Having collected some of the Water Chrome Stone and stored it in his Space Ring, Saine glanced at the direction and continued flying eastward. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

Following the discovery of the Water Chrome Stone resource point, Saine found four more Small Resource Point over the next three days.

Of these four Small Resource Point, two were first arrived at and marked by Saine, while the other two had already been taken by other apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Saine finished second and third, earning 50 and 30 points respectively.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Saine finally came into contact with the other apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower, which shows how vast the Trial Space is.

The first group of three apprentices from the Azure Source Holy Tower to appear before Saine were a group of three.

Two of them possess the skills of Intermediate Apprentice, and one possesses the skills of a low-level apprentice.

Upon seeing the Quasi-Magician, Saine, flying through the air, the three apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower respectfully bowed to him.

"How long have you been in the Trial Space? When did you meet?" Saine asked.

"Replying to senior, I entered the Trial Space three days ago and only met up with Ina and the other two yesterday," replied the only male Intermediate Apprentice among the three.

Saine nodded and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, seemingly recalling the repeated instructions from the Formal Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower during the training course, Saine turned to the three weak apprentices below and said, "Go in this direction. In about a day, you will come to a mountain valley where there is a Small Resource Point Fire Crystal Stone." →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

Saine's words brought a look of surprise and delight to the three apprentices, who quickly bowed to him again.

However, by this time, Saine had already gone far away.

The Fire Crystal Stone resource point that Saine mentioned was not one that he discovered and marked first.

When he arrived there, there were already three marks of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

This means that three apprentices had already discovered and marked the location.

As expected, the competition in the Trial Space is quite intense. If Saine wants to earn a huge number of points, relying solely on resource points is far from enough.

"It seems that all the advanced apprentices of this Holy Tower are now focusing their energy on capturing resource points."

"I wonder if anyone has already set their sights on the other Holy Tower Academy?"

"Considering the strategies those Formal Magician devised in their training courses..." Saine shook his head and pondered.

In the following days, as expected, Saine's points...

The acquisition speed has been decreasing again and again.

Although he passed through and discovered several resource points, most of these resource points had already been marked and occupied by other apprentices.

The last resource point marked by Saine was a small Fire Rune Stone Mine, and he was the third to mark and occupy it.

As expected, there are at least a hundred advanced apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Even when dispersed over a relatively large area, the ability to Levitation Spell allows for rapid mobility and resource collection.

According to the predictions of the Holy Tower Magician, as long as all the apprentices above the advanced level work together, it will not be a problem to occupy all the Small Resource Point in the area within a month.

Similarly, as Saine spent more time in the Trial Space, more and more disciples of the Azure Source Holy Tower appeared before him.

The vast majority were apprentices below the intermediate level. Of course, during this time, Saine also met several other Advanced Apprentice and Quasi-Magician.

They just weren't very familiar with each other, so they didn't stop to talk.

So far, Saine has not seen her Cousin Serena, nor has she seen any of the other apprentices she knows, including Advanced Apprentice Mark and Quasi-Magician Green.

The Trial Space was enormous, and there were as many as ten thousand apprentices from the Azure Source Holy Tower who had entered it.

Even during the more than two-year-long Regional Holy Tower Academy War, it was normal not to see each other.

About half a month after Saine entered the Trial Space, Saine finally discovered and arrived at a Medium Resource Point.

The central resource point has not been marked as occupied, but the number of Azure Source Holy Tower apprentices gathered here is already close to twenty.

The reason these Holy Tower apprentices did not occupy this place is because there are three otherworldly creatures guarding this Medium Resource Point called "Purple Fir Wood Forest".

This is a three-headed, humanoid creature with obvious wounds on its body and green skin.

Two pairs of thin cicada wings appeared behind them, and their eyes were also a pure dark green.

The three otherworldly creatures held sharp, javelin-like weapons, which were likely native to their original plane of existence.

Aside from the metal used to make the javelins, Saine had never seen before, the javelins were also engraved with many fine and conspicuous patterns.

Faced with a group of Wizard Civilization apprentices who outnumbered them seven to one, the three otherworldly creatures let out hoarse hisses, seemingly trying to scare the apprentices away.

The three strangely shaped otherworldly creatures, one of which has slightly darker skin, should possess the strength of Quasi-Magician.

The other two, which are slightly lighter in color, are comparable in strength to Advanced Apprentice.

When Saine arrived at this Medium Resource Point, he was somewhat curious why the apprentices in front of him didn't just blast the three otherworldly creatures to pieces and take over the resource point.

Immediately afterwards, one of the two Quasi-Magician present, the female apprentice, said, "Another Quasi-Magician has arrived. Let's make our move, Jack! Our current strength is enough to annihilate these otherworldly creatures!"

The female apprentice's words caused many of the apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower outside the Purple Fir Wood Forest to show interest.

However, another Quasi-Magician named Jack shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer. These three otherworldly creatures are not so easy to deal with. Let's gather ten more apprentices before we make our move."

The words of this Jack magic apprentice also represented the sentiments of some other Holy Tower apprentices outside the Purple Fir Wood Forest.

Speaking of which, these Holy Tower apprentices have carried out many academy missions and even killed many Level Magical Beast.

But this was the first time they had ever encountered beings from another world.

Some creatures do indeed exhibit curiosity and a willingness to try new things.

However, some creatures may exhibit resistance and aversion towards unfamiliar beings.

In particular, these three otherworldly creatures in front of them were clearly not to be trifled with.

The scars on their bodies mark the pain they endured during the Plane War.

Despite all these wounds, they still refused to yield and issued hoarse rebukes to the apprentices of the Wizard World.

Unfortunately, none of the magic apprentices present possessed the skill of Mental Strength communication; otherwise, they might have been able to understand what these three otherworldly beings were saying.

The female apprentice was clearly displeased by the male Quasi-Magician Jack's hesitation and composure.

However, the female apprentice did not disobey him in the end, because she knew that Jack in front of her was an "old man" who had experienced the previous Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

Jack could tolerate it, but Saine had just arrived at this Medium Resource Point, couldn't.

Otherworldly creatures posed no threat to Saine. Over the years, he had dissected countless biological specimens, many of which were from otherworldly beings.

As for beings stronger than these three otherworldly creatures, Saine had seen them before.

With a wealth of points at his fingertips, Saine wasn't about to wait idly by.
