Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 727 Obtaining the First Ancient Creature's Second-Ring Bloodline!
Georgina the Witch fell from the Silent Throne, her magic pressure dropping back to 9999. She looked up at the scene above the Silent Throne with resentment.

At this moment, she has lost the right to step onto this stage.

Despite her meticulous planning, she ultimately failed. The three magical spells of the New Textile Science were locked down by the opponent using a single second-circle botanical spell, "Generational Change."

When Georgina the Witch saw that she had come in third place, she felt a little lost and began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.

At that moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

Georgina the Witch looked up at her leader, the Moon Witch from Bonifacius University, who sighed.

"Georgina, you've done very well. Now, calm down and prepare to break through to become a true second-circle wizard."

"It's not your fault that you didn't win the championship this time. It's because Quinnjoll and the two contestants from Mount Golden Crown, these two outsider wizards, are indeed above the average level of the Silent Grail participants."

"With your level of skill, you would have been a champion in the previous edition, but in this edition, you can only rank third."

The Moon Ring Witch whispered, "The moment when the Starfield Sea chose the [Ascension Plan] was jointly selected by the great wizards of prophecy. This time is the moment when our Eastern Region has the strongest fortune in the last thousand years."

"Therefore, in this millennium, countless geniuses will emerge from all the major wizarding lands. This time, you've just encountered two exceptions. You've done very well. I don't think anyone will blame you."

"I just asked for you. Even His Majesty the Throne didn't expect that someone could use an old-fashioned spell, [Generational Alternation], which hardly anyone uses anymore, to directly evade the traps of our new textile science. His Majesty the Throne has a very high opinion of Locke Augustine, and personally praised him as an excellent breeder."

"His Majesty believes that he defeated you by virtue of his skill and talent as a breeder, and his profound understanding of botanical magic. If he had been in the previous Silent Grail War, he probably could have easily won this match. What's remarkable is that you have already posed a certain threat to him."

The Moon Witch said to the Georgina Witch, "Don't be too discouraged. You don't have to win to gain other people's approval."

“You have demonstrated the power of our new textile science.”

Georgina the Witch heard this in astonishment, and many spectators in the arena applauded her.

According to the tradition of the Silent Grail, if a contestant is eliminated from the competition, but the audience feels that his performance still reflects the level expected of the competition and has brought a dazzling display of magical modeling, then they will applaud his exit.

In gratitude to this wizard for bringing everyone a thoroughly enjoyable and spectacular display of massive magical modeling.

To Georgina's surprise, even though she lost, many wizards still applauded for her and expressed their admiration for her.

Many wizard spectators whispered among themselves, discussing the content of the competition and their gains, marveling at the power of Georgina Witch's new textile science and Locke Augustine's talent in breeding, which was simply terrifying.

"This year's Silent Grail Tournament is definitely the highest quality ever. That Locke was actually able to evolve a magical plant that had never been recorded as a second-ring variety into a second-ring magical plant in such a short time!"

"But I thought Georgina the Witch was going to win. I couldn't even imagine how I was going to escape from that new textile magic combination!"

"Yes. She's amazing. She managed to create four massive magic runes from 12,000 magic pressure. Moreover, the new textile magic system seems incredibly powerful. If we hadn't encountered such a genius breeder this time, I don't think we would have ranked third."

"Well... everyone can actually see her level. There's no need to judge her solely by the competition results. This time, Bonifacius University's demonstration of the new textile science's ultimate magic to the entire Yunze Wetland was quite successful. After all, several key criteria were there—12,000 magic pressure, possessing four ultimate magic runes, using four second-circle spells infused with ultimate magic runes in a short period of time, and the Destiny Weaving Machine hadn't even collapsed..."

"Energy dissipation, energy compatibility, and instantaneous magic pressure multiplier are all top-notch. I think there will be many outstanding students vying to enter this new textile discipline."

Georgina's pupils contracted slightly beneath the wooden witch mask; she hadn't expected that even in third place, she would still receive everyone's recognition.

She still managed to complete the task assigned to her by Bonifacio University.

It's at least basically finished.

The leader of the Moon Ring Witches patted her on the shoulder and laughed, "After today, everyone will remember you, Georgina. You are the witch with the wooden mask; everyone will remember you directly, not who your parents are."

Georgina the witch looked up at the sky and said regretfully, "Before I was knocked out of the Silent Plane by Locke, in order to be able to use four Great Magic Rune spells with a magic pressure of 12,000 for a short time, I could only spread the Fate Turbulence to the Silent Plane to reduce the energy dissipation rate of my Fate Weaving Machine."

"But in doing so, I may have accelerated Omega's arrival in that dimension."

"Looking back now, I realize that my actions were somewhat short-sighted. As a result, once my ultimate magic left the Silent Dimension, the entire Silent Dimension would be completely locked down by Omega!"

The Moon Witch casually said, "Your match is over. Don't worry about it. The most important thing is that, based on previous years' matches, Omega's arrival is unstoppable, and its power is increasing exponentially."

"No player can survive."

"So, at this stage, it's usually a contest of whose ultimate magic can withstand the apocalypse summoned by Omega the longest. Therefore, even if your actions trigger the apocalypse an hour or two earlier, it won't have much of an impact."

A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Moon Ring Witch leader.

"Back then, I perished in this apocalypse. An apocalypse of a medium-sized plane... even for a second-circle wizard, it's terrifying! Moreover, this was an apocalypse brought down by Omega."

"I still can't figure out why Omega's arrival was so fast. Normal disc-shaped creatures don't arrive in a plane so quickly, and they're not so unstoppable from start to finish."

"It's as if the dimensional barrier doesn't exist for it. Perhaps that's a special ability of that disc-shaped creature."

A flicker of fear and unease crossed the Moon Ring Witch's eyes.

Not far away, Rush, the leader of the Sun Ring Wizards of Quinjoll, snorted coldly, his expression indifferent as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

"If I were to encounter something like that again now, it would be nothing more than an apocalypse caused by the descent of mere disc-shaped creatures..."

Chad the wizard raised his eyebrows, revealing a speechless expression.

"How can you, as an adult, talk about encountering things that happened when you were a child?"

For a Sun Ring Wizard, an ordinary Second Ring Wizard is like his own child.

Team leader Chad chuckled, "Even if Omega himself stood right in front of you now, he couldn't do anything to you. But now it's just Edgar and Locke left. Brother Rush, who do you think will win this time?"

Rush Wizard glared at Chad Wizard, wanting to say something, but then he felt a little guilty when he thought of Locke's power of the Evolution Moon.

The Moon Cultivation Method is so powerful that he can't say for sure whether Edgar will win.

So he could only glare at the wizard Chad.

"Ten years have passed, and you're only a Moon Ring Wizard. Back then, I thought your mind was too active, making it difficult for you to specialize in your research."

Chad the wizard scoffed. "I've already tried my best. I work 24 hours a day!"

Wizard Rush seemed to have heard a joke, "What? You, a great wizard of the Moon Ring, only work 24 hours a day!"

"What a joke. No wonder it's been ten years and we're still only at the lunar ring stage!"

"I use clones to do research for at least 72 hours a day! Research ultimately depends on talent, but it also requires physical strength. Without physical strength and the ability to endure long hours, how can you publish papers, get projects, and earn titles!"

Rush the Wizard gave Chad the Wizard a look that said, "You're too lazy." Chad the Wizard was furious.

At that moment, the Moon Ring Witch looked at Georgina Witch, who was listening with a look of amazement, and said, "You will soon be joining the Second Ring Club, so welcome to our Second Ring Club in advance. Welcome to the more realistic wizarding world."

The Moon Witch pulled the Georgina Witch to sit and rest in the audience area, while glancing back at the direction of the Silent Throne.

The Third Ring Throne wizard from Boniface University, after recounting what had happened, spoke highly of the breeder named Locke.

He also mentioned one point!
Locke's immense magic was deeply connected to a special breeder's cultivation method. Judging from the situation at the time, the magical plants cultivated by that method should have received some kind of field bonus.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Locke still possessed enough magical power to resist the New Textile Trap, thus avoiding being eliminated immediately.

But this means that Jinmian Mountain has produced a very special breeding genius.

Its talent and expertise in the field of breeding will shine brightly in Yunze Wetland in the near future.

After all, Locke still has more than four years of experience at the Golden Crown Academy. Even considering that he might leave the station early, he still has special funding and key sub-projects to receive.

Both of these are reasons for a second-circle wizard to accept the first-circle grant, since it is tied to the Institute of True Knowledge rather than the first-circle wizard.

After all, the world of the second ring is so cruel that no wizard would choose not to take this special benefit that is given to first ring wizards.

As a result, Bonifacio University may need to collaborate with Locke University in the future.

The new textile science has fallen out with the magic weavers of the Rose Council, and there will be many more battles for academic status in the future.

It is essential to be on good terms with a breeding genius.

Because many new textile materials are extracted from the magical plants.

Especially since it's been rumored that the other party has had a conflict with some people in the Rose Council because of the wizard shoes. After all, the market for wizard shoes has always been dominated by the Rose Council and its subordinate wizarding organizations.

The Moon Ring Witch gazed at the torrential rain in the Silent Dimension, a scene as if the sky were collapsing.

"I wonder who will win this time. His Majesty the Throne has given me the opportunity to get in touch with Edgar. Edgar's ability to cultivate perfect tree people shows that he is quite talented in breeding. It's just that he has a bias and is not as good as the breeder Augustine."

.........

In the silent dimension, torrential rains poured down, the Milky Way overflowed, the earth groaned, and countless cities were submerged.

This is the end.

Locke and Edgar exchanged a glance across the sky. Now it was just the two of them, and only the two of them remained.

At this very moment, a celestial river also falls from the Dharma Realm.

The great flood will submerge the entire Silent Dimension!
At the same time, the Perfect Tree Tree Man suddenly unleashed the "All Things Return to the Tree" spell on these great floods, causing a large amount of water to concentrate at its roots.

This temporarily alleviated the damage caused by the great flood to this plane.

At the same time, a large amount of water vapor was transformed into a magical tide, causing leaves to fall one by one. Then Edgar activated the Life Spear Array!

One after another, long spears of life attacked the blue light ring of Omega located in the sky.

Omega burst into laughter. "The end of the world will come!"

"Hahahaha...The world is flooded..."

Edgar snorted coldly. With the help of two assistants, he had already added a large amount of magic runes to his third spell, which was the second-ring upgraded version of [Same Breath, Same Branch], [Same Branch, Same Root]!
【Same Branches, Same Trees】 allows a wizard to combine the effects of two botanical spells, making the use of one spell model equivalent to using two spell models simultaneously, with the effects of the two spell models completely superimposed.

He used [Twin Branches], combining [Life Piercing Slash] and [Life Spear Array], which resulted in every branch that the Perfect Treant broke off from the canopy and shot out being not a first-ring Life Spear, but a second-ring Life Spear + Life Piercing Slash.

Hundreds of second-circle level spells pierced through Omega's eerie blue light in one go and attacked its ever-descending main body.

The Perfect Treant launched a continuous barrage of attacks.

Edgar exploited this bug, rendering the ultimate magic useless if it wasn't powerful enough.

After all, no matter how powerful a spell is with the addition of Great Magic Runes, it still relies on its own Great Magic to function. Just like when Georgina the Witch used four Great Magic Rune spells in succession, it brought the Spinning Machine of Fate to the brink of destruction.

But at this moment, Edgar is using the mechanism of "All Things Return to the Tree" to absorb a large amount of floodwater and continuously generate magical tides, which allows him to forcibly use this magic for a long time.

This resulted in the powerful magic transforming into a giant sword shooting towards the sky, which remained for a considerable period of time.

Edgar could see it clearly. 'This move is powerful, but the Perfect Treant's energy dissipation is also increasing.'

'If this continues, the tree-man will collapse and rot. It will start rotting from the imaginary root, and then…'

"And this move won't work on Locke. His Evolution Moon is a god-tier weapon in the Civil War; if I attack him, I'll only make him awaken the Treant."

Edgar looked at the disc-shaped creature on the horizon.

"Ultimately, why did that disc-shaped creature arrive so quickly? I'm so unwilling to accept this situation until it's resolved!"

"Something's definitely wrong! First, we need to stop the monster in the flood from getting closer and hold on as long as possible!"

At this moment, on the other side, Locke also held the Sea Gold Sand, and a large number of Dharma Realm Tree People came out to protect him.

Because the Dharma Realm Tree Man and the Sea Gold Sand in his hand have both adapted to the Fallen Rain Realm, Locke is currently quite at ease.

After all, due to environmental adaptation, the problem isn't too big.

only……

He could adapt all the way, leisurely playing poker and Dou Dizhu with Omega in the Fallen Rain Realm, but not in the Silent Dimension!
This dimension is facing the end of the world!
Locke pondered, "This can't go on. If the world ends, what will become of my fur?"

"I should...wait..."

Locke felt a jolt, as if some bloodline within him was rapidly developing towards the second ring, and the advanced meditation technique within his consciousness suddenly activated automatically, causing him to connect to the natural force plane.

"It's a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat... What happened? Did I accidentally meet the criteria for a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat to advance to the second-ring creature level?!"
