"Bang! Bang!"
A hurried knocking sound echoed.
Sinier frowned slightly, gave an apologetic smile to the other two people in the room, and stood up to open the door.
"It’s you?"
Looking at Jeff in front of him, his voice was icy:
"Anything?"
"Yes, there is." Jeff maintained his usual ingratiating smile, rubbing his hands together, and took out a copper bottle from behind:
"Senior, this is yours..."
"Angus Wizard?"
Upon seeing the people inside the room, Jeff looked ecstatic and skittered past Sinier to Angus’s side.
"Angus Wizard, do you rember ? I was an apprentice who joined the academy the sa ti as you, but couldn’t pass the assessnt to stay. I can’t compare to you."
"My na is Jeff!"
"Jeff?" Angus said expressionless, nodding slowly:
"I rember you."
"Although your talent wasn’t great, you were very capable, and I heard that you’re doing quite well after leaving the academy."
With the powerful spiritual power of a wizard, it’s impossible to forget anyone you’ve t in life.
Unless deliberately forgotten or influenced by witchcraft.
"You’re too kind." Jeff bowed smilingly:
"Thanks to you, I’ve been purchasing materials needed by Academy Wizards and Advanced Wizard Apprentices in the market, luckily making a small fortune."
"By the way."
He spoke:
"Lynn has been solved by , he will never appear before you again."
"..." Angus didn’t reply and instead looked at Sinier with a trace of disgust in his eyes.
"Senior."
Sinier’s face changed dramatically, he stepped forward and kicked Jeff to the ground, loudly berating:
"What nonsense are you talking?"
"When did Senior ask you to solve Lynn? He’s just an insignificant person."
"Yes, yes." Jeff scrambled to get up, harshly slapped his own cheek while smiling apologetically:
"I acted on my own, it’s unrelated to the two seniors, I spoke out of turn, please don’t take it to heart."
While slapping his face, he passed the copper bottle in his hand to Sinier:
"Senior, what you lent is really good; this way, one could say it’s the Abyssal Demon who did it and won’t be traced back to us."
"Hmph!"
Sinier grabbed the copper bottle, glaring viciously at him:
"What’s happening today? Talking without thinking, where’s your usual cleverness gone?"
Ordinary Jeff wouldn’t be as stupid as he was today, offering flattery recklessly without understanding the situation.
Killing Lynn was Senior’s idea, but is this sothing to be said?
Foolish!
As for the copper bottle containing the Horned Demon, it’s actually a valuable piece of Advanced Magic Items, naturally just borrowed, impossible to be given.
"Yes, yes."
Jeff nodded repeatedly, seeing Sinier nod and check the copper bottle, a strange look quickly flashed in his eyes, then he abruptly pinched a hand gesture.
"Bang!"
Suddenly.
The cork of the copper bottle popped open, and thick smoke poured out, accompanied by a mad, murderous, chaotic aura.
Not good!
Sinier’s face changed dramatically.
Adjacent Angus reacted even faster, his figure suddenly retreated, while a terrifying spiritual pressure descended.
Another Advanced Wizard Apprentice observer responded slower, hurriedly retreating a mont too late.
The Inheritance Witchcraft practiced by Angus is different from ordinary Wizard Apprentice, especially adept at creating various illusion techniques, his spiritual power far beyond peers, instantly suppressing the smoke in an outbreak, revealing the scene within.
"Roar!"
A Two-Horned Demon, completely red and wrapped in fiery fla, leapt out from the copper bottle, charging at Sinier.
"Be careful!"
Angus instinctively spoke, then saw Jeff grinning hideously, like a madman, charging towards him.
This is...
Puppetry Technique?
As a Spirit Master, Jeff’s situation was clear to him with a glance, this was controlled by soone casting a spell.
But the incident happened suddenly, even he didn’t have ti to help unravel the witchcraft on Jeff.
Moreover,
Angus had no intention of helping.
"Boom!"
His rampant spiritual power turned into a giant hamr, combining with the drifting elental particles in the void, forming a solid entity, then smashing down fiercely.
Jeff only felt his sight darken, his senses lost everything, only the giant hamr crashing towards him.
"Bang!"
Just a single strike.
Jeff’s head exploded entirely, the headless corpse staggered forward a few steps before collapsing crookedly to the ground.
On the other side.
The Two-Horned Demon, wrapped in fiery flas, was like a madman, entangled with Sinier, using every possible thod to attack.
Seeing Angus becoming available, the Two-Horned Demon seed to understand sothing, suddenly roared skyward.
The elental particles of fire in the air instantly grew agitated.
Not good!
Angus’s face changed, his body turned into a phantom, retreating violently, the ethereal entity directly bypassing window casents and walls, appearing outside the courtyard.
The rear.
"Boom!"
A massive fla engulfed half the courtyard, with a core heat sufficient to lt refined iron, and the firelight soared to the sky.
Needless to say,
Sinier was dood.
"Senior."
Another apprentice fled even faster, showing relief after narrowly escaping calamity:
"That was close!"
"Lynn!" Angus squinted his eyes slightly, staring intently at the flas in the scene, and took a deep breath:
"I need to go into seclusion to advance to the realm of an Official Wizard, the ti... will take over three months."
"Senior." The apprentice was stunned:
"Do you intend to take this opportunity to kill that Lynn?"
Others might not know, but he was aware that Angus had a bizarre witchcraft that could curse and kill others from a distance, although it required so preparation ti.
Obviously.
This should be it.

On this day.
Lynn, as usual, ca to the area under Natalie’s charge to submit the potions assigned to him by the academy.
"Do not leave yet."
Just as he was about to leave, Natalie spoke to stop him:
"Co with ."
"...Alright." Lynn’s eyes showed confusion as he followed her to a wooden house.
Natalie took out a gold-embellished jade pendant with a solemn expression and placed it in his hand.
"Lynn."
"I’ve investigated the continuous incidents with Jito’s disciples, and although the specific details are unclear, it’s most likely related to him."
"According to my speculation, Jito probably treats his disciples as so sort of sustenance for his advancent, relying on devouring their talent and cultivation to increase his own power."
"Hmm?" Lynn’s expression changed slightly:
"Doesn’t the academy handle such matters?"
"Cases of wizard apprentices dying during cultivation are not uncommon, and many die under unclear circumstances, the academy turns a blind eye." Natalie shook her head:
"Moreover, Jito is an Official Wizard, as long as he doesn’t go too far, no one will care."
"This item..."
She pointed to the jade pendant and said:
"I obtained this demonized item years ago, which can enhance the defensive power of your Spiritual Inner Sea. If Jito really decides to target you, it can help shield you."
However.
This is just a temporary asure.
Natalie plans to find an opportunity later to arrange for Lynn to stay by her side to ensure his safety.
"This..." Lynn looked at the jade pendant in his hand and nodded slowly:
"Thank you."
"No need to be polite with , I owe you, if it weren’t for you, I might already be dead." Natalie shook her head:
"Go back."
"Even if Jito wants to use you for his exercises, he’ll wait until your cultivation reaches the level of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice, so there’s no rush for now."
No rush?
Lynn sighed softly.
He would not slow down his cultivation progress, as he is currently advancing to the level of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
......
"Lynn."
A pale-faced middle-aged woman knocked on his door, speaking expressionlessly:
"There’s no need for you to handle the affairs in Vier Town anymore. Next, follow Wizard Jito to learn Inheritance Witchcraft."
"..." Lynn looked at her, his fingers trembling slightly, and nodded slowly:
"Okay."
"Pack up your things and co with ." The middle-aged woman said:
"You have an hour to take care of any trivial matters."
"Yes." Lynn turned around and began packing his things, asking seemingly casually:
"As far as I know, all of Tutor Jito’s disciples have t with accidents, how did Senior Sister survive?"
"..." The middle-aged woman’s eyes contracted, staring at him tightly:
"When I beca a disciple of Wizard Jito, he was not yet a wizard."
Hmm?
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
The implication of this statent, could it be that Jito only started using his disciples for exercises after becoming an Official Wizard?
"Senior Sister."
Lynn turned around, slinging the pack on his back:
"The Tutor turned you into a puppet, where your life and death are not under your own control, entirely dependent on his whim, have you never thought of resisting?"
"Hehe..." The middle-aged woman chuckled lowly, the laughter eerie and terrifying:
"Lynn."
"It seems you know sothing, but those rumors don’t an reality, the Tutor gave a second life, and he treats very well, I could never betray him."
"It’s you who should not be swayed by so people’s temptation, always trust the Tutor like you trust the truth."
Hmm,
The attempt at persuasion failed!
