The tower master won’t support failures. Apprentices over thirty must leave the tower within a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to find him, go to Dorm 1016.\" After saying this, she tried to shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" Saul quickly blocked the door with his hand. \"Excuse me, Senior, were you the one who dealt with the body without wounds today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman seemed impatient. \"Yes, so what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That body was a bit strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She coldly mocked, \"I’ve already dealt with the dangers of it. The rest is your job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Saul to respond, she pushed the door to close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last moment, Saul quickly withdrew his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood outside the door, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the woman’s cold attitude, Saul didn’t take it to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people in the Wizard Tower were incredibly indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than expecting others' goodwill, it's better to make yourself stronger and let others fear you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul took two steps back, picked up the bone cleaver from the ground, and slowly walked back to his workstation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I learned something important.\" He wiped the blood off his hands. \"If I don’t become a third-rank apprentice by thirty, I’m finished. I’m twelve now, so I have eighteen years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, that’s too far away... I should just focus on passing the third month’s test first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t pass the test, or if he couldn’t deal with the ever-present Sid, then all future plans would amount to nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and by 7 p.m., the blue hourglass had run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul returned to his dorm and waited for Kongsha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat on his bed, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped tightly in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pale skin and bone structure were visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand was cold to the touch, the other numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that today, he would finally find out what Kongsha really wanted him to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were all these arrangements for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 1 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul vaguely heard sounds outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to open it and saw Kongsha, hooded, standing at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wearing a soft, robe-like dress, still exuding that seductive charm, standing there like a landlord who might suddenly come to surprise you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha, who had already been here once, walked straight to Saul’s desk and sat down, while Saul closed the door but didn’t move from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you standing so far for? I won’t eat you,\" Kongsha chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"eat\" she meant was definitely literal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Saul didn’t move, Kongsha didn’t rush him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed one leg and casually leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much mana do you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…4 joules,\" Saul lowered his head, putting on an expression of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh,\" Kongsha wasn’t surprised. In fact, she seemed pleased with the answer. \"So, you still insist on not taking the medicine I gave you? You only have two months left. Do you think you can raise your magic by 6 joules in two months?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul gritted his teeth, his hands trembling. After a long pause, he finally managed to speak through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, Senior, save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying these words, he let all his strength drain as if he had lost hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha’s lips curled up as if she was about to mock Saul, but then she seemed to think of something. Her expression softened a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you listen to me and behave well, I’ll make sure you don’t die in the test two months from now. And if you can do what I ask, I might give you other potions. They’ll help you push your potential without completely exhausting it. There’s even a chance you might become a third-rank apprentice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul suddenly looked up, his eyes shining with renewed hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, Senior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha smiled again, her expression gentler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, you don’t want to become a True Wizard anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul lowered his head, his cheeks flushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already know how hard it is to become a True Wizard… I just want to become a Third Rank Apprentice before I turn thirty, so I won’t be kicked out of the Wizard Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Kongsha’s expression flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A third-rank apprentice… of course, you must become a third-rank apprentice before thirty. I didn’t expect you’d know about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing something off with the Kongsha’s mood, Saul quickly glanced up before immediately looking down again, continuing to act as if he had already resigned himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha was currently a second-rank apprentice, and she didn’t look like a young girl in her teens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that she was also desperately trying to become a third-rank apprentice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha snapped out of her thoughts. She took out a small vial and threw it in front of Saul. Saul didn’t check it right away but hastily grabbed it, almost dropping it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the first potion. It only lasts a month, so you must drink it all within that time. After taking it, your meditation speed will greatly increase, allowing you to reach about 7 joules of magic before the test. The night before the test, I’ll come back and give you the second potion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second potion will temporarily raise your magic by 3 joules. You’ll definitely pass the test the next day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, this is your last chance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul held the vial. The liquid inside was clear, like pure water. \"Can I ask what’s the name of this potion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha laughed, \"Even if I told you all the ingredients, you wouldn’t be able to make it yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Kongsha didn’t know was that although she didn’t tell Saul, he still found out in another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>June 25, Year 314 of the Lunar Calendar, Sunny\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today is a good day. You obtained a bottle of \"Elemental Fairy's Ultimate Filth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gross… Are you really going to drink this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, as a wizard, nothing’s off-limits. Drink one drop, and your magic will recover quickly. Drink a whole bottle, and your magic will skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, drink a whole bottle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three years, you’ll become excellent magical material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul stared at the last line in the hardcover book, his eyelids twitching. He deliberately made a troubled expression, scratched his nose, and asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do I need to do before I can get the second potion, Senior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongsha sighed, stood up, and pressed her hands on her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked in front of Saul and, with a delicate, white hand, lightly traced Saul’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloudy liquid in the glass skull spilled forward, and countless eyeballs appeared, sticking to the glass, all staring intently at Saul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need the brain of a first-rank apprentice, preferably a second-rank apprentice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1126,"2026-06-05T22:22:08.591Z",1,"novelbin.me","c9c0b885313d417f85045bf1fa03536a998f19c0cb820fff449eeb90b064f719","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-35","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-33",1037,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdiary-of-a-dead-wizard-cover.jpg"]
