The Apprentice Adepts around him were all stunned.
The reason why they had gathered around Phantom Island was that they wanted to reach the island as soon as possible and try their luck. But why had they stayed here for so long, while others had just arrived?!
Some apprentices didn't believe it and sneaked onto Phantom Island. The apprentice took out his wand and tried to reach it. His wand was cut in half as soon as he entered the range of the array. He quickly backed away in fear. At the same time, a group of powerful phantom beasts showed up in the forest and stared at him.
"The array is not closed. How did that kid get in?" someone asked.
No one answered him, and no one responded. Although they had their doubts, they had been in the World of Adepts for a long time. They knew when to speak and when to shut up. They would leave it to the hotheads.
On a small cloud, there was a sexy beauty wearing a glowing gauze, only using a purple silk cloth to wrap around her chest and thighs, revealing her long white legs and slender waist. She was leaning lazily on the shoulder of a black-robed man beside her.
"Oh, my dear Lady Nanagi. Do you want me to die because of my curiosity? Tell me, who is that handsome young man? "
The black-robed man was Nanagi. "Just a lucky guy."
"Is he just a lucky guy? By the way, why do I smell jealousy in your voice? " The sexy woman's pink lips moved around Nanagi's ears. Nanagi's earlobe trembled slightly under her breath.
When everyone fell into silence, an old man with gray hair suddenly spoke up, "I remember now. Isn't that the kid who just entered Phantom Island? The one who's been talking about for months!"
The old man's voice rang out. Clearly, someone had recognized the old man.
"Hoff, you know who that kid is?"
The old man nodded and did not keep them in suspense. "Did you forget? He's the one who received Sunders' message in the resource allocation hall. "
"Now that you mention it, I think I remember him. Huh?! He's Sunders' new student? "
Following the spread of this sentence, the surrounding Apprentice Adepts were in an uproar.
Someone took out a crystal ball and read a message from several months ago. It said that someone in the new batch received a golden poster from Sunders.
When they opened the image, everyone understood.
The one who just entered Phantom Island was the young man in the crystal ball!
On the sky bridge, Big Fatty Beck moved to his boss with a worried look. "Boss, what should we do? I think I offended that kid! Who knew he's Sunders' new student! "
The leader remained silent. "Don't worry. He's just an apprentice even if he received the poster. Mister Wizards don't care about what happens between apprentices. Have you forgotten? Another student of Mister Sunders, Flora, was hunted down many times before she became a wizard. She even got herself into trouble with a formal wizard, and Mister Sunders didn't care about it. "
"Boss, why do you say that? Mister Sunders' heartless?" Beck asked.
"It's not heartless. This is the norm between Magi. If we're lucky enough to become formal wizards, maybe we'll be like that too. "The leader sighed.
"I don't know what other wizards are like, but if I become a wizard, I won't just watch you guys be in danger." The one who spoke was Teuton, who had the nickname of "Coward".
"I like those words. Teuton must be two meters tall today!" Beck teased, and his face fell again. "Boss, you're right. But if Sunders took him in as a disciple, he must be very talented. Those apprentices who received the golden poster all leveled up like they were drinking water. Maybe it won't be long before that kid surpasses me. If he catches me then, I'm done for! "
Beck narrowed his eyes. "How about we take advantage of the fact that he's still a level-1 apprentice and …" Beck made a beheading gesture.
Teuton frowned at Beck's "beheading". He considered for a moment and said, "I don't think you need to worry. I don't think that young man is a narrow-minded person."
After hearing Teuton's words, the leader said, "Since Teuton said so, you can relax. You know, Teuton's intuition is rarely wrong."
Beck shrugged. "Alright then. I'll listen to the boss!"
On the other side, Angor, who was being chased by all the apprentices, was currently entering the inner circle of Phantom Island. He had been to Phantom Island many times, so he was familiar with the place.
While he was hurrying on his way, he was still thinking about what had happened earlier. He was angry about being stopped by the three apprentices, but they did not take advantage of him. Besides, they only blocked his way because they accepted a mission. Angor would not hold a grudge against them. However, he was concerned about one thing. Why were there so many apprentices here?
Were they here for Professor's Sorcerer's Garden?
After returning from Phantom Island, Angor did some research on the Sorcerer's Garden. He found that the Sorcerer's Garden did give birth to some strange laws. However, these laws were not as solid as real laws. Instead, they were like some kind of particles in the air. In other words, they were the fragments of solidified laws that would be consumed. Some laws that were not beneficial to the human body would not be consumed. However, laws that were beneficial to the human body, such as the "Purification" law in Floating Mech City, would also be consumed if too many people were purified.
However, the laws in the Sorcerer's Garden would recover automatically. Even if they were used up, they could slowly recover over time.
Angor was curious about this. Even if Sunders' Sorcerer's Garden was similar to the "Purification" law and was beneficial to the human body, it should not be distributed to so many people.
The Sorcerer's Garden in Floating Mech City had been closed for hundreds of years. Even if the power of laws inside had accumulated to the point of overflowing, there was still a threshold for opening it to the outside world.
Angor took a quick look around and saw at least several thousand people around Phantom Island. Considering that the Sorcerer's Garden was just a newborn, it should not contain much power of laws. At most, it could only benefit one or two hundred people.
As Angor pondered, Butler Goode showed up on the path ahead.
"Good afternoon, Mister Padt." Goode's eyes, which were hidden behind his mask, seemed to be observing Angor from head to toe. "I didn't think Mister Padt could really break through within a month. I'm sure Mister Padt will be very happy to hear about this."
"Mister Padt is still near the Sorcerer's Garden. Please follow me, Mister Padt."
While traveling with Goode, Angor asked Goode about the situation outside.
"Oh, those people. They just want to try their luck." Goode chuckled.
"Did Mister Padt set up some kind of threshold like the one in Floating Mech City?" Angor wondered.
"Nope," Goode explained. Goode explained, "When a newborn Sorcerer's Garden manifests its laws, it will naturally generate some kind of rhythm. It's like the world's consciousness has turned into a kind elder and is bestowing some kind of law to the newborn Sorcerer's Garden. As long as people are close to Phantom Island, they will be able to sense the rhythm of this law. This is the opportunity that they seek. "
"I see." Angor wanted to ask more about the function of the rhythm, but he noticed that they were already close to the Sorcerer's Garden, and Sunders was not far away.
The Sorcerer's Garden was not fully completed yet, but it was already taking shape.
Just like the outskirts of Phantom Island, the Sorcerer's Garden was also surrounded by many people. However, these people all had profound auras, and every movement they made was filled with mystery. Angor could feel his heart trembling just by looking at them.
"They're all wizards, aren't they? They're so scary! "Angor thought to himself.
Angor's arrival did not attract any attention. They would not even bother to look at a common apprentice.
Sunders was the only one who looked at him.
Sunders brought Angor to a secluded place nearby.
"Now that you've become an apprentice, have you thought about your next goal?" Sunders did not ask Angor if he wanted to change his locator method. It was obvious to him.
"Improve my strength. Then I want to try the Sky Tower," Angor said.
Sunders was surprised. He then smiled. "As long as you have a goal. You should know how to improve yourself."
With that, Sunders turned around and left.
Angor looked at Sunders' back and felt a little regretful.
"Heeheehee …" A strange giggle suddenly reached Angor's ears. "What's with that look on your face, Angor? What's on your mind?"
The strange voice seemed to have some kind of magic power. Angor did not know what he was thinking. "I thought my professor would teach me some spells on this trip. But why didn't he say anything?"
"Oh, so you want to learn spells? Want me to teach you? "
Angor looked up and saw Flora, whom he had not seen for a long time. She was floating in the air and giggling while covering her face. Behind her, Little Red smiled at Angor with its dark eye sockets, which looked like crescent moons, and greeted Angor happily.
"May I?" Angor's eyes glowed. If he wanted to improve his strength, he had to start by learning spells. However, he was still at a loss as to which spell technique he was going to learn.
Flora giggled. "Of course you can —"
"Flora!" She was about to say yes when she heard Sunders' voice.
Flora rolled her eyes and quickly changed her words. "Of course not."
Angor's face crumpled in pain.
Flora sighed. "Ah, the professor is so nice to you."
She did not say anything else and simply stepped on the air and walked away. "Oh right, if that mixed-blood from another world asks me where I went, just tell him that I went out. I'll be back when he's done cultivating."
