Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 113 Hydra Dual Additional Characteristics

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the window and onto the wooden floor of the workshop, forming a warm golden light spot.

Ron stood in the middle of the training room, took a deep breath, and felt the increasing flow of power in his body.

He closed his eyes, and his thoughts drifted to the origin of his bloodline.

The Ralph family - an ancient family that existed since the founding of the Farouk Kingdom.

According to ancient family records, their bloodline can be traced back to the great venomous Hydra serpent, the overlord of the Age of Gods.

However, in reality, every knight noble with inherited bloodline can trace their ancestors back to extremely powerful supernatural creatures.

This is nothing surprising. Everyone's ancestors were rich. The current Ralph family can only awaken the ordinary swamp hydra bloodline at most.

The Ralph family emblem features a multi-headed snake, symbolizing the family's roots and strength.

When he was in the kingdom before, he was puzzled as to why humans had the blood of venomous snakes or dragons.

It even gave me some inappropriate fantasies, but now it seems... everything is just the product of the wizards' experiments.

"But now..."

Ron whispered to himself, stroking his arm with his fingers. Golden meridian lines were faintly visible under the skin there. This was the "Sun Protection" feature he gained after practicing the "Coronal Breathing Method".

Ever since he took the improved "Yangyan Essence" and achieved a breakthrough, he could often feel a heat flowing in his body. The feeling was both strange and strangely familiar, as if some long-dormant power was gradually awakening.

"The Ralph family's multi-headed snake bloodline and the Yangyan Dragon subspecies bloodline stimulated by the Corona Breathing Technique... two completely different extraordinary bloodlines coexist in my body."

Ron fell into deep thought:
"Combined with the 'Tracing Origin' attribute I just acquired, perhaps I can trace back to a purer and more ancient bloodline."

The possibility of this multiple bloodline superposition made Ron's heart beat faster.

Of course, this expectation is also accompanied by caution.

Bloodline activation is a double-edged sword. Loss of directional control or excessive intensity may lead to distortion.

However, with the "tracing source" feature and the precise bloodline activation potion prepared by oneself, these risks may be avoided to the greatest extent.

"Anyway, we'll have a chance to find out in a few days," Ron said softly, slowly opening his eyes.

He raised his hand, picked up the ironwood sword placed beside him, and skillfully performed a series of basic sword moves.

Every movement was as smooth as flowing water, the sword moves naturally and smoothly, without any unnecessary force.

Every muscle in the body worked together with precision, and every sword swing was carried out with a heart-pounding accuracy and sharpness.

The sword light drew a graceful arc in the morning light, making a slight whistling sound, as if the air was being cut apart.

[Current Progress: Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery Max)]

"I've definitely reached the top..." Ron muttered to himself, sheathing his sword. "I won't gain any experience points if I continue practicing."

The basic swordsmanship has reached its limit, and the profession panel shows that it will not be improved any further.

In this case, continuing to practice sword moves is obviously a waste of time. Anyway, the panel is fixed and the level will not decline if you don't practice.

"If you want to make further progress in swordsmanship, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until you advance to the level of [Magic Swordsman]."

"Until then, just focus on the spell."

Today is the second week since he officially moved into the workshop. In order to save unnecessary time running around, Eric and Leah arranged the weekly tests together. After passing them, he can directly start studying the second phase of the course.

"I have to take the weekly test this afternoon, so I should practice my spells first."

Ron smiled slightly and turned his hand to the other side of the spell medium - an exquisitely crafted silver bracelet.

This was something he bought some time ago specifically to better guide the flow of magic power and improve the efficiency of spells. It cost him about a dozen magic stone fragments.

Although it is only a primary alchemical creation, it is sufficient for assistance at his current stage.

Ron stood in the open space of the workshop, took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and mental state, raised his hands, closed his eyes, and felt the flow of magic in his body.

He first focused on sensing the energy field in the room, and then gradually turned his attention to a small creature used for special training: a white laboratory rat placed in a transparent glass cover.

These specially bred mice are extremely sensitive to mental fluctuations and are ideal subjects for practicing mind interference spells.

"Mental interference..." Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which was a sign of high mental concentration.

Ron's mental power began to gather, condensing into an almost invisible subtle ripple.

These ripples may appear fragile, but they actually contain carefully constructed mental interference patterns that can act on the nervous system of an organism, causing temporary confusion or dizziness.

He repeatedly adjusted the frequency and intensity of the ripples, trying to find the optimal balance. Too weak and it would have no effect, while too strong might cause permanent damage to the lab mice, rendering them useless.

The first few attempts didn't go well.

The first time, the lab rat barely reacted;
The second time, it just twitched its ears a little;

The third time, it stopped moving briefly but quickly returned to normal.

"Not accurate enough..." Ron frowned, and more sweat beads appeared on his forehead.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself completely in mental construction, trying out more complex ripple structures.

This time, he constructed a ring-shaped mental wave, which could theoretically act more precisely on specific brain areas.

"Fourth attempt..."

As the mental power was released, an invisible ripple shot accurately towards the glass cover.

This time, the effect was immediate—the experimental mouse suddenly stopped all movements, as if frozen in place, its eyes becoming confused and empty.

To be precise, this was not a simple stop, but a specific state of neural interference. Ron could clearly feel that the brain activity of the experimental mouse was temporarily suspended by him.

After a few dozen seconds, the experimental mouse returned to normal, but it looked obviously tired and confused, which is a typical sequelae of mental interference.

[Mental Disturbance Experience + 1]

[Breakthrough! Mental Interference (Beginner 50/50) → Mental Interference (Proficient 1/100)]

[Gain additional characteristics: Hysteresis Circle (within a specific range, the interference effect is increased to a certain extent)]

"Success!" Ron cheered softly, feeling the subtle changes in the way his mental energy flowed in his body.

After a short rest, he began to practice "spell construction", which is the basis of all spells and determines the caster's control over magic power and the stability of the spell model.

He picked up a special crystal ball, a tool specifically used for practicing spell construction.

The crystal ball can reflect the caster's magic control status in real time, and any slight fluctuations and instability will be manifested in the ball.

"This time we're going to try a triple superposition configuration..."

Ron said to himself that this was an advanced technique he saw in the book "The Essence of Wizard Modeling", which was usually only accomplished by experienced spellcasters.

He channeled a stream of mental energy into the crystal ball and began to construct a spell model inside.

It starts with a simple ring structure, then gradually increases in complexity, adding second and third layers, each maintaining a specific resonant relationship with the previous one.

Complex light patterns gradually appeared inside the crystal ball. At first, they were a little blurry, but as Ron continued to adjust them, the light patterns became clearer and more stable.

This process was extremely mentally exhausting. Ron's forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing became a little rapid.

But he persisted, constantly fine-tuning every detail until the three-dimensional structure within the crystal ball was perfectly balanced.

"It's now……"

When the last trace of instability was eliminated, the light patterns in the crystal ball suddenly became unusually bright and stable, and the three ring configurations perfectly superimposed on each other to form a harmonious and unified whole.

[Spell Construction Experience + 1]

[Breakthrough! Spell Construction (Beginner 50/50) → Spell Construction (Proficient 1/100)]

[Gain additional features: Stable state (slightly increases the stability of the spell model and slightly reduces mana consumption)]

"After so many days of accumulation, I finally achieved a breakthrough today."

Ron muttered to himself, looking at his double breakthrough with satisfaction.

The improvement of these two skills will come in handy in today's weekly test.

After practicing the spell, Ron sat cross-legged and prepared to start his daily meditation practice.

As he entered a meditative state, his consciousness gradually sank into the familiar starry sky—the unique realm of consciousness of "The Whisper of the Star Eater".

As always, in that deep universe, countless living stars flickered with strange light, as if whispering.

But today, Ron discovered that the stars seemed more active than usual, their light was brighter, and their whispers were clearer.

He even seemed to understand the intermittent words in it:
"……return……"

Ron's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he heard such a clear "voice" during meditation.
