Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 293 The King of Magical Plants!

Inside the central control room, Locke's eyes lit up with a hint of joy. The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the center of the amethyst matrix, followed by the entire amethyst matrix exploding.

The crystal ball shattered into pieces and flew in all directions.

The fragments, like the sharpest blades, were embedded in the ground, the walls, and the laboratory equipment.

However, those fragments, when they were about three inches in front of Locke, were all turned into chip fragments by the pale green natural energy shield and never reached Locke.

This is the greatest advantage of a first-ring wizard: the permanent defensive force field that surrounds them automatically protects them.

An apprentice-level wizard fighting a first-ring wizard is like an unarmored person facing a cannon; it's virtually impossible to break through the first-ring wizard's permanent defensive magic head-on.

"I almost forgot, the amethyst matrix has a limit to the amount of magical pressure it can withstand. It actually shattered the amethyst matrix." Locke said, "A person with more than 1,000 mana is an ordinary formal wizard, and a person with more than 3,000 mana is a wizard whose spiritual power is vaporized."

Locke stretched out his right hand, and there was a ring of vaporized spiritual energy swirling around his palm, which looked like a white mist enveloping his hand.

Mental power should be invisible. Even demonic pressure is just the outward radiation of mental power and the pressure generated by that radiation.

The four stages of a first-ring wizard—ordinary, vaporized, liquefied, and crystallized—are a process of materializing a wizard's spiritual power.

After crystallization, it will also give birth to a truly mature and materialized spiritual power.

Locke was just a wizard apprentice before, so he didn't know much about the materialization of spiritual power.

We'll have to return to the academy and enter the first ring of the wizarding area to find out.

Locke said, "Because I became the Guardian of Nature and received the power of the World Tree, I actually skipped the stage of an ordinary formal wizard at the moment of breakthrough, and my spiritual power was vaporized."

“It was a pleasant surprise.”

The difference between a vaporization wizard and an ordinary wizard is enormous; you can tell just by looking at the difference in their magical power.

Locke checked his physical condition and found that he looked younger and his physical condition had returned to its peak. All the residual drug in his body had been cleared away.

The only problem is that the abyssal energy that already exists independently within its body and has formed its own cycle is actually increasing instead of decreasing, growing from the original 100 to 500.

500 points of high-quality mana are enough to support the mental strength of an independent first-class wizard apprentice.

The proportion of abyssal energy has actually increased compared to the apprentice stage.

"What's going on?" Locke fell into deep thought. "Could it be that the residual potion from the Eye Demon Lord in my body has increased the proportion of my Abyss Energy? That's impossible. I calculated it, and even according to the most ideal formula, it's impossible for it to increase by this much."

"But the energy I received most before was the primal force of nature."

"Could it be that the abyssal energy has some special mechanism that I'm unaware of?" Locke sensed trouble, even though the abyssal energy seemed insignificant at the moment.

However, if one's magical power increases further, and the abyssal energy also increases and continues to rise in proportion, then the problem will become quite serious.

However, that would be a long time from now.

Locke wasn't in a hurry.

All formal wizards have some side effects. A formal wizard without side effects is unlikely to appear unless they have received some kind of all-encompassing inheritance.

As a certified wizard, I'm sure I can figure out this little bit of stuff.

Locke said, "From the current perspective, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks for me. I have gained 500 magic pressure out of thin air, and my combat power has increased further."

"Moreover, I have found the location of the abyssal energy circulation within my body."

At this moment, Locke closed his eyes. The galaxies within his sea of ​​consciousness spun rapidly. The planet represented by his own permanent defensive field was located at the position of Jupiter, while the planet represented by the abyssal energy was located at the position of Saturn. Both were larger than the planets represented by the spell models. This was the symbolic location of the abyssal energy within his sea of ​​consciousness after its deep involvement.

Within his body, the abyssal energy appeared in his eyes and formed a certain cycle, transferring from his left eye to his right eye and then from his right eye to his left eye. In this process, the abyssal energy could be slowly increased.

Locke realized that his eyes were drawing energy from a void, just as he was drawing natural primal force from a natural plane when using advanced meditation.

"Abyssal energy is really strange; once you get it, you can't shake it off."

“However, without it, I wouldn’t have been able to advance to a formal wizard so quickly,” Locke said. “After returning to the academy, go to the library and look up articles about abyssal energy to see if anyone has encountered a similar situation to mine.”

"While you're at it, also check what problems might arise from the fact that so much ethereal element is mixed within your spiritual energy."

Currently, I have two major historical issues stemming from my efforts to become a formal wizard.

First, the spiritual energy is mixed with many etheric elements.

Second, abyssal energy.

Of course, in a sense, this is still good. Locke knows that some formal wizards will undergo extensive modifications to their bodies and souls in order to advance to the next level. As a result, after they advance to the level of formal wizards, they will find that they have various problems and need to spend time to repair them.

For the time being, these two problems of mine seem to have no side effects, only benefits.

Locke looked at the execution hammer mushroom beside him. The hammer mushroom was about the size of a long hammer. The surface of the mushroom was black, but there were rings of white triangular patterns on the top of the mushroom, which made the hammer mushroom look very dangerous.

In fact, the hammerhead mushroom, as a type of magical plant, is indeed very dangerous.

Locke opened his right palm towards the ground, and the Hammerhead Mushroom on the ground automatically flew into Locke's hand.

First-ring magical plants are incomparable to apprentice-level magical plants. First-ring magical plants possess a unique biological trait that is completely different from that of apprentice-level magical plants.

That is, the surface of each cell inside the Ring of Magic Plant has wood element crystal clusters.

Wood element clusters are the crystallization of wood element fibers. These wood element clusters resemble upright spears or other shapes, and are distributed across the surface of every cell layer of the Ring of Magic Plant.

This will cause three changes.

First, one cannot eat a first-ring magical plant. Because of the wood element crystal clusters, eating a first-ring magical plant is like eating countless sharp blades, and the creature will die quickly.

Secondly, the defensive power of a first-level magical plant far exceeds that of an ordinary apprentice-level magical plant.

Third, and most importantly, every cell of the first-ring magical plant has been greatly strengthened. Each cell of this first-ring magical plant possesses high pressure and high reactivity characteristics. Due to the wood element crystal clusters, every cell is constantly undergoing natural magical structural component reactions that are unimaginable to ordinary magical plants.

Like tiny, high-pressure reactors.

Therefore, a first-ring magical plant possesses a natural power that overwhelms ordinary magical plants. In the wild, it is the king of magical plants and has the ability to harm a first-ring wizard.

This is at least true in the southeastern corner region, where the magical tides are relatively low.

Its magical power, generated by hundreds of natural magical structural components in countless tiny high-pressure reactors, is comparable to a first-level magic.

Of course, the magical power possessed by a first-ring magical plant is generated in a different way than the magical power generated by wizards through spell models and their sea of ​​consciousness.

The two are not even the same thing.

Therefore, the magic inherent in a first-level magical plant can only be described as a first-level spell.

Only a first-circle wizard, when using plant magic, can truly unleash the power of those first-circle magical plants.

Of course, only a first-ring wizard with immense power can tame this king of magical plants!
