Chapter 65: Blue Jade Badge

Hearing that Teacher Angela had not given up on taking Ron in as her disciple, Howen and the rest were both envious and jealous. However, they could do nothing about it. After all, they were not as talented as Ron. Otherwise, such an opportunity would be theirs.

Seeing that Ron had already made up his mind, Angela said, “You have saved my students earlier. As a teacher, I cannot simply not express my gratitude. Let me give you a present.”

With that said, she flipped her wrist and a blue badge appeared in her hand. She handed it to Ron and said, “This is a Blue Jade Badge. In two months, you can take this badge and go to our Sky Blue Magic Academy’s mystic realm for new talent trials to undergo a trial. Of course, if you don’t want to go, you can also sell this badge. It can be very popular.”

Ron took the badge. It was warm and soft to the touch. He took a closer look and saw that there were also some magic runes drawn on it, emitting faint magical waves. This was also a magical item, but it was not a magical weapon but something like a keepsake.

After seeing this badge, whether it was Ron or Norton, they were all very excited. Although they had never seen this badge before, they had all heard about it. With this badge, one would be able to participate in the trial of the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials. This Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials was not just the mystic realm for new talent trials of the Sky Blue Magic Academy; it was also the mystic realm for new talent trials of all the four great magic academies in the Northern Empire. When the time came, all the newcomers of the four great magic academies would enter this mystic realm to participate in the trial, and they might even obtain a great fortuitous encounter.

It was said that this mystic realm was actually a powerful force from ancient times. As for the name of the force, no one knew. No one knew if the other party was from a country or an academy. It was only known that there were many strange blue jades in this mystic realm. To enter this mystic realm, the easiest way was to possess a piece of blue jade. Hence, this mystic realm was called the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials.

In fact, this mystic realm was not in reality but in an independent space in the subspace. It was not known why this force had been teleported out of the real world and appeared in the subspace. However, those who had been to this mystic realm had all seen traces of a great battle there. Even after thousands or tens of thousands of years in the subspace, the traces and effects of the great battle still existed. It was still very dangerous to enter now. Several thousand years ago, someone had accidentally discovered the existence of this space. As it had contained very powerful cultivation techniques and Magic Pills, many people and powers started to fight over it. However, in the end, it was jointly occupied by the four great magic academies of the Northern Empire. Currently, it was used as the mystic realm for the trial of new student talents of the four great magic academies.

Every ten years, this subspace mystic realm would temporarily overlap with the real world. And, at this time, one would be able to enter the subspace. This was the trial opportunity that would occur once every ten years.

Everyone who entered this subspace mystic realm could sharpen themselves inside, and at the same time, they could also search for treasures. A large number of ancient magical items had been left behind in this subspace mystic realm, as well as powerful cultivation techniques or magic potions. Someone had once obtained a high-grade gold-tier meditation technique inside, and then relied on this meditation technique to advance to the Divine Mage realm. Another person had discovered an unknown magic pill inside which he took out and offered to a teacher of the academy. Then, that teacher directly took that student in as a disciple. All kinds of resources were lavished upon him, and his strength rapidly advanced to that of a Great Archmage. In short, there were countless good items inside. Once one entered, one would definitely reap some gains.

However, it was also because there were too many good things inside that everyone wanted to grab all the good stuff for themselves. Hence, it was inevitable that scuffles and fights broke out. Usually, only a third of the people that entered could come out. Two-thirds of the people would all stay in that place because they would have been killed. They would have been killed by each other or by some dangers in the mystic realm. This was because not only were there treasures in the mystic realm, there were also some powerful magical creatures and even some natural disasters like those in the Calamity Mountain Range, the kinds which no one knew how they occurred, how they killed and even how they disappeared. Even so, there were still a lot of people who wanted to enter, no matter what.

After the four great magic academies had jointly occupied this mystic realm, although they were powerful, they could not completely ignore the contests from the other powers. There was no lack of powerful family clans among these powers, and there were even some other countries among them. Under the pressure, the four great magic academies had no choice but to compromise and agree that they would be given a certain number of Blue Jade Badges when the mystic realm opened. Only those with a badge would be able to enter the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials. It was only then that the anger of these large powers was appeased. However, to enter this mystic realm, there were also requirements. One had to be under the age of 30, and one’s cultivation base had to be above that of a level-5 Great Mage, or be below that of a Great Archmage. If one had not reached or had exceeded this range, then one would not be able to enter the mystic realm.

These Blue Jade Badges were all allocated to powerful family clans and foreign royalties. However, some of the badges would also be circulated. Some of them had even been specifically taken out to be exchanged for cultivation resources. Although entering the mystic realm indeed had the possibility of obtaining huge opportunities, there was also a greater chance of dying inside. Hence, for safety reasons, some factions would exchange them directly for cultivation resources. Such a Blue Jade Badge could be sold for 100,000 Magic Stones.

After seeing the Blue Jade Badge, Romo was a little surprised. He had not expected Teacher Angela to be so generous as to give Ron a Blue Jade Badge directly. Romo was very clear on the value of the Blue Jade Badge because he had been lucky enough to participate in the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials once when he was still alive. At that time, Romo was only a level-8 Great Mage. His teacher had sold everything he had to buy a Blue Jade Badge to let Romo enter the Blue Jade Trial Mystic Realm of Trials. He had gone through several life and death situations in the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials and almost did not make it out alive. Fortunately, he made it out alive in the end, and he had also brought out a large number of natural treasures as well as a cultivation technique of a higher tier. It was thanks to this cultivation technique and those natural treasures that Romo managed to continue to break through and finally became a Great Archmage at the peak of the realm. Otherwise, even though his mental strength was higher than others, it would have been impossible for him to have such great achievements..
