Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

Next, Wayne experimented with several other swarm patterns in an open area of ​​the forest.

For example, control twelve armed stinging flies to conduct targeted patrols along a designated route.

It can be used to guard the camp when going on adventures, and to conduct circular reconnaissance around the camp.

Alternatively, you could control several armed stinging flies to dash through the gaps in the dense foliage of the forest, chasing after prey and constantly transmitting the view back to continue the pursuit.

Or it could be a function to tail or mark a target, etc.

"The use of cellular networks can greatly enrich and expand the functions of the swarm, and as the level of practice increases, one will only become more proficient in controlling and applying them."

"As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Just like ancient generals training their troops, only through diligent practice and frequent 'troop deployment' using cellular networks to manipulate the swarm will one be able to use it more flexibly and freely in the future, and with sufficient proficiency, come up with even more creative uses!"

"Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that this kind of practice can also improve one's mental strength!"

Now, Wayne accessed the Hive Intelligence and saw that his mental strength had increased by a few tenths, reaching a value of [Mental Strength: 5.9].

I couldn't help but smile.

After all, although the Hive Network is powerful, it is powered by its own mental energy.

One's own mental strength is the source of energy.

Through continuous use and practice, controlling the insect swarm also serves as a form of mental training.

The degree of concentration and control over mental energy is more refined and subtle.

At this moment, Wayne thought of the [Five-Ball Suspension Pivot Meditation Method] that he had been practicing, which involved meditating on the black ball to continuously refine his mental power and improve his ability to control it.

A sudden realization dawned on Wayne's eyes.

"Perhaps this is the essence of various wizarding meditation methods! Through a certain concrete meditation process, for example, other types of 'corona' meditation involve visualizing the sun during meditation; 'rose' meditation involves visualizing a crystal rose in one's mind during meditation. The more realistic the texture and details of the rose, the higher the strength of one's mental power... and so on. All of these are ways to continuously temper and strengthen one's mental power, thereby increasing one's wizarding rank."

"If that's the case, wouldn't I also be able to create my own unique meditation method based on this 'swarm' model?"

Wayne had an interesting idea.

Those capable of creating meditation techniques are at least at the level of formal wizards.

Furthermore, the meditation method he created was able to spread and be promoted, becoming a basic meditation method used by countless wizard apprentices to build their foundation.

The founders of that meditation method were all exceptionally talented and capable individuals.

For example, the basic meditation method used by all wizard apprentices who have joined the Black Forest City Wizarding Academy is the Five-Sphere Suspension Meditation Method.

It is said that this meditation method was created by a legendary dean at the Wizarding Academy in the Black Forest City.

Furthermore, it has been continuously optimized and adjusted by successive deans.

This eventually evolved into the highly complete "Five-Sphere Suspension Meditation Method" as it is today, which is used by all wizard apprentices.

"If I become a formal wizard in the future, maybe I can leave behind my own meditation method."

"Hmm... As for the name, since it utilizes the differentiation of thought within a swarm for mental training, it can be called the 'Swarm' Meditation Method, leaving behind my own unique legacy... Hehe!"

Wayne thought excitedly.

Of course, these are all future visions and plans.

My immediate priority is to improve my mental strength as soon as possible and strive to become a first-class wizard apprentice.

Because after becoming a first-class wizard apprentice, not only does one's ability to control one's mental power become stronger, but one is also able to control a larger swarm of insects.

Furthermore, the status of a first-class wizard apprentice is significantly higher than that of other second-class and third-class wizard apprentices!

First-class wizard apprentices can be accepted as wizard assistants by their mentors and participate in the daily affairs of the academy. They can be considered the backbone of the wizarding academy in the Black Forest City.

Take the drought and plague outbreak in Holman's family territory, for example; it was an act of deliberate retaliation.

If Holman had been a first-class wizard apprentice at the time, he could have directly applied to the Black Forest City Academic Committee for support from the Academy's Emergency Situation Investigation Department.

It naturally contains various wizard apprentices skilled in potion-making who can travel to their family territories to treat patients with potions and stop the spread of the plague.

Instead of going through Mentor Morse and using Mentor Morse's authority as a formal wizard to submit an application to the Emergency Situations Investigation Department.

Even later, when Morse's mentor personally went to "seek justice," he was reportedly turned away and had a very unpleasant encounter with the academic committee members.

Later investigations revealed that the plague was not a natural disaster but a man-made one.

It was caused by witchcraft apprentices from other organizations deliberately poisoning the sewers of Greyhawk Keep by injecting magically modified creatures, thus artificially creating and spreading the plague.

Once the situation is reported, a wizard from the academy will step in and put pressure on the wizarding organization called "The Cabin in the Woods" to resolve the problem.

Instead of being retaliated against or bullied by the other party, and then having to take the initiative to reconcile with them, which is incredibly frustrating.

Because the number of people who can be promoted to first-class wizard apprentices is extremely small, all first-class wizard apprentices are good candidates who will be able to become full-fledged wizards in the future.

These are "valuable resources" within the college, enough to mobilize the college's resources to resolve the problems students encounter.

"Indeed, this is true power! The wizarding world pursues eternal interests; selfishness is the underlying nature of its operation. One must strive to become stronger!"

Next, shaking his head to dismiss these thoughts, Wayne turned and returned to the city of the Black Forest.

......

When Wayne returned to the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower.

Unexpectedly, Professor Morse had already returned from his trip.

Now, standing at the bottom of the Wizard Tower, you can see orange lights shining in Professor Morse's laboratory on the top floor.

So, on a whim, Wayne went up to him.

After going up the spiral staircase and arriving at the laboratory, we saw that Professor Morse had brought back some experimental materials from his trip.

Some animals, such as cats and dogs, were locked in cages and shivering in a corner.

There were also some unidentified plant materials, some red and some white, in different shapes, some were mushrooms, some were vines, branches and the like.

It seems that Professor Morse has had a very fruitful trip.
