Wizard, I have a game board.

Chapter 302 Absurd
Pathfinder?

"What prodigy?"

"Isn't this guy the strongest genius in their civilization?"

Those viewers who had just clicked in from the pinned gladiatorial list to watch the fun gasped at Sanchez's whisper and asked the surrounding audience members for their opinions.

Generally speaking, a top-tier large civilization is considered qualified if it can produce one sixth-tier, eight-star genius; two or three would be considered a period of explosive growth.

As for the sixth-tier, nine-star level, even the dominant civilizations of the Plane Sea would find it difficult to cultivate such a talent; it depends on fate.

In the vast Crystal Domain, the total number of sixth-tier, nine-star geniuses in an entire era is less than ten thousand.

Judging from what that guy in the arena was saying, it seems that their civilization has encountered something?
"Yes, you can search for a post called 'Shocking! There is an unknown top-level large civilization'. It contains detailed information."

"Tsk, it's truly rare for a large civilization to produce such a genius."

"I'm looking forward to 'Time and Space' returning to the arena. I'll definitely come and see it then."

"Haha, me too."

"Compared to 'space-time,' I'm actually more interested in this guy. He's a flesh-and-blood type, yet his body has been riddled with holes by Lord Fyodor's projection. And yet, he doesn't even show a hint of pain on his face. Is that reasonable?"

"Hiss—now that you mention it, it dawned on me what he had been through before?"

"I suddenly remembered something he said to that metal dragon before: 'With your current performance, if you dared to walk the path I came from, you'd probably be dead by now.' At the time, I thought he was joking, but now it seems..."

"Could it be that he wasn't lying?!"

Some viewers who had been watching the whole thing were explaining it to the new viewers, some were discussing 'time and space' with great anticipation, and others were completely focused on Sanchez's expression.

The more viewers watched, the more alarmed they became, especially those focused on Sanchez.

For beings of flesh and blood, pain is an absolutely indispensable part of life.

However, despite having countless holes punched in his body by Fyodor, the guy didn't show the slightest sign of pain.

There is only one explanation for this situation: he has become accustomed to this pain, and even to a deeper level of pain.

Inside the transparent barrier.

"This guy," Lor listened to Sanchez's whisper, speechless.

It must be said that Sanchez's words were the finishing touch, perfectly completing the task.

But he felt that this guy's real purpose was probably not to complete the mission, but to force himself to put on another show.

While he was inwardly criticizing him, he also admired Sanchez quite a bit.

You should know that this guy was being beaten down by Fyodor, and the pain he was in was no less than being torn to pieces.

As it turned out, this guy not only didn't show the slightest discomfort, but also had the energy to chat about all sorts of things, which was absolutely amazing.

"As expected of Sanchez," Vincentia exclaimed in admiration.

"Amazing!" Longxiong Aida exclaimed.

Even if it were him, he absolutely wouldn't be able to remain calm in this situation.

“That’s really impressive.” Eddie nodded, expressing his deep agreement.

The speakers, who knew Sanchez quite well, were filled with nothing but admiration at this moment.

This guy may seem unreliable on the surface, but that's just an appearance. In reality, he's more resilient than anyone else.

Inside the arena.

One minute
Seven minutes.
Eleven minutes later, when Sanchez's head was pierced by a beam of light, the sixth-tier, nine-star challenge officially came to an end.

Throughout, his expression remained calm and composed.

The sight of the bloody holes constantly emerging from his body was so shocking.

Eventually, almost all the spectators fell silent, simply watching Sanchez walk step by step toward defeat and death.

They only snapped out of their daze when a vibrant green light screen, signaling the end of the duel, unfolded before them.

In the Wizarding Dimension, on the continent of Milton, in the study on the top floor of Francis's Wizarding Tower.

Francis, who had just withdrawn from the Second World, did not rush to convene a small council to find Lor to understand why his defense had reached the seventh-tier threshold first. Instead, he sent a communication request to Sanchez according to the previously agreed plan.

The communication request had just been sent when it was answered by Sanchez, and a light screen appeared in front of him.

"Speaker Francis, I think I've successfully completed my mission?" Sanchez asked with a smile on his face in the light screen.

His expression gave no indication that he had just endured torture akin to being cut into a thousand pieces.

“Yes, you did very well.” Francis nodded seriously, giving an affirmative answer, and then asked, “You chose to take on the Nine-Star Challenge because you wanted to forge your own path to the Sixth-Order Nine-Star level?”

Although he guessed that Sanchez probably had this idea, it was ultimately just a guess.

We need to find out for sure first.

"Haha, you really can hide anything from me."

Sanchez grinned and said, "I do have that idea, but I don't have a specific idea of ​​where to start yet."

"I was planning to go and ask Speaker Lor about whether there would be any Abyss Wizards who would reach the sixth rank and nine stars in the future, but before I could send the message, your message came."

“I asked beforehand for you,” Francis said without batting an eye. “He said that some Abyss Wizards have reached the sixth rank, nine stars, but he doesn’t know the specific method, so he didn’t give you any guidance to avoid you going down the wrong path.”

This excuse couldn't be more reasonable. Lor's caution was consistent, and everyone in the Wizarding Alliance knew that.

Therefore, it was perfectly logical for him not to tell Sanchez about it.

"There really is one?!"

Sanchez's eyes lit up immediately: "If he can do it, so can I. Speaker Lor is just being too cautious; it's completely unnecessary."

"Just wait and see, I'll be able to take another step forward sooner or later and truly enter the sixth-order nine-star realm."

Putting everything else aside, on the path of the Abyss Wizard, Sanchez believed he was no less capable than any other Abyss Wizard, including another future sixth or seventh-ring Abyss Wizard.

If they can become sixth-tier, nine-star beings, why can't I?
The so-called sixth rank and nine stars are explained in detail in the civilization information exchange panel.

Take, for example, someone who has only grasped the rudiments of a law and has just broken through to the seventh rank.

If we disregard everything else, the standard strength of the law is usually 1.0.

The strength of this 1.0 rule is manifested through various rules, and its specific strength will fluctuate around 0.9-1.05.

It is worth mentioning that 0.9 is an exception, and only those from faith factions can achieve this. In ordinary law systems, the strongest are generally above 1.0.

Therefore, in general, the power of the 0.9 rule is the threshold for the seventh tier.

Sanchez, after various bloodline amplifications, has barely reached a defense rating of around 0.97, while his attack is slightly weaker, hovering around 0.92. He is already among the stronger tier 6, 8-star characters. His weakness is also obvious: his speed is poor. Against fast enemies, even if he can withstand the attack, he will be at a disadvantage. If he can't withstand it, then everything is over.

As for the sixth rank and nine stars, one of them must have a strength that reaches 1.05 of the Law Power, and be able to cover up the weaknesses of the other two.

Only in this way can one be qualified to contend with the seventh rank, be called a prodigy, and achieve the state that Sanchez has always dreamed of.

Of course, the situation is much more complicated in actual combat. The strength of the laws alone cannot determine everything, unless the gap is too large, like that between Sanchez and Fyodor.

I hope your wish comes true.

Francis smiled and offered his blessings, then said, "Let's take it slow. I'm going to hold an unconventional mini-council now, and I suggest you come and take a look."

“In this small council meeting, Speaker Lor will reveal a big secret to us.”

The so-called unconventional small council is a small council where participation is not mandatory. It is similar to regular communication, where you can choose whether or not to accept the invitation.

When the arena first opened, Lor revealed that his defensive magic had reached the seventh level threshold, and said that he would explain in detail after Sanchez's gladiatorial combat ended.

And now, the time has come.

“Of course I have to see this!” Sanchez’s eyes immediately lit up.

It's not easy to get anything out of that person, so how could he possibly miss out on something like this?

On the continent of Betura, at the top floor of the Lor Wizard Tower, in the study.

Lor took out the mainland communicator and waited quietly for Francis to finish his charade before starting the unconventional small council.

He wasn't sure what Xue meant by 'qualification', but it wouldn't hurt to discuss it with the council members. What if someone could fuse with the rudimentary form of a law without needing qualifications?
Just as Lor was pondering this, a meeting invitation suddenly appeared on his mainland communicator.

Without hesitation, he clicked "accept".

One after another, beams of light unfolded before him, quickly reaching 47, more than those who had come to watch Sanchez's gladiator fight.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Lor, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Clearly, even the Speaker, who hadn't been to the arena before, already knew what Francis's purpose was in holding this small council meeting.

"Gentlemen, the reason why my defensive magic broke through the seventh ring threshold first was actually due to an accident."

Lor looked around and, without keeping anyone in suspense, said directly, "Back then, I used the apprentice's mental strength limit-breaking potion that Uri sent to construct the last apprentice-level spell, complete the spatial barrier spell, and give it special characteristics."

"Then it was integrated into the core defensive magic spacetime domain, and that's when the accident happened."

"At that time, the spatial barrier property suddenly and inexplicably merged into a derivative property of the spacetime domain, directly pushing it to the strength of the 1.065 law."

"To be honest, I was also surprised when this change first happened, and even a little 'fearful', afraid that this unexpected event might lead to a dead end."

He paused slightly at this point, both to give the other speakers time to process the information and to give them an opportunity to ask questions.

"Feature fusion?"

"The strength of the 1.065 rule?"

"How can it be?!"

The speakers exchanged glances, all of them utterly shocked.

The characteristics of the wizard civilization are equivalent to the rudiments of the laws of other civilizations. They have never seen any other civilization in the civilization information exchange list that has been able to integrate this thing in advance.

Is their Wizarding Alliance really that special, that even their traits can be fused ahead of time?
Besides, they were perfectly clear about the meaning of the 1.065 rule strength.

This is the mark of a sixth-order, nine-star character!
They had considered that Lor might become a sixth-tier, nine-star being in the future, but not now, and certainly not in the past.

Before we knew it, this person had actually become one?!
Lor provided so much information that it was difficult for all the speakers to process it all at once, and the meeting fell silent.

After a moment, Sanchez couldn't help but ask, "Chairman Lor, can traits really be fused ahead of time?"

His five bloodlines merged into one, giving rise to six characteristics. If he could fuse these characteristics in advance, achieving the sixth rank and nine stars would be a piece of cake.
"Yes, but according to the great manager Xue, it seems that some qualifications are required to achieve this, and I'm not quite sure what those qualifications are."

Lor shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Therefore, you can only try to find a new way to fuse them. Once you find one, it will be like having a new path to become stronger."

"By the way, it also told me that fusing the properties ahead of time will not have any negative effects. On the contrary, it will have great benefits, so everyone can try it with confidence."

He wasn't sure if anyone from the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization was spying on them, so he naturally wouldn't reveal anything about the panel.

Most importantly, even if it were revealed, it wouldn't really make any difference, since no other wizard besides him and the players could have the panel.

“Find it yourself?” Sanchez nodded thoughtfully.

"I see."

"qualifications."

The speakers all fell silent, repeatedly processing the information Lor had given them.

“Wait, Speaker Lor, could you tell me when you fused with your traits?” Francis suddenly asked, his voice strained.

“August 9th, Wizarding Calendar 7201, what’s wrong?” Lor looked at Francis strangely.

This question doesn't seem that important, does it?

What's the point of asking this?

"When was the last time you passed the test for the blood of a great manager?" Francis did not answer, but continued to ask as if to confirm.

He knew, of course, that Lor had passed his last blood test on November 12, 7085, but now he was suddenly less certain.

"November 12, 7085, I remember telling you that, right?" Lor became increasingly confused.

"So, even after you passed the test, you can still contact that person at any time and ask them questions?" Francis asked, his voice trembling.

Before obtaining the Second World Entry Certificate, he did not understand what the Administrators were, so he did not fully understand the significance of Lor meeting the Administrators and being able to receive their assessment.

After obtaining the Second World entry pass from Lor and learning about the true strength and status of the administrators, he even doubted whether he was still dreaming, even though he hadn't entered a dream for countless years.

Is such a being something that Lor, or even the entire wizarding civilization, could come into contact with?
But the facts are there, and he can't help but believe them.

But now, he suddenly discovered something even more bizarre.

Even after completing all the manager's tests, Lor was still able to contact that person at any time and ask them questions.

Is this reasonable?

At this moment, Francis felt that everything was so absurd and bizarre.

After Francis's questions, the other speakers also came to their senses, staring blankly at Lor, having completely forgotten about the matter of trait fusion.

Compared to the fusion of features, this seems to be the most outrageous thing, doesn't it?!
Even more outrageous is that Speaker Lor didn't seem to think anything of it, as if he was already used to it.
