The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 170 New Missions and Breakthroughs
Outside Silver Ring Prison, Lynn received orders from Wizard Horsens.

The wizard was too busy to come in person, but instead entrusted a first-order wizard from a different school to deliver the message.

And coincidentally, this first-tier wizard was also an acquaintance of Lynn's.

"Long time no see, Samuel."

"Long time no see, Lynn." A smile appeared on the face of the handsome young man with light green hair.

The smile was faint, but Samuel hadn't smiled like that in a long time.

The Holy Ring Society, the prison, the deaths of many familiar companions, and the fortunate attainment of a first-tier wizard... one event after another followed, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the taciturn Samuel got straight to the point:
"The task assigned by Wizard Horsens this time is to establish an official liaison office for the Horsens School at Silver Ring Academy, and you and I are currently the main people in charge."

"Contact the base?"

"That's right. Professor Horsens has gained the approval of the Silver Ring Wizards, and his school is now the sixth allied school of the Silver Ring Academy, and has been allowed to establish a residence in the Silver Ring Academy."

"The full name is the Office of the Horsens School at the Silver Ring Academy, which has the authority to establish large-scale teleportation and communication magic arrays."

"Once it's established, we won't need to rely on public communication magic arrays anymore when we contact the sects at Silver Ring Academy. Also, when sect members come to Silver Ring Academy for exchanges, we'll have our own reception area."

“I understand.” Lynn nodded, roughly knowing that this place was probably similar to the embassy in his previous life.

"Are there only the two of us in charge?"

“That’s how it is for now,” Samuel replied. “As you know, the school has always been short-handed. Besides, Silver Ring Academy has dedicated personnel to assist with setting up the base. It just requires some paperwork, and it doesn’t require the wizards to be very powerful. Although we have just been promoted to first-tier wizards, we are more than capable of handling it.”

Such a task was impossible to refuse, so Lynn said nothing more and walked forward side by side with Samuel.

Although permission has been granted, Silver Ring Academy is a behemoth with numerous departments and a multitude of approval procedures. It will likely take a month, or even several months, for the facility to be officially established.

Fortunately, most of the process doesn't actually take too much time.

Most of the time was actually spent waiting, which did not affect cultivation.

More than half a month later, after consuming nearly 90,000 magic stones, Lynn finally touched upon a sliver of opportunity for physical advancement.

Advancing one level in physical fitness is fundamentally different from advancing from intermediate level 0 to advanced level 0.

This difference is like the difference between a wizard's apprentice and a fully-fledged wizard.

Within the Black Moon Spirit Body, the key to advancing the physical body to the next level is clearly recorded—willpower.

This is a special power that also originates from the soul, but relies on the body, and is different from spiritual power.

For a pure human body to advance to the next level, the most orthodox path is to stimulate the power of will!
All powerful techniques for balancing the spirit and body, and even physical cultivation secrets, follow this path when advancing to the next level.

In the high-class meditation room, where the daily rent was one thousand magic stones, Lynn took a breath of magic-rich air, took out a high-grade magic stone from his storage ring, and began to cultivate the Black Moon Spirit Body.

Half a day passed quickly.

Lynn paused.

He could feel that his physical body had been strengthened to the point marked in the Black Moon Spirit Body that it could stimulate his will.

Taking a deep breath, Lynn put away the magic stone. Without resting, he used the surge of energy in his heart to begin cultivating the part of the Black Moon Spirit Body that stimulates willpower.

This practice is somewhat similar to meditation, both concerning the soul and involving sitting meditation, but the specific sensations are vastly different. Meditation is usually calm and profound, but this time, Lynn could feel his body restless, his blood surging like waves, as if brewing some kind of storm.

But amidst this turmoil, Lynn found himself in a mysterious and inexplicable state.

His mind seemed both blank and tense.

And so, in a fleeting moment, a cluster of flickering flames gradually emerged and became clearer.

At first, it was as insignificant as dust, but then it became so vast that it almost occupied Lynn's entire mind and thoughts.

boom! !

Finally, at a certain moment, as if breaking some kind of shackle, that cluster of flames suddenly burst open!

In an instant, a power different from magic and spiritual power suddenly flowed out.

Under the influence of this force, Lynn's body underwent a dramatic transformation; every cell rejoiced, and every indicator advanced to the next level.

Of course, the most important improvement ultimately comes from this force itself!
"Is this the power of will...?"

Lynn opened his eyes, and his feet suddenly left the ground.

He did not use any magic or rely on anything; he simply floated quietly in the meditation room.

This is a completely different ability to fly than witchcraft or any other method!

It looked like he was standing on some kind of invisible plane, but when Lynn felt it carefully, he felt more like he was anchored there.

Swish!
With a slight thought, Lynn's figure instantly appeared at the other end of the meditation room.

This is not teleportation, but extremely fast flight!
Lynn looked surprised. Such speed was almost at the advanced level of the first rank. You have to know that he was only a first-rank beginner wizard and his physical body was only at the first rank!
'However, while it has explosive power, its endurance is not as good.'

Lynn tested it again and came to a conclusion.

In addition to granting the ability to fly, willpower also provides a unique form of protection.

Lynn temporarily called it the Willpower Armor.

This armor is resistant to both physical and mental attacks.

Its resistance to physical attacks is unremarkable, equivalent to a basic first-tier defensive spell, but it is extremely powerful against mental attacks, equivalent to a mid-tier first-tier defensive spell, a minor tier higher.

This may not seem surprising, but you should know that Lynn is only a first-level beginner wizard. Both his mind and body are only at the first level!
According to the Black Moon Spirit, after the power of will is activated, the resilience and recovery ability of the spirit will also be greatly improved, but this is difficult to verify.

'And then there's the final ability that comes with willpower—the Knight's Aura.'

"The specific effect is that when the power of will is released outward, the life within it will be affected by some negative influences."

However, the specific effects vary from person to person... and it's also difficult to test them now.

Shaking his head, Lynn glanced at the time and left the meditation room with satisfaction.

'...We'll talk about it later. At least I don't have to renew the lease on this expensive meditation room.'
