The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 240 Ten Years in a Hurry
Chapter 240
Time flows like water, passing quietly. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Over the past decade, both the Kingdom of Eluria and its internal Temple of Life have maintained an unusual level of stability and tranquility.

Once the title of "Hercules" was spread, the peaceful years that Lynn longed for finally arrived.

Although the long-lost Aquila has reappeared in the wizarding world over the past decade, it has never bothered the Spirit-Eyed Wizard.

He was clearly wary of Hercules's overwhelming power and chose to remain inactive.

After losing this strongest external enemy, Lynn and the Temple of Life finally gained a truly peaceful space for cultivation.

In the extraordinary world of the Kingdom of Eluria, the strategies of the Temple of Life are completely different from those of the Spirit Eye Forge of the past.

The path that the Spirit-Eyed Wizard pursued was one of iron-fisted expansion and external conquest. He prepared for war, and the clouds of war were gathering, drawing almost all the extraordinary forces in the kingdom into a continuous torrent of war.

Lynn, however, had no intention of restarting the war.

His policy for the Temple of Life was to develop steadily and become the most deeply rooted and influential local power in the kingdom.

Moreover, the Temple of Life, in its external image and operational methods, is closer to the "White Wizard camp":
It should be about spreading knowledge, supporting talent, and respecting rules, not the terrifying practices of a dark wizard.

Over the past decade, the Temple of Life has established numerous academies, universities, and witchcraft training institutions in the kingdom's various provinces to select and cultivate wizarding talents and continuously expand its own resources.

The hall has a clear system and strict laws, and there has never been any chaos such as "bullying others by taking advantage of one's power" or "second-generation rich kids running rampant".

With Lord Lynn suppressing the rebellion, no one dared to challenge his authority or break the rules.

Inside and outside the entire Temple of Life, everything was orderly and functioning smoothly, revealing a vibrant vitality and a thriving scene.

It can be said that ten years ago, the Temple of Life conquered the kingdom's extraordinary world with its powerful strength, making all parties submit and becoming the undisputed number one power.

Ten years later, the Temple of Life, with its gentle yet firm development strategy, good reputation and order, won the hearts of everyone and became the undisputed core of the extraordinary world of the kingdom.

The most direct manifestation of this change is:

Nowadays, even some outside Level 3 Grand Wizards are voluntarily requesting to join the Temple of Life!

This alone is enough to explain everything.

………………

The core area inside the Temple of Life is a fully functional public area, with various buildings such as a library, laboratories, and a fighting arena.

The buildings, arranged in a logical and adjacent manner, form the central hub for the daily learning and training of wizard apprentices.

As a result, this area is bustling with people almost every day, with a constant stream of students coming and going, making it a lively and vibrant place.

That day, the sky was overcast and covered with dark clouds, and the oppressive air pressure made people feel vaguely uncomfortable.

In this bustling core area, a group of three people—one man and two women—were walking slowly, attracting considerable attention.

The man was wearing a wizard apprentice robe specially made by the Temple of Life, with three magatama emblems embroidered on his chest, symbolizing that he had reached the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

He had blond hair, a tall and upright build, and while his face wasn't exactly handsome, it wasn't ugly either; he was above average.

At this moment, the two female students beside him, also wearing standard school gowns, still couldn't hide their beauty.

The two women were about seven or eight points attractive, with graceful figures. Even though they were hidden under their wide robes, their exquisite curves could still be vaguely seen. Coupled with their delicate faces, they were truly eye-catching.

However, judging from the single magatama symbol on their chests, it can be determined that these two are new students who have recently joined the Hall of Life.

"Brother Quentin, it's so lively here, there are so many people..."

One of the petite and slender female students spoke softly, her voice tinged with nervousness, before quietly clinging to the man's arm, appearing unusually dependent.

"Of course, this is the core area of ​​our Temple of Life."

The man, named Quentin, upon hearing this, casually put his arm around the girl, his tone tinged with a hint of boastfulness.

“Every place around here, whether it’s accommodation or trading, is incredibly expensive. Even the worst single room costs several hundred magic stones a month.”

Wow... Quentin knows so much!

The two female trainees spoke almost in unison, revealing expressions of admiration and respect, which made Quentin feel almost elated.

Quentin, as a third-level wizard apprentice, although holding a high position among the students, was well aware that with his aptitude and resources, his chances of breaking through to become a full-fledged wizard were extremely slim.

That's why he gave up the struggle to rise early on and instead sought ways to "enjoy life".

Deceiving these newly enrolled female students who knew nothing about the wizarding world was his favorite pastime.

All of this is thanks to the wizard qualification screening program widely implemented by the Temple of Life within the kingdom, which has recruited a large number of "newcomers" from ordinary backgrounds with no background.

If it were still the old days of the Spirit Eye Forge, most of the people who could sneak in would have been from a wizarding background. Quentin would never have had the chance to leisurely fool young girls here.

"By the way, Quentin, what's that building over there?"

Another female student nestled on Quentin's other side, pointing to a tall, solemn building not far away.

A huge metal plaque hangs directly above the building, its surface covered with densely packed wizarding script that flows slowly and shines as if it were alive.

"Oh, that's the mission hall of our Temple of Life."

Quentin looked in the direction she was pointing and explained with a hint of smugness:

“The mission hall releases various missions every day, which we students can freely choose to accept. After completing them, we can get rewards and points, which can be used to exchange for resources needed for cultivation.”

"Those floating names are the top ten on the mission points leaderboard."

"Those who can rank in the top ten are not only strong and resourceful, but also the most likely to break through and become formal wizards."

At this point, Quentin's voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels.

Even though he had long given up on the idea of ​​breaking through, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and loneliness when he talked about it now.

After all, once you cross that threshold, a formal wizard and a wizard apprentice are completely from two different worlds.

A noble status, a long lifespan, and almost limitless potential—all of these are all alluring.

"A proper wizard..."

Upon hearing this title, both female trainees' eyes shone with reverence and longing.

Even if they had only just stepped into the wizarding world, they understood that it was an unattainable height. Within the Temple of Life, the status of formal wizards was unapproachable. They wore unique, custom-made robes with exclusive emblems embroidered on their chests, which were not only symbols of status but also manifestations of power and authority.

If they meet on the road, any apprentice must stop and bow, and dare not be negligent in the slightest.

Quentin strolled leisurely through the core area of ​​the Temple of Life with two female students.

The strange landscapes, mysterious architecture, various mechanisms and magical structures along the way constantly assaulted the vision and imagination of the two new female trainees, leaving them overwhelmed and full of amazement.

Quentin himself was captivated by the subtle fragrance and intimate gestures of the two, his mind already conjuring up romantic images of how to "arrange the program" for the evening.

Just then, one of the female students suddenly stopped and pointed to a towering wizard tower in the distance, her expression full of surprise and awe.

"Brother Quentin, what is that tower...? It's so quiet there, I can't see a single person."

Quentin looked in that direction and saw that the wizard tower was pitch black, with faint magical patterns running across its surface. The tower soared into the clouds, as if it connected heaven and earth.

A large open space had been cleared around the tower, where many wizard apprentices stood solemnly on guard, their expressions serious, and no one dared to approach.

"That is the most central area of ​​our temple of life."

Quentin lowered his voice and said slowly, "It is said that the Lord of the Temple resides in that wizard tower to cultivate."

Upon hearing this, the two female trainees gasped in unison, their eyes filled with awe.

"The Temple Master is the most powerful wizard in our Temple of Life. He can spend years on a single experiment. To avoid disturbing his research and cultivation, the area around the wizard's tower has always been kept quiet, and we apprentices are strictly forbidden from approaching it."

As they spoke, the three of them simultaneously slowed their pace, stopped making noise, and even their gazes became cautious and respectful.

The towering wizard's tower, like a sleeping god, stands there silently, inspiring instinctive awe and reverence.

Just then, the petite female student suddenly opened her mouth wide and exclaimed in surprise, her finger trembling as she pointed to the air.

Quentin was startled by her sudden movement and instinctively looked in the direction she was pointing.

Upon seeing this, his expression froze instantly, and an unprecedented shock appeared on his face!
The top of the towering wizard's tower was already obscured by layers of thick, dark clouds.

But at that very moment, an extremely dazzling golden light, almost piercing the sky, suddenly burst forth from the top of the tower!

A flash of light appeared, as intense as heavenly fire.

Immediately following, visible ripples of magic spread out from the wizard tower, like a turbulent lake, constantly expanding. Wherever they passed, even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be forcibly torn apart and blown away, disappearing with a roar!

At that moment, the entire sky above the Temple of Life was transformed by this mysterious force.

The originally gloomy and oppressive sky, filled with dark clouds, was instantly dispelled, replaced by a clear and bright scene with bright sunshine and a clear blue sky.

The entire process took only a few breaths, yet it shocked everyone who witnessed it.

Countless students stopped and looked up, their eyes filled with shock and awe, and they even held their breath unconsciously.

Is this the power of the Palace Master? To forcibly alter the celestial phenomena with a single spell?!
It's simply unbelievable, like a god descending to earth!
Meanwhile, at the top of the Wizard Tower, it was no longer a place that outsiders could see.

The top of the tower has been transformed into a spacious platform, covered with intricate magical runes. Around it are several specially constructed energy pools and observation devices, each containing strong magical fluctuations and being extraordinary.

At the very center of the platform stands a giant circular building that is over ten meters high.

The entire piece is cast from rare star gold, and its surface is covered with intricate and complex magical markings, resembling a living magic circle that flows endlessly and emits a faint glow.

This is the Gate to the Stars, the supreme device essential for Morning Star Wizards to communicate with the World Sea and explore endless planes.

At this moment, in front of the Star Gate, Grand Wizard Helen and several other core members are nervously making adjustments.

A moment later, Helen bowed and reported:

"Lord Qinglin, the 991st Star Gate repair test has been successfully completed. The device has been activated and coordinate fluctuations from the World Sea have been successfully received, enabling preliminary dimensional exploration."

Lynn nodded gently, her expression calm, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally succeeded.

It turns out that the golden light that pierced the sky and the subsequent dramatic changes in the celestial phenomena were caused by the magical energy resonance when the Star Gate was successfully activated.

At this moment, the entire Hall of Life was still marveling at "your hall master's once again awe-inspiring experimental results," little did they know that it was merely a passive reaction...

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past decade, Lynn has consistently adhered to the three major spiritual plans he established in his early years, steadily and methodically advancing them step by step.

With the powerful help of his talent "Heaven rewards diligence", he has thoroughly solidified his foundation at the first and second level of wizarding, and even achieved far greater success than ordinary wizards in many fields.

Moreover, he also studied a large number of witchcraft texts, mastering all the first and second-level witchcraft materials at hand, making him almost a walking encyclopedia of witchcraft.

Now, Lynn's focus of training has shifted entirely to the level of a third-level archmage, and he has begun to complete the magical structure and extraordinary knowledge system of that stage.

Although the difficulty of the content increases dramatically at this stage, the corresponding information on witchcraft becomes much scarcer.

Therefore, the overall time spent was not extended. At his speed, he only needed a few more years to master all the existing information.

On the level of mental strength, Lynn has successfully broken through to 351 points, officially stepping into the late stage of a Level 3 Grand Wizard.

At this moment, within his spiritual realm, the spiritual energy that was originally surging like a tide has undergone a large-scale transformation, crystallizing into stable and dazzling spiritual crystal structures.

In the entire spiritual realm, the spiritual energy in the vast majority of areas has crystallized, with only a small area at the very top still maintaining a flowing liquid state.

Once this last part of spiritual power is crystallized and transformed, the entire spiritual domain will reach its maximum value of 375 points, achieving complete perfection!

Then he can take that crucial step and attempt to become a Morning Star Wizard!

Lynn had planned this all along.

The last of his three major plans was to repair the Star Gate!
Even though he found some broken old door fragments in the Spirit Eye Furnace instead of refining them from scratch, it only saved him some materials and processes.

The actual repair process is still extremely difficult, requiring a huge amount of resources and time, enough for several wizard apprentices to break through to the level of a third-level great wizard.

For ten years, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work, sparing no expense, and finally, today…

The Star Gate has been fully repaired!
Not only was the repair successful, but it has also undergone rigorous testing and verification, proving to be fully usable.

Looking at the magnificent stargate before him, shimmering with golden light and interwoven with runes, Lynn finally showed a hint of relaxation and murmured softly:
"Finally... it's fixed."
