In the only wizarding academy in the Kingdom of Pute, ninety-nine percent of the students were wizard apprentices.
This was true for every grade.
It was a very normal situation for higher grades to consist only of wizard apprentices. Since it was a rural academy, even graduated students might only be wizard apprentices.
Those who graduated with the strength of a Level 1 Wizard were a minority in this academy.
From this perspective, Elhua's future seemed hopeless. After all, his own wizarding aptitude, as well as the academy's teaching staff and resources, all told everyone one fact.
Even if he studied here until graduation, becoming a Level 1 Wizard would be a goal that might not be achievable even with great effort.
But Elhua was confident that he would not stop at Level 1 Wizard.
Because he was a three-time transmigator.
Simply put, this was his third life.
Elhua in his first life was just an ordinary person on Earth, an ordinary person among seven billion people, with no special characteristics.
After a traffic accident, Elhua found himself reborn in another world as a baby.
That was Elhua's second life.
The world of his second life was one where humanity had completed space colonization, bringing one planet after another under their control. Technology was highly advanced compared to Earth.
Robots had replaced humans in all industries, and humans no longer needed to work hard, only engaging in intellectual labor.
Controllable nuclear fusion was already an outdated technology.
Light-speed spacecraft had been developed, but scientists discovered that the maximum speed of these ships was limited to the speed of light, a cosmic restriction that could not be broken. After developing light-speed spacecraft, scientists proposed a new plan: to create artificial wormholes, enabling faster travel across the universe.
In that world, Elhua, with the self-awareness of an adult, became a biological scientist and eventually died in a civil war within the Federation.
The high-tech civilization known as the Seven Star Federation was itself composed of different civilizations. Although the forty-two civilizations united to resist external invading forces,
once the threat of external enemies temporarily disappeared, the contradictions between the forty-two civilizations intensified. The supreme governing body of the Federation seemed to exist only in name, unable to resolve regional conflicts, ultimately leading to civil war.
In the small-scale civil war conflicts, habitable planets were pulverized by orbital bombardment.
The planet where Elhua lived was swept by an orbital cannon. The power capable of completely shattering a planet buried everyone on the planet, including Elhua in his laboratory.
Thus, Elhua's second life ended, and his third life began.
In his second life, Elhua did not bring anything from Earth to this high-tech world.
However, in his third life in the wizarding world, he brought something from his second life's high-tech world.
It was the fourth-generation bio-chip, considered cutting-edge technology even in the Seven Star Federation!
Unlike third-generation bio-chips, fourth-generation chips utilized quantum entanglement technology and were claimed to be implantable into consciousness and soul.
Elhua had implanted such a chip before.
According to the research of the Seven Star Federation, the soul was another term for consciousness. Human consciousness originated from the human body, and at the moment of death, consciousness or soul would also die with the body.
The soul was also a form of matter and could not exist independently of the human body.
However, perhaps because Elhua's identity as a transmigrator was very special, even though his physical body turned to dust, his soul did not die. Instead, it initiated an autonomous transmigration, crossing over to the third world and beginning his third life.
This also allowed the chip to be carried into the wizarding world along with his soul.
And it became Elhua's reliance for becoming a wizard.
The chip possessed extremely high computational power and could be considered a supercomputer with analytical capabilities.
The capabilities this supercomputer could exert in this wizarding world were immense.
Although individual strength in this wizarding world was extremely formidable, the living standards of the populace were at the level of Earth's Middle Ages.
Even wizards, with their powerful magic, could not significantly improve their living standards, at least not to the level of Earth's civilization, and certainly not to the level of the second life's high-tech world.
In countries on Earth, a supercomputer could be considered a part of national strength. In the 1950s, the world's top supercomputers could perform thousands of operations per second.
In modern nations, such computers were symbols of national power and played a crucial role in scientific research and computation, simplifying calculations that would have taken ancient people a month to just one day.
By the 2020s, the computational power of supercomputers could reach 100 quintillion operations per second. In just sixty to seventy years, computational power had increased by a factor of ten billion to a hundred billion.
Even if ancient people spent a hundred years calculating, it would be far less than what a supercomputer could compute in one second.
This was a massive increase in computational power.
One second of computation surpassed a hundred years of calculation.
And if even Earth's supercomputers could achieve this level, how much more so the high-tech civilization of the Seven Star Federation?
The fourth-generation bio-chip was the cutting-edge technology of the Seven Star Federation. Its performance and computational power far surpassed Earth's strongest supercomputers by billions or even countless times. In a wizarding world at a medieval level, it was a true "dimensional strike."
Analyzing the material composition of all magical items, analyzing the strength of meditation techniques and categorizing them, constructing the patterns of mental runes...
Elhua did not know how powerful the computational ability in the minds of Level 7 Rule Wizards, who could easily destroy universes, was, or whether it could match or even surpass the fourth-generation chip.
But at least, the computational power of a Level 4 Morning Star Wizard's mind was definitely not as high as the chip's.
Leveraging the differences between magical and technological civilizations, and using the chip to decipher the various challenges in wizarding cultivation, Elhua was very confident that he could at least become a Level 4, or even a Level 5 or higher wizard.
Even when reaching such heights of extraordinary power, the chip might no longer play a critical role, but for Elhua, this was enough.
βOn this remote continent, a Level 4 Morning Star Wizard was already the highest existence.
Among billions of wizard apprentices, one could basically not find anyone who could cultivate to Level 4 Morning Star. For ordinary people, and even for a three-time transmigrator like Elhua, the goal of Level 4 or even Level 5 was already sufficient.
