Chapter 463 - 232: Rule Comparison
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Ze had already spent two months in the Thunder Elemental Plane.
The moment the sixth drop of the Power of Rules formed beside the Elemental Fire, he immediately felt a familiar sense of saturation.
’Is six drops the limit?’
Pei Ze’s brow furrowed slightly, but it quickly smoothed out again.
The power of these six drops was already comparable to that of forty or fifty wisps of the Power of Rules from before.
Though the quantity was small, the quality had increased by nearly tenfold.
’The simulation for the plan to accelerate the fusion rate won’t be complete for another forty days.’
Pei Ze glanced at the sky, which was filled with thunderclouds.
’It’s time to leave the Thunder Elemental Plane.’
Although he had been away for two months, Pei Ze had never broken contact with the Tower Spirits, so he was well aware of the situation at the Wizard Tower.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
After returning to the Wizard Tower, Pei Ze didn’t linger. He left straight away and headed for the High Tower Academy.
After the God-Slaying Operation, Mo Weng had returned to his previous reclusive state in the medicine garden.
’Honestly, Pei Ze still didn’t understand why a Sixth-level Wizard would stay in the medicine garden of a mere Wizard Academy, even occasionally serving as a teacher.’
After all, the dean of the High Tower Academy was only a Level 5 Wizard.
’One could only say that the powerful all have their strange quirks.’
Returning to the High Tower Academy after so many years, Pei Ze couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia as he watched the young, energetic faces coming and going.
All told, many years had passed since his graduation from the High Tower Academy.
His time as a student at the High Tower Academy seemed like just yesterday.
After a moment of reflection, Pei Ze headed for Medicine Garden No. 8.
Under the cover of an Illusion Technique, the students on the path didn’t notice the Wizard who had appeared beside them at all.
He arrived at Medicine Garden No. 8 without making a sound.
As soon as he stepped into the medicine garden, Pei Ze felt a familiar Spiritual Power land on him for an instant. It paused for a moment before being quickly withdrawn.
’It’s Mo Weng’s Spiritual Power!’
Without breaking stride, Pei Ze walked directly to the Potion House. Sure enough, he saw Mo Weng already inside, waiting for him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan was there too.
Mo Weng stared at Pei Ze, his eyes shining brightly. They were filled with a myriad of emotions—relief, joy, amazement, and more.
Finally, all these emotions culminated in a single, heartfelt question.
"When did you break through?"
"Two months ago," Pei Ze replied calmly.
Mo Weng nodded lightly, saying nothing more.
By now, he had long grown accustomed to the surprises Pei Ze brought him.
No matter how unbelievable, anything that happened to this disciple of his seemed perfectly normal.
But being accustomed to it was one thing; feeling a sense of awe was still unavoidable.
At the side, Lu Yan listened to their conversation in confusion. It wasn’t until he sensed the aura on Pei Ze—one that was completely different from before—that he suddenly realized what was going on. His eyes widened as he stared at Pei Ze.
"Pei Ze, you... you’ve advanced to Level 5 Wizard?"
Seeing Pei Ze nod slightly, Lu Yan froze on the spot, his expression dazed.
He never would have imagined that Pei Ze would break through and advance so quickly.
’How long had it been since Pei Ze became a Level 4 Wizard?’
’Five or six years at the absolute most!’
’To think there was actually a genius in this world who could break through from Level 4 to Level 5 in such a short time!’
’It was simply unbelievable!’
’Even the Chosen couldn’t advance this quickly.’
Once again, Lu Yan was struck by his junior brother’s astonishing talent.
No wonder their teacher always spoke with such a tone of utter amazement whenever he mentioned Pei Ze.
"What are your plans now?" Mo Weng asked.
Pei Ze thought for a moment before saying, "I’m preparing to make a trip to the Hell Plane."
’The water from the River of Blood that Wuyu needs for its evolution can only be obtained in Hell or the Abyss.’
’Of course, I’ll have to wait until I’ve finished the things I’m currently working on.’
’For instance, the Eye of Omniscience completing its simulation, and upgrading the Wizard Tower.’
Mo Weng didn’t ask for specific reasons, merely reminding him to be careful.
After chatting for a little while longer, Pei Ze took his leave from the Potion House.
He had only come here to tell his teacher about his advancement.
However, not long after Pei Ze left, the news of his advancement to Level 5 Wizard spread through Chenxi City like a hurricane, instantly causing a massive uproar.
...
「Inner City, Yin Family Estate.」
Yin Yongqin sat behind his desk, across from him was Yin Xing, Yin Guang’s father.
The two were discussing the matter of the rogue wizards.
"The reinforcements have reached the Hell Plane and joined the hunt for Pan Mo and the others, but the situation is still far from optimistic."
Yin Xing’s brow was tightly furrowed as he sighed.
"Those renegades, in their quest for power, recklessly participated in the Blood War. Now, every one of them has had their minds twisted, turning them into bloodthirsty, murderous madmen."
Yin Yongqin said lightly, "It’s most likely Pan Mo’s handiwork."
"That old bastard has always been ruthless. Forcing his own people to participate in the Blood War to resist the pursuit... it’s not something he wouldn’t do."
Yin Xing nodded in deep agreement.
Facts had proven Pan Mo’s methods to be very effective.
Although many of the rogue wizards died in the Blood War, the survivors’ strength skyrocketed, catching the Wizards of the Silver Light Legion who were hunting them completely off guard.
If that hadn’t been the case, the Dawn Council wouldn’t have needed to send reinforcements.
Just then, a silver butterfly flew in from outside and landed on the desk.
Yin Yongqin beckoned with his hand, and the butterfly flew into his palm, transforming into a letter.
As his gaze swept over the letter, an irrepressible look of shock appeared on Yin Yongqin’s face.
Yin Xing saw this and asked in confusion, "What is it, Brother?"
Yin Yongqin didn’t answer, simply handing the letter to Yin Xing. The latter took one look and his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Pei Ze has advanced to Level 5 Wizard!"
