Chapter 69 Soaring Popularity

He was waiting for the dean's announcement excitedly.

The others also looked expectant.

In the school, no one had ever been able to obtain the gold medal in the knight tower.

They only got the bronze and silver medals.

Even so, the reward they got was enough to make them excited.

Then what would the reward of a gold medal be? Everyone stared at the battle ring, waiting for the reward from the dean.

Clear smiled and a book appeared in his hand.

The surface of the book was yellow, and there was magic to protect it.

Marcus could feel at a glance that the magic of protection was very strong. Except for the dean, no one in the school could break it.

"This is a high-level sword skill, which is called illusory light hacking. Now I'll pass it on to you."

As soon as the dean finished his words, the high-level sword skill was in Marcus's hand.

The audience's eyes lit up. They had never expected that the reward of the gold medal would be a book of high-level swordsmanship.

This was a high-level sword skill!

With their current situation, they would probably never be reached.

But Marcus could have one now.

Everyone's eyes became more and more fervent.

Marcus took the book and couldn't help but feel excited.

This was the reward he could receive after reaching the tenth floor of the knight tower.

That was good.

And the dean was really satisfied with Marcus and was willing to take him to reach a higher level.

The sword Marcus was using now was the one he bought in the chamber of commerce. It was not in line with his strength at all.

So, the dean turned over his hands and took out another sword.

This sword trick looked ordinary at first glance, but the more people looked at it, the more they liked it.

Marcus's eyes were almost completely glued to the sword after touching it.

The blade of the sword flashed a cold light. When the dean changed the direction of the sword, the cold light would also shift, which was enough to prove its sharpness.

"This sword is called dragon claw. Now I've also given it to you. I hope you can hold this sword and give full play to your strength."

The dean also taught Marcus how to use this sword.

Holding the dragon claw in his hand, he could feel its heavy touch and a sense of coldness.

Marcus held the sword in his hands and nodded excitedly.

Now there were too many people and too many people. After taking these two things, the dean also left the party.

Marcus followed him and went back to his dormitory.

"Chip, analyze the illusory light hacking."

Marcus couldn't wait to ask the chip to analyze the latest high-level swordsmanship.

"It's being analyzed."

"Illusory light hacking, a high-level sword skill. Once it is performed, the illusory light will appear in the air and the opponent with an uncertain mind will be involuntarily guided by you. Practice requires a higher-level spiritual power. Do you want to practice it now?"

"Let's begin."

Marcus nodded and practiced the illusory light hacking under the guidance of the chip.

No wonder it was a high-level sword skill. He had a different feeling from the beginning.

The illusory light hacking was very powerful, and the required spirit power was also high. Marcus couldn't reach it yet.

Therefore, when learning sword moves, he could only learn its moves, but could not fully display its strength.

"Two percent proficient in swordsmanship."

"Three percent proficient in swordsmanship."

"Fifteen percent proficient in swordsmanship."

As Marcus practiced, again and again, his proficiency kept changing, and his understanding of the illusory light hacking was getting deeper and deeper.

"Fifty-two percent proficient in swordsmanship."

Then, his proficiency was stuck at a number and it didn't move anymore. No matter how hard Marcus practiced, it wouldn't grow anymore.

Marcus wiped the sweat off his forehead before he recovered from his crazy practice.

This was because his spirit power was too low. He had learned all the moves of swordsmanship. As for the core of it, only when his spirit power was improved could he understand it.

Marcus was not in a hurry and decided to have a rest.

Marcus seldom lived in the dormitory now.

This time, he wanted to try the illusory light hacking as soon as possible.

Since he couldn't make any progress now, Marcus packed up and went back to his home.

After the party, Marcus's name once again spread widely.

In addition to the school, all the streets and alleys in the city were talking about Marcus.

Everyone knew that there was a talented student in the school.

He was not only powerful but also favored by the dean. He also obtained a high-level sword skill and a sword.

Now it was very likely that he would enter the Royal Knight School, which made Marcus become a popular star.

"Have you heard that there is a genius in the school? He is really something. He has a high-level sword skill. Not many families have such a skill in our city, right?"

"Of course, I've heard about it. But it's a pity that people like me have no way out. Otherwise, I must marry my daughter to him and get along with him."

"You're right. But there must be a lot of people who want to make friends with him. It's not our turn."

Ordinary people were still discussing, and so were some aristocrats and people with sensitive information.

Some of them had other plans.

Marcus used to be a nobody, but now he was totally different.

Someone immediately found an opportunity to contact Marcus.

Marcus's dormitory was crowded with people.

These well-dressed noblemen, with their delicate daughters around them.

These girls pointed at the door shyly and whispered to their parents.

"I've found out that Marcus's dormitory is here."

"It seems that Marcus is really popular now. We can't miss this opportunity. We must get him." One of them said, holding his daughter's hand.

"Okay, Dad." His daughter nodded vigorously. Thinking of Marcus's handsome face, she couldn't help but look forward to it.

The people outside didn't yield to each other. Everyone wanted to see Marcus as soon as possible,

Jostling with each other, these were their current competitors.

When someone managed to squeeze into the dormitory with his daughter, it was empty, as if there had been no one there for a long time.

These people widened their eyes in an instant.

Although they were a little anxious, they could only retreat helplessly.

Marcus certainly knew what had happened in the dormitory. After all, there was news about him now, but the whole school, even the whole city, was full of air.

As long as he inquired about it, he would know everything.

Some fanatic girls abandoned their reserve as noble ladies completely.

They not only stayed in Marcus's dormitory but also stayed at any possible place where Marcus might appear.

The girls were well-dressed and would pounce on Marcus as long as he showed up.

Marcus had no choice but to come to Clear.

It was not a good thing to be too popular.

Marcus understood this feeling very well.

"You are so popular now. You have become a superstar of our school."

Anja joked as she entered the dean's office with Marcus.

She stole a glance at Marcus's reaction and his possible answer.

"This kind of affection is too horrible. I would rather have nothing."

Marcus shook his head in a hurry. He couldn't bear such enthusiasm.

Amused by him, Anja burst into laughter and felt relieved.

It seemed that Marcus had no interest in these girls.

Then she would have the opportunity to become his girlfriend.

Anja didn't dare to think about it anymore. It was too embarrassing.

While the two of them were talking, they had arrived at the dean's office.

After opening the door, the dean was still busy with his lab.

"Why are you here?" Clear was surprised to see him.

Marcus smiled sheepishly and told Clear his current situation.

This time, he came to the lab for something more important.

Although the dean didn't accept him as his student, Marcus couldn't leave the magic pharmacy behind.

He still needed to rely on this to make money and support his practice and study.

The dean agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, for the time being, you can stay in my lab."

Instead of being a teacher, he was still dean of Marcus.

"Thank you, dean." Marcus expressed his gratitude to Clear.

"I will teach you something during this period of time, but how much can you remember is up to you."

Clear patted Marcus on the shoulder and Marcus nodded vigorously.
