The area under the influence of the Azure Source Holy Tower is known as the "Green Source Land".

However, compared to the vast territory of the entire Wizard World, this area is nothing, and it cannot even be considered a "region".

In the same district as the Azure Source Holy Tower are the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, the Secret Language Holy Tower, the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, and the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower.

Among the five major Holy Tower organizations, the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower ranks the strongest.

It is also the oldest of the five Holy Tower Holy Tower, having been built 80,000 years ago.

The second-ranked tower is the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower. Unlike the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, which has an 80,000-year history, the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower Holy Tower itself has a history of 50,000 years.

Furthermore, the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower has been rising rapidly in recent years. It is said that in the last Regional Holy Tower Academy War, its ranking almost dethroned the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower as the top dog.

The Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower and the Secret Language Holy Tower are roughly equal in overall strength, but both of these Holy Tower are much stronger than the Azure Source Holy Tower.

In Saine's view, the so-called "Pre-War Mobilization Training" was more like the Formal Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower teaching the apprentices of the academy how to occupy resource points in the Trial Space and avoid being attacked from the other Holy Tower Academy.

This is a last resort; the strength of the Azure Source Holy Tower is undeniable.

Without resorting to underhanded tactics, the academy is destined to be at the bottom of the rankings in this Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

It was during the training that Saine gradually gained a general understanding of the process and overall details of the Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

The location of the Regional Holy Tower Academy War appears to be a special area jointly established by the five Holy Tower Academy.

This area is completely covered by an elemental energy shield; those outside cannot get in, and those inside cannot get out.

Apprentices entering the Trial Space can earn points by capturing resource points, killing or defeating other Holy Tower apprentices, and eliminating otherworldly creatures deployed by various Holy Tower organizations.

This mode of warfare is almost a simplified version of Plane War.

It was emphasized that students of the same Holy Tower Academy must not kill each other.

This also seems to indicate that during the Plane War, the powerful in the Wizard World are not allowed to attack their own people in their own plane.

The training course Formal Magician also repeatedly emphasized that once they entered the Trial Space, each apprentice must take good care of their Holy Tower Badge and be ready to activate it at any time.

Before entering the Trial Space, the Formal Magician of the Holy Tower Academy will give each apprentice a [something related to their identity/status].

The medal is enhanced with Gravity Shield.

The Gravity Shield possesses enough defensive power to withstand a full-force attack from Formal Magician.

More importantly, after activating the medal, the apprentice will be quickly removed from the Trial Space, and half of the points he/she earned in the Trial Space will be automatically transferred to the apprentice in front of him/her.

The Formal Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower is to warn their prospective apprentices to carefully assess the situation and avoid making rash decisions. →

When faced with insurmountable danger, do not hesitate to activate the Gravity Shield immediately to escape the Trial Space.

This also shows that the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy values the safety of its students.

Especially during the last Academy War, the loss rate of Holy Tower apprentices was close to 40%, which angered the Tower Master and made these Formal Magician and the three deans much more cautious.

Actually, the reason why the Azure Source Holy Tower suffered such a defeat last time was not only due to the deliberate targeting and pincer attack from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower and the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower, but also partly because the consecutive defeats in the three Academy War made the Formal Magician of the Holy Tower Academy and a certain dean somewhat impatient and reckless.

They clearly lack the ability, yet they insist on competing to see who is better, ultimately resulting in the loss of their own academy's students' lives.

The students of this year, including Saine, were lucky enough to arrive just in time for the Holy Tower Academy to change its war strategy.

If it was the previous class... no wonder the older apprentices looked rather solemn.

A casualty ratio of nearly 40% is quite staggering, even in wars between secular human kingdoms; it can be considered a bloody massacre.

This is all predicated on the existence of Gravity Shield for survival.

For the first few days of the pre-battle training course, Saine listened quite attentively, but in the following days, Saine lost interest.

The main reason is that the Azure Source Holy Tower has changed its strategy quite thoroughly this time, focusing only on defense and not attacking, seemingly determined to only compete for public resource points that pose little threat.

The Formal Magician in the training courses didn't elaborate much on the battles with other Holy Tower Academy students or the sieges against otherworldly creatures.

The entire academy seemed to be aiming for fourth place in this Regional War.

The fourth place in the previous Regional War was the Secret Language Holy Tower Academy. This Holy Tower Academy is also the only one with a relatively close relationship with the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Unlike other academies, which immediately treated the students of the Azure Source Holy Tower as sheep, relentlessly killing and plundering their points, this academy was different.

Saine has made up his mind that once the Regional Holy Tower Academy War begins, he will leave the Holy Tower main force and travel alone.

move.

On the one hand, Saine is not used to cooperating with other apprentices in the Holy Tower Academy; he is better at fighting alone.

On the other hand, if one wants to plunder enough points and benefits in the Regional Holy Tower Academy War, simply occupying resource points as required by the Holy Tower Magician will never get you ahead.

Each point represents a Intermediate Energy Crystal, and ten points represent a High-Level Energy Crystal.

Upon entering the Trial Space, junior apprentices automatically receive 1 point, Intermediate Apprentice receive 10 points, and Advanced Apprentice receive 100 points.

The total number of apprentices invested in the Azure Source Holy Tower alone is nearly 10,000, and the number of apprentices invested in the other four Holy Tower is probably even greater.

Simply targeting other Holy Tower apprentices in the Trial Space would mean a substantial income.

This doesn't even include the powerful Alien Plane creatures, who generally possess even more reward points.

Opportunities always favor those who are prepared and have a fighting spirit. You won't get good fortune if you just sit there and wait.

Let alone Advanced Apprentice, even ordinary Intermediate Apprentice, as long as they are bold enough and meticulous enough, can definitely make a fortune in the Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

Saine's ambitions were much greater; he was aiming for the top twenty in the Regional Holy Tower Academy War rankings.

According to the Holy Tower Magician in the training course, the top twenty apprentices in terms of points will receive various potions and resources that will help them advance to become Formal Magician by 70%.

The higher your ranking, the richer the rewards.

Several years have passed, and although Saine has been dedicated to the study of alchemy recently, he has not slowed down the pace of his Mental Strength and Magic Power improvement.

Mental Strength; 81

Magic Power: 79

Physical condition: 21

This is the current data status of Saine.

In just a few years, his Mental Strength has increased by more than ten points. This is not because Saine is truly gifted, but because his Mental Strength has increased unconsciously while conducting Alchemy Experiment and magical research.

This is also because the advanced version of the Sun's Eye Magic is too high-end. With the breaking down of Saine's knowledge barrier and the expansion of his cognitive limits, the so-called increase in Mental Strength is just a natural consequence.

Compared to those magic apprentices who painstakingly accumulate Mental Strength through meditation, Saine's method of advancement is the true path for a Mage to become stronger.
