After their lesson, the apprentices were free to do what they wanted. Some went looking for the workers for their class schedule, some decided to spend some time exploring the Tower, others took their textbooks back to their rooms and began studying.

Bohr decided that he wanted to go to the library on the fifth floor. He was eager to see this worlds largest library that Piquat was talking about. The Towers stairs were long and winding, and as he climbed up the stairs, he felt his legs burning. He thought he might actually die on those stairs. By the time he reached the fifth floor, he was panting heavily. However, he didnt have time to collect himself. As soon as he stepped onto the fifth floor, he felt a chill running down his back. Cold sweat dripped off of his forehead, and he felt like he might just collapse onto the ground.

In front of him, in the hallway leading to the library, was a giant creature. The monster was lying on the ground, blocking off the hallway. It had the body of a lion and large wings on its back. It had large claws and sharp teeth. Its body was lean and strong, clearly designed so that it could charge with great speed. It was clear that this would be considered an apex predator. He would later find out that it was called a griffin.

The griffin glanced at him and stood up. As it approached him, Bohr remembered that the Towers owner, Anthony, had told them, Starting from the fifth floor, there will be magical beasts guarding the floors. You all better have you apprentice badges. Otherwise, the beasts will attack you. I wont come save you if they eat you!

Bohr hurriedly found his badge and held it up. I have a badge. Im a new apprentice, Im new

The griffin stood up. Bohr was only up to its chin. Feeling the hot breath coming from its nose, Bohr felt his legs go weak. But the griffin just circled Bohr and then went back. It got onto the ground, closed its eyes, and continued napping.

Bohr felt like he was about to collapse. Walking with a hand on the wall to support himself, he passed down the long hallway. Finally, he reached a large door at the end of the hall. He pushed the door open and entered the library on the fifth floor. As soon as he saw what was inside the room, his jaw dropped open.

Shelves up to four levels high reached from the door to the depths. He couldnt see the end. Books filled the entire space of the library. The entire room was filled with the sweet scent of paper and ink.

Bohr padded across the thick red carpet. Noon sunlight streamed into the library through the large glass windows on the sides of the room. Sunlight bounced off the gleaming wooden shelves, lighting up the entire room. Delicate curtains hung in front of the windows, tugged by the gentle breeze of wind.

Bohr felt like he was a small human who had accidentally stumbled into a world of giants. In a space full of shelves and knowledge, he felt tiny and insignificant.

My God, is this what heaven looks like?

Lu Zhiyu left the Wizard Tower after the first lecture and returned to the dimension castle to continue his experiments. He didnt care if the wizard apprentices studied hard or not. The ant-people and the workers he placed in the Tower would be responsible for the apprentices lives and needs. If they failed their classes after three months, they would be tossed into the Black Forest. Lu Zhiyu didnt care if they could find their way out or not. He was their teacher, not their parent. He wasnt responsible for taking care of them.

He had made several different species of magic beasts according to his ideas, like the wind ravens that could control wind and the iceblue snakes that could control water. Others included the magic wolves that could use air cannons, the earth bears that could control the earth and produce giant earth thorns, and the griffins that could use supersonic booms as their weapon.

He also made some other magic beasts that had very peculiar appearances. Some of these magic beasts could control their skin color and turn invisible. Others could change to mimic another organisms appearance. The sphinx, which could break the molecular bond of compounds by its power of disintegration, was his proudest creation. He had commanded the sphinx to guard the twelfth level of the Tower, which was where his chamber was located.

Lu Zhiyu had created all of these beasts. He kept the magic beasts he liked and released the rest into the forest, allowing them to reproduce as they wished.

He gradually figured out the limits of some of these deified creatures. Their cells all came from level one mythical creatures like Lu Zhiyu and Sakun. The powers were limited to the molecular level and so their development could only involve the molecular level.

Lu Zhiyu also discovered something very interesting from these beasts and was inspired by it. Originally, he thought the second generation of magic beasts wouldnt be able to inherit the deified cells. He thought they would only inherit their predecessors special genes and abilities.

In reality, that wasnt so. The invasiveness of deified cells were more powerful than hed imagined. In addition to cells, they invaded the mind too. Starting from the first generation, the second generation of magic beasts would be completely assimilated by the deified cells. In other words, the second generation were the true magic beasts.

They were unified with the deified cells. The imprint of the deified cells were completely melded to the beasts minds. They even swallowed their mind power to grow!

Therefore, spawns could be passed down because the influence of the deified cells on the lineages was irresistible and inevitable. This imprint would be passed onto the minds of the next generation through the genes. The bloodline might be thinned out, but it wouldnt go extinct. As long as atavism occurred and the deified cells were awaken, the beasts would be able to re-learn the abilities!

Scary. So terrifyingly powerful!

These deified cells had only sprouted from an odd idea, but the more one thought about them, the more frightened and impressed one would feel. Did he really develop this?

He was also very interested by the combination of mind and deified cells. He wanted to create a different method of leveling up for the wizards.

Wizards practiced mind powers, which Lu Zhiyu divided into three stages. The first stage required a mind power of seven SFU in minimum, with which a person can be officially referred as a wizard. When they reached this step, they could be let outside the tower. They would be able to use some tricks. With the help of certain materials, they could use their mind power to cast low-level spells or modify their bodies. At this level, regular lives were nothing to them. Even Bloodline Knights wouldnt be able to resist them! Those with mind power measures of under seven SFU were wizard apprentices.

Wizards with mind power measures of seven to 129 SFU could be divided into three levels. Level one to level three wizards would have big differences in the strength of their mind power and precision of manipulation, but their essence would be unchanged.

Level four was the start of the second stage. These wizards had over 129 SFU of mind power. They could enhance their minds and create their own witchcraft space. (Lu Zhiyu called this the mind dimension and spiritual dimension before.) Here, they would be free from the limits of ordinary beings. They could change their body structure, wipe away the marks of other deified creatures, and inherit supernatural abilities. Lu Zhiyu was currently in level six.

Level seven would be the third stage. Wizards at this level would have deified their entire body Lu Zhiyu called them mythical wizards. They were already supernatural beings and, in layman terms, had immortal bodies. They would have their own mythical creature template! However, these wizards didnt have Lu Zhiyus mental talent of information transmission. They could only choose from the mythical creature templates Lu Zhiyu had created or modify a mutant to inherit. They didnt have the ability to create their own!
