Chapter 172 - A Finger (2/2)

“Thank you,” Mo Fan said sincerely.

“I’d like to give you a little suggestion, if I may. People may only enter the Three Step Tower a few times. Many of the Intermediate-level mages in the main institution never got the chance to enter the Three Step Tower at all, so just imagine how hard it is to be able to get a chance to enter the tower. You should choose a suitable time for yourself to enter the tower. At least from my point of view, you are still not prepared to enter the tower. If you entered the tower now, you would only receive minimum benefits,” advised Dean Xiao.

Dean Xiao was right. Mo Fan had reached the Intermediate level in both the Fire and Lightning Element. He still had to fortify and master his current strength right now; his handling of a Star Atlas was nowhere close to Mu Nujiao!.

As for his Summoning and Shadow Element, Mo Fan only managed to raise them into the third level in his Stardust, and there was still quite a long way to go to the higher tier Starcloud.

Trying to increase his strength to a higher level would be very low if he tried to strengthen himself through the cultivation sacred ground now, and he would only waste a precious chance by doing so.

Mo Fan clearly understood Dean Xiao’s words; Dean Xiao wanted him to wait for a suitable time to enter the Three Step Tower, and only by doing so would Mo Fan be able to fully utilize the effect of the cultivation sacred ground.

Other than that, with the amplification of the Little Loach Pendant, early levels could be easily achieved in a matter of time, so there was no need for him to waste such a precious chance like this!

“Next will be the Warrior class monster’s Spirit Blood, which will provide a tremendous boost for your Spirit Wolf’s evolution into the Warrior class. All of this, however, is just something to aid your Summoned beast’s evolution; whether or not it will ascend into the next level depends on itself in the end. Remember, like you, your Summoned beast only reached its current level a short time ago, and its base is still not that solid yet. Nature has its own rules, and this is especially obvious among the monsters. The monsters with a higher-level bloodline are always smarter, fiercer, and stronger yet their ability to reproduce is weaker, and so there are fewer of them. The ones with lower-level bloodlines are relatively inferior, but they often reproduce swarms by swarms, and so are easily found. If the monsters with weaker bloodlines try to break the limits of their heritage, defying the rules of nature, and failed, they will turn to dust,” Dean Xiao reminded him seriously.

With a nod, Mo Fan indicated that he understood.

Be it man or monster, the path of cultivation was filled with difficulties.

For example, when Mo Fan tried to advance into the next level, the resistance of his mental power almost caused his brain to explode. The same were for the evolution of monsters. If their body and mind were not strong enough, they would all die, because what they were doing was trying to discard their own bloodline in order to achieve a superior one!

“Keep this card, there are two million RMB on this card, this is your reward for winning the competition. Among the public resources was some cash, which I placed in this card. They are all yours,” said Dean Xiao as he handed over a card to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan’s jaw dropped!

Two million!!

Oh my heavens, the institution is really generous, the amount given to him right now was equivalent to hitting a jackpot in the lottery!!

Rich, I’m rich!!

Upon seeing the extreme happiness on Mo Fan’s face, Dean Xiao who was worried that Mo Fan might lose himself in the sudden wealth, and warned him, “Money is nothing when it comes to us mages. In order to pursue ever higher achievements on the path of magic, a few million is nothing at all! Once you get to the advanced level, you might need even more than that! The cultivation path of a mage is a life-long path that requires a huge fortune. After the tragedy of Bo City, I assume you now know deeply the responsibilities of a true mage, and us humans’ position in the food pyramid of this world.”

“Don’t worry, Dean Xiao. I, Mo Fan, will not be satisfied with just being an Intermediate-level mage.”

“Good, then I hope that if a disastrous event bigger than the tragedy in Bo City arrives, you will be able to contribute,” replied Dean Xiao.

“Then, Dean Xiao, may I ask how much a Wing Magic Equipment cost?” asked Mo Fan curiously.

“At least this amount, and it is not negotiable,” Dean Xiao answered, as he raised one finger.
