Trish closed her notebook, satisfied as she looked over the densely recorded contents.
Compared to the Black Mist School, the courses at the Crystal Tower are not only more systematic but also cover a wider and deeper range of fields.
Public classes are offered almost every week, and the required Magic Stone Fragments are astonishingly few.
At the Black Mist School, attending such a class would require at least five Magic Stone Fragments as tuition.
But here, only two are required, and some special public classes are completely free.
"The resource gap is truly worlds apart," Trish sighed softly.
Leaving the lecture hall, she followed the Crystal Corridor Bridge back to her residence.
The bridge is made of transparent crystal, hovering in mid-air, with tiered towers and gardens beneath her feet and rolling mountains and lakes in the distance.
After being here for several months, she has gradually adapted to the rhythm and rules of the Crystal Tower, yet the grandeur and wealth here still often astonish her.
As she passed by the Central Square, Trish's gaze was drawn to the enormous floating screen in the sky.
That is the candidate wizard ranking list of the Crystal Tower, updated daily.
Unlike the Black Mist School, the ranking system at the Crystal Tower is more open and motivating.
Once in the top ten, one can apply for the "Key" magic potion to attempt a breakthrough without having to wait for the ten-year judgment.
"Wind Listener, Eliot Wandell—ranked eighth."
Looking at this name, Trish couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
Despite Eliot's poor performance at the Bloodline Altar, he still remained in the top ten upon his return.
It is said that before, he even held the fifth position steadily for a time.
"If it weren't for that failure at the Bloodline Altar, he might have already applied for a breakthrough," Trish murmured to herself.
In comparison, her name ranked in the thirties.
For someone who has just recently advanced to the rank of an Advanced Apprentice, this is already quite a good achievement, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the top ten.
"If Ron were here..."
This thought flashed through her mind, and she shook her head slightly.
Ron Ralph—the genius whose growth speed is almost incomprehensible.
If he came to the Crystal Tower, it wouldn't take long for him to rise to the forefront.
After all, even in a place as resource-poor as the Black Mist School, he quickly ascended to a high-ranking position in the list.
In such a resource-rich environment, his progress would only be faster.
With these thoughts, Trish returned to her residence.
It was a luxury suite located on the thirty-second floor of the West Tower, smaller compared to the standalone cottages found in the Black Mist Jungle.
However, the facilities are more complete, especially the central practice ground, which is equipped with a full energy regulation system capable of simulating the flow of magic power in different environments as needed.
"Today's meditation plan..."
Corina hadn't returned yet, so Trish opened her schedule, preparing to start her afternoon cultivation.
Her master, being at the peak of Dawnstar, holds a certain status within the Crystal Tower.
Therefore, she benefited from a more favorable learning environment compared to other ordinary apprentices.
But for the bloodline heirs of the Great Wizard Clan and even the Crown Clan, this environment is nothing out of the ordinary.
She knows clearly that only by constantly improving herself can she stand firm in this highly competitive environment.
As Trish prepared to sit on the meditation mat, a small object in the corner of the room suddenly emitted a strange glow.
