Jie Ming discovered he had transmigrated, his golden finger being the Immortal Cultivation Encyclopedia [Great Dao Book Pavilion] . But why had he crossed into a wizard world?!
The Star Ring ...
Chapter 368 Norren No. 1 Academy
Viola's smugness didn't last long.
A barely perceptible ripple spread through the office space, and Professor Clark's figure appeared out of thin air as if by ghostly apparition.
As soon as he came out, he habitually glared at Viola, who was still winking and making faces.
The latter immediately shrank its neck like a cat whose scruff was pinched, instantly resuming its "well-behaved" standing posture.
Clark's gaze swept over Jemin, Ang, and Ang's son, and he nodded slightly: "Everyone's here. Let's go."
Without further ado, the group followed Clark and stepped into the academy's dedicated long-distance teleportation array.
A strong sense of spatial pulling came over me, and the surrounding light and shadows twisted and changed rapidly.
When their vision stabilized again, they found themselves in an extremely spacious, giant plaza.
Jemin remembered this place.
I caught a glimpse of the headquarters of Norren Workshop when I participated in the Elite Trial years ago, but I was in a hurry at the time and didn't have a chance to take a closer look.
Compared to the bustling scene of the trial in my memory, there were significantly fewer people in the square now, but it was still lively.
More importantly, looking around, whether it was passersby hurrying by or figures pausing to talk, they all clearly exuded extraordinary power fluctuations of varying strengths—everyone in this square was actually a wizard!
"Tsk tsk..." Jemin thought to himself in amazement.
I had long heard that the top-ranked core planes of Norren Workshop had already achieved the grand goal of making all humans in the entire plane possess wizarding aptitude.
But rumors aside, witnessing this scene of "wizards as ordinary as mortals" in person is still a different kind of shock.
Although the vast majority of them are only first to third-level wizard apprentices, with such a huge base, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of advancement, the number of formal wizards that can be born is absolutely astronomical.
Their sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people around them.
Especially those wizards who had already been promoted to official ranks, upon sensing the powerful and obscure spiritual energy fields emanating from Clark and Viola, even when restrained, revealed a mixture of respect and undisguised astonishment on their faces.
Clearly, even in the Norren Workshop headquarters, which is staffed entirely by wizards, high-ranking wizards are still highly respected figures, rarely seen by anyone.
Faced with stares coming from all directions, the individuals reacted in different ways.
Professor Clark remained expressionless, as if the attention around him was nothing to him, and walked straight ahead.
Jemin remained calm. He was used to being the center of attention as a strongman and to hiding himself when necessary. His mind was completely at ease at this moment.
Viola, however, seemed to have finally found her stage.
She demurely raised her beautifully shaped chin slightly, her long silver-gray hair flowing behind her head, deliberately creating an elegant and noble posture with her every step.
Although she appeared restrained, Jemin caught a hint of almost overflowing smugness deep in her eyes.
He knew in his heart that his senior sister had probably not only come up with new tricks in the "Law of Pain", but had also made great progress in the field of law expansion.
Jemin knew Viola well and knew she wasn't the type to show off.
So doing this is clearly to gather other emotions from those around you.
Ang was slightly flustered by the situation, but he was still able to remain calm.
His son, Coles, standing beside him, became visibly tense, his body slightly strained, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
Jemin glanced at the young man and understood that the boy had probably just finished his first interdimensional war and was still in a state of battlefield stress.
Clark glanced at the information displayed on the magic network terminal on his wrist and gestured in one direction to the group: "This way."
The group stepped onto a wide metal avenue at the edge of the plaza, wide enough for even giant beasts to pass through.
They didn't even need to take a step; as soon as they stepped onto the ground, a gentle yet stable energy field was generated out of thin air.
These energy fields, like invisible conveyor belts, enveloped them, gliding smoothly and rapidly in the predetermined direction.
While he was at it, Jemin took the opportunity to carefully observe this legendary Noren 1 plane.
This is quite different from his Noren 13 plane, which is more traditional in style than wizard towers, and Noren 147, which has a relatively primitive environment.
Looking around here, you see nothing but futuristic, sci-fi-like scenes.
Skyscrapers soaring into the clouds, reflecting a cold metallic luster; a constant stream of vehicles silently suspended on specific tracks; autonomous mechanical creations of various shapes and sizes efficiently shuttling between buildings.
And most strikingly, the colossal space station, suspended in the sky like a second moon, its massive structure clearly visible in the sunlight of the "sun."
Moreover, since all the residents here are extraordinary individuals, the efficiency of many technological creations has been maximized.
For example, the energy field that is carrying them is now accelerating at an unimpeded speed!
The surrounding scenery began to stretch backward wildly, creating blurry bands of color. The sharp sonic boom was cleverly blocked by the force field, but the tangible feeling of breaking through the barrier was crystal clear.
Within seconds, their movement speed had already broken the sound barrier and was still increasing!
If they weren't all formal wizards with the physical attributes, the G-force from this sudden acceleration alone would have been enough to make an ordinary person faint or even disintegrate.
Moreover, the speed was getting faster and faster, and soon it reached a point where even Lian Jieming found it difficult to catch the details.
Relying on such ultra-high-speed movement, the force field's speed began to decrease steadily after only a few minutes.
Ahead, an even more magnificent complex of buildings appeared on the horizon.
They have arrived at their destination, Norren No. 1 Academy.
At the entrance of the academy, two wizards were waiting, seemingly having already received word of their arrival.
One of them was someone Jemin knew all too well—tall and with a resolute face, he was none other than Rex, the tenth-level genius with exceptional alchemy skills whom he had met in the "Justice" plane!
Jemin paused for a moment when he saw Rex, then suddenly realized.
The other party was a genius in the field of alchemy, and since they both belonged to the same lineage of alchemy, it was only natural that they would meet here.
The other wizard, dressed in a deep blue star-patterned robe, was clearly a level six expert, judging from the natural and unrestrained spiritual fluctuations emanating from him!
The wizard had a warm smile on his face and seemed very outgoing.
"Clark! You've finally arrived!" The blue-robed wizard greeted him with a smile, patting Clark's shoulder forcefully. Although Clark's expression didn't change, it was clear that the two were quite familiar with each other.
Clark nodded in response, then turned to his students and introduced, "This is Wizard Augusta."
Jemin, Viola, along with Ang and his child, immediately composed themselves and respectfully bowed to the Augusta wizard: "Greetings, Your Excellency Augusta."
