Just as Byron was wondering and guessing, Isolde began to explain why such a change occurred.

"Regarding the first four conditions, no matter what method you use to meet the requirements, as long as you can achieve them, it will not have any impact on the final result."

"But for this last item, using different methods will have a significant impact on the final result."

"Because a Baptism, in other words, uses immense high-dimensional energy to scour your body, Soul, and Mental Energy, in order to completely sever the shackles of mortal life rules and thoroughly transform into another form, which is what is commonly referred to as a long-lived species."

"And the reason I say that Sentience has a great relationship with the Baptism is that during the process of the Baptism, you will suffer various tests of your spirit."

"If you do not have Sentience, it is very easy to get lost during the Baptism process, which will lead to an incomplete Baptism and a failure to fully transform."

"In this way, you will need to make up for it bit by bit in your long life ahead."

"Therefore, the requirement of Baptism is usually carried out last, after the Wizard has met the previous four requirements."

"Because in this way, not only is safety guaranteed, but it can also bring the first four items into a transition, forming a complete closed loop of the five conditions."

As she spoke, the three rings of different sizes floated in front of Byron.

The previous four rings now began to split, dividing into three identical sets of rings, which then interlocked with the three rings of different sizes, forming a chain connected end-to-end that kept rotating in the air.

The first chain became even larger under the guidance of the Baptism.

The second chain maintained its original size, showing no change.

As for the third one, the first four rings did not change at all, but the ring representing the Baptism, which was a size smaller, became a weakness for the entire chain.

Looking at the three chains of different sizes floating before him, Byron could now intuitively feel the impact brought about by the different types of Baptism.

Just then, Isolde held up three fingers and continued.

"There are three ways to conduct a Baptism: the best is the World Baptism, followed by the wizard tower Baptism, and the worst is the potion Baptism."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Byron's mind.

So that was it. No wonder he had said that the first plan included three portions of Baptism potions, while the second plan became one World Baptism.

It turned out that they were not on the same level to begin with.

To put it in slightly inaccurate terms, it would take three portions of Baptism potions to compare to one World Baptism.

From this, one can imagine just how great the difference between them is.

"A World Baptism is to use the Origin of a complete world to perform the Baptism."

"This method places a heavy burden on the world. In the past, when it first appeared, the Origin of the Wizard World was used."

"But it was later discovered that it would cause an impact on the Wizard World, so it was stopped and changed to those worlds that had been conquered."

"In this way, not only can the Wizard receive the strongest Baptism, allowing the previously fixed first four items to be elevated together, but on the other hand, it can also better control that world and make it obedient."

"The wizard tower Baptism is performed by a Stigmata Wizard who activates their own wizard tower to conduct the Baptism."

"In this way, the strength of the Baptism is determined by the Stigmata Wizard's wizard tower; a strong one can rival a World Baptism, while a weak one can at least achieve a balance with the first four items, neither too good nor too bad."

"As for the potion Baptism, that is a shortcut method, usually used for those Wizards in otherworldly colonies or those who can only barely achieve a Breakthrough."

"Once a potion Baptism is used, although it won't have a huge impact, it will create an obvious weakness, or result in the Baptism being incomplete."

After saying this, Isolde waved her hand, and the chains composed of the second and third Baptisms disappeared.

"However, you have now completed the last and most difficult link, obtaining the qualification for a World Baptism."

"So you don't need to worry about the impact brought by the Baptism; you just need to complete the other items step by step."

"These five items progress layer by layer and support each other. If any one link is missing, one cannot be called a true Wizard, but is just not much different from the long-lived creatures of other worlds."

Hearing this, Byron could be considered to have a clear understanding of the various conditions required to promote to an Official Wizard.

But even so, Byron still asked a question that had been in his heart for a long time.

"Then, Mentor, other Wizard Apprentices cannot obtain the qualification for a Baptism like me, so how do they obtain the qualification for a Baptism?"

"Also, the academy recruits new students every five years, and the fourth-year students all disappear at the same time. Does this have anything to do with the Baptism?"

Hearing this, Isolde looked at Byron in surprise, and then a look of appreciation appeared in her eyes.

"I didn't expect your observation to be so meticulous and your imagination to be so rich; it even surprised me."

Isolde nodded: "You guessed correctly. The enrollment of new students, the disappearance of old students, and the Baptism are inextricably linked."

"Whenever the fourth year is nearing graduation, all Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices and Limit Wizard Apprentices who meet the requirements will enter a testing ground."

"And the reason they enter it is very simple: to determine what kind of Baptism they will receive, and at the same time, this also relates to the quality of new students the academy recruits."

As soon as these words were spoken, many questions that had troubled Byron for a long time were explained.

Byron asked again: "Then what about the other students who didn't meet the requirements?"

Isolde's voice was calm: "Those who have not reached the level of a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice must fulfill the contract signed with the academy."

"Enter the various worlds dominated by Stigmata Wizards to complete various tasks, such as clearing out stubborn natives, entering otherworldly wizard academies to teach students and cultivate battle Wizards for the academy, or managing a certain territory..."

"It starts from graduation and can only end after the fifty-year term expires."

"As for after becoming an Official Wizard, one also needs to execute a fifty-year contract to perform certain tasks, but the time is greatly pushed back."

"Because the Wizard Council stipulates that after every Wizard Apprentice becomes an Official Wizard, they will be given two hundred years to adapt."

"Because after two hundred years, the promoted Official Wizard must perform mandatory tasks; it can be advanced, but not delayed."

"And after the first time, for every mandatory task performed, there is only one hundred years of rest time."

"Otherwise, if one were to go directly to the battlefield after promoting to an Official Wizard, it would easily lead to the death of the Wizard."

"The academy dares not break this rule, so it can only postpone it, extracting fifty years from the one-hundred-year rest period after the student completes a mandatory task to use for service."

After saying this, Isolde seemed to have thought of something and waved her hand at Byron.

"Alright, that's enough about these things. No matter how much more is said, you cannot change it, and even if you know it, it's useless. As for the rest, wait until you become an Official Wizard, and someone will naturally tell you."

Byron, however, smiled mysteriously: "Mentor, that is not necessarily the case."
