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

Chapter 379 The shocked alchemists, the dean's reward, the change in status, the peak of the second ring and the breakthrough!

The fog dissipates!

When Darwin spoke, all the alchemists were taken aback.

A fog?

disperse?

These two words are linked together, and this project is to add more means to the fortifications and fortifications within the elemental fog.

It's hard not to let one's imagination run wild.

But if the fog in the mines were really so easy to dispel, why would so many wizarding academies find it so troublesome?

In a short time.

All the wizards couldn't help but lean back for a moment, their expressions fixed on Ian not far away.

Ian remained calm.

He walked out slowly.

Not far away at that moment.

The mist simulation device has been slowly moved over by Ian's alchemists.

The device was activated.

It was immediately filled with a dense elemental fog.

for real?

The wizards were even more shocked to see this; it really was going to dispel the fog.

"This fog generation device was designed and built by the academy for research on mineral vein fog. It can simulate ninety percent of the mineral vein fog conditions, which is sufficient for testing."

Ian slowly moved forward.

Looking at everyone, he said, "I have installed the core of the dispersal device in the mist. You can take a closer look."

Everyone heard this.

They all stepped forward.

Upon arriving outside the fog-dispelling device and looking inside, one could only see a device resembling an iron box at its core.

"This is the fog dispelling device I designed. The principle it uses is mainly based on the knowledge of resonance frequency. By amplifying and separating at a specific frequency, it achieves the effect of dispelling fog."

The alchemists nodded.

Knowing that this was Ian's research area, and judging from the direction, it seemed to have some feasibility.

"But it's not that simple to really dispel it; the fog in the mine is no ordinary fog."

Dante stood aside, deep in thought.

Theodore nodded.

As a leading figure among the intermediate-level alchemists of the second ring in the academy, he did not participate in this competition.

However, it's impossible that the academy hadn't studied the mystery surrounding the mineral veins.

"The mist over the mineral veins seems to have undergone special modifications and environmental influences. It's not just the four elements, but also a mixture of various other extraordinary factors. Under the influence of the environment, it has formed a stable structure that is almost like glue, making it difficult to separate."

he murmured.

This is why conventional methods of dispersing and separating are completely useless. First, they are ineffective, and second, the ore veins will continue to replenish their strength, so the speed of separation often cannot keep up with the speed of replenishment.

The alchemists of the four academies had never had a good solution before.

The original plan is far from feasible.

but...

He glanced at Ulysses beside him.

I know he's been working on a project with Ian lately.

At this moment, he slightly raised his head, his face filled with anticipation.

Is it really possible?

He couldn't help but purse his lips.

Ian had already begun his presentation, and the wizards, including Darwin, listened attentively.

"I believe everyone is familiar with the fog of mineral veins, mainly because it is too entangled. The frequency method I use is to release a reverse frequency to break this resonance entanglement. Please watch the next video."

Ian gestured to Hayden, who was not far away.

Hayden slowly approached the activation device from a distance.

Feeling the gaze of many second-level alchemists in the department, and even the minister and deputy minister.

Hayden also felt a bit short of breath.

However, thinking of the results of their project, he couldn't help but straighten up and press the start button.

next second.

All that could be seen were lines appearing on the surface of the fog-dispelling array device.

then.

A distinctive buzzing sound emanated from it.

An invisible wave suddenly emanated from it.

"here we go."

Even Darwin, as the minister, stared intently at this moment, because he understood the significance of this for the academy.

All that could be seen was the strange ripples spreading out.

Like a sharp knife.

The fog began to sway.

"The elements seem to have separated."

Augusto's eyes gleamed; his unique method of observation allowed him to see that elements seemed to be separating from the mist.

And he wasn't the only one who observed it.

Senior alchemists and project leaders can generally sense this.

One by one, their mouths opened wide.

"It may not be successful; it's just a preliminary separation."

Dante's gaze was solemn.

But next second.

The device seemed to be fully activated, its frequency becoming increasingly powerful, and the mist seemed to be subjected to violent cutting.

The sticky feeling gradually disappeared.

It seems to have become "refreshing".

then.

As everyone breathed, the gray mist, centered on the mist-dispelling device, slowly became transparent.

And this state spread rapidly in all directions.

Just seconds later.

Inside the nearly one hundred square meter installation, the original dark gray mist had thinned to just a light layer.

At that moment, Ian's voice rang out again.

"The current device can only be effective within a range of about 100 meters. A fortress would need at least four of them, and having six or more would be even more secure."

"Activating them simultaneously can disperse the original fog to 30% to 50%, but the element concentration will not decrease because of the dispersion; in fact, it will increase slightly because of the separation. Of course, the cost of one unit is not low, requiring at least 100,000 magic stones, but for a mineral vein node, I believe this cost should be acceptable."

100,000 magic stones?

Darwin took a deep breath.

It's not too expensive.

Quite the opposite.

It’s too cheap.

It might seem expensive under normal circumstances, but in a war that determines the fate of the academy, a mere 500,000 to 600,000 more in construction costs for a fortress is nothing.

I believe he reported it to the dean.

His first thought should be whether he could add more to weaken the fog further.

Because he understands.

Even at the current rate of 50%, it would be enough for them to develop the mines, and the wizards' combat power would increase by 30% to 40%.

This is no joke.

After all, with several extra units suddenly appearing out of nowhere, the difficulty for the enemy to capture the fortress would skyrocket to another level.

However, he was not blinded by his emotions.

Instead, he asked a question.

"Have you conducted on-site testing in the foggy areas?"

The other wizards also gradually recovered from their shock.

Yes.

If it doesn't work in practice.

That's just nonsense.

"Of course, just a week ago, I sent people to test it in the misty region, and the effect was about 90% as good as here."

Ian took out the photo crystal.

The scene unfolds.

It shows Hugo, Thea, and others testing in the misty region.

They chose a deserted area.

As the mist dispersed just like here, the wizards present couldn't help but breathe heavily.

It really can.

"Very impressive, the academy will not forget you."

Darwin was silent for a moment.

He looked at Ian with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or sympathy).

The other alchemists also looked at Ian with complex expressions.

Keep in mind that this is a problem that even four academy alchemists have almost no good solutions for.

It also includes top-tier alchemists from the second ring.

Even within academic departments.

Even Darwin and others had been researching this all along, but they just didn't have a good solution.

But today.

Ian created it by leading a group of first-ring alchemists.

At this moment, their expressions towards Ian completely changed.

That's no longer the case for a genius.

"He's already a pillar of the academy."

Augusto looked at Ian not far away.

It was as if I was recalling the first time I met Ian, when he was just a wizard with no foundation.

But it's only been a few years.

It has grown to the point that even departments sometimes have to rely on it.

Looking at the fascinating expressions on the faces of the alchemists around him, Ulysses also wore a sense of pride.

Yan You Yourong.

"They have no idea that Lord Ian actually only took two or three months."

2

He murmured to himself.

Looking at Ian not far away, he was already thinking about how to stay with Ian for a long time.

He had already realized Ian's potential.

The future of the academy's alchemy department will be Ian.

He remained unmoved by this.

Normally, Ian's presentation should have ended there, and he would have moved on to the next project.

But in the next few hours...

Numerous alchemists have been researching and testing various data related to the fog-dispelling device.

The alchemists were increasingly shocked.

Because the effect is really good.

It can even be adjusted according to different environments and is not affected by terrain.

A group of people surrounded Ian like inquisitive students.

Seeking advice.

Even as subsequent wizards continued to present their projects, many wizards still thought, and even felt, that the later projects were not particularly impressive.

Even in the subsequent vote.

Ian's project also passed unanimously.

And after the review.

Darwin also left quickly to report to the college's higher-ups.

Ian was also caught in a wait.

Just one hour later.

Then a wizard came and summoned Ian.

Ian followed the wizard.

They soon arrived at the very center of the academy.

in the room.

"Dean Aaron."

Ian bowed respectfully.

At this moment, Aaron was sitting on one side of the room, and Darwin was standing on the other side.

"Ian, your talent truly exceeds my expectations."

Aaron took out the recording stone.

Looking at Ian.

During the previous war of the Crimson Eyes, Ian left some influence on him, mainly because of the Rhythm of Fire.

But in reality, it only has some weight.

But this time.

Mineral wars.

It's not just the lower-level wizards who are worried; even the dean himself is quite concerned every day.

Even the fog.

He could dispel it, but not use it regularly; however, he didn't expect Ian to take care of it.

A genius alchemist.

He finally understood the fundamental ability that made Ian famous; now it seemed he truly was a genius.

"What reward do you want?"

Aaron didn't mince words and asked directly.

"My lord, I need top-tier second-ring high-level water elemental resources, specifically the Abyss Core from the academy," Ian said directly.

The Abyss Core, a top-tier water-attribute material with only one remaining in the Elemental Mystery Treasury, is said to be a crystal formed over hundreds of years from the deepest underground water veins of the White Stone Mountains. One piece is enough to double the condensation speed of a second-circle water-type wizard's extraordinary organ, making it perfect for Ian to condense his third extraordinary organ.

"Can."

Aaron nodded.

For him, this was nothing; as long as the war went smoothly, nothing else mattered.

"At the same time, the academy will reward you with a great merit, and the materials you need should be for advancing to the later stages of the second ring."

Aaron also had some knowledge of Ian's situation.

"Yes, Dean."

Ian nodded.

"You're making faster progress than I expected."

Aaron was also somewhat moved.

With such a top-tier physique, this speed is by no means slow.

They even had a chance to compete for the sequence of children of the preparatory elements, but unfortunately it was still a bit too late.

"Since you're aiming for advancement, one set of core materials definitely won't be enough. The academy will sponsor all the materials for your advancement, right? Just go to the Resources Department," Aaron continued.

Ian's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Dean."

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. The large-scale application of the fog-dispelling device will make up for the academy's losses and bring benefits that cannot be compared to these gains," Aaron said.

"I will continue to work hard."

Ian said sincerely.

The gains this time were much greater than he had imagined.

Darwin, who was standing to the side, was also stunned as he listened.

This reward is really generous, because a major achievement in the second ring already represents a considerable amount of resources.

One extra upgrade resource.

Moreover, judging from Ian's appearance, this is no ordinary advancement resource.

And his student.

He's about to advance to the late stage of the second ring without saying a word.

Thinking about these things.

His expression as he looked at Ian grew increasingly gentle.

It will still take time to mass-produce fogging devices.

Ian will definitely be involved.

But that's a story for another time, because for Ian, the most important thing had already been obtained.

What he needs to do now.

It means elevating one's abilities to their peak.

Then you advance.

As for resources.

the next day.

Ian left amidst Bryce's pained gaze, while Anthony Gill, the Minister of Resources, stood nearby, also heartbroken.

Because Ian took it.

It is enough resources for several wizards to advance to the late stage of the second ring.

But it has Aaron's tag.

That's all they can give.

How could I not feel heartbroken?

At this point, Ian is only lacking mental strength to reach the peak of the second ring, and it is estimated that he will reach that level in a month at most.

The project's impact continues.

As Ian walked through the Alchemy Department, almost all the second-ring alchemists were filled with awe.

Even the alchemy salon a few days later.

At this moment, Ian moved from the middle to the front, with Theodore on one side and Chandler and Isaiah on the other.

No one had any objections.

Not far away.

Jonah looked on with envy.

He arrived earlier than Ian, but the difference in their status is now vast.

Ian at this moment.

Almost everyone believed that the worst outcome would be becoming a project team leader. At this point, the status of an intermediate alchemist in the second ring was actually almost no worse than that of a project team leader.

The salon gradually came to an end after a friendly exchange with several project leaders.

return.

the next day.

As soon as Ian opened the door, he saw an unexpected wizard standing there.

"Ulysses."

Ian looked at the wizard.

"Lord Ian, I hope to learn from you in the future," Ulysses stepped forward and said with a determined look in his eyes.

Ian was somewhat taken aback.

Because no matter what you say.

Ulysses is also a second-level alchemist.

He actually holds a very high position within the department.

It seems this has had a significant impact on him.

Have you thought this through?

He asked.

Ulysses nodded.

"Can."

Since he put it that way, Ian didn't refuse. After all, having a second-circle alchemist as a subordinate was very meaningful to him.

Because the project at the Resonance Meditation Room is also stuck.

A higher-level alchemist is needed.

That was very timely.

So Ian quickly submitted an application to the department, which granted partial permission, as the department was still short-staffed.

But in Ian's lab.

He still appears every now and then, which is quite good for Ian.

Of course, this matter was also known to many second-level alchemists.

Although everyone marveled at Ian's genius.

However, some people still scoffed at Ulysses's behavior, after all, it was quite disrespectful for a second-level alchemist to act so humbly.

Some people mocked it.

Ulysses, however, simply didn't take it seriously.

And soon.

The fog device production line was set up and production began, with Ian acting as the supervisor.

soon.

The finished product is complete.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

A month has passed.

Ian's mental strength reached its peak.

It has completely reached the peak of the second ring road.

Another day later.

In the meditation room.

Ian began his breakthrough.
