Angele was busy in his endeavor of advancing to the next stage. He had no time in developing a relationship with Nancy. She had taken care of Angele’s daily needs in the recent years, and Angele would give her suggestions on breaking the limit from time to time. Besides paying her salary, Angele also shared some knowledge of spell models to Nancy for free.

Basic spell models were nothing to Angele already, as he could easily explain the tricks on how to master level 0 spells to Nancy.

Angele had already learned of Nancy attempting to break the limit twice. At the first attempt, she nearly succeeded but mishap occurred at the last step, while the second attempt was a mess.

Nancy had never been fully prepared for the challenge. Angele was different, as he knew his own success rate meanwhile Nancy had to test her own luck. Water of Asu was important for the process, but wizard apprentices would develop resistance to its effects after several usages and their success rate would greatly plunge. Moreover, drinking two servings of Water of Asu was an extremely risky action. Angele had the help of a Nightmare Potion and the energy stored in the chip. Otherwise, it was highly likely that he would fail in breaking the limit.

Angele was uncertain if a Nightmare Potion would still be effective for Nancy’s limit breaking considering how she had already failed in doing so twice. If anything went wrong during the process, she would lose her life. Nancy did not have a chip like Angele to store excess energy.

Even at present, wizards still continued to debate on the issue of the best method for wizard apprentices to break the limit. The main effect of Water of Asu was to help the wizard apprentice burn their potential and reach their limit within a short period of time. If the wizard apprentice failed to break the limit during that time, their body would be permanently damaged.

Angele doubted if there was still any potential left for Nancy to burn.

Nancy returned to the living room after Wisp left.

Angele was still seated on the sofa thinking about the offer Wisp mentioned. He saw Nancy walking up to him and pointed at the chair on the opposite side.

"Take a seat. I need to talk to you," he ordered.

"Sure." Nancy knew she had made the right choice after seeing the number of rare materials Angele was purchasing. She once witnessed Angele handing a two-meter-tall Piranha Flower and knew Angele’s potion concocting skills were on a different level.

Piranha Flowers were hard to collect and could easily be sold for more than 10,000 regular magic stones in the market. The taller the Piranha Flower was, the higher its value would be. Most wizards would use it to make some mid to high-level potions and would not sell it just for magic stones. Many rare materials like the Piranha Flower were constantly being delivered to Angele.

Nancy decided to stay with Angele as long as she could.

She walked to the chair and sat down quietly.

"What’s your future plan?" Angele questioned calmly, "Are you still trying to break the limit? You already failed twice."

"Yeah…I reached rank 3 and my life expectancy is longer than mortals’. I still have a lot of time left." Clearly, Nancy still wanted to become a formal wizard.

"Let me explain something to you." Angele was trying to explain the situation to her. "Your potential is burning off. The more potential you burn during the last step, the higher your chance of succeeding will be. Your potential is determined by your talent level. Although your talent level is high, you should still consider giving up, you don’t have much potential left. Even if you succeed on the third try, it’ll take a long time for your body to recover from the damage."
