Chapter 36

Wizard Jerome's foresight was not something that James could compare to. As soon as Psychokinesis appeared, Wizard Jerome realized how great the benefits of using Spiritual Energy in this way would be. If he could let the apprentices master Psychokinesis through this meditation technique, it would definitely greatly improve their overall abilities during the apprentice stage.

Yes, overall abilities. If the results of a research could only be used in combat, then its significance would be greatly reduced.

Psychokinetic already had the effect of Spiritual Energy at the level of a Wizard to a certain extent.

Adam thought for a moment, then said, "In my imagination, Psychokinetic's value is achieved through control. For example, as long as my Spiritual Energy is strong enough, I can achieve the effect of low-level elemental magic by controlling the elements. The prerequisite is that I am in the appropriate environment. "

"Other than that, Psychokinetic has other applications. For example, strengthening the body. It is almost an all-around improvement of the body's quality. It can create a repulsive field and a vacuum layer. It can distort reference objects to blur one's position to achieve the goal of concealment. It can even be used directly as magic to destroy the enemy's mind and body. "

Adam stopped. These were just guesses and couldn't be used as conclusions. Adam didn't like to say things that had no evidence as the truth.

Wizard Jerome nodded. It was already very good that Adam could say these things. Due to the limited vision and knowledge of the apprentices, they could not discover the deeper application. In Wizard Jerome's opinion, Psychokinetic could be used as a general support ability. It could be used as a precision instrument in all kinds of research. For example, scalpels, sorters, and even microscopes. Using Spiritual Energy to directly perceive and complete these delicate tasks was obviously more convenient than using a clumsy body.

Wizard Jerome said, "This meditation technique belongs to Adam's work, right?"

James and Adam nodded.

"Then, congratulations, Adam. Your wisdom will bring you great benefits. I will hand over the 'Psychokinesis Meditation Technique' to the Master of the Tower. If you are lucky enough, this meditation technique may enter the Fifth Elemental Sacred Tower. At that time, even an official mage would be moved by the rewards and subsequent benefits. " Wizard Jerome said with a smile, "Now, are you willing to make it public to the library? You can set a price for it. Everyone who reads it will get you a 25% cut."

Adam's eyes brightened. This was a real benefit that would bring him great benefits. Perhaps he would not have to worry about energy stones in the future.

"Of course, respected Wizard Jerome. I think fifty energy stones is a suitable price."

Wizard Jerome took out two contracts and nodded after watching Adam sign them, he said, "Alright. Then the contract is established. You need to send the complete construction method to the library within seven days.. As for other matters, if there is any follow-up news, someone will inform you. "

The two bowed and left the academic department. James said to Adam with emotion, "I really didn't expect that you could create such an amazing thing, Adam. The Fifth Elemental Holy Tower, my God. But was it really alright? Are we just going to make it public? "

"Why not?"

Adam never had any thoughts of hiding. As for whether or not someone would surpass him after learning Psychokinetic, this was not something to worry about. A person's strength was never due to self-interest. Only through wisdom and continuous improvement and research hard work was the decisive factor. Adam had absolute confidence in this.

James was stunned for a moment. Then, he said sincerely, "Alright. Geniuses always think differently."

Next was the examination and approval department. The two of them needed to apply for a new laboratory here.

The examination and approval department was not far from the academic department.... James said to Adam with mixed feelings, "I didn't think I could go through the establishment and cancellation of a laboratory in a day."

... Adam was curious about this process. He asked, "Is the examination and approval very strict?"

... James shook his head and said, "It was very strict a year ago. At that time, there were many senior apprentices in the academy. They would often quarrel over a laboratory or a sum of money. In the end, they would settle the matter with a duel. But not now. The academy has a lot of idle resources."

"Won't the mage in charge of the examination and approval department stop it? Isn't it decided by the value of the project? "

James heard this and looked at Adam in surprise. He did not expect Adam to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "I forgot that you're a rookie. You don't know the rules of the tower and the academy. Mages don't even care about the labs set up by the apprentices, because most of the apprentices won't be able to come up with anything of value with their wisdom and vision. The reason why the tower allows the apprentices to set up their labs is that it's just a matter of luck. Just like you, if any lab can come up with something of the level of Psychokinesis, it will bring great benefits to the tower. "

Adam was still puzzled. "But the money is real. Doesn't the tower care about the loss of money?"

James laughed involuntarily. "Adam, it seems that you need to learn some common sense. Energy stones are the lowest level of resources in the world of mages. Their value is very low. Every Hyperdimensional mage will get a huge amount of energy stones in any planar expedition. For an official mage, Ether crystals are the most valuable. "

He thought for a moment and lowered his voice to the lowest level. He whispered to Adam, "The Moldo Hyperdimensional Mage is not very strong. After the last tower war, they lost a lot of resources. If they were in a powerful mage tower, the talented students recruited from more prosperous areas would have a lot of resources. They would never have to worry about energy stones."

Adam understood. He remembered that he had heard Mage Black talk about energy stones. But, he still asked, "Then why don't the official mages find another job?"

"Some are because of the contract. They can't leave until they've worked for three hundred years. Some are because they've reached the end of their path as a mage. There's no room for improvement. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We're here. "

Adam understood tacitly and kept quiet. He walked into the examination and approval department with James.

The examination and approval department was much bigger than the academic department. It also looked a lot more deserted. Adam found that the mage inside was someone he knew. It was Irene, one of the four guides.

After James' explanation, Adam guessed the reason why Irene was here. Among the four, Mage Black was level two. He should be the strongest, so he took on a more important role. The other three were probably level one, so they stayed in the tower to face the apprentices.

Mage Irene still had that lazy look on her face, but with her beautiful face, she exuded a special charm.

"James, eh? And Adam?" Irene did not forget Adam. "What are you doing here? James, if I remember correctly, you just applied to cancel your laboratory this morning, right? "

After the two saluted, James lowered his head and said, "Yes, respected Mage Irene. My laboratory has been handed over. This time, I'm here to accompany Apprentice Adam to apply for a new laboratory."

Irene said to Adam with a pleasant expression, "Little guy, I heard you were in the limelight a few days ago?" But before Adam could say anything, Irene's expression became stern, "Did you become arrogant because of that? Do you know the consequences of lying to a mage? "

Irene obviously thought that Adam and James were working together to cheat her of her funds. An apprentice who canceled his laboratory in the morning because of the deadline and then came back with another apprentice a few hours later. This was not normal in anyone's eyes.

James said respectfully, "You misunderstood. Apprentice Adam has already made some preliminary results."

"Oh?"

Adam stepped forward and put the signed contract in front of Irene with both hands. After reading it, Irene's expression became gentle again, as if she had never been angry. She looked at Adam and said in amazement, "Who would've thought that in the blink of an eye, the little guy from back then could reach this level."

Irene had reason to be surprised, not because of how amazing Psychokinetic Meditation was, but because in a mage's sense of time, three months really was just the blink of an eye.

"You flatter me," Adam replied with a bow.

Excluding the possibility of cheating, and with the contract as proof, Mage Irene did not mind allocating resources of the level of energy stones. Just as she was about to agree, the door to the examination department was pushed open again, and in came a senior apprentice that Adam had never seen before.

He also held a contract in his hand, and his face was full of excitement. After entering, he acted as if he did not see the two of them and said to Irene, "Respected Mage Irene, I've received proof to apply for the establishment of an alchemy body research laboratory!"

Irene put down her pen with interest and said, "Haha, what a coincidence today. There are actually two people applying for the establishment of a laboratory at the same time? "

That apprentice was stunned. Two people? Only then did he notice Adam and Irene. His expression turned ugly, and he said through gritted teeth, "James, you piece of trash, you still have the face to stay in the academy?"

Adam was puzzled. He had never seen such a level of conflict between senior apprentices. What was going on with these two?

James looked at this person with an awkward expression, and did not refute his insults. He said in a low voice, "Frank, I …"

"Shut up, you piece of trash. Now you want to continue lying to others? Using your stupid ideas to delay other people's time? You damned piece of trash! " The more Frank spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, he could not control the energy fluctuations in his body, and wanted to attack James in front of an official mage.

Irene knocked on the table, and a huge amount of magic came crashing down. She said, "Get out. This is not a place for you to be so presumptuous. "
