C43 Knowledge Changed His Fate

Revealing his identity turned out to be more advantageous than Choo Qin had anticipated.

With Zhu Mo's assistance, even the slip-ups that could have exposed him as a Sorcerer were smoothly concealed.

Furthermore, Zhu Mo, now aware of Choo Qin's status as a Sorcerer, frequently sought his opinion on various decisions—a stark contrast to his usual demeanor with students.

This deference from Zhu Mo was understandable; the number of Sorcerers in Long Song City was limited to a select few at the pinnacle of power. While Zhu Mo wasn't one to curry favor with the influential, he couldn't help but hold a deep respect for those of strength.

Over the following days, Choo Qin attended several other classes.

The History teacher was an elderly man named Mr. Li, whose lessons on the Empire's past and the evolution of magic subtly instilled a sense of loyalty to the Empire in the students.

Miss Qin Tian, the instructor for the basic magic course, covered a range of topics, including material identification, alchemy, array patterns, and runes. It was essentially a biology class from Choo Qin's previous life, albeit with a fantastical twist.

The Rune Carving class, which captured Choo Qin's interest the most, began with the basics and progressively delved deeper, satisfying his curiosity. The structure of runes bore resemblance to mathematical geometry, with the addition of magical 'formulas.' For Choo Qin, a student with a strong science background, this wasn't challenging. He even found it quite insightful, though mastering the extensive 'formulas' would take time.

Thus, Choo Qin, already at the level of a Sorcerer, earnestly started his education anew in the Alien Realm, gradually blending in with his civilian peers.

Sometimes he would humorously consider himself foolish for spending so many years studying on Earth, only to continue his education in the Alien Realm. Yet, he persisted, understanding more profoundly that knowledge could indeed change one's destiny. This notion, perhaps cliché on Earth, took on greater significance in the Mage World, where the luxurious lives of nobles were beyond the wildest dreams of ordinary farmers.

The maxim etched into the entrance of the Magic Academy further solidified his resolve to master the art of runes.

Dying in pursuit of a mage's truth is preferable to living a life of insignificance.

...

By day, I immersed myself in study, and by night, I wandered through Dragon Void, which kept the tedium at bay.

At the Arena, Choo Qin had achieved an impressive streak of 372 consecutive victories. As the battles progressed, he became acutely aware of the crucial role that strength played.

Now, nearly every adversary he faced possessed the power of a Sorcerer or greater. Gone were the days when he could effortlessly dominate his opponents.

Occasionally, he would face off against peculiar races where, despite having no cooldowns or consumables, capturing his opponent proved elusive. In these instances, he resorted to the nearly unfair advantage of his infinite Mage Shield and a barrage of attacks to secure victory.

On the bright side, Alyssa was on the cusp of entering the Giant Dragon Period. Chen Kai had explained that the Dragon Cub Period was merely for acclimation, and the true essence of Dragon Void would only manifest after the transition.

On the downside, Choo Qin was still at a loss on how to progress to becoming a Great Sorcerer. He had become quite adept with various runes, including High Level Runes, yet his grasp of the fundamental essence remained stagnant.

Choo Qin had assumed this slow and steady pace would continue for some time, but an unexpected challenge letter abruptly shattered his tranquility.

Receiving the challenge letter left Choo Qin baffled; he couldn't recall offending anyone and had been earnestly devoted to his studies.

But upon opening the so-called "challenge letter," a wry smile crept across his face.

Indeed, trouble had a way of finding you, even when you least expected it.
