Chapter 111 Intermediate Luck, Following
A series of notifications appeared, startling Lin Wei out of his cultivation state. Dust fell from his clothes. He rubbed his eyes and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"The casting speed has changed from relatively slow to slow, and the affinity has increased again." Lin Wei was very surprised and waved his fists in the air.
These days, Lin Wei also takes time to attend classes, and the atmosphere in the entire Turing Tower becomes increasingly tense. Everyone is like a tightly wound string, eager to improve themselves, especially the wizard apprentices on the Challenge Cup preparatory list, who are all putting in their best effort to enhance their elemental factor foundation.
Lin Wei opened up a gray area of knowledge about the Rubik's Cube.

"The elemental affinity has improved from the original level two (sparse) to the current level three (normal). I've finally made some progress in my talent." Lin Wei was overjoyed, unable to stop smiling.
He closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
The azure sea, which could only sense about 7 or 8 element factors a moment ago, can now sense about 13, and the small net has also grown larger.
Lin Wei easily caught a small fish and processed it in his mind.
"Now the efficiency of meditation has almost doubled. No wonder only wizard apprentices with high affinity have a better chance of cultivating to the first level of wizarding." Lin Wei nodded silently, a gratified smile on his lips. "However, even ordinary affinity is not enough for me to win in the subsequent competition."
"I still need to improve myself by grinding knowledge points; that's the fastest way. I'll use meditation as a supplement." Lin Wei pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly as he tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He paused, then continued, "I'll grind the Koi Breathing Technique to level three, and then I'll go on a trip to the Endless Sea."
Lin Wei had always valued luck, this mystical attribute, especially since he had almost died before, only surviving thanks to the tower master Robert returning from a meeting. Thinking of this, Lin Wei couldn't help but shudder, his eyes revealing lingering fear.
Lin Wei closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and continued his cultivation. The surroundings were so quiet that only his soft breathing could be heard, and a faint magical aura filled the air.
Another week passed, and Lin Wei successfully leveled up his breathing technique to level three.
[Koi Breathing Technique experience points +5, after being tripled by Deep Blue Face experience points +15]
[Koi Breathing Technique: Tier 4 → Tier 5 (11/10000), Intermediate Luck]
[Intermediate Luck: You are more likely to seize opportunities and can vaguely perceive the auspicious or inauspicious tendencies of future events]
Lin Wei slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "Finally, I've reached the fifth rank. The intermediate luck seems to be working much better. The clouds outside look brighter; it seems this trip will be very smooth?" As he spoke, Lin Wei stood up, stretched, and loosened his muscles.
Lin Wei looked somewhat suspicious, touching his chin with uncertainty in his eyes.
"Forget it, let's just pretend nothing happened. I still have to go out and hunt sea creatures as planned." Lin Wei patted his face and encouraged himself.
For some reason, Lin Wei always felt that his life at sea was more exciting than the comfortable life within the organization. "Maybe I've been living a life of leisure on the human continent for too long, and now I want to find some fun." Lin Wei comforted himself as he packed his bags, putting some essential items into his backpack.
As before, Lin Wei went to the port alone. The port was bustling with people, and the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore with a "splashing" sound. Lin Wei watched the wizard apprentices still forming groups to rent boats, a faint smile on his face. He filled his small boat with fuel, paid the mooring fee (ten points in total), and then set sail alone. The small boat moved slowly across the sea, leaving a white trail in its wake.
After he left, many of the apprentices who were queuing up started talking.
"Who is that tall wizard? A second-class wizard apprentice dares to go out to sea alone? He even has his own boat. Generally speaking, only first-class wizard apprentices are willing to buy their own boats. Just the fuel and maintenance costs alone are considerable." One wizard apprentice's eyes turned red with envy, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"That's Lin Wei. Don't you recognize him? A newcomer, a knight," a wizard apprentice explained, a proud expression on his face.
"Lin Wei? That guy who made it into the Challenge Cup? Why? Is the Knight class really that powerful?" A wizard apprentice leaned closer, looking unconvinced, his lips slightly pouting.
"I don't know, but everyone who makes it into the Challenge Cup is really skilled. Apart from Lin Wei, they are all extremely powerful first-class wizard apprentices, and they are all potential first-ring wizards. Only these people can be selected." A wizard apprentice explained with an excited look and wide eyes.
"Alright, get ready to go. You guys should focus on yourselves." The first-class wizard apprentice leading the group said indifferently. He was also a little sad that he hadn't been selected for the Challenge Cup, and a look of dejection appeared on his face. However, this was the arrangement of the tower master and several first-ring wizards, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Soon, the port returned to calm, and wizard apprentices continued to come and go as usual.
However, in a corner, four wizard apprentices were rubbing their hands together, whispering and watching the direction Lin Wei had left in. Their eyes revealed greed and ferocity, and their bodies were slightly leaning forward, ready to act at any moment.
"Onby, that kid's out at sea. He pulled off this job, so don't bother me again. He's only doing this because of your brother Onco's connections." A wizard apprentice said with a gloomy face and impatient look in his eyes.
"Yeah, if we do this too much, won't we become dark wizards?" a wizard apprentice chimed in, a hesitant look on his face.
"Don't worry, everyone. The four of us are all second-class wizard apprentices. We've got this kid in the bag," Onbi said arrogantly, his face showing the satisfaction of getting revenge, his fists clenched tightly.
Ever since Lin Wei threw him on his backside in front of everyone, Angbi has been unable to enter a meditative state properly. His cultivation speed and state have plummeted, and he almost went crazy.
