Chapter 31 - New Treasure Chest

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Now that he had such a powerful killing technique, Linley Bart was even more confident in his chances in the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition.

But now that Linley Bart had met a powerful sorcerer like Principal Xibolai, Linley felt that there should be quite a number of powerful people on the continent.

Although he could be invincible among his peers by relying on the Treasure Chest System, he could not fight against the more powerful sorcerers.

No matter what, he had to become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger could he gain a foothold in the continent.

Since he currently had the principal’s key and could freely go everywhere in the library, he should take this time to learn more magic spells.

After he left the academy, he was not certain how many treasure chests he would be able to find.

Therefore, he had to learn more magic spells before the competition!

The Magic Library was a good choice.

However, no matter how much he loved studying, it was good to wait until tomorrow.

It was time to sleep.

Even if there was a huge matter, it would have to wait until tomorrow.

Just as Linley was sleeping soundly.

His reputation had spread to all the academies in the entire continent almost overnight.

The magical battle between Linley Bart and Alice was also known by the people of other academies.

The two lower-grade students actually used forbidden spells.

A month ago, Linley Bart had still been seen as a hedonistic son of a wealthy family. Now, he had become a sorcerer who could use extremely powerful spells.

Many people definitely wouldn’t think that Linley’s talent was that great because his talent had already been tested before entering the school. It had been shown in the test that his talent in magic was very low.

However, his current results were extraordinary. No weaklings who could reach the top ten in the internal competition.

If an academy wanted to win the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition, it would have to research and find out everything about the other academies.

The battle between Linley and Alice had revealed magic that shocked the other sorcery academies.

The matches this year would be very intense.

Some sorcery academies were also secretly training harder when they had heard of this.

After their research, although Linley Bart had some power, his talent was still too low. In addition, his ancestor’s sorcery lineage was not really pure. His father didn’t know any magic at all.

In other words, he was not from a family of sorcerers and did not have a deep magic heritage.

No matter how powerful he was, the magic he could master was limited.

In comparison, although Alice’s father was a king who started out as a mercenary, he was still a king after all. He had enough power to make Alice a powerful sorcerer.

However, the news that Alice’s vitality had been damaged because she had forcefully overused her magic had spread.

If they could confirm that Alice could not fight, the pressure on the other academies would be much less.

On the second day, Linley Bart woke up from his bed.

The first thing he did was ask the system, “Are there any treasure chests nearby?”

This had already become a habit of his. The first thing he did after waking up everyday was to ask where the treasure chest was.

“Treasure chest found 1,789 meters to the east-west direction!”

After learning the location of the treasure chest, Linley Bart was clearly very excited.

However, the treasure chest was really far this time. In the past, it was never this far away.

Perhaps his increase in magic power had allowed the system to extend its range of search.

Thinking of this, Linley Bart felt happy for his own growth in power.

Based on the system notification, Linley Bart continued to search for treasure chests.

The location of the treasure chest was actually the hospital?

There was indeed a hospital in the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.

Strictly speaking, although the sorcery academy was an academy.

It was more like a small city by itself.

There were shops, taverns, and hospitals in it.

Anything that could be bought outside could also be bought inside the Sacred Dragon Institute.

In the past, Linley Bart loved to spend money. He would buy all the things he liked at the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy and drink in the bar.

Thus, Linley Bart was a regular customer of the restaurant.

It was permitted for sorcerers to drink in small quantities.

Drinking before meditating would increase one’s affinity for magical elements.

However, some sorcerers used this as an excuse to drink more than they should.

The result was that they became drunk.

When he arrived on the street, quite a few people recognized Linley Bart.

Those who originally despised him all had admiration in their eyes.

Right now, Linley Bart was considered quite a celebrity in the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.

“Yo, it’s Young Master Bart again. Is there anything you want to buy? I’ll give you a 30% discount!”

“Bart! Are you coming to our tavern today? Everything is free for you today!”

“Too powerful. Is this Linley Bart? I don’t even dare to look at him straight.”

Everyone around was talking about Linley Bart, but Linley wasn’t in the mood to care. All he wanted to do was to find the treasure chest.

He walked till he reached the entrance of the hospital.

Normal people would not come to the hospital.

Only patients or patients would enter the hospital.

Right now, Linley Bart wasn’t injured at all. His visit to the hospital drew the attention of others.

“It’s Linley Bart!”

“The sorcerer who dueled with Alice?”

“That’s amazing, but why did he come to the hospital? Is he injured?”

Linley Bart completely ignored all of their idle chatter. He followed the system’s instructions and arrived in front of a ward.

The door to this room was locked.

But this wasn’t a problem for Linley because he had once obtained a spell, Lock Picking, from the treasure chest!

With this spell, no matter what sort of lock it was, it wouldn’t be able to block Linley’s path.

Just like that, Linley Bart entered the room and locked the door.

Inside, he found a Silver Treasure Chest…

And… Alice?

He then realized that this was Alice’s ward.

She had been unconscious since the duel with him.

It should be the result of overusing her magic power.

She slept peacefully, wearing a white hospital gown. Her long hair was draped over the blanket, and her breathing was even.
