Chapter 193: Chapter 111: A Level 2 Wizard’s Greeting Gift, Precious Soul Spirit Water

Information about the additional rewards flooded Mo Ning’s mind like a torrent.

[Additional Reward 1: The squad you led killed 8 dangerous Spiritual Creatures, such as the Giant Helmet Fish and Muddy Worm, as well as 38 common Spiritual Creatures. Based on your calculated merits, you will receive an additional 300 Black Tower Points.]

[The corresponding reward has been transferred to your Guiding Ring account. Current balance: 2229 Black Tower Points.]

After bombing the troop of Hard-skinned Monkeys with his Triangular Wing, Mo Ning had led his squad out several more times, racking up a considerable number of kills.

He mentally calculated that he and his teammates had cleared out nearly all the monsters around the camp. ’A reward of 300 Black Tower Points really isn’t that much.’

[Additional Reward 2: You have gained borrowing permission for the following books.]

["The Art of Witchcraft Puppetry—Basic Puppet Design Introduction" (in three volumes), and "Multiple Secret Techniques and Divination Design Methods for Flying Puppets—Ruling the Skies with the Power of Divination" (in two volumes).]

[Please use Dawa’s Grocery List to enter the Mirror Library for borrowing.]

Mo Ning was taken aback.

The second reward far exceeded his expectations.

He was both amused and pleasantly surprised.

He was amused because he had only built the Triangular Wing on a whim during the assessment. He’d used the membrane and bones of a Fog Bat to cobble it together in under an hour, yet the academy had taken it as proof that he "had a certain talent for puppetry" and specially granted him permission to borrow these books.

He was surprised because these books were extremely valuable.

He had noticed while browsing the Mirror Library that the borrowing fee for each of the three introductory volumes of "The Art of Witchcraft Puppetry" was a steep 200 Black Tower Points.

Adding the two treatises on Flying Puppets, this reward alone was likely worth more than 1,000 Black Tower Points.

’This is a massive reward!’

He possessed the [Eye of Truth], so his ability to absorb and comprehend knowledge far surpassed that of an ordinary Apprentice. He could never have too many books.

What’s more, this assessment had demonstrated the value of knowledge in vivid detail.

If he hadn’t borrowed "Low-Cycle Divination Introduction," he wouldn’t have been able to unlock the Sanctuary hidden in the stone pillar;

if he hadn’t borrowed "Research on the Original Soul Seal of the Phantom Carving," he never would have been able to use that flash of Spiritual Light to construct a powerful Soul Witchcraft.

[Additional Reward 3: You have received five bottles of "Basic Thunder Secret Potion." This Magic Potion significantly enhances the power of Thunder Magic and is only effective on Level Zero Witchcraft.]

[Quality Assessment: Excellent. Experimental comparisons show this Magic Potion is 34.2% more effective than a standard Thunder Secret Potion and grants the Witchcraft a minor soul-damaging effect.]

Mo Ning was even more delighted.

’High-quality Magic Potions again, and five bottles at once.’

The "minor soul-damaging effect"—that attribute alone was enough to make the Magic Potion’s value skyrocket.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the academy must have known he had comprehended the Phantom Carving’s Original Soul Seal. That was why they had given him such a tailor-made reward.

A realization dawned on Mo Ning. ’In front of the academy, there’s no need to be secretive about everything. The more open I am, the more benefits I’ll receive.’

[Additional Reward 4: You have received the Witchcraft Item "Blast Flame Bracelet."]

[Effect: When activated, releases a powerful Blast Flame Fireball, dealing massive fire damage to the target and surrounding area.]

[Requirements: 1 point of Spiritual Strength, 5 points of Magic Pool Capacity.]

[Quality: Excellent (Uses: 213).]

[The related Magic Potions and Witchcraft Items will be delivered to the safe in your apartment within five minutes. Please check for their arrival.]

Mo Ning found it difficult to suppress his smile.

’This thing is great!’

The Blast Flame Fireball Technique was a Level Zero Witchcraft that only Second Level Apprentices could master. It required at least 15 points of Spiritual Strength and was renowned for its power.

Although the item required 1 point of Spiritual Strength and a Magic Pool to activate, at his current rate of progress, it wouldn’t be long before he could form his first Spirit Ring.

It was common knowledge that all items capable of casting Witchcraft had a limited number of uses.

With each use, the Spiritual Power within the item would diminish.

Typically, items capable of casting Level Zero Witchcraft would become unusable after 50 to 100 uses, as their Spiritual Power would drop below a certain threshold.

Yet this bracelet could be used 213 times. No wonder it was rated as Excellent Quality.

Mo Ning suppressed his elation and glanced over at Anya and Reina.

From the irrepressible smiles on their faces, he instantly guessed they must have received "Outstanding" evaluations and reaped rewards far beyond their expectations.

He then turned to look at the crowd. Seeing the faces filled with envy and shock, he knew he had truly made a name for himself this time.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was someone who preferred to keep a low profile and still felt a bit uneasy with the attention.

Anya said in a low voice, "There’s too much. I’ll spend some Black Tower Points and use the Guiding Ring to hire a few Puppets to help us move it."

The spoils they had acquired this time were far over the limit. Mo Ning had only applied to exceed the limit on a whim, just to see what would happen.

He never expected the academy to approve the application outright, which led to the massive pile of spoils that had stunned the entire hall.

This was clearly the "privilege" of a genius.

"Mm." Mo Ning nodded lightly.

Hiring a Puppet for a single job cost at least 1 Black Tower Point, something most new apprentices couldn’t bear to spend. But right now, their squad was not short on funds.

Just then.

A sudden, bizarre change occurred.

WHOOSH—

A vast expanse of pale flames erupted without warning in the spacious hall.
