Chapter 54

54 – Soul Aptitudes and Warlock Path’s Choices

Any items related to Warlocks were unreasonably expensive, the Apprentice Warlock’s Changpao without any defensive ability nor appearing to be particularly magnificent was worth around 300 Gold Coins, ordinary people were simply unable to afford it.

Anya suddenly said: “Yang Feng, if you really desire to tread farther on the Warlock Path. I recommend you look for the book {Soul Attributes and Warlock Path’s Choices}.”

Yang Feng said with a faint smile: “Then give me a copy of {Soul Attributes and Warlock Path’s Choices} as well as all the spell books with level-0 spells.

Black Cottage also had a lot of spell books with level-0 spells. However, Black Cottage’s spell books definitely couldn’t compare to those of Warlock College Antalya. Currently Yang Feng had the airs of a wealthy person, as he basically didn’t worry about Magic Stones.

A trace of a blush welled up on Inna’s pretty face and her voice became a lot more gentle: “{Soul Attributes and Warlock Path’s Choices} is 500 Magic Stones per copy, spell books with level-0 spells are 20 Magic Stone per copy, currently there are 752 different level-0 spell books, that would be a total of 11,940 Magic Stones.

Ordinary Apprentice Warlocks were generally very stingy, they basically bought spell books one at a time. Furthermore, they specially chose those spell books that were useful to them, they simply wouldn’t buy any unnecessary spell books. Those Apprentice Warlocks that were being supported by Warlock Clans even dismissed level-0 spells.

Inna was here for so long, yet it was the first time that she encountered such a big deal. She could get a commission equivalent to one thousandth of the deal. With this deal, she and Anya could get 12 Magic Stone. Naturally it made her very excited.

Yang Feng took out a crystal card and inserted it into a box engraved with bizarre runes, he entered the value to be exchanged and 11,940 Magic Stones were deducted at once.

Inna’s voice become more and more sweet as she said: “Do You want to pick the items now or should we send You them by tonight?”

Yang Feng said: “Send them to my room by tonight!”

Aina said gently: “Yes!”

Yang Feng turned around and left the appraisal room for Apprentice Warlocks.

Inna looked at Yang Feng’s back, her eyes brimmed with jealousy and envy, she gave a faint sigh: “With an inferior level-1 soul aptitude, a 100 days, to promote to an Apprentice Warlock in merely a 100 days. The Steel Lord backing him is really wealthy! His life is so good.”

Anya’s beautiful eyes also flashed with a whiff of unwillingness as she whispered: “Yes, ah! If only I had one hundredth of his resources, then promoting to a level-3 Apprentice Warlock wouldn’t be an issue.”

One of the most important reasons for restricting the rapid growth of Apprentice Warlocks was Magic Stones. To purchase a Magic Stone required 135 Gold Coins, 3 Magic Stones were priced up to 405 Gold Coins. This huge sum of money was equivalent to the accumulated wealth of various generations of such a country-side lesser aristocrat like Zhao Jiang. Inna and Anya, they came from a Warlock Clan’s background, but their clans support them every year with only 10 Magic Stones. 1 level-0 spell book required 20 Magic Stone. They working hard for a year might allow them to exchange for only 2 level-0 spell books. Moreover, once one was promoted to an Apprentice Warlock, in order to buy a variety of knowledge from the teachers, it would require large amounts of Magic Stones. It was extremely difficult to get by in the realm of Warlocks without any Magic Stones.

Inna and Anya, they came from small Warlock Clans, spell books with level-0 spells were basically their clans inheritances, they wouldn’t buy them from Warlock College Antalya. But even if they carefully planned, the cost of buying a variety of knowledge was still oppressing enough that they were unable to breath.

Every year, one tenth of the student in the outer court of Warlock College Antalya would be eliminated, the main reason was because they were short on money and were unable to study all kinds of knowledge. In the inner court, in the same fashion, a lot a Apprentice Warlocks were eliminated because of a lack of Magic Stones.

There was a proverb in the realm of Warlocks, Magic Stones weren’t everything, but without Magic Stones one would have nothing.

Yang Feng attracted countless gazes when he entered Warlock College Antalya’s outer court while dressed in an Apprentice Warlock’s Pao.

An Apprentice Warlock appearing in the outer court was a very rare occurrence. Apprentice Warlocks, as inner court elites, were basically very busy, busy studying all kinds of knowledge and earning Magic Stones, very few would pay the outer court a visit.

“That’s Steel City’s Yang Feng! He was actually promoted to an Apprentice Warlock!!”

“How could that be? Wasn’t his soul attribute only at inferior level-1? How could he practice cultivation so quickly?”

“How could one practice cultivation so quickly with an inferior level-1 soul aptitude?”

“He joined Warlock College Antalya less than four months ago, in order to promote to an Apprentice Warlock, how many precious elixirs did he had to drink? The Steel Lord is so fond of him. His uncle really cares for him!”

Yang Feng was already a celebrity, Warlock College Antalya’s outer court hardly had any people that didn’t recognize him. Now even seeing him having promoted an Apprentice Warlock, those outer court students were brimming with jealousy and envy. As long as one wasn’t a fool, then it was obvious that the reason why Yang Feng could be promoted to an Apprentice Warlock in this short period and with an inferior level-1 soul aptitude, was because the ingestion of countless amounts of precious elixirs.

In fact, a bottle of Blue Mirage was priced at around 5,000 Magic Stones, moreover, one couldn’t buy it on the market. If he hadn’t ingested large amounts of Blue Mirage, Yang Feng basically wouldn’t be able to promote to a level-1 Apprentice Warlock in such a short time. The other students were still struggling for a few Magic Stones, while Yang Feng had already swallowed more than 250,000 Magic Stones worth of elixirs. 250,000 Magic Stones were enough to allow an Apprentice Warlock with superior level-5 soul aptitude to easily promote all the way until a level-1 Warlock, it was only natural for him to promote to an Apprentice Warlock after consuming such a large amount of resources.

Under those gazes filled with envy and jealousy, Yang Feng returned to his dormitory.

Gars, Bella, Iryna and Luka, after those four people got this information, they immediately hurried towards Yang Feng’s dormitory.

Gars was staring at Yang Feng with a complicated gaze, he had all kinds of mixed feelings in his heart as he congratulated: “Yang Feng, congratulations for promoting to an Apprentice Warlock and becoming an inner court elite!

Bella and the rest also stared at Yang Feng with complicated feelings in their gazes. Such a waste as inferior level-1 soul aptitude was more than a hundred times worse then theirs. For such a waste’s cultivation rate to pull so far ahead of them, the only possibility was that he ingested top-notch elixirs.

Yang Feng asked: “What about Leal?”

Gars said lightly: “He’s dead! During an adventure, he died under the curse of gremlins.”

Bella and the others, their eyes flashed with a touch of gloom.

Warlock College Antalya’s tuition fee was high, all kinds of knowledge required large amounts of Gold Coins to be paid. A lot of lesser aristocrats simply couldn’t afford such high tuition fees, they could only participate in some dangerous adventures to earn Gold Coins. That high tuition fee was like a natural barrier, it stopped a lot of ordinary people as well as a lot of lesser aristocrats from treading on the Warlock Path. If Yang Feng had holed himself up at Autumn-Leaf Village, then throughout his life, he wouldn’t be able to set foot on the Warlock Path.
