Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 478: Chapter 476 Outsider Insider_2
 

“Everyone, think about it, even the main issues faced by the teleportation array have been resolved. With that being the case, who would dare to lightly say that this initiative is just for show?”

His words were logical and compelling, forcing one to follow his perspective and consider whether the current initiative was as he described.

“Sorcerer Ivan, may I ask a question?” Sang Dai ignored everyone else and looked toward the creator, Ivan.

“Of course,” Ivan nodded slightly.

“You must have conducted various tests beforehand. I venture to ask, what is the weakest creature that the space channels produced here can pass through?”

Sang Dai posed a very crucial question.

“3rd Class apprentice,” Ivan replied truthfully.

Sky Flow Valley is not only inhabited by Level 2 sorcerers and above, but there also exist Level 1 sorcerers and apprentices; people of different levels usually do not reside in the same area, and the weaker the individual, the greater the restrictions they face.

He always liked to achieve perfection. If that were not the case, the first version of the homecoming towers would have been completed several days ago.

“Really?”

“Really.”

Hearing this, Sang Dai took a sharp breath; it was indeed the epitome of perfection.

Allowing apprentices to traverse means there is sufficient leeway inside. Once the modifications begin, such as extending the distance and improving the Central Tower, there will be ample room for maneuvers, and progress will swiftly accelerate.

“It’s a pity I didn’t offer to participate earlier. Now I regret it too late!” Sang Dai sighed with a heavy tone.

Initially, when Ivan released a message to the outside world seeking like-minded people, Sang Dai had visited him and they had exchanged thoughts. However, Sang Dai had other research projects to attend to and did not ask to join.

Looking back now, it was undeniably a wrong decision, missing a grand opportunity to witness the birth of a great endeavor.

“Sorcerer Sang Dai, you flatter me.”

Ivan replied with a light smile; it seems he still found a connoisseur among his colleagues.

The main areas of research for the School of Space include energy gathering, spatial setup, and displacement.

This ‘homecoming tower’ incorporated all of those aspects, integrating various applications together to forge such a complete framework. Future research would only involve filling in the framework.

What gave him some consolation was that during the whole process, he only used some Light of Wisdom and did not involve the Light of Great Wisdom, which undoubtedly spoke of his profound knowledge base.

During this process, the Study of Planes had even advanced to a level 10 discipline, unexpectedly earning a portion of the Light of Great Wisdom.

“Sorcerer Sang Dai, in the upcoming time, we will work on deepening and expanding, transforming the homecoming tower into a true ‘Tower City,’ and gradually expanding the thousand-meter distance even further. This phase of research is equally vital and won’t be any easier. Could you possibly stay and lend us a hand?”

“It would be my honor.”

The two truly ‘hit it off’; as soon as Ivan extended the olive branch, Sang Dai eagerly caught it.

Some who saw this scene couldn’t help feeling regret, regretting that they hadn’t stepped forward before Sang Dai and consequently missed the best opportunity to join the research team.

More people, after hearing the earlier statements, were left puzzled yet found no grounds to counter Sang Dai’s words.

The more deeply they pondered those four points in his words, the more they could sense their correctness, leading to an epiphany.

At this time, Beiluo and Tempus felt this sentiment; with their understanding, they simply couldn’t find any flaws in it.

Their expressions turned somewhat unsightly, and after exchanging a glance, they made a new decision.

“Sorry, we were impetuous,” they said in the direction of Ivan.

“No harm done; perhaps you haven’t explored much in the field of space, and ignorance isn’t a sin after all. Consider it all a joke,” Ivan gracefully responded.

Seeing that he seemed to be hinting at something further, the two felt compelled to argue but ultimately chose not to say more.

His comment wasn’t an exaggeration; the overall impression of the School of Space could also be described as ‘all show and no substance.’

Knowledge of space never related to increasing power levels or achieving the title of Arcane Wizard, which disenchanted efficiency-minded sorcerers, not to mention those from prominent families.

Spatial research typically only brought about exceptional combat abilities. For people from major families like Beiluo, such methods were commonplace, so why not choose an approach that offered multiple benefits in one go?

Even Tanaya had barely touched upon spatial research, let alone other family scions whose talents weren’t as exceptional as hers.

“You’re actually fine, unlike some who, although being enchanters from the School of Space, speak as if they are complete outsiders; that’s truly a joke.”

After pausing a few times, Ivan continued, as if to offer comfort.

Although he did not name names, everyone present knew whom he was talking about and involuntarily looked toward a certain person.

At that moment, Tuya felt surrounded by mocking gazes and smirks of derision.

“You—”

His face turned crimson, but the words choked on his lips.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he didn’t know how to express himself. With his scarce knowledge of space, he indeed couldn’t list points like Wizard Sang Dai did.

In the presence of so many sorcerers, should he speak carelessly or cause a scene, it would only bring more disgrace upon himself.

Luckily for him, the other party only stared for a few seconds without persisting, which allowed Tuya to breath a heavy sigh of relief and make a mental note of it.

“Any other opinions from anyone else?”

After a brief pause, President Doradoli spoke again.

As time passed, there was still complete silence below, with not a single person stepping forward to agree or object.

“Ha ha, it seems that Wizard Sang Dai has pointed out everything already,” Doradoli laughed heartily, and Humor Selum beside him nodded in agreement.

Among the sorcerers present, Doradoli and Humor were undoubtedly the most knowledgeable.

Since these two recognized the four points from Wizard Sang Dai and approved of Sorcerer Ivan’s “Return Tower,” others had even less to say.

Afterwards, President Doradoli ordered everyone else to leave except for Ivan and his team, and also the newly joined Sang Dai.

After this crowd had left, the outer protection layer rose again, isolating this spot as an independent area, facilitating further research.

“Ivan, well done,” praised Doradoli generously.

“Indeed, you have surpassed our expectations,” Humor agreed.

“If it weren’t for the cumulative knowledge of Sky Flow Valley, just relying on our own strength, we definitely wouldn’t have progressed this far.” Ivan shook his head slightly.

Sky Flow Valley was considered one of the strongholds of the School of Space, where both knowledge and materials were plentiful.

Undoubtedly, this had provided them with great convenience.

Trying this at another place, they definitely wouldn’t have reached this step.

“Ha ha, nobody can erase your achievements, especially your own.”

“It’s our honor to have the recognition of you both, shall I now delve into more details about the ‘Return Tower’ for you?”

“That would be natural; it would be even better if we could experience it firsthand.”

“Next time, next time, see the second version.”

No side investigation, no matter how meticulous, compares to the thorough explanations from Ivan, the creator himself. The actual thing is even more tangible than the concept, making it completely clear.

Under Ivan’s introduction, both Doradoli and Humor gained a deeper understanding of this Return Tower.

“Ivan, what are your specific plans next, do you need more manpower?”

“There’s nothing else planned, just advancing step by step, trying to continually increase the teleportation distance, and integrating similar facilities like the Energy Gathering Tower and Protection Tower, striving to make the Return Tower truly live up to its name.

As for how far we can go, that will depend on our capability.”

“That makes sense, we will support you fully.”

“When we’ve done our utmost, it will then be up to all of you esteemed ones. If you don’t mind, please continue to deepen and expand along our achievements, striving to transform the Return Tower into a foundation for our sorcerer world sooner,” Ivan said openly, revealing his heartfelt thoughts.

He was very aware that what he could do was limited. To truly unleash the potential of the Return Tower, specialized arcane wizards had to intervene; only then could it be truly effective.

If he were to rely on himself alone, not to mention achieving it, the time and energy spent would be immense.
