Daniel suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master, since you are so powerful, what about the Rule Wizard?"
"Rule Wizard? That's something you cannot comprehend. Just know that their abilities can cause changes in the environment even unconsciously, such as storms, barren lands, or shifting mountains and seas.
In our Wizarding World, there is a Spring Sovereign, a Seventh-Level Wizard. It is said that if he does not deliberately restrain himself, even unintentionally, he could make the entire world fall into a perpetual spring, with no seasonal changes."
Daniel was taken aback. A perpetual spring seemed wonderful at first glance, but if it were to last indefinitely, it would be a tremendous disaster for the Wizarding World.
All creatures of winter would either have to adapt to the spring environment or face extinction. The original glaciers would continue to melt due to rising temperatures and eventually disappear, disrupting the balance of the world.
And this was merely an unintentional act of destruction; if he were to act deliberately, what would happen?
After becoming a Formal Wizard, he felt that each of his strikes could possess a power of six or seven hundred degrees, which was already quite formidable. However, compared to them, he felt like an ant beneath their feet.
An unintentional action from them could pose a deadly threat to him.
Natalie and he were still Wizard Apprentices. If they were to encounter Richard, even one of Richard's unintentional actions could kill them.
Thus, Richard certainly would not meet two individuals who were hardly bigger than ants.
Seeing his expression, Richard said lightly, "Good, I'm glad you understand. By the way, you are not a self-broken Formal Wizard. How did your Mental Power reach one hundred points? Did you not burn your Mental Power back then?"
"Master is joking. When I became a Formal Wizard, my Mental Power was burned and compressed, leaving only sixty-seven points. The reason it is so high now is due to my hard work."
Richard's expression suddenly changed. "What? In such a short time, you have already re-cultivated your Mental Power? This won't do; I still expect you to become a Stargazer. For now, you should refrain from further cultivation."
"Why? Isn't it better to have higher Mental Power to become a Stargazer? If you don't have the strength to enter the other world, isn't that just asking for death?"
"You can't think like that. Do you know why Stargazers are only selected from Wizard Apprentices and not from Formal Wizards?"
Daniel shook his head; this was exactly what puzzled him.
As the vanguard of the alliance exploring unknown worlds, Stargazers are responsible for exploring these worlds, seeking Spatial Weaknesses, and guiding the Wizard Legion in their invasion of other realms.
With such significant responsibilities, it stands to reason that the stronger one is, the better.
A Wizard Apprentice is just a Wizard Apprentice; even if they have just graduated, without the accumulation of time, once they become a Formal Wizard, their combat power cannot compare to those who have been Formal Wizards for hundreds of years. Their experience is also incomparable.
However, Stargazers have always been selected from those who have just graduated as Formal Wizards and never seek out elite wizards, which seems somewhat unreasonable.
He couldn't believe that someone who had just become a Formal Wizard could compare with those who had been wizards for hundreds of years.
"That's because to pass through the Spatial Barrier and enter other worlds, it's not about being stronger. The stronger you are, the more likely you are to attract the attention of powerful beings from other worlds and get killed.
Only those who have just entered as Formal Wizards progress quickly and possess great potential but lack sufficient strength, making them less likely to attract attention from otherworldly beings. They are the best candidates.
If you continue to progress like this, I won't allow you to become a Stargazer. It would be detrimental to you and could easily lead to being discovered and killed by powerful beings from other realms."
Daniel was stunned, not expecting that rapid improvement in strength could have drawbacks. He frowned and said, "What should I do? Shouldn't I hurry to the other world? Otherwise, even if I don't practice, my strength will still slowly increase."
Richard's expression changed, becoming serious. "How could this happen? What is your affinity? Spirit Beast Bloodline or Devourer Affinity?"
Daniel shook his head with a bitter smile. "Neither. I'm using the twenty-fourth Meditation Rune for meditation."
Richard then recalled that the ability to grow one's strength independently was not limited to affinities or bloodlines; it also included the Meditation Rune.
It was understandable that his first reaction was to think of affinities or bloodlines because the twenty-fourth Meditation Rune, although something used only during the apprentice period, was coveted even by Formal Wizards for its effects.
The twenty-fourth Meditation Rune is extremely difficult to master. Even among all the Wizard Apprentices in the entire Wizard Alliance, having one or two people who could master it would be considered good; sometimes there might not even be a single person who had mastered it.
He never expected that Daniel would have mastered the twenty-fourth Meditation Rune.
The twenty-fourth Meditation Rune is the hardest and most powerful of all Meditation Runes for Wizard Apprentices.
Difficulty represents rarity, while power signifies excellence.
What is enticing is that as long as one masters the twenty-fourth Meditation Rune, even without deliberate practice, their own Mental Power will attract fragments of rules, causing their abilities to grow slowly.
He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "In that case, you indeed need to undergo the trial of the Stargazer in a shorter time. I originally planned to keep you by my side for decades and teach you everything you should know.
Since that's the case, how about this: I'll give you a list. You can look at what you want to learn and tell me, and then I will teach you the knowledge so you can study it yourself after going to the other world."
With the words, Richard handed him a crystal ball for reference.
But Daniel did not go down; instead, he rubbed his hands together and grinned, "Master, seeing as I am such a talented apprentice under your name, shouldn't you give me some discounts or rewards?"
Richard laughed heartily. "Hahaha, you really are eager for money. Don't worry, my promise won't change. Based on your performance during the Talent Wizard Championship, I'll directly give you 300,000 Magic Stones. How about that?"
"Really? Thank you, Master."
Daniel could hardly believe it and repeatedly expressed his gratitude. He had heard that his senior, Cleveland, received one million Magic Stones from Richard just to take him as an apprentice.
At that time, Daniel was envious; he fought hard for the academy and even used the Wizard Tower as a powerful tool, which earned him a reward of 150,000 Magic Stones.
That was already a significant amount. To gather this reward, the academy even mixed in many precious materials and Magical Items, showing that they had spent quite a price to offer this reward.
Cleveland received one million Magic Stones just for being someone else's apprentice, which was indeed a lot.
But here he was receiving 300,000 Magic Stones—three times what Cleveland got. Even if he became a Formal Wizard, earning so many Magic Stones would come at a considerable cost.
However, Richard easily handed it to him, making Daniel feel like he had suddenly become wealthy—he probably wouldn't be able to spend it all in hundreds of years.
At the same time, it proved his own value; it wasn't easy for an ordinary apprentice to find a mentor. Even if they sought someone out, they might not agree. Most could only spend Magic Stones to exchange for knowledge and figure things out on their own without guidance.
Yet Richard found him and signed a contract, spending 300,000 Magic Stones to take him as his apprentice—this treatment was entirely different.
The excitement, however, did not last long. When Daniel held the crystal ball and looked inside, his expression suddenly became strange.
"Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water Elements, Fusion Usage Insights. Price: Fifteen Million Magic Stones."
"Insights on the Use of Fire Element. Note: From Wizard Apprentice to Third-Rank Archmage, Price: Ten Million Magic Stones."
"Insights on the Use of Water Element. Note: From Wizard Apprentice to Third-Rank Archmage, Price: Ten Million Magic Stones."
"Alchemical Essentials. Price: Four Million Magic Stones."
"Mechanical Essentials. Price: One Million Magic Stones."
...
He initially thought that even if Richard wanted to earn three million Magic Stones, it wouldn't be easy. But looking at the prices of this knowledge, any one of them could easily make a profit.
Richard laughed and said, "How is it? Are you shocked? For us wizards, knowledge is priceless. These are the prices I set when selling; even so, there are still many buyers. As my apprentice, I can offer you a discount of 90%. You can purchase any of this knowledge at that price."
Daniel finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to pay those prices, he wouldn't be able to learn much at all.
Even with a 90% discount, Daniel found it hard to bear and could only choose the most important things to learn.
"Thank you, Master. I will think carefully about what I want to learn after I go back."
Richard nodded and let him out.
"How is it? How is it? What is the Third-Rank Archmage like? Is he very strong?"
As soon as he came out, Natalie chased after him, her gossiping demeanor something Daniel had never seen before.
"Yes, very strong," Daniel said, unable to tell her that she didn't even have the qualifications to meet the Third-Rank Archmage, so he gave a vague response.
Fortunately, Natalie didn't press further. She shot him a glare and hesitated for a moment. "I discussed it with Elisa and decided to go back and work hard on my training, striving to be promoted to Formal Wizard as soon as possible. So I want to separate from you for a while."
"Alright, becoming a Formal Wizard is more important."
"Otherwise, with the gap between a Formal Wizard and a Wizard Apprentice, I wouldn't dare to get too close to you."
Elisa shot him a fierce glare, but Daniel was indeed stating a fact; the gap between the two was too large. In Daniel's eyes, although both were beautiful, they resembled porcelain dolls—fragile and easily broken if not handled carefully.
This was also the reason why the three of them had established their relationship but had never slept together. It was likely that Daniel could inadvertently cause them harm.
