Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 372 Changes, Eastern Wizarding Alliance, Leyline Wind, War of Annihilation Begins!

Reaching Master level in the "Four Symbols Codex - Four Symbols Chakra Chapter" increases talent by 2500.

[Talent: 40200 → 42700]

"Finally reached the master level."

In the meditation room, Ian closed his eyes and felt the changes within himself.

At this time, the presence of the Four Symbols Chakras can be felt in all areas except the most central brain region.

Ian's master-level proficiency allows him to perceive things to an extremely subtle degree.

This is enough to allow him to mobilize magic more quickly and in greater quantities.

Its compatibility with the Four Symbols Furnace has been greatly improved.

To reach its current state, Ian has spent a significant amount of resources and a full year.

"It's been a year."

Ian left the meditation room, went to the study, and stood in front of the window looking out.

Red Scale flew through the sky, its size increasing by several meters compared to before, and its scales becoming more lustrous. In the distance, the iron thorns in the botanical garden seemed to have grown much taller, with vines covering the entire botanical garden.

Dozens of wizards served him throughout the land, some responsible for planting and others for clearing.

Ian felt the overwhelming surge of extraordinary power within him.

A sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.

The past year has been incredibly fruitful.

In terms of alchemy.

His alchemical spells were now approaching the expert level.

At this point, he also mastered a master-level resonance rune array, which he had even perfected once.

Just a year ago, he changed the way he used the clairvoyance method, and the project's progress entered the fast lane.

Just four months later.

This led to the initial version of the Resonance Rune.

Ian swore it was the most imperfect form of witchcraft he had ever learned, and its many flaws were a compliment to him.

The number of times that needed to be replenished reached a level that shocked Ian.

A total of twenty.

At that moment, Ian felt like his eyes were going to freeze.

However, the process of making up the missing parts was not as difficult as Ian had imagined. In just over six months, he had made up seven missing parts.

If everything goes well from here on out.

It might be completed within one or two years.

As for departmental projects, he only completed a handful of tasks this year, barely meeting the targets, so this time the honors naturally had nothing to do with him.

There's also the aspect of dreams.

With more frequent visits, progress and proficiency naturally increase faster.

Having mastered half of the Rhythm of the Wind, he was now even able to enter the core area of ​​the outside world.

Unfortunately, it's still quite a distance from the center.

According to his estimate.

That fragment of the law should be in the core of the central area, at least until an expert is reached.

This can't be rushed.

Of course, their strength has also improved a lot.

Strength enhancement is divided into two aspects: physical training and elemental cultivation.

"The progress of Body Tempering - Vine is almost at 50."

Ian gently squeezed his hand, and fine, emerald-green vines seemed to spread across about half of his body.

It resembles a small piece of light armor.

The past year.

He also entered the secret realm again and obtained a lot of cultivation resources.

Fortunately, the secret realm was for him to enjoy all by himself.

So the resources are basically sufficient.

However, although the quantity has increased, the essence has not improved much, and it does not help to improve the extraordinary physique.

"Next comes the extraordinary organs."

Ian took a deep breath.

Except for the head, which was not affected, the meridians had already circulated through the entire main part of his body, bringing his progress to about 70%.

It increased by 25% in one year.

It's worth noting that in the previous two years, his total increase was only 35%, which shows the tremendous progress brought about by his improved talent.

Of course, the condensation of extraordinary organs also brought about an improvement in elementalization, with nearly 45% elementalization, which could almost elementalize most of the body's less important organs.

This greatly enhanced his mobility and strength.

"But if it's the preliminary assessment for the Child of the Elements, I always feel like I'm not prepared enough."

Ian's eyes flickered.

Those who could participate in the preparation for the Elemental Child, such as Gabriel, although it seemed that he lost to him at that time, were already at the peak of the mid-second ring.

However, by the time the students returned, they should have already broken through to the late stage of the second ring.

For those gifted wizards, a few years, coupled with guidance from a third-ring wizard, would be enough to allow them to make significant progress on the path to the late second ring.

Although his opponents may not be just a few of them.

But even the others that are slightly weaker.

Maybe he can fight.

But as a wizard, one must be absolutely cautious; without 100% certainty, it's not much different from certain defeat.

Ian plans to improve in two main areas.

One is to improve the quality of physical fitness, and the other is to improve the level of physical fitness.

"But there's been some trouble lately..."

Thinking about the recent resource situation, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

I left the room.

Heading towards the outskirts of the City of Elements, they soon arrived at the familiar location of the salon.

It's still the alchemist's salon.

As soon as I went inside.

Ian had already heard some sighs.

Jonah waved to Ian as he entered.

"What's wrong?"

Ian walked over and asked. At this moment, besides Jonah, there were several other alchemists with unpleasant expressions, as if they had just discussed some unpleasant topics.

"What else could it be but the Eastern Wizarding League?"

Jonah shrugged.

"Since the chaos at the Four Wizarding Academy, trade channels have been greatly reduced. The Eastern Wizarding Alliance has provided the academies with a lot of resources, but I don't know if they've gone mad, but their connection with White Rock Wizarding Academy has suddenly become closer, causing many resources to have to find new channels all of a sudden."

Jonah said helplessly.

Ian was also infected.

He was indeed one of those affected.

The Eastern Wizarding Alliance has a small wizarding faction that keeps a creature called the Rending Wind Vulture Feather. Its feathers are one of the materials Ian uses for his training and are very helpful for the Four Symbols Chakra.

This material has become much less common recently.

If you want to change your source, you can only obtain it from external wizards, not to mention that the price may be several times higher.

More importantly, it's about rebuilding the distribution channels.

The current situation.

It's still unknown how long it will take.

Ian couldn't afford to delay any longer.

He has enough materials on hand for a while. Of course, he could use other materials instead, but the effect would be far inferior.

"don’t worry."

At that moment, another wizard pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lord Theodore."

Everyone stood up to greet them.

"sit."

As Theodore walked in and sat down, he gestured for everyone else to sit as well.

"What did you mean just now, sir?"

Alchemist Leo asked curiously.

Theodore didn't mince words and said directly, "I've received word that the Eastern Wizarding Alliance has secretly allied itself with White Rock Wizarding Academy."

What?

Everyone, including Ian, stared wide-eyed.

Because the Four Directions Wizarding Academy is currently in the stage of occupation and probing, and their strengths are almost equal.

But what if the Eastern Wizarding League intervenes?

Then so.

"So they're finished."

Theodore, however, felt much more relaxed.

Why?

"No wizarding academy will see Whitestone gain another friend, at least not at this stage."

Theodore slowly began, "The three wizarding academies have decided to launch a devastating attack on the Eastern Wizarding Alliance in three days, first eliminating this current sole bystander in Whitestone Territory."

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock.

No matter what, it's a wizarding alliance that's not small.

However, if all three wizarding academies act simultaneously, then that would indeed be the case.

It can only be said that the Eastern Wizarding Alliance was too careless this time; the information was leaked.

Theodore continued.

Ian inquired with various sources and quickly confirmed the truth of the matter.

Leonard even sent him a message.

"You can come if you want. There are still quite a few resources there. It would be a shame if you, with your keen sense of smell, didn't come."

"If you decide in advance, you're guaranteed to win this war. The spots will be in high demand, so hurry up."

"I'll go."

Ian replied immediately.

Three against one.

This is a rare opportunity, and he needs the feathers of the Rending Wind Vulture. If he doesn't seize this chance, when will he ever get another one?

Of course, there are also risks.

It mainly refers to the opposing team and teammates from the other two colleges.

But the Third Ring of the Academy will definitely step in at that time.

With his current abilities, if he enables overclocking, he can even contend with the late-stage second ring, and even the peak second ring...

wrong.

Just follow the group's movements as much as possible when the time comes.

Simultaneously.

His resources definitely need to be replenished; if they aren't, they might run out in six months.

Further breakthroughs will require resources.

Breakthroughs in physical fitness also require resources.

This is all money; it doesn't come out of thin air. He has to earn it bit by bit.

"it is good."

the other side.

Leonard simply replied with a "yes".

After the salon ended.

Ian immediately went to prepare.

Of course, he also took the time to visit the library.

Find the supplementary knowledge he needs.

It's slightly better than the Four Symbols Furnace, which only has two parts to complete the knowledge of the Four Symbols Chakras.

But what troubled Ian was that he only found one technique to fill the gap in his knowledge: a spell called Turbo Oscillation.

"Turbo Oscillation" is created using wind elemental magic, unleashing a vortex attack that vibrates and pierces armor, making it a mid-range suppression type.

It can replenish the resilience of the chakras.

It is also one of the top-tier witchcrafts among the intermediate-level spells of the second ring.

Of course, the requirements are also extremely high.

It can easily backfire.

The materials weren't hard to find; they were found deep within the Wind Abyss. Ian used his contribution points to exchange for a batch at the Wind Whisper Academy.

But this is my first attempt.

Feeling the visceral vibrations in his body, Ian couldn't help but furrow his brow.

So he temporarily stopped trying.

It wasn't that he couldn't practice, but he had to protect himself and prevent injury before the war.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days have passed.

Outside the academy, dozens of airships were poised to launch, while inside one of Storm Spear's airships...

Ian was wearing the badge of a Level 5 Chapter Cooperative Alchemist on his chest.

This was after the last war.

Ian replaced it.

This means he is no different from other members of the Stormband, but with more freedom.

"Brother Ian, the Eastern Wizarding Alliance is composed of several small wizarding academies, as well as some wizarding families and forces, each with its own unique resources. These are our main targets besides eliminating them."

Leonard handed a list to Ian.

"This information is from within our warband; you can't get it from outside. You can take a look."

Ian nodded and accepted it.

He had naturally gathered information over the past three days, but compared to what he had just gathered, it was less than 30% as detailed.

They even uncovered the secret resources and escape routes of many smaller factions.

Simply outrageous.

As for resources.

This also surprised Ian greatly; he hadn't expected them to have so many resources.

"Many of these resources are not for sale by them. Our college actually has a lot of them, so this is a rare opportunity. You can see if there is anything you need. Our goals should be similar."

Leonard said.

Ian nodded. The top-ranked institution was the Wizard Academy, home to the leader of the Eastern Wizarding Alliance, a level-three resource.

However, it's fire-attributed, so it won't be very effective against Ian.

Ian continued downhill.

My eyes lit up when I saw that it was ranked eighth.

"Earth Vein Wind Saliva - Liquid wind element crystals condensed at the confluence of wind veins deep underground, formed by the combined action of geothermal heat and rock pressure. It can greatly increase the condensation speed of a wind element wizard's extraordinary organs and has extremely strong repair capabilities for the body, especially for wind attribute injuries. Level: Top-tier second ring. Affiliation: Sabah Family."

Ian's breath hitched.

The main thing is that this thing not only enhances the wizard's abilities, but also strengthens the body's regenerative capabilities.

This was very helpful for him in learning about turbine oscillation.

Yes, this exists.

He may even complete the advancement of his extraordinary physique before reaching the later stages of his advancement.

Thinking about the benefits of advancing to an extraordinary physique.

Ian pursed his lips.

aside.

Seeing Ian's gaze, Leonard glanced at him and said.

"This is indeed a top-tier resource. It's not that useful for a peak second-ring wizard, but I'm also tempted."

"It seems we can work together this time."

"Thank you, sir."

Ian's eyes lit up.

If we can follow the plan, the safety will be greatly improved, since this time is different from the last.

This time, we are facing a complete and powerful force.

Unlike the Crimson Eye, which is already severely damaged, there is also the potential threat from the other two academies.

Of course, this also requires consulting other wizards.

But perhaps because of Ian's previous generosity, everyone agreed.

Besides, they do need a top-notch alchemist.

Perhaps it can be of some help to them.

soon.

The academy's airship fleet took off, followed by Simon, a third-ring wizard whom Ian was familiar with.

One day later.

Numerous airships arrived at the Eastern Wizarding Alliance.

Ian stood on the deck with Leonard and looked to one side, onto the core airship not far away.

Simon stood tall and proud, with a wizard dressed in an ice-blue wizard's robe standing behind him.

At that moment, Ian looked over.

The man smiled slightly at him.

It seems I've known him for a long time.

???

Do you know him?

Ian was puzzled, but after a few seconds, sensing the familiar aura, he remembered who it was.

The atmosphere I once felt in Simon's study.

Judging from his appearance, he's from the later stages of the Second Ring Road, and should be the student Simon that Gabriel mentioned.

Quentin Sullivan.

But Ian couldn't care less about him anymore.

Simply because it's not far away.

The airships from the other two colleges have also arrived.

All three parties gathered.
