Wizard Earl

Chapter 162 Intermediate Wizard Apprentice (2)

Taking a deep breath, Connor calmed himself and began to chant the concentration spell from the Abyss Secrets. As soon as he chanted the spell, Connor immediately felt that the whispering in his ears had significantly decreased.

Maintaining this state, Connor closed his eyes as planned, began to circulate the Abyss Secret Technique he had cultivated in his body, and meditated on the spiritual runes of the Abyss Secret Technique in his divine sea.

"Buzz!"

The three runes that were originally floating in Connor's divine sea emitted a buzzing sound as Connor exerted his full strength. Then, countless dark lights condensed around the three runes in the divine sea, forming a spiritual seed. This spiritual seed was pulsating continuously under the endless energy around it, as if the thing inside might break out of its cocoon at any moment!

Upon observing this, Connor was overjoyed. He knew that he had already completed half of the breakthrough process. All that remained was to provide enough energy to transform the spiritual seed into a rune!

Sitting in the center of the magic circle, Connor made a hand gesture, and the energy concentration in the "Dawn of the Spirit" alchemy circle increased by more than half again!

Sensing the energy concentration within the magic circle increase again, Connor opened his mouth, and all the energy in the circle surged into it. Since the spiritual seed needed energy, he might as well go all out!

With such a strong energy boost, the spiritual seed in Connor's mind immediately began to stir more intensely, and its speed increased dramatically!

"Buzz!"

Just three seconds later, a buzzing sound rang out again in Connor's mind sea. As this buzzing sound rang out, the mind sea seed transformed into a dark mental rune that shimmered with a mysterious luster. However, compared to the original three runes, this new rune was somewhat dim in its brilliance.

Although the fourth rune was somewhat dimmer than the other three, it gave Connor a qualitative change. From this moment on, the strength of his mental power and the strength of his internal mana clearly jumped to a new level. As for the newly condensed mental rune being somewhat dimmer, Connor was not worried. This was a normal phenomenon. Once he consolidated his cultivation and the rune absorbed enough energy, it would naturally become the same as the other three.

"Ha ha!"

Feeling such wonderful changes in his divine sea, Connor could no longer contain his joy and laughed out loud.

From that moment on, he had become an intermediate wizard apprentice. The breakthrough process was very smooth, and it was even an understatement to say that it was a natural progression. This made Connor, who had been somewhat worried before, feel that he had been a little too cautious!

Although he had successfully broken through, Connor did not stop the operation of the magic circle. Instead, he took out several magic stones that he had specially kept from his spatial ring, gently stroked the magic stones with his palm, and started the Abyss Secret Technique in his body. The energy in the magic stones and the remaining energy in the magic circle once again poured into Connor's body.

What Connor is doing now is a very important step after his breakthrough. Before, he was gathering energy to break through the bottleneck. Now that he has taken that step, he needs to frantically replenish his energy after the breakthrough and consolidate his cultivation to lay a solid foundation for his next cultivation.

Connor was extremely meticulous in consolidating his cultivation, daring not to be careless in the slightest. He stayed in the attic for a full day and night before putting away the magic array and coming out of the attic.

In a great mood, Connor took out a bottle of good wine and cooked himself a steak, his favorite dish, to reward his hungry stomach.

After a gust of wind swept away the remaining clouds, Connor, having eaten and drunk his fill, once again channeled his spirit into his deep sea. At this moment, four spiritual runes in his deep sea were floating, shimmering with a mysterious black light. The newly condensed rune, which had originally been dull in comparison, had absorbed enough energy under Connor's consolidation of his cultivation and had become as radiant as the other three.

Nodding in satisfaction, Connor took another small sip of his Romano Conti, savoring its smooth and delicate texture. Connor knew very well that the appearance of the fourth rune, although seemingly just a numerical change, one more than the previous three, was actually a qualitative leap. With the fourth mental rune successfully condensed, the condensation of the fifth and sixth runes was only a matter of time.

"Chip, calculate the increase in my strength as an intermediate wizard apprentice!" Lying on the large bed, Connor lazily commanded the chip in his mind!

"Beep! In accordance with the subject's will, mission established. Scanning and detection in progress. Estimated time: one minute... Mission complete. The subject's mental strength has increased by 231% compared to before, and mana strength has also increased by 197%!"

Connor didn't find this result significant. He primarily cultivated mental attributes, so it was perfectly normal for his mental strength to increase so much more than his magical strength.

Touching his chin, Connor had a sudden thought, and a faint, dark flame appeared on his palm.

Looking at the faint flame, Connor fell into deep thought. The appearance of this spiritual fire naturally meant that the shackles that had been troubling Connor in refining level two enchanted items had been removed. Once he had a better alchemy furnace, he could start trying to refine level two enchanted items!

Connor had already planned out his next steps. His immediate priority was to craft the Silver Pendant and the Castia Staff. He had already prepared the materials for both items, and all he needed was the alchemy furnace.

His original two enchanted items, the Shadow Dagger and the Violet Ring, were considered powerful at the beginner wizard apprentice level, but now they are only average and do not significantly enhance his strength. However, once the Silver Pendant and the Castia Staff are crafted, Connor feels confident that with these two items, he, who has just advanced to intermediate wizard apprentice, will be able to defeat even powerful intermediate wizard apprentices!

Connor took out a spatial ring from his pocket, his eyes filled with anticipation. This spatial ring was naturally the one belonging to Snake Eyes, the high-level wizard apprentice he had killed. Previously, when he was still a beginner wizard apprentice, Connor was unable to open this ring, but now that he had become an intermediate wizard apprentice and was also a mental wizard, Connor felt that he could now try to remove Snake Eyes' mental imprint from this spatial ring!
