Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Hughes arranged the basement like this to test the compatibility of the heart with the four corpses.

Originally, his idea was to implant the heart into the corpse of a fire wizard or a body-refining wizard.

However, when he went to the black market in a nearby town, he found that either the corpses did not meet the requirements, or they were apprentice-level.

But now the situation is urgent, so in order to quickly enhance his strength, Hughes prepares to implant the heart into the corpse of one of the great knights.

Moreover, he had already had an idea in his mind for some time.

Just like the bio-engineering masters in the wizarding world, he personally transformed a "knight" into someone comparable to a formal wizard.

Furthermore, with the advancement of biological modification technology and the wizard's level, he can continue to modify the strength of this corpse.

The knight system that Hughes chose was the "Demon Seed Knight," which was based on the life seed of the Great Knight.

"Click—"

Soon, as Hughes activated the device, the heart began to beat violently.

"Splash! Splash!!"

In an instant, countless fire element particles surged from his heart and began to slowly spread along the four channels.

The longer these particles spread within the pipe, the higher the compatibility of the corresponding Grand Knight's body with the fire element.

"..."

Soon after, the results of the investigations into the four great knights' corpses were obtained.

To Hughes's surprise, one of the pipes was now filled with fire element particles, and the surface temperature began to rise sharply.

And this pipe was connected to the only silver-armored great knight who was present at the time.

"Click—"

Hughes first severed the connection between the glass dome and the other three pipes, then slowly walked toward the container holding the corpse of the Silver-Armored Knight.

Although it was preserved in time, two years have passed and the other person's skin has become somewhat grayish, but the muscle lines are still firm.

"I remember, this guy's name is Nistre, and he's using two greatswords."

He recalled that when the blond nobleman called out to the other person, he happened to hear it from behind.

"Hmm... the best fit is also the one with the best physical fitness, so it's a pretty good result."

It was clear back then that this Nister was the strongest of the four great knights.

After all, the opponent was someone who could fight with a heavy greatsword in each hand, and even continuously created afterimages while swinging.

If he hadn't been ganged up on and then ambushed by assassins, he wouldn't have been the first to die.

"Click-clack"

Hughes then pulled down the lever next to the container.

"Splash, splash..."

The next moment, the green slime inside was completely sucked up by the bottom of the container, and then some orange-red liquid was poured into the top of the container.

"Gulp, gulp..."

Although these liquids are clearer than magma, they emit a temperature that is even hotter than magma.

They slowly washed over Nister's body, then seeped into his limbs, gradually enveloping his cold, stiff form.

"..."

The great knight's body was already cold and stiff, and parts of his flesh had completely rotted and decayed before he was alive.

Therefore, Hughes specially formulated these tonics for them, which could use the fire element particles contained within to temper this dead flesh.

Refined by elemental particles, this dead flesh, though unable to become demonized organs, is still better than ordinary flesh and more compatible with the heart.

Of course, the most important thing is that it can replenish the energy of the life seeds that have fallen into a state of stagnation within the corpse.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!! Sizzle!!"

Once the liquid had submerged Nister's head, a terrifyingly high temperature suddenly erupted.

Even through the container, the outside air was distorted slightly by the intense heat.

Necromancer Summoning

"puff--"

The entire process takes several days, and the supplements need to be changed several times along the way.

Therefore, Hughes summoned Mr. Poison Demon to do the work of making better tonics for him.

As for himself, he needs to prepare as soon as possible for the more difficult fusion experiments that will follow the Fugri Spire.

The experiment has now progressed to its later stages, and the wizards' souls have all reached level two strength, making them difficult to control.

It's even rumored that Ysera herself will personally participate in the next experiment.

It is clear that the other party has abandoned the plan of synthesizing the true name secret source and has finally chosen their alternative approach.

"..."

At night, the top of the Fugri Tower is brightly lit.

Hughes walked through the long corridor and finally entered the familiar experimental area.

Ysera has not yet arrived, but the other three are present.

"Hey, Hughes..."

At that moment, Jak, who was closest to the main entrance, suddenly walked over quickly, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Hahaha, that was thrilling! I never expected you to escape the Black Ring Crown's assassination attempt!"

He patted Hughes on the back with a dull thud.

Moreover, Leibni and Lawrence, though silent, looked at Hughes with a strange gaze.

"Haha, I don't think this was a particularly good experience for me."

Hughes shrugged upon hearing this, not surprised by the crowd's reaction.

Clearly, the commotion of the past few days had already spread throughout the academy, and his survival alone from the assassination attempt by the Black Ring Crown had naturally become a hot topic of discussion.

The last person to escape unscathed from an assassination attempt by the Black Ring Crown was Barossa a few years ago.

"Alright, Gak, the current situation is very sensitive. We'd better avoid mentioning the Black Ring."

At this moment, Leibni spoke up, while giving Jacques a wink.

The other party clearly realized something, nodded to Hughes, and immediately ran back to his original position, then stood respectfully at attention.

"Click—thump."

Sure enough, the heavy door slowly opened the next second, and Ysera's figure appeared.

"Da, da, da..."

She walked in slowly, her gentle footsteps echoing in the silent experimental area, an invisible pressure silently enveloping the entire space.

Her expression was unusually serious, and even the clothes she was wearing were rather ugly wide robes.

This is a specially made set of experimental protective gear, specifically sewn for close contact with the secret source, which can effectively isolate the erosion from the secret source.

"Everyone...is everyone here?"

Ysera glanced at the crowd, her tone calm and even, yet carrying a strong sense of pressure.

"Now, our spire has reached its most important stage."

"As you all have seen, I have abandoned the original plan and decided to personally conduct this fusion experiment with you."

"Furthermore, there is only one set of soul material for a level two wizard, which means you only have one chance this time. Therefore, I require all of you to make absolutely no mistakes."
