"After a few words with Natalie, let them take the Fire Element Pool and leave the underground. He followed Cleveland and left the Underworld first.
Cleveland looked at Daniel with a hint of envy, saying, 'How come I don't have your luck in finding such a Fire Element Pool?'
'Luck, just luck. Thanks for coming to rescue me, Senior.'
'It's nothing. Since I came personally, you should at least show some gratitude.'
Daniel chuckled but had no response.
'Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to give anything, that's fine.'
Seeing this, Cleveland didn't dwell on the matter any longer.
Finding the Fire Element Pool felt like winning five million in a lottery to Daniel; it was an enormous fortune that no one could resist.
For such wealth, many couples have separated and relatives have turned against each other. Everyone wanted a share.
Cleveland was no exception, but unlike those people, he wasn't a poor relative; he was already a millionaire with assets worth tens of millions, close to a hundred million.
Although five million was a huge amount, it wasn't significant to him. If he could get a share, that would be great; if not, it wasn't worth falling out over.
'Since you insist on showing gratitude, how about this? I found nearly one hundred thousand Magic Stones worth of Fire Element Crystals in the Fire Element Pool. I'll give you half.'
Cleveland was overjoyed and patted him on the shoulder, saying, 'Great! It was worth coming to rescue you.'
Getting fifty thousand Magic Stones felt like winning the lottery for him, and he was very happy. However, he soon realized that the benefits would ultimately come from himself; he would gain much more in the future."
This time, the opponent obtained the Fire Element Pool, allowing them to construct a Wizard Tower. Although it is the most inferior replica version, it is still a Wizard Tower, something that a Wizard Apprentice cannot handle.
He could easily imagine that once Daniel completed the Wizard Tower, he would wreak havoc, defeating the apprentices of the Six Great Wizard Towers and earning countless resource points for the academy.
And then?
Then Daniel would be rewarded by the academy. As a Wizard Seed, he would receive triple the rewards.
The original reward was already substantial, a massive fortune, and multiplying it by three raises questions about whether the academy could even afford it.
That 50,000 Magic Stones would ultimately end up back in his hands.
Understanding this, he lost interest in the unexpected windfall of 50,000 and left Daniel in a valley before taking his leave.
Daniel rested in the valley, preparing to wait for Natalie and the others to arrive.
Before that, Daniel took out three tightly wrapped Lotus Seeds from the Elemental Red Lotus and popped one into his mouth, silently digesting it.
When he finished meditating and opened his eyes, Daniel exclaimed in amazement; it was truly powerful.
These three Lotus Seeds from the Elemental Red Lotus had increased his Mental Power by eleven points. Although this seemed far from the maximum increase of seven points in Mental Power, this effect was achieved with the enhancement of the fourth Meditation Rune.
But it was already sufficient; after all, he was no longer just a Second-Level Apprentice with over 0 points of Mental Power. Now he possessed 81 points of Mental Power as a prospective wizard.
The effects of the Elemental Red Lotus were indeed remarkable. Facing a prospective wizard, such strong effects were astonishing and hard to believe.
Indeed, he had 81 points of Mental Power. During this period, Daniel's Mental Power had increased by another point quite rapidly.
By the time he finished taking it, his Mental Power had surprisingly reached 9 points.
With such a high Mental Power, Daniel suddenly realized that he needed to change his plans. Originally, it would take thirty years for a Wizard Apprentice to graduate, but now that his Mental Power had reached 9 points, by the time this war was over, he could increase it further, making it possible to reach around ninety-six or ninety-seven points.
At that point, what would be the point of staying in the academy? Would he just waste time, helping the academy defeat countless Wizard Towers and earn substantial benefits, waiting for zero years to pass?
He had no interest in wasting time like that. It wouldn't benefit him at all.
In just a few years, it would be the academy's graduation ceremony held once every ten years; he might as well wait until then to graduate.
Two years later, Natalie and the others brought the Fire Element Pool over, and at the same time, a Floating Ship descended—specifically the Flame Throne that Daniel had used before.
Of course, Daniel wasn't planning to use the Flame Throne to transport the Fire Element Pool; instead, he intended to install the Fire Element Pool directly onto the Flame Throne as a Wizard Tower.
This was unavoidable. Building a real Wizard Tower typically took over a hundred years; given that they were currently in a war, he couldn't afford to spend such a long time constructing a Wizard Tower.
It was better to install it on the Flame Throne. Although it wouldn't be as powerful as a true Wizard Tower, it would certainly not be weak either. It would suffice as a makeshift version of a Wizard Tower.
Seeing the Fire Element Pool and Flame Throne side by side, Albert was extremely excited. He touched this and that, never expecting to participate in the construction of a Wizard Tower.
This was a Wizard Tower! The most important thing for elemental wizards, accompanying them throughout their lives. No matter what level of wizard they were, they would spare no effort in building their own Wizard Tower. Even if it meant accumulating countless Magic Stones, they would strive to construct the best Wizard Tower.
He never imagined he could participate in building a Wizard Tower ahead of time. By the time he became a Formal Wizard, he would already have experience in constructing a Wizard Tower and could build his own even better.
Holding the designed blueprints, he found Daniel and excitedly said, "Daniel, what do you think of my design? I guarantee it will maximize the power of the Fire Element Pool."
Daniel was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Albert to design blueprints. The problem was that he himself had also designed a set of construction blueprints for the Wizard Tower.
Suddenly, two sets of blueprints appeared, leaving him unsure of what to do.
Albert had never worked with him before, so now he was faced with the dilemma of whom to choose. Should he select his? The problem was, who knew how good his was? What if it turned out to be unsuitable?
Trusting in his own abilities, he took out the blueprints he had created himself.
"Thank you for considering me and personally designing the blueprints. I have also designed one myself. Let's compare them and absorb each other's strengths, selecting the best from both. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Daniel, Albert's expression darkened immediately. He was always straightforward; those who sought his help never dared to refute him. Daniel's words clearly questioned his abilities, which was something he could hardly tolerate. He was about to jump up and angrily rebuke him.
However, seeing the Fire Element Pool behind him, for the sake of his beloved Wizard Tower, he could only endure.
"Fine, I want to see how good your blueprints are."
His tone was extremely cold, revealing his inner displeasure.
Daniel smiled faintly, knowing that he was very angry but not taking it to heart; capable people were always so arrogant.
