Chapter 94: Convergence

"How is the situation on your side?" Jie Ming asked.

"I have no problem here, luck is not bad; when I came in, I was very close to Victor, and now the two of us have converged, and we can find you soon!"

Amy's voice came from the communication wizard tool, and then Victor's voice coming from beside her could be clearly heard.

"But Jie Ming, be careful; just now when the two of us converged, an explosion suddenly occurred nearby. If we hadn't kept the defensive wizardry on, it would have been dangerous just now." Amy's voice was full of lingering fear.

"I didn't expect this plane to be so dangerous; still have to be careful and cautious."

Just now?

Explosion?

Clicking on the screen of the communication wizard tool, looking at the distance between the two sides, and comparing the trajectory of the energy bullet just now, Jie Ming's eyelids jumped.

"Jie Ming?"

After a long time without hearing a response, Amy asked a question in confusion.

Glancing at the behemoth corpse that was crumbling beside him, Jie Ming coughed dryly, pretending nothing happened:

"It's better for me to find you; my movement speed is faster. Is it safe around you? If it is safe enough, stay there and don't move; I will find you immediately!"

"Should be no problem; the explosion just now seems to have scared away the beasts around..."

"Good! I'll be there soon!"

Without waiting for any reaction from Amy's side, Jie Ming decisively hung up the communication, activated the mobile-type rune wizarding tool, and ran toward the direction of the coordinate point just now.

The primitive forest in the eastern part of the Eloxia continent was filled with a wild and complex aura.

Today, this jungle was much livelier than usual, and new screams and explosion roars came from time to time in the distance.

Jie Ming didn't waste time, quickly locked onto two familiar light spots through the Shimmer Eye—Amy and Victor.

They were not far from him, leaning against a giant tree, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, obviously also waiting for something.

"Amy! Victor!"

The familiar voice sounded in the chaotic forest, making Amy turn her head suddenly.

Seeing Jie Ming walk out from the shadow of a huge ancient tree, the two of them, who had been tense, finally relaxed quietly.

"Jie Ming, you are also fine! Great!" Amy rushed forward, surprise in her eyes.

Victor also staggered over, his face a bit pale; it looked like he was affected by the explosion just now: "You finally came!"

After the three converged, Jie Ming's gaze swept over the two; Amy's clothes were a bit messy, obviously having just experienced a battle.

Victor was a bit sorry; the wizard robe behind him was torn, and there was a lot of dust on his body, but fortunately, there were no wounds on his body; it looked like he was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"It's not suitable to stay here for long; it's too conspicuous." Jie Ming nodded to the two and said quickly, "Leave here first and find a place where we can stand."

The two naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Jie Ming relied on the real-time map fed back by the Shimmer Eye to guide the two to shuttle between the dense forests, avoiding most dangerous areas.

Along the way, he could occasionally hear the roar of wizardry and the wail of magic beasts in the distance, indicating the chaos that the apprentices were experiencing.

After walking a short distance, the three found a hidden cave to rest temporarily.

Easily solving the original owner of the cave, they made some cover at the entrance and lit a fire.

The faint firelight reflected on their faces, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

"What are we going to do next?" Victor spoke first.

Among the three, Amy and Victor were very good at cooperating with others, so they took the initiative to propose.

"This plane is far more dangerous than we imagined." Amy also lowered her head and thought: "And this plane has not been completely mastered by us, and high-tier creatures may appear at any time. We are all Tier 3 apprentices now; this strength is too dangerous in this world."

Jie Ming leaned against the rock wall and nodded in agreement: "That's right, so the top priority has two primary tasks."

He stretched out two fingers, "First, find the wizard's main force. You should have seen the situation just now; the external channel of this plane should be completely controlled by those gods, so in case of emergency, the only possibility for us to leave is to rely on the stable teleportation array established by the main force."

"I agree with this. Rushing in rashly will only cut off our own retreat, which is the most stupid behavior." Victor immediately echoed, "And with our current strength, we will lose our lives if we are not careful in this plane; finding the main force, at least we can have support and also supply."

"Second point..." Jie Ming's tone changed, carrying a trace of caution, "is to advance to a Tier 1 official wizard."

Because of the contract restrictions signed when they joined the academy, in order to improve themselves as much as possible, apprentices basically maintained the level of Tier 3 wizard apprentices until the ten-year period expired before choosing to advance.

So the apprentices participating in the assessment this time, one by one, were all Tier 3 wizard apprentices, and they were the kind who had settled at this level for many years.

Amy was stunned, and then understood: "Advance? That's right..."

Victor didn't have much reaction upon hearing this; it was obvious that he had already thought about related matters:

"Indeed, it was because of the contract restrictions that we didn't advance to Tier 1 official wizards before, but in this environment of total war, the contract restrictions are not impossible to be flexible."

Jie Ming also nodded: "The workshop's assessment lasts for a whole year; obviously it had already anticipated this step. We are all Tier 3 apprentices now; advancing to Tier 1 wizards can greatly improve our combat effectiveness."

Even without adding new knowledge, there is an insurmountable chasm between a Tier 1 official wizard and a Tier 3 apprentice.

Spiritual power reserve, control intensity, the influence threshold of elemental activity, and the natural purification of wizardry models...

These are advantages that the apprentice level cannot compare to.

Even for Jie Ming, his combat effectiveness had a considerable leap after advancing to a Tier 1 official wizard.

Facing a real plane war, one's own strength is the most important.

"So, the direction of what we are going to do next is clear." Jie Ming summarized, "One is to find the wizard's stronghold or main force, and the other is to advance to a Tier 1 official wizard... Have you prepared the advancement potion?"

"Prepared is prepared, but not carried with me." Amy's face was a bit distressed.

After all, they were going to a new plane, and without a spatial ring, the supplies that every wizard apprentice could carry were limited.

Moreover, most apprentices had thought that the content of this assessment was probably a plane war before coming here, so it was even more impossible to bring advancement potions.

It was just that they didn't expect the time of this assessment to last for a whole year, so many apprentices were indeed underprepared. ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
