In three years, many young men and women who entered the academy at the same time as her have become formal apprentices, and a few of them with outstanding qualifications have even become second-level apprentices, but she still has not become a formal apprentice.

The progress is so slow, it's not that Mei Lin doesn't work the contrary, her efforts are absolutely unique, others practice meditation once, she practices once, in order to make her physical fitness able to withstand the hard meditation cultivation, she also used the price of two magic stones to ask the guard knight of the academy for swordsmanship and the knight's method of exercising physical strength...... But all the efforts were tried, but the gains were pitifully small, and she was still left far behind by others, and Merlene's heart was often filled with frustration.

There are three levels of formal wizard apprenticeship, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.

In order to become a full-fledged wizard apprentice, you need to have strong enough qualifications.

The qualifications of wizards are divided into five levels, the fifth level is the highest, and after having the right meditation method, they may be able to become official apprentices in a few days, although it is impossible to become an official wizard overnight, but under the same conditions, their cultivation speed is the fastest.

The first-level qualification is the worst, and it is good to be able to become a formal apprentice, and if you want to advance, unless it is the gods who open their eyes.

Although it is very difficult to become a wizard, it is also a matter of going from shallow to deep, usually it is possible to become a formal apprentice after practicing meditation for a few days with a fifth-level qualification; at the fourth-level qualification, it takes about half a month to twenty days to reach a first-level apprentice; it takes one month for a third-level qualification, half a year for a second-level qualification, and one to several years for a first-level qualification......

The division of the apprenticeship level is based on the progress of meditation.

Meditation is a meditation method for wizards, and it is also divided according to the level of the wizard. Wizard apprentices can only use the primary meditation method, which is currently the most complete meditation method. Of course, there are also high and low levels of meditation at the same level, which can be divided into six levels according to their quality: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Dream.

Being able to carve eight will runes in the sea of consciousness has reached the standard of a first-level apprentice, and carving two and four will runes is a sign of entering a second-level apprentice, and as for the third-level apprentice, it seems that other conditions are needed.

Will runes can be understood as a relatively cumbersome cube pattern, and if they are not stable, they will gradually dissipate and hit people back to their original shape. If the Will Rune in the Sea of Consciousness is destroyed during the battle, it will shake the foundation of the wizard and eventually fall into the rank...... Or even total waste.

When she first entered the academy, the rookie apprentices sensed the summons of the breathing method on their own, and when Merlin chose a crystal ball that was clearly in response to her exploration, all the teachers had a look of surprise on their faces...... At that time, she thought it was envy and encouragement, but now she knows what it really means.

Merlin has a thorough understanding of the Will Rune, but it is very difficult to construct the Rune, and it takes a long time to stabilize it...... For three years, she had only carved a total of seven runes of will.

It seems that there is only one step away from carving the eighth will rune, but you must know that every time you carve a will rune, you must be careful not to shake the rune drawn in front of you...... When Merlin carved the seventh rune of will, it took nearly a year, so how long would it take to carve the eighth rune?

The worst thing is that according to the rules of the academy, if you enter the academy for four years and have not yet advanced to the first level of apprenticeship, you will become someone else's slave, and life and death will no longer depend on yourself, but now...... It was only four months since Mei Lin entered the fourth year of the Water Cloud Academy. There have been many apprentices who covet her appearance, directly or indirectly, making all kinds of unbearable gestures to her.

If it were possible, Merlin would rather choose a casual meditation method than choose the current one...... But Kai Gong didn't look back, it was too late to say anything, and she didn't have that chance now.

After a sigh, the depression in Mei Lin's heart seemed to dissipate a little, and she sat down cross-legged again, and after casting her inner vision, she began to carve the eighth rune in the sea of consciousness.

The method of inner vision is not witchcraft, but a skill for the use of spiritual power, which can be used to carve the will rune in the sea of consciousness and check the condition of the body.

I saw that in the sea of consciousness that presented a void, there were seven golden runes that shone with golden light...... At this time, because there was no teacher to teach her, Mei Lin didn't know that she was cultivating a gold-level meditation method. In fact, with the strength of the Water Cloud Academy, there shouldn't be such a high-level meditation method, but in fact, it just appeared, not only did the academy top brass not know, let alone Mei Lin. Fortunately, she didn't understand, and she didn't talk nonsense in ignorance, otherwise it would be difficult to say what would have happened.

After observing the seven Will Runes and finding that they showed no signs of dissipating, Merlin began to carve the eighth Will Rune in the Sea of Consciousness.

In the dimly lit room, the girl sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but there seemed to be a point of light around the girl that flashed slightly, submerged into the girl's body, and quickly disappeared...... Gradually, there were more and more points of light, and the girl's forehead began to drench with a slight sweat, and a tired look gradually appeared between her eyebrows.

Merlene's eyelids blinked slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

"I'm so tired! The key to meditation is to act on mental power, but it also has the effect of strengthening physical fitness, so after cultivating for a long time, you will also feel tired. Only this time ......"

Merlin had a wry smile on her face, "Still failed." ”

The cultivation of meditation is extremely expensive, and if it exceeds the body's capacity, the whole person may be abolished, so Mei Lin got up and moved her hands and feet a little, took off her coat, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep...... After a while, the sound of soft, even breathing sounded in the room.
