Chapter 2817: Chapter 575: Arcane Throne, The Legendary Gargamel! (Final Day for Monthly Tickets)

"He had bad luck, reincarnating over 9,000 times within an ant clan, with the remaining 500 or so mostly as mortals and mortal beasts."

"Alright."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Osserrel’s reincarnations are what most people would consider normal.

Although this is a transcendent universe, 99% of the population is still composed of various mundane life forms in vast numbers.

Yet fortunately, after nearly ten thousand reincarnations, his return as a king has come.

At this moment, Levi believed even more deeply that an invisible hand was pushing everything forward in the dark, and that fate might be like a visible thread to a Supreme Existence; just pull one strand, and it could impact the whole scene.

So, Vicken’s emergence might be because Sauron, as the Arcane Emperor’s fellow, could have initiated it; it could be the Land of Darkness or a collaboration between the two.

Of course, it could also purely be luck. After all, Osserrel’s reincarnations were so tragic before, his accumulated goodwill might have exploded all at once.

Nobody can say for sure about these things.

"Greetings, Hall Master."

Both Vicken and his mother saluted.

"It’s fine. Vicken, study hard. What sect are you planning to choose?"

The sects in the Arcane Academy are divided differently from wizards, into eight major sects: the Prophetic system, Transformation Department, Shaping Energy Department, Spellcasting system, Protection Department, Necromancy, Enchantment, and Illusion Magic Department.

"Hall Master, I would like to join the Shaping Energy Department."

Vicken already had a plan in mind.

The Shaping Energy Department resembles the Elementalist School, yet there are differences.

"Very good, keep it up, I’ll be watching you."

Levi smiled slightly and left the scene.

He felt contented.

In the year 1500 of the Nora Calendar, another fellow returned.

In the following period,

after the Arcane Heart was introduced, it was immediately widely promoted.

Levi had the entire Ancient Dragon Continent undergo the corresponding talent tests to prevent another Vicken-like oversight.

This census-like screening lasted for a whole year and eventually did uncover a dozen people with good Arcane talent who were missed due to the testing crystal ball. They were all admitted by the Arcane Academy beyond the standard exception, for further advanced studies.

Overall, those who were overlooked were not many.

A case like Vicken’s is eventually rare. The overlap between wizarding talent and Arcane talent is significant, especially in the basic Machinery Heart; they’re exactly the same. Only in some areas of Special Talent are there slight differences.

After joining, Vicken displayed exceptional Arcane talent. Despite having the lowest elemental talent, he completed all the foundational courses for zero-circle Arcanists within a year, smoothly becoming a first-circle Arcanist. Naturally, such a swift progression also benefitted from improved environments and organizational focused training.

Of course, he did not abandon his knight cultivation either.

The Blood Knight had already paved a path with potential for a level-10, which was relatively certain and bright, whereas if the arcane path could reach level-10, it is yet to be known.

In any case, living in this era is Vicken’s good fortune.

The other members of the Arcane Academy, especially the old dean, felt more invigorated than before, seeing a bright future for the academy.

...

Two years later.

In the year 1617 of the Nora Calendar, and the 1505th year since the Blood Battle.

It was time again for the opening of the Dark Ancient Tower. Although the Netherworld Market was no longer open, Levi went to Hell first.

The efficiency of demon-hunting in Nora is too low now, so he might as well support the allied forces and gain some favor in the Underworld. It would make asking for favors easier in the future.

Of course, the main reason is that Leon’s appetite increased considerably after reaching the ninth level. Even a ninth-level soul could last only a few years before hunger set in, so stocking up on reserve supplies was necessary.

At present, the Nightmare World and the Abyss World are in a weird stalemate, resulting in no one from Nora prepared to enter the fray.

Levi knew this was merely a temporary peace and wanted to handle everything he needed during this time and then return to safeguard Nora.

Hell’s Eighth Layer.

Magic Mountain and the Red Spirit Prison diligently continued to protect the Purgatory Demon Sword.

Not long ago, the Dragon Descendant Giant of Magic Mountain advanced to the ninth level realm. It seemed to have found its opportunity in the Blood Battle.

Levi took this chance to communicate about the whereabouts of the Mountain Giant tribe. Magic Mountain said that its mother had been raised in the Black King Palace since she was young, leaving it unclear about tribe affairs; he’d have to visit the Land of Oblivion.

The Red Spirit Prison was at the Level 8 Peak Realm.

It understood its father’s good intentions; on one hand, to protect its brother, regarded as a supernova by Nora, and on the other, to have them progress on this battlefield favored by this era. Father seemed not to participate in the era’s tides but was clear about worldly affairs.

Outside Black King City.

The Owl Flame Wizard, clad in a black robe, was practicing sword skill, with the Purgatory Demon Sword giving guidance nearby. Upon seeing Levi’s figure, it showed joyful expression.

"Big brother, I thought you wouldn’t come."

"I’m here to hunt demons and see you. Not bad, Owl Flame is already a six-circle Perfection wizard, progressing quickly."

Owl Flame was reticent, but was deeply grateful to Levi for taking him out of the ancient tower, and could only repay him through diligent cultivation and demon-hunting.

The Purgatory Demon Sword said, "This kid’s talent is strong, with excellent will and character. If he perseveres and keeps the momentum, he might achieve Body Refining Great Wizard... our Body Refining Technique is ever-thriving, hahaha."

"I will work hard," said Owl Flame.

Inside the city.
