Sylutia followed behind. Watching Adqin handle the situation in front of him, it can be seen that he is very strong. The power of Winter Slumber displayed in an instant was comparable to Iona who exploded at full strength.

If Iona and Adqin were to fight, they would probably lose in a few minutes.

Is this the real genius who went to Secret Forest? The girl's fingers gently entwined her hair, creating a faint desire to catch up, and she had to work harder.

But this is just her idea. From the perspective of Scholar Heide and Lady Falan, this girl's talent is astonishing. It must be understood that Iona has been exposed to various occult knowledge since childhood and studied at the Royal Academy for nearly four years before reaching the level of strength. However, this girl started from scratch and completely caught up in just 4-5 months. This does not include the extra time she spent on retraining.

In the field ahead, Adqin pulled out the long sword with gold patterns on a black background from his waist, and with a few simple moves, he subdued the three tall Lizardman. The invisible cold air froze, making the three Lizardman who were arrogant and domineering just now shivering with cold.

Even though both sides are First Order, the difference in strength is too significant.

"As expected of senior Adqin."

"Adqin senior, so strong."

Several people on the side sighed with emotion, and then some unfamiliar people gradually inquired and learned the name of this noble young man in blue.

Adqin (Winter Slumber), badge owner, No. 16 on the third floor.

"Another person with first-level talent." Someone whispered.

"Are there so many geniuses in this class?"

"Listening to their summary, there are now a total of 6 students with level one talent and 11 students with level 2 talent, all living on the upper three floors."

"Oh, is there anyone who specializes in statistics?" Someone was curious.

"Of course, there are still people selling information. If you know in advance which students have talents and build a good relationship with them, you will have good support at the Woodland in the future."

"So this Adqin, where does he rank in terms of strength?"

"I haven't played, so who knows, but after listening to their discussions, Adqin should be among the top six students in this class. After all, several other students with first-level talents are not bad either."

"Is there a big difference between level one talent and level two talent?"

"This is the standard summarized by Secret Forest based on hundreds of years of training experience. Students with level one talent can enter level two in almost two years, those with level two may need three years, and those with level four-five will need five years."

"If you are a student with talent levels six to seven, it will take about eight to ten years."

"Ten years, that means you are already about twenty-seven years old."

"Yes, if you enter the second level at the age of twenty-seven, you will definitely be an outstanding talent to the outside world, but you are nothing in Secret Forest."

Sylutia listened to the various whispers in her ears. Although it was very noisy, she could clearly distinguish and remember it.

I didn't expect that there is such a classification of talent levels. Is it a judgment system that Secret Forest himself summed up?

After Adqin gave a few Lizardman a lesson, he helped the student get back "Snake Blood Orb" and then let them leave.

Returning to Sylutia, Adqin straightened his clothes and then said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, let's continue."

Then he led Sylutia away from the crowd, continued the tour on this level, and explained what happened just now.

"I boarded Camel Tower three months ago. After a while, the teacher accompanying me asked me if I would like to take up the position of maintaining order among the students."

"If you are willing, you can give me 200 points when you arrive at the Woodland. This is a pretty generous reward."

"Then what's the use of points?" Sylutia quickly thought of the various patterns he had seen in his previous life.

"It has many uses, but the most common one is that it can be redeemed for some courses."

"You should also understand that many abilities cannot be learned through oral instruction and written description alone. They need someone to demonstrate or guide them personally."

"For example, the most common Breathing Technique, the rhythm of the body's blood cannot be described verbally at all. It can only be guided by the instructor, so that others can slowly understand it and learn it later."

"First Order and below, an ordinary occult ability course costs about 50 points, and a complex occult ability course costs 100 points."

"In addition, points can be exchanged for some supplies, such as incense for meditation, blood wine for breathing exercises, tea for recovery, etc."

"Can the points be bought with money?" the girl was curious.

"You can't buy it with money, but you can buy it indirectly." Adqin had a playful look on his face.

"For example, you are originally assigned a task to complete, and you will be rewarded with points after the completion, but if you don't do it yourself, you spend money to find someone to complete it, and finally hand over the task yourself. This is also a way."

"Don't teachers care about such behavior?"

"No matter, because some students from poor backgrounds really need money. Since someone is willing to spend a lot of money to do this, let him spend the money."

"Generally speaking, the exchange ratio between 1 point and gold coins is about 1:2, that is, 50 points can be exchanged for 100 gold coins."

"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that it costs 100 gold coins to learn a course? Is it so expensive?" Sylutia was surprised.

"This is the exchange ratio. If you switch to a student to do the task, you can get about 20 points in a month, and you can learn a course in three months. In fact, it doesn't cost much." Adqin explained.

The same is true for teacher Heide. He will only teach each student a special secret technique. Sylutia chose the formulas of "Dew Prayer Technique" and Emerald Pupil Potion, and Comia chose "Meditation Technique" and "Illusion Spell Eye". This is the content taught in the half-year course.

But even so, many people are still unable to learn it, and less than half of the students can actually complete learning new abilities in half a year.

After understanding the importance of points, Sylutia chatted with Adqin about the Woodland's situation, wondering how the other party knew about it.

"Of course, seniors who have been there before told me this." Adqin was puzzled. Didn't anyone tell the girl in front of her?

Lady Falan did not grow up in the Woodland, nor did Scholar Heide. Although they know the general situation, they do not understand many details. Scorched Stone City is a small place after all. If there are talents who do grow up, most of them will go to prosperous places to develop and will not stay in the local area.

It seems that Scorched Stone City, where she was born, is still very poorly informed. The girl rubbed her hair and felt that she needed to communicate with more people during this period to avoid missing information.

In the afternoon, Adqin took Sylutia to get familiar with the entire Camel Tower, and then they parted ways.

"My current room is No. 16 on the third floor. If you are free, you can come and visit. However, I usually only stay in the room steadily on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. I may go out at other times."

"If you want to make friends with other people, it's best to set a stable time in the room, otherwise it will be difficult for others to find you."

"I understand, thank you, senior." Adqin looks about eighteen years old, and indeed looks much more mature than Sylutia.

Then the two separated, and Sylutia returned to room No. 22 where he lived.

After walking all afternoon, she was a little tired, so she lay on the bed and took a nap. After dinner at the restaurant at six o'clock in the evening, she arrived at the time she had agreed with Florella.

It's time, Sylutia picked up the glass bottle containing "Fireglow Orchid Flower", then walked to the corridor on the same floor to find the room where Florella lived.
