The thing Li Wei wanted to do most right now was to remove the curse.
Of the Seven Rings, only one was currently active.
And it was already causing him great inconvenience.
With a few more curses, he feared every step would be a struggle.
To remove the curse, he had to go to the Divine Hall of Light.
There was a Divine Hall of Light in Storm City.
It seed Li Wei had two choices, but in reality, he had none.
With his current strength, if he dared to travel the sixteen hundred miles to Storm City, he’d be eaten on the way, with not even his bones left behind.
Even if he were incredibly lucky and didn’t encounter any Magic Beasts,
the various dangerous environnts along the way would be more than enough to give Li Wei a hard ti.
Most importantly, sixteen hundred miles was too far.
Without so way to guide him, if he set off rashly and his direction was even slightly off, he could end up flying to the ends of the earth.
Li Wei’s only option was to use the Elental Tower’s Teleportation Array to get to Storm City.
Fortunately, he wasn’t far from advancing to Tier Three Mage.
If he had to wait more than half a year to advance, he wouldn’t be able to wait that long before going to Storm City.
He would rather take the risk.
The longer he delayed, the greater the threat from the curse would beco.
Back at Zog Valen’s manor,
Li Wei drank a bottle of Middle Level Magic Potion.
He focused his mind, cald his breath, and began his ditation and Cultivation.
[Crystal ditation thod (Tier Two)] 9546/10000
In half a month at most, Li Wei would be able to reach Tier Two Perfection.
At that ti, he could plan for his awakening and break through to Tier Three.
This period was the perfect ti to earn so Credit Points.
The next day, Li Wei arrived at the Red Level Class classroom.
It was a rare sight to see their teacher, Sean, the "Sleep God," arrive at the classroom so early.
Everyone was surprised to see him there so early.
Then, soone seed to realize sothing, and their surprise turned to delight.
Bruce asked, "Teacher, is it our turn to use the Cultivation Secret Realm today?"
Sean nodded. "Yes. Get ready, we’re leaving soon."
Li Wei heard this with a confused expression.
He asked curiously, "What’s the Cultivation Secret Realm?"
Bruce glanced at him and kindly explained, "Cultivating in the Cultivation Secret Realm is twice as effective. Your cultivation speed can increase several tis over."
"We Red Level Class students get to use the Cultivation Secret Realm for one day each month. The Purple Level Class students get to use it for half a month..."
As he said this, his face filled with envy.
They already couldn’t compare to them, and on top of that, their cultivation resources were better.
The gap between them just kept getting wider.
After hearing the explanation, Li Wei felt a sense of anticipation.
Soon, the Red Level Class students had all gathered and followed Sean to the Cultivation Secret Realm.
Li Wei looked around and realized there were actually over forty students in the Red Level Class.
Yesterday, he had seen fewer than ten people in class.
On a normal day, the others were either auditing classes in other levels or cultivating and studying on their own outside.
After all, even if they ca to class, Sean wouldn’t lecture; he just had the students study on their own.
They were only to ask questions if they didn’t understand sothing.
Over ti, fewer and fewer people were willing to stay in the classroom to study.
Everyone had their own place to be.
It was only because today was a cultivation day that so many people had gathered.
The Cultivation Secret Realm was located in the Secret Realm Plaza.
The entrance exam Li Wei had taken was also held in the Secret Realm Plaza.
Over a dozen Gates of Space stood in the Secret Realm Plaza, all of them leading to Secret Realms controlled by the Elental Tower.
Each Secret Realm had a unique purpose.
The sheer number of Secret Realms revealed the Elental Tower’s profound resources.
When a temporary Secret Realm appeared outside Maple City, all the different factions fought tooth and nail for it.
Yet the Elental Tower possessed over a dozen permanent ones.
Sean led the group to the Cultivation Secret Realm Teleportation Gate.
He took out his ntor Badge to activate the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate.
"Alright, you can go in now."
After speaking, he stepped into the Secret Realm first.
As the ntor of the Red Level Class, he was naturally also qualified to use the Secret Realm on the cultivation day.
The Cultivation Secret Realm was not just for students, but for the Elental Tower’s ntors as well.
After Sean walked into the Secret Realm, Li Wei noticed that no one else was following.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a group of people approached from the side.
The Mage Robes of this group were embroidered with yellow or green stars.
This indicated they were students from the Yellow Level Class or the Green Level Class.
These people blocked the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate, looking at the Red Level students with arrogance.
Soone from the Red Level Class ran out, exchanged a few words with them, then turned around and shouted to the crowd.
"The upperclassn from the Green Level Class are willing to pay one hundred gold coins to buy today’s cultivation slot! Anyone willing to sell?"
He shouted twice, but no one responded.
"Don’t make us do this the hard way. We’re only offering money because we’re all students of the Elental Tower. Otherwise, us just using your cultivation day would be doing you a favor."
"Are you selling or not?"
The lackey directly grabbed a small, skinny male Mage from the crowd and asked.
"N-no... I’m not selling," the man stamred, clearly frightened.
"You sure you’re not selling?"
The lackey’s face turned vicious as he directly threatened him.
The man glanced at the nacing "upperclassn" in front of him.
He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the crowd behind him.
His eyes pleaded for help.
However, no one t his gaze. Everyone lowered their heads, hoping they wouldn’t be the one chosen.
This was routine. Every ti it was the Red Level Class’s cultivation day, it would be stolen from them.
Only those students with soone backing them up wouldn’t be troubled.
The skinny man lowered his head helplessly and said, "I’ll sell."
"Hmph! You should have just said so from the start. Did you have to force my hand?"
"Take it. This is a little sothing from your upperclassn."
The skinny man held the pouch containing one hundred gold coins, a bitter expression on his face.
’What kind of benefit is this?’
One hundred gold coins wasn’t a small amount,
but it was nowhere near the value of a day in the Cultivation Secret Realm.
He didn’t want to do it, but if he refused, he would suffer humiliation.
The skinny man took the coin pouch and turned to leave, dejected.
He looked at his fellow students, a trace of resentnt in his eyes.
He hated that none of them had stepped up to help.
’If everyone had just stood together, how would these people dare to do this?’
A forced transaction played out right before Li Wei’s eyes.
Refusing the forced sale ant suffering retaliation later.
Those who were singled out all considered themselves unlucky, taking the one hundred gold coins and leaving.
At least it wasn’t outright robbery, leaving them empty-handed.
Selling the slot for the cultivation day and outright robbery were two different concepts.
The latter violated the Elental Tower’s Rules and would be punished by the Disciplinary Committee.
The forr was a voluntary act by the student.
Even if they were "volunteered," it was technically irreproachable.
"We still need one more spot."
The lackey swept his gaze over the crowd, his eyes sliding past the familiar faces.
He didn’t dare offend those with backers.
When he saw Li Wei, his eyes lit up.
’I didn’t expect there to be a new student here.’
The new students assigned to the Red Level Class were all first-year Tier One Mages.
Li Wei was the only recent newcor in the second-year Red Level Class.
Newcors usually didn’t have any backers when they first arrived.
’A newcor assigned to the Red Level Class probably isn’t anyone impressive.’
The lackey didn’t hesitate, pointing a finger at Li Wei.
"You, co here. Take this money and get lost."
"Your upperclassn buying your cultivation day is your good luck. One hundred gold coins is a lot!"
"Hurry up and take the money and go."
