Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Sigh, no rush."

Hughes raised his hand and waved, black smoke reappeared, enveloping Mr. Poison Demon once again and teleporting him back to the Undead Space.

"The certificate is in my hand, it won't disappear."

After returning Mr. Poison Demon to the Corpse Space, he did not leave the laboratory, but continued to place several corpses on the experimental table.

Mr. Poison Demon is a corpse modified by someone else, and now he is preparing to try modifying corpses himself.

Of course, he had tried before, but all attempts ended in failure.

However, with the experience gained from these failures and the knowledge collected in the Myriad Peaks, he is now quite confident that he can modify these corpses.

These corpses were collected from his apprenticeship during battles and the Five Crown Trials, and were relatively well-preserved bodies of apprentices.

To this day, after removing the failed attempts at modification, there are still seven apprentice corpses left, all of which he has placed on the stage.

Although Hughes placed them in containers specifically for preserving corpses.

But after such a long time, their skin was still somewhat dull, with a slight purplish hue.

As for the four great knights' corpses, Hughes had no intention of touching them for the time being.

Firstly, he hadn't yet decided on the demonized organs to pair with them, and secondly, he planned to accumulate more experience so that he could transform them into formal wizard-level corpses.

Soon, Hughes arrived in front of the first corpse.

Hughes remembered this apprentice; the other had tried to ambush him during the trial, but he had swiftly killed him.

Hughes first removed the other person's clothes and examined the other person's wounds.

After marking the wound, it released a faint gray-green halo around it.

"Buzzing—"

Under the glow of the light, the wounds on the corpse began to heal one by one.

This is the Necromancer's sorcery called "Flesh Repair," which can repair the flesh of a corpse. He just used this sorcery to repair the wounds on Mr. Poison Demon's body caused by dissection.

The bones of this corpse were not damaged, so there was no need to use the witchcraft [Bone Repair].

After the body was completely intact, he released a special purple powder onto it.

The powder was evenly sprinkled on the surface of the corpse, gradually penetrating it.

This is the most important preliminary step in modifying a corpse, using drugs to temporarily enhance the body's adaptability to magic.

After all the preliminary work was completed, Hughes began the first step—converting the corpse.

He quickly sketched out the sorcery runes for "awakening the corpse" in his mind's eye.

The next moment, a faint green glow emerged from his fingertip and entered the seven orifices of the corpse in front of him.

In an instant, the corpse's eyes widened suddenly, and it began to murmur incoherent roars.

"Roar...roar..."

Clearly, the corpse had been successfully transformed into a dead body that obeyed Hughes's commands.

Then comes the second step—biological modification of the corpse.

Unlike the Frostwolf, the dead do not need to be kept alive.

However, precisely because they are already dead, their bodies are extremely poorly adapted to the demonized organs, and they can easily be burst by the magic power of the demonized organs if they are not careful.

The solution is to use necromantic energy to influence the corrupted organs, causing them to temporarily become weak, and then transplant them into the corpse.

Before Hughes, he was stuck at this step.

Fortunately, things are very different now.

He picked up a cold sachet, and wisps of necromantic energy emanated from his fingertips, slowly circulating on it.

In an instant, the luster of the cold pouch dimmed, but it remained just enough to prevent it from completely failing.

The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, Hughes swiftly and decisively transplanted the cold sac into the corpse's throat.

The moment the stitches were completed, the cold sac fused perfectly with the slightly rotting throat of the corpse. Apart from a few wisps of blue light surging at the stitches, there was no sign of any magic leaking out.

The modification was now complete. The corpse could now control the frost sac, and wisps of cold air began to emerge from its mouth, condensing into a thin layer of white frost on the surface of the experimental table.

The first corpse was successfully modified.

This was not a fluke, but simply a natural outcome.

Before this, countless corpses had been destroyed in experiments, and countless demonized organs had been completely corrupted by necromantic energy.

"roar--!"

—Click, click

Looking at the corpse that was constantly spewing out cold air, Hughes reached out and extracted all the necromantic energy from its body, turning it back into a cold corpse.

"call--!"

Immediately afterwards, black smoke billowed up, sending the corpse into the undead space.

And so, the second, the third... Hughes began to modify the corpses one after another, never discarding a single body from beginning to end.

However, Hughes didn't put too much effort into them, simply attaching one or two demonic organs to most of them and calling it a day.

This is because he is not a necromancer who needs to rely on the necromancer sea tactic, and therefore does not need to rely too much on these cannon fodder necromancer creatures.

He was simply accumulating experience to ensure that the last two corpses could be successfully modified.

Soon, only two corpses remained on the experimental table: Lyra and Billy, both of whom were apprentices sent by Thorne to capture him alive.

As for the bodies of the other members of Reber's squad, they had already been destroyed in the previous modification experiments.

Shuster deliberately kept them around, not for the purpose of fighting, but to try to implant magic storage devices and mental triggers into the two of them.

Of course, he tried the apprentice version, which was much simpler.

The purpose of doing so was because there were aspects of both of them that were worth studying.

First, let's talk about Billy. During his apprenticeship, he underwent a bloodline transplant, receiving the bloodline of a dark-attribute magical beast, also known as the symbolic blood.

Hughes planned to try and see if the successful modification could reactivate the bloodline within the corpse.

As for Lyra, it was because she possessed a magical artifact that could unleash modified elements.

Hughes intended to use this opportunity to study the improved element inside, namely that ball of green fire, in order to accumulate experience for his future improvement of his ice element.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that this witchcraft tool actually had a self-destruct mechanism, which would activate once the symbolic blood of the bound person lost its activity.

Hughes had indeed explored other ways to observe and improve elements, such as the Tower of Knowledge.

However, modified elements are the trump card of elemental wizards. Not only are there almost no opportunities to observe modified elements available on the market, but the conditions for joining the knowledge towers of academies are also relatively strict.

However, the most important thing is that the knowledge spikes regarding elemental modifications are mostly related to the Herunor family of "Lava Heart"...
