"You want to take me as your student!" Villan bit his lip, and eventually shouted out the most unlikely, yet only answer.

Lor, who was turning around halfway, stopped, withdrew the spiritual power immersed in the Sea of Consciousness, and a smile reappeared on his face as he nodded, "Congratulations, you answered correctly, but if you want to become my student, there are a few small challenges you must face. Are you willing to face them?"

"I am willing!" Villan shouted with all the strength he could muster, without a moment's hesitation.

At this moment, he felt his heart pounding like a drum, and his whole body was boiling with excitement.

The answer that seemed most impossible to him turned out to be true!

Speaker Lor really wanted to take him as a student!

If this was a dream, he would be willing to stay drunk in it forever.

"Well, then I'll give you two more challenges."

Lor said gently, "The first challenge is to optimize the Flame Wall to 0.7 rings within a year."

"The second challenge is to realize my conjecture on the Volcanic Eruption Witchcraft Model within ten years."

"The support I will provide is that you can collect one hundred thousand Magic Crystals from the resource department each year, until the end of ten years."

"Yes, I will surely complete the challenges!" Villan shouted firmly as he looked at Lor.

"Alright, good luck." Lor patted Villan on the shoulder without lingering, and directly left using the Earth Vein Traveling Technique.

If Villan could complete his challenges, then his second student would be confirmed.

If he couldn't complete them, then it would just mean they didn't have fate together.

After leaving the apprentice area, Lor headed straight for the top-floor bedroom of the Wizard Tower. Recently, before Agular found him a new student, he temporarily had nothing to do.

He wouldn't need to make an appearance until the start of the Grand Council early next year.

During this free time, he planned to calm his mind and continue supplementing the Power of Origin.

Currently, there was only one-tenth of the Power of Spatial Origin in his Origin Container.

...

Five and a half months later.

A new year is approaching, and the Grand Council is about to convene.

During this time, all Earth and Fire Faction wizards, as well as apprentices from the Earth, Fire, and Space factions, had moved into the Wizard Tower.

Now, Lor's Wizard Tower development had gotten on the right track, and the three assistant professional guidance teams sent by Ron played a significant role in this matter.

For this, Lor specially sent a message to thank Ron, which made him feel very flattered.

Another trivial matter was that, including Jerald, many Speakers invited Lor to help them complete some experiments that required entering the Deep Layer Space.

Lor did not refuse these invitations but postponed all of them until after the Grand Council.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness space, the Origin Container.

"Whew—"

Lor's spiritual power carried a trace of the Power of Spatial Origin back from the Sea of Origin, and all the Power of Spatial Origin was poured into his Origin Container.

This Power of Spatial Origin had no room to struggle and was instantly suppressed and refined, sinking to the bottom of the Origin Container.

"It will take more than thirty years to fill it, time is really not enough." Lor thought with some sentiment, looking at the barely increased Power of Origin after nearly half a year of efforts.

When he had just condensed the Origin Container, it would have only taken thirty years to completely fill the empty Origin Container.

But when he advanced to the Fourth Ring, the advancement of three core Witchcraft Models integrated into the Origin Container caused the container to expand, and it would take more time to fill it.

Of course, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

More Power of Origin meant more room for error.

"The Grand Council should be starting soon. I still need to cooperate with those guys to do experiments later; I will be busy for a while, so I must put this aside." Lor muttered to himself as his spiritual power returned to his body.

He took out the Continent Communication Device from the Space Ring and took a glance, and immediately caught sight of a communication invitation from the Grand Council.

He glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall and then at the specific start time of the Grand Council on the Continent Communication Device, finding there was still an hour before the official start. So he didn't rush to accept the invitation but instead began browsing other messages.

Most of these messages were sent by Agular and Kateya, with a small portion being experiment invitations from other Speakers.

After replying to these Speakers with the specific experiment times one by one, Lor began reviewing the messages from Agular and Kateya.

The vast majority of the messages were daily trifles reports, which Lor merely skimmed through and skipped.

Only Agular's messages, which included movements of prospective student Villan over the past few months and two new apprentice recommendations, did he read carefully.

"This kid Villan is impressive, isn't he? In less than half a year, he managed to optimize the Flame Wall to 0.7 rings?" Lor's lips curved slightly as he watched the video attached to the message, showing Villan releasing the optimized Witchcraft Model's 0.7 ring Flame Wall in the experiment submission area.

Villan's released Flame Wall had an optimization direction that was quite innovative.

The originally flat Flame Wall was now covered with spikes, becoming more menacing, also indicating the strong progressive spirit of the witchcraft optimizer.

"Very well, you've passed the second challenge. Next, let's see if you can fuse the small-scale volcanic eruption witchcraft in nine years." Lor thought to himself, "As long as you manage to fuse it, you will be my second student."

With a hint of expectation, he closed this message and turned to look at the other two new apprentices recommended by Agular.

"Hmm, in terms of initial performance, these two aren't much different from Villan, considered ordinary genius level." Lor nodded, "Anyway, there's still time, let's meet them first."

Learning and inheritance do not require an extraordinarily outstanding talent, as long as patience, rationality, and wisdom meet the standards.

Lor didn't expect these students to surpass him in the future, allowing him an opportunity to lie comfortably under an umbrella propped up by his own students like Agular.

His positioning of these students was to help him handle three significant areas of work.

Therefore, there was no need to wait for the birth of some prodigy; as long as they were adequately suitable, that was fine.

The first one Lor went to meet was an eight-year-old purple-haired little girl, who was utterly stunned when she saw Lor.

Even with Lor's hint, she still stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

There was no doubt that Lor could only choose to give up on her.

Calmness is a trait embodiment of the heaviest portion of rationality, and this child... seemed to have none at all.

After eliminating the first one, Lor went to see the second apprentice recommended by Agular, a seven-year-old blond little boy.

When he saw Lor, he didn't lose his composure.

However, even with Lor's hint, he still didn't dare to say that he suspected Lor came to take him as a student.

Lor knew very clearly that he had thought of that possibility, but he just didn't dare to say it.

Their teacher-student relationship was ended due to his timidity.

Choice is a significant trait embodiment of wisdom, and this child made a wrong choice.

"Even when I've lowered my requirements so much, it's still challenging to find three students." Lor sighed as he returned to the top floor of the Wizard Tower, and after sending a message to Agular to inform him of the result, he directly accepted the Grand Council invitation.

Pillars of light connected and unfolded in front of him, with varying sizes.

There were currently eleven large pillars, representing the Speakers.

The smaller pillars totaled two hundred and fifty-seven, representing all the current Legislators of the Wizard Alliance.

"Greetings, Speaker Lor."

"Haha, Speaker Lor has arrived."

"Speaker Lor, don't forget the experiments we agreed on before. I'll come to you after the conference ends."

"Speaker Lor, don't forget my experiment too."

"Mine too."

"I..."

...

As soon as Lor appeared, the Legislators greeted him, and the Speakers took turns reminding him not to forget the experimental agreements they had set before.

"Rest assured, everyone, I won't forget. You all should come. Once everyone is here, I will hold a grand banquet." Lor said with a smile.

These people were as good as gods of wealth, sending him countless Magic Crystals accumulated over time, fat and abundant.

This time, no matter what, he must extract some more, awaiting the arrival of players and using it as quest rewards.
