Upon hearing the word "devour,"
Zheng Qing immediately began to calm down from his initial excitement.
Without a doubt, the "unconventional" method Old Yao had recommended carried a distinctly demonic flavor. It was absolutely not something sanctioned by The Alliance or acceptable to the school. No wonder he had been so cautious when bringing it up, even setting up an extra shielding barrier.
After calming down,
Zheng Qing gave the Old Demon before him a suspicious look.
"—If advancing to Grand Wizard were this simple, why would there still be so few Grand Wizards in The Alliance or at the school? Don't tell me the school couldn't find a few Small Worlds that happened to be ready for advancement."
As he spoke, his thoughts gradually opened up, and his doubts deepened. "And those great clans and aristocratic families in The Alliance—even have Great Thousand Worlds in their possession. It's impossible that they don't have a few Small Worlds. But as far as I know, in publicity from the Beta Town Post and the like a few years ago, Su Shijun was still hailed as the world's youngest Grand Wizard in nearly a century... I absolutely don't believe those great clans lack the means to produce several younger Grand Wizards... Not to mention those lawless wizards in the Starry Sky or the Withered Land. To become Grand Wizards, they definitely wouldn't mind destroying a dozen or so Small Worlds!"
"This is precisely why The Alliance and the school exist."
Professor Yao removed his pipe from his mouth and lightly tapped the bowl in midair, pointing at the somewhat desolate Small World before them. "—But before explaining that meaning, let's review two magical theories you learned in university: the First Theorem of Magic Power and the Theory of Silence."
