2025-09-24 16:00:34Half a month later, having concluded his meditation, Grimm approached his captive wild crane. With his psychic senses, he examined the botfly larvae he had painstakingly cultivated within its gizzard.
"Excellent. Another month, and these little fellows will reach maturity. Then it'll be time to..."
Ding...
Just then, a soul signal flashed through Grimm's crystal orb. Frowning, he approached the orb and channelled magic into it.
Grimm wondered who could be contacting him, given how low-key he'd been keeping himself these past days...
"Grimm, I know you're preparing for the trial exams, but I'm contacting you out of necessity."
A bitter smile appeared on the chubby man's face within the crystal ball. This chubby fellow was none other than the one to whom Grimm had consigned the Venus Perfume.
Grimm asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
The crystal ball flickered, revealing a different face.

Chapter 99 The Path of Three Arts
The succession of pronouncements declaring Grimm's acquittal, coupled with the disappearance of the six-pointed star magic array binding his feet, left Grimm feeling as though he'd been transported to another world. His body grew light, and he slumped weakly into the chair, his gaze turning towards the wizard standing in the direction of Blackstone Spire Wizard Academy. Without experiencing an interrogation chamber of this calibre, a wizard apprentice could scarcely comprehend the crushing oppression within. After all, this was a full twelve wizards conducting the interrogation from their lofty positions! "Grimm..." The Blackstone Spire wizard's voice was deliberately measured, causing Grimm's heart to clench. His body, which had just begun to relax, instinctively tensed once more as he watched the wizard warily. But then, the black cat suddenly leapt before Grimm and stood up in a human-like posture, saying, "Heh heh, old chap, let me
Chapter 98 A Mentor's Gaze
Whoosh... When light and sound returned to Grimm's confined space, the now-experienced Grimm hastily shielded his eyes with his sleeve. Only after his vision had adjusted did he survey his surroundings once more. This time, both the Shinuwu sorcerer and Yunli had departed. Standing beside Mina was none other than the portly fellow from the first floor of Blackstone Spire who had signed the seven-ring contract with Grimm. The man wore a grim expression as he remarked, "Grimm, the trouble you've caused me this time far outweighs any I've ever caused you. This interrogation chamber is no laughing matter." Grimm managed only a strained smile, at a loss for words. "Grimm, apprentice sorcerer, it has been confirmed that you indeed acquired the corresponding magic stones through the sale of incense. This constitutes a means of gaining profit through your own ingenuity. Therefore, the source of the magic stones obtained complies with the regulations for
Chapter 97 The Merchant's Proof
"Hmph, is it Grimm you call yourself? Though you seized the reward that was mine, those who backed you shall suffer punishment far exceeding the value of that prize," Mina declared bitterly. Before the assembled wizards, she naturally refrained from displaying her usual overbearing arrogance. It must be said that Mina's figure and appearance were indeed quite striking, like a fiery, voluptuous woman whose character carried a hint of frivolity and arrogance. However, Grimm, that dullard lacking any discerning eye, paused briefly before replying indifferently, "I have no idea what you're talking about." "You—" The fiery-tempered Mina was about to retort when a wizard even more hot-headed than herself cut her off. This was the very wizard who had questioned her earlier at the Hourglass Wizard Academy, and also Mina's teacher – a fully-fledged Second-Class Wizard known as the Undying Fire Soul. "Roar! You insolent youth! Tell me, where did
Chapter 96 The Tribunal
This was a dimly lit chamber, cut off from the outside world. Grimm sat upon a chair in the chamber's centre, resembling a helpless lamb, gazing bewildered and trembling at the unfamiliar surroundings. The magical fluctuations emanating from the six-pointed star magical barrier encircling his chair were potent enough to induce tremors and despair. Seated at the very heart of this barrier, Grimm awaited interrogation by the mysterious, lofty wizards seated upon the elevated platforms surrounding him. Torches replaced the light elemental magic lamps. Twelve wizards sat upon elevated platforms positioned at the six cardinal points of the hexagram barrier beneath Grimm's feet, surveying him from above. The swaying shadows beneath their wide robes exuded an air of mystery, coldness, and absolute, inviolable authority. None of the wizards revealed their true features, their faces concealed. This was a high-security chamber reserved for interrogating full-fledg
Chapter 95 The Inheritance and the Inquisition
A crystal ball? Yet, the instant Grimm lifted the orb, he suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation emanating from it. Startled, his eyes widened in disbelief as he murmured, "It can't be..." Listening closely, one could detect a tremor in Grimm's voice! As for the crystal ball itself, it was undoubtedly a top-grade specimen of exceptional quality. Yet, it was worth no more than a few hundred magic stones at most—hardly worthy of being the reward for this secret realm. What truly caught Grimm's attention was the familiar fluctuation sealed within the crystal ball—it was the fluctuation of a soul! A split soul? Wizards could indeed split souls, forming the foundation for gathering soul slaves. However, a wizard below the fourth rank, even one most skilled in soul magic, could only split a very limited number of souls. Grimm didn't know the exact number, but it certainly wouldn't exceed ten times. Now, receiving th
Chapter 94 The Seven Pillars
When Soranm, Yunli, Bibilyanna, and Grimm returned to the secret realm, the other three Despairers had long since grown restless from waiting. Two of them even flew over, fixing their gaze directly upon Grimm. Grimm found it rather peculiar. Why hadn't these individuals entered the secret realm themselves? "Well, well, this must be the Pale Mask Victor spoke of. To withstand Mina's Blazing Inferno Realm head-on... truly astonishing..." A cloyingly sweet voice drifted over. Grimm looked up to see a woman in a long, red-and-green-patterned gown, its fabric embroidered with countless scarlet scorpions. One astonishingly slender, pale leg was exposed. More captivating still was the mysterious golden glint glimpsed between her high, full, snow-white peaks—a sight inviting endless imagination. Yet she wore an expression of sanctimonious, untouchable purity, while those soul-stealing eyes seemed to convey some subtle, suggestive message. A vis
