Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 226 The Primal Wizard!

It was a palm-sized crystal ball, originally as clear as water, but now it gradually condensed a silvery-white light and began to slowly rotate.

"This is."

Trish opened her eyes wide, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.

This was the "magic resonance ball" that she and Ron had agreed upon.

Once someone becomes a formal wizard, the sphere will automatically sense the changes in the other person's magical energy fluctuations and react accordingly.

Her heart raced, and a complex, indescribable emotion surged within her.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could Ron have been promoted so quickly?

Trish approached the sphere and cautiously reached out to touch it.

Subtle energy fluctuations emanated from the surface of the sphere, a sense of unprecedented purity, like starlight converging into a river.

The moment she touched him, her fingertips felt a tingling sensation, as if countless tiny electric currents were passing through her skin and reaching her soul.

“How could he possibly do this, following the procedures for the key potion?” Trish muttered to herself, her mind beginning to reconcile the Crystal Spire’s strict rules and regulations.

When each candidate wizard applies for the Key Potion, they must first submit an application form, along with a letter of recommendation from their mentor and an evaluation report from the Sequence Assessment Committee.

This is followed by a three-month background check to ensure that applicants have no bad records or potential risks.

After initial screening, applicants must attend a formal evaluation meeting, where a committee of at least three Moon Wizards and one Dark Sun Wizard will conduct interviews and on-site tests.

Only by passing through layers of review can one obtain the extremely precious qualification to use the key potion.

Furthermore, once a candidate wizard obtains the right to use the key potion, this information will be conveyed to all major schools of thought through special channels.

“If Ron obtained the key potion in preparation for a breakthrough, his mentor couldn’t possibly not have told me.” Trish pressed her fingertips tightly against the crystal ball, her brows furrowed.

Corinna has a complex network of connections at the Crystal Spire, which allows her to always be among the first to obtain this kind of important information.

She would never allow her students to be unaware of such crucial intelligence, especially when it involved someone Trish had once cared about.

“Unless…” Tracy’s heart almost stopped for a moment as a bold guess quickly formed in her mind:
"Unless he didn't take the conventional route at all."

Her thoughts drifted back to the ancient records she had seen in the Crystal Spire archives, which described a dangerous path that had been almost obsolete—the path of authenticity.

An ancient method that does not rely on "key" potions, but directly achieves a breakthrough through a qualitative change in mental power.

“The Authentic Path,” Trish’s voice was almost inaudible, and as she uttered the word, a chill ran down her spine.

She recalled a long-forgotten case that her mentor had used to warn her about—a tragedy that had occurred twenty years ago.

Greenwater, the first in the Crystal Spire sequence, possesses two second-tier special talents, "Heart Anchor" and "Frost Affinity," and is hailed as a once-in-a-century prodigy.

He tried the authentic approach, but failed.

It wasn't a simple failure, but a catastrophic collapse.

Greenwater's mental world completely collapsed, turning him into an empty shell who could only lie in bed and needed assistance even for the most basic eating.

Twenty years have passed, and he still lies quietly in a special ward at the Crystal Spire Sanatorium, showing no signs of waking up.

Trish's fingers trembled involuntarily.

The last record of a successful ascension through the authentic path dates back 187 years, and that person is now the current master of the Crystal Spire.

His feat of breaking through to the level of a Grand Wizard in just over a hundred years shocked the entire Huan Yuan Continent.

"But that's an exception, an extreme exception."

Trish bit her lower lip, her heart churning with worry for Ron and a hint of jealousy she didn't want to admit.

"That successful person is said to possess three special talents, ranking among the top geniuses across several eras."

However, the crystal ball in front of him silently proclaimed one fact—Ron had indeed succeeded.

He not only tried the authentic path, but also successfully completed his ascension, becoming a true, official wizard.

“A madman,” Trish murmured to herself, unsure whether she was condemning or praising him. “A real madman.”

She was amazed by Ron's courage and achievements, and felt a deep admiration for him.

On the other hand, there was an uncontrollable jealousy and bitterness.

They are the same age, and she is just as talented, but she has already been left far behind.

"If we meet again, we will probably be from two different worlds."

Trish sighed softly, her eyes slightly warm.

The difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice is not only in strength, but also in status and perspective.

In the wizarding world, there is an insurmountable chasm between two major classes.

Even though she has already gained the attention of some mentors in the Crystal Spire, she might be able to obtain the qualification to use the Key Potion in another two or three years.

But by then, Ron may have already secured his position at the Morning Star level, or even moved towards a higher level.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and the silver-haired witch walked in gracefully.

She took off her mask and let out a slightly relieved sigh.

Corinna casually slipped off her boots and leaned back lazily on the sofa. The disfigurement marks on her face looked noticeably better.

"Tracy, I have a field mission in a month and I need you to accompany me."

Upon hearing this, the brown-haired girl stopped adjusting her mentor's boots and looked over with a puzzled expression.

"We need to go to the edge of the abyss to collect some rare materials. Get ready."

The Abyss? Trish paused for a moment, then nodded respectfully: "Yes, mentor."

She tried hard to control her voice, not letting her inner turmoil show.

Corinna's gaze passed over Trish and landed on the sparkling crystal ball on the table.

She seemed to stare for a few seconds, her lips twitching almost imperceptibly, as if she understood something, but she didn't ask.

"Be well prepared; the environment at the edge of the abyss is more dangerous than you imagine."

Corinna added, a hint of concern appearing in her voice for the first time: "Don't let your worries cloud your judgment."

Trish was startled, wondering if her tutor had noticed her emotional turmoil, but she still obediently lowered her head.

"I will do my best to prepare, mentor."

After Corinna left barefoot, the brown-haired girl turned her gaze back to the crystal ball, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

The crystal ball was still sparkling, its silvery-white light as pure and bright as the stars.

"Ron, you really won this bet."

She said softly, her fingertips tracing the surface of the crystal ball again: "A truly remarkable achievement. I may never catch up to you in this lifetime..."

Trish took a deep breath and straightened her back.

She didn't have time to dwell on her complicated emotions; her next goal was already clearly laid out before her:

She too must become a formal wizard, no matter how much effort it takes.

Then, the girl closed her eyes and began her meditation for the day.

Emerald green light slowly emerged from her body, outlining an exquisite energy field.

………………

Ron slowly opened his eyes, returning from deep meditation to the real world.

The conjunction of the stars is almost over, and the sky will soon return to calm, with only a few dim stars still twinkling.

A ray of morning light rose from the distant horizon, draping the dark, misty forest in a golden veil.

The spiritual transformation has been completed.

[Unlock Skills: Radiation Field, Super Magic Technique]

[Mental strength breakthrough to 5.0, "Mental Interference" → "Mental Blast"]

Congratulations! You have successfully advanced through the Authentic Path!

He could feel that his body and mind had undergone a qualitative change.

The feeling is like someone who has spent their entire life observing the world with only their right eye, and suddenly their left eye opens, making the world three-dimensional and clear.

Everything was so different: the colors were more vibrant, the sounds were clearer, the smells were richer, and even the tiny magical particles in the air could be clearly perceived.

"successful"

Ron muttered to himself, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Even though the panel had already confirmed it, he still found it hard to believe that he had actually accomplished this almost impossible feat—advancing to become a full-fledged wizard through the authentic path.

He stretched out his hand, looking at his slender fingers as if they belonged to a stranger.

Every cell in the body is cheering, every blood vessel is pulsating, and every wisp of spiritual energy is singing.

An unprecedented sense of integration and wholeness filled my body, as if all the fragments had finally found their right place and pieced together a perfect picture.

In particular, the meditative characteristic from the "devourer"—"projection of stars"—gave him an unprecedented sense of connection.

It was as if a bridge had been built between him and the starry sky, allowing him to directly draw upon the power of the stars.

Ron looked up at the sky and could sense that, as it was still in the late stages of the "Ring Conjunction," the "Star Projection" was in an active state.

It was as if there was a miniature universe within his body, with countless tiny starlight flowing through his blood, constantly replenishing him with pure magic.

As his gaze fell upon the location of "Hermit Star," a unique energy fluctuation emanated from that seemingly bright but actually incredibly distant celestial body, penetrating the barrier of the atmosphere and surging directly into his body.

This energy was cold and pure, as clear as snowmelt from high mountains, making his mind exceptionally sharp and clear.

The speed of thought processes has at least doubled, and understanding various complex concepts has become exceptionally easy.

"So this is the energy characteristic of Hermit Star."

Ron thought to himself, filled with a newfound awe for this ancient celestial body.

Even more mysterious is the impact of the "Annihilation Cluster".

When his gaze turned to the dark purple nebula region, a completely different kind of energy entered his body.

This energy is cold and aggressive, like a sharp black knife, cutting through the flow of magic and reshaping the energy structure.

Ron could sense that his destructive magical abilities had been significantly enhanced, as if he had received a blessing from some ancient being.

"Annihilation Cluster. Enhances the effectiveness of destructive spells, but also brings a certain amount of mental stress."

Ron analyzed the situation, feeling a slight stinging sensation at the edge of his thoughts. Clearly, this energy was both a gift and a test. But what surprised Ron the most was the difference between these two completely different, even somewhat opposing, stellar energies.

Instead of conflicting within him, they formed a wondrous balance, nourishing his newly formed, formal wizard body.

"The core of the 'star projection' strategy is balance and trade-offs."

Ron suddenly realized: "It's not about passively accepting the power of all the stars, but about actively choosing, guiding, and integrating those powers."

He felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

It wasn't just because of his successful promotion, but also because he finally truly understood the essence of this meditation method.

It is not merely a tool for absorbing energy, but a way to engage in a deep dialogue with the universe.

Ron stood up, feeling the new energy flowing through his body.

Compared to the narrow and limited pool of magic he had during his apprenticeship, he now possessed a vast ocean.

Magic is no longer a rare resource that needs to be used with caution; it has transformed into a continuously flowing river of power.

He raised his palm, and a ball of extremely pure light condensed in his palm.

It wasn't the slightly murky energy from before, but rather a nearly transparent, liquid crystal-like substance.

The ball of light danced at his fingertips, warm but not scorching, bright but not dazzling, demonstrating a perfect level of control.

"The elemental affinity has increased by at least two levels."

Ron silently assessed the situation, feeling both amazed and expectant: "This means that the effectiveness of the 'Radiant Ring' will be greatly enhanced."

He began to try out the new features he gained after his promotion.

First, there's the "Primal Circuit," a characteristic that creates a strange synergy with his Blood Knight class:
[Class synergy detected: Blood Knight (2-star) + Wizard - Primal (3-star)]
Get additional linkage bonus:

1. Improved efficiency of blood energy flow

2. The duration of the "Boiling Blood" skill has been increased.

3. Reduced side effects of bloodline skills

With a thought, Ron activated the "Boiling Blood" skill.

Instantly, a surge of heat erupted from his heart and spread throughout his body along his blood vessels.

But unlike before, this energy did not simply rampage through the body as it usually does.

Instead, it flows along the optimal path, like a well-trained dancer, with every step precise.

Ron could clearly perceive that the “Primordial Circuit” changed the way energy flowed in his body, creating an unprecedentedly efficient energy utilization mode.

After "Boiling Blood" was activated, his strength increased by at least double, and the duration was longer with fewer side effects.

“This feeling.” Ron clenched his fist, feeling the power within his muscles; a pure sense of power filled his entire body.
"It's as if every inch of my body has been reforged, every muscle fiber, every blood vessel, and even every cell is functioning at their best."

He tried to leap forward lightly, and his body immediately flew five meters at an astonishing speed, landing lightly with almost no sound.

Ron was secretly delighted. This enhancement was not only reflected in strength, but also in a qualitative leap in agility and coordination.

“A perfect fit with the Bloodline Knight,” Ron assessed in his mind, “which also means a significant improvement in all-around combat capabilities.”

Next, he tried to control that property called "radiation field".

Initially, he did not deliberately control the radiation, letting it flow naturally.

A faint energy field automatically formed around his body, about five meters in diameter, and had a translucent iris hue.

Ron noticed that this radiation seemed harmless to the plants, and even had a certain nourishing effect on them:

After being exposed to this radiation, the leaves of several decorative plants in the workshop became greener and the flowers began to bloom slightly.

At the same time, some precision instruments began to emit abnormal humming sounds, especially the alchemical instruments in the corner, where the liquid even began to slowly boil.

“I need to learn how to control this radiation,” Ron decided, and began to try to control the energy field.

Relying on years of mental training and the newly acquired Origin Circuit, he quickly mastered the technique of controlling the radiation range.

By adjusting the way and intensity of his mental energy output, he can expand the radiation field to a range of twenty meters or shrink it to cover only himself, as needed.

"This radiation field combined with the skills of a bloodline modifier"

[Class Collaboration Detected: Bloodline Modifier (2-Star) + Primal Wizard (3-Star)]
Get additional linkage bonus:

1. Increased success rate of bloodline modulation
2. Increased affinity of the radiation field for biological tissues
3. Capable of more subtle control over bloodline energy.

He recalled the difficulties he had encountered when he was modifying the bloodlines of Dale and Alan; those subtle energy fluctuations required extremely precise control to achieve the desired effect.

Now, radiation fields can precisely control the energy flow in the surrounding environment, providing a perfect background field for various delicate operations.

Whether it's the proportions of alchemical formulas or the purification of potions, one can benefit greatly from it.

"That's the beauty of professional collaboration."

Ron remarked, "Every new ability is not isolated; rather, it creates a unique synergy with existing skills."

But what intrigued him most at this moment was the "Mental Blast" characteristic.

He walked to a corner of the laboratory, where several laboratory mice were kept in a transparent barrier.

The small animals were leisurely munching on their food in their cages, completely unaware of their impending fate.

Ron condensed a wisp of spiritual energy into a spike and projected it at one of the white rats.

He carefully controlled his power output, not wanting to cause unnecessary damage.

"Oh!"

Without sound or light, the white rat's head exploded in an instant, splattering red and white matter all over the inner wall of the glass barrier.

The remaining white mice were frightened and frantically scurried around the cage, making sharp squeaking noises.

Ron frowned slightly; the level of precision far exceeded his expectations.

He originally intended to cause some degree of mental disturbance, but he accidentally destroyed the target's brain.

Clearly, this ability is far more destructive than imagined.

"Psychoblast and 'sonic oscillation' are further combined."

A dangerous thought flashed through Ron's mind:

"Theoretically, it is possible to create an extremely terrifying attack method—to continuously increase the power with the terrifying amplification of the echo, triggering a mental explosion within the target's body."

This type of attack is almost impossible to defend against because it bypasses most conventional defenses and directly attacks the soul and spirit itself.

………………

At this moment, the observation point is about 300 meters away from Ron's workshop.

Yuni and Hayek sat frozen in place, their expressions shifting from surprise to disbelief, finally settling into a near-ecstatic daze.

"This level of purity"

Yuni murmured to herself, her purple eyes wide with excitement, an unusual light gleaming deep within her pupils:
"It's simply unimaginable. Indescribable."

Her fingers trembled involuntarily; her hands, which had held the staff for years, now seemed to have lost control, like a beginner.

A breathtakingly pure "blessing" spread outwards like a tide, washing away the spiritual pollution accumulated by the two formal wizards over many years.

Yuni could feel that the filth that had accumulated deep in her soul year after year was being peeled away layer by layer by this pure power, like the spring breeze melting the winter snow.

A sense of almost painful pleasure even came from the depths of my soul, as if my pores, which had been clogged for years, had finally been completely cleared.

"Never before. An experience I've never had before."

Yuni murmured softly, her voice filled with undisguised satisfaction.

She was an elegant and restrained witch who rarely displayed such strong emotional fluctuations.

But at this moment, her defenses completely collapsed, leaving only her most instinctive reactions.

Hayek took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with undisguised fervor.

As an old wizard who had cultivated for hundreds of years, he was already used to restraint and calmness.

Any emotional fluctuation was seen as a weakness, which he carefully concealed beneath his outward calm.

But at this moment, the expression of being overwhelmed with joy and losing his composure was fully displayed on that weathered face.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, and his eyes even welled up with moisture—a reaction he had never shown in decades.

"I can feel that this one feedback alone has wiped out at least twenty years of pollution."

Hayek said in a low voice, his voice almost trembling:
"It's like someone put a piece of ice magic crystal into lava; all the gloom was instantly evaporated, leaving only pure freshness."

He took a deep breath, as if savoring the long-lost sweet air: "This purity even surpasses those recorded cases."

His fingers gently stroked his forehead, where a shadow had once lingered—the mental pollution from years of meditation had formed stubborn dark spots there.

But at that moment, Hayek could feel the shadow receding rapidly, like a thin mist meeting the morning light.

Eunice nodded as well; she was younger than Hayek and had accumulated relatively less pollution.

But the feeling at this moment is equally shocking, after all, as one of Ron's instructors, what she taught far exceeded Hayek's few consultations.

The feeling of being thoroughly cleansed is like soaking in a pool of clear spring water.

Every cell was rejoicing, and every wisp of spiritual energy became more active and pure than ever before.

"Primordial Wizard"

She repeated the name softly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

There was envy, admiration, and also a barely perceptible worry:

"If such favors were to continue to come, even Dark Sun-level wizards and even Grand Wizards would fight over them, right?"

Her thoughts drifted to the powerful figures in the Crystal Spire.

If they learned that a true primordial wizard had appeared in this remote place called the Black Mist School, they would probably immediately send an envoy, or even come in person to "offer their condolences".

Behind the outward courtesy and respect lies a covetousness and desire to control this rare resource.

Hayek's expression turned serious, as if he could read Yuni's mind:
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. Once the news gets out, Ron will probably become the target of competition among various forces."

His gaze fell on Ron's workshop, his mind churning with thoughts.

This young man's potential far exceeded his expectations. His advancement through authentic means was already astonishing enough, but the pure blessing he received was unprecedented.

"For him, this is both a blessing and a curse."

Yuni sighed, a rare tenderness appearing in her purple eyes:

"Pure grace will bring him protection, but it will also attract covetousness. The moment he became the Primal Wizard, he was destined to never live an ordinary life."

She thought of the original wizards in history, whose fates were mostly devoid of peace.

They are either courted by various powerful forces and eventually become affiliated with a large organization;

You can choose independence, but you'll face challenges and tests from countless covetous individuals, living in constant vigilance and precaution.
