This Regional Holy Tower Academy War has produced more than just two Peak Apprentice.

It's three!

Furthermore, the third Peak Apprentice also came from the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy!

The opponent was Quasi-Magician named Green from the Ice Soul Pool Large Resource Point in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Green is a magic apprentice who has remained unknown since Azure Source Holy Tower.

Judging by the timeline, Green joined the Azure Source Tower earlier than Sain.

However, within the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, his reputation was actually inferior to that of Saine, who had made a fleeting appearance on the Challenge Stage.

He had never been to the Challenge Stage, nor had he ever performed in the academy's classes. In fact, in the eyes of the academy's instructors, Green was an unknown and invisible person.

He was even more low-key and inconspicuous than Saine!

If it weren't for the two waves of apprentice teams from the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, the attack on the Ice Soul Pool resource point would have failed.

If it weren't for Heart of the Earth Gade personally launching the third attack on the Ice Soul Pool resource point...

Green, this unassuming Peak Apprentice, may never make a name for himself in this Academy War.

Hill Woods, a top student of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower and a rare Sound Wave System and Mechanical Element student with the title "Mechanical Sound," was killed by Green's annihilation magic of both ice and fire outside the Ice Soul Pool.

Both "Fire Dragon" Tiger and "Ice Staff" Lucy, top apprentices, were defeated by Green. →

If it weren't for the fact that three top students of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower had stumbled at the Ice Soul Pool, Heart of the Earth Gade probably wouldn't have made a special trip to this Large Resource Point point, located in a very remote area at the southernmost end of the Azure Source Holy Tower's Apprentice Zone, to cause trouble for Green.

Originally, after Heart of the Earth Gade had almost captured all the weak resource points in the entire Azure Source Holy Tower, he had begun to plan to mobilize all his apprentices to besiege and wipe out Saine.

But no one expected that another "Annihilation Power" Green would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Its unique dual-elemental ice and fire magic has exceeded the power expected of ordinary apprentice-level magic.

After Gade personally went to the Ice Soul Pool resource point in the Heart of the Earth and clashed head-on with Green.

This Peak Apprentice of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower had to admit that Green's Annihilation Magic had already reached the strength of a formal magic, and he confirmed the other party's identity Peak Apprentice!

After this battle, Green, the previously unknown apprentice of the Azure Source Holy Tower, became famous throughout the academy.

Two peaks

The birth of the Peak Apprentice has greatly boosted the confidence of the remaining apprentices in the Trial Space of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

The apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower, represented by Daniel and Anna, gradually began their counterattack against the resource points occupied by other Holy Tower in the surrounding area, starting from a defensive posture.

The Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Academy, the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower Academy, and the Secret Language Holy Tower Academy all heard from somewhere that this year's Regional Academy War had produced three Peak Apprentice, two of whom came from the Azure Source Holy Tower.

There may be multiple Peak Apprentice as a stimulus, or it may be because two of the Peak Apprentice come from the Azure Source Holy Tower, which has been ranked at the bottom in previous years.

Therefore, the students of the other three Holy Tower Academy also strived for excellence, frequently launching attacks and taking over various resource points during the final stages of the Regional Academy War.

In terms of the excitement and intensity of the war, the final stage of this Regional Academy War was even more exciting than the earlier and middle stages.

After all, in the early and mid-game, everyone's attention was drawn to Saine and Gade, these two Peak Apprentice.

The later chaotic battles among the apprentices of various academies further highlighted the true nature of Regional Academy War and the original intentions of each Holy Tower in holding this trial.

The Great Earth Academy Holy Tower has suffered the loss of three top apprentices outside the Ice Soul Pool resource point.

Furthermore, there was the destruction and turmoil caused by Saine in the rear of their Apprentice Zone.

During the final period of inter-academy apprentice battles, even though the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower still ranked first in overall strength, it was difficult to maintain the momentum of its initial sweep of resource points.

This Regional Holy Tower Academy War is probably the most exciting trial in nearly a thousand years.

At least in the memory of the Tower Master of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, the scene of three Peak Apprentice being born at the same time seems to have not occurred for almost five thousand years.

"Heh, I think this Regional Academy War should end here."

"If we continue like this, the little ones will suffer greater damage," said the Tower Master of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, looking down at the increasingly chaotic Trial Space.

In fact, this chaotic war situation is most suitable for a lone wolf like Saine, who is quick and ruthless in his actions.

At this point, Saine's points had reached a level that ordinary apprentices could hardly achieve or even look up to.

If this Regional Academy War continues, the final score obtained by Saine will likely shock everyone.

"Hehe, the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower is worried that his position as the number one in this Regional Academy War, which he has held for thousands of years, will be taken away by someone else."

"Is that so?" The Secret Language Holy Tower Master chuckled in an ethereal voice, causing the other Holy Tower Master to smile knowingly.

Summer Guardian also watched the situation below with great interest. There was no doubt who would take first place in the individual points ranking of this year's Regional Academy War.

At this moment, the Light of the Planes wrapped around the fingertips of the Summer Guardian seemed eager to fly into his body.

"No, the purpose of our Academy War is to train and select outstanding apprentices, and it is also the original intention of the Wizard Civilization in promoting this policy in various regions."

"If it causes too much unnecessary fighting, or sows seeds of hatred and hostility in the hearts of these young apprentices, then it will be a loss," the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower said, shaking his head.

"The Great Earth Academy Holy Tower is absolutely right. I think this Regional Academy War should end here."

"I've already spent quite a bit of time Saine's side, so I need to head to the Western Islands as soon as possible," the Summer Guardian said.

The Tower Holy Tower Master naturally obeyed the words of the Summer Guardian.

However, according to the procedure, there is still one last step in the Regional Academy War.

"At the end of each Academy War, the top ten are summoned to a special space and a creature from Alien Plane with the strength of a first-level Life Level is sent out to provide trials."

"This move is to cultivate these apprentices' teamwork skills."

"Ten top apprentices can actually kill a level one alien creature without much difficulty."

"But when Peak Apprentice is born, we will release both, because Peak Apprentice already have the ability to fight against level one creatures on their own."

"This year's Academy War has produced three Peak Apprentice. How many should we send in this time?" said the Secret Language Holy Tower Master.

This usually taciturn Holy Tower Master seems unusually talkative during this Regional Academy War.

"Let's release three. The little guys are tired, there's no need to cause any more damage," said the Holy Tower Master.

"Do you have any special treasures? It would be best to choose some rare Alien Plane creatures, as an additional reward for these little guys."

"If not, I happen to have two from the Void Star Region here..." said the Secret Language Holy Tower Master.

"I have it!" The Azure Source Holy Tower Master, whose face glowed with an unnatural red light, took the initiative to claim it before the Secret Language Holy Tower Master could finish speaking.
