Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 61 Promotion

Judging from Larry's expression, Herag seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.

If war were to break out, even formal wizards would not be able to avoid being drawn in.

"Me?" Larry laughed. "I'm a support staff member. If it really comes down to a fight, my potion-making knowledge is far more useful than my combat skills. If it really comes to the point where even I have to step in, then it means I can start preparing to run away."

"Don't formal wizards also have to sign an agreement with Moonglade?" Herag felt that Larry didn't seem to be bound by any rules.

"That's the advantage of being a Potions Master! My contract with Moonglade is different from others. Strictly speaking, we're just in an employment relationship, so I don't have that much of a constraint on myself," Larry explained.

Herag suddenly realized, "I see."

This is the advantage of having a skill; it seems that experts are sought after everywhere.

"Next, I'll tell you about some things to pay attention to during the promotion process," Larry continued.

"There's an old saying in the wizarding world: no two advancement processes are exactly alike. This means that every wizard may encounter various situations during their advancement, and you need to use your knowledge to adapt and handle each situation accordingly."

"Of course, you've only advanced to a second-tier wizard apprentice, so you shouldn't encounter many difficulties. Just remember, a wizard's most powerful weapon is always knowledge; knowledge can solve most of your problems..."

……

After returning home, Herag spent two days digesting the experience Larry had taught him, and then took out the Dawn Potion.

"Deep Blue, begin full-scale monitoring of your physical condition. Report any issues that arise during the promotion process immediately."

"The task has been created."

A 3D human model appeared before Hrag, showing his current physical condition. Next to the model were numerous body parameters representing his current physical state.

Herag pulled the cork from the Dawn Potion, and a cloud of purple mist emerged and spread out.

He tilted his head back and drank the pale purple solution of the Dawn Potion in one gulp. It tasted very bitter and had a stinging sensation.

After the Dawn Potion entered his body, it transformed into an energy that spread throughout his entire body.

"Heart rate is increasing, current heart rate: 157."

"A toxic substance has entered the body, causing damage. The current damage level is 3%. Should we stop the progression and expel the toxic substance?"

"Don't stop, keep going."

……

Herag closed his eyes; he knew this was the effect of the potion and he absolutely couldn't stop it.

A layer of purple flames rose from his body, but the flames had no temperature and could not even ignite his clothes.

Current heart rate: 267.

"Damage level to the body: 10%!"

"The genetic chain is breaking..."

Hrag's physical condition was in terrible shape, but he remained calm and composed.

"The gene chain is recombinating..."

"Hrag, look what this is?" A woman's voice came from behind, but Hrag ignored it as if he hadn't heard it.

He ignored it, but the sound didn't stop; instead, it became more numerous and varied.

"Odd changes, even remains the same; sign depends on quadrant..."

"Wake up! Roll call!"

……

Herag's powerful mental strength kept him clear-headed, allowing him to focus solely on the advancement process.

boom!

After an unknown amount of time, Herag suddenly felt as if his head was about to explode.

"These are wind-type energy particles, the red ones should be fire-type energy particles, and the black ones... are they dark energy particles?"

Herag could only sense the presence of free energy particles in the surrounding space, but could not distinguish their specific properties.

But now, he can clearly perceive the attribute of each energy particle.

"So, which type of energy particle is suitable for me?"

After a first-class wizard apprentice is promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice, they will sense one or more energy particles that are suitable for them.

Wizard apprentices can absorb these energy particles into their bodies, and these energy particles will continuously radiate into the body, enhancing physical fitness.

As the radiation increases, Horag's physical strength also increases, making him radioactive himself. The radiation during the wizard apprentice stage will not have a significant impact on ordinary people, but it will make it difficult for him to have offspring with ordinary people.

At the same time, when wizard apprentices use spells of the same element, their casting speed and spell power will be greatly improved.

It's not that you can't learn other spells, but that your spells can be stronger in this particular school.

After taking a deep breath, Herag began to meditate, opening his arms to absorb the energy particles around his body.

Unlike his previous meditation, he wouldn't absorb all these energy particles indiscriminately. Instead, he would draw them to the surface of his body. Energy particles that were compatible with him would automatically enter his body, while those that were not would float on the surface.

"It's actually dark energy particles..."

Herag discovered that he only had one affinity for dark energy particles.

This is a high-energy particle, which is further divided into many subtypes of energy particles, such as negative energy particles, shadow energy particles, etc. These all belong to dark energy particles.

"It seems I'll need to specialize in dark energy magic from now on."

Wizard apprentices can achieve twice the results with half the effort by cultivating their affinity attributes, so many people choose to specialize in their affinity, especially after reaching the third-level wizard apprentice level, when they need to prepare for their advancement to a full wizard, at which point specialization becomes even more necessary.

The Locke that Herag had encountered before was like that; he seemed to specialize in earth elemental magic, and the spells he used were mostly earth elemental.

Current heart rate: 97.

"The body is slowly repairing..."

Herag felt his physical condition gradually stabilize.

"Deep Blue, check your current physical status."

"Hrag Merlin: Strength 3.0, Agility 3.1, Constitution 4.8, Spirit 11.0, Magic Power 40%."

Herag nodded: "I've successfully advanced. Just as Professor Larry said, with my current mental strength, advancing to a second-class wizard apprentice shouldn't be a problem."

"Dark Energy Shield!" He slapped a shield on himself, wanting to see the effect of the advancement.

"Deep Blue, how much stronger is the Dark Energy Shield now compared to before?"

"Calculations show that, since the magic power used in this spell is mostly composed of dark energy particles, the shield's strength has increased by 63%, and magic power consumption has decreased by 39%."

Herag pondered, "No wonder second-class wizard apprentices are starting to choose a specialization in their training; the intensity increase is too great. Putting in 100% effort yields a return of 150%.

He wasn't overly joyful after his promotion, but instead sat down cross-legged and honestly completed his meditation.

There are six stars in my mind, and I still need to complete four more stars of meditation to advance to the third-class wizard apprentice level.

Herag searched the starry sky for a while, selected a star, and began to meditate.

"Without the aid of meteorite grass, meditation speed is much slower."

Herag had been using meteorite grass to help him during this period, and it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He was a little unaccustomed to the slow meditation speed.

Meteorite grass is useless to him at this stage; he can only think of other ways to speed up his meditation later.
