Hearing this, Alice's pretty face immediately turned red. "I was just concerned about a friend!"

"Oh, so it was concern about a friend," Elise revealed a meaningful smile.

When she was in high school, she had always liked to tease Alice.

Basically, every time, she would return the other party's indifferent look.

But now, it was different. Whenever the mention of Hughes was mentioned, the other party would blush and shy away.

So, this also led to her liking to use Hughes to tease Alice.

After all, not only did boys like to look at shy beauties, she also liked to look at them!

Alice's perfect figure, fairy-like appearance, and shy posture, even as a girl, she could not resist calling out!

"You asked for this!"

Looking at Elise's expression, Alice gritted her teeth and pounced on her, starting a tickle fight.

Both of them had very good figures. Moreover, it was summer now, so their battle uniforms were taken off as soon as they entered the villa.

...

The magic points needed to be obtained by hunting demon beasts to level up.

Therefore, in the following period of time, Hughes began to hunt demon beasts in a frenzy.

Every day, he would wake up at seven in the morning, wash up, and eat. Then, he would immediately go to the catacombs to hunt demon beasts and train his actual combat ability.

He would only leave the catacombs at around seven in the evening and start to meditate.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, he would chat with Alice on his cell phone for a while, and then he would directly wash up and go to bed.

Occasionally, he would take out a day to go to teacher Kate's side to ask some cultivation questions.

Just like that, twenty days had passed.

That day, at seven o'clock in the evening, on the second floor of villa 213, in the training room.

Hughes sat on the ground and stared ahead.

In his line of sight, there was a light blue virtual interface:

[Host: Hughes]

[Realm: Advanced mage, (Advanced +)]

[Magic attributes: Light Magic (SS), Dark Magic (SS)]

[Mana points: 1,451 points]

[Magic: Chained Light Arrows (Arm wielding), light sword of punishment (intermediate), blind (intermediate)]

[Contract magical beasts: None]

[Magic tool: Lorelei's Secret Tome]

"I've finally collected enough mana points to level up to an elemental mage."

Looking at the plus sign at the end of his realm, Hughes revealed a happy smile.

A high-level advanced mage. Ten days after he first entered the catacombs, he had completed his advancement through the system.

From high-level intermediate to high-level advanced, he had spent a total of ten days, 700 mana points.

After that, he hunted monsters in the catacombs for another 10 days and finally gathered enough mana points to advance to an elementalist today.

"Advance!"

Without much hesitation, Hughes directly used his mind to click on the plus sign at the end of the level.

Bang!

The moment he clicked on the plus sign, a dull sound came from his spiritual mind.

Then, the golden demonic energy in his spiritual mind seemed to boil, moving crazily in an irregular trajectory in his spiritual mind.

Moreover, new golden demonic energy appeared out of thin air in his spiritual mind, boiling with it!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Outside, the demonic energy in the entire training room seemed to gather like a tornado, rushing toward the eye of the tornado in the middle.

And at this moment, Hughes was at the eye of the tornado.

...

At this time, on the first floor of villa 213, Otis sat on the sofa after training as usual. He was stroking the young wolf while watching TV.

The wolf was now as big as a medium-sized dog. Stroking it was just right.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he sensed the unusual movement of magic power and frowned. He looked at the second floor. "What is big brother Hughes doing? Such a big movement, even I can sense it."

Opposite, villa 523.

Alice and Elise were wearing loose clothes. They looked like they had just taken a shower. They were sitting on the sofa and watching TV.

"Alice, do you feel the magic fluctuation from the opposite dormitory?"

Elise, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly asked in puzzlement.

"Yes, I felt it."

Alice nodded, and then said in puzzlement, "Moreover, this fluctuation seems to be an advancement."

"Advancement?"

Elise was slightly surprised. "The opposite dormitory is where Hughes and his roommates are. Could it be that one of them is advancing?"

"It's possible."

Alice's gaze focused as she looked at the second floor of the villa opposite. "My contract beast told me that the abnormal mana fluctuations are coming from the second floor. It's very likely that Hughes is advancing."

"Hughes?"

Elise's pupils constricted as she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't he a high-level advanced magician who just advanced a while ago? It's impossible for him to advance again so quickly, right?"

"You have to know that even you and I have only just entered a high-level advanced mage not too long ago."

Apart from advancing through meditation, a mage's level could also be accelerated through some external means.

As for her and Alice, apart from using the most advanced meditation technique, they had also been using magic potions to speed up.

Even so, they were only high-level advanced mages.

As for Hughes, they had also understood that before he became a mage, he was just an ordinary person with no other background.

Under such circumstances, the resources that Hughes had would definitely be inferior to theirs. How could his level rise faster than theirs?

Because they knew this, everyone was even more shocked in their hearts.

"I'm just guessing. It's not certain whether it's the fluctuation of the advancement."

Alice picked up the watermelon on the coffee table and started to eat it.

In San Pedro city, which was getting hotter and hotter, it was a great happiness to eat a mouthful of icy cold watermelon!

"By the way, should we go to the opposite side and ask them what's going on?" Elise's eyes lit up.

"That's not good." Alice put down the watermelon and said with a silly look.

"What's not good about that? Don't you want to know whether or not Hughes has advanced?" Elise asked back. Then, she turned her eyes and pointed at the watermelon on the coffee table as if she thought of something:

"We can say that we were there to treat him to watermelon."

"Alright then."

Although she was a little embarrassed about going to Hughes' place, Alice was really curious about his progress in cultivation, so she still agreed.

...

Hughes did not know what was happening in the outside world.

At this point, his consciousness was immersed in his spiritual mind, observing the changes in it.
