Sixth Ring Wizard

Every time Herag tempered the gel-like Spiritual Power, the shape of the gel-like Spiritual Power would undergo subtle changes.

He now seemed like he was using a sledgehammer, constantly hammering the gel-like Spiritual Power.

For a year, Herag had lost count of how many times he had tempered it, it could be described as a thousand times tempered.

Herag's heart was calm as still water, repeating the tempering actions over and over again, neither hurried nor impatient.

This time was as usual, still repeating the tempering over and over.

But this time, some changes occurred.

After Herag tempered it once, a cold sensation emerged from the Bloodline Mark to his mind, and there was a mutation in the gel-like Spiritual Power.

The gel-like Spiritual Power suddenly began to transform on its own, its surface was continuously pulsating, with some places rippling like the surface of water.

The gel-like Spiritual Power, originally formless, slowly began to develop edges, gradually displaying some structured shapes.

In this process, every transformation of the gel-like Spiritual Power was accompanied by the energy from the Divine Core in the Bloodline Mark, tempering the gel-like Spiritual Power once.

Herag observed the changes in the gel-like Spiritual Power, refraining from acting rashly, allowing it to continue transforming.

This process seemed very long, but in reality, it did not take much time, it was just that in Herag's perception, the process of change seemed extremely prolonged.

Half an hour later, the original gel-like Spiritual Power had completely transformed into a rhomboid crystal.

At the moment the Spiritual Crystal formed, Herag slowly opened his eyes, a beam of brilliance flickering in them.

He observed the Spiritual Crystal in his mind, feeling that this crystal was incredibly solid, a product of highly concentrated Spiritual Power.

From now on, both his meditation speed and casting speed would significantly increase.

Compared to before, Herag now was equivalent to having a particularly powerful engine replaced.

"Shenlan, check my current physical data."

"Herag Merlin: Power 31.6, Agility 31.6, Constitution 33.2, Spirit 75, Magic Power 30%."

The enhancements in power, agility, and constitution were not much, but the increase in Spiritual Power by ten points was quite significant.

However, after advancing to Crystalization Wizard, the increase in Spiritual Power was not the most important; the most critical aspect was enhancing Herag's growth limit.

Herag's Magic Power showed only 30%, not because he used up 70% by tempering the Spiritual Power, as tempering did not consume this much Magic Power.

The 30% display was because Herag's Magic Power container had expanded, but the amount of Magic Power had not changed much, so the percentage became smaller.

Upon advancing to a Crystalization Wizard, he could continue to increase his Spiritual Power through meditation.

At the crystalization stage, theoretically, the growth of Spiritual Power was unlimited.

But in reality, the growth of Spiritual Power became increasingly difficult as it progressed.

Once Spiritual Power reached a certain level, it would enter a phase of extremely slow growth, possibly taking hundreds of years to increase by just one point.

This phase was also known as the bottleneck period of the Crystalization Wizard, during which one might as well give up continuing the growth of Spiritual Power.

Because at this time, attempting to increase Spiritual Power further was very cost-ineffective.

At this moment, it was more sensible to seek the opportunity to advance to a Level 2 Wizard.

Once advanced to a Level 2 Wizard, not only would the bottleneck automatically disappear, but the strength would also greatly improve, it could even be stated that the life tier would have risen.

After feeling the changes brought by advancing to a Crystalization Wizard, Herag then closed his eyes to begin meditation, recovering Magic Power while planning subsequent actions.

Within his body, the Magic Power recovered rapidly, and now the total amount of Magic Power was several times that of before, not to mention he still had two backup Magical Sources, so generally, there would be no shortage of Magic Power.

Herag would continue to meditate subsequently, aiming to reach the bottleneck phase of the Crystalization Wizard as soon as possible.

Next, the more important task was accumulating Contribution Points to exchange for items containing Power of Rules.

Such items were generally referred to as the Key of Rules by Wizards in the Land of Dawn, helping Crystalization Wizards to unlock the door to Rule Power.

Meanwhile, Herag needed to prepare a Second-level Spell, and the Power of Rules required by this spell must match that of the Key of Rules to successfully construct the Spell Model of the Second-level Spell.

The Spiritual Crystal in the mind of a Crystalization Wizard serves as the carrier for the Second-level Spell during the advancement to a Level 2 Wizard.

To advance to a Level 2 Wizard, the constructed Second-level Spell Model must be placed inside the Spiritual Crystal, unlike the previous Level 1 and Level 0 Spell Models that were directly placed in the mind.

Because at that time, the Crystalization Wizard had not yet advanced to Level 2, and the body did not have the capacity to control Rule Power.

If the Second-level Spell's Spell Model were directly placed in the mind, the only end would be the mind exploding due to the inability to withstand Rule Power.

But the Spiritual Crystal in the mind of a Crystalization Wizard is extremely solid, possessing an incredibly stable structure capable of carrying the Spell Model of the Second-level Spell.

Once the Spell Model of a Second-level Spell has been successfully constructed in the Spiritual Crystal, it opens the door of the body to Rule Power, completing the process of advancing to a Level 2 Wizard.

Upon advancing to a Level 2 Wizard, naturally, one could place the Spell Model of the Second-level Spell in the mind.

At that time, Wizards would have truly elevated to another tier of life, capable of perceiving and using some Rule Power, no longer ordinary people unable to perceive the existence of Rule Power.

To Wizards, whether they could use Rule Power was a qualitative transformation point.

Herag had a profound understanding of this; at the time, trapped by a Second-level Wizard's magic, the Eye of the Storm, he was utterly incapable of escaping.

Even if he could inflict a little damage to the cage with the World Tree Bow, relying on the World Tree Bow to completely destroy the cage was virtually impossible.

Because the opponent would not just watch him slowly destroy the cage; if the Incinerator had not suddenly appeared, he would have already died.

Rule Power is the watershed between a Level 1 Wizard and a Level 2 Wizard, with a world of difference in strength, entirely different tiers.

Next, what Herag needed to consider was first finding a suitable Second-level Spell, then finding the corresponding Key of Rules for it.

The Second-level Spell and the Key of Rules must match; you can't choose a Second-level Spell for the Earth Element and use a Key of Rules for the Fire Element, as that would be entirely useless.

This was relatively manageable in the Land of Dawn, with Herag backed by the Wizard Organization, Serlandir, there was always a chance to find a matched set of these two items.

But if it were in the Barren Land, this step would be as difficult as reaching the sky, potentially leading all Crystalization Wizards to despair.

Because in the Barren Land, even if Crystalization Wizards could acquire a Second-level Spell, finding a Key of Rules perfectly matching it would be exceedingly difficult.
