Silence.

    The hall was completely silent.

    Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the scene before them, mouths agape and speechless.

    What was going on?

    The fight hadn’t even started, how did this guy concede already?

    In the hall, only the Silver Moon Viscount’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

    “What did you do to him?”

    A man, seemingly a friend of the burly man, rushed forward, pulling the burly man up from the ground, and glared angrily at Su Nan.

    Su Nan said calmly, “Just a small trick, why, do you want to try it too?”

    Facing Su Nan’s indifferent gaze, the man’s expression froze, unable to speak the words on the tip of his tongue.

    At this moment, the burly man also regained consciousness.

    Recalling his previous actions, his face immediately turned the color of liver, and with a roar, he drew the battle axe from his back and charged at Su Nan.

    The crowd was taken aback.

    The two knights guarding the Silver Moon Viscount naturally wanted to intervene, but the next second they saw Su Nan wave his hand, and a dazzling lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the void and striking the burly man.

    Crack!

    In the blink of an eye, the man fell to the ground, charred all over, his life or death unknown.

    The hall returned to dead silence.

    The crowd stared blankly at the burly man on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

    A high-ranking knight, defeated so swiftly?

    What kind of method was that lightning?!

    Clap clap clap!

    Applause suddenly rang out, waking everyone from their stupor.

    Turning their heads, they saw the Silver Moon Viscount standing and applauding, smiling as he watched Su Nan.

    “Sir, excellent skills. As you said, if you can eliminate that evil spirit, all the rewards will be yours!”

    As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the knights turned very unpleasant.

    However, no one protested.

    Not to mention, the Silver Moon Viscount had already made a decision, and they had no right to oppose it. The power Su Nan displayed was enough to deter any thoughts of opposition.

    Some well-informed knights had already vaguely realized Su Nan’s identity.

    Knowing they stood no chance, they turned and left without a word.

    Before long, except for Su Nan, all the other recruited knights had left the hall.

    The Silver Moon Viscount was unmoved, his eyes shining as he asked Su Nan, “How should I address you, sir?”

    “Anger McLean.”

    “If I’m not mistaken, Sir Anger is a wizard, correct?”

    “Correct.”

    “That’s great.”

    Although he had already suspected it, upon hearing Su Nan’s direct confirmation, the Silver Moon Viscount was still very excited.

    “With you taking action, that evil spirit can surely be dealt with!”

    “The evil spirit isn’t the issue.” Su Nan said calmly, “But before dealing with the evil spirit, I have other conditions.”

    “Please go ahead.”

    “I hope the one-thousand-gold reward can be paid in advance and converted into items specified by me of equivalent value.”

    The Silver Moon Viscount hesitated for a moment but quickly agreed.

    “No problem, what would you like instead?”

    Su Nan handed over a list, full of materials for producing lesser active potions and a set of tools for making potions.

    The Synthesis Cube has limited space, and he didn’t bring his production tools this time; he’ll have to buy another set.

    The Silver Moon Viscount glanced at it and, seeing nothing too rare, secretly let out a breath and smiled, saying, “I’ll have the items procured as soon as possible. You can rest in my manor for now.”

    Su Nan did not refuse and agreed.

    The Silver Moon Viscount then called his butler and instructed him to take Su Nan to the prepared room and ensure all his needs were met.

    Once Su Nan left the hall, a knight on the side couldn’t help but say, “Sir, do you really trust him? What if he takes the items and runs?”

    The speaker was one of the only two remaining Grand Knights under the Silver Moon Viscount.

    Seeing him question, the Silver Moon Viscount wasn’t annoyed. With a smile, he asked, “Ubano, if you were to fight him, how confident are you of winning?”

    Ubano hesitated for a moment but truthfully answered, “Less than 50%. His methods are too bizarre, and I can’t see through them.”

    Although he could also swiftly defeat high-ranking knights, he couldn’t do it as effortlessly as Su Nan.

    Furthermore, Su Nan clearly hadn’t exerted himself fully.

    The scene where the burly man was manipulated like a puppet to bark like a dog was still fresh in their minds—such methods were simply beyond comprehension!

    The Silver Moon Viscount shook his head with a chuckle, patting Ubano’s shoulder and said meaningfully, “You have no chance of winning.”

    Seeing Ubano somewhat unconvinced, he merely smiled, said nothing more, and turned to enter the side door of the hall.

    Those unfamiliar with wizards simply do not know how strange and terrifying their power is.

    It’s a force beyond common understanding, belonging to another world!

    The Silver Moon Viscount worked efficiently.

    The next day, a large amount of Silver Moon Flowers was sent to Su Nan.

    After instructing the butler not to let anyone disturb him, Su Nan began to make potions.

    Materials worth nearly a thousand gold coins were finally made into 102 bottles of lesser active potions.

    Then Su Nan started synthesizing.

    As he predicted, when he placed 22 bottles of lesser active potions, the synthesis interface showed the active potion had become a Tier 1 high-grade.

    Both the effect and duration were extended.

    However, the mental strength requirement increased to 8 points.

    Su Nan didn’t stop, continuing to place potions into the cube.

    When the number increased to 58 bottles, the synthesis interface suddenly changed.

    [Super Energy Potion (Tier 2 / Low-grade), after consumption, can greatly increase mental activity and enhance energy particle absorption efficiency, extend meditation time, duration: 48 days 4 hours, no stacking effects, consumer’s mental strength must be above 13.]

    “Not bad!”

    Su Nan was delighted.

    This potion’s effects were much stronger than the active potion!

    Especially the enhanced energy particle absorption efficiency combined with the Divine Blood Amber, utterly achieving a greater combined effect.

    Additionally, the duration was extended by nearly half.

    “I wonder what the effects of mid-grade and high-grade are like?”

    Su Nan continued adding potions.

    When the potion quantity increased to 85 bottles, the Super Energy Potion became a Tier 2 mid-grade.

    The effect description didn’t change much, only the duration increased to 54 days, and the mental strength requirement became above 15.

    When the potion quantity increased to 105 bottles—Su Nan added his remaining potions from before—the Super Energy Potion finally became a Tier 2 high-grade.

    [Super Energy Potion (Tier 2 / High-grade), after consumption, can greatly enhance mental activity and significantly improve energy particle absorption efficiency, extend meditation time, duration: 62 days 10 hours, no stacking effects, consumer’s mental strength must be above 18.]

    “A limitation of 18 mental strength.”

    Su Nan shook his head regretfully.

    His current mental power was not even 16, so even though he synthesized a Tier 2 high-grade Super Energy Potion, he couldn’t use it.

    But soon, he regained his spirits.

    Being able to synthesize a Tier 2 mid-grade Super Energy Potion was already impressive.

    For the time being, it was sufficient.

    When his mental strength breaks through to 18, it won’t be too late to synthesize a Tier 2 high-grade Super Energy Potion.

    “A Tier 2 mid-grade Super Energy Potion costs about 850 gold, but its effect lasts less than two months; roughly 5 to 6 thousand gold per year.”

    Su Nan couldn’t help but sigh.

    As a Level 2 wizard apprentice, his expenses are already this high; he can’t imagine how much gold it would cost per year once he becomes a wizard.
