Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Night falls outside the town.

The once dark and quiet forest was now bustling with noise, and various forms of witchcraft were being performed, turning the scene into daylight.

The leaders of more than a dozen wizarding organizations, including the Golden Hut, the White Bear Order, and the Spirit Light Wizarding Party, gathered around a patch of broken ice.

"Brandon, does your White Bear Order have any experts in ice magic?"

"Caller, I suspect that someone from your Golden Hut secretly stole the Flower of Tranquility."

"Alright everyone, what's the point of this pointless arguing? What we need to figure out now is who got the upper hand in the end."

"Your Spiritual Light Party has the most mixed elements; it's possible that some of them are even your own people."

……

"A bunch of idiots, what's the point of arguing like this? They might as well go back and rest for a few days..."

The scene was like a bustling vegetable market, with everyone holding back their anger.

In truth, everyone knows that the battle for the Flower of Tranquility has come to an end.

The duck we've been chasing for so long has really flown away!

They had checked another battlefield; Nolan had escaped then, but was ambushed here and died a gruesome death.

The crowd gathered around the still-unmelted iceberg, silently reenacting the scene.

Judging from the scene, the power of the witchcraft did not seem to be very great, only at the level of an average advanced apprentice.

But why would dozens or even hundreds of extremely hard ice layers form?

They had a lot of knowledge about witchcraft that could form icebergs, but the details didn't quite match up.

Suddenly, it seemed as if someone in the crowd received a message. The surroundings were quiet at first, then the noise quickly grew.

"What? The wizard Elivia and Nolan's mentor have already made a deal? Nolan's death is over?"

Everyone who heard the news was so shocked they saw stars!

No way! You're a legitimate wizard, how could you personally get involved? Don't you have any shame?

"Don't talk nonsense. It wasn't the wizard Alyvia; it was her student, the elven genius Iserline!"

"That can't be right! Wasn't she supposed to be cultivating in the tower, preparing for a breakthrough? Besides, she's a nature-based wizard; this is clearly ice-based magic!"

"There's something fishy going on! There's definitely something fishy going on!!!"

"Heh! Go find them and argue with them, go ahead!"

……

Brandon and Galle exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bitterness.

"Let's call it a day, it's all over!"

Brandon paused for a moment, then said, "After a few days of rest, I will continue exploring the ruins. I'm sure I'll break through to become a formal wizard within six months!"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the deep forest without looking back, and the darkness gradually swallowed his figure.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the deep forest returned to tranquility.

……

After taking a shower, Ian lay in bed, replaying the battle with Nolan in his mind.

After watching for a while, he discovered several of his shortcomings: his attack was not strong enough, his speed was not fast enough, and his shield was not thick enough.

"Now that the crisis has temporarily subsided, let's take this time to make up for our shortcomings as much as possible."

He took out the reward Harvey had given him, a ray-based sorcery spell perfectly suited to his needs: "Burning Ray."

This witchcraft is somewhat compatible with his innate affinity for light.

Ian could already imagine that once this sorcery broke through its limits, its power would far exceed that of the Frost Ray!

[Burning Ray: Beginner (0/100)]

We've found a solution for attack power, but as for speed, we'll have to seek out magic in the tower.

"Anyway, we don't lack magic stones right now, so it's okay if they're a bit expensive."

The tower's extensive list of witchcraft should be able to meet his needs.

Finally, regarding the shield, he had activated the magical artifact shield once during a previous battle, but it was quickly broken by Nolan's magic.

Even the ring shield of the wizard Elivia couldn't stop Nolan's "Death Knell".

He never even considered using his half-baked crystal shield in the later battles; it was too fragile!

It seems we still need to go to the tower to find a light-based shield, but unfortunately this kind of magic is very rare.

Even if he had the opportunity, he might not be able to learn it at his current level.

"Let's practice for now and see how it performs after the Crystal Energy Barrier is broken."

What surprised him most in this battle was his strong physique.

In his transformed state, even Nolan's life drain couldn't affect him; of course, Nolan was also near death at that time.

If it were Nolan at his peak, it would be almost impossible for him to defeat his opponent; Ian was aware of that much.

The ice layer imprisoned by his rays would be instantly shattered by Nolan; the power of their sorcery differed considerably.

In the future, when he encounters enemies of this level, he can only rely on the freezing and slowing ability of the Frost Ray to escape.

"So, I'm actually pretty strong!"

I am still an intermediate apprentice, but I can already hold my own against advanced apprentices for a while.

Ian felt a sense of relief; after hiding for so long, he had finally regained some confidence.

However, as he learns more skills in the future, it will take more time, and he simply won't be able to practice them all!

He had wanted to level up many skills for a long time, but he just couldn't find the time.

"This situation will become more and more obvious as the level increases, so it seems we need to plan ahead."

See which skills need to be streamlined to minimize their time consumption.

After weighing his options for a moment, he suddenly changed his approach.

Since I can't outrun others, I'll just stop running and become a powerful turret wizard.

That would simplify his spell combinations considerably.

With a thought, the panel appeared before my eyes.

[Level: Intermediate Wizard Apprentice (14%)]

[Talent: Moderate Light Affinity]

【Skill: Star Moon Low-Level Meditation Technique: Proficient (281/400)】

Wizard's Hand: Mastery (297/400)

Frost Ray: Break Limit 1 time (41/800) (Break Limit Special Effect: 1. Twin)

Vigilant Eye: Proficient (263/400)

Bloodline Purification Technique: Beginner (63/200)

Crystal Energy Barrier: Proficient (0/400)

Burning Rays: Beginner (0/100)

Awakening Potion: Control (395/400)

Rock Bear Potion: Beginner (8/400)

Basic Potion Identification: Mastery (144/400)

The proficiency level for the Awakening Potion is only a few points away from breaking the limit, and it won't take much time. This can be prioritized.

This was a life-saving skill that helped him overcome difficulties after he transmigrated, and he still had some feelings for it.

I'm already falling behind in my cultivation progress. Let's see how the special effects are after breaking through the limits!

First, Ian ranked meditation first, as it is a skill that requires a long-term commitment and its position is unshakeable.

Meditation is the foundation of everything; it not only accelerates the condensation of mental energy but also increases the total amount of mental energy.

After thinking for a while, Ian decided to temporarily assign the last two spells as "Crystal Energy Barrier" and "Vigilant Eye".

Although the shield performs poorly, it is Ian's only shield spell at the moment, and there is no alternative.

"Vigilant Eyes" can effectively observe enemy movements and prevent being ambushed.

As for other witchcraft, he felt that Lesser Frost Ray and Scorching Ray were on par, and he would practice them whenever he had time.

"Burning Rays" should be prioritized, as its proficiency can be improved quickly in the early stages.

His strongest offensive spell, "Secondary Frost Ray," is far from reaching its second limit, and its proficiency is still difficult to improve, so he can only practice it in his spare time.

Various potions, especially bloodline potions, still need to be prioritized for improvement, as this is a crucial aspect of his defense.

From this perspective, his defense, attack, and early warning systems are basically complete.
