## Chapter 68: Change

Shining Light City, Inner Citadel.

In the quiet meditation chamber, Xieman sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed.

In the invisible void, energy particles, like they were drawn by an invisible force, poured into his body and vanished.

After half an hour, Xieman opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

He stood up, pushed open the door and stepped outside. Looking at the lush greenery in the courtyard, a trace of bewilderment flashed across his face.

Ever since he participated in the assessment, his life had undergone a drastic change.

The dream he had fantasized about for over a decade had come true overnight. He moved into the castle he had always longed for, enjoyed the service of servants like a noble, and received a gold coin every month.

During this time, Xieman returned home once. Old Roger told him that after he moved into the castle, many people came to inquire about him and sent many gifts to curry favor with Old Roger.

When mentioning this, Old Roger grinned from ear to ear, praising Xieman for his success.

Seeing Old Roger’s joy and relief, Xieman was also very happy.

But what made him happiest and most surprised was Lord Sunan, or should he call him Teacher now, and the knowledge he taught him.

A magical knowledge called Meditation!

After successfully mastering the Star Ring Meditation Method in twenty-five days, Xieman felt the energy particles for the first time.

Ever since then, he felt like he had entered a whole new world.

With just two months of meditation, he transformed from a skinny child into a sturdy young man.

His thin body, where even his ribs were clearly visible, had become robust almost overnight.

According to Miss Amy, he already possessed the physical fitness of a Sword-Wielding Attendant!

The blacksmith, Carlo, from the Fire Hammer Blacksmith Shop in the northern part of the city, often bragged in front of him about his past as a Sword-Wielding Attendant.

If Carlo knew that a twelve-year-old boy like him already possessed the strength of a Sword-Wielding Attendant, would he be so shocked that his jaw would drop?

Xieman suddenly wanted to see that sight.

But he was just thinking about it. He didn’t have the time for that now.

After mastering the Star Ring Meditation Method, his Teacher officially took him as a student. Afterward, he was given a pile of books, instructed to study diligently, and told that he would be tested on his progress every month.

If his Teacher was satisfied, he would be rewarded.

To be honest, the content of those books was very complicated and unheard of.

Things like “Introduction to Magic Plants,” “Magic Plant Cultivation,” “Introduction to Potionology,” “Biology,” “Mutation,” “Principles of Magic,” “Origin of Wizards”—all these made Xieman’s head spin.

Although he could read, his ability was limited to everyday literacy. Digesting these massive tomes was a real challenge for him.

To keep up with the progress, he had to sneak off and ask Miss Amy for help. The price was that he had to massage Miss Amy for half an hour every day.

Xieman’s thoughts were running wild when the door to the nearby room suddenly opened. Atir walked out.

Seeing Xieman, Atir smiled gently and said, “Just finished meditation?”

“Yeah.”

Xieman glanced at the book in Atir’s hand and nervously pursed his lips.

Today was the monthly assessment.

Soon, his Teacher would come to assess their progress this month.

Whenever this time came, he would involuntarily feel nervous.

Seeing Xieman’s unease, Atir softly comforted him, “Don’t be nervous. You’ve been studying diligently, you’ll be fine.”

Others might not know, but Atir knew how hard Xieman was working.

She and Kore would sometimes take a break from their studies because they found them tedious. But she had never seen Xieman rest.

Whenever she saw Xieman, he was diligently studying with his books.

This focused and relentless attitude earned Atir’s silent admiration.

Xieman might not be as efficient as her and Kore in learning, but his progress might not be behind theirs.

“Thank you.” Xieman nodded gratefully to Atir.

Just then, the door to the other side of the corridor opened, and Kore came out.

Seeing Atir and Xieman standing in the corridor, he paused, his eyes scanning Xieman for a moment, his brow furrowed slightly. He then nodded to Atir, said nothing, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Xieman couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

Kore had always looked down on his commoner status. And ever since Xieman mastered the Star Ring Meditation Method two days before Kore, it seemed like Kore had become even more displeased with him.

As if his competitive spirit had been ignited, Kore always acted as if he wanted to compete with Xieman whenever their Teacher assessed their knowledge. This made Xieman laugh and cry at the same time.

“Don’t mind him. Kore is actually not bad. He just has a strong competitive spirit,” Atir whispered.

Xieman nodded in understanding.

He had seen many aristocratic young masters with far worse character. Compared to them, Kore was already quite good.

At least Kore wouldn’t insult him to his face by calling him a “bastard” or a “peasant.”

Seeing that it was getting late, Atir and Xieman also went to stand at the courtyard gate, preparing to greet their Teacher.

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from afar, getting closer.

Quickly, Sunan’s figure appeared in their sight.

“Teacher!”

Xieman, Kore, and Atir all bowed respectfully.

“Mm.”

Sunan’s spiritual power spread out, sweeping over the three of them. He nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.

“It seems that the three of you have been diligently meditating lately. Very good.”

Xieman and the others were all delighted to be praised by Sunan.

“Meow, Sunan’s here!”

Amy suddenly popped out from somewhere, landing on Sunan’s shoulder. The bells around her neck jingled gently, emitting a clear and pleasant sound.

Xieman and the others watched this scene with calm faces.

When they first saw Amy’s spatial teleportation ability, they were amazed.

But after seeing it so many times, they became accustomed to it.

However, another being had them completely baffled to this day.

Just as they were thinking about it, a massive figure silently and abruptly appeared before them, its black and red scales and sharp claws shining with a cold, chilling brilliance under the sunlight.

That primitive and savage aura made Xieman and the others instinctively tense their bodies.

By the Truth, they had never seen such a terrifying beast before!

When they saw the Infiltrator’s true form for the first time, they almost collapsed to the ground in fright.

The Infiltrator ignored the three youngsters, let out a low growl, and approached Sunan.

Sunan stroked the Infiltrator’s rough head and said with a smile, “Been out to the base outside the city again?”

Infiltrator: “Hiss!”

Amy: “Meow, I’m not afraid of going out alone! I just wanted to go with you because you were bored here!”

Infiltrator: “Hiss!”

Amy: “What’s so good about sleeping? You’re not a real dragon, why do you always lie in your lair?”

Sunan chuckled and interrupted the cat and the lizard’s bickering.

“The base outside the city is already built. I’ve left a place for you there. It’s much more spacious. You can move there to live.”

Hearing this, the Infiltrator didn’t have any objections.

Amy looked at Xieman and the others: “Meow, what about these three?”

Sunan glanced at his three students and said, “They can move into the base once they have learned all the knowledge I require of them.”

After hesitating for a moment, Amy shook her head, “Meow, I’ll stay here for now.”

Sunan looked deeply at Amy, nodded, and said nothing more.

After waking up from her thousand-year sleep, Amy had lost all her family and friends. In this world, she was practically alone.

Besides Sunan and the Infiltrator, only these three new Wizard Apprentices could be considered in her ‘circle,’ with whom she could communicate.

Thus, in the case where Sunan was busy and often disappeared, Amy preferred to stay with these three.
