Wizard Earl

Chapter 364 Advanced Wizard Apprentice (1)

The Soul-Searching Technique couldn't find anything in the demonized knight's soul, but fortunately, Connor found some information in the guy's spatial ring. He learned that the demonized knight was named Isa, a minor leader among the demonized knights of the Skull and Bones Society, leading several other demonized knights whose strength was equivalent to that of a mid-level wizard apprentice. What caught Connor's attention the most was that Isa was directly commanded and led by the Grand Alchemist Southgate within the Skull and Bones Society!

Perhaps because Connor wasn't skilled in this area, he didn't gain much valuable information about the demonized knight named Isa during the dissection. To Connor, dissecting Isa's body was no different from dissecting a magical beast's corpse. If there was any gain Connor made during the dissection, it was that he found a red and green crystal inside Isa's head, resembling a magical beast's core.

After collecting the ashes from the burned demon knight Isa and disposing of them in the sewers, Connor left the safe house, reapplied his disguise, and headed towards the Rune train station. This matter was now considered closed; he was now heading to Tunguska.

········

Three days later, in Tunguska.

In a secluded cave on the outskirts of Tunguska, Connor sat cross-legged on a blue and white silk robe, intently surveying his surroundings. The cave walls were intricately covered with runes, and an array had been set up within a hundred meters of the cave's center.

The reason Connor went to such lengths in this godforsaken place was because this location was one he had carefully chosen for his secluded breakthrough into an advanced wizard apprentice. Although he was in the safe house in Rune and seemed quite safe for the time being, Rune had been rather turbulent lately, giving Connor an inexplicable sense of undercurrents. In addition, Connor had run out of magic stones and needed to refine another batch from the magic stone mines in Tunguska to provide energy for the breakthrough array. So, after much deliberation, Connor decided to make Tunguska his breakthrough location this time.

Although the church in Tunguska was very weak, Connor, just in case, did not choose the more convenient city of Tunguska, but instead chose the desolate mountains.

Having confirmed that the formations inside and outside the cave were flawless, Connor nodded slightly and cast a spell on each of the four sides of the cave walls. The formations Connor had set up inside the cave immediately began to function. Under the effect of the formations, the five hundred magic stones Connor had placed inside the cave gradually released the purest energy particles. At the same time, the concealment formations Connor had set up around the cave completely covered up everything that was happening inside the cave and sealed all the energy particles inside the cave.

Feeling the dense energy particles in the cave that were almost condensing into mist, Connor squinted and sighed inwardly at his extravagance. Five hundred magic stones were gone in an instant. If he hadn't found a magic stone mine, he wouldn't have dared to even think about such an extravagant way to aid his breakthrough!

Feeling the coolness of the silk beneath him, Connor closed his eyes again and began meditating in his mind's eye. He practiced the advanced meditation technique "Abyss Secret Art." In the battle to kill Epstein, in addition to confirming his suspicions and learning a lot about the Skull and Bones Society, he also gained a lot of benefits from the spatial rings of Epstein and the Skull and Bones Society's demonized knight.

This includes the silk he is currently standing on. As an alchemist, when Connor first saw this silk in Epstein's spatial ring, he realized that this silk was different from others. This silk was actually an extremely rare enchanted item in the wizarding world that could assist wizards in their cultivation!

Connor didn't understand the material and manufacturing process of this silk, but that didn't stop him from discovering its effects through actual testing. Sitting on this silk to cultivate could reduce distractions and keep the mind and body in a clear and calm state. This allowed wizards to enter a deep meditation environment better and faster, greatly improving cultivation efficiency. However, what Connor valued most was the silk's ability to help him break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice.

As a rare and exceptional psychic wizard in the wizarding world, Connor has experienced many of the advantages of being a psychic wizard, such as keen intuition, powerful mental strength, and the ability to catch enemies off guard when fighting against those who have never fought a psychic wizard before. However, as the saying goes, "every advantage has its disadvantage." With mental strength far exceeding that of others of the same level and keen intuition, psychic wizards are more likely to sense mysterious and unknown beings whispering in their ears during their daily training than other wizards. Normally, this is manageable, and Connor can overcome these difficulties with his unwavering willpower and the methods recorded in the Abyss Arcane Arts!

However, breaking through to a higher cultivation level is a different story. Having experienced the breakthrough to become an intermediate wizard apprentice, Connor knows very well how deadly the mysterious whispers that appear in the ears of a mental wizard at the critical moment of breakthrough are. They are completely different from the mysterious whispers that appear in the ears during daily cultivation.

The enchanted silk artifact found in Epstein's spatial ring possesses the ability to greatly enhance Connor's resistance to the mysterious whispers that appear in his ears during breakthroughs.

Connor took out the secret energy potion that Varga had specially concocted for him from his spatial ring and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the potion, Connor did not dare to stop for a moment and immediately sat down cross-legged to meditate and cultivate according to the method of the Abyss Secret Technique, a high-level meditation method he had been practicing.

Ten seconds after Connor ingested the potion, it began to work within his body. Connor felt his entire body brimming with energy, and the mysterious murmurs he had heard during his daily cultivation became even clearer in his mind.

Although Connor had learned from his previous breakthrough to the intermediate wizard apprentice level and was already paying close attention to the mysterious incantations that appeared when breaking through cultivation bottlenecks, the arrival of these incantations this time still caused a brief period of hallucination in Connor's mind...
