Chapter 39

Luo En could feel that the spell model had become exceptionally stable in his mental space.

That water-drop-shaped energy structure no longer flickered like before but maintained a constant form, and the energy flow within it became more regular and coordinated.

When he opened his eyes, a slime flickering with a faint light had already condensed at his fingertips, shooting accurately at the target stone without any extra control.

The moment the slime hit the stone, it solidified rapidly, firmly fixing the stone to the ground, unable to move a single bit.

This solidification speed and adhesion were far beyond any version he had cast before.

[Slime Splash Experience +3]

[Current Progress: Slime Splash (Novice 49/50)]

"Just a little bit more..." Luo En whispered to himself, secretly calculating how much more practice was needed to reach the proficient level: "One more time."

This time, he decided to try further innovation.

Since the vibration frequency of mental power can affect the spell effect, can this vibration be combined with the rhythm of the breathing technique?

Luo En adjusted his breathing, letting the fluctuations of his mental power gradually coincide with the rhythm of the breathing technique.

This was a brand-new attempt, combining two techniques that seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

With the rhythm of breathing, the vibration frequency of mental power also changed accordingly.

It was a bit chaotic at first, but soon found a harmonious resonance state.

Surprisingly, the combination effect was exceptionally significant.

The mental power seemed to be endowed with life, flowing spontaneously along the most ideal path, forming a spell model much more stable than before.

When the spell was cast again, the amount of slime increased significantly, and the solidification speed was much faster.

The target stone was not only fixed, but a small area of the ground around it was also firmly stuck, forming a small slime trap area.

[Slime Splash Experience +1]

[Breakthrough! Slime Splash (Novice 50/50) -> Slime Splash (Proficient max)]

[Additional trait acquired: Sticky Toughness (slime solidification speed increased; adhesion increased)]

With this breakthrough, Luo En felt that the essence of the spell had changed.

What was originally just a simple slime shot had now evolved into a more powerful control means.

The slime was not only more numerous but also tougher in texture; once solidified, it was almost impossible to destroy with brute force at the same level.

The only pity was that the limit of this zero-ring spell could only go so far; perhaps after advancing to a formal wizard in the future, there would be an opportunity to combine it with other spells to expand into higher potential.

More importantly, at this very moment, he had met all the job transfer conditions for [Wizard Apprentice]!

[Mental power reaches 2.0 √]

[Basic meditation technique reaches proficient √]

[Master a spell at a proficient level √]

[Whether to immediately transfer to — Wizard Apprentice?]

Luo En did not hesitate at all: "Confirm job transfer."

A powerful energy surged from deep within his body, sweeping through his whole body like a burst dam.

This feeling was far more intense than the previous two job transfers; the air in the whole room seemed to solidify because of it, and the shadows cast by the moonlight outside the window on the wall also became distorted.

Luo En could clearly feel that his connection with the surrounding world was undergoing some subtle changes.

The magic power that could only be passively perceived before could now be actively controlled to a limited extent.

That feeling was like changing from an audience member who could only watch the world to an actual participant who could directly participate in and influence the rules.

Every breath, every heartbeat, resonated with the surrounding magic power, forming an unprecedented harmonious state.

[Job transfer successful!]

[Obtained profession: Wizard Apprentice (One and a Half Stars)]

[Basic attribute improvement:

Spirit: 2.0 -> 2.4 (+0.4)

Physique: 1.4 -> 1.5 (+0.1)

Magic Power: 0.4 -> 0.7 (+0.3)]

[Unlocked profession skills:

1. Spell Construction (Novice)

2. Mental Interference (Novice)]

[Special bonuses:

1. Spell skill experience acquisition speed slightly increased

2. Mental power improvement speed slightly increased

3. Magic power capacity and recovery speed slightly increased]

Just from the data, the attribute improvement brought by transferring to [Wizard Apprentice] seems to be not as good as the previous [Knight Attendant] job transfer, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the absolute crushing of knights by apprentices in the outside world.

But the attributes on the panel are not just simple numerical stacking; at least the mental power from 2.0 -> 2.4 brings a more intuitive effect than when the attribute was below 2.

This change is not just a simple improvement in data, but a qualitative change in some kind of ability.

Luo En only felt that he at this time could undoubtedly perceive the flow of magic power around him more clearly, and could even try to guide them according to his will.

Those energy particles invisible to the naked eye in the room air were now clear and perceptible.

The weak magic power contained in some materials on the wall could also be precisely located by him.

[Profession linkage detected:

Wizard Apprentice + Knight Attendant + Potion Apprentice

Obtained additional linkage bonus:

Potion efficacy enhancement slightly increased -

Coordination between mental power and physique slightly increased]

Just the linkage effect of the three professions was far beyond Luo En's expectations; he could feel that the various energies in his body were reaching an unprecedented harmonious state.

The mental power accumulation bonus provided by the Potion Apprentice formed a perfect closed loop with the mental power improvement speed of the Wizard Apprentice, making his meditation efficiency greatly improved each time;

The physique strengthening of the Knight Attendant provided a more solid foundation for spellcasting, so that spell release would not be hindered by physical limitations.

Luo En stood up and moved his fingers.

"This is the bonus of transferring to [Wizard Apprentice]..."

Even with such a small movement, he could feel that the flow of energy in his body became smoother, and every subtle muscle movement brought corresponding energy ripples.

Speaking of which, the duty officer gave him a booklet before, and he hadn't had time to read it until now.

Thinking of this, he took out the thin booklet from his backpack. At a glance, it looked simple and inconspicuous, with dozens of thin pages, and there was no decoration on the cover except for the words "Must-Read for Primary Apprentices."

However, when Luo En opened the first page, he felt a weak magical fluctuation—this booklet was cast with a simple anti-counterfeiting spell to ensure that only true apprentices could read the content.

He sat on the edge of the bed and began to read seriously by the faint moonlight outside the window and the flickering magic stone lamp.

The first few pages were just some basic school regulations: no fighting in public areas, no unauthorized use of laboratory equipment, no entry or exit to certain specific areas without approval, etc. These were all common sense he already knew.

However, as the reading deepened, the content of the booklet gradually became fascinating.

The title "Item 4: Apprentice Promotion and Sequence Rules" immediately attracted his attention.

"...Any primary apprentice who can be promoted to an intermediate apprentice within three years after qualification certification will be automatically rated as 'high potential' and enter the candidate wizard sequence."

"These candidates, who are seen as having the potential to be promoted to formal wizards in the future, will receive additional resource tilting and special training opportunities..."
