Saine never expected that his first treatment upon returning to the Azure Source Holy Tower region would be like this.

Fortunately, the Azure Source Holy Tower badge on Saine's chest couldn't be faked, and he had an apprentice like Mark who knew Saine to vouch for him.

After using two beams of Sun's Eye Magic to neutralize Daniel's attack, and with Saine explaining and proving his identity, he finally entered the Blazing Stone Resource Point safely.

"You... what... what's going on?" Daniel asked, pointing to the unusually bright Golden Light Pillar on Saine's body.

Even the Advanced Apprentice Mark looked like he'd seen a ghost, staring at Saine in disbelief.

Saine had absolutely no liking for this guy who had just attacked him and almost caused him to be targeted by all the apprentices in the resource point.

I wasn't interested in explaining too much to him.

Aside from his friends, Saine is usually a man of few words; he prefers to get things done.

Ignoring Daniel's question, Saine flew deeper into the Blazing Stone Resource Point.

Upon discovering that the resources produced at this Large Resource Point were exactly what he needed, Saine's eyes lit up, and he asked a Intermediate Apprentice was walking out of the mine, "Where is the Main Ore Vein?"

The Intermediate Apprentice pointed Saine in the right direction.

Just as Saine was about to venture deeper into the mine to collect some Blazing Stone, Daniel, who had been ignored for a long time, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Who exactly are you? Are you truly an apprentice of our Azure Source Holy Tower?"

"Why have I never heard of you before? I've heard that in previous Regional Academy War, there were quite a few cases of apprentices disguising themselves as apprentices from other academies to infiltrate resource points." → Daniel stood in front of Saine and asked in a deep voice.

Daniel's actions made Saine raise an eyebrow.

"What a noisy guy," Saine thought, having already removed the Sun's Eye Mask.

He wasn't particularly good at interacting with fellow apprentices, otherwise he wouldn't have so few acquaintances at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Fortunately, Mark has proven his identity and appearance, which shows that Mark role in the Challenger battle was somewhat useful.

Saine's disdainful and indifferent attitude made Daniel's face turn bright red.

However, this guy did not continue to attack Saine. Firstly, attacking his own apprentice would be a serious violation of the rules and a malicious act.

On the other hand, it could also be Dan

Neil felt he couldn't beat his opponent.

The scene where the two previous Sun's Eye Magic easily tore apart the three hurricanes he had summoned left a deep impression on Daniel.

Furthermore, the 100,000 points that Saine currently possesses are enough to command the respect of 99% of the apprentices in the Trial Space.

Faced with Daniel's insistence, Saine merely grumbled a few words.

Of course, his actions led many people unfamiliar with him to believe that Saine was extremely difficult to deal with.

Advanced Apprentice Mark instinctively covered his eyes with his hands; he was now certain that the person before him was none other than Saine!

They are not imposters using disguises to swindle people here.

That familiar tone, that unpleasant manner, and that disdainful look in his eyes.

Mark has relived the scene on the Challenge Stage in his dreams more than once, and tries to defeat his opponent and avenge his defeat.

Unfortunately, Mark's desire to get his revenge remained only a dream.

According to his grandmother Irene's assessment of Mark, with Mark's current knowledge and Mental Strength strength, it would take him at least ten more years to reach the level of Quasi-Magician.

Furthermore, even if it were apprentices from other academies, using disguise or camouflage magic to impersonate apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower, surely no one would be so foolish as to create such a dazzling Golden Light Pillar for themselves.

Faced with Daniel's persistent questioning, Saine replied, "My name is Saine. I was a magic apprentice in the same year Director Johnny, and it was Director Johnny who recommended me to Azure Source Holy Tower."

"If you have any doubts about my identity, you can ask him. The person who helped me with my enrollment procedures was his grandmother, the Formal Magician Irene," Saine said, pointing to Mark, the Advanced Apprentice beside the two.

"As for why you've never seen me before? How would I know?"

"Besides, I don't even know you!" Saine snorted coldly, then ignored Daniel.

Saine's personality was truly an anomaly among the Holy Tower's magic apprentices.

Fortunately, no further variables or conflicts occurred.

Just as Saine learned in his childhood in City of Mozhsuobula, strength is the prerequisite for everything.

It was precisely because Saine had enough strength that he had the confidence and audacity to give Daniel a hard time.

If a low-level apprentice were to appear here now, no matter how arrogant...

Even someone of their stature probably wouldn't dare speak to someone like Daniel, the "Number One Person of the Azure Source Holy Tower," like that.

After watching Saine disappear into the depths of the mine, Daniel remained silent for a long time before finally turning around and leaving.

"The energy ore, Blazing Stone, is indeed quite suitable as a charging tool for the Sun's Eye Mask."

"Furthermore, given the properties of this magical material, if I were outside, in a sufficiently tranquil environment and with adequate conditions, I might even try to grind it into powder and incorporate it into the Sun's Eye Mask to enhance its quality."

Standing before a makeshift Laboratory Table in the dimly lit underground mine, Saine sighed.

The environment within the Trial Space at this time did not allow Saine to conduct any in-depth and time-consuming Experimental Research.

The presence of the Golden Light Pillar, in particular, exposed Saine to the sight of many apprentices, and danger could strike at any moment.

Even in the underground mine deep within the Blazing Stone Mountain Range, where Saine was currently, a Golden Light Pillar appeared outside the mountain, like a precise beacon, pointing directly at Saine's location below.

Many apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower were extremely curious about the existence of this golden light.

Furthermore, in the gossip and chatter of some apprentices who roughly knew the truth, the fact that Saine's score had exceeded 100,000 and that he was currently ranked first in the Regional War points list gradually spread throughout the Blazing Stone Resource Point.

It also spread to other resource points in the Azure Source Holy Tower area and among the vast apprentice community.

As for this matter, since over 99% of the apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower do not know Saine, they could not possibly know about his rather aloof and withdrawn personality.

As for how quickly Saine managed to take the top spot on the leaderboard and reach a total score of over 100,000 points, which is unbelievable to all the apprentices.

This led these apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower to gradually regard Saine as their role model and idol.

Does our Azure Source Holy Tower also have such a powerful apprentice?

Many junior and intermediate apprentices are proud of this.

Saine had no idea that he had already gained considerable popularity and influence among the lower and middle-level apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Even the Advanced Apprentice and Quasi-Magician couldn't help but feel amazed and admiring of Saine after learning about his points and ranking.
