Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: 008: The Surprised Goblin

Early the next morning, Adam came to see Lynch.

Since his return, Adam had successfully joined the Law Enforcement Team, donned the Black Robe, and became a proud Law Enforcer.

The Law Enforcement Team was always busy. Not long ago, he’d been sent out on a mission and missed Subaru and the others’ assessment. It was only this morning that he returned.

Apparently, he didn’t even have time for breakfast and rushed straight to Lynch’s mansion upon his return.

Lynch initially thought that something significant had happened, but Adam’s train of thought was truly perplexing.

Adam, looking baffled, asked, "I couldn’t find your name on the competition roster. What’s going on?"

Lynch replied, "I didn’t register."

Adam raised an eyebrow. "Didn’t register? How could you not register? Don’t you know how important this is?!"

Uh...

Was he referring to the Netta Apprentice allocation?

Lynch was just about to explain when Adam continued, "I was even planning to have a fair duel with you in the tournament, to determine a victor. How could you not register?"

"......"

The corner of Lynch’s mouth twitched.

Shaking his head, he said, "I’m not particularly interested in these tournaments, besides..."

Pausing, he smirked, "Do we really need to fight?"

Adam’s face turned beet red.

He shouted, "I wasn’t at my best in the cave! At that time, we weren’t prepared, and I was put on the defensive right from the start."

Lynch remarked, "Alright, alright. I get it, I get it."

Objectively speaking, Adam’s strength was indeed commendable, even one of the best in their rank.

But the gap between them was just too large.

Adam said irritably, "Stop underestimating me, will you? Look at this!"

He deliberately pulled down his collar to reveal the badge hidden beneath the folds—a badge adorned with two Wisdom Leaves.

Lynch was stunned. "A Mid-level Apprentice?"

This indeed took him by surprise.

Adam grinned. "Heh, didn’t see that coming, did you? I’m not the only one who’s advanced to Mid-level Apprentice."

"And..."

Pausing, he added confidently, "The current me is no longer who I was in the cave. I’m absolutely confident I can utterly defeat you!"

Curious, Lynch glanced at him and immediately wondered, "Is it related to the Abyss teleportation? Did you bring something back from there?"

Adam smirked. "Not telling! If you want to find out, come face me in the arena!"

So it really was...

The Abyss’s effects on the body were unpredictable. It could inflict irreversible damage—like the Abyss Scholar Saros, who lost his entire body—but it could also grant power that strengthened one’s abilities.

Adam, brimming with excitement, said, "So? Are you coming to the arena now?"

Lynch shook his head. "No, thanks!"

Although curious about Adam’s changes, it wasn’t something that required him to enter the arena.

Pausing, he said, "If you want a sparring match, we can do that privately anytime. Why waste spiritual energy in the arena?"

Adam shook his head firmly. "It’s not the same!"

He instinctively gripped his Cross Sword, his eyes glowing with fervor. "Only a victory decided under the spotlight of the arena holds true meaning. Only there would we give it our all."
