Chapter 26: The Mentor's Promise

8 o'clock in the morning of the day.

Xia Zhou walked into the poison alchemy area.

Kulov put down the book he was holding, stood up from his soft couch, yawned, and took a sip of tea from his cup, then asked:

"How are you doing with those five basic textbooks on Ingenious Object Studies?"

"Professor, I have memorized them all."

Xia Zhou stood earnestly in front of him with his hands down.

Kulov silently smiled, in a "just as I expected" manner:

"Since you've memorized them, which field of alchemy studies do you want to learn next? Continuing with beginner-level poison alchemy, or studying the Ingenious Objects Studies you're interested in?"

I can choose my own course content?… Xia Zhou blinked, looking at his tutor somewhat surprisingly.

"After you passed the final exam, you are officially a student of the academy. You will be treated like the students with Innate Affinity.

"The philosophy of alchemy studies emphasizes interest first, then hard work."
