Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Assessment Concludes

Duke pondered for a moment. If he were to take this Space Ring for himself, it would only mean an additional, slightly larger Space Ring for him. However, that would also entail the risk of being targeted by the Jokic Clan. Compared to that risk, this Space Ring was not worth it. Duke didn't let this bit of benefit cloud his judgment and ultimately chose to give up this Space Ring, taking only the Level one Magic Stone and some Magic Potion Materials inside. His Starlight Vine was among them, and having the Starlight Vine meant that this assessment task was at least completed. Not only that, Duke also found the eyeball of a Colorless Lizard among these Magic Potion Materials, stored in a test tube with a label on it, likely a material Uli used for refining Magic Potions daily. This assessment did not restrict the sources of Magic Potion Materials. If you were lucky enough, you might have already had all five kinds of Magic Potion Materials without needing to spend time searching, just waiting for the end of the assessment to submit them. After checking these things, Duke put them all into his own Space Ring, then sent Uli's Space Ring into the underwater current, which would carry it to the depths of the sea. After finishing all this, he didn't return to that cave but instead went directly to the seabed far from the bottom of the cave. Duke was not planning to show himself anymore and decided to stay underwater until the end of the assessment, occasionally surfacing for air. His assessment task was completed; there was no need to continue taking risks. For the task, he had collected four out of the five kinds of Magic Potion Materials, only missing the teeth of the Sharp-toothed Bat. Duke didn't plan to risk himself just for these five contribution points and settled down on the seabed for Meditation Practice. The chaos on the island was no longer his concern. Duke enjoyed the peaceful practice time underwater. In the blink of an eye, it was dusk on the third day of the assessment, and the ships docked beside the island. With the sound of a conch horn, the end of this assessment was announced. The Wizard Apprentices on the island came out one after another, boarding the ships. Duke landed at a secluded spot, shaking off the seawater on his body before heading towards the ship. On the way, he encountered Simon and a few others - besides Simon's three, there were two more from the small group at the gathering that day. With Duke, only Went was not there. Simon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Duke and said, "Glad you're okay. Did you find the Starlight Vine? We found another one and can give it to you to complete your task."
