Anna walked over, followed by a line of people, all freshmen from the same Wizard Ship.

A brilliant smile hung on her face as she chatted and laughed with the freshmen around her. She really had changed a great deal.

"Wang Ya, Lady Anna has made contact with Moxi of the Bailin Family. That's one of the strongest Three Great Wizard Families in Ancient Forest Wizard City.

"After all, we're all from the same ship. Lady Anna thought she should invite you to join as well. You'll be able to gain some information circulated within the wizard families."

A Wizard Freshman took the initiative to step forward and explain, wearing an expression that said Wang Ya had struck it rich.

"This information will be enormously helpful for your upcoming wizard life on Ancient Forest Mountain. It can save you from taking a lot of crooked roads."

It was as if she truly were thinking on behalf of all the freshmen on the entire Wizard Ship.

Anna continued, "My plan is to invite all the freshmen from the ship, and you're no exception. Six months is a very difficult time frame to complete the Supernatural Nurturing witchcraft, but Moxi and most of the other wizard-family freshmen have chosen Supernatural Nurturing witchcraft. Their Nurtured Creatures are growing very quickly. If we ask them at the evening party, perhaps we can reap a considerable harvest."

"Wang Ya, what are you still standing there like a block of wood for? Hurry up and agree. Lady Anna is thinking of old ties; whenever there's something good, she thinks of us."

The freshman who had spoken earlier looked excitedly at the figure with red hair. He looked exactly like a dog that had received benefits and was wagging its tail, whining softly.

Anna did not think Wang Ya would refuse her proposal.

Two days was enough to recognize the gap between oneself and the other Wizard Freshmen. The Wizard Ship was only a small place. There were many ordinary people there, so they thought they also had a chance to succeed.

Ancient Forest Mountain was an even larger place, and there were far too many outstanding people. Every freshman from the wizard city and wizard families, supported by the resources behind them, far surpassed ordinary freshmen and had a greater chance of entering the wizard academy.

Anna felt the pressure, and she had also found her goal.

She was confident that no one would refuse her, but she wanted more, and she was more ambitious.

The first thing she had to do was increase her own foundation and possess the influence to involve herself in it. If the freshmen of the entire Wizard Ship attended the evening party under her lead, then she would indirectly become the leader of this side.

Without any doubt, she would become the focus and center of the evening party.

Wang Ya's gaze was extremely calm. There was not even the slightest ripple.

"I refuse." He said it very simply. When he left, he did not drag his feet at all, leaving everyone present with a free and unrestrained back.

Anna froze.

Astonishment appeared in the eyes of the others.

He had actually refused? Did he not know this only had benefits and no drawbacks?

With inside information, how many crooked roads would they avoid?

"Lady Anna, I told you this kind of guy who wasn't on the same road as us even on the ship could never be on the same road as us once we reached Ancient Forest Mountain."

The Wizard Freshman who had spoken earlier seemed somewhat angry.

The other freshmen also chimed in one after another, expressing slight dissatisfaction.

"All right, Lafayette, there's no need to say that. We're all people from the same ship."

Anna spoke. The expression on her face did not change much either, still carrying a smile.

She continued, "Each person has their own aspirations. I fought for this opportunity for everyone. If someone doesn't want it, I can't stuff it into their hands."

"That guy will definitely regret it. Absolutely. He has no idea what he's missed." Lafayette clenched his right hand.

Anna shook her head. He was merely a person without a goal. A freshman like that would not pass Ancient Forest Mountain's assessment.

He simply had not yet experienced the differences between different places.

By contrast, she had seen more, experienced more, and also deeply understood that while having aptitude, one also had to possess other things.

Wang Ya was very clear about his own goal: Make up for his shortcomings and build a solid supernatural foundation.

After that, he would pass the assessment and enter the true Umbral Wizard Academy.

Apart from that, nothing had any meaning, and he absolutely would not waste time on it.

Walking along the cobblestone path, he had already thought through his next plan in his mind.

Suddenly, a burst of sound rang out. Several monkey-like creatures were climbing in the trees on the left, watching him. Their fur was blue, their pupils azure, and they carried a trace of curiosity.

Fine flecks of Blue Sheen flashed through his pupils.

They were not Supernatural Lifeforms, but they carried a bit of Supernatural Property.

That made sense. Although the cobblestone path had been refined by a wizard array and had a certain protective and repelling effect, it might not necessarily be able to stop true Supernatural Lifeforms, which would pose too great a threat to freshmen.

Perhaps within the Deep Ancient Forest, where particle energy was even denser, there existed a natural world of Supernatural Lifeforms.

A quarter of an hour later, his Wizard Robe was slightly disheveled. The "Blue Poison Monkey" he held by the back of the neck had already fainted, and there was one in each hand.

The corner of Wang Ya's mouth curved upward. This was very good Experimental Material, wasn't it? When studying Basic Supernatural Knowledge, it could serve perfectly as a verification tool.

Inside the Fingernails of the "Blue Poison Monkey" were venom-secreting glands. When it fought other wild beasts and creatures, venom would coat its sharp Fingernails, weakening them and causing their blood to congeal.

As for how he had captured this Blue Poison Monkey—beneath its seemingly soft, cute appearance was hidden a greedy heart for wizard flesh and blood, and its temperament was extremely vile.

The moment he stepped off the cobblestone path and took two steps toward the ancient forest, it pounced over like a mad dog.

The "Scarlet Heat" witchcraft was a spell that acted on oneself, stimulating the body's Flesh and Blood Cells through Fire Element Particle Energy and activating them to a certain degree.

During this period, his all-around physical qualities received amplification and improvement.

As long as it was not a severed arm, severed leg, or a large-scale wound, it could heal rapidly.

It would also develop a certain immunity to toxins and be able to expel them from the body.

What was worth mentioning was that when Wang Ya released Fire Element Particle Energy Wizardry, the effect was not poor at all.

Immune to toxins and with his constitution amplified, while the Blue Poison Monkey's physical strength was not outstanding, the result was naturally that Wang Ya knocked it unconscious and captured it alive.

The cobblestone path had been refined with a wizard array, and the new students' residences were naturally no exception.

Within thirty meters around the building, there was a Defense Wizard Array that produced a mist that misled perception.

Once one's strength reached that of a First-level Wizard Apprentice, the mist could no longer take effect.

When Spiritual Power left a brand in the array's core, it would automatically activate when the new student was not at the residence.

Wang Ya released his Spiritual Power, and the mist before him gradually parted to both sides, revealing a passage leading inside.

Another reason for capturing the Blue Poison Monkey was to study the differences between its Supernatural Toxin and the Scarlet Scale Toxin.

Sometimes Wang Ya had to admit that Supernatural Toxins were very useful and could play a crucial role.
