3 months later
Inside the villa that Rezen and Treen were staying on, the latter can be seen reading a book about magical theories. At first, his expression was very serious as if he was intent on comprehending all the mysteries and knowledge inside the book
However, maybe it only took around an hour or two before he tightly grabbed his hair in frustration
"Argghhh!! I can't take this anymore. I feel like my head will explode!" Treen said frustratedly while throwing the book away from him
The mysteries of magic were very profound and those who don't have enough talent will never be able to comprehend even just a tenth of it. Clearly, Treen is one of the people who lacks the talent for magic
As such, although he was progressing, the progress was extremely slow. Even if he poured everything he had, the theories inside the book were still too profound for him. It was hard to make even a bit of progress
"I should just make my bed skills even better! With my sweetheart around, why would I need to work hard?" Treen muttered to himself but thinking of a certain someone, he grumbled and retrieved the book
"Fine, fine, Rezen! I will endure for one more hour, after that, I will just go around and play!" Treen said to no one in particular
He can already hear Rezen's nagging, asking him to continue cultivating no matter how boring and hard it was. Maybe, if Treen was talented, he wouldn't find cultivating boring since he can sense himself improving rapidly. Too bad that he doesn't have the talent and his rate of improvement was simply slow, too slow
"By the way, how is he? Aside from we have classes, although we are living in the same house, I rarely see him. He was too busy cultivating! That man should go out and play from time to time!"
At the thought of Rezen's almost ascetic life, Treen had the urge to take him out to play. With the 'allowance' that he receives from his sugar mommy constantly, he has enough to pay for the both of them to go whatever they want outside
"Right! I should just ask him to play. If he insists on asking me to cultivate, I can just go and ask him. I always have faster progress when Rezen is teaching me compared to reading these boring books by myself!"
With that thought and plan, Treen went out of his bedroom. He approached Rezen's bedroom and he was about to knock on the door when he sensed the abnormal movement of mana from the atmosphere
"Huh? What's happening? Why is there such a large amount of mana entering Rezen's room?" Treen said in surprise. Although Rezen was constantly cultivating, he didn't make much commotion
After all, what he was doing mostly in the past was to strengthen his foundation. He made up for the mistakes from the past due to his lack of knowledge. Thankfully, he entered the Tryst Academy, and his lacking knowledge was supplemented. His foundation grew sturdier in the past three months. And coincidentally, after the first semester, Rezen is now breaking through to the next cycle!
Back when Rezen entered the academy, he was already a 3rd cycle Deviant Mage. But now, he is already breaking through to the 4th cycle and entering the ranks of mid-level Junior Mages!
Rezen is a Deviant Mage who has a sturdy foundation, along with his talent that increased exponentially in the past three months thanks to the Suppla Grapes soaked with the talent potion. As such, his breakthrough to the 4th cycle caused such a commotion
Of course, although it was called a 'commotion,' in reality, it wasn't really much of a commotion. It was only because Treen was directly standing outside of Rezen's bedroom that he could sense such a thing. This abnormal movement of mana was far from enough to cause a real commotion
"Is he breaking through to the 4th cycle?" Treen asked himself in surprise. Breaking through to the 4th cycle was naturally harder compared to Junior Mages reaching the 1st to the 3rd cycle!
There was a large gap between the 3rd and 4th cycle since that is the dividing line between the low-level and mid-level Junior Mages!
If this was before entering Hope City, a 4th cycle mage could easily sweep through the surrounding tribes and become a hegemon. To think that Rezen will reach the 4th cycle this early!
Even though he was not the one that is breaking through, Treen was still very excited. Not only was Rezen his friend, but he was also the golden thigh that Treen was waiting to grow and mature. How can he not be excited?
"Heh... that Quard is insufferably arrogant just because he reached the 4th cycle a few weeks earlier than Rezen. But now that Rezen is also a 4th cycle mage, let's see how that bastard can defeat him!"
"When both of them are still at the 3rd cycle, aside from when we just wore the limiters, Quard never won against Rezen in a battle! Now that both of them are in the same cycle again and Rezen's foundation has become sturdier, I don't believe that Quard can still defeat him!"
With a sneer, Treen imagined the arrogant bastard which was Quard being wiped out by Rezen. Just thinking about it is very exciting!
After some time, the commotion died down and Rezen suddenly walked out of his bedroom just to see Treen sheepishly smiling
"What are you doing?" Rezen asked with knitted brows and only then did Treen's mind return to reality
"Rezen! You broke through again! This is a cause for celebration! Let's go, I will treat you today!" Treen said excitedly but Rezen was bound to disappoint him
"Let's do that, next time" Rezen said and Treen's mood immediately lowered
"Why? Are you going to cultivate again? You have been cultivating for three months non-stop! Can't you rest for even just a day?"
At that, Rezen shook his head. "I don't plan on cultivating today. Since I just broke through, I want to fight magic beasts to help stabilize my cultivation" Rezen said although that is not really the reason why he wants to fight the magic beast
Stabilizing his current level is one thing but what he really wants to do is to kill magic beasts and have his farm absorb them!
It has almost been three months since Rezen's farm was upgraded and can grow 4th cycle Spirit Plants. In these three months, although his farm is also progressing, it was simply too slow
Now that Rezen is a 4th cycle Deviant Mage, he wants his farm to be upgraded to the 5th or even the 6th cycle!
In reality, the farm is just equal to Rezen's level but so what? There are many forces far stronger than the current him. Rezen doesn't want to only have the power to fight enemies at his level. He also wants to have the ability to fight those above his level and the thing that would help him do that is his farm!
In the past three months, with his indirect connection to the Headmaster, Rezen received more cultivation resources compared to his peers. However, these cultivation resources are for a single person only. It was far from enough to upgrade his farm
To increase his farm's level, Rezen either has to obtain unparalleled treasures or he has to let the farm absorb a large number of magic beasts corpses
"No, it's not really the treasures or the magic beasts that the farm needs but... energy! What it needs is energy!" Rezen thought
While treasures also have significant effects on the farm such as the Sun Holy Water causing the farm to grow sun-type Spirit Plants a bit faster, what the farm really needs is energy! Energy to elevate itself!
Whether it be treasures like the Holy Sun Water or corpses of magic beasts, both contain energy in the form of mana and it was these energies that could upgrade the farm
In fact, it wasn't necessary for Rezen to obtain treasures or magic beasts corpses to upgrade his farm. If he has enough mana stones, he could also upgrade his farm. However, was obtaining thousands, no, hundreds of thousands or even millions of mana stones easy? Of course not!
As such, Rezen can only rely on the method of hunting magic beasts to upgrade his farm to another level
At this moment, Rezen only reached the level of geniuses like Quard, Porenz, and Theon. His talent was still far from enough considering that Tryst Academy is far from being one of the best academies
The higher ranking academies surely have geniuses more monstrous than the geniuses at Rezen's batch in the academy. As such, Rezen doesn't have time to lose! He has to increase his strength as soon as possible and that is only possible with the elevation of his farm to another level!
