Chapter 27: Audit (Part 2)

The somewhat bald wizard spoke slowly, his voice carrying a trace of depth:

"I also checked his destiny... it's very clean. Within the traceable time range, no traces of connection with any unknown powerful existence have been found."

Hearing this, other wizards couldn't help but cast envious gazes.

Whether it is time-type wizardry or destiny-type wizardry, it is exceptionally complex. This is a test that can only be performed by at least sixth-level wizards, more in-depth and harder to fake than the previous two items.

Even if everyone present is a genius who can rise to fifth-level wizards, there are differences between geniuses.

Obviously, this bald wizard is the one with the best talent among those present.

"What about the Dean's side?" A voice raised the last key question.

After the previous rounds of review, theoretically, Jie Ming's situation could basically be confirmed, but just in case, it still needed to be confirmed at the highest level.

And the so-called highest-level confirmation often needs to touch the origin of the plane.

This point can only be done by the Dean who actually masters the entire plane.

In the void, a piece of information without any emotional fluctuation, transmitted directly by powerful spiritual sense, responded to this question:

【Plane origin data has been checked. Within the last hundred years, there is no trace of any foreign high-tier life or high-tier energy invasion.】

Hearing this highest-level confirmation, the wizards present nodded.

The bald wizard then concluded: "Then, it can basically be confirmed that this apprentice is not a spy of other civilizations, or a pawn remotely controlled by an unknown powerful existence. Unless the existence that contacted him has a level exceeding a ninth-level wizard..."

Speaking of this, the bald wizard didn't have much reaction, but some of the other wizards couldn't help but laugh.

A ninth-level wizard, that is a legendary existence, the speaker who rules the entire wizard civilization, standing at the top of countless planes.

Because of certain reasons, theoretically, the power of a ninth-level wizard is infinite.

If there really is a powerful existence that transcends this understanding and condescends to control an apprentice, then even if they really found clues, they would have to pretend not to see them, and even cater to the other party's bad taste to play house together.

But it's a pity that based on existing theories, it is almost impossible for an existence that can transcend this level to exist.

So it can basically be determined that Jie Ming is not any spy or traitor.

However, at this moment, a voice broke the relatively calm conclusion.

"I heard that the properties of this material are very special, and even the wizards of the Deep Crimson Royal Court have been shocked, wanting to spend a lot of resources to buy it..."

Although not explicitly stated, the greed that could not be suppressed in the tone had already indicated the speaker's thoughts.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the secret room dropped to freezing point.

Mentor Clark—the wizard whose back looked somewhat bald—slowly turned around.

Although his face was still hidden in the shadows, his gaze penetrated the obstruction of the robe, like two cold sharp swords stabbing at the wizard who spoke.

His voice, at this moment, was no longer a deep inquiry, but carried a kind of undisguised mockery:

"Forcibly demanding the knowledge of a non-spy, non-traitor wizard?"

He said slowly, every word hitting the ground like an ice cube: "You want to openly violate the covenant established by the Star Orbit Arbitration Tribunal? If you are not afraid of being locked onto by the 【Dimensional Reduction Verdict】 of those nine Councilors, then... please, go ahead."

The wizard who made the proposal stiffened, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and instantly went out.

Star Orbit Arbitration Tribunal, a supreme supervisory body composed of nine ninth-level wizards.

Legend has it that they possess terrifying authority sufficient to modify reality, coupled with the infinite power represented by the ninth-level wizards themselves, it can be said to be the true ruler of the entire wizard civilization.

The original intention of the Arbitration Tribunal, besides balancing the balance of power between various factions within the wizard civilization, more importantly, is to maintain the right of wizards to hold and research their own knowledge.

Because in the eyes of the ninth-level wizards in the Arbitration Tribunal, whether it is an eighth-level wizard or a wizard apprentice, they are ants that can be pinched to death with one hand, so they can supervise most fairly.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Arbitration Tribunal that high-tier wizards cannot arbitrarily deprive low-tier wizards of their research results or forcibly obtain their core knowledge.

This fair supervision is the cornerstone of the wizard world's ability to constantly emerge with new knowledge and maintain vitality.

It is also the fundamental reason why the entire wizard world can constantly move forward and even conquer multiple planes.

Many wizards present had themselves enjoyed the protection of the convention proposed by the Arbitration Tribunal during their apprenticeship or low-level stages, and they knew the consequences of touching this red line.

A voice broke the silence with obvious mockery: "Don't make it look like you've discovered some shocking secret. That material is indeed a bit special, but it's just at the level of a fifth-level material, right? The anti-erosion is high, but the physical and energy resistance are so poor."

Saying that, his tone turned, carrying a pride that only peers could understand: "Which one of us present wasn't a genius back then? What counts as making a fifth-level material? What's more, here at our Nuolun Academy, isn't there still a super genius who made a sixth-level material during his apprenticeship?"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the wizards couldn't help but cast their gazes at Mentor Clark, whose back was somewhat bald, with complex emotions of awe, curiosity, and a trace of hidden fear.

Mentor Clark faced these gazes quite indifferently, and the face hidden in the shadows remained expressionless.

He looked at the picture of Jie Ming on the light curtain, his tone returning to the initial calmness and objectivity.

"Since it is confirmed that the apprentice is a genius, and his handling ability in a crisis is also qualified, able to judge calmly and act decisively, showing potential worth cultivating."

His tone paused: "Then, I propose to start the second-level cultivation agreement for this apprentice."

The second-level cultivation agreement means that the academy will invest more resources, provide better mentor guidance, a higher-quality cultivation environment, and more priority resource allocation to accelerate his growth.

Other wizards had no objections.

The threat was eliminated, the benefits could not be forcibly seized, and what remained was a genius worth investing in.

The reason they gathered here from the beginning was not because of some inexplicable material, but to confirm whether this person had investment value.

A round of silent voting was conducted among the wizards.

Soon the result came out, the proposal was passed with an absolute advantage, and even the wizard who had previously coveted Jie Ming's results voted in favor.

"Agreement started. Notify relevant departments to mobilize resources." Mentor Clark finally announced.

The light curtain slowly extinguished, the secret room fell into darkness, and the figures of the wizards gradually dissipated.
