Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Ian scanned the dimensional ring with his mental energy, revealing hundreds of various precious potions and over two hundred high-grade magic stones neatly arranged inside.

And... the "Shadow Raven Blood Essence" extracted from the complete heart of a first-tier transcendent creature, "Flowing Wind Shadow Raven," has an energy concentration five times that of top-tier blood essence.

Within the crystal-clear blood essence, the extraordinary bloodline no longer appears as threads, but as a complete spectral shadow of a raven, constantly moving within it.

This was a "test" brought by Amos last month. At that time, Ian, due to his limited strength, only gave Amos a relatively impure blood essence.

Even so, the surprise in Amos's eyes was almost impossible to hide.

However, not long ago, after Ian broke through the limit of the Bloodline Purification Technique for the second time, he refined the remaining blood essence again and purified it into a complete first-tier blood essence!

These seven months were the longest period of peaceful cultivation Ian had ever had, and also the one in which he gained the most.

He brought up the panel and opened the subpage.

[Intermediate Star and Moon Meditation Method: Mastery (1598/1600)]

[Bloodline Purification Technique: Breakthrough 2nd Time (1/3200) (Breakthrough Effects: 1. Soul Devouring, 2. Awakening)]

【Burning Ray: Limit Break Two (12/3200) (Limit Break Special Effects: 1. Focus, 2. Sunfire)】

【Crystal Energy Barrier: Limit Break Second Time (84/3200) (Limit Break Effects: 1. Recombination, 2. Floating Crystal Guardian)】

[Rockbear Potion: Mastery (147/1600)]

Ian's gaze swept across the panel, a sense of indescribable satisfaction welling up inside him.

Seven months of almost complete seclusion and arduous training squeezed every last bit of potential out of him, yielding fruitful results.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the sea of ​​consciousness.

The seventy-five will runes were not only of equal size, but also, after being nourished by medicinal power and cleansed by spiritual energy countless times, they became as solid as starlight and refined gold, shining brightly.

The energy loops between them are smooth and resilient, like the orbits of stars, stable and efficient.

Unfortunately, a small portion of the entire rune array is still not fully constructed, giving it a somewhat flawed appearance.

The most significant change is in the "fog" that permeates the entire mental landscape.

It was no longer a thin mist that required careful perception to detect, but a dense, almost tangible, silvery-white spiritual fog!

These thick fogs flowed and surged slowly, each surge carrying immense vitality, as if they could condense into some higher form at any moment.

"Completely vaporized..." Ian murmured to himself.

This level of refinement has surpassed what an apprentice should have; the quantity and quality of his spiritual power are no less than those of newly promoted formal wizards.

Just one step away, at the moment the array of will runes is fully constructed, the rules of the world will be activated, breaking through the barriers of life to complete the leap.

Afterwards, by taking advantage of the brief enlightenment brought about by the rule, one can condense a natal spell and truly step into the ranks of formal wizards.

His path to advancement was the opposite of others; he first atomized his spiritual power and then completed the outline of his will runes.

The biggest problem for other advanced apprentices is that their spiritual power is not pure enough to vaporize, while Ian's spiritual power has been refined through multiple skill breakthroughs, allowing him to vaporize first.

He carefully experienced the core spells and the new power brought about by the second breakthrough.

Bloodline Purification Technique (Breaking Limits Twice)

The newly acquired special effect, [Awakening], grants Ian the ability to access deeper ancient imprints or hidden rare talent fragments within his bloodline when refining bloodline essence.

This "awakening" does not directly grant talent, but rather temporarily seals the activated strange energy within the blood essence.

When using this special blood essence, in addition to obtaining regular pure life energy, one can also perceive this "awakened fragment".

This allows them to resonate more deeply with extraordinary bloodlines and even inherit certain special abilities.

This also explains why Amos valued the blood essence he refined so much, and even tested his ability to process the heart of a first-order transcendent being.

Blood essence containing the "awakening" effect is far more valuable than ordinary blood essence to apprentices who are stuck at a bottleneck or seeking to deepen their bloodline. It is a catalyst that can trigger a qualitative change.

[Burning Rays (Second Limit Exceeded)]

The new special effect, [Sunfire], is not simply a temperature increase, but rather imbues the rays with the purifying properties of "true solar fire".

It has additional restraining and destructive effects against negative energy creatures or witchcraft such as undead, shadows, curses, etc.

Wherever the rays pass, the evil aura is greatly purified, like ice and snow meeting boiling water.

More importantly, the combination of the [Sunfire] effect and the one-time limit-breaking [Focus] means that when the ray hits the target, it not only causes terrible high-temperature burning and penetrating damage, but also leaves a lasting "Sunfire Burn Mark" on the wound.

This mark will continuously dispel negative energy and severely hinder the target's regenerative abilities. It will be extremely effective against enemies who excel in recovery.

【Crystal Energy Barrier (Breaking the Limit Twice)】

The new special effect, "Floating Crystal Guardian," is a unique ability born from Ian's successful integration of some crystal rune structures into the energy shield model, combined with a second breakthrough.

While maintaining the main body [Crystal Energy Barrier], it can separate up to six small, independent hexagonal crystal shields.

These "floating crystal guards" are not fixed around Ian's body, but can be mentally controlled by him, moving flexibly within a ten-meter radius around him and autonomously blocking attacks from different angles.

It can even, according to Ian's will, actively collide with or intercept enemies or their launched magic.

Each "Floating Crystal Guardian" has a defensive strength of about one-third that of the main barrier, and the current defensive strength of the main barrier is about twice that of before.

The flexibility and sheer number of Crystal Guardians greatly enhance the ability to deal with multiple attacks, stray arrows, or complex battle situations.

Their energy originates from the same source as the main barrier, and their consumption is relatively controllable, making them a clever application that integrates offense and defense.

As for the secondary limit-breaking effect of [Secondary Frost Ray], [Deep Freeze], Ian has already proven its power in actual combat. Its ability to effectively freeze and disintegrate the material structure from the inside has become his reliable means of controlling the field and killing.

With his fully vaporized spiritual power and several core sorcery spells that have broken through limits twice, Ian is now able to run rampant among advanced apprentices.

He even had the confidence to briefly contend with the weakest level one wizard, seeking an opportunity to escape.

However, he remained completely unperturbed.

The implicit hints in Amos's words, and the seemingly relaxed yet increasingly intense atmosphere in this luminous woodland, were like invisible threads reminding him that undercurrents might be surging beneath the calm surface.

"Strength is the foundation for dealing with everything."

Ian muttered to himself, his gaze sharpening.

He looked again at the proficiency level of [Intermediate Star and Moon Meditation] on the panel (1598/1600).

"Only two points left."

Without hesitation, he immediately took a dose of the [Mind-Concentrating Potion], sat cross-legged, and sank into the deepest level of meditation.

As the medicine took effect, a cool energy surged into the sea of ​​consciousness, causing the already dense sea of ​​consciousness to begin rotating at an accelerated pace.

The seventy-five runes of will shone brightly, their connections becoming even stronger, as if they were about to merge into one.

As always, Ian instinctively guided his mental energy, following the path recorded in the meditation method...
