Chapter 229: Grace's Reward
"This is impossible—"
As an apprentice from a Wizard family, Luo - Yinhu actually knew the difficulties they faced even better than the commoner apprentices themselves.
Besides the objective material gaps like money, Witchcraft knowledge, and cultivation resources, the limitation of their horizons was an even greater restriction on the commoner apprentices' upward climb.
Courses related to 【Law】 were often offered as an elective course in the third year of apprenticeship, even though everyone knew that only by mastering 【Law】 would they have a chance to break through to Formal Wizard.
However, compared to commoner apprentices who could only learn some basic knowledge from textbooks, Wizard Apprentices from families who could directly access the power of 【Law】 through family channels—just the starting line alone meant the two were no longer the same.
Just like Luo - Yinhu, he had actually gained the opportunity to enter the Yinhu family's "Dream Realm" to comprehend the 【Nightmare Law】 since last year. Although he had not made any substantial progress yet, just this opportunity alone was something many commoner apprentices couldn't even dream of.
It was precisely because of this that those Wizard Apprentices who were struggling without a way to comprehend 【Law】 could only choose to switch to a different path in the end.
Studying "Bloodline Studies" and transforming their own bloodline into an alien race bloodline that matched their 【Wizard Talent】, thus transferring to the 【Warlock】 path and following the path of bloodline upgrading.
Compared to the Wizard path, the promotion route for Warlocks might be easier to operate.
However, this promotion route was too dependent on the potential of one's own bloodline. Once the potential was exhausted, the Warlock path would also come to an end, unless one's financial resources were sufficient to support the resources needed for a large amount of bloodline upgrading.
Through repeated "blood changes," if one could truly complete the atavistic evolution of the bloodline, then the potential of the Warlock path would also not be weaker than that of a normal Wizard.
It was just that the price one had to pay was also immeasurable for ordinary people—
"Hoo—" He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
After pulling his scattered thoughts back, Luo - Yinhu's gaze still fell on Jia Na in the Combat Training Ground. It was precisely because he knew clearly the various gaps between commoner apprentices and family-born apprentices that he was so shocked by Jia Na's ability to master the power of 【Law Shard】.
Even though he couldn't confirm it now, besides this explanation, nothing else could explain why Jia Na's 【Mind Enchantment】 Witchcraft could reach the extent of directly controlling the other party's "thoughts." "Bang!"
With a loud noise, under Niya-Flame's "sneak attack," Maluo-Haige, who had been entangled with the Flame Guardian, was directly sent flying by a punch, and then, like Andre-Green, fainted in the Combat Training Ground.
Seeing this, Bell-Moonshadow, who was already isolated and alone, had already walked out of the shadows and quietly looked at Jia Na behind Niya-Flame, letting out a helpless bitter smile.
"I surrender."
Bang—along with Bell-Moonshadow's surrender, Niya-Flame, who had been controlled by the 【Mind Enchantment】 Witchcraft, also fell heavily to the ground, similarly falling into unconsciousness.
"Clap clap clap clap—"
—Just as Jia Na was preparing to dispel the power of the contract and send the five contracted creatures back to the Spirit World, a round of applause came from outside the Combat Training Ground.
"This is the most exciting apprentice combat I have seen since I started teaching 【Black Magic Defense Class】."
The speaker was Grace-Eva, who was now standing on the Combat Training Ground.
Hearing this, after sending all the contracted creatures back to the Spirit World, Jia Na adjusted her expression and bowed to Grace-Eva with a smile.
"Thank you for your praise..."
Ding—The task completion prompt arrived as expected. As Jia Na raised her head again, she also silently recited system in her mind and quickly scanned the reward items on the task panel.
【Today's Task: Complete this Wizard combat challenge and achieve victory (Completed);
Task Reward: 200 points of Talent experience, 800 points of Skill experience, Constitution +0.3;】
"This time it's Constitution—"
Feeling the constant surge of warmth in her body, Jia Na, who could clearly feel her body becoming much "healthier," couldn't help but feel a little better.
"Clap clap clap clap—"
Perhaps it was because Grace-Eva had started it, the group of apprentices who had been paying attention to the battle situation the entire time also spontaneously began to applaud at this moment.
Especially those commoner apprentices who had always looked up to Jia Na as an example, at this moment, it was as if they were the winners standing in the Combat Training Ground, causing an unparalleled confidence to surge in their hearts at this moment.
"This combat challenge was very difficult, and at the same time, it is a very excellent case—"
Saying this, Grace-Eva's gaze turned to Jia Na not far away and continued:
"Therefore, in addition to the usual rewards for the number of questions asked, I will also, in my personal name, reward you with a special reward."
Saying this, a black notebook about the size of a palm appeared in Grace-Eva's right hand. Then, with a gentle toss, the black notebook, controlled by the 【Wizard's Hand】, landed in front of Jia Na.
"This is some of my summary and organization of the key elements of Wizard combat from my early years. Consider it a reward for this time, given to you."
Jia Na, who hadn't expected to receive any reward, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the black notebook in front of her when she heard Grace-Eva's words.
After all, compared to the inheritance of knowledge, combat experience often requires everyone to accumulate it through repeated "stepping on pitfalls."
Especially for someone like Jia Na who had no "master Heritage," Grace-Eva's reward gift could completely allow her to avoid many detours invisibly.
Moreover, if a sudden situation were to occur in the future, the experience and knowledge in this notebook might even become the key to Jia Na's survival.
"Thank you, Professor!"
After receiving the black notebook, Jia Na once again bowed solemnly to Grace-Eva, sincerely expressing her gratitude to the other party.
"You're welcome. It's just that you'll be responsible for healing their injuries later, don't leave any hidden dangers..."
"Okay, Professor."
After putting the black notebook into her thorn bracelet, Jia Na began to do the follow-up work according to Grace-Eva's instructions.
After two combat challenges, including Vivian who was still unconscious, Niya-Flame, Maluo-Haige, and Andre-Green, a total of four people were knocked unconscious by Jia Na.
If Bell-Moonshadow hadn't surrendered so decisively, maybe she would have been the next one to be knocked out...
