Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

White praised the young man in his letter so highly that it made White want to take him on as a student.

He was already quite old and had no hope of advancing further. While he was still in his prime, he had been looking for a student to pass on his mantle.

However, to become his student, one must meet at least two of the following requirements: strength, magic power, defensive ability, and alchemical knowledge.

It now seems that Luo Xiu's ability to break free from the shackles of the Dark Domain Mist demonstrates that his strength is adequate, and has even far exceeded his expectations.

He initially just wanted to see what level Luo Xiu could achieve, but he didn't expect Luo Xiu to tear it open so easily.

Fourth-order, or at least fourth-order power.

With a thought, a crystal ball appeared in mid-air.

A wisp of mist extended from his figure, transforming into tentacles that struck the crystal ball and sent it flying into Luo Xiu's arms.

Luo Xiu didn't sense any malice from Tata and caught the crystal ball without understanding why.

The crystal ball in his arms instantly burst into dazzling light.

A dazzling white light filled the entire room.

Tata was surprised.

This crystal ball can test the magical level of the person who touches it.

Such a dazzling white light meant that Luo Xiu's magic power level was no worse than his physical power level, both being at the fourth-tier level.

This is a bit exaggerated.

He's at the fourth level in both magic and strength, and he's still so young.

White is right. This young man is a genius among geniuses, the kind that would stand out even in the capital.

Can't let it go.

"Master Tata, what are you doing?"

Looking at the glowing crystal ball in his arms, Luo Xiu asked Tata in confusion.

"Cough cough."

Tata coughed lightly twice:

"Take a short quiz."

"So the test is over now?"

Luo Xiu held the crystal ball in his hand, unsure whether he should put it down.

In his eyes, Tata's emotional fluctuations were a bit strange, from initial calm to surprise, and now...

I became somewhat excited.

"Okay, sit down."

Tata nodded.

Luo Xiu placed the crystal ball aside and sat down opposite Tata:

"Did Master Tata call me into the house just to conduct a test?"

"It's not just about doing tests."

The tentacle-like mist picked up the letter from old White:

"When you delivered the letter, did you read its contents?"

Luo Xiu shook his head:

"This is a letter that Old White sent to Master Tata, so of course I haven't seen it."

That would be easy.

Tata felt joy in her heart, but her expression remained blank:

"White is an old friend of mine. He sent me this letter wanting me to take you on as a student. Will you agree?"

In Luo Xiu's eyes, the [Survey] showed that Tata was even more excited than before, especially when she spoke, she seemed a little nervous and guilty.

This is a typical sign of lying.

Although I don't know why a fifth-tier being would lie to me.

But since he was under someone else's roof, he couldn't very well jump up and expose the other party, and besides, the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

So Luo Xiu tentatively spoke up:

"Do I... have to agree?"

Silence fell, and the scene remained silent for a long time.

The only thing that was still changing in the entire room was the scrutiny in Luo Xiu's eyes.

Anger → Confusion → Incomprehension → Frustration → Resentment → Real Frustration

Seeing such a wide range of emotions on the other person, Luo Xiu sensed something was wrong.

Old White's old friend doesn't seem to be easy to get along with; the old man is a real pain in the neck.

He immediately changed his words:

"certainly--"

“I never imagined that anyone in Cunlil would refuse to be my student.”

Tata slowly began to speak:

"I'm not an unreasonable person. I'll give you one last test. If you pass, I'll let you go."

After saying that, a black mist spread from Tata's body, turning into sharp spikes, and was placed in front of Luo Xiu.

"Without the aid of props or equipment, touch it with your own defensive means. I have controlled the power, so you will be fine."

That statement is not a lie.

Luo Xiu had no means of defense and could only rely on his physical constitution. He slowly extended his index finger and touched the sharp spike.

The sharp tip tried to pierce the index finger, but only managed to break the skin before failing to penetrate any further.

"So...it should be considered approved, right?"

Luo Xiu observed Tata's movements and asked in a low voice.

Tata was shocked once again.

It's at the fourth tier, even its defense is at the fourth tier!

He didn't even use any defensive measures; his physical body alone was at the fourth-tier level!

Three items at the fourth level—this is beyond genius level; it's unheard of. Reaching the fifth level is only a matter of time, and even the sixth level is quite possible.

Those legendary little monsters in the capital city are probably only at this level.

His original idea was that Luo Xiu would definitely fail this final test, and then he would humiliate Luo Xiu severely, hand over the thing White had asked him to give Luo Xiu, and get rid of Luo Xiu.

But now he has completely forgotten about that idea.

He changed his mind!

In that brief moment, he thought of many things.

His past dreams, his unfinished career, and his old friends who always boasted about finding such outstanding students.

No! He had to keep Luo Xiu here!

If I miss this opportunity, I probably won't get another chance.

Even if he's unreasonable, we must keep him here.

"Stay and be my student."

Tata spoke rapidly:

"I will personally craft a Tier 5 equipment or item for you."

"And I will teach you my unique method of violent balance alchemy."

"Most importantly, from now on, no one in Kanriel can touch you."

Luo Xiu blinked as he watched Tata throw out one irresistible request after another:

"I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble; someone's looking for me."

"Who is it?"

Tata was secretly delighted; trouble was good, he was afraid of having no trouble at all.

“Bantanda’s.”

Luo Xiu told him the truth.

From the black mist of Tata emerged a hand-like cloud of mist, which waved with unparalleled grandeur:

"Bantanda is such a godforsaken place!"

"As long as you agree to become my teacher."

"Don't even mention that dead man's head and that bookworm in Bandanda, even if the lord of Kanriel, the Grand Master of the Knights, the Grand Master of the Merchant Guild, or the two Deans of the Sorcerer Academy came, I'd still protect you!"

"As long as you stay in Kanriel, I'll protect you!"

"Hello teacher."

Luo Xiu readily agreed.

Chapter 93 "Going Out" and "Coming Back"

Although the apprenticeship process was somewhat bumpy, the final apprenticeship procedure was completed quickly.

Luo Xiu greeted her teacher, and Tata smiled and nodded, thus concluding the matter.

There was no contract, no document, and no need for it.

Luo Xiu genuinely wanted to live a peaceful life under Tata's protection for a while, and Tata was never worried that Luo Xiu would run away.

If they run away, we can just catch them.
