Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

"It's here."

"Yeah, it's finally about to start."

"Don't forget what we agreed on."

"Watch and see how things unfold."

Time flew by quickly, and at this moment, the eleven Great Workshop Masters that had successively emerged from the Endless Spirit Workshop all sensed that the long-awaited election for the Master of Workshop Realm was imminent.

Accompanied by the crisp and orderly sound of bells, chains fell from the sky, accurately landing in front of each Great Workshop Master.

The originally scattered Great Workshop Masters instantly reached out and grabbed the chain that fell before them, holding it firmly. Some were so eager to gain an advantage that they didn't waste even half a second and climbed up quickly.

"Workshop Director Locke, we----"

"Let's go up as well, there might be benefits to being the first."

That's often how people are; when one takes the lead, others will not want to fall behind.

At this moment, the Great Workshop Masters disregarded propriety and started climbing up along the chains.

The chains began to move on their own, pulling everyone toward the center of the plane while ascending, bringing the group to close proximity.

The Great Workshop Masters on the chains were further spurred on, climbing ceaselessly upward.

The entire scene was quite spectacular.

Before long, they reached below the black and white mist, a terrible pressure emanated from above, making many of them feel cold and stiff.

"Wow, being a sin trapped spirit under the Sin Extinguishing Giant Mill must feel like this. Don't tell me we're going to be crushed into pieces over and over; being the Master of Workshop Realm isn't easy."

"We've come this far, there's no way we'd give up now."

Locke involuntarily slowed his climbing speed, staring closely at the mist above, feeling a great terror within.

Faced with this moment, regardless of his discomfort, he had no choice but to persevere.

"Oh my, glowing spots appeared on my body."

The chains continued to ascend, as if someone was pulling them from the top. Everyone was brushed by the surrounding mist, immediately emitting various glowing spots—blood-red, dark green, purple-blue—like manifestations of curse power, varying in intensity.

Locke immediately recalled the analysis by Sorcerer Ivan, their leader.

According to him, when they first took office as workshop directors here, it was very likely that becoming the Master of Workshop Realm required further 'cleansing,' severing all kinds of past shackles and bonds, to become completely innocent and pure.

In other words, these varicolored glowing spots were various vows, agreements, contracts, and alliances unrelated to the Endless Spirit Workshop.

"A leader is truly a leader, predicting everything."

"Now, everyone is likely to become a free spirit; choosing who to elect will now depend purely on one's own will, all previous schemes have gone to waste."

Aiming to rise to the top, Locke's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but he did not stop his actions, climbing up incessantly, quickly engulfed by the mist.

The mist was actually composed of high-level Power of Extinguishing Sin and Power of Purification.

Once his body was fully inside, he for the first time experienced the terrifying Power of Extinguishing Sin and Power of Purification, with the swirling mist scouring him, it felt like being cut into a thousand pieces.

After being scoured by the mist, the glowing spots manifested on his body truly faded.

"The connection to the Three Lives Create All Things Secret Technique is also being purified, I'll have to recalibrate it with our leader and Jenny."

Locke didn't forget to perceive the changes within his body, the washing away of Three Create All Things was quite normal, his only concern was Dante, whom he once sent under the Sin Extinguishing Giant Mill to be crushed day and night; it would be natural for Dante to bear a grudge and revolt.

Thus, he endured the pain penetrating his soul, the shock to his mind, while continually climbing up.

Other Great Workshop Masters felt the same, their thoughts turbulent, constantly weighing various pros and cons.

"Whew----"

It was unknown how long it took, but this torturous journey finally came to an end, as silhouettes climbed out from the bottom, feeling a sudden lightness in their bodies, unable to suppress a sigh of relief.

This was a seemingly simple yet complex world, with an endless mill above and below, both created by Power of Extinguishing Sin and Power of Purification.

Each mill comprised two parts, one white and one black, distinctly divided, clearly of a higher class than the Sin Extinguishing Giant Mill on the ground.

The chains extended from the upper mill, retracting after they reached here.

Soon, all eleven Great Workshop Masters of the Endless Spirit Workshop arrived at this location.

They exchanged glances.

Sure enough, the curse-like glowing spots on everyone had been completely cleansed, and the atmosphere turned eerie.

However, knowing their bounds, no one acted rashly, for there was an eye cast from an unknown source, observing their every move.

'It's here.'

The place was exceptionally quiet, suddenly, papers began to float down.

The Great Workshop Masters felt tense, watching as the papers fell before them, reaching out to catch them.

A piece of white paper, one side depicting a black chain, the other a black mill, with nothing else on it.

They understood in their hearts, these three different items represented the Judgement Purification Scripture, Prisoner Spirit Chain, Sin Extinguishing Mill, and corresponded to their identities as Great Workshop Masters.

They could also sense the small pages contained immense power within.

However, the pages did not belong to them, and needed to be cast toward their envisioned Master of Workshop Realm; the one with the most votes would temporarily delegate this sovereignty over Endless Spirit Workshop.
