the isolation effect of this metal plate could only last about five minutes once activated, far from meeting practical application needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron opened the thick notebook on the table, densely packed with detailed data from previous experiments and reasons for failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every failure brought new insights, and every mistake paved the way for ultimate success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key to the isolation layer lies in the arrangement of runes, not the runes themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron muttered, his fingers sliding over the lines of small text in the notebook:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s like building a dam; the way the stones are placed is more important than the stones themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This research into the metal isolation layer originated from the information about Black Wizards he had read in the Library some time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient texts mentioned that during the Awakening Process, Black Wizards were gradually eroded by polluted Energy, leading to personality distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ron noticed a detail:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few Black Wizards could remain rational for quite a long time, even growing continuously stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They often wore some special amulets or equipment or used other unique methods to create a \"buffer zone,\" slowing the direct impact of pollution on the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a perfect isolation layer could be created...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron pondered, a cautious light flickering in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theoretically, it should be possible to completely separate two Energy Fields, allowing no interference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea sparked his interest in researching the isolation layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pursuing power requires constant calmness and rational thinking; Ron never considered stepping directly onto the path of a Black Wizard, which represented irreversible distortion and madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Power only has value when it is under Rational Control.\" This was a creed etched in the Library of Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron checked the parameters of the Ψ-23 metal plate once more, then carefully placed it into a specially-crafted wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took down another notebook from the shelf, bearing the words \"Soul Steel Data.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the past week’s full School lockdown, aside from various daily practices, he had been working on two research lines in parallel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, the energy isolation layer experiments; on the other, the preliminary analysis of that precious piece of Soul Steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two studies seemed unconnected, but in Ron’s plan, they would perfectly merge at some point in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The analysis of Soul Steel’s Traits was exceptionally complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mysterious metal had extremely high plasticity and Magic Conductivity, yet it was also highly selective, seeming to \"perceive\" the intent and capability of the handler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron had already spent dozens of hours attempting to establish preliminary \"communication\" with this metal, allowing it to gradually adapt to the characteristics of his Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the principles of the isolation layer could be successfully applied to Soul Steel...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently caressed the rare metal, glowing with a silvery-gray sheen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it could create a whole new type of Alchemy Item, with unprecedented Traits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t fully determined what kind of tool it would be specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was not someone who acted solely on intuition; every step had to be based on thorough research and rigorous experimentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes, letting his tired brain rest for a moment, but his thoughts drifted involuntarily to those records he had seen in the Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The Awakening process is essentially a process of fusion with polluted Energy. As the Awakening Level increases, they gain stronger Erosion abilities, but at the cost of their sanity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron recalled those textual descriptions while contemplating a question that seemed almost heretical to a normal Wizard:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it possible to acquire the power of a Black Wizard while completely avoiding its negative impacts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, if the Awakening process could be confined within some external container instead of one’s own soul, it might avoid direct personality Erosion.\u003C\u002Fp>",908,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.887Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f23f58360074b2f392bf0ced29e864be2ff0f679d5495ec0a5cbac61618c36b","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-200","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-198",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg"]
