Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Host: Luo Kunlun

Bloodline: Mid-ring (strong)

Body: Mid-ring (strong)

Spirit: Lower level of the first ring (strong)

"My current strength is considered strong among first-ring wizards," Luo Kunlun thought to himself as he looked at his stats.

His mental strength, which is close to the middle level of the first ring, goes without saying. As for his bloodline and body, it means that as long as he absorbs some more first-ring creatures, he can reach the upper level of the first ring.

With the strength of a first-level cultivator, one can be considered a ruler of a region, if not invincible, throughout the entire Wizarding Continent.

In the Wizarding Continent, among all the wizarding organizations, the strongest are only second-ring wizards, while third-ring wizards are a thing of the past.

As for the fourth-ring Morning Star wizards above that, it is said that such beings are powerful no matter where they are placed. They can freely roam between worlds, seeking out worlds to plunder and taking anything that can help them.

Getting back to the point, if Luo Kunlun wants to become stronger, seeking out those first-ring magical beasts or first-ring bloodline users is a good option.

But that's where the trouble lies.

One-ring monsters exist in the entire world, except for places like the Dark Forest.

Places like the Dark Forest are mostly located within the territories of organizations on the continent that have second-ring wizards.

The second-circle wizard solidified a second model, his mental energy transformed from liquid to solid, and he lived in this world for a considerable period of time.

People get wise with age; having lived for so long, they must all be incredibly cunning and have many tricks up their sleeves.

Don't be fooled by Luo Kunlun's swift and decisive elimination of Saran, who rose to power in the first ring. That was because he underestimated his opponent, and also because Luo Kunlun was an anomaly.

If the scarlet had emerged from the portal that day, it would have been captured and dissected by Saran long ago, used as bloodline material to modify his body.

Besides, the surviving first-ring magical beasts on the continent are all quite strong, generally at or above the mid-first-ring level, otherwise they would have been hunted down by wizards long ago.

Moreover, their habitat is quite dangerous.

Take the Dark Forest as an example. As a super-large resource point, it is full of magical beasts and rich in resources. Since the origin of wizards in this world, many wizards have built wizard towers and laboratories here.

As time passed, a large number of ancient relics were left behind.

These ruins may contain treasures, but they are more likely to pose dangers.

A bizarre curse, deadly modified bacteria, terrifying creatures imprisoned deep within a laboratory, and even a magic circle that summons powerful life.

High risk, and the potential reward is not necessarily high.

Therefore, it is best not to make any moves in those areas before the time is right.

Even the tower's exploration of the Dark Forest is limited to its outer areas.

Compared to this, other dimensional worlds are more worthy of their exploration.

Besides worlds like the Secret Martial World, which accidentally connected with the Wizarding World, wizards also have ways to actively connect with other worlds.

That method originated from ancient wizards. In Saran's memory, only the second-circle wizard lord of the tower mastered that method, and he would only use it to explore other worlds with his trusted confidants.

The ultimate goal is to find the "Astral Plane".

If we compare each plane of existence to bone cells, then the astral plane is like a bone joint.

A vast world, inhabited by even more powerful extraordinary beings and civilizations.

Once you find that place, you'll be qualified to pursue a higher level of transcendence.

However, this is still a long way from Luo Kunlun.

His most important task now is to improve his strength, reach the second-ring level, and have the power to communicate with the top forces on the continent.

Currently, bloodline life cannot be improved, but Luo Kunlun can improve mental strength and develop derivative magic based on the gravity model.

There's still so much we can do!

...........

In the days that followed, Luo Kunlun's life became peaceful.

He began to meditate and cultivate his spiritual power, as well as conduct some research on magic.

The warehouse itself contained potions used by formal wizards to enhance their spiritual power, which were personally made by Saran, the potion master, and were his most important treasures.

Luo Kunlun doesn't feel bad about using it and uses one tube every day.

At this rate, Luo Kunlun used up the mental enhancement potion in just one month.

If Saran were still alive, he'd probably be furious.

These medicines brought a significant boost to Luo Kunlun, increasing his mental strength by a full 20% compared to a month ago.

If this continues, Luo Kunlun's mental strength will reach the middle level of the first ring in a year.

Unfortunately, it didn't work; the potion was all used up.

The magical materials needed to make this potion are rare. Even Saran relies on the power of the tower to collect them; otherwise, searching alone would be too inefficient.

Although formal wizards have long lifespans, they are still limited in number.

The direct factor affecting the upper limit of lifespan is the soul; as long as the soul still exists, the physical body can be replaced.

The soul of a formal wizard can exist for about five to eight hundred years.

This is the ideal scenario, because due to resources, formal wizards cannot avoid participating in the struggle.

The battles with other wizards, the battles with other races, and in the end, even the victors are inevitably wounded.

It's not just the physical body that's being worn down, but also the soul.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, formal wizards rarely live to see their souls naturally die out.

Besides fighting, formal wizards also need to meditate and study. Where would they find the time to travel all over the world to collect materials?

Therefore, they will create a separate force to handle miscellaneous matters.

"However, if I want to establish a force to gather materials, it will take a lot of effort."

As a first-ring high-ranking wizard, and at the pinnacle of the second ring, the potion recipes left behind by Saran were certainly not something that any makeshift team could easily obtain.

It would take multiple formal wizarding factions to collect them.

But Luo Kunlun had no interest in playing any management games, especially since there were other ways for him to improve his strength.

The energy converted in a nuclear reactor can also enhance strength, but the effect is relatively small and requires time to accumulate.

Besides, devouring other creatures is also an option, but the difference in strength between them and other creatures cannot be too great.

However, with the addition of meditation and cultivation, working in tandem, one's spiritual power could reach the upper level of the first ring in three or four hundred years.

And one's own lifespan is above this number.

It's just like a dragon; even if it does nothing and sleeps all day, it has super strength just by passively absorbing magic power.

But Luo Kunlun obviously couldn't just wait around like that.
