The Thousand Birds Group Burst Spell is a higher-level spell that only Formal Magician can master, and its extremely high requirements for Magic Power and Mental Strength are beyond the reach of apprentices like Saine.

Although the Thousand Birds Group Burst Spell is far beyond the reach of Saine and the others, the advanced spell Group Burst Spell and the improved intermediate spell Firebird Spell are spells that Saine and the others can learn.

The study of Spell Model for these two spells is not within the scope of this Fire Element Transformation Course.

However, just before the end of class, the Mage Irene mentioned, "If any little ones are interested in the improved versions of Firebird Spell and Group Burst Spell, they can purchase knowledge of the relevant Spell Model from me by spending Magic Coin."

"Hehe, it won't be too expensive. I know some of you are quite wealthy," the Mage Irene said with a smile.

I personally experienced the intensity of these two intermediate and advanced magic spells in the classroom.

Indeed, quite a few apprentices have already been tempted.

However, the Mage Irene did not directly reveal how many Magic Coin were required to understand the relevant knowledge of these two Spell Model.

Presumably, if any apprentices were interested, they would inquire about the price privately.

"By the way, I also need to remind you that improving Spell Model is definitely not a simple matter."

"In addition to requiring extensive knowledge and spending a long time conducting experiments, it also involves extremely high risks."

"I don't think you'd want to get blown up in the lab, would you?"

"The Firebird Spell and the Group Burst Spell, although I improved these spells during my apprenticeship, are actually extremely risky moves."

"Only when you reach the level of Formal-Ranked Magician can you be considered to have the basic qualities to modify magic, or to create a new type of magic."

"Before that, what you apprentices should do is to properly study the intermediate and advanced spells that the senior Mage have already created and tested," Mage Irene added.

Saine wholeheartedly agreed with what the Mage Irene said.

He also personally studied and experimented with modification magic, and the numerous explosions he experienced at Grant Castle were enough to prove that magical research is also a dangerous activity.

Furthermore, as a high-level spell, the cost of Group Burst Spell Magic Coin is definitely not as easy as the Mage Irene made it out to be.

While Saine was tempted by this advanced magic, he had no intention of paying the price to learn it.

Not finished

It was all about the money; the main reason was that Saine had plans for his time and research direction and didn't have the extra energy to learn the Group Burst Spell from the Mage Irene.

After class, the Mage Irene left with her Crystal Ball and experimental equipment.

The Fire Element Transformation Course consists of six sessions, totaling twelve hours.

Saine felt he had benefited greatly from his first class with the Mage Irene.

This made him very much looking forward to the next five lessons, wondering what Truth Mysteries he would encounter.

After putting away his notes from class, Saine stood up and prepared to leave the classroom.

But before he could even leave his seat, Mark, the Advanced Apprentice with whom he had a conflict before class, came over again.

The Mage Irene had already left, and apart from a few fearless Advanced Apprentice, most of the other Intermediate Apprentice hurriedly left the classroom.

This, inadvertently, fueled Mark's arrogance.

"What? Want to go practice on the Challenge Stage?" Mark looked at Saine with a sneer, full of sarcasm.

Unlike his opponent, Saine, after putting away his Magic Notebook, replied calmly, "I don't have time to waste with you."

Perhaps it was the two-year learning experience at the Azure Source Holy Tower that mellowed Saine's temperament considerably.

If this were back in the old Black Wizard Academy, Saine would most likely have retorted with "Get lost!"

Instead of speaking in such a calm tone as he does now.

However, Saine's calmness did not earn him the concession of the Advanced Apprentice Mark.

Instead, it made the other side think that Saine had backed down.

A burst of exaggerated laughter came from Mark's mouth, and his two companions also laughed mockingly.

The laughter was so grating that a vein on the back of Saine's hand involuntarily bulged.

Azure Source Holy Tower Academy is not Black Wizard Academy, not a place where he can arbitrarily attack and hurt people.

At the Black Wizard Academy, Saine and Lina were able to kill Scarface Qiao Ke and others in the street.

Even if they are punished in the end, with the protection of Formal Black Wizard, the death of a few apprentices is nothing.

However, the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy is different. With the constraints of the Holy Tower Academy's rules, even though Saine is the dean's son, he absolutely cannot openly violate the academy's rules.

Because this is tantamount to slapping the face of the Holy Tower Master.

Therefore, Saine must abide by the rules and do what he wants within the scope permitted by the rules.

Suppressing the rising anger in his heart, Saine looked up at Mark with a blank expression.

In those pale blue, almost black pupils, there was a chilling coldness that was suppressed.

And deep within those pupils, a golden light flickered.

"Okay, so it's Challenge Stage?"

"Let's go," Saine replied.

Saine's change in attitude caused Mark, who was bursting into laughter, to gradually suppress his smile.

There was no way he could not restrain himself, because Saine's expression at that moment was too cold and too terrifying.

These are eyes that have seen darkness and death.

Mark had a feeling that the way the other person was staring at him was as if they were staring at a dead person.

Mark, Advanced Apprentice ranked 17th on the academy's Combat Power Ranking, is certainly not a weakling.

He had seen blood on his hands more than once.

Some were from Warcraft, and others were from other apprentices and humans.

Mark was born into a royal family of a duchy within the Green Source Land, although this small duchy was not well-known.

But it is, after all, a complete country with millions of people.

Mark possesses combat strength far exceeding that of most apprentices of the same level because he participated in wars between the duchy and other kingdoms when he was in his teens or twenties.

Furthermore, he led his personal guards to the Magic Beast Forest within the duchy's territory for trials on more than one occasion.

He is indeed an apprentice with considerable strength, but that doesn't mean he can provoke and anger Saine.

The heated exchange between the two Advanced Apprentice in the classroom aroused the curiosity and curiosity of the other apprentices.

For these apprentices, life at the Holy Tower Academy was fulfilling and busy.

But apart from a very few apprentices like Saine who could patiently immerse themselves in learning day after day for years, there were none.

The vast majority of other apprentices, however, could not escape those worldly emotions.

Aristocratic balls were a way for academy students to relieve the pressure of their studies.

In addition, the fierce battles on the Challenge Stage have attracted the attention of countless Holy Tower students.
