Chapter 490: The Master’s Response

The Land of Six Towers, Eric’s office.

After Eric learned that Locke had won the Yunze Cup, all his previous thoughts disappeared. Instead, he muttered to himself, “Alicia, I’ve made a good investment.”

“The success of such a project investment would make the Plutarch family very happy. Even I am convinced.”

“Perhaps, that little girl is really suitable to be the head of the family.”

Eric was thinking. “She has a sharp eye. It would be great if she could help me win a championship too. I don’t need to win a prestigious competition like the Yunze Cup, but winning something like the Guangying Cup or the Golden Cup would be great.”

Eric looked up at his son and his wife, the witch of the Basil family. Suddenly, he felt dissatisfied with his son, whom he had always liked. He felt that his son was far inferior to Alicia and the wizard she invested in, Locke Augustine.

“George, you’d better learn from Alicia and stop hanging out with your bad friends all day long.”

“It’s time for you to do some serious work. Alicia is already a first-ring gaseous stage wizard, and her magic power increases so rapidly every day. I think she’ll be able to become a liquefied stage wizard next year or the year after. And you’re still a wizard apprentice, while your wife is already a first-ring wizard.”

The witch of the Basil family glanced at the timid George and did not defend him. Instead, she said to Eric, “Lord Eric, my original plan to use my family’s help to seize power for us…”

Eric shook his head. “Now that Alicia has just completed such a large project, her prestige has skyrocketed. Even if your family fully supports me and attacks her, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, not to mention the impossibility of fully funding us.”

“So, let’s cancel the operation.” Eric waved his hand. “You don’t have to be so nervous. The winner of the Yunze Cup is a family member.”

“In a sense, this is good for us all.”

“Our previous fights were just minor quarrels among our family members, not a fight for life or death. Since my eldest sister’s faction is so powerful, from now on, we will just accept our status and wait to receive the benefits.”

At the same time, the major families in the land of the Six Towers also learned of this result. Because the great wizard Sura died and only his soul remained in the world, the major families that had already had disloyalty immediately gave up their original ideas.

Even the Basil family, which was originally ready to take action, immediately canceled all actions against the Plutarch family after receiving this news.

A crisis was resolved invisibly, as if it had never existed.

At the same time, the results of the Yunze Cup were also received in the southeast corner. After all, Harun Vera had been following this game.

At this time, Harun Vera was holding a student party. At the party, he received information about the Yunze Cup ranking from other wizards. He immediately slammed the table and stood up in the surprised eyes of the students.

Those first-ring wizard students all looked at Harlan Vera in surprise.

“Teacher, what happened? What made you so excited?”

Harlan Vera coughed and said, “I did lose my composure.”

“However, it is also because of this news that I am so surprised and happy. Your fellow disciple, Locke Augustine, has become the champion of the 10th Yunze Cup!”

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the projections of the first-level wizards at the gathering showed expressions of astonishment.

Many wizards present were potion masters or breeders, so they naturally knew that the Yunze Cup was a large-scale tactical magic plant competition. It was just that they had not been in Yunze before, so they did not watch the Yunze Cup commercial competition.

But they also know the value of the Yunze Cup and the difficulty of participating.

In the preliminaries alone, there will be a competition of twenty to select ten, and half of the best breeders in the twenty wizarding lands will be eliminated in the preliminaries.

In the finals, every wizard should actually be a strong one.

At this time, these seniors in the same school looked at each other in surprise. Being able to win the championship in such a competition showed that Locke had produced an undisputed tactical-level magic plant work.

A senior First Ring wizard said, “Junior Brother Locke is truly remarkable. He’s only been a First Ring wizard for less than two years, yet he’s already won the Yunze Cup.”

“That’s the Yunze Cup.”

Another first-ring witch’s eyes flashed with envy and admiration. “I also participated in the Yunze Cup, but I didn’t even make it past the second round of the Wizarding Land.”

Harlan Vera smiled and said, “Good, good, that’s great.”

“I will send congratulations to Locke on your behalf. Also, we can invite Locke to attend our future gatherings with fellow disciples.”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many first-ring wizards lit up. Many first-ring wizards participated in fellow disciples’ gatherings, not just to exchange information, understand the current affairs of various wizards, but also to meet promising fellow disciples.

At this time, after knowing that Locke won the Yunze Cup, many first-ring wizards wanted to make friends with Locke.

At this time, the projection of Wizard Anthony appeared in the gathering hall. Holding a glass of wizard liquor, Wizard Anthony said to Harlan Vera, “Teacher Harlan, did you know that our junior brother Locke actually won the Yunze Cup this time as a member of the Six Towers Land research team?”

“Because he won the Yunze Cup, my position in that family has become much more solid.”

Harlan Vera had calmed down by now and nodded slightly. “It’s normal for a super genius like Locke to achieve such success.”

“That’s what I expected.”

“He will go further in the future.”

Wizard Anthony smiled and said, “That’s right.”

“My fellow brothers and sisters, if you also want to come to the Six Towers, you can contact me. Just like Junior Brother Locke did.”

“This land of six towers has abundant resources, but lacks talent. We would rather give the resources to wizards outside than to civilian wizards inside.”

For a moment, interest flashed in the eyes of many wizards.

…

In the land of six towers, Locke quickly returned to the White Dragon Tower after landing, because he wanted to confirm the situation of the Plutarch family. At the same time, he also received a congratulatory message from teacher Harun Vera, and Locke quickly replied to teacher Harun Vera.

Inside the White Dragon Tower, in Alicia’s office, Locke looked at the great wizard Sura with a strange expression.

“Great Wizard Sura, you are not dead yet?”

The Great Wizard Sura, who had been beaming, twitched his face upon hearing this, and the smile vanished. He coughed, “What do you mean I’m not dead yet? Well, I am indeed dead. I just used a magic painting by a second-ring wizard, Speed Painter, to temporarily protect my soul, putting it in a special state that’s neither alive nor dead.”

“This state really can’t be called being alive.”

The Great Wizard Sura explained briefly. “Congratulations, Locke.”

The great wizard Sulla smiled again. “Our Plutarch family held a meeting overnight to discuss this matter. To commend you, we have prepared a special reward.”

Upon hearing this, Alicia immediately came over and said to Locke, “I brought it up at the family meeting.”

“As your financial sponsor, we, the Plutarch family, are very grateful to you for participating in the competition for our Six Towers Land and winning the Yunze Cup in the name of the Six Towers Land. As a token of gratitude, I will give you the Scorpion Lady Ring and the Primordial Flame as permanent gifts.”

Upon hearing this, the soul of the great wizard Sura waved his hand. First, the primordial fire placed on Alicia’s side flew up automatically. All the backup plans and restrictions hidden in it disappeared automatically, and then fell towards Locke in a completely clean state.

At the same time, the soul imprint deep inside the Scorpion Woman Ring on Locke’s right middle finger also disappeared.

The Scorpion Lady Ring exudes a faint magical glow. Because the restriction has disappeared, the true appearance and ability of the Scorpion Lady Ring, as a high-level magic weapon of the Plutarch family, are also exposed.

The Scorpion Woman Ring itself is a special family magic weapon inherited from bloodline. Its greatest function is to provide bloodline wizards with an additional spell pool formed by real blood.

This function is even more meaningful for wizards who are not proficient in bloodline studies.

Locke sensed it and found that inside the Scorpion Woman’s ring, there was a skill tree consisting of six common bloodline spells. As the great wizard Sura lifted the hidden restrictions, this magic ring finally unfolded all its functions to him.

Locke checked and found the Scorpion Woman’s Ring, which contained universal bloodline spells, three low-level and three high-level, a very complete set.

The three low-level universal bloodline spells are [Bloodline Frenzy], [Beast Body], and [Blood Flame], while the three high-level universal bloodline spells are [Blood Flame Arrow], [Coagulation Regeneration], and [Boiling Blood].

By using the Scorpion Lady Ring, you can use each advanced bloodline universal spell once and each ordinary bloodline universal spell three times a day.

The functions are very powerful.

Alicia moved a stool for Locke, and the two sat down to communicate. From the communication, Locke learned the functions of these six common bloodline spells.

Bloodline frenzy is just an ordinary frenzy spell.

The body of a beast can stimulate the latent blood power in the body and strengthen physical strength. If the blood power itself has the effect of strengthening the physical constitution, then the body can be strengthened again on this basis.

Blood Flame is also a common bloodline spell that Locke had encountered before, and Blood Flame Arrow is an advanced spell of Blood Flame, which Locke had seen the great wizard Sura use before.

The boiling blood will boil the blood throughout the body and strengthen the physical fitness again in a very short period of time.

Blood coagulation regeneration, on the other hand, burns the blood energy in the body to quickly heal wounds. This magic can even be used to regenerate severed limbs.

It can be said that the entire system of bloodline wizards are essentially melee masters. Everyone has a large number of general bloodline spells to enhance physical fitness, increase injury recovery ability, and spells such as blood flame to burn the opponent’s bloodline power.

Locke said, “It’s just like that. Two of the three drops of true blood in my body have duplicated the bloodline spell in the Scorpion Woman’s Ring.”

Alicia said, “That’s easy. I’ll just replace the two kinds of real blood you want for you.”
