When Saine stepped out of the secret chamber, he did not see his mentor Luluman, outside. →

Unlike Saine, who had just broken through to the next level, Sion felt a different kind of joy and excitement.

Mentor Luluman was probably already used to seeing first-level Mage, so she didn't show up to share her joy with Saine.

Of course, it's also possible that Saine possesses the Light of the Planes, making it a sure thing for him to break through to the level of Level-1 Magician, so Luluman doesn't need to worry about it too much.

As a Level-4 Magician, it would be laughable if his disciples couldn't even break through to the first level.

Above the 700th floor of the Holy Tower, almost all of it is the territory of Mentor Luluman.

There are nearly a hundred floors, and I have no idea which floor and which lab my supervisor is in right now.

By the way, Luluman once mentioned that she wanted Saine to move to the top floor of the Holy Tower, which actually meant that she planned to allocate floors 700 to 720 to Saine.

As for whether Saine could utilize so many floors and internal magical facilities, Luluman didn't care.

Anyway, up to now, she only has one disciple, Saine.

Those Holy Tower facilities are free for Saine to use.

Living alone on the top floor of the Holy Tower can be quite boring sometimes. Maybe if Saine moves in, he can help relieve her boredom.

Looking around, I couldn't find my mentor anywhere.

Without deliberately calling out to the other party, Saine left a Magic Note Saine flew towards the outside of the Holy Tower.

Saine knew that Mage were most afraid of being disturbed when conducting experiments.

Perhaps the mentor is currently conducting some important magical experiment.

Only Formal-Ranked Magician have the authority to fly within the Azure Source Holy Tower Holy Tower.

Saine has only recently broken through, yet he's already enjoying the benefits.

Of course, in addition to flight, the Azure Source Holy Tower also offers many benefits and advantages to all newly promoted Mage have broken through to the next level.

Not only can you apply for a special residence within the Holy Tower, but you can also receive a substantial amount of Magic Coin every year.

This move is intended to enhance the cohesion and sense of belonging among all Formal-Ranked Magician in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Saine can move directly to his mentor Luluman's place, so there's no need for him to apply for a separate residence.

As for the Magic Coin benefits and the various rewards for breaking through to the next level, Saine was not in a hurry to claim them.

He is now wealthy enough that he no longer needs to worry about the basic benefits that the Azure Source Holy Tower distributes to all Formal Magician.

Furthermore, the Azure Source Holy Tower probably won't embezzle the benefits for the Tower Master's disciples.

Perhaps when Saine returns, these benefits and rewards will have already been delivered to his doorstep.

Saine

His destination at this moment was his residence in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

I have been studying at the Azure Source Holy Tower for almost thirteen years now.

In another six months or so, Saine will once again follow his mentor to the Azure Flame Holy Tower, and it is unknown how long this trip will take.

Saine felt he needed to go home and visit.

After all, he bore the surname Grant, and his father, Earl Grant, had fulfilled certain responsibilities as a father to him.

Moreover, Saine's promotion to the next level is a significant family event worth celebrating for the Grant Family, and it is necessary to go back and inform them.

Along with Saine, her Cousin Serena also returned to the Lisia Alliance at the same time.

Serena has been at the Azure Source Holy Tower for several years now, so it's good for her to go back and visit with Saine this time.

As Saine flew over the Sky of the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, he was spotted by Daniel, Quasi-Magician walking among the trees within the academy.

In any case, Saine and Daniel had fought side by side and had developed a certain bond.

Saine also saw Daniel and landed in front of him.

"Saine, you've already broken through and advanced to become Formal Magician?" Daniel's expression was filled with undisguised shock.

Saine's expression remained calm as always. Although he was also very happy inside, he would not easily show it under normal circumstances.

"Hmm." Saine nodded in response.

The shock in his expression gradually gave way to a complex look.

Daniel then sighed and said, "As expected of Peak Apprentice who was taken in by the Tower Master, your growth rate has simply exceeded the imagination of us ordinary apprentices."

"Although my Mental Strength reached the Critical Point value of 93 points two years ago."

"But to break through this final hurdle, it will probably take ten to fifteen years of accumulation and preparation," Daniel said, shaking his head.

For magic apprentices, the range between 90 points of Mental Strength and the standard 100 points of Mental Strength for Formal Magician is also known as the Critical Point value.

During the Regional Academy War, the top apprentices of the various Holy Tower were roughly at this level.

What Daniel said is true.

Even with the numerous auxiliary potions awarded by the academy to help him break through, it would still take at least ten years before he could hope to reach the first level.

Even for Peak Apprentice like Gade and Green, it takes about five years of adjustment and preparation.

In Saine, if the Light of the Planes hadn't been infused into his body, it would have taken him several years to prepare and make a final push after the Regional Academy War.

Reaching the level of Formal Magician is not an easy feat.

This is a leap in the Life Essence, an increase in lifespan from a hundred years to nearly a thousand years.

A qualitative leap forward.

Only when he reached the level of Level-1 Magician could Saine be considered to have truly embarked on the path of Truth Exploration.

Before level one, he was essentially a babbling infant.

Saine didn't say anything about Daniel's remark.

He wasn't a particularly good Mage, and he and Daniel didn't seem to be at that level.

If it were Lina in front of him, perhaps Saine would offer some gentle words of advice and encourage her to keep working hard and strive to advance to the next level as soon as possible.

Speaking of Lina... Saine had long planned to go to the Western Islands to find her after advancing one level.

It is unknown whether Saine will have time to visit the Western Islands after visiting the ancestor of the Azure Flame Holy Tower.

The encounter with Daniel was merely a minor incident during Saine's flight through the inner courtyard.

Daniel could tell that Saine seemed to be busy, so after a brief chat, he respectfully performed the monk's salute and watched Saine leave.

Since Saine became Formal Magician, the gap between Saine and Daniel in terms of status, strength, and so on has widened.

Watching Saine's departing figure, Daniel couldn't help but grip his Magic Staff tighter.

"I need to work even harder," Daniel muttered to himself.

When Saine returned to his residence, his Cousin Serena, who had received a message from Saine Crystal Ball beforehand, had already prepared everything.

The two could set off immediately, and some of the things they wanted to bring back had already been stored in their Space Ring.

"By the way, cousin, during the months you were in seclusion in the Holy Tower, a letter came from the Lisia Alliance. It was from your uncle," Saine said.

Saine looked slightly surprised as he took the letter from Serena, which bore the Grant Family crest.

If it were a personal letter, Earl Grant wouldn't have been so formal.

He casually opened the letter, and what Earl Grant said inside did indeed cause a slight change in Saine's expression.

"Have the two Old Ancestor of the family returned?"

"One of them is a powerful Level-2 Earth Knight," Saine said, looking at the letter in his hand.

In the letter, Earl Grant also suggested that Saine take some time to return to the family soon.

It seems that the two Old Ancestor were very interested in Saine, who had entered the Azure Source Holy Tower to study.

When Saine last sent a letter home, he also informed Earl Grant that he had been promoted to Quasi-Magician.

However, due to the two consecutive Regional Academy War and the fact that he had been busy with breakthroughs and advancements for the past six months, Saine had not written back home for more than two years.

Fold the letter after you've finished reading it.

Saine said to Serena, who was standing in front of him, "Let's go."
