Chapter 5

Next Morning, He went to Kroft's and met Bicky and Merlin .Bicky showed him around the campus and help him introduce to all things.

For the next week, Leylin with the help of A.I.Chip had exceptional ability to learn and started taking Free lessons , he didn't bother with teaching anyone. His mission was to reach Level 1 Acolyte as soon as possible in order to start taking mission and began Potioneering.

...

"Almost there! I have a feeling that I will become a level 1 acolyte tonight!" After reaching level 1 acolyte, I will be able to move the energy particles in the air. Not only will I be able to resist the radiation from the academy's buildings, I will also be able to attempt to experiment with basic potion brewing!"

Leylin's eyes flashed with excitement, but very soon he recovered the magic crystals on the bed properly, exercising restraint. He then sat cross-legged on the bed and began the meditation for the day.

The air in the room quietened down, and only the faint sounds of Leylin's breathing could be heard.

Leylin's chest moved with an undulating pattern and his expression was serene, with only some restless movements beneath his eyelids.

After about an hour, several black spots of light radiated from Leylin's forehead, just like fireflies.

These light spots hovered around Leylin and finally entered his orifices. It looked a little eerie.

"Hu..."

After the black coloured spots of light entered Leylin's body, he felt his whole body shudder. The muscles on his face twitched, and large beads of sweat rolled down. Very soon, he returned back to having a peaceful state.

After some time, Leylin opened his eyes.

"I have finally advanced to a level 1 acolyte .It took me only a week to reach this level, it's equivalent to speed of a Fifth Grade Aptitude."

If he wanted he could have advanced even earlier, but in to divert attention he took his time, The advantages of a Forth Grade Aptitude in addition of A. I. Chip can be clearly be seen here. It took him only half the time that Feng Meng took.

Leylin snapped his fingers several times, and a layer of faint blue light lit up on his body.

What followed next was a layer of steam, which made Leylin's clothes wet.

"This is similar to taking a shower!" Leylin smiled, and then a layer of red light shone.

As Leylin's body was enveloped by the red light, water vapour emitted from his body. Very soon the water was all evaporated, and the room seemed to be a little humid.

"After becoming an acolyte, I am able to use these energy particles for simple daily activities, this is really convenient!"

Leylin exclaimed again, and asked, "A.I. Chip, have you recorded the processes earlier?"

[Beep! Recording done, please provide a name!]

"Simple usage of Water element and Fire elemental energy particles!] [Beep! The renaming is done, storing in data bank]

With the help of the A.I. Chip, Leylin had one of the best comprehension abilities for the usage of energy particles amongst the level 1 acolyte.

.....

The next morning, Leylin was filled with vigour as he got off the bed and headed to Mentor Kroft's experiment lab.

"Oh? This energy movement?"

The white haired Kroft was startled, and immediately looked at Leylin who had walked in, "Leylin, you have broken through!"

"Yes!" Leylin humbly lowered his head.

"It has only been ten odd days since you started meditating, it seems like your aptitude amongst the fourth-grade acolytes is outstanding, and it almost reaches that of the fifth-grade acolytes!"

Kroft smiled with gratification.

Kroft was delighted to know that in addition to Merlin, Leylin was also a great talent, After Leylin showed his desire to learn potioneering , he readily accepted and handed the yellow test tube to Leylin.

"This is yours now!"

"This? How do I use it?" Leylin looked at the test tube in his hands.

"Just drink from it directly!"

Leylin opened the wooden plug and poured the yellowish liquid into his mouth.He knew this has a very disgusting taste, so buckled up and pour it inside his mouth.

An obnoxious sewer stench infiltrated his senses, and the smell lingered in his nose. Leylin's face turned red, and tears even came out.

He barely managed to swallow it as he gasped for air.

Kroft's voice sounded.

"The information has already been transferred into your brain, do some more meditation after you go back!"

At this moment, Leylin discovered a block of new information inside his brain. A phrase appeared on the right side of the text, saying: "Elementary Potioneering"

"Alright! Today your task is to sweep Area 3, and also freeze all the Fire Ant Grass..."

Kroft handed out the tasks.

Leylin nodded his head and picked up the tools lying in the corner of the lab, and then headed to Area 3.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with his fellow apprentice, he moved to trading post and bought the essential equipment for potioneering and potion formulas.

Every day, he was shuttling to and fro between five places: the dorm, the dining hall, the Academic Area, the experiment lab and the library.

With his A. I. Chip , made remarkable progress and started to brew some potions and sell it to gain some Magic Crystals, He wanted to save enough for buying some spells and then venture outside.

.....

Finally Leylin was successful, but Alas he cannot sell it yet, For the same reason as Feng Meng, Even though his talents is better than in the original, This is still a eye catching feat, He will be in lots of trouble if he started to sell potions now, He need to wait atleast 3-4 Month's. Feng Meng didn't wanted attention so he presented himself as an ordinary talent, While Leylin knows that being determined as A talented Acolyte can be favourable for him, especially in getting his way during the Colossal Clash of Schools , So he decided to not sell himself too short neither become too dazzling.

In fact, even Feng Meng underestimated himself, Even after waiting 6 months, his talent in potioneering was accepted as exceptional. Leylin wants to wait around 4 months to finally present a poorly made formula, in order to gain genius status .

After 5 Months,

Leylin finally showed his talent to Kroft, he was very happy to see his quick advancement and praised his talent, From then He started to sell his potions in the open to amass Magic crystals. The reason he waited for an extra month was because he can feel that he is near the bottleneck to Level 2 Acolyte .

' I need to first collect Magic crystals and Buy some spells, After 4-5 Months I will leave Abyss Bone Forest'

The Academy has now become a big barrier for him, He cannot properly profit from his potioneering talent, He cannot breakthrough fast enough.

Once he can get some Attack spells , He will take a big duration mission and run out from Academy.

'I can only reach my full potential out in the World, not here in the fucking Academy. '

.....

Leylin after 3 months, bought a Rank -0 spell from Kroft. He then effectively Advance into Level 2 Acolyte two days later and finally A. I. Chip gain the ability to quantity spiritual force.

"A.I. Bring out my current stats!"

[Leylin Farlier, level 2 acolyte. Strength: 2.9, Agility: 3.0, Vitality: 3.3, Spiritual force: 4.9, Status: Healthy]

The A.I. Chip projected a 3D image in front of Leylin eyes and displayed his stats.

Compared to Feng Meng, I have huge Difference in all aspects and it took me six months less than him too.

Leylin took 6 months less than him, to reach a stat greater than the Original, The main contribution to this is his Devour Skill, But his abilities are not starting to stagger.

Next, Leylin bought all the useful spells as the price and spend all his time in learning and perfecting it .After taking up few odd solo easy missions,

leylin started to search for a good duration mission. He choose to do the same one as Feng, "Investigate the wilting vegetation in Extreme Night Town. Mission duration: 3 Years."

He collected all his Stacked up Potions, Bought a Steed and run off immediately.

He didn't buy the Spiritual force increasing Potion from Kroft because he have no need for it.

He left almost at the same time with other Top-level Talents, he knew that the bigger the difference between the time he was out, Lesser suspicious people will be of his advancement.

Leylin knows that The fight is going to catch flames in next 6-10 Months. Normally someone would have tried to stop him, but the Higher Ups supported the protection of Top-Tier Talent so he got out Scoot Free.
