Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 44: Sonic Oscillation Completes "Microripple" Characteristics

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time.

"It seems I've found the right ally." Andre raised his teacup, using it instead of wine, his eyes gleaming with hope. "Cheers to our cooperation!"

"To the future too!" Ron raised his glass in response.

The sound of tea and water clinking is crisp and pleasant. Friendship and trust are more precious than anything else here.

"Starting tomorrow, I need to prepare a list of ingredients for the potions," Ron said as he sipped his tea. "Do you have any way to get dragon beard grass? I need it to make the Qi and Blood potion."

"Dragon beard grass isn't a problem," Andre replied casually. "But what's on Mrs. Allen's list? Maybe I can help."

Hearing Andre's question, Ron wanted to reveal a little about the task assigned to him by Mrs. Allen, so that Andre, whose network of connections was much wider than his, could come and help.

But after looking up at the darkening sky outside, he decided to make an appointment to discuss the cooperation in detail tomorrow.

Seeing Ron's expression, the Thirteenth Prince, who was good at observing people's expressions, immediately understood what he meant. He put down his teacup and said goodbye.

After seeing Andre off, he locked the door and took out the simple stardust liquid he had previously refined under the guidance of Mrs. Allen from the table.

There was a little over half of the silver liquid left in the bottle, which glowed slightly in the candlelight.

"Let's save the artificial star dew for now. It's not time to use it yet."

Ron muttered to himself, glancing at the bottle of precious potion given by Holt, which was placed deep in the cabinet.

He already had a plan in mind - after Mrs. Allen handed him "The Whispers of the Star Eater", he would use this bottle of higher quality star dew to accelerate his breakthrough.

Given the complexity of that gem-level meditation method, it would take a long time to find a breakthrough simply by hard work. Only with the support of potions can the breakthrough be achieved faster.

"The remaining simple stardust liquid should be enough for me to advance my sonic spells to an entry-level level that can be used in actual combat."

Ron took a deep breath, took out Darend's notebook, and prepared to use the remaining stardust liquid to help break through the final bottleneck:
【Sonic Oscillation (Prototype 87/100)】

He thought for a moment, opened the window to make sure it was late at night and no one was around, then took out a piece of dead wood he had brought back from the herbal medicine store for use in experiments and placed it on the table as a target.

Carefully pouring out a small spoonful of simple stardust liquid, Ron slowly drank it.

The cool feeling spreads in the throat and quickly spreads to the whole body.

He could feel that his mind had become unusually clear and his thinking had become more flexible.

Although according to Mrs. Allen, its effect is only a youthful version of the real Stardust Liquid, it is sufficient for his current mission.

[Simple Stardust Liquid - Effect: Slightly increases mental stability; slightly increases spellcasting accuracy]

He sat cross-legged on the bed, opened Darend's notebook, and carefully studied the unsolved parts.

Under the influence of the stardust liquid, those originally obscure symbols and notes now become clearer and easier to understand.

As time went by, he gradually understood the essence of things——

The core of Darend's sonic spell is not simply to call on vibrations, but to guide the resonance of magic particles in the air through specific "mental waves" to form offensive sound waves.

"I see."

With the help of the mental stability brought by the simple stardust liquid, Ron closed his eyes and began to construct a model of the sonic spell in the mental space.

It was no longer a simple teardrop shape, but a spiral energy structure composed of three layers of mental power of different densities intertwined and rotating to form a complex but stable energy vortex.

The angle and speed of each layer's rotation were extremely particular. He followed the instructions in Darend's notes and adjusted them one by one with the clear senses brought by the stardust liquid.

"It feels like tuning an instrument string by string, rather than simply constructing a spell," he thought to himself.

With the infusion of mental power, the spiral energy vortex began to expand, emitting a slight humming sound as it rotated.

At first, it was just a faint vibration, but soon, as Ron began to input magic power, the vibration gradually acquired substantial destructive power and began to disturb the surrounding air.

……

[Spell Construction (Beginner) Experience +1]

Ron didn't stop and continued to adjust the direction and intensity of the energy flow.

After changing his job to [Wizard Apprentice (One and a Half Stars)] and acquiring the professional skill of Spell Construction, he clearly felt that he could perfect the prototype of sonic oscillation much faster.

He discovered that when mental power vibrated at a specific frequency, it could not only construct spell models more efficiently, but also significantly reduce magic power consumption.

“It’s like finding some kind of resonant frequency.”

Ron, who was immersed in constructing the spell model, did not notice that the wooden block on the table beside the bed suddenly vibrated slightly.

When he came to his senses, he discovered that his mental power had unconsciously constructed a complete sonic spell model and had begun to affect the surrounding objects.

"Is it possible that I was able to do this unconsciously? It seems that the effect of the simple stardust liquid is better than I thought."

He quickly focused his attention and took control of this unexpected gain.

"Sonic shock!"

Ron recited the name of the spell in his mind and released a concentrated mental force to push the spiral energy vortex.

A ripple that was almost invisible to the naked eye shot out from his palm and hit the wooden block on the table.

Silently, countless tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the wood, and then the entire piece of wood shattered into a pile of sawdust.

[Sonic Oscillation (Prototype) Experience Points +8]

[Breakthrough! Sonic Oscillation (Prototype 100/100) → Sonic Oscillation (Proficient 1/200)]

[Additional feature acquired: Microripple (harder to detect when attacking)]

"successful"

He couldn't believe that he had mastered the sonic magic so quickly, and he had crossed the entry threshold and directly advanced to the proficiency level, so that he directly gained the additional characteristics of the skill.

Perhaps it was because I had started perfecting this spell model from a rough conception.

Thinking of this, Ron reached out to touch the wood chips and found that they had been shaken into fine dust that could almost be called wood powder. The damage was far more thorough than it appeared on the surface.

What surprised him even more was that the magic power consumption of this spell was unexpectedly low - it only used about 0.2 magic power, but caused a destructive effect comparable to most offensive spells.

Another advantage of this spell is that it is almost silent during activation and will not arouse too much vigilance, making it a great tool for ambushing people.

"No wonder Oliver is so interested in this kind of magic"

Ron thought to himself, "If it's true as Mrs. Allen said, combining it with the curse could indeed create an attack method that is almost impossible to defend against at the apprentice level."

The thought made him both excited and wary.

This power will have completely different results in the hands of different people.

"Fortunately, I am no longer a weakling who can't even lift a finger to tie a chicken."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky.

This newly added "sonic vibration" may be another important trump card for him in this dangerous black fog jungle.

He drank the remaining simple stardust liquid in the cup and gently closed his eyes:
"Now all I need is 'The Whispers of the Star Eater'. Once I gather the materials on the list, perhaps I can move on to a higher level."
