Chapter 913: 285. The Criterion of the Heart_2

Noland Lee nodded again in response.

Erica paused slightly, then voiced her own speculation:

“After these energy balls left the seafloor, they came into contact with the filthy, highly toxic sea water. Instead of dissipating, they split into lightning strands, accurately striking sea monsters, spires, and pirate ships.”

“This is not something a Saint Tier Thunder Wizard can do, Jarvis.

“For one thing, the thunder and lightning spells of a Saint Tier Thunder Wizard would also dissipate in sea water, just at a very slow rate of about 5% per second.

“Secondly, the casting interval of a Saint Tier Thunder Wizard is quite noticeable. For an attack using thousands of high-powered thunder and lightning energy balls against nearly ten thousand sea monsters, a Saint Tier Thunder Wizard might need to prepare for about fifteen minutes before launching the attack.

“But from your description, the interval between the two attacks of that ‘Saint Tier’ Thunder Wizard did not exceed five minutes. This is clearly not the handiwork of a ‘Saint Tier’ wizard.”

A light flashed in Noland Lee’s eyes, as if he had realized something:

“Oh~ I see, Professor. You mean, the wizard who joined the battle could likely be a Star Witch.”

“No, no, no, you misunderstand,” Erica twirled her chin, pondering for a few seconds:

“These matters are the secrets of the Ulnas Circle, and I originally shouldn’t have told you. But what happened to you might have been intentional by a Transcendent Wizard…”

“Transcendent Wizard…” Noland Lee suddenly understood, making as if he had just remembered something of the sort.

In many magic teaching materials, “Transcendent Wizard” appears very infrequently, usually glossed over in just two or three lines.

Most wizards, without being reminded by someone else, would not pay attention to the unique group known as “Transcendent Wizards.”

Erica seemed to have made a decision, nodding slowly:

“I’d better let you know anyway. But you must not speak of it to anyone else, or it will invite an investigation from the Wizard Enforcement Department. Because the secret I’m telling you is protected by the Ulnas Circle Article 5, a regulation not everyone has the right to know.”

“Yes, Professor.” Noland Lee’s expression became solemn as he responded gravely.

The Ulnas Circle Article 5 pertained to the Mass Wizard Tombs.

The Mass Wizard Tombs is a magic institution set up under the Ulnas Circle, specifically tasked with managing the Inner Cosmos and helping wizards ascend to become Star Witches.

As the ascension process requires wizards to relinquish their original bodies, there’s a place specially set up for storing these bodies, hence the term “tombs.”

Erica weighed her words and spoke deliberately:

“There are mainly two conditions for a Saint Tier wizard to ascend to become a Star Witch.
