Men cannot say it's not possible.

Especially when someone says it's not possible right in front of you.

"I know, Wang Ye, you mean well."

Being stared at by Wang Ye with such a look, Zhou Ke still had to helplessly explain to Wang Ye, "It's just that the situation the Wei City Mage Guild is facing now, I know better than anyone..."

"Just state the conditions directly!"

This time, Wang Ye's attitude lacked the previous respect, the previous tact; all that remained was determination.

No more nonsense!

You're here saying I can't do it, yet want to act innocent?

Zhou Ke took a deep breath, knowing Wang Ye's character well. Since Wang Ye had already made up his mind, he wouldn't give up until he saw a result, so Zhou Ke had no choice but to speak:

"First, a Second Rank Sorcerer must appear in Wei City Mage Guild."

"Second, the Wei City Mage Guild must rank in the top three in the Guild's competition."

"Third, this year, the Wei City Mage Guild needs to recruit fifty Seventh-Rank Sorcerers, forty Sixth-Rank Sorcerers, and thirty Fifth-Rank Sorcerers who have passed the scrutiny."

When Wang Ye heard the three conditions, his eyebrows had already furrowed slightly.

The first two conditions, for Wang Ye, were actually quite easy to meet.

If he exerted himself a bit, he might even pull it off.

But the third condition...

Even for Wang Ye, he couldn't simply bring in so many people to help Zhou Ke.

"How many people has our Wei City Mage Guild recruited this year?" Wang Ye was still trying to negotiate.

This time, Tian Hailin, standing nearby, was the first to speak:

"I know, there are fifteen Seventh-Rank Sorcerers, seven Sixth-Rank Sorcerers, and as for Fifth-Rank Sorcerers..." Tian Hailin paused, seeming to gauge Zhou Ke's emotions, glanced toward him, and then continued: "none."

Wang Ye: "..."

Alright.

Wang Ye was just thinking maybe there was a chance of salvage, but now he realized that even if he tried, it might not be salvageable.

But Zhou Ke's voice sounded again:

"These conditions don't all have to be met one hundred percent; accomplishing two is enough. Even if the other condition isn't fulfilled, it isn't really a big deal."

Wang Ye: "..."

At that moment, Wang Ye felt an instant fatigue.

Couldn't the words have been said all at once?

Wang Ye straightened his posture; compared to his previous helplessness, he suddenly became energetic, and his tone was full of vitality:

"In this situation, completing the third condition is basically impossible, but as for the first two conditions, I can accomplish them."

Zhou Ke and Tian Hailin turned to look at Wang Ye sharply.

Under their surprised, inquiring, and hopeful gazes, Wang Ye nodded with confidence.

He had only used less than three months to increase his own realm to the peak of the First Grade Cultivator's level in Spirit Star, and if it weren't for pursuing too much, he might already have advanced to half-step into Fusion Realm.

Could it be there's no way he could advance to a Second Rank Sorcerer?

...

In the Scripture Pavilion of the Wei City Mage Guild.

Zhou Ke, Tian Hailin, and Wang Ye were all sitting on the first floor.

As for the other people in the Scripture Pavilion, Zhou Ke had cleared them out.

In fact, there weren't many people in the Wei City Mage Guild's Scripture Pavilion anyway.

Due to the not-so-large space of the Wei City Mage Guild, reading in the Scripture Pavilion wasn't supported; the magicians would leave immediately after borrowing books.

A slight delay wouldn't have a significant impact.

At this moment, Zhou Ke looked at Wang Ye with a hint of unease in his eyes.

On the other hand, Tian Hailin looked at Wang Ye with full trust.

Knowing less, Tian Hailin sometimes viewed issues more purely.

Zhou Ke, however, was different.

Although Zhou Ke had always trusted Wang Ye, even willing to hand over his juniors to him in battle, he had some hesitation about Wang Ye's words this time.

He wondered if Wang Ye's confidence came from his rapid advancement in the path of a cultivator, leading him to believe that magicians' progress was equally effortless.

Zhou Ke sighed and said to Wang Ye:

"Wang Ye, I don't want to undermine your confidence, but I still have to tell you that the path of a magician is different from that of a cultivator."

"In cultivation, much depends on inheritance and destiny. Sometimes, when inheritance and destiny align, one's strength can increase dramatically in a short time, but the path of a magician is not the same."

"For example, you knew about the relic left by Senior Zhou. Without some perception and ability, one couldn't gain anything from the relic."

"So, while I acknowledge how quickly you've progressed in cultivation, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll achieve the same in the magician's path."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier for those who wish to study magic to cultivate first, gain longevity, and only then practice magic?"

Wang Ye paused.

Meeting Zhou Ke's gaze, Wang Ye cautiously replied, "Actually, what you're saying might not be a bad idea."

Zhou Ke: "..."

"Alright."

Wang Ye stopped his joking and, with a serious expression, said to Zhou Ke, "Chairman Zhou, you have nothing to lose letting me try."

"Besides, if my level rises in the future, up to the half-step into Fusion Realm, and I ask for a chance to open a mage guild at Wei City Mage Guild from the Sorcerer's Headquarters, won't they grant it?"

Wang Ye's words transformed Zhou Ke's expression, as if he had opened a door to a new world, suddenly feeling more at ease.

Indeed.

These were issues he hadn't considered before because, in Zhou Ke's mind, magic-related problems should be resolved by magic.

But now, prompted by Wang Ye, Zhou Ke realized that wasn't the case.

Letting Wang Ye try, even if he failed, what would be the harm?

Initially, failure seemed a given.

And Wang Ye might not necessarily fail; what if he succeeded?

Even if he failed, so what?

As long as the relic wasn't repaired, the Sorcerer's Headquarters wouldn't realize the treasure lying in wait at Wei City Mage Guild.
