Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 215: A Threat to Morning Star Level!

There is another crucial point he did not address: a core mechanism that can maximize this resonance effect.

He recalled the description of the "singing starfish" in the "Illustrated Guide to Abyssal Creatures".

These peculiar creatures, dwelling in the fifth layer of the abyss, the "Sea of ​​Eternal Night," can produce a destructive effect through exponentially increasing sound waves of different frequencies generated by their tribal chanting.

A single singing starfish can be easily obliterated by a Morning Star wizard.

However, if dozens of them gather in one place, even a Dark Sun-level wizard will have to give way. This is the qualitative change after the sound waves are superimposed.

"Stacking. Stacking!"

Ron suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with a light of enlightenment.

If a mechanism could be designed so that sound waves do not simply dissipate upon contact with a target, but instead superimpose themselves to produce multiple resonances.
He quickly adjusted the spell model, adding a completely new energy circuit.

This circuit allows the released sound waves to create a faint echo after the initial impact.

Although the echo is not strong enough, if its frequency resonates with the target, it can trigger a secondary impact.

In this way, a single spell can produce multiple strikes, not only increasing the intensity but also fundamentally undermining the structural stability of the target.

With the adjustment of the last energy node completed, Ron felt an unprecedented sense of clarity.

The spell model shone with perfect light in his mental world, every part was just right, without anything superfluous or missing.

[Sonic Oscillation Experience Points +1]

Breakthrough! Sonic Oscillation (Proficiency 100/100) → Sonic Oscillation (Mastery Max)

[Advanced Features:]
Microwave ripples → Homogeneous ripples
(While maintaining its imperceptible nature, it will create an "echo effect" upon hitting a target, multiplying the damage through multiple stacks of sound waves.)

A strange feeling welled up inside Ron; he felt a certain area of ​​his mental world being completely opened up.

The sonic vibration spell model was no longer external knowledge, but had become a part of his soul.

“It worked,” Ron said softly, a rare smile appearing on his face.

He couldn't wait to test the effects of the spell breakthrough.

Extending his right hand, his spiritual energy flowed along a completely new path.

"go."

With a soft command, an almost invisible ripple spread from his palm and struck the wooden dummy opposite the training field.

After a brief silence, a tiny crack began to spread from the surface of the wooden dummy, rapidly expanding.

Finally, the entire wooden dummy collapsed from the inside, turning into a pile of wood chips scattered all over the ground.

“Synchro Ripple,” Ron muttered to himself, a satisfied gleam in his eyes.

This entirely new characteristic transforms sonic oscillations from a simple impact into a terrifying weapon capable of continuously accumulating damage.

The initial impact may not cause obvious damage, but as the ripples resonate and superimpose within the target, the final destructive power will increase exponentially.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of attack has almost no obvious external signs, and the target may be completely disintegrated from the inside without the target even realizing it.

Ron's thoughts raced. What would happen if he combined "Erosion Symphony" with this new "Harmony Ripple"?
He took a deep breath and began to rebuild the spell model.

This time, he not only incorporated the basic structure of sound wave oscillation, but also added the special frequency of the "Erosion Movement".

The two sound waves intertwined and merged in his mental world, forming a completely new composite waveform.

—Sonic oscillation erosion state!
The moment the spell was completed, Ron felt an unprecedentedly powerful force.

This power excited him, yet also made him wary—it seemed to have gone beyond the scope of what a senior apprentice should be.

He carefully controlled the output intensity, releasing the composite ripple towards the second wooden dummy.

The results were astonishing.

A layer of black lines instantly appeared on the surface of the wooden dummy, as if it had been eroded by some unknown virus.

Then, within seconds, the entire wooden structure began to dissolve, eventually turning into a pool of black liquid that emitted an unpleasant odor.

"This power." A hint of surprise flashed in Ron's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Through his mental perception and calculations, he estimated that the penetrating power of this attack might even threaten the safety of a Morning Star Wizard.

Of course, this is on the premise that the target can be hit.

The reaction speed and defensive methods of a Morning Star Wizard are far beyond the reach of even a high-level apprentice.

However, it is undeniable that this combined attack has become a powerful weapon that transcends class limitations, making it an important trump card when facing strong enemies.

Ron tried casting it again to test the effect of continuous use.

However, this time, he immediately felt a significant drain on his mental energy and mental pollution.

"It seems that double superposition is the current limit."

He assessed the situation calmly.

While higher-level superposition is theoretically feasible, given his current level of mental strength and control, it could very likely lead to the spell going out of control or damage to his own mental structure.

[Detected acquisition of the advanced trait "Synchro Ripple," promotion success rate increased by 5%]

[Current success rate of breakthrough via the authentic approach: 79.3%]

The prompt on the panel made Ron happy.

His mastery of magic not only enhanced his combat abilities but also directly increased his chances of becoming a full-fledged wizard.

"Next, we need to push the 'Ring of Radiance' to mastery as well."

Ron was secretly making plans.

According to the system prompts, to become a formal wizard through the authentic path, one needs to reach the mastery level of at least three spells.

He has now completed the sonic oscillation.

As his second core skill that is about to be broken through, the Ring of Radiance will become the focus of his training in the next stage.

He crouched down and gently touched the pool of black liquid that had been transformed from the wooden dummy, feeling the faint energy fluctuations remaining within it.

"Sonic oscillation erosion state."

Ron repeated the name in a low voice, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips.

This idea of ​​combining different magical elements may be the key to his future creation of a personal magical system.

What kind of effect would occur if light were combined with sound waves?

"Can mental interference be integrated with the mobile protective barrier to form an absolute defense at the mental level?"

"Can the core frequency of the Erosion Symphony be applied to other elemental spells?"

Countless possibilities flooded his mind, each containing enormous potential.

But Ron knew that true power didn't lie in mastering a lot of fancy techniques.

The key lies in honing a few core abilities to their extreme, forming a truly unique and irreplaceable fighting style.

He stood up, looked around the training ground damaged by the spell experiments, and shook his head slightly.

"Looks like we need to rebuild a few wooden dummy dummies."

The success rate on the panel reappeared—79.3%, a success rate of nearly 80%, which was enough to support his ambition to try the authentic approach.

But Ron is not a risk-taker, especially when the risk involves the complete annihilation of his own existence.

"It needs to be at least 85%, and ideally over 90%."

This was the bottom line he set for himself, a critical point he believed was worth risking everything for.

Ron looked up at the night sky outside the window, his gaze piercing through the darkness, as if reaching the depths of the distant stars.

There, a great and terrifying being looks down upon this tiny world, waiting for the brave or the foolish to make a connection with it.

………………

In the following days, the atmosphere in the workshop became unusually somber.

Ron was immersed in the practice of mastering magic, spending most of his time locked in the training ground, only appearing in front of others when necessary.

Lilia continued to prepare three meals a day as usual. Although her cooking skills were steadily improving, conversations at the dinner table became increasingly rare.

She was always the first to finish eating, quickly clearing away the dishes before returning to her room to continue studying the books and notes Ron had left her, seemingly trying to fill the impending separation with knowledge.

Ailan spent most of her time taking care of Dale and teaching the young siren about plants.

When they are not training, they sit quietly in the courtyard, exchanging silent messages, as if enjoying their last moments of peace.

This subtle atmosphere is like the calm before the storm.

Everyone knows that change is coming, but no one is willing to bring it up.

The silence at the dinner table was particularly pronounced.

“The soup is delicious,” Dale said softly, breaking the slightly awkward silence.

"Thank you," Lilia replied softly, her eyes still lowered, seemingly very interested in the food on her plate.

Ron ate silently, occasionally glancing up to look around before quickly turning his attention back to the plate in front of him.

His thoughts had already drifted to the next experimental project; today's dinner conversation was merely a brief pause in his daily routine.

Ailan's gaze swept between the three of them before she finally let out a soft sigh.

Summer is almost here.

The tree spirit spoke softly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "The black-topped flowers in the courtyard are about to bloom. Their flowering period is short, but they are absolutely beautiful."

"Yes, the rainy season will be here soon."

Lilia, who has a fairly high EQ, quickly joined the conversation:
"When I was a child, I loved waiting for the first rain of the rainy season. The fresh smell of the earth rising up always made me feel good."

Ron nodded, but did not join the conversation.

He quickly finished the last bite of his meal, wiped his mouth, and said, "The soup was indeed very delicious today. Well then, I have some things to take care of, so please excuse me."

After saying that, he got up and left, leaving a subtle silence at the dinner table.

Lilia watched Ron's departing figure, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Dair, would you like some more soup?" She turned to the little siren and gave her a gentle smile.

Ailan's branches swayed gently, a hint of worry in her eyes.

………………

Ron returned to the lab, gently closed the door, as if shutting out all external emotional interference.

At this moment, his attention was completely focused on the important experiment that was about to begin:

By combining the monarch's bloodline with abyssal matter, the charging progress of the substitute puppet can be further accelerated.

He walked to a locked cabinet in the corner of the laboratory and took out a small black leather case. This was a tool kit he had specially prepared for his research on the Abyss; each tool had been specially treated to ensure safe handling of Abyssal materials.

From the suitcase, he took out a series of specially made tools—energy isolation clamps, mental shielding gloves, a special cutting knife, and most importantly, a purification system.

This purification system was specially designed by Ron some time ago and consists of three core components: an energy extractor, an impurity separator, and a stabilization device.

He spent a lot of magic stones and time perfecting this system, all for this moment.

Through this system, he can extract useful energy and properties from abyssal materials while filtering out harmful contaminants and unstable factors, much like refining pure metals from ore.

“Let’s start with the lower-risk bone fragments.” Ron put on gloves and carefully took out a crystallized bone fragment.

This wasn't the first time he had handled abyssal materials, but he needed to remain highly vigilant every time.

The unpredictability of abyssal energy is one of its most dangerous characteristics.

Under the light, the bone fragments appear translucent blue-purple, with a complex crystalline structure flowing slowly inside, as if pulsating with life.

Ron placed the bone fragments into the energy extractor and started the device.

The device emitted a faint hum, and a blue energy beam began to slowly scan the surface of the bone fragment.

As the scan proceeded, a faint purple energy was extracted, flowed in the glass tube, and was eventually introduced into the separator.

The way this energy flows is quite peculiar; it doesn't simply flow like ordinary liquids, but rather presents a pulsating pattern, as if it possesses some kind of faint consciousness.

“Abyssal energy is indeed fundamentally different from ordinary energy.” Ron observed the energy flow in the tube:

"It is not just a form of energy, but more like something between matter and energy, even possessing a certain 'consciousness'. The 'frozen twisted fragments' mentioned in the Abyss Creatures Encyclopedia are indeed an apt description."

In the separator, the abyssal energy is further filtered.

The parts with strong corrosive and unstable characteristics were separated and stored in a special sealed container;
The relatively stable and usable portion is then introduced into the stabilization device.

The separator works on a principle similar to a complex chemical filtration system, but it processes not ordinary substances, but various energy states.

Each filter layer consists of different energy barriers that allow only energy of specific wavelengths and frequencies to pass through.

This design is an innovative result of Ron's combination of alchemy, potion-making, and elemental theory.

The stabilization device is even more sophisticated.

It uses a series of energy tuners to readjust the separated energy to a more harmonious state, reducing its volatility and tendency to change spontaneously.

After processing the bone fragments, Ron then processed the molted skin and plant seeds in turn.

Finally, it was the turn of the swamp patchwork tissue sample, which was the most dangerous one.

Ron activated an extra protective barrier for the laboratory specifically for this purpose.

He carefully removed the active tissue with special pliers and placed it into a larger treatment tank.

The tissue immediately began to wriggle violently, as if sensing danger.

Blurry faces emerged from its surface, emitting faint murmurs that sounded like cries for help or threats.

Ron ignored the anomalies and activated the energy extractor at its highest power.

A powerful energy beam shot directly into the center of the tissue, much more intensely than when dealing with the previous materials.

The organization emitted an indescribable shriek, twisting violently as it tried to escape.

The sound didn't travel through the air; it rang directly in Ron's mind, making him feel uneasy.

"Interesting. Even though it's just a small piece of tissue, it has retained its complete survival instincts and escape response."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ron's eyes:
"This level of autonomy is extremely rare in separated tissues. Perhaps this is one of the characteristics of abyssal creatures—even when decomposed, each part still retains some characteristics of the whole."

As energy extraction proceeds, the tissue gradually loses its vitality and eventually turns into a grayish-white solid substance.

The extracted energy is a thick, dark purple liquid that emits a faint fluorescence.

The flow of this liquid is extremely strange. Unlike ordinary liquids that follow gravity, it seems to have its own will, forming various abstract patterns inside the container.

"This is extremely dangerous."

Ron looked at the bottle of dark purple liquid with a serious expression: "It still retains some characteristics of the original organism and must undergo deeper processing."

He placed the liquid in a special alchemical apparatus and added several stabilizers.

These stabilizers are specially formulated mixtures of elements that can slow down fluctuations in abyssal energy, making it more stable.

The device operated for nearly half an hour, emitting various strange sounds and light effects, and finally produced a small bottle of transparent light purple liquid.

"It's basically safe now." Ron breathed a sigh of relief and arranged the four different bottles of treatment fluid on the workbench.

They each radiate a different light—the bone extract emits a cool blue glow;

The peeling essence is light green with a metallic sheen.

Plant seed extracts are a warm golden yellow;
The essence of the Swamp Composer is a transparent pale purple.

However, from certain angles, one can see tiny particles moving within them, like a group of microscopic creatures swimming in some unknown liquid.

"Now, it's time to witness a miracle."

Ron took a deep breath, took out the substitute puppet, and gently placed it in the center of the four bottles of Abyss Essence.

Then, he took out a fifth bottle of liquid from a specially made insulated container—a sample of “monarch bloodline” obtained from Trish’s servant, Tanuki Moon.

The blood was an unusually bright red.

Even after being left for a period of time, it still retains amazing activity, as if it had just been taken out of the blood vessel.

“The monarch’s bloodline is indeed extraordinary.” Ron was astonished by its vitality.
"It not only has amazing adaptability, but also extremely strong stability."

Ron recalled the experiment where he helped Tanuki Moon successfully transplant the venom glands of a lion scorpion.

The key to that success lay in the special blood flowing through the leopard woman's body.

"In theory, this blood should also be able to 'tame' abyssal energy, making it easier to absorb and utilize."

He carefully divided the Li Yue's blood into four equal parts and added them to the various abyssal essences.

The moment they were mixed, each bottle produced a different reaction.

When the bone extract is mixed with blood, the liquid begins to boil violently, and a layer of crystalline foam appears on the surface.

The molting essence has transformed into a metallic texture with unique patterns flowing across its surface.
When plant seed extracts come into contact with blood, they emit a faint buzzing sound, and the liquid turns into a translucent gel.

The most dangerous Swamp Patchwork Essence emits a piercing shriek the moment it comes into contact with blood, causing the liquid to swirl violently and form a miniature vortex.

Ron quickly took a step back, but did not panic.

He had anticipated all possible reactions and was prepared to respond.

"Perfect!" he exclaimed inwardly. "The monarch's bloodline is indeed able to stabilize the abyss energy. Now, it's time for the final fusion."

Ron retrieved several tools, including a specially made syringe and a set of miniature guide arrays.

He drew the four mixtures into the syringe in sequence and began to draw intricate rune patterns on the surface of the puppet, each stroke precise to the micrometer level.

These runes are not only channels for energy, but also a form of protection.

This ensures that energy can be safely absorbed by the puppet without causing unforeseen dangerous reactions.

After drawing the last rune, Ron aimed the syringe at a specific spot on the puppet's chest.

"let's start."

He took a deep breath and pressed the plunger of the syringe.

The mixed liquid was slowly injected into the puppet's body, and the runes immediately lit up, radiating a dazzling array of colorful light.

The puppet began to vibrate slightly, and the wood grain on its surface seemed to wriggle as if it were adapting to the new energy being injected.

The process lasted about ten minutes, during which Ron remained highly vigilant, closely monitoring every tiny change.

As the last drop of the mixture was completely absorbed, the runes on the puppet gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared completely.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but Ron knew that the real changes were just beginning.

"Let's see how it goes."

Ron focused his mind and sent a simple telepathic command to the puppet.

The puppet responded immediately, and its body began to undergo astonishing changes.

Its arms became translucent, covered with a thin layer of metallic scales;

The energy from plant seeds endows the puppets with a special regenerative ability;

Most astonishing was the energy display of the Swamp Pieceworker—a miniature vortex appeared on the puppet's chest.

The center of the vortex constantly emitted faint purple light, seemingly able to absorb the surrounding energy flow.

"We did it!" A rare hint of excitement flashed in Ron's eyes.

The substitute puppet not only perfectly absorbed the four types of abyssal energy, but also achieved perfect fusion through the medium of the monarch's bloodline.

Each type of energy can independently manifest its properties, and can also work together.

[Substitute Puppet Charge Progress +7%]

[Current charge: 50%/100%]

[The first stage of qualitative change has been achieved]

[Substitute Puppet Form Update: Basic Form → Active Form]

[Unlocked - Dual Interconnection Function]

The prompts on the panel made Ron nod in satisfaction.

Not only did the charging progress reach the critical 50% mark, but this charging also brought the substitute puppet to the first stage of qualitative change.

It evolves from the "basic form" to the "active form".

In this form, the puppet is more flexible and responds to commands more quickly.

It is no longer a simple controlled puppet, but has begun to show a certain degree of autonomy.

And that so-called "two-way transmission" capability...

Ron reached out and touched the puppet, feeling a strange sense of resonance.

This feeling is like establishing a deeper connection with a part of yourself.

Just as the right hand can sense the presence of the left hand, even though they are separate, they are still components of the same whole.

"With 50% charge, it's now possible to attempt the Witcher class change."

In his plan, the Witcher class change is a key milestone.

Now, this plan can finally be launched.
