As Wilson did not achieve his goal, he still felt resentful. However, since the principal had already left, he could only vent his anger on Dean Atais, who had been opposing him.

“The students may be strong this year, but they are neither noble nor elegant as sorcerers,” Wilson said. “Without the grandeur when using magic, they can’t be called sorcerers. They are just like two beasts fighting in the arena.”

“I don’t think so. The essence of magic depends only on the user. If the user is kind-hearted, then he is using kind magic. If the user is evil, then the magic he uses will also be very evil, right?”

“Humph, wait and see. Alice had forcefully overdrawn her magic power. Her life is like a candle in the wind.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Wilson and Atais glared at each other before leaving in opposite directions.

After the competition ended, Linley Bart went home for a nap.

When he woke up, he realized that Xibolai had appeared before him.

Linley Bart was very surprised. In his memory, this principal of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy was an extremely powerful figure in the sorcery world.

Although he did not know the principal, he was filled with an inexplicable sense of awe and respect for him.

In addition, Linley Bart could sense that the principal’s magic power was simply too powerful. In front of him, the magic power he had acquired from the treasure chest was nothing.

This made Linley Bart feel very envious. He didn’t know when he could become as strong as Xibolai.

Xibolai looked at Linley, who had just woken up and asked directly,

“Where did you learn your magic?”

This was a difficult question to answer because he had performed too well in the magic competition arena.

Furthermore, a month ago, he was still a piece of trash. His sudden rise in power would definitely rouse everyone’s suspicion.

“I read books…”

Linley Bart couldn’t think of a better reason. Reading books was indeed a way to learn magic and a good excuse for him in his current situation.

“Where did you read the book?”

“The library! I read it in the library.”

The library of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy indeed had countless books on magic. One could basically learn any magic on the continent there.

There weren’t any flaws in Linley Bart’s words if he said that he had learned the magic from the library.

Xibolai was rather surprised. He looked at Linley Bart with an astonished look. “You can learn magic just by reading books in the library?”

“Right.” Linley Bart nodded.

He could not possibly say that he had obtained the ability to pick up treasure chests. Even if he had told the principal that, the principal would also not believe him.

This was because he was the only one who knew about the system and he was the only one who could see the treasure chests.

“What book did you read?” Xibolai asked with interest.

Xibolai was a philomath. His greatest hobby in life was reading and writing books.

But sorcerers reading books was a rare sight nowadays.

With the increase in the number of scrolls, spells, theories, and knowledge that was being recorded, the content in the sorcery books was also increasing.

Ordinary students would not take the initiative to read more books after being forced to read the textbooks in class.

The Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy had the largest magic library and storage room in the entire continent.

However, there were very few students there every day. Alice was one of the regular customers, so Xibolai had a good impression of her.

But Xibolai hadn’t expected that Linley Bart, who had always been known as a hedonistic son of a wealthy family, would also read by himself in the library.

“I have been reading… The Complete Record Of Phoenix’s Magic.”

Linley Bart seemed to have been prepared for this. This was because he had used the spell Prophecy a few days back.

The prophecy told him that the principal would come to his room tonight to ask him how he learned magic.

Linley Bart knew all of this long ago, which was why he was well prepared for his answer.

“‘The Complete Record Of Phoenix’s Magic? Did you like this book? Oh right… You used the Phoenix’s fire magic today.”

Xibolai smiled.

In fact, Xibolai was the one who wrote the book. He had always loved creatures like the phoenix when he was young, but such legendary magical creatures were extremely rare on the continent.

In order to find the phoenix, Xibolai had even traveled around the entire continent in hopes of finding traces of it.

He had traveled for many years and learned a lot of magic. In the end, he managed to find an egg that belonged to the phoenix.

Later on, he brought the egg back to the academy to take care of it and successfully hatched the egg.

And thus, Xibolai had become the only one in the world to own a phoenix as a pet.

Most of the magic pets of other sorcerers were cats, owls, or mice, but Xibolai had a phoenix. It was obvious how much attention he received.

He had also obtained many benefits from the phoenix. After his research on the phoenix, he had written the book; The Complete Record Of Phoenix’s Magic.

This was the book he treasured the most in his life because it was a book that he had written after experiencing countless exciting adventures. The book contained his youth.

Xibolai knew that he would never be able to write such a book again.

This was because he was the principal of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy and no longer had time to travel. He missed that period of time but he would never have the same chance again.

“I really like this book!” Linley Bart nodded. “With this book, I’ve managed to learn many spells.”

He had just finished reading the book today and because of the prophecy spell, he knew that the author of the book was Xibolai himself.

As Xibolai was still young then, he had used an alias as the author of the book instead of his real name.

Hence, not many people knew that the real author of the book was Xibolai.

Xibolai was rather pleased with the answer. It turned out that Linley Bart had only become so powerful after reading the book that he had written.

That was only natural. The book was his masterpiece.
