Chapter 305 Angele stayed calm during the practice match, not nervous in any way as the enormous hand approached him .
He himself knew he could dodge the strike if his speed was increased to the extreme . Even though the hand could deal around 90 degrees of damage, it was not fast .
The cooldown of the speed buff from the musical note was around five seconds . With Angele’s high attributes, he could deal serious damage in close combat and even had the confidence to survive an ambush of a rank 2 wizard .
When combining the speed buff with the illusion ability, Angele had the potential to become a top-class assassin .
Liv was a Gas stage rank 2 wizard who had many practical experiences from the battles she had fought for Vivian .
‘I’ll be able to even more damage if I have a stronger weapon . The best option is to find a concept gear, but I’ve only seen it once in my life…’ Angele turned around and jumped off the platform as he thought . He walked back to the hallway and headed back to the living room .
Liv stood up slowly and watched Angele leave with her eyes narrowed . No one knew what she was planning .
*****************************
Three days later, in the morning .
Inside one of the bedrooms in the mansion .
Yellow carpet, yellow walls, yellow sofa, chair, table, curtains, and a large bed .
The bright sunlight went through the gaps of the curtains and illuminated on the floor .
Angele sat on the bed with his legs crossed . His face was covered completely by a plain black mask formed by black smoke .
*Thud thud*
He heard someone knocking on the window .
The mask slowly disappeared from Angele’s face . He took a deep breath and looked at the window .
A small bird with golden feathers was flapping its wings while hitting the glass with its beak .
The golden bird was surrounded by a golden glow, but its eyes were red and looked like two rubies .
Angele’s brow knitted . He got off the bed and walked to the window . He was wearing a long white robe .
*KA*
The window was pushed open .
The golden bird flew into the bedroom and landed on the windowsill .
Angele searched under the bird’s wings and found two small brown scrolls that were tied up by two red strings .
He untied the red string of the first scroll .
‘Wizard Green:

The last line was an address .
‘Head to Sherry Forest for the advanced meditation technique . Go find the no . 1086 tree root . ’
Angele put the scroll into his pouch carefully and opened the other one .
‘Missions available to you . Expiring in a month . ’
The first line was just an introduction .
Angele kept reading .
‘Your mission point: 3 . ’
‘Mission no . 158: Kill the escorts of the Baby Grass . 10 points . ’
‘Mission no . 159: Investigate the Zombie Cloud Swamp . 15 points . ’
‘Mission no . 244: Kill the betrayer of the organization, Remi Style, a rank 3 wizard . 42 points . ’
Angele’s expression changed . It was impossible for him to kill a rank 3 wizard alone .
‘Mission no . 771: Use the hints in the book called If you forget me and find the ancient altar of the hydra . 50 points . ’
‘Mission no . 795: Kill one of the five wizards on the list made by Pander . 20 points for each confirmed kill . ’
‘Mission no . 802: Concoct one serving of the Poison Cloud potion . 10 points . ’
Only one of the six missions listed on the scroll was a potion crafting mission .
The Poison Cloud Potion was famous in the Potion Study . Angele heard about the potion before and he knew how hard it was to concoct just one serving of it . The success rate was lower than 1% for the majority of potion masters .
However, the power of this potion was incredible . It could turn a large area into a poisonous land that could kill all the creatures within the effective range . The poison cloud would last for about three days .
The effective area was decided by the amount of the potion used .
According to the information recorded in the books, it was nearly impossible for rank 1 and 2 wizard to concoct a Poison Cloud potion . Only a rank 3 wizard had the required amount of mentality and energy that would be consumed during the process .
The difficulty level of the potion concocting process was determined based on the requirement of mentality and energy . Some of the rare potions did not require a lot of techniques but they could only be concocted by potion masters that were at the higher ranks .
In another word, strong potion masters were usually high-rank wizards . There were so few of them that all the large organizations would try their best to recruit them .
Angele narrowed his eyes . He thought that the potion concocting mission might be a challenge from the Dark Wizard Tower . If he could successfully complete the mission, he might be promoted in the organization .
It was the only mission related to the potion concoction, and he was recruited to the organization as a talented potion master .
However, he was a Crystal stage rank 1 wizard and he had not met the basic mentality requirement for the potion yet .
The trials of the Dark Wizard Tower were all difficult which made Angele feel a bit uncomfortable . He did not understand why it was so hard to get promoted .
But at the same time, he wanted to know what the benefits were for the high-ranking members .
He hesitated for a while then he tapped on the last mission with his right index finger .
*CHI*
Several green light dots flashed on the tip of his finger .
A green seed appeared on the scroll from nowhere sprouting like crazy; its tender shoot was becoming longer .
Several seconds later, the seed turned into a green vine .
The vine slowly climbed up Angele’s body which expanded as it moved around . The vine was getting longer and longer .
Vivid green buds emerged out of the vine’s surface .
*CHI*
Angele remained calm . Blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes . He raised his right hand and found a ring with an amethyst on top from one of the flowers .
The ring was made of silver and there were complicated flower patterns engraved on its surface . The amethyst on top had the shape of an eye . It was beautiful and mysterious .
*CHI*
The vine and the flowers withered after Angele took the ring out . They dropped to the carpet turned into black ashes and vanished into the air, leaving no trace behind .
The golden bird swung its wings and left the windowsill .
Angele held the ring in hand and started thinking .
************************
He spent some time checking the ring, then he retrieved the mission information that was stored inside it .
Angele had reached the Crystal stage not so long ago and just acquired the bloodline of the scorpion woman .
He needed to progress further with the advanced meditation technique in order to advance to the next rank .
He had some trouble with the Mask of the Black Wing which caused his progression to become slow . Angele could barely feel the effect of the meditation and he had to do it when he was well-rested . The procedure was totally different when compared to the regular meditation technique .
He doubted if Henn told him the truth about the advanced technique .
Zero did the analysis and told Angele the requirement for advancing to the next rank .
First, he needed to increase his mentality to 120 .
A special technique that could help stabilize the second mentality crystal was also required as the first mentality crystal would interrupt the process .
It was the natural reaction of the mentality crystal, but it must be dealt with .
The critical step was to infuse the mentality with elements . If the process could be completed before the second mentality crystal was created, Angele would have a much higher chance to advance to the next rank . However, the infusion was extremely difficult as he needed to level up the advanced meditation technique first .
The gifted wizards could skip this step, but Angele’s talent level was below average .
The talent of an apprentice could be improved using special techniques, but the wizards never understood why some people were born with high talent level .
After the apprentices became formal wizards, their progression speed still varied . Some wizards thought it was related to the meditation technique, but some thought the strength of the souls was the main reason .
Thousands of experiments were completed on the subject, but no one had reached a valid conclusion yet .
Angele once asked Vivian about the ranking system of the wizards .
He learned that from rank 1 to rank 3, the wizards needed to create three mentality crystals and they usually came with a slot to support more Talent Spells . However, to advance to rank 4, there would be special requirements .
However, Vivian did not tell Angele about the special requirements, she changed the topic when Angele tried to dig deeper .
Creating mentality crystals required a high mentality level and the impurities must be removed .
The unstable energy waves released by the impurities would impact the creation or solidification process of the mentality crystals . The fundamental principle was still the same . The higher a wizard’s rank was, the higher his mentality level would be .
