Chapter 221

After dealing with this matter, Jie Ming finally truly relaxed.

He leaned on the comfortable chair and began to flip through the magic net terminal in the laboratory, checking the various information accumulated over the past fifty years.

Before, he only roughly flipped through the monitoring records related to spatial stability. Now, after calming down, Jie Ming found that there were extra things he needed to deal with.

Just like the message list of the terminal, besides the information sent by David about material handover and some research progress, as well as various transaction records of the junction point over the past fifty years.

The most conspicuous ones were mainly messages from his two friends—Amy and Victor.

The messages of the two were much the same, each left two.

The time of the first message was about forty years ago.

In terms of content, they indicated that they had completed the previous round of military service and originally planned to come to see Jie Ming, and by the way, exchange their respective gains.

But unfortunately, because Jie Ming was still in the distant Flame-Frost Plane at that time, busy with the heavy work of post-war statistics, he couldn't get away at all.

Therefore, they could only helplessly leave a message, letting Jie Ming go find them to gather after he returned.

And the other message was four or five years after the first one.

After waiting for a few years, the two found that Jie Ming still had no signs of returning, so they left a message again saying that they had decided to start a new round of military service missions again.

Victor's message was a bit more euphemistic.

He just told Jie Ming that after they completed this new round of military service, they would basically be able to completely finish the long military service contract signed with the academy when they enrolled.

By then, they would be able to obtain true freedom and could freely choose their future path.

And Amy's message was much more direct.

She used an unquestionable tone, carrying a hint of expectation, telling Jie Ming that he must "wait for them."

After they returned from this military service, the three of them would go together as free wizards to the broader plane battlefield for real adventures.

Jie Ming looked at the messages of the two, especially the confidence revealed between Amy's lines, and couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.

Judging from the tone of the messages, these two people seemed to have had considerable gains in these decades of military service.

It is conceivable that their strength and vision had been greatly improved, and they felt that they could catch up with, or even surpass, himself.

Although Jie Ming was also confident.

After all, he had experienced such adventures as a living plane in these fifty years and studied and learned a lot of knowledge.

His own progress probably far exceeded their imagination, and he didn't think he was so easy to be caught up with.

However, seeing his friends being able to cheer up again and find the direction to move forward again on this cruel path of wizards was also a happy thing worth rejoicing for him.

He simply replied with a message to the two, informing them that he had returned and wishing them a smooth military service.

After replying to some other messages that needed to be replied to, Jie Ming also carefully checked and maintained the defense system of the Golden Garden, the energy cycle of the underground laboratory, the arrangement of personnel in the territory, and even the Purgatory Sulfur Plane allocated to him, and finally, Jie Ming finally dealt with all the external trivial matters.

Ten days later, Jie Ming returned to the laboratory again.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind completely, and officially began to prepare for the process of advancing to a Tier 2 Wizard.

Among the three core conditions required for the promotion of a Tier 2 Wizard, after fifty years of meditation and accumulation in the Flame-Frost Plane, Jie Ming's spiritual power had long since completely filled the "Ring of Truth," reaching the hardware standard for promotion.

And the more massive and complex knowledge system needed to reconstruct the "Ring of Truth," he had also completed the knowledge reserve through the massive information he had come into contact with over the past fifty years, as well as learning and research in his spare time, and was ready.

Now, only the last step remained, which was also the most critical step—to make his soul and body reach a state of "extreme activity."

This requirement is essentially to lay a foundation for the Tier 2 Wizard to be promoted to a Tier 3 Wizard in the future.

Because only extremely activated souls and bodies can more clearly perceive the changes in the "rules" that are everywhere in the plane.

Thereby preparing for choosing and studying rules in the future.

Of course, at the practical level, extremely activated bodies and souls can also allow wizards to better perceive and have affinity with the surrounding elemental power.

Thereby making the "threshold" for wizards to manipulate elemental power drop significantly again, making spellcasting faster and consuming less.

At the same time, if the system chosen by the wizard is relatively suitable, they can even achieve a state where their body briefly enters an "elementalized" state during the battle.

However, according to the communication between Jie Ming and Mentor Clark and Senior Sister Viola, they do not recommend relying too much on this "elementalization" means during battle.

According to the two, the so-called "body elementalization," although it seems to be able to immunize against most physical damage.

But in fact, if you encounter a physical attack with a large enough equivalent or attached with special rules, it will still be easily broken.

Moreover, when facing elemental attacks of the same source or mutual restraint, the elementalized body will become even more fragile and receive doubled damage.

This ability can only be used to bully the weak at most.

When facing opponents of the same level, using it rashly is simply looking for death.

It is a pity that wizards spend most of their time fighting against enemies of the same level or higher during the plane war.

Therefore, Jie Ming didn't pay too much attention to this so-called "battle advantage" later.

What he really valued was the huge help of "extreme activation" to perceiving rules.

However, with the existing technology of wizard civilization, most means cannot maintain the "extreme activation" of the body and soul at a normal state level.

The cost of the few technologies that can maintain a normal state is also outrageously high, requiring the consumption of massive rare resources or undergoing extremely dangerous bloodline transformation.

Even with Jie Ming's family background, after reading the data, he felt that he couldn't afford it at all.

Therefore, mainstream wizards thought of a clever but effective method—first, before promotion, through high-intensity "transformation surgery," or taking special "potions," etc., make their body and soul enter a temporary, unstable "activated" state.

Then, immediately perform the promotion ceremony.

With the help of the "life sublimation" phenomenon produced by the leap in life level during promotion, permanently and stably fix this temporary state!
