Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

But, at this moment

"Bang—!!"

In an instant, a blinding beam of light burst forth from inside the glass dome.

Then, the spirit's piercing scream came again, but this time, even the glass dome vibrated slightly.

"ah--!!"

The next moment, as the white light dissipated, the source of the secret and the spirit body had vanished, replaced by what appeared to be a completely new humanoid particle body.

It was reshaped from the original blue particles of the secret source, but upon closer inspection, one can still see a few wisps of milky white spirits faintly visible at the edge of the humanoid form.

"What! The fusion rate has reached 80%!"

Gak glanced at the crystal screen beside him, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Furthermore, the wizard's sanity level remains at 50%!"

Seeing this, Jak quickly stepped forward and recorded the experimental data.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the humanoid figure made of particles inside the shield suddenly twitched and twisted, and even the originally orderly and stable blue particles began to move wildly and agitated.

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

The next moment, as if stimulated by something, the few remaining wisps of spirit suddenly broke free from the particle body.

At the same time, the data on the screen also changed dramatically:

[Abnormal fluctuation in sanity level - 50%...48%...45%]

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, the four people's expressions changed drastically, and Loren, who was not far away, immediately stepped forward and started operating the control panel next to the glass dome.

However, the humanoid particle slowly raised its head, and then suddenly raised its hands and slammed its palms together.

"boom--!!"

In an instant, the particles in its hand began to vibrate wildly, and then a powerful wave of ice-blue energy burst forth from its palm.

"Boom! Boom! Crack!!"

The energy wave collided violently with the glass dome, and within seconds, fine cracks appeared on the thick glass layer.

"It can crawl out through the crack!"

Upon spotting the crack, Leibni shouted.

On the other side, Hughes made a sudden move.

His eyes narrowed, and his immense spiritual power suddenly condensed into a sharp spike, piercing straight towards the particle along the crack.

—Buzz!

The moment the mental energy pierced through, the humanoid particle trembled violently.

The next moment, a huge hole appeared at the point of impact, and the scattered particles rapidly gathered together, but could not be completely repaired.

"Ahhh—!"

The particles surged violently, letting out a painful roar, and the original humanoid body began to curl up slightly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jak suddenly pressed a button.

The next moment, the edges of the crack in the glass layer began to wriggle slightly, then slowly closed, repairing the crack.

As for the particle, it was weakened after taking a direct hit from Hughes's mental attack.

Meanwhile, data on the particle bodies is slowly being recovered:

[Sanity restored - 35%...45%...50%]

"For the first time, our rationality was maintained at 50%, so the spirit learned to deceive us and still retained some of its spellcasting ability."

After the crisis was over, Leibni slowly concluded.

"Haha, all thanks to Hughes."

Gack stepped forward and patted Hughes on the back with his large hand.

"You were able to handle that guy's spirit to that extent; your perception is truly sharp."

Upon hearing this, Lawrence clicked his tongue, but did not say anything more as before.

In the months since Hughes arrived, the research team has indeed made significant progress, and these data prove it.

On the other side, Leibni glanced at the blue and white particle body, then stepped forward and pulled down another lever.

"Click—"

The next moment, the bottom of the glass dome suddenly opened, and an even more terrifying suction force came, sucking the weakened particle into it.

Below the glass dome is another "specimen room" in Isela, which is used to collect the research group's experimental results.

This was both to report the progress of the experiment to Ysera and to request new secret sources and wizard spirits from her.

After all, they only study integration, not separation.

"Alright, everyone, let's go back now."

After sending the particle away, Leibni addressed the crowd.

He was the only one among the four who possessed a full pool of magic, and his research on spirits was quite profound, so the others naturally regarded him as their leader.

"Click."

After Jacques and Lawrence left, Hughes was about to follow, but Leibni suddenly spoke up behind him:

"Hughes, wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Hughes turned around and looked at the other person with some confusion.

"Let me give you some pointers on how to make that skin-repairing potion."

"..."

Soon after, the two entered the Voraphos Spire and returned to Leibni's hut.

"Dodo—"

Just like before, Leibni tapped the table twice, and the room suddenly transformed into a fully functional alchemy room.

"I remember you were a space wizard, you could learn that, it would make things much easier."

After saying that, he began to work on refining the skin-shaping potion, while Hughes began to observe the other's refining method.

Now, he can refine most of the ice-attribute potions recorded in "The Winter's Cauldron".

However, he encountered a bottleneck with the plasticizing agent.

However, the bottleneck encountered was not any one of the potions in the combination, but rather the way they were integrated together.

Therefore, Leibni's guidance can be said to have solved his immediate problem.

"Gurgle gurgle".

Time passed slowly, and then with a "bang," the colorful liquid in the specially made crucible suddenly merged, turning into a pot of pure, icy blue liquid.

(To be honest, I was quite keen to set it to "boiled".)

And this is the skin-plasticizing agent (cream skin).

"Splash... splash—"

After the refining was completed, Leibni lightly tapped his fingertip, and the liquid in the crucible automatically split into several streams, each flowing into a few potion bottles.

This time, a total of five bottles of skin-repairing potion were produced.

Leibni raised his hand and waved it, and one of the bottles floated into the air and landed in Hughes's hand.

"Here, you can drink this bottle, but I suggest you use it for analysis."

He said calmly, then turned around and placed the other four bottles on the medicine shelf behind him.

"No need to give me magic stones, I don't need them. Consider this a reward for helping us advance our research and saving me a lot of time."

The reward promised to Hughes by Clotilde and Ysera was based on their personal recommendation.

As for the conditions promised to Leibni, Hughes had no way of knowing.

Judging from their attitude, they were clearly not very satisfied with the compensation.

Little did he know that the "time" Leibni referred to was probably not what he thought.
