I must immediately confirm the situation inside the altar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Allen sneered, the rainbow glow around her growing more radiant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to confirm? A bunch of so-called ’elite’ filled with a sense of superiority by you are nothing but chickens and dogs when faced with true geniuses. This is the result of the Crystal Tower’s cultivation? Disappointing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen’s brow furrowed, his fingers trembling slightly, clearly suppressing anger:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allen, I know you have many grievances with the Crystal Tower, but now is not the time to pursue them. The situation inside the altar is out of control; we must take action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take action?\" Lady Allen scoffed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and I both know the rules of the Bloodline Altar—once inside, no mid-intervention is possible; we must wait for the results. This was set as ironclad when the altar was designed, even a Dark Sun Wizard cannot change it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze suddenly became sharp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you really worry about is not the safety of those apprentices, but that Ron, who has shown astonishing talent, am I right? You’re afraid that he might achieve an unexpected advancement inside the altar and pose a threat to the interests of the Crystal Tower upon his return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen was silent for a moment before ultimately admitting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ron is indeed a variable. According to Hayek’s description, his potential far surpasses that of ordinary geniuses. Such a talent ought to receive the best cultivation and guidance. And the Crystal Tower happens to provide these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivation? Guidance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Allen’s voice was filled with sarcasm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t use those dignified words to cover the truth. What the Crystal Tower wants is to completely bind him with a Soul Contract, turning him into a tool and puppet for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen didn’t respond immediately but looked deeply at Allen, his eyes full of complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the spatial passage of the Bloodline Altar flickered, a dazzling light exploded on the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the light dissipated, Eliot appeared between the two, his face pale, clothes torn, but fortunately unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following closely, several more lights flashed, and a few Crystal Tower apprentices appeared one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These apprentices were in much worse condition than Eliot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were covered in black spots, others’ skin was dissolving, and some had black liquid flowing from their eyes, having completely lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Valen!\" Eliot saw Valen, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliot!\" Valen’s attention was immediately diverted, quickly stepping forward to kneel down and carefully examine the apprentices’ conditions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This level of contamination... has already exceeded the normal trials of the Bloodline Altar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed his palm on the forehead of an apprentice, closing his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Power seeped like fine threads into the apprentice’s deep consciousness, attempting to sense the source and degree of contamination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t look good.\" Valen’s voice grew serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This contamination has penetrated the soul level, conventional Purification methods are likely to have limited Effect. They must be immediately sent back to the Crystal Tower for professional treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Allen also stepped closer, the mockery on her face diminished slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crouched down, her fingers lightly touching an apprentice’s pulse, feeling the faint life waves within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A hybrid of Erosion and Spiritual Contamination.\" She quickly concluded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This damage originates from the Ravings in the depths of the Starry Sky, but it also incorporates Abyssal Corrosion properties. A very rare combination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen looked up at Eliot: \"Describe what happened inside the altar in detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliot took a deep breath, trying to concisely yet comprehensively describe the ordeals inside the Bloodline Altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From encountering their respective copies, to the overwhelming battle, to the scene of the copy Ron killing the Awakeneds Oliver and Cynthia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible...\" Valen’s voice was filled with shock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can a copy have such powerful strength and clear self-awareness? This completely exceeds the design scope of the Bloodline Altar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Lady Allen: \"Allen, your student Ron... what exactly is his background?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Allen smiled faintly, her smile carrying a hint of mystery:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s just a gifted young man, nothing more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, there must be another reason.\" Valen’s gaze turned sharp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An ordinary genius could not produce such a copy. Unless...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly stopped, a flash of realization in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless he possesses a Special Talent or item that can influence the altar’s operational mechanism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliot, recalling his observations inside the altar, added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The copies seem to be able to absorb the power of other copies to strengthen themselves, like a... like a living Abyssal Material.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying...\" Valen’s face grew even more solemn: \"Ron may possess some Abyssal Item?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sure.\" Eliot answered honestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the behavior pattern of the copy is indeed very special. It not only can absorb the energy of other copies but also shows a clear self-awareness and the ability to judge, completely unlike ordinary copies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen did not continue to inquire but hastily constructed a Teleportation Gate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless, these apprentices’ conditions are critical and must be immediately sent to the Crystal Tower for treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Eliot: \"Rest here, I’ll return after handling this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliot nodded, weakly leaning against a stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen began to send the injured apprentices into the Teleportation Gate one by one, his movements swift and practiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression grew more solemn by the moment, clearly, these apprentices’ injuries were more serious than he initially expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This has already exceeded the acceptable range of losses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen whispered, with a hint of self-reproach in his voice: \"I must explain the failure of this mission to the School Alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Allen sneered once:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t the Crystal Tower always boasting about having the best apprentices? What, now afraid to account to those old fellows?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen’s gaze became sharp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allen, I know you have much dissatisfaction with the Crystal Tower, but now is not the time for your sarcasm, I must ensure the safety of the remaining apprentices in the altar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1130,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.888Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","5778516175ec7767fdb79c6b8e8f469222323fa2954f7b70c69397d77455e9b3","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-328","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-326",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg",{"terms":25,"userReplacements":26},[],{}]
