"Cousin..." Serena walked gracefully down from the platform, her face slightly flushed.

At this moment, most of the thousands of Azure Source Holy Tower apprentices in the resource point had their eyes on Saine.

When Serena, an ordinary intermediate-level female apprentice, called Saine" cousin," Serena herself became the focus of everyone's attention.

It's clear that Serena isn't comfortable in the spotlight.

Although she was of noble birth, she lost her mother at a young age, and her family branch was a relatively desolate and impoverished one.

He has indeed attended many aristocratic banquets, but he has almost never been the main character or the focus of attention.

Besides her maternal grandfather's unwavering love and care for Serena, even her cousin Saine, seemed to pay more attention to and value Serena than the rest of the Ferrell Family.

In response to Serena's greeting, Saine nodded and casually asked, "It seems you've improved quite a bit in the past year. How many points do you have now?"

After Saine stormed through District 5, even without using detection magic, his keen eyesight allowed him to discern slight changes in Serena's strength and overall demeanor.

This little guy must have matured a lot since entering the Trial Space.

Sure enough, upon learning that Serena's score was close to four hundred and that she had also acquired a specimen of an otherworldly creature at the Intermediate Magical Beast, Saine gave her a look of approval and praise.

"Not bad," Saine said.

Saine, who is usually aloof, Serena quite moved by a simple word of encouragement.

Having lived with Saine for several years and assisted Saine in countless days and nights of Experimental Research, Serena knew that Saine rarely praised others.

"Where's the mask I gave you?" Saine, somewhat puzzled, as he looked at Serena's increasingly flushed face.

Her blush deepened rather than diminished, and Serena lowered her head and whispered, "I accidentally broke it in my second month in the Trial Space."

Next, a red mask with three obvious cracks in the middle appeared in Saine's hand.

The three cracks appeared to be the work of some otherworldly creature's claws, but fortunately, Saine did not find any related scars on Serena's face.

After putting the mask away, Saine said, "I'll be staying at Wind Howling Cliff for a while. During that time, I'll fix your mask and give you some other items for self-defense."

After Saine, Sain's conversations with Serena were mostly conducted via telepathic communication.

And because

Since no one dared to approach Saine, no one knew what the brother and sister talked about afterward.

Saine stayed at Wind Howling Cliff for a total of three days.

Three days is enough time for Saine to repair Serena's Crimson Mask and remake some of the Blazing Light Grenade.

Among the self-defense items given to Serena, in addition to giving her several Blazing Light Grenade, Saine also selected two high-level magical equipment and several mid-level magical equipment.

These items were not made by Saine, but Spoils of War from other apprentices he had seized in the Trial Space.

The sight of a huge pile of magical equipment and various Spoils of War being poured out of the Space Ring really startled Serena.

What surprised Serena even more was the hundreds of Space Equipment of various styles in Saine's hands.

Where did all these things come from?

The golden light emanating from Saine's body, along with his endless stream of trump cards and massive amounts of equipment, ensured that his aura of mystery and power would never fade.

Even Serena seemed never to have truly understood or seen through Saine.

"Where are you going?" Daniel, the Quasi-Magician, asked Saine outside Wind Howling Cliff.

"I heard that some other resource points in our area are also being attacked by apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower. I plan to go and take a look," Saine replied.

"I'll go with you," Daniel said.

"I'll go too," Anna chimed in.

Not only Daniel and Anna, but all the apprentices in the Wind Howling Cliff Resource Point who noticed the situation here were eager to try their luck.

Even Saine's obedient and sensible Cousin Serena blushed and looked ready to follow Saine.

Compared to acting alone, group actions are indeed more advantageous and safer.

With thousands of apprentices working together, it seems much better than Saine playing solo.

The thousands of points harvested a few days ago outside the Wind Howling Cliff Resource Point already proved everything.

"Alright, but if you're too slow, I won't wait for you." Saine glanced at Daniel and Anna, then at Serena, before speaking.

The Azure Source Holy Tower, which has been dormant and oppressed for four Regional Academy War, is finally about to see the light of day this year thanks to the birth of its Peak Apprentice, Saine.

With Saine's initial attack and the support of thousands of Azure Source Holy Tower apprentices, the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower's infiltrated students were subdued in just half a month.

The apprentices were all expelled from the Apprentice Zone Azure Source Holy Tower.

At the beginning, only a thousand or so apprentices from the Wind Howling Cliff Resource Point Azure Source Holy Tower followed Saine on his mission.

However, as more and more apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower received the news, they rushed over from all directions.

Half a month later, the total number of apprentices gathered in the Azure Source Holy Tower Border Zone had exceeded four thousand.

If it weren't for the need for some apprentices to guard the resource points in this area, and if it weren't for the fact that some apprentices are not good at warfare and killing.

Otherwise, the final number of apprentices gathered will be even greater.

The reason why all the invading Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices were driven out of the area in just half a month was largely due to the fact that the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices had no will to fight.

The mere existence of Saine is an unsolvable problem.

So many people tried to besiege Saine before but failed. Now that Saine is among thousands of apprentices and has a cautious and steady personality, the appearance of the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower can only give him points.

Saine, who had driven all the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices out of the region, was still not satisfied with the status quo.

At this point, his points had increased to 120,000.

"The Apprentice Zone of Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower is about five times the size of our Azure Source Holy Tower's Apprentice Zone."

"Similarly, they have more resource points than we do."

"Do you... have any ideas?" Saine asked Daniel and Anna beside him.

At this moment, Daniel and Anna were completely convinced by the victory led by Saine.

Simply driving the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower out of the region is not enough.

They want more!

"Of course, that fat woman Boboli from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower actually dared to attack my Wind Howling Cliff Resource Point."

"This time, I'll show her what I'm capable of!" Anna replied, brandishing her Magic Staff first.

This female apprentice, who originally possessed the demeanor of a noble lady, was now speaking in an extremely fierce tone.

Daniel, on the other hand, was much more composed than Anna.

Although he was also very interested in Saine's proposal, he still reminded him, "There are still at least half of the apprentices in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, especially in those resource points. There must be corresponding fortifications and magical restrictions to provide defense, so they may not be easy to deal with."

"What's there to be afraid of? With Saine leading the way, we can just use magic to smash their shells open!" Anna said confidently.
