On the way back, Dean Xiao felt helpless about Mo Fan's trouble-making nature, but he was very optimistic about Mo Fan's courage and insight.
Zizhou told Dean Xiao that he was going out for training again, and also said it was with Ai Jiangtu. Although Dean Xiao was silent for a moment, he still agreed. After all, Zizhou's training was a way to enhance his strength. Although Zizhou didn't say anything during this period, Dean Xiao felt that Zizhou had something to hide. This could be seen from the fact that Zizhou rarely used the space system. This time, Zizhou's space system's regression had a great impact on Zizhou. He also felt the instability of Zizhou's mental power. It seemed that the last incident was not just Mo Fan's problem, but Zizhou didn't say it. It seemed that he wanted to solve it himself. As a teacher, all he could do was to support his students.
"Teacher, I've been training in the tropical forest of Sharp Peak Ridge recently. If you have any questions about the new magic structure, please contact me. I will reply as soon as I see it."
Dean Xiao stood in front of the French window, with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the entire Mingzhu Academy, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Your status is different this time. Many forces have come to our school to investigate your background. The military has already sent people to protect your parents, but we hope to send people to protect you as well."
Zizhou did not refuse immediately. After thinking about it, he decided not to let anyone protect him. He was going there to gain experience anyway. What's the point of gaining experience if someone protected him?
"No need, teacher. I know what you are worried about. When I came up with this new magic framework, I thought of everything that would happen. I am actually very grateful to the military. What I am most worried about now is my parents. Now that this worry is gone, I am not so restrained. Since all these pries and temptations will come, why don't I face them head-on? I have a long way to go. If they want to cut me off, I don't mind them exploring the underworld first!"
Zizhou's words made Dean Xiao feel relieved. He was wrong. Zizhou was not like others. His strength was far beyond his peers. Even many old high-level magicians might suffer at the hands of Zizhou. There was no point in worrying. This child needed a sky to fly. This was not his golden cage. The eagle would soar into the sky one day!
"Okay, okay! I'm too much, but I have it. The place you're going to this time is very suitable for you. This tropical forest is not dangerous, and the environment is very suitable for you to explore. Also, Zizhou, you have made a great contribution this time. The school has decided to give you a soul tool and two magic tools. It just so happens that you don't have any suitable protective magic tools."
"Soul Tool!? The school is bleeding! You didn't decide that, did you?!"
Zizhou looked at Dean Xiao with suspicion. He didn't believe that other teachers would be so kind as to agree to give him a soul tool. It seemed that only his own teacher would be so generous to him.
"Just take it. This is what you deserve. The soul tool will just gather dust if it's left there anyway. It's better to give it to children like you who have a bright future. This is both a reflection of its value and a recognition of you."
I have to say that Dean Xiao is very proactive. He took Zizhou to the school's restricted exhibition room early the next morning. The magic tools inside were neatly arranged on the display stand. But Dean Xiao did not stop there. Instead, he took Zizhou forward and stood in front of a wall. Zizhou vaguely felt the fluctuation of space until a black hole appeared in front of him, which seemed to be a passage.
Dean Xiao took Zizhou in, and a closed room appeared in front of Zizhou. However, Zizhou noticed that an old man with gray hair and a thin face was sleeping quietly on a recliner. Dean Xiao and others came in but did not make him open his eyes.
Dean Xiao did not speak either, but waited quietly, as if waiting for the old man to speak.
Not long after, the old man opened his eyes. There was no wave in his eyes, but a distant feeling of the vicissitudes of life came over him. If Zizhou had not traveled to many worlds, he would have been really shocked by this old man.
Seeing that the students brought by Dean Xiao were not panicked because of him, the old man couldn't help but look up to this child who had not shown any impatience from beginning to end.
"Old Xiao, not bad, he's a good candidate, choose him."
After saying this, he closed his eyes again without waiting for Dean Xiao to speak, as if he had fallen asleep again.
"good."
Dean Xiao was used to it and was not angry. He knew that the other party was like this, so he ignored him and led Zizhou to the display stand on the other side.
"Zizhou, these are all soul tools. Check to see if there is one that suits your taste. Once you have chosen one, just register it. But remember that soul tools have consciousness. When you choose them, they also choose you. If you achieve your soul tool, you are safe."
Zizhou was not surprised. He knew that soul tools had the power to choose their masters. If anyone could use a soul tool, then this soul tool would have no real value.
"Yes, teacher!"
Zizhou carefully observed these unremarkable soul tools. Perhaps it was because Zizhou's gaze was too sharp that some of the soul tools seemed to be eager to move, but there was no scene of the soul tools flying.
Zizhou noticed a rather interesting soul tool. It was a watch with a silver body, which looked somewhat retro. The watch chain was also silver. It looked low-key yet luxurious, and it was something that Zizhou fell in love with at first sight.
Perhaps it was Zizhou's stagnation that made Dean Xiao notice the small watch.
"Teacher, I want this soul tool."
Zizhou pointed at the watch and said to Dean Xiao, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he waited for Dean Xiao's reply.
Dean Xiao nodded and asked Zizhou to get it. It’s not that Dean Xiao didn’t want to help Zizhou get it, but that he needed Zizhou to try to make that watch choose Zizhou.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
At the signal of Dean Xiao, Zizhou stretched out his hand towards the watch, but for some reason, Zizhou felt a resistance. When Zizhou released the space magic energy along this resistance, the resistance disappeared when the magic energy came into contact with it. Even the watch disappeared and appeared on Zizhou's left wrist. An exquisite watch was on his wrist like a bracelet.
"Hahaha! It seems that this watch has chosen you too. You should cherish it."
"Yes! I will, Sensei!"
The old man who was supposed to be sitting on the recliner sat up, looking at the watch on Zizhou's wrist and speaking in a flat tone.
"This watch is called Time Condensation Space. As the name suggests, time can be condensed within the scope of space. It is also a soul tool exclusively for space-based mages. It has extremely strict requirements. Not only does it require the mage to be a space-based mage, but the mage's spiritual power must be above level seven, and the mage's potential must be within its recognized range. If one of these is missing, it will not choose you. This is the first time I have seen it choose a master in all these years. I didn't expect you to do it today. It seems that Lao Xiao has a reason to accept you. Well, now that you have chosen, go out. I will register."
Dean Xiao was very satisfied that his students could get such good soul tools, and he was also very contented to take Zizhou out of the room. When he was distracted, he saw Zizhou appeared in front of the wall. If the watch on his hand had not told him that what happened just now was not fake, Zizhou would probably have suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Don't worry, this is not a space in itself. The space just now is a newly opened space. If you reach the super level in the future, you can also open up a space of your own."
Dean Xiao explained to Zizhou and took him to choose suitable magic tools. Zizhou did not continue to dwell on this matter, but chose a defensive magic tool and a magic-slaying tool. He was preparing for future training. After all, the others were not very necessary for him.
