Chapter 180: Advancing to Wizard

Chapter 180: Advancing to Wizard

After making his decision, Su Nan wasted no time and immediately put his plan into action.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a bottle of Construction Elixir, and drank it. Then, he began to construct the model of a Talent Crystal.

Under the influence of the Construction Elixir, Su Nan felt his mental energy surge to an astonishing level.

The speed at which he constructed runes increased by several dozen times!

In fact, the Construction Elixir also significantly enhanced his meditation efficiency.

However, the Construction Elixir was extremely precious, and most people wouldn't use it for meditation.

That would be a waste of a valuable resource!

With the combined effects of Divine Blood Amber, Transcendent Elixir, Elemental Pool, and Construction Elixir, Su Nan's speed in constructing the Talent Crystal model skyrocketed, advancing at an unprecedented pace.

In just thirteen days, he successfully constructed the second Talent Crystal model.

Carefully fusing the Talent Crystal model with the Divine Energy Crystal, Su Nan wasted no time and immediately started on the third model.

Thirteen days later, the third Talent Crystal model was successfully constructed.

Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth models...

With eighty-six bottles of Construction Elixir at his disposal, Su Nan had no need to worry about running out. He was also not the least bit stingy, immediately taking a second bottle once the effects of the first wore off.

Every time he constructed a Talent Crystal model, he would open the Synthesis Cube to check the fusion progress.

When the number of lower-grade Talent Crystal models in the Synthesis Cube reached four, the synthesis interface finally displayed the words "Intermediate Talent Crystal Model."

When the number increased to twelve, the word "Intermediate" instantly changed to "Advanced."

When the number broke through the twenty mark and reached twenty-five, the final product on the synthesis interface became a "Super Talent Crystal Model."

"Success!"

Looking at the shining Talent Crystal model on the synthesis interface, Su Nan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

After all the effort and time, he had finally synthesized the Talent Crystal model he desired.

Throughout the history of wizards, this was likely the first Talent Crystal model to surpass the advanced level!

Su Nan tried to absorb the Divine Energy Crystal, which carried the Talent Crystal model, into his body. After focusing his mind to sense the changes, he nodded in approval.

"The load is not significant; I can continue to synthesize and strengthen it!"

Since he had decided to create an unprecedentedly powerful Talent Crystal model, he couldn't stop at just the "Super" level.

He needed to synthesize and strengthen it to the limits of his capacity, just like he had done with the Magic Pattern Core.

Taking a deep breath, Su Nan continued constructing.

The twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth...

Every thirteen days, a new Divine Energy Crystal would be added to the Synthesis Cube.

Each time he synthesized, Su Nan would absorb it into his body and check if he was approaching his limit.

It wasn't until he had fused the thirty-second crystal that he finally felt the familiar sense of reaching his limit.

It felt very similar to when he had fused the Magic Pattern Core...

"It seems thirty-two is the limit."

Su Nan let out a sigh of relief, but he also felt a bit disappointed.

He still had plenty of Construction Elixir left. If he could synthesize eighty-six Talent Crystal models, using up all the elixirs, that would be ideal.

However, he also understood that his desire was a bit greedy.

To synthesize an Advanced Talent Crystal model, one only needed twelve lower-grade models.

But the final product he had now had used thirty-two lower-grade models, and its effects were far more than just double that of an Advanced Talent Crystal. It was at least five to six times as powerful, if not more.

Advancing to a wizard with this unprecedented Talent Crystal, his future strength and potential would undoubtedly far surpass those of other wizards.

Being too greedy would be unwise.

Shaking his head with a smile, Su Nan calmed his thoughts and carefully absorbed the Divine Energy Crystal into his body, then began to assimilate it.

With his previous experience of absorbing Divine Energy, the entire process went smoothly.

Soon, the Divine Energy Crystal, serving as the carrier, disappeared, merging into Su Nan's mental energy.

At the same time, the Talent Crystal model appeared.

A beautiful crystal, embodying the ultimate elegance of natural laws, floated in his mind, radiating a mesmerizing, soft glow that was breathtaking.

"Now, only the final step remains!"

A relaxed smile spread across Su Nan's face.

The most challenging part of constructing a Talent Crystal was the second step. The last step was just a matter of persistence.

Although this unprecedented Super Talent Crystal would undoubtedly require a vast amount of mental energy to fill, with the Golden Apple and over ten Mental Pearls, the process should not be too difficult.

Taking a Mental Pearl in hand, Su Nan began the final step of crystallization.

The entire process required no special technique; it was simply a matter of filling the model with mental energy.

Until an entire Spirit Pearl was consumed, the Super Talent Crystal model was only filled to less than two percent.

Su Nan wasn’t sure whether to be worried or pleased. The amount of mental energy required to fill the Super Talent Crystal was indeed exaggerated.

Under normal circumstances, a single Spirit Pearl could fill more than half of a Lower Talent Crystal model.

But now, it could only fill a small portion of the Super Talent Crystal model.

Even using over ten Spirit Pearls would only fill it to less than thirty percent.

However, the more mental energy required for filling, the more powerful the Talent Crystal would be.

This was undoubtedly a good thing.

"I can only use the Golden Apple."

Taking the Golden Apple from his spatial ring, Su Nan looked at the golden fruit with a slight reluctance.

This was one of his biggest trump cards.

Using it like this still stung a bit.

But thinking about the decades it would take to fill the Talent Crystal model, Su Nan gritted his teeth and ate the Golden Apple.

Considering the effect only lasted for an hour, Su Nan didn’t waste any time. He immediately focused his mind, channeling mental energy into the model.

Mental energy poured into the model from all directions, and the crystallized portion slowly increased at a visible rate, emitting an increasingly brilliant and dazzling light.

The hour passed in a flash.

When the effects of the Golden Apple faded, the Talent Crystal model was already about two-thirds filled.

"Indeed, the Golden Apple’s effect is much stronger!"

Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The feeling of boundless mental energy, as if it could never be depleted, was truly wonderful.

If it could last just another half-hour, it would have been enough to completely crystallize the model.

After resting for a while, Su Nan took out a Spirit Pearl and continued filling the model.

Using all the Spirit Pearls in one go, the model’s filling ratio reached around 95%.

"The rest is just a matter of patience."

Su Nan exhaled.

Compared to starting from zero, the remaining five percent was much simpler.

Over the following time, Su Nan repeated the process of filling mental energy, meditating to recover, and then filling mental energy again.

Despite the monotony, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction as he watched the model inch closer to completion, never finding it tedious.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last bit of the model was filled and crystallized, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from the model—no, from the crystal itself.

The entire crystal radiated a beautiful and magnificent glow, more stunning than the most precious gem in the world!

At the same time, a profound sense of elevation, as if from the depths of his soul, surged up from within him.

Su Nan slowly opened his eyes. A large amount of rare metals appeared in front of him, melting like heated butter and flowing into his skin as a liquid.

His originally fair skin gradually took on a silvery hue as the metal liquid merged with it.

In no time, Su Nan had transformed into a silver humanoid figure.

As time passed, the silver gradually faded, sinking into his skin and disappearing.

Su Nan’s face reappeared, a look of immense joy spreading across it.

The Talent Crystal had been successfully constructed, meaning that from this moment on, he was officially a Wizard, his life essence evolving to a higher level!

Reflecting on his journey so far, Su Nan couldn’t help but sigh.

It had taken about twenty years, but he had finally broken through to become a Wizard!

On the Starlight Continent, where elemental energy was scarce, reaching this point had required countless efforts and mental fortitude, even with his golden finger.

And all these efforts were now richly rewarded!

Advancing to Wizard meant he had truly transcended the mundane, evolving to a higher level of existence.

From this moment on, he was truly on the path of a Wizard.

After a while, Su Nan came back to his senses.

He stretched his body and stood up, feeling no stiffness despite sitting motionless for so long. Instead, he felt brimming with energy.

His mind was clear, and his senses were noticeably sharper.

It was as if a veil had been lifted from the world, revealing it in a new light.

"Perception of energy particles is much clearer now, and my control over them has significantly improved."

Su Nan snapped his fingers, and a crackling bolt of electricity appeared at his fingertip, striking the white marble floor nearby and instantly creating a deep crater in the incredibly hard surface.

"Excellent!"

A satisfied smile spread across Su Nan’s face.

He could clearly feel that the number of energy particles he could mobilize within a unit of time had increased by more than tenfold, and his control precision had also greatly improved.

Now, even a casual strike with energy particles was no weaker than a second-level spell he used to cast.

If he were to use actual spells, their power would be even greater.

More importantly, the mental energy consumption for casting spells would be significantly reduced.

Starting from this realm, a wizard’s endurance in battle would greatly increase, earning them the nickname of "human walking cannons."

Of course, the lowest consumption was still for innate abilities.

Almost negligible.

So, in most cases, wizards preferred to use innate abilities in combat.

In addition, wizards could project their mental energy outward to form a mental field around their body.

This mental field would not affect their daily life but would automatically resist damage when attacked, providing protection 24/7.

This was also the main reason why wizards were difficult to ambush and kill.

"Speaking of which, now that I've advanced to the rank of a wizard, I can start using wizard tools."

Su Nan’s eyes glinted with excitement.

Glimmer-level magic items were gradually becoming insufficient for his current strength. Previously, he was limited by his mental energy, which prevented him from using higher-level magic items. Now, with his realm breakthrough, those limitations were gone.

Su Nan decided immediately that he would synthesize a few wizard tools when he returned.

Innate abilities, spells, and wizard tools were the three primary tools a wizard used.

A competent wizard needed to learn how to combine these three elements to build their own combat system.

The importance of wizard tools to a wizard was self-evident.

After calming his thoughts, Su Nan summoned his personal interface.

Su Nan Anester, Human Male

Gasification: 1.34%

Skills

Star Ring Meditation Lv19 (MAX)



Potion Making Lv4 (9617/10000)



Biological Modification Lv4 (874/10000)



Puppet Crafting Lv5 (8930/20000)



Magic Item Crafting Lv4 (6488/10000)



After his realm breakthrough, his original mental and physical attributes had disappeared, replaced by gasification progress.

Su Nan focused his mind inward and discovered that a layer of misty gas had formed around his innate crystal, like a faint fog enveloping the crystal, whose glow flickered faintly.

This mist was the gasified mental energy.

In the world of wizards, those who had condensed an innate crystal were uniformly called Crystal Wizards.

Crystal Wizards were ranked from first to third level.

A newly advanced wizard was a first-level wizard.

Based on the form of mental energy, they were further divided into three major stages: gasification, liquefaction, and crystallization.

In the gasification stage, wizards needed to continuously increase and refine their mental energy until it was fully liquefied, allowing them to break through to the first-level liquefaction realm.

After that, the process of increasing and refining mental energy continued until it crystallized, allowing them to break through to the first-level crystallization realm.

At this stage, wizards could start preparing to construct a second innate crystal, laying the groundwork for advancing to the second-level wizard.

"The question is, how to increase and refine mental energy."

A thoughtful look appeared in Su Nan’s eyes.

After advancing to the rank of a wizard, the effects of meditation were negligible.

The Star Ring Meditation could no longer be upgraded, as the number of star rings could not be increased further.

Without any external assistance, a regular wizard relying solely on meditation would need over a century or even longer to break through to the first-level liquefaction stage.

Therefore, any wizard needed items or potions that could increase and refine mental energy.

However, Su Nan wasn’t too worried.

After all, with the Synthesis Cube, the necessary resources were not lacking.

"Once I return, I can start synthesizing fourth-level potions."

Su Nan felt a surge of excitement.

After advancing to the rank of a wizard, many things he couldn’t do before could now be undertaken.

For example, wizard tools and higher-level potions.

Or experiments that required wizard-level mental energy.

All of these could now be put on the agenda.

"I’ve got my hands full from here on out."

Su Nan smiled and looked up at the ceiling.

Calculating the time, he had been in the Tower of the Many Stars for a long while.

Just constructing the models for numerous lower-level innate crystals took over a year, and filling the models took another half a year, adding up to more than two years in total.

He wondered what the situation was like outside now?
