Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 310 Monarch Knight
"No...I have to go back immediately..."

Frederick took a deep breath, forcing himself to regain his composure.

He packed a few of his most important personal belongings and hurriedly headed out the door.

In his haste, he even forgot to take his teaching aids from the servant puppet.

He just kept heading towards the teachers' dormitory area in the east wing, even using wind elemental teleportation spells.

Behind him, the silver servant puppet stood frozen in place, its crystal eyes gleaming with confusion.

It mechanically looked around to confirm that the other party had indeed left, and then silently began to tidy up the various teaching tools scattered on the podium.

Rune pen, energy conduit stone, and unfinished enchanting tools for demonstration purposes...

Each item was carefully categorized and organized.

As a public puppet of the Crystal Spire, it was already used to all sorts of unexpected situations, including the teachers' occasional lapses in composure.

"Teachers' personal belongings have been packed and are ready for delivery."

The puppet emitted a monotonous mechanical sound, while simultaneously etching a mark onto its internal recording plate:
"Lecturer Frederick Craven, East Wing Faculty Dormitory, Room B-47, Delivery Fee: 3 Magic Stone Fragments."

Meanwhile, Frederick had already returned to his residence.

"There must be something... there must be something that genius needs..."

He muttered to himself as he frantically searched through his collection of items accumulated over the years.

As a seasoned enchanter, his collection, while not top-tier, still possesses many unique features.

Ancient runic tomes, rare enchanting material recipes, and even several enchanted artifacts he crafted himself…

But for a genius like Ron, these are probably all too ordinary.

"No, these are all too basic..."

Frederick anxiously scratched his gray hair, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

The impact of that blessing was still lingering within him, and the pure energy made his mind exceptionally clear.

It was this clarity that made him realize more deeply how rare the opportunity was.

What do I have that he needs?

Frederick scratched his head in frustration, feeling like a small businessman who wanted to get close to the powerful but couldn't find the right door.

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind—Elliott Vander.

This young wizard from the Storm Clan not only had direct contact with Ron.

More importantly, he possesses the extremely rare information perception talent of "listening to the wind".

If anyone could understand Ron's specific needs, it would be him.

Frederick strode toward the communication crystal and began contacting his distant cousin.

After the crystal lit up, Elliott's handsome face appeared in the projection.

Those unusually large ears stood out conspicuously in the light.

"Uncle Frederick? Is something urgent that you're contacting me so late?"

"Elliott asked, puzzled, his blue eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Elliott, I need your help."

Frederick skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point:
"I'd like to know something about Ron Ralph personally."

Upon hearing the name, Elliott's expression immediately turned serious.

He turned his head slightly, his large ears trembling as if sensing some subtle information.

“Ron Ralph…”

Eliot repeated the familiar name, a surge of curiosity welling up within him:

"Why is Uncle suddenly interested in him? This is very unlike your usual style."

“I have reason to believe that he may have a deep interest in enchanting.”

Frederick's tone was unusually serious:

"If I could establish academic connections... that would be extremely important to me."

Elliott had a sudden realization.

He certainly understood what it meant to have the support of a treasured student in the upcoming school of thought reform.

"I understand."

He nodded, and his large ears twitched slightly again.

"Based on the information I perceive through 'listening to the wind,' Ron Ralph is indeed a polymath."

Besides his known expertise in potions and bloodline manipulation, he also seems to have considerable knowledge of knightly training.

"A knight? Are you sure?"

Frederick's eyes lit up; this information gave him an opportunity.

"Pretty sure."

Elliott explained in detail:

"During the trials at the Bloodline Altar, I witnessed his astonishing physical combat abilities."

Moreover, from what I've observed, he seems to possess some unique breathing technique that can significantly enhance his physical abilities.

He paused for a moment, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes:
"This is extremely rare among formal wizards. Most wizards focus on improving their mental strength, and few are willing to invest so much energy in physical enhancement."

Upon hearing this, Frederick's heart raced once more.

He recalled the precious items in his collection room—various enchantment schemes for weapons and armor, as well as special runes specifically designed for physical enhancement.

"Elliott, I owe you a huge favor."

Frederick said sincerely, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "This information is so important to me."

"There's no need to be so polite among family members."

Elliott smiled and waved his hand:
"However, I must warn you that although that wizard Ralph is young, he is said to be extremely shrewd. If you want to establish a friendly relationship with him, you must offer something of real value."

After ending the call, Frederick immediately rushed to his private collection room.

"Weapon and armor enchantments... Body enhancement runes..."

He muttered to himself as he carefully opened the hidden compartment.

Inside, several antique boxes were neatly arranged, each emanating a faint magical aura.

The first box contained a complete handwritten copy of "The Complete Book of War Runes and Enchantments".

It contains detailed instructions on how to enchant runes on weapons and armor to enhance physical attack power.

The second box contained several yellowed parchment sheets with intricate diagrams of the human body's meridians.

These are research notes on physical enhancement runes, which can temporarily improve a user's physical attributes through special rune combinations.

"and this……"

Frederick took out the third box, which contained a fist-sized dark red crystal.

This is "Bloodstone," a special material that can resonate with the user's blood and is a key material for creating advanced physical enhancement runes.

"These should be enough."

He looked at the collection in front of him with satisfaction, and the anxiety in his heart finally subsided a little.

While these items may have limited value to a pure wizard, they are invaluable treasures to someone who also pursues the way of chivalry.

"Wait a few days, until his classes are over..."

Frederick began to plan the details of the visit in his mind.

Timing, wording, how the gift is presented... every detail must be carefully considered.

This may be the most important opportunity of his career, and he absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes.

………………

Meanwhile, Ron was sitting alone in his private research room, feeling the dramatic changes in the knowledge structure within his body.

That breakthrough just now was like someone who had been groping in the dark for a long time suddenly pushing open a door, and the world in front of them instantly became clear and bright.

[Runeology (Beginner) Experience Points +1]

[Breakthrough! Rune Arts (Beginner 50/50) → Rune Arts (Proficient 1/100)]

[Gain the additional trait "Awakening"]

[Awakening: Improved efficiency through design and enhancements to rune arrays]

The thrill of this breakthrough was so intense that Ron felt his entire thought process was undergoing a subtle reorganization.

Those previously obscure and difficult rune theories now appeared as clear as transparent crystal to him.

The energy flow of each rune and the deeper meaning of each line become immediately clear.

"As expected of enchanting, which is a level above potion-making, bloodline manipulation, and alchemy..."

Ron sighed softly, recalling the arduous learning process he had undergone. The complexity of rune literature far exceeded his imagination, requiring not only a deep understanding of energy conduction theory but also extremely high spatial imagination and logical thinking abilities.

Each rune is a precise energy transmission network, and the slightest error can cause the entire system to collapse.

The interactions between runes are even more varied, requiring consideration of countless possible combinations and conflicts.

Over the past few months, he has spent several hours almost every day studying various rune texts, practicing the drawing of basic runes, and analyzing the design logic of different rune systems.

Countless failures and setbacks, countless late nights of hard study, have finally led to a qualitative leap today.

"But this arduous process makes the sense of accomplishment after a successful breakthrough all the more intense..."

Ron was pleased with the newfound "Enlightenment" attribute.

This ability allows him to fundamentally understand the mechanism of any rune, no longer mechanically copying it, but truly mastering the core principles of rune design.

He could sense that although the career panel provided him with various learning bonuses, he had to complete the entire learning and research process step by step on his own.

The mastery of every knowledge point and the breakthrough in every skill are the result of his dedication of a great deal of time and effort.

"This sense of real growth makes me realize that all my current achievements are not false reinforcements, but real accumulations."

He checked his progress in the "Enchanting" skill:

[Current Progress: With Magic Tricks (Beginner 46/50)]

He only needs a few more points to break through, at which point he can officially become an "Enchanter" and embark on a brand new career path.

The perfect fusion of the three arts—potions, alchemy, and enchanting—is also just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

………………

On the other side of the study, a new family member is quietly observing everything.

"Ink"—the autophagic slime that Ron personally raised—is currently curled up in a specially made crystal container.

Its appearance is like a dark black gel-like substance, covered with fine silver patterns, and emitting faint energy fluctuations.

Although it appears calm, the internal structure of "ink" is actually extremely complex, possessing powerful bloodline analysis, energy conversion, and shape-shaping capabilities.

"The condition is stable, and all indicators are within the normal range."

Ron checked "Ink's" vital signs with satisfaction; his meticulous care over this period had not been in vain.

This life, which he created himself, has fully adapted to its new form of existence and has demonstrated an intelligence level that exceeds expectations.

"Now we can conduct more complex bloodline modulation experiments."

He turned his gaze to the special crystal pool deep inside the room, where Dale's residence was located.

The little siren's recent condition has caused some concern among everyone.

Since the last incident of itchy scales, she has entered a strange semi-dormant state.

It spends most of its time curled up in the depths of the pool, only occasionally surfacing for air.

"Master, Dale's vital signs remain stable."

Ailan's voice came from the side, and the verdant branches gently brushed against the surface of the pool:

"Moreover, I can feel that the energy in her body is constantly increasing, which should be a normal growth and transformation."

Ron nodded and activated his "Supernatural Recognition" skill to carefully observe Dale's condition.

In his unique perspective, the little siren's body was undergoing a profound reorganization.

The original juvenile characteristics are gradually disappearing, replaced by a more mature and powerful life form.

"She is transitioning from infancy to adulthood, a crucial developmental stage for the siren race."

Ron analyzed:
"During this process, her bloodline will be fully activated."

However, this transformation requires a period of dormancy; forcibly interrupting it will cause irreversible damage.

He recalled the relevant records he had seen in classical texts.

The growth pattern of the siren race is completely different from that of humans. They enter a "metamorphosis sleep" at certain times, and achieve a leap in life level by reorganizing their body structure.

This process can take weeks or even months and cannot be interrupted by any external factors.

"However, since her condition is stable, it is a good opportunity to optimize her bloodline."

Ron took out an exquisite crystal bottle containing the blood essence extracted from the harpy.

These materials have been stored in his laboratory for months, and after special treatment, the ancient Siren bloodline factors contained within them remain active.

"Although the harpy is a descendant of the fallen sirens, the affinity of the wind element still remains in her blood."

He carefully analyzed the materials in his hand:
"If this trait can be integrated into Dale's bloodline, she will be able to master both water and wind elemental abilities simultaneously."

This bloodline fusion is extremely complex and requires precise calculation of the compatibility of different bloodline factors.

Even the slightest deviation could lead to blood clashes.

However, with "ink" as a perfect auxiliary tool, the success rate will be greatly improved.

"Begin the bloodline modulation experiment."

Ron activated all the protective measures in the lab, and then carefully removed the "ink" from the container.

The slime immediately sensed its master's intention and began to transform, turning into a semi-transparent operating platform.

The following process was extremely meticulous.

Ron first collected a small blood sample from Dale and used the analytical capabilities of "Ink" to dissect her blood vessel structure in detail.

The little siren's bloodline was extremely pure, with almost no impurities, which provided an ideal foundation for subsequent fusion.

Then, he began to process the essence of the harpy's bloodline.

These essences contain a large number of negative factors—violence, chaos, depravity, etc.—which must all be removed, leaving only the pure affinity of the wind element.

The "ink" demonstrated an amazing separating ability, acting like a sophisticated filter that removed harmful components one by one.

The entire process lasted three hours, during which Ron needed to constantly adjust various parameters to ensure that the activity of the bloodline factors would not be lost due to overtreatment.

When the last drop of pure wind element blood essence was separated, the air in the laboratory seemed to become fresher.

"The next step is the most crucial integration phase."

Ron took a deep breath and carefully poured the prepared blood essence into Dale's pool.

The pale purple liquid slowly diffused in the water, forming a beautiful spiral pattern.

Dale seemed to sense this change, and gently swayed her tail in her sleep, the silver scales beginning to emit a faint glow.

As the essence of her bloodline permeated her body, faint blue patterns appeared on her skin.

That's a sign of the awakening of the wind element's affinity.

"Looks like it's going well."

Ailan observed all of this from the sidelines, her tone filled with satisfaction:

"Her energy fluctuations have become more harmonious, and the power of the water and wind elements is merging perfectly."

Ron nodded, but remained highly vigilant.

Whether bloodline modulation is successful or not can often only be determined at the last moment.

Even the slightest rejection reaction could cause all previous efforts to be wasted.

Fortunately, Dyer's adaptability exceeded expectations.

After several hours of observation, her vital signs stabilized within the normal range, and the new bloodline characteristics were gradually integrating with the original structure.

"Success."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

"Once she completes her transformation and awakens, she should be able to master enough wind element manipulation abilities."

He recorded the various data from the experiment with satisfaction, marveling at the blood vessel analysis capabilities of the "ink".

With this perfect assistant, his research on bloodline modulation will reach new heights.

………………

The success of bloodline modulation reminded Ron of another problem he was currently facing: the further development of his bloodline.

As the practice of the "Corona Breathing Technique" deepened, the "Crimson Blood Flying Dragon," a gold-ring level sub-dragon bloodline, was beginning to feel somewhat powerless.

The final stage is divided into "Sun Resonance", "Bone and Blood Fusion", and the final "Radiant Configuration".

By successfully constructing a miniature "stellar system" within the body and forming a special energy cloak called "Corona Armor," one can achieve the title of "Corona Knight."

He is currently in the very beginning of the "Sun Resonance" phase.

Because of the awakening of the powerful talent of "Corona Avatar", the cultivation at this stage is going smoothly, and it is expected that in another year and a half, he will be able to enter the next stage naturally.

However, in the next stage of "bone and blood fusion", he will need a higher level of bloodline to support him.

"Monarch Knight..."
