When a Holy Tower Master takes on a disciple, he will actually ask for the disciple's opinion first.

It's unclear whether the Azure Source Holy Tower Master was simply too easygoing, or if she genuinely thought highly of Saine and was willing to respect Saine own opinions.

Having a great fourth-level tower master as a mentor is an unimaginable privilege for most magic apprentices, and even for Formal Magician.

Almost no one would refuse.

Saine was also very interested.

However, before agreeing to the request of the Azure Source Holy Tower Master, Saine hesitated for a moment and said, "I actually had a mentor before this."

"Of course you have a mentor. Without an outstanding, Formal Magician as your guide, you could not have achieved such success in the fields of light and fire magic and alchemy," the Azure Source Holy Tower Master laughed.

"While I do believe that there are geniuses in this world, or even so-called ' Child of the Planes,' I don't believe that anyone can be born with knowledge and naturally possess so much elemental knowledge."

The answer from the Azure Source Holy Tower Master left Saine speechless for a moment.

He didn't know how to introduce his background. Should he tell the tower master that he had a Black Magician as his mentor and that he was once a Black Wizard Apprentice?

Seemingly understanding the reason for Saine's silence, the Azure Source Holy Tower Master smiled and said, "Regarding your origins and background... the Secret Language Holy Tower Master actually told me some things."

"The Secret Language Holy Tower Master is a Level-4 Magician with extremely high achievements in the fields of Mystic System, Astrology Element, and Sound Wave System."

"Your background means nothing to me."

"Moreover, since you have already gained the approval of the Summer Guardian and obtained that precious Light of the Planes, you have received a wisp of protection from the will of the Wizard World Plane Will."

"Everything that happened in the past is even less worth mentioning," said the Azure Source Holy Tower Master.

The tower master's words finally put Saine's mind at ease.

In Saine's view, relying on the strong was nothing shameful.

Furthermore, studying under a renowned master will help Saine explore higher levels of Truth Mysteries in the future, and ultimately reach the ultimate limit of Element Power.

Saine bowed deeply to the Azure Source Holy Tower Master and respectfully called out, "Mentor!"

Although the Regional Academy War has ended, the turmoil and impact caused by this apprenticeship trial will not dissipate, at least not in the short term.

The remarkable achievements of this Academy War are so significant that its influence is estimated to last for centuries.

This has inspired subsequent generations of students at the Azure Source Holy Tower to break through their limits and achieve outstanding results.

In this Academy War, three of the top ten apprentices on the leaderboard are from the Azure Source Holy Tower. Among them, Saine won first place, becoming the most sought-after Peak Apprentice in the academy, which was sung by thousands of apprentices in the Azure Source Holy Tower. →

Furthermore, the myth created by Saine will likely serve as a positive example, passed down by the academy's mentors and the three deans to subsequent generations of new students.

Apart from the fact that the top ten spots were occupied by the Azure Source Holy Tower, Anna, the top apprentice who had already been eliminated, also achieved a good result of 19th place on the apprentice list with her remaining points.

In this Regional Holy Tower Academy War, Azure Source Holy Tower has won a tremendous victory.

The only regrettable thing is that in terms of the total academy points, the Azure Source Holy Tower still lost to the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, ranking second among the five Holy Tower.

For the Azure Source Holy Tower, jumping from fifth to second place is an unimaginable leap forward.

This is thanks to the emergence of two Peak Apprentice, Saine and Green.

The academy that occupied the fifth position, which was originally the most awkward position in the Azure Source Holy Tower, is the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Academy.

This year's Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Academy has been incredibly unlucky.

Fortunately, there was also a top apprentice, Boboli, who secured a place in the top ten.

Otherwise, the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower would lose even more face.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from the fact that Saine, as the top-ranked Peak Apprentice on the leaderboard, was accepted as a disciple by the great Azure Source Holy Tower Master, which became a topic of great interest among all the apprentices and Formal Magician in the academy, there was also...

Another Peak Apprentice, Green, was taken in as a disciple by Archimedes, a highly respected Third-Level Great Magician and dean of the academy.

The legend of these two Peak Apprentice will influence generations of apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower for hundreds of years to come.

Meanwhile, amidst the endless praise and attention, Saine himself quietly returned to his Apprentice Dormitory and once again embarked on his pursuit of Truth and the Arcane Truth of magic.

"Hiss... This Shadow Creature didn't..."

Did it die, or did it split into hundreds of fragments?

At the Laboratory Table, holding a Surgical Knife and leaning against an Element Microscope, Saine observed the writhing black fragments before him and muttered to himself.

This powerful Element Microscope was a high-precision experimental tool that Saine purchased from the Holy Tower shortly after the Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

In the past, to avoid flaunting his wealth, Saine rarely purchased such high-grade experimental tools that were only used by Formal-Ranked Magician.

However, since the Regional Holy Tower Academy War ended, Saine, who gained a huge amount of points and Spoils of War, has stopped paying attention to this matter.

According to the points redemption plan announced by the deans and mentors before the Regional Academy War.

One point can be exchanged for a Intermediate Energy Crystal, and ten points can be exchanged for a High-Level Energy Crystal.

So, the huge sum of over 220,000 points that Saine possessed brought him a profit of over 20,000 High-Level Energy Crystal.

Converted to Magic Coin, this amounts to more than 20,000 Magic Coin.

(P. S.: The exchange rate between Magic Coin and High-Level Energy Crystal is generally maintained at 1:1.)

More than 20,000 Magic Coin... This is a huge sum of money, not to mention for Level-1 Magician, even for Second-Level Magician.

In other words, even if Saine did not inherit his mentor Moxidu's legacy, nor did he have those twenty-odd Level-2 Energy Crystal, the mere twenty thousand Magic Coin would be enough for him to use all the resources he needed to advance to the Second-Level Magician.

Not to mention, as the top-ranked player on the Regional Holy Tower Academy War points leaderboard, Saine can also receive an additional ranking reward from the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy.

In short, Saine has gained Dodo in all aspects from this Regional Academy War.

As the first Personal Disciple accepted by the Azure Source Holy Tower Master, Saine should have received a rather impressive master-disciple gift, right?

The Strong Acid Scepter staff, a gift from Mentor Moxidu to Saine, helped Saine deal with many crises and saved his life.

I wonder what the Tower Master will ultimately choose to give to Saine.

Moreover, it is unknown which magical path the Tower Master's lineage is studying.
