"Chip, compare the changes in my mental strength before and after my workout!"

"Drop, the basic data of the main body are: strength 2, 8 agility 1, 3 constitution 3, 9 spirit 6 ......"

Seeing this data, Grim couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He remembered very well that his mental strength was 7 points before. Doesn't this mean that after a mental exercise, his mental power does not rise but falls, and he also drops 1 point. This......

While he was thinking, the information prompted by the chip continued.

“…… The main body's spiritual threshold increases, the spiritual intensity increases, the fire elemental affinity increases, and the existing mental state and body-body fit are incongruous...... It is expected that this phenomenon will end after 127 hours, 36 minutes and 54 seconds, during which the subject will need to continuously release fire elements to stimulate the transformation of the body......"

“…… It is estimated that when the mental state and body fit reach the same frequency, it will bring 1 and 17 points of mental power increase to the subject......"

Dropping 1 point, increasing by 1 or 17 points, doesn't this mean that there can be a lot of increase in mental power? Moreover, this kind of spiritual training has changed Grim the most not because of the increase in spiritual power, but because of his affinity for the fire element.

This is a disguised increase in his talent potential, a huge improvement that makes him wake up laughing even when he dreams!

After all, the level of spiritual power only determines how many witchcraft he can unleash now, and how quickly his magic power recovers, while the talent potential determines how far he can go in the future and whether he has the potential to advance to the second level.

This is actually what he values the most!

However, this change is very small after all, and it will take sustained persistence to make a significant improvement. So what Grim needs to do now is to manage this Flame Throne Witch Tower well, and then persist for many years, waiting for the day when it will break out of the cocoon.

…………

As soon as Grim returned to the Witch Tower, he received a request to meet him, and the requester turned out to be Kodar, who had just returned to Ferdinand.

Grim met Kodar in his residence on the 4th floor.

The purpose of his visit was to deliver a letter written by Meryl herself, which clearly pointed out that the Sarubo family was obviously wary of the Grim family. Not only is they faintly suppressed in the distribution of resources and the allocation of materials, but even the compulsory tasks selected within the family are becoming more and more dangerous.

And the family has recently been in a fierce confrontation with another mid-level family to the east, the Yahi family, over the death of a would-be witch apprentice. Several high-ranking apprentices from the Grim family were transferred there, and the friction between the two sides was very fierce, and it could even rise to the level of a family war.

Meryl's covert information suggests that Grim is likely to be transferred to the closest family resource point to the conflict point in the near future.

At that time, Grim will inevitably be involved in the family war!

While reading the letter, I thought slowly......

After a long time, Grim gently placed the letter on the wooden table, tapped his fingers on the table, and turned his head to look at Kodar.

"That's the only thing?" Grim asked, confused, "If that's all there is to it, Meryl shouldn't have sent you here for this trip." Is there something else going on?"

Now that the witchcraft facilities inside the Flame Throne are fully complete, if there is really any big change in Federnand City, Meryl will definitely notify Grim with witchcraft as soon as possible, and there is no need to send Kodar, a quasi-witch, to make this trip.

"Teacher, I'm going to try again in the near future......" Kodar said with difficulty.

Grim's fingers tapped on the table with a slight pause.

"You're done?"

"Yes, the resources I need, my family has already prepared them for me. Chances are, I'm going to try again next week......"

Grim was silent for a moment, the blue light in his black eyes flickering slightly, and almost instantly, he detected Kodar's basic data.

Kodar, Human Quasi-Witch, Male, Talent Affinity: Dark Elemental, Body: Strength 0, 3 Agility 0, 4 Constitution 0, 4 Spirit 0, 9.

Kodar was the oldest of all Grim's disciples, and the most aristocratic. He came from an excellent background, and his family owned a rich territory of one hundred and ten miles in the middle of the continent, and he was also a royal nobleman of a small principality.

At that time, the Sarubo family also took a fancy to this, so they recruited many potential apprentices in his family. And his family is also one of the subordinate forces of the Sarupo family.

However, a good background did not bring him good luck.

Kodar has been a quasi-wizard for thirteen years, and during this time, he has also tried a ritual to advance to the wizard, but unfortunately failed!

Therefore, his surface data seems to have met the basic requirements for holding a promotion wizard ceremony, but ...... Through a full scan of the chip, Grim found that his breath of life was a dull gray. This fully shows that the loss of vitality caused by the failed promotion ceremony last time has not been completely repaired and adjusted. In this state, if you try to advance again, the success rate given by the chip detection is only 16%.

Grim, who has experienced the promotion ceremony, knows very well that the so-called wizard promotion is to strive to condense the consciousness core in the consciousness space with the power of the rules that he is good at. And this process is extremely depleting of its own energy reserves!

The process of condensing the core of consciousness is very long, and it requires a lot of energy consumption in the whole process. At the beginning, of course, the energy reserves of the progressors themselves are consumed, and once the energy reserves are insufficient, the ritual consumes the talent potential of the advancementers. If the talent potential is burned out and it is not enough, then the next thing to burn will be the life force.

Therefore, the last failure caused Kodar's potential to be seriously lost, and his vitality was greatly reduced.

If he is well maintained, then there is no problem in living another seventy or eighty years. But if he wants to fight a promotion wizard in such a state, then the biggest possibility is that his vitality is exhausted and he will be burned directly on the promotion ceremony.

16% success rate!

This is a conclusion that the chip has reached based on a combination of various factors, and it may be difficult for Kodar himself to know his success rate so accurately. He only vaguely knows that his success rate is very low, but it is difficult to grasp how low it is.

Of course, it is more likely that no matter how low the success rate is, he is probably willing to give it a try.

After all, in this world dominated by wizards, the gap between quasi-wizards and wizards is still too big!

This is actually the only end for all apprentices who embark on the path of wizards.

If you don't grit your teeth and get through one difficulty after another, you can only fall sadly on the way.

Grim hesitated, not telling Kodar his judgment.

Since he chose to visit him before the promotion ceremony, it vaguely contained the meaning of 'farewell'. Whether it was his own choice or the pressure of his family, this step was something he had to face.

In this case, no matter how much Grim says anything, it will only weaken his fighting spirit, but it is better to let him be motivated to win the 16% win rate.

Looking down and thinking for a moment, Grim took a bottle of turquoise potion from his waist pouch and handed it to Kodar.

"Take it, this is a bottle of high-grade life force recovery potion. If you feel like you can't stand it, drink it and maybe it will help you!"

This kind of high-grade potion is worth thousands of magic crystals, and it is a healing potion unique to the wizard level, and it usually does not appear on the market at all. Even ordinary wizards should treasure and collect it when they see it, so that they can save their own lives at a critical moment.

If it weren't for the possession of a qualified apothecary like Gargamel, it would be difficult for him to acquire a life-saving potion of this grade even with Grim's power.

Kodar had a grateful look on his face, silently accepted it, and then bowed deeply to Grim before slowly walking out.

As the door of his residence slowly closed, Grim had the feeling that this would be the last time he would see this Kodar!

…………

Tower of Destiny.

The door slowly opened in front of her eyes, and Alice, dressed in a purple star robe, walked briskly on the corridor of fate, while Helen, the little magic elf, flew up and down in her ears like a nagging housekeeper, constantly reporting something.

A sparkling glow pulled a beautiful band of light behind her.

The witch apprentices they met along the way all ducked to the side and bowed to the side, all of them holding witchcraft books of different thicknesses in their arms, and they looked like they were about to rush to a certain witchcraft hall to listen to the lecture.

"Who's lecturing today, Chev or Katrina?" Alice asked aloud as she suddenly pointed her finger at a young witch apprentice.

It was a witch apprentice who was only nine years old, with a young face and a snow-white apprentice robe, and struggled to hold a witchcraft book of astonishing thickness with her hands. On the side of the hardcover book is engraved in the beautiful Alidu language with the words "The Beginning of Astrology".

Because she was too young and too petite, she struggled through the corridor with a book that was almost half her height, and she also attracted the attention of others.

"Lord Alice, it's Tutor Katrina who is lecturing today!" perhaps it was the first time he had spoken to a big man like the Witch of Fate, and the schoolboy's face instantly turned red, and small beads of sweat could already be seen on the wings of his nose with a little freckles.

Katrina Witch is a wandering wizard who came to take refuge after the opening of the Tower of Destiny, although her strength is average, but the basic skills of the first-order witch are still quite solid. And now Alice is not qualified to pick and choose, no matter who comes to take refuge, she will take all the orders and arrange them all in the Tower of Destiny.

"And what's your name?" Alice suddenly became interested in the nervous little witch apprentice.

"My name is Tiffany!"
