Chapter 46

However, what really interested him was the chapter on formal wizard promotion. He quickly flipped to that part and began to read intently.

"The promotion of a formal wizard is essentially a qualitative change process of spirit and magic power."

The book wrote: "This process is called 'Opening the Door,' referring to opening the mental door to a higher level of power."

Luo En frowned and continued to read:

"The Opening the Door ceremony needs to meet strict conditions:

First, spiritual power must reach the critical value;

Second, must have finished studying the apprentice stage of a gemstone-level meditation method;

Third, at least independently complete an improved model of a spell;

Finally, complete the ceremony process under the guidance of a mentor."

"During the ceremony, the apprentice will drink a specially made 'Key Potion.' This potion will temporarily break the mental barrier, allowing the apprentice to face a higher level of power directly. If the apprentice's preparation is insufficient, the ceremony will fail at best, and at worst, the spirit will collapse, or even death."

As he read, a strange feeling surged into his heart, and something seemed to be changing on the panel.

He immediately turned his attention to his profession panel and was surprised to find that the advancement information of the Wizard Apprentice had been automatically updated:

【Wizard · Unknown Direction (Two and a Half Stars)】

【Advancement Conditions:

1. Spiritual power reaches 4.9

2. Any gemstone-level meditation method reaches proficient (determines advancement direction)

3. At least one spell reaches proficient (determines advancement direction)

4. Complete the 'Opening the Door' ceremony】

【Traits: Energy Circuit, Radiation Field, Super Magic Technique, Mental Blast (shared by different advancement directions)】

Perhaps as the exploration deepens, the panel will automatically display more hidden profession routes and advancement conditions.

But when Luo En clearly saw the advancement conditions of the wizard, he felt a burst of pressure.

4.9 spiritual power—it looks like only more than twice his current level, but he has already faintly felt that the later the value is, the harder it is to improve. Perhaps later, the improvement of 0.1 spiritual power will be a hundred times harder than the previous one...

There are also gemstone-level meditation methods and spells at the proficient level, all of which require a lot of time and resources.

He calculated in his heart: "If I want to continue to advance, the key is to collect the materials on Lady Ailan's list as soon as possible and obtain the gemstone-level meditation method in her hands."

Those restricted items listed on Lady Ailan's list obviously cannot be obtained through normal channels.

According to Andre, the black market is the most likely choice.

"'Sunset Tavern', 'Lizard Alley', 'Black Water Bay'..." Luo En silently recalled those underground trading places mentioned by Andre: "Let's try from the safest place first."

"Can't be too ambitious." He reminded himself: "The most important thing right now is to steadily improve strength, especially to find more potential profession advancement routes."

"There may be other more special profession advancement routes..."

He thought about possible combinations: "Wizard, Knight, Pharmacist, these three main lines have been determined, but if other extraordinary professions are added, what kind of chain reaction will occur?"

Skill-based extraordinary professions such as Enchanter, Alchemist;

Knowledge-based extraordinary professions such as Historian, Astrologer;

Even alien bloodlines with obvious superior-subordinate relationships in some games can be transformed into 【Professions】, such as Vampire, Demon, High-level Undead... Each has the possibility of producing wonderful linkage effects with his existing professions.

"Still need a lot of data collection and field trips." Luo En sighed: "Every step needs careful planning."

He listed his recent goal list in his heart:

First, collect the materials on Lady Ailan's list and obtain "The Star-Eater's Mutterings";

Second, use artificial star dew to assist meditation and master this gemstone-level meditation method as soon as possible;

Third, deeply understand the power distribution and rules within the school;

Fourth, explore more potential profession advancement routes...

Continuing to flip through, he found more descriptions of realms above formal wizards, and some brief descriptions of the world outside the Black Mist Jungle.

Luo En whispered to himself in his heart: "Although there are many formal wizards here, according to the introduction in the book, the Black Mist Jungle seems to only count as... a smaller-scale extraordinary gathering place?"

Just about to continue looking for more information, the librarian walked over and signaled that the library was about to close.

With a head full of new information, he left the library, his heart already starting to plan for the future path.

Just a formal wizard is powerful enough to be like a human god in the eyes of mortals. What kind of power do those higher-level existences, the so-called Great Wizards, Wizard Kings, and even the legendary Demon Gods, master?

Hollow out history, fold reality; tamper with laws, reflect madness... perhaps just like what is said in ancient classics?

And the Endless Sea outside this continent, the Elf Township, Dragon Tomb, Great Abyss... and even the alien world connected by the extraterrestrial star gate.

Do these places, which are like myths and legends in the mouths of apprentices, really exist?

And does he have a chance to go there and witness it with his own eyes?

After returning to his room and tidying up his personal hygiene, Luo En lay on the bed, letting his thoughts slowly settle.

Tomorrow is another new day, and every sunrise symbolizes new opportunities for him.

"Take it slow, but never stop... Heh, if you stop, you will become another pile of white bones here."

He warned himself softly, then slowly entered a dream.
