Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 270 Dimensional Plunder
"Your way of thinking is still too mechanical."

The girl softened her tone, showing no sign of impatience:

"Wizards are accustomed to shaping their mental energy into fixed spell models. This method is indeed efficient and stable, but it also greatly limits the flexibility of mental energy."

"You need to think of mental energy as flowing water, not a fixed block of ice. Water can adapt to the shape of any container and fill any gap, and that's how mental energy should be."

Ron tried to adjust his mindset according to the instructions, practicing those extremely complex fine control exercises again and again.

During the process, he gradually realized that Eve was teaching him not just a technique, but a completely new way of thinking.

After weeks of diligent practice, he finally began to grasp the basics of this fine control.

Although he still has a long way to go to reach the level of effortless control that Eve demonstrated, he has already been able to apply this control method to his own skills in a preliminary way.

………………

In the specially designed training room, Ron was intently constructing a spell model for "sonic oscillation".

This time, instead of building each energy node step by step as usual, he tried to guide the flow of magic with unprecedented precision, so that it could achieve perfect coordination at a more microscopic level.

Mental power is like countless tiny tentacles, precisely controlling the flow and intensity of every strand of magic.

This control method is far more complex and energy-intensive than traditional spell construction, but it can achieve a level of precision that is difficult to achieve with traditional methods.

"The energy expenditure is indeed much greater, but the efficiency has also increased significantly."

Ron silently assessed the situation, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

The first few attempts all ended in failure; the flow of magic was too complex.

Even now that he has become a formal wizard and his mental strength has undergone a qualitative change, he still finds it difficult to control so many intricate details at the same time.

But he did not get discouraged. Instead, he tried again and again, refining his control methods through repeated failures.

“That’s it.” His hands traced a complex trajectory in the air.

As he moved, the magic formed an extremely intricate three-dimensional structure in the air.

Every node and every path is precisely calculated and arranged, with no waste or redundancy.

This model is more complex than any spell he has ever created before, but surprisingly, its energy requirements are reduced by nearly 30%.

This is the advantage of precise control—achieving higher output with less input.

Ron took a deep breath and channeled his last bit of mental energy into the core node of the model, activating the entire spell structure.

—Sound wave oscillation reconstruction
An invisible ripple spread out from the palm of his hand, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

The ripples struck the alchemical alloy target plate opposite, but instead of producing the expected explosion or tearing, they...
After a brief silence, the surface of the target plate appeared unchanged, still as smooth as ever.

But just as Ron hesitated for a moment...

The five-centimeter-thick alloy target plate was suddenly torn apart as if by some unseen force.

It began to disintegrate from the inside out, turning into thousands of neatly arranged metal fragments that fell to the ground.

Moreover, these fragments are not random shapes, but rather exhibit a highly regular hexagonal structure.

It's as if someone deliberately cut the target plate into countless miniature honeycombs.

[Spell Construction (Proficient) Experience +1]

[Breakthrough! Spell Construction (Proficiency 100/100) → Spell Construction (Mastery 1/300)]

[Characteristic "Steady State" → "Microstructural Adaptation"]

Microstructural Remodeling: Enables the reconstruction of spell models at the micro level, giving them higher energy efficiency and more precise effect targeting.

It can also instantly adjust activated spells to adapt to changes on the battlefield.

Ron felt the new power surging within him, his eyes sparkling with surprise.

This ability to reconstruct spell models at the microscopic level will bring revolutionary changes to his spellcasting.

Not only does it make spells more efficient, it also allows Ron to maintain control after a spell is activated, adjusting the effect as needed.

In complex battles, this flexibility can be the key to life or death.

"Thanks to Eve's mental control skills."

Ron silently assessed the situation while noting down the key details of this breakthrough:
"Unlike traditional thinking, her method has indeed opened up a completely new path."

That kind of near-telepathic precision control was indeed a huge inspiration.

In the days that followed, Ron explored the applications of this new ability in greater depth.

He discovered that "micro-modification" is not only effective for offensive spells, but also for defensive spells.

Under this precise control, the "flowing shield" can be adjusted in real time according to the type and intensity of the attack, greatly improving the defense efficiency.

Even the "Radiant Ring," whose form has gradually become more stable, can be used in entirely new ways through micro-adjustments.

………………

In the afternoon, in the drawing room of the Emerald House, Eve was teaching Ron some secrets about wizarding history and otherworldly secrets.

Do you know the nature of magic?

Eve sat on a soft crystal chair, her amethyst eyes sparkling with the brilliance of a scholar:

"Conventional theories hold that magic is a combination of the world's natural energy and life force, but this is only a superficial view."

Ron held his breath and listened intently.

Over the past few weeks, Eve has shown him a great deal of rare and ancient knowledge, each time opening his eyes to new insights.

"According to ancient records, magic is actually a projection of higher-dimensional energy into our dimension."

Eve explained softly:
"Just as sunlight creates a rainbow when it passes through a prism, high-dimensional energy, when it penetrates the dimensional barrier, will decompose into various forms of energy that we can perceive and utilize."

Ron nodded thoughtfully:

"This also explains why the power systems in different worlds manifest themselves in different ways, yet they share some commonalities."

“That’s exactly right.” Eve’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Grandpa… I mean Professor Yutel, who once told me that he had seen dozens of different power systems during his interdimensional travels.”

Some rely on religious beliefs, some on natural elements, and some even use mathematical formulas to guide energy.

But regardless of the different forms of expression, they are essentially guiding and shaping the same higher-dimensional energy.

She paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and continued:

"This is why the 'Abyss' is so special."

It's not just a geographical location, but also a dimensional weakness, a crack that allows higher-dimensional energies to directly penetrate our world.

Ron felt a mental shock.

This explanation, compared to those superficial textbook theories, is better able to explain many phenomena, especially the illogical abilities of abyssal creatures.

"Then what is 'favor'?" he asked curiously.
"What is its relationship with this higher-dimensional energy?"

Eve smiled slightly, revealing the appreciation a teacher has for an outstanding student:
“You’ve hit the nail on the head. ‘Blessing’ is actually a special kind of high-dimensional feedback.”

A fluctuation occurs when knowledge and understanding are passed between different lives.

This kind of fluctuation can penetrate dimensional barriers and elicit echoes from higher dimensions.

Her voice became softer:

"And what makes the original wizards special is..."

It is precisely because they established a direct connection with the source during their advancement that they bypassed many restrictions and filters in traditional cultivation.

This is why the 'blessings' of the primordial wizards are purer and more powerful.

Ron suddenly realized that the "Demonic Devouring" was essentially caused by Eve's overactive energy, which could not circulate normally.

So, pure "benevolent" energy can indeed have a harmonizing effect.

“These explanations sound much more plausible than conventional theories,” he commented. “But why is this knowledge so little known? I’ve never heard of a similar explanation within the Black Mist School.”

Eve's expression became complicated:
"Because this knowledge falls into the 'dangerous category'."

Understanding the nature of magic means that it is possible to manipulate and utilize it more fundamentally.

Throughout history, many wizards have fallen from grace or become lost in their pursuit of this kind of knowledge.

Her voice carried a hint of warning:
"Grandpa Yutel said that those wizards who over-explore higher-dimensional energy."

Ultimately, they will either be corrupted by the abyss or evolve into some form similar to the abyss, becoming what we call 'Apostles'.

Ron felt a chill run down his spine, recalling the fragment of an apostle's limb he had seen at the Abyss Observatory.

The almost primal energy fluctuations, along with the constantly writhing tentacles and eyeballs, do indeed possess certain qualities that transcend conventional life forms.

As night fell, after a day of intellectual exchange, he bid farewell to Eve and returned to his residence.

Walking under the dazzling lights of the Crystal Spire, he felt his mind was more active than ever before.

The ancient knowledge he gained from Eve is now merging with his own experience and theories in his mind, sparking new insights.

In particular, the theories about the nature of magic provided entirely new ideas for his "forge concept".

…………

Meanwhile, deep within a distant, otherworldly realm, a thrilling conquest is unfolding.

Cassandra Saint Manzhi, the current master of the Crystal Spire and one of the strongest existing wizards in the Abyss Continent, is currently hovering above a giant planet.

She has strikingly similar physical features to her daughter Eve.

Equally deep black hair like the night sky and captivating amethyst eyes.

But unlike her daughter's youthful innocence, every inch of Cassandra's figure exudes maturity and elegance.

Like a plump, juicy peach, her figure was breathtakingly perfect, revealing just the right amount of alluring curves beneath her form-fitting, deep purple robe.

However, those amethyst-like eyes radiated a chilling coldness that made it impossible to look directly at them, let alone harbor any thoughts of blasphemy.

"After we finish cleaning these things, we can go back and see little Eve."

Cassandra spoke softly, her voice becoming as gentle as velvet when she mentioned her only daughter.

As she moved, the air began to distort and deform, and a suffocating sense of oppression spread from the center of her body.

Cassandra's human form began to gradually dissolve, replaced by an ever-expanding mass of radiant energy.

It is a complex structure composed of countless tiny energy particles.

Each particle flashes with light at a different frequency, together creating a dizzying multidimensional picture.

This is the "Void Remains," a form of existence that only a great wizard can manifest.

Transcending the physical body's energy structure is also an essential path to a higher level of existence.

As the ethereal form fully unfolded, Cassandra's energy body expanded to tens of thousands of meters in diameter.

It looked like a miniature purple sun, radiating an awe-inspiring energy.

The surface of the planet below is home to a civilization completely different from both the human world and the wizarding world.

There are no skyscrapers or bustling traffic here; instead, there are countless translucent crystal buildings.

They grow and transform as if they were alive, connecting with each other to form a complex network structure.

The creatures that live in this world are equally peculiar.

Most of them have a fluid, translucent body, without a fixed shape, and can freely change their shape as needed.

These life forms communicate through a kind of energy similar to electromagnetic waves.

The entire surface of the planet is covered with dense energy nodes, forming a vast information exchange network.

This is a highly developed civilization based on collective intelligence.

Although individuals are relatively simple, the collective consciousness formed through network connections possesses astonishing creativity and adaptability.

However, this peaceful and developed civilization is now facing a devastating catastrophe.

Cassandra's ethereal form began releasing countless tiny energy tentacles toward the planet below.

These tentacles rapidly penetrated the planet's atmosphere, spreading to every corner of the surface like a swarm of hungry snakes.

When the tentacles came into contact with the crystalline structures and fluid creatures, a startling ablation phenomenon began to occur.

The crystal structure began to crack and dissolve, turning into pure energy that was absorbed by the tentacles.

Fluid organisms solidify upon contact, transforming into translucent statues.

It was then completely encapsulated, floated up, and stored in the space device carried by Cassandra.

The earth began to crack, the oceans began to boil, and the entire planet seemed to be gripped tightly from the inside by an invisible hand, emitting painful groans.

Those fluid-like beings attempted to rebel through network consciousness, mobilizing the planet's natural energy to form a protective barrier.

But against Cassandra's ethereal form, this resistance was like a paper wall, instantly destroyed.

"An interesting symbiotic system."

Cassandra's voice echoed in the void, no longer a human voice, but an energy fluctuation containing multiple frequencies:

"This structure of collective consciousness may offer me some inspiration."

Her ethereal form floated to the other side of the planet.

There is a huge garden there composed of special crystals.

Each crystal is splashed with different colors, looking like a coral reef on Earth, beautiful and mysterious.

"The energy conversion efficiency is as high as 86%, far exceeding any known material in the Huanyuan Continental Group."

Cassandra's ethereal form trembled slightly, expressing her satisfaction:

"Bring the entire area."

Dozens of thick energy tentacles extended from the void, enveloping the entire crystal garden before being uprooted and placed into a specially designed spatial container.

At the same time, countless small energy sacs detached from the void and scattered throughout the planet.

They quickly locate and capture any fluid creatures attempting to escape, then encapsulate them and return them to their host.

This was a complete plunder, a merciless conquest.

Cassandra was like a ruthless reaper, sweeping away the accumulation of thousands of years of civilization in a short period of time.

"enough."

As the last batch of crystalline structures were stored in the space container, Cassandra's ethereal form began to shrink:
"These materials and samples are sufficient to support the next stage of research."

The planet's surface has become riddled with holes, and the once beautiful crystal cities are now just desolate wastelands, like the remains of a giant beast.

Those surviving fluid creatures, having lost the support of the collective network, became confused and disoriented.

Like a puppet with its strings cut, they wander helplessly through the ruins.

Cassandra returned to human form, her purple robes still spotless, as if nothing had happened.

She surveyed the planet she had destroyed, her face devoid of pity or remorse, displaying only a calm assessment.

"The energy structure of this Type II plane is strikingly similar to that of the seventh layer of the Abyss."

She said to herself:

"We need to conduct a more in-depth analysis after we get back, which may lead to new clues about the 'Demonic Devour' symptoms."
