Chapter 292 Resources and Situation, Breakthrough to Five Crystals, Changes, Core Assessment Begins!
"Negotiate with the college?"
Inside the room, Ian's eyes lit up; he immediately thought it was a great idea.
Unlike ordinary wizards, he did not have the kind of hoarding mentality when it came to knowledge.
He also doesn't mind passing on his skills to the academy.
As long as the college offers a reasonable price.
"Then how do we negotiate?"
Ian looked up and asked.
Kieran looked at him and said, "I'll handle the negotiations. Let me get you some things you might need."
"Thank you, teacher."
Ian's eyes lit up.
If Kieran were to step in, the effect would be completely different if he or I were to do so.
"Come back here tomorrow, and we'll have formal negotiations."
Kilan Road.
"Okay, teacher."
Ian nodded.
In the blink of an eye.
the next day.
Ian came again and was led into the room by a servant, only to find that there was now another person in the room.
"Lord Simon."
Ian looked surprised and immediately bowed.
He never expected that the academy wizard who was to negotiate with them would be Simon.
"Ian!"
Simon also turned to look at Ian, a different emotion flickering in his eyes.
He hadn't expected that.
Only two years have passed, and Ian's elemental resonance level has exceeded 70% in all aspects, allowing him to obtain the inheritance.
"grown ups."
As Ian spoke, he came to stand behind Kieran; he wasn't qualified to sit down in this situation.
Simon also looked at the master and apprentice opposite him.
He joked, "But you two, master and disciple, actually want to take advantage of the academy?"
"Dean, you're exaggerating. The Five Crystals Inheritance Meditation Method—do you understand what that represents? Even at the Gray Tower Wizarding Academy, it's one of the most core inheritances," Kieran said.
That is indeed the case.
Simon didn't refute this time, saying, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come here. After all, the potential of a five-crystal second ring is far beyond what a first ring can compare to, and its advantage over a four-crystal is too great."
"Advantages?"
Ian, on the other hand, seemed a little confused as he listened.
Because this is information he doesn't know.
As if explaining to him, Kieran slowly said, "A second-ring wizard transforms into an elemental form and simultaneously condenses an extraordinary physique. Different physiques result in vastly different improvements for wizards, and the stronger the physique, the higher the requirements for the wizard. For example, the top-tier physiques basically require five crystals. So, Dean, you understand that my requirements are not excessive."
That's it!
Ian suddenly realized.
Moreover, judging from the situation, it seems that the two had already reached an agreement before he arrived.
Simon shook his head and said, "The academy can support Ian in learning meditation, sponsoring all resources and expenses, but I cannot agree to five sets of resources for advancing to the fifth crystal. You know very well that one set of resources for breaking through to the fifth crystal is equivalent to one-third of the resources for breaking through to the second ring, even for the academy..."
"So many?"
Ian was stunned; he hadn't expected so much!
Moreover, he hadn't expected that breaking through to the fifth crystal level would require such terrifying resources.
Although it's unclear what the resources for breaking through to the second ring are, even a third of them would be astonishing.
However, the teacher requested five copies.
That's really ruthless!
"But five crystals..." Kieran continued.
Simon waved his hand dismissively and said, "I don't want to waste any more time here. How about this, two portions, that's the most I can give you. The academy can't squeeze out any more for you, you know very well how scarce the academy's resources are right now."
"it is good."
Kieran nodded, understanding that this was the limit.
Then he turned to Ian and said, "Ian, could you go out for a moment? Dean Simon and I have something to discuss."
"Okay, teacher."
Ian nodded.
Clearly, the matter of succession was just a pretext; Kieran had other, more important things to discuss with Simon.
I just don't know what happened.
"It's probably war!"
Standing in the corridor, Ian pondered.
As time went by, the war between the two academies intensified, and the prices of various resources rose.
The number of wizards who die every day in the two academies is also quite large.
One part consists of elemental mysteries, while the other, much larger part comprises lower-level wizarding academies and schools forcibly recruited by the academy.
This is also the main form of war.
This war is by no means a battle between two separate forces, but rather a contest involving all of their subordinate forces.
It is said that several wizarding academies have already been destroyed.
"Luckily, I joined the Elemental Mystic Arts school instead of just choosing an ordinary academy."
Ian sighed.
But the pressure of this environment still made him feel an unprecedented sense of urgency.
"And the final battle is getting closer and closer, I must advance to the second ring before then."
Ian kept his head down.
Not only to gain advantages in the war, but also to protect themselves.
Only the Second Ring Road.
Only then can one compete in a war of that scale.
Self-preservation.
Besides, even the core members, when that time really comes, will only be slightly more powerful than ordinary wizards.
"Let's break through to the fifth crystal level first."
He has already achieved the Four Crystals Perfection for some time, and as long as he obtains the resources, he can immediately begin learning the Four Symbols Unification.
With his extensive experience, he could probably elevate it to a sufficient level within a few months.
Then it directly broke through to the fifth crystal.
"If we hurry, we might be able to break through before the next core assessment."
Ian pondered.
Suddenly, the door opened, and when Ian went in, only Kieran was left inside.
His expression was not good at this moment.
"teacher!"
Kieran turned his head and said, "You can collect the resources from the academy now. Simon and I talked a lot, and all I can tell you is that the war will escalate faster than you can imagine, so try to become stronger as soon as possible. Perhaps in a few years, even at the core level, it won't be so easy to cultivate in complete peace."
Ian's eyes widened instantly.
"Understood, teacher."
"And here, take this." Then Kieran tossed out a spatial ring, saying, "This also contains resources for breaking through to the fifth level."
"I thought you needed a lot of resources, but three portions should be enough."
"teacher."
Ian was immediately moved.
"Go ahead, I need to think about something."
He waved.
Ian was temporarily sent away.
soon.
College.
Resources Department.
"This is the Heart of the Four Symbols, this is the Original Core of the Four Symbols. You can only use it for cultivating meditation techniques. You must keep a record when using it. This copy is a resource specially approved by the Dean."
A white-haired wizard looked up at Ian and said.
"OK."
Ian nodded.
The wizard before them was named Bryce Shepard, one of the deputy ministers of the Department of Resources.
As for the Resources Department, it is the department under the college's jurisdiction that coordinates resources, and it has considerable power.
Normally, even if he is a core member, it shouldn't be the deputy minister who comes to exchange resources, since he is a second-level member.
But because he had the dean's warrant.
Bryce was also looking at Ian, his expression slightly displeased.
Such as the Heart of the Four Symbols and the even more precious Primal Core of the Four Symbols.
Even the resource department is severely lacking, with many second-ring wizards in the queue.
"But with so much, it should be enough for a year, right?"
He watched calmly as the Four Symbols Heart gave him ten units this time, while the latter gave him one unit.
Practice meditation and witchcraft.
Hopefully, these will be enough.
"Thank you, sir."
Ian took the resources and checked that there were no problems.
Then he went to the main campus library.
At this point, his Four-Layer Four-Element Resonance Method had already reached the master level, and naturally, it needed to be improved.
This time it went relatively smoothly as well.
Ian found the knowledge he needed to fill: two top-tier first-level knowledge items and one advanced first-level knowledge item.
The required resources are all adequate.
After leaving.
Ian then returned to the Wizard Tower.
Take out the Four Symbols Original Core.
It resembles a four-colored crystal gemstone, shimmering with flowing colors.
Ian held it, trying to imprint the sorcery of the Four Symbols Returning to One in his mind.
The crystal shrank little by little.
One day later.
"The Four Symbols have been unified into one, and the basics have been mastered."
Ian opened his eyes and saw a gray magic power appear in his hand.
"The power of the four elements."
He took a deep breath, and in the next second, the gray magic instantly ignited into flames, as if it were of fire attribute.
then.
Several more strands of magic.
They can all smoothly perform various types of witchcraft without needing to switch between them.
"The only drawback is that once it's converted, it can't be converted again."
Ian tried to convert fire magic into wind magic, but failed immediately.
Even so.
For Ian, the emergence of this witchcraft also marked a new stage in his life.
Combat effectiveness has surged.
Of course, the premise is that he must first solidify this skill before he can truly achieve unlimited use.
"Let's begin then."
With his eyes closed, Ian began to study the witchcraft once more, his proficiency rapidly increasing from the experience he had gained earlier.
In the blink of an eye.
Two months have passed.
"Proficient level."
Ian looked at the panel and saw that he had already reached the mastery level of the Four Symbols Unity. At this point, all the experience had been digested.
Of course, that's not all.
In the past two months, because he digested the Four Giants last time, Ian's various elemental-related abilities have improved.
Meanwhile, the advanced supplementary knowledge I had previously redeemed has been upgraded to master level.
It was made up once.
This also strengthened Ian's mental power compared to before, and his domain and other aspects also improved slightly.
"But we'll continue with the supplementary work later."
Ian took a deep breath.
In the past two months, he has thoroughly understood all the knowledge about breaking through from four crystals to five crystals and is fully prepared.
It's time for a breakthrough!
the next day.
He arrived at the elemental pool he had booked in advance.
Enter it.
Several days later.
With a powerful surge of spiritual energy radiating in all directions, Ian broke through to the fifth level.
"Five crystals!"
He squinted.
Feel the spiritual energy space.
Five spiritual energy crystals were arranged neatly, resembling a pentagram, exuding a mysterious aura.
"This advancement has brought about tremendous changes."
He took a deep breath.
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy at this moment, it was at least 30% greater than before the breakthrough.
Moreover, the quality has improved by at least 30%.
The combination of these two factors brings about tremendous changes to Ian, allowing him to cast instant magic with even greater impunity.
"And this too."
Ian squinted, releasing his mental energy, which should normally form a mental energy field.
But at this moment, it resembles a small domain.
"The mental energy field has become a mental energy domain."
Ian sighed.
This mental energy field is an upgraded version of the previous force field, with stronger suppression.
The difference is that this layer of domain requires almost no mental energy and can be used as a normal state. At the same time, it can be actively sensed, even actively defended, and used to interfere with the enemy.
"With this, it will be much more difficult for ordinary wizards to launch a sneak attack. It also makes up for my lack of mental defense methods."
Ian sighed.
"And the most important areas."
A faint gray field spread out around Ian, only a few dozen meters wide, but he could expand it to several kilometers at any time if he wanted.
He raised his hand, and the gray-white power of the Four Symbols condensed into a ball in his palm.
It changes into various elements.
"With all elements integrated, it becomes more flexible and makes the fusion of magic almost seamless."
Ian sighed.
This is the most powerful aspect of the Four Elements Unification and the New Realm, especially for multi-element wizards.
This can only be described as the true realm of the Four Symbols.
What was previously called the pseudo-four-element domain could at most be called the pseudo-four-element domain.
Of course, it's not just about changes in appearance; the domain also provides greater enhancements to witchcraft and wizards.
It has reached at least half.
If he were to fight the same Crimson Eyes half-elemental wizard again, even without the Four Elements Cycle, he could easily kill him using his domain and sorcery.
His combat power could be said to have fully entered the semi-elemental stage at this point.
Whoohoo!
He took a deep breath.
We left this place.
"My lord, you've come out."
Abu said respectfully, the wizard who had mocked Ian when he first entered the academy now barely daring to raise his head.
Ian nodded.
Then he turned and left the wizard tower. On the way, he checked his messages, and one message surprised him.
From Flynn.
"Has Leng Bai broken through to the semi-elemental stage? And the various academies are starting to place more emphasis on the assessments. Is the reward for the top three positions this time a resource for breaking through to the semi-elemental stage?"
Ian was taken aback.
The former is out of the question, since it's already close to semi-elementalization.
He might have been wary before, but now, even though he hasn't broken through to semi-elementalization, he's not afraid at all.
It was the latter that caught his attention.
Because at this moment, his highest fire elemental power had reached 77%, and he was about to break through to semi-elementalization.
It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's already sleepy.
"It seems we need to take this year's performance review more seriously."
Ian took a deep breath.
A month later.
Ian became thoroughly familiar with the changes brought about by the five crystals, which were even more powerful than he had imagined.
It's a comprehensive change.
Mental strength, reaction time, speed, domain...
At this moment, he was even stronger than when he first broke through, and his combat power had completely entered the semi-elemental stage.
"However, it's time to leave."
He took a deep breath.
Leaving the Wizard Tower and heading towards the main courtyard, we soon saw the location of the Star Palace.
There's not much to do today.
only one.
That is the annual assessment of the Shishouin branch.
