I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 221 Messages and Promotion Requirements

Only after dealing with this matter did Jemin finally relax.

He leaned back in his comfortable chair and began browsing the magic network terminal in the laboratory, looking at the various information accumulated over the past fifty years.

Previously, he had only briefly reviewed the monitoring records related to spatial stability, but now that he had calmed down, Jemin realized that he had an unusually large amount of work to do.

Just like the message list on the terminal, besides the information David sent about the handover of supplies and some research progress, as well as the various transaction records from the other side of the border over the past fifty years.

The most prominent messages came from his two friends, Amy and Victor.

The two left very similar messages, with each person leaving two messages.

The first comment was made about forty years ago.

In terms of the content, they said that they had completed the previous round of military service and originally planned to come and see Jemin and exchange their experiences.

Unfortunately, Jemin was still in the distant Frost Dimension, busy with the arduous task of post-war statistics, and was unable to get away.

So, they could only leave a message, asking Jemin to come and get together with them when he returned.

The other piece of information came four or five years after the first.

After waiting for several years, the two found that there was still no sign of Jemin returning, so they left another message saying that they had decided to start a new round of military service.

Victor's message was worded in a more tactful way.

He simply told Jemin that once they completed this new round of military service, they would essentially be able to completely fulfill the long military service contract they had signed with the academy when they enrolled.

Then they will gain true freedom and be free to choose their future path.

Amy's comment, however, was much more direct.

In an unquestionable yet expectant tone, she urged Jemin to "wait for them."

After they return from this military service, the three of them will travel together as free wizards to embark on a real adventure in a wider dimensional battlefield.

As Jemin read their messages, especially the confidence that Amy exuded in her words, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Judging from the tone of the messages, it seems that both of them have gained a great deal during their decades of military service.

Presumably, their strength and vision have greatly improved, and they feel that they can catch up with or even surpass themselves.

Although Jemin was also very confident.

After all, in the past fifty years, he had experienced the extraordinary adventure of the living dimension and studied and learned a great deal of knowledge.

Their own progress probably far exceeds their imagination, and they do not think they can be caught up with so easily.

However, seeing his friend able to pull himself together and find his way again on the cruel path of wizardry was a source of joy and good fortune for him.

He simply replied to the two with a message, informing them that he had returned and wishing them a successful military service.

After replying to some other messages that needed to be answered, Jemin carefully inspected, maintained, and upgraded the defense system of the Golden Garden, the energy cycle of the underground laboratory, the personnel arrangements within the territory, and even the Purgatory Sulfur Plane assigned to him. Finally, Jemin finished dealing with all the external affairs.

More than ten days later, Jemin returned to the laboratory. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind completely, and officially began preparing for his advancement to level two wizard.

Of the three core conditions required for advancing to the second-level wizard level, after fifty years of meditation and accumulation in the Frostfire Plane, Jemin's mental power had already completely filled the "Ring of Truth," meeting the hardware standards for advancement.

He has also prepared the knowledge base for the much larger and more complex knowledge system needed to rebuild the "Ring of Truth" through the massive amount of information he has come into contact with over the past fifty years, as well as through his study and research in his spare time.

Now, only the last and most crucial step remains—to bring one's soul and body to a state of "extreme activity."

This requirement is essentially to lay the foundation for a second-level wizard to advance to a third-level wizard in the future.

Because only a highly active soul and body can more clearly perceive the changes in the ubiquitous "rules" within the plane.

This will prepare us for future rule selection and research.

Of course, in practical terms, an extremely active body and soul also allow wizards to better perceive and connect with the elemental forces around them.

This significantly lowers the "threshold" for wizards to manipulate elemental power, making spellcasting faster and consuming less energy.

Furthermore, if the wizard chooses a suitable system, he can even briefly enter an "elementalized" state during battle.

However, based on conversations between Jemin, Clark, and Viola, they do not recommend relying too heavily on this "elementalization" method during combat.

According to those two, the so-called "body elementalization" seems to make one immune to most physical damage.

However, in reality, if it encounters a physical attack with a large enough charge or with special rules attached, it can still be easily defeated.

Moreover, when faced with elemental attacks of the same or opposite origin, the elementalized body becomes more vulnerable and suffers double the damage.

This ability is only good for crushing noobs.

Using it rashly against an opponent of the same level is simply suicidal.

Unfortunately, during interdimensional wars, wizards spend most of their time fighting enemies of the same or even higher level.

Therefore, Jemin didn't pay much attention to this so-called "combat advantage".

What he truly values ​​is the immense help that "extreme activation" provides for perceiving rules.

However, with the existing technology of the wizarding civilization, most methods are insufficient to "maximize" the activity of the body and soul and maintain it at a normal level.

The few technologies that can maintain normalcy come at an exorbitant cost, requiring the consumption of massive amounts of rare resources or extremely dangerous bloodline modifications.

Even with Jemin's wealth, after reviewing the information, he felt he couldn't afford it at all.

Therefore, mainstream wizards came up with a clever yet effective method—before advancing in rank, they would undergo intensive "modification surgery" or take special "potions" to put their bodies and souls into a temporary, unstable "activated" state.

The promotion ceremony was then immediately held.

By leveraging the "life sublimation" phenomenon that occurs during the leap in life level upon promotion, this temporary state is permanently stabilized and fixed!
