Chapter 278 Joining the Kieran Faction, Secret Information, Exchanging for the Four Hearts of the El
Chapter 278 Joining the Kieran Faction, Secret Information, Exchanging for the Heart of the Four Symbols, First is Ian?
In a familiar room.
"Please sit down."
Kieran sat on the sofa and spoke to Ian, who was standing.
"Okay, teacher."
Ian nodded and sat down, curious about what Kieran wanted to tell him.
"Ian, how much do you know about the Four Symbols Resonance Technique?"
Kieran suddenly spoke.
"The Four Symbols Resonance Method?" Ian pondered for a moment, wanting to say something, but found that he seemed to really know nothing about it.
In fact, most of the information was learned from previous conversations with Simon and Kieran.
He shook his head.
Kieran smiled and said, "What I'm about to tell you are some core secrets of my lineage. Ian, can I trust you?"
Core secret.
Upon hearing Kieran's words, Ian instantly understood his meaning: was he planning to pull him onto his warship?
At the college.
Although everyone seems to be in the same academy, this large academy has many factions and factions.
As the dean, Kieran obviously couldn't be alone.
"Teacher, I'm willing."
Ian nodded and said directly.
Kieran has already done him too many favors in this academy; if he can't trust even that, who can he trust?
Kiran nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, then I can tell you some things, such as the matter of the Four Symbols Wizard."
The academy has never really cared much about the Four Symbols inheritance, for two reasons. First, although this meditation method is five-crystal, it's been a long time since it was invented, and the wizarding world is constantly evolving, so it's become somewhat outdated. Its power is only that of a regular four-crystal method, and even at five crystal, it's unlikely to compare to the academy's current meditation methods.
Ian nodded.
He did indeed sense it; the Four Symbols Resonance Method was powerful, but not ridiculously so.
The reason for the exaggeration is purely because his supplementation, after reaching perfection, completely achieved a leap forward.
But a five-crystal crystal is a five-crystal crystal, and its essential level is higher than that of a four-crystal crystal, which is why he is unwilling to give up.
"And what's the second one?"
"Ian asked."
"Secondly, they felt that the Four Symbols Wizard was just an ordinary third-ring wizard, all alone, with limited value in his legacy."
Kieran smiled.
That is...
""
Curiosity flashed in Ian's eyes.
Kieran continued, "On the contrary, after my teacher Edmund and my relentless exploration and search, we determined that the Four Symbols Wizard was at least a peak Third Ring level being, and he even established a wizarding academy at the time, but his territory was only half of what it is now known as the Elemental Wizarding."
This?
A look of surprise flashed across Ian's eyes.
The pinnacle of the Third Ring Road?
This is already the highest level below the fourth ring, and he knows that the power that possesses the fourth ring is the Gray Tower.
The Gray Tower's territory encompasses multiple wizarding territories.
How could a wizard of this level have such a small territory for his academy?
This is definitely not normal.
"Unless he has ulterior motives?"
Ian asked doubtfully.
Kieran nodded: "That's for sure. We're certain he's searching for something in the secret realm, something our lineage has been looking for all along. Something that a top-tier third-ring wizard wouldn't give up must be worth more than we can imagine."
Ian expressed his approval.
Suddenly, the black lines in the secret realm came to mind.
If there's anything that could attract this top wizard, could it be the source of those black lines?
Knowledge worth 100,000 is a gift.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"So don't give up on the Four Elements Resonance Meditation Method; this meditation method may be the clue."
Kieran looked up and finally voiced his thoughts.
"Understood, teacher."
Ian's eyes flickered.
I also recalled a time when my meditation technique was upgraded to the master level, and the number of black lines seemed to decrease.
So there really was a connection.
Then it seems we can't give up even more.
"Thank you for reminding me, teacher."
Ian nodded.
"No need to thank me." Then Kieran slowly tossed out a bottle containing a pale blue liquid.
Looking at these liquids, Ian felt as if a surging river of elements was flowing past him.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This is source water condensed from a small tributary of an elemental river. Even if you need several times more resources than a normal person, it should be enough."
Kieran then spoke.
"Thank you, teacher."
Ian thanked him again.
Don't underestimate this small bottle; its value definitely exceeds 100,000 magic stones, and it's truly priceless and unavailable.
"This is nothing. If you can really get your hands on the fifth level and the rest of the inheritance, and find the real clues, the source water is nothing to worry about."
Kieran shook his head.
"Teacher, I will definitely work hard."
"You really need to work harder, and you need to work even harder, because what you're doing now is far from enough."
???
Ian was stunned. What did this mean?
But then Kieran abruptly changed the subject, saying, "The war has entered its climax. The Academy Council has decided that this war will end within ten to fifteen years, completely annihilating the Crimson Eye."
Ten to fifteen years?
Ian was stunned; this happened much faster than he had imagined.
Based on the current lukewarm progress of the war, he thought it would be a protracted war!
"A new school of wizarding has risen in the north and is absorbing other wizarding academies. The academies are forced into this situation. In the current environment, if you don't absorb other academies to become stronger, you can only wait for others to become stronger and then devour you," Kieran explained to him.
Was the environment really this harsh?
Ian suddenly realized.
It seems that he has always been under the protection of the academy and has never faced it directly.
But now it seems that whether it's the Crimson Eye facing a threat, the Elemental Arcane Arts are facing the same one.
Contend for supremacy!
The two words that Victor had originally suggested echoed in his mind once again.
But he still didn't understand what Kieran meant.
Kieran shook his head.
His student is highly skilled in both magic and academics, but he lacks sensitivity to certain things.
That's normal, though.
After all, we haven't had much exposure to it yet. We'll gradually understand once we have more exposure to the core aspects.
"The Academy Wars are about resources, or more precisely, the resources and territory that the second-circle wizards need. Once the Crimson Eyes are destroyed, a large amount of resources will be freed up. Do you understand?"
"It's actually quite difficult for a newly promoted member of the Second Ring to obtain suitable resources. Not only does it require going through layers of approval, but it can also face significant obstacles. Often, they need to develop these resources themselves, since the total amount of resources is limited. However, if you can advance to the Second Ring within this timeframe..."

Ian certainly wasn't still not understanding by now.
"You mean, once you advance to the second ring, you'll also have a chance to participate in this competition?"
"Ian asked."
"Yes, even if you only participate a little, the benefits you receive may be more than you could normally achieve in decades within the Second Ring Road. It can help you get through the most difficult period of the Second Ring Road."
"Therefore, don't relax after advancing to the core level. Even if you can't advance to the second ring, the higher your core ranking, the greater the benefits. The higher you go in the academy war, the more you benefit."
Kieran said.
He didn't really think Ian could advance to the second ring within the allotted time, since the time was too short.
Judging from Ian's past speed, on average it's only at the level of a new moon.
Totally impossible.
But it would be good to motivate the kid, since in his opinion, Ian was sometimes too lazy.
Was Ian motivated?
Naturally there is.
But it is not a benefit.
Instead...
"Teacher, the Crimson Eyes will be destroyed in ten years. They'll have to fight desperately, and the environment will be very dangerous!" Ian asked.
Kieran's lips twitched, but he nodded: "Yes, the core will definitely be one of their main targets, and the intensity of the war will be far greater than it is now. Even the core will have to go to the battlefield when necessary."
Ian's breath hitched.
A sense of crisis rose in my heart.
I thought things would be stable after I advanced to the core, but I didn't expect there to be another big wave later.
However, it is also an opportunity.
If you advance within the specified time, you can indeed gain huge benefits, and more importantly...
"The Second Ring Road has a much higher survival rate in this war."
Ian pursed his lips.
He immediately set advancing to the second ring road within ten years as his top priority.
wrong.
The ten-year period may have already begun; we need to compress it a few more years, and we must advance within at least eight years.
The sense of urgency gradually caused Ian's excitement about advancing to the core to wane.
Instead.
It is an even stronger determination.
Moreover, it's the Second Ring Road.
That was what he had longed for all along.
That's a completely different dimension.
"Alright."
Kieran's lips twitched slightly.
Watching Ian's fighting spirit being ignited, though not in the way he had imagined.
His student.
Sometimes it's really frustrating.
But sometimes, under pressure, potential can indeed be great. It's just unknown whether we can go further in the core this time within ten years.
Perhaps we have a chance to make it into the top ten.
Leave Kieran's castle.
Ian's feelings were completely different now.
On the way down the mountain, I saw two new wizard towers rising from the ground in the core area.
Clearly prepared for the new core, it seems the academy was well-prepared.
"After the core ceremony, one of them will be mine."
Ian was looking forward to it.
Then he strode away.
However, he did not return directly, but instead came to one side of the Four Symbols Branch, in front of a small hill.
This is the secret vault of the Four Symbols Institute.
Ian was ready to exchange for what he needed.
"You can enter anything below level one, that is, up to the third floor, for one hour."
"That's what the wizard in charge of the review said."
"OK."
Ian nodded, watching as the towering gate in front of him suddenly opened, illuminating him with various lights.
"The first layer consists of things from the initial stage of the first ring; everyone starts from the first ring."
Ian glanced at the things on both sides, his eyes flickering. It seemed that the Zero Rings must be stored elsewhere.
He went straight to the third floor.
Here you'll find the best items in Tier 1.
"A top-tier first-tier staff, along with various magical artifacts and resources..."
"Ian's eyes were blurry from looking at it."
But they were very determined.
Finally, on a shelf around a corner, he found what he was looking for: a piece of ore the size of a head.
Its surface resembles crystal, but its interior is four-colored, and it is surrounded by a rich aura of elements.
"The Heart of the Four Symbols"
Ian's eyes gleamed, and the size of the object was large enough to allow him to practice until he reached a level of proficiency or higher.
It's enough for now, at least.
Without hesitation, Ian took the top-tier material from the first ring.
After registration.
Ian left the vault.
Upon returning to his castle, located in the middle level, he was respectfully welcomed by Farn and Sherry.
At this moment, the aura emanating from both of them had reached the limit of zero ring.
This is normal.
Ian's resources were already excessive within the first ring; even if a little of them were to spill out, it would be enough for those in the zero ring to live comfortably.
Perhaps after advancing to the core level, he could even lead the two of them to become first-ring wizards.
This also includes other people, of course.
These are all things Ian is considering.
At this moment, the two of them were also uneasy, because they knew that Ian was going to the core for a second round of assessment.
They are servants bound to Ian.
Naturally, they were extremely concerned, even more so than Ian himself.
Unless Ian tells them, but they won't ask, and there's no need to.
You can find out by observing the recent visitors and mailboxes over the past few days.
Ian entered the training room.
Then I started practicing the Four Symbols Cycle, because I had a foundation in the Three Symbols Cycle.
So it's quick to get started.
Just three days later, Ian was able to use it skillfully.
"The Three Symbols Cycle on the panel has disappeared, replaced by a top-tier Four Symbols Cycle, and the proficiency level has directly reached Proficiency."
Ian's eyes flickered.
But it didn't seem strange.
Since both are essentially the same piece of knowledge, it's fine this way; we don't need to improve both, we can just improve the latter directly.
"And I've also felt the changes!"
Ian sighed.
During the Three Elephants period, this sorcery mainly enhanced combat power, but now it has gained a new ability.
"Previously, I needed twelve hours a day to completely exhaust myself with meditation, but now it only takes eleven."
Ian looked excited.
Even so, it would consume more energy, but he could have an extra hour to practice other witchcraft.
The meaning is self-evident.
After a while, he continued meditating.
Now the water supply is plentiful, and there is no need to worry about materials. These are all changes brought about by the re-examination.
Even at this point, he had not yet advanced to the core level.
While Ian was focused on practicing witchcraft, the departure of many elite members and the release of the final results naturally brought the information to the attention of the academy's leaders.
Wind Whisper Academy.
On the mountaintop where the storm raged forever, Elena put down the final application form for the project and checked the latest information.
Some of them are about war.
There are also those from within the college.
"Are the core results out?"
Her gaze swept across the room. As the dean of the Wind Whisper Academy, these wizards were, in a sense, her people, and naturally, she needed to keep an eye on them.
"Great, Nicole advanced. It's a bit of a shame about Windwing, but he should be fine next time."
She finished looking at the rankings of Wind Whisper Academy with satisfaction.
One of her students advanced to the core level, while another was just short of Windwing, but that's normal.
Then, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the Four Symbols Institute.
The first is...

"Ian?"
