Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

After Mu Shuang left, Xia Jian turned around and went back to the laboratory.

Looking at Westin, whose body was still undergoing strange changes, Xia Jian couldn't figure out what type of beast bloodline it was.

Westin's mutations primarily stemmed from skeletal changes, resulting in elongated arms, bone spurs growing on his back, and gray scales appearing on his face.

However, there are not many of this type of exotic beasts. Most of the exotic beasts that Xia Jian knows are within the third tier, and after a round of comparisons, he has gained nothing.

Moreover, there were many things that Natsumi couldn't confirm. Although it seemed to be a bloodline mutation, Natsumi always felt that things were not that simple.

Seeing Westin in a coma, Natsume immediately took some samples from Westin, hoping to find some useful clues.

Otherwise, if this mutation continues, Westin will most likely be assimilated by it and become a completely alien creature.

Xia Jian glanced at the flesh slime. This time, the flesh slime did not crash into the glass, but instead wandered in the direction where Westin was.

"There are so many annoying things happening every day."

Seeing this, Xia Jian shook his head slightly, lamenting his bad luck, as all the troubles had come at once in one day.

Especially Mu Shuang. Although he didn't know what she was planning, he could tell from Mu Shuang's tone that if he couldn't learn the Soul Splitting Technique, he probably wouldn't be so lucky this time.

…………

Xia Jian spent the next two days in the laboratory.

Westin's condition was terrible. Although his genes had slowly stabilized, he had lost his human form and turned into a monster covered in bone growths.

Its entire body is covered in bone armor, and in addition to the spikes on its shoulder blades, many barbs grow on its hunched back.

Its arms are long and reach past its knees, gray scales spread along its bony armor on its face, and a bony tail grows from its tail.

Although Xia Jian still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Westin, the bloodline inhibitor he developed successfully stopped Westin from mutating further.

But that's all we can do for now; we'll just have to see if Westin can pull through.

Because Xia Jian needs to break through to the second tier and learn the Soul Splitting Technique as soon as possible, he needs to save his own life first, rather than Westin's.

Xia Jian had a feeling that Mu Shuang was really going to make a big move this time, but he didn't know what she was planning...

…………

After dealing with Westin's matter, Natsume returned to his room.

Xia Jian took out the Soul Splitting Technique to examine the contents carefully. He felt helpless every time he saw something like this.

Although the forbidden technique is indeed very powerful, it is really useless against Xia Jian, who is capable of casting powerful spells.

After all, these are things that require a cost. They seem normal at the moment, but no one knows what the consequences will be if they are used repeatedly.

Of course, the main reason is that no one has ever used it like Natsumi.

This is a life-saving skill, so who would use it like a regular skill for no reason?

What's even more outrageous this time is that Mu Shuang actually used the most unique soul-based magic.

The importance of the three souls and seven spirits is self-evident. Even if the cost can be minimized, repeated use will likely not end well.

According to Xia Jian's prediction, if used frequently, the least he would pay would be damage to his talent and aptitude.

Putting down the book, Xia Jian began cultivating according to the instructions in it.

Within Xia Jian's sea of ​​consciousness, his spiritual power began to fluctuate violently, surging like a tidal wave.

Fortunately, Xia Jian's mental strength was very resilient. He quickly became familiar with the cultivation method of the Soul Splitting Technique, began to control the mental strength in his sea of ​​consciousness, and then condensed the mental strength into unique runes.

As before, the nature of forbidden techniques was evident from the very beginning.

An extraordinary cultivation speed!

Although the forbidden soul technique took a little longer to master, Xia Jian still managed to grasp its basics in just half a day.

At this moment, within Xia Jian's sea of ​​consciousness, the runes formed by his spiritual power were arranged in a special way.

As everything proceeded according to the Soul Splitting Technique, the spiritual runes slowly transformed into a pale golden blade, emitting a unique spiritual fluctuation.

Xia Jian slowly opened his eyes, and the pale golden blade in his sea of ​​consciousness slowly dissipated.

"Phew~"

"The first step is complete, the rest is much simpler."

The moment the Soul Splitting Technique was mastered, the '+1' talent transferred a large amount of knowledge into Xia Jian's mind. All he needed to do next was improve upon it based on this knowledge.

Compared to ordinary spells, forbidden spells are indeed remarkable.

It is powerful, requires little training time, and if it has no side effects, it is a perfect spell.

However, Natsume knew that this was impossible.

The Heavenly Evolution has lost one of its forty-nine elements, and even Heaven and Earth have flaws, let alone a magic spell. Anything that seems perfect is merely 'pseudo' perfection.

…………

After resting for half a day, Xia Jian took out the Hibiscus Sprout.

He used this thing to incite a battle between Yinmo Valley and the Arctic Sky Wolf Palace, and I heard that a second-tier wizard and two first-tier wizards died.

Fortunately, he was beaten up by Mu Shuang during the last trip to the ruins, so those two forces didn't notice.

Of course, those people probably didn't expect him to advance to the first-tier wizard so quickly.

Once the hibiscus buds are mature, they do not require any special processing and can be swallowed directly.

After washing it, Xia Jian swallowed it, and a warm current immediately spread from his abdomen to his limbs and bones, giving him an indescribable feeling of comfort.

As the meditation method was activated, the energy brought by the hibiscus buds began to transform into spiritual power.

Time passed slowly, and in just one day, Xia Jian felt that his mental strength had improved considerably.

When the effects of the medicine wore off, Xia Jian slowly opened his eyes, a hint of regret appearing in them.

"That's quite a difference."
