Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

At 7:30 a.m., the sunlight had not yet fully penetrated the clouds.

The gray building of the Jiangzhou City Supernatural Abilities Management Bureau was inconspicuous in the morning mist.

The exterior walls are ordinary concrete structures without any decoration, except for a metal antenna standing on the roof, with a silver eagle and flame emblem embedded at the top.

Wei Song stood at the entrance of the building and looked up.

The gatekeeper was an elderly man with gray hair, wearing a dark gray uniform, sitting in the guard booth reading a newspaper.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Wei Song, his gaze falling on the silver badge on his chest.

"A newcomer?"

The moment he opened his mouth, a pungent, smoky aroma wafted out.

Wei Song held his breath slightly and nodded.

"Go inside, there's a reception desk in the lobby on the first floor."

The old man lowered his head and continued reading the newspaper; he had seen this scene far too many times.

Wei Song pushed open the door and walked into the hall, where the scene suddenly changed.

The hall was spacious, with dark non-slip floor tiles and rows of fluorescent tubes overhead, emitting a cool white light.

On the wall directly opposite the entrance, there is a huge display screen that scrolls various information.

"Today's duty roster for the Third Patrol Team of Dongcheng District..."

"North Suburbs Fracture Monitoring Station Report: Energy Fluctuations Stable..."

"Bounty Mission Update: Hunt down 'Eternal Life Cult' infiltrators, priority given to those with level 2 or higher supernatural abilities..."

On the left side of the lobby is a row of windows where several people in uniforms are handling business.

To the right are several rows of metal benches, where seven or eight people are sitting, some with their eyes closed, others talking in hushed tones.

Wei Song's gaze swept over them.

These people all carry a special energy fluctuation, which, although restrained, can still be vaguely sensed.

"You are... Wei Song?" A gentle female voice came from the side.

Wei Song turned his head to look.

She was a young woman in her mid-twenties, with shoulder-length short hair and thin-rimmed glasses.

She was wearing a dark gray uniform skirt, holding an electronic tablet in her hand, and wearing a gentle smile on her face.

"I'm Lin Wei, in charge of new employee registration." She walked up to Wei Song and extended her right hand.

"You can call me Sister Lin."

Wei Song reached out and shook her hand; her palm was soft.

"Come with me." Lin Wei turned around and walked towards the corridor deep in the hall.

Wei Song followed behind her.

The corridor is wide, with light gray walls on both sides and a recessed ceiling light every ten meters.

Portraits of past directors hang on the wall, with their names and terms of office listed below.

The earliest one was taken three years after the Great Cataclysm.

The man in the photo is wearing an old-fashioned military uniform, and his eyes are sharp, as if they can pierce through the photographic paper.

There are also some instruments embedded in the walls on both sides of the corridor.

Some are cameras with lenses made of light purple crystal.

There were also a few that looked like old-fashioned thermometers, with silver runes on the scale, and the surface of the instruments would occasionally flash with a faint light and emit a soft "beep" sound.

"That's an energy monitoring device."

Lin Wei noticed Wei Song's gaze and turned her head to explain.

"To monitor energy fluctuations inside the building in real time, preventing anyone from using supernatural abilities here, or... from being contaminated."

Her eyes were dim, and her voice was low.

"Two years ago, something happened. A level three Grandmaster was corrupted by the abyss aura during a mission. He didn't report it and suddenly lost control in the rest room after returning."

"Three Level II and seven Level I deaths occurred. After that, the monitoring equipment covered the entire building."

Wei Song gave a soft "hmm" and didn't ask any further questions.

The two walked to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a metal door with a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflected their figures.

Lin Wei raised her hand and pressed it on the recognition panel by the door.

With a beep, the door slid open silently.

It was a small room, about 20 square meters.

Two desks were placed against the wall, with documents and electronic devices piled on them.

In the corner stood a device about half a person's height, with a silver-white metal casing and a palm-sized crystal plate embedded in the front.

The crystal plate is transparent, with fine rune patterns inside.

"Sit down," Lin Wei said, pointing to the chair opposite the desk.

Wei Song sat down as instructed.

Lin Wei sat down opposite him, placed the electronic tablet on the table, and swiped her finger across it.

"First, register your basic information." She looked up at Wei Song.

"Name, age, place of origin, family information... these were collected on-site last night, let me check them."

She read out a string of information, and Wei Song nodded in confirmation.

There are no errors or omissions.

"it is good."

Lin Wei tapped a few times on the electronic board, and the screen moved to the next item.

"Next is the ability test." She stood up and walked to the machine in the corner.

"This is an energy peak detector. It can measure the strength and stability of the supernatural power within you. Just place your palm on the crystal plate."

Wei Song walked over and stood in front of the instrument.

The crystal plate gleamed with a pale blue light, and runes flowed slowly within it.

He raised his right hand, his palm touching the crystal plate; it felt icy cold.

The next second, the inside of the crystal panel suddenly lit up.

The light spread rapidly along the rune pattern from the point of contact between the palm and the rune.

The instrument emitted a low hum, and the display screen on top lit up, showing lines of data.

[Energy peak detection in progress...]

[Test Completed]

[Current Energy Level: Early Awakening Stage]

Energy stability: High

[Awakening Progress Assessment: 10%]

After the data was frozen, Lin Wei looked at the display screen, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"10% in the early stages of awakening... You only awakened last night, and you've already stabilized at this level?"

She turned to look at Wei Song, her gaze filled with inquiry.

"People who have just awakened usually have disordered energy, and it takes several days or even weeks for it to stabilize."

"Your self-control... is very strong."

Wei Song withdrew his hand, and the light on the crystal plate slowly dimmed.

"It might be related to the thrill of facing life and death."

A flicker of lingering fear crossed his eyes. "I was tied up back then, and I was about to die..."

Lin Wei lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Awakening in dire circumstances can indeed give rise to a stronger instinct for control; there have been instances of this before."

She walked back to her desk, took a form from the drawer, and handed it to Wei Song.

"This is a registration form for types of superpowers. The energy peak meter can only measure intensity, not specific type. You need to fill it out yourself."

"Don't worry, the organization only keeps a backup of each person's type of superpower; it will not be made public."

Wei Song took the form; it felt solid to the touch, with light gold anti-counterfeiting lines along the edges.

How many columns are there in the table:

[Ability Name] [Ability Type (Energy/Mental/Enhancement/Special)] [Initial Manifestation] [Potential Development Direction]...

He glanced at it, picked up the pen on the table, and began to fill it out.

[Superpower Name: Thermal Energy Control]

[Special Ability Type: Energy]

[Initial manifestations: condensation, compression, and release of heat energy, resulting in a high-temperature attack]

[Potential development directions: temperature field manipulation, thermal shields, energy attribute conversion]

[Note: Awakened in a near-death situation, currently controllable within a range of approximately ten meters, with a maximum temperature of approximately 1500 degrees Celsius.]

After he finished writing, he handed the form to Lin Wei.

Lin Wei took it and glanced at the words. When she saw the words "thermal energy control", her pupils contracted slightly.

When I saw the "highest temperature" again, my breathing clearly paused for a moment.

She looked up at Wei Song, her surprise barely concealed.

"Thermal energy control..."

She repeated those four words in a low voice, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of the form.

"This is an extremely rare ability, according to the ability potential table summarized by the Administration Bureau..."

She turned around, pulled a thick booklet from the bookshelf behind her, and quickly flipped to a certain page.

The booklet's inner pages are filled with densely packed tables and charts.

She pointed to a line of text: "A-level potential".

Wei Song looked at Lin Wei and asked, "How is this potential categorized?"

Lin Wei closed the booklet and sat back down in her chair.

"According to Da Yan's summary, they are divided into six levels: S, A, B, C, D, and E."

She held up her fingers and counted them one by one.

"Level E is the most common, accounting for more than 70% of all superpowered individuals, such as 'minor strength enhancement' and 'minor vision enhancement'."

"D-rank has practical value, but its potential isn't very high."

"Starting from Rank C, once fully awakened, they are basically the backbone, and most Level 2 controllers are in this range."

"Grade B is an elite, with the potential to reach the third-level grandmaster level."

"Grade A..." She paused, her gaze falling on Wei Song's face.

"As long as you have enough resources and don't die in the mission, you have a chance to become a Level 4 Grandmaster."

Her voice was soft, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

"As for Class S, it theoretically exists, but I've worked at the management office for five years and have never seen one."

"There are only two suspected records in the archives, both of whom were pioneers in the early stages of the Great Cataclysm, and both of them died in battle later."

Upon hearing this, Wei Song showed a hint of excitement on his face, but in reality, he remained completely calm.

Lin Wei put the form away and placed it in a special folder with the word "Confidential" printed in red on the surface.

"Next, I'll give you a brief introduction to the task system."

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated. Come and follow the updates on Cola Novels!

She took another manual from the drawer and pushed it in front of Wei Song.

"After joining the management bureau, those with superpowers will receive a basic quota of tasks each month."

Lin Wei opened the manual and pointed to the first page.

"It mainly involves routine tasks such as patrolling, guarding, and assisting with local security. It's not dangerous, but it must be done; it's an obligation."

She turned to the second page. "Besides these, there are also bounty missions."

"Cracking down on cults, conducting in-depth reconnaissance in rifts, escorting important supplies, rescuing trapped personnel... these all fall under the scope of bounties."

"The difficulty of the mission is divided into five levels, with level one being the lowest and level five being the highest, corresponding to the five major realms of superpowered individuals."

"Of course, the compensation will increase accordingly."

She looked up at Wei Song, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"You saved thirty-seven people and killed nine cultists last night, including one Level Two Controller."

"Based on the management office's contribution calculation standards..."

She stood up, walked to the safe on the other side of the room, and placed her palm on the safe door, whereupon the runes lit up one by one.

"Click".

The cabinet door popped open.

She took a small, transparent box out of it, walked back, and placed it on the table.

The box is made of crystal, about the size of a palm, and has smooth sides.

The contents are clearly visible through the transparent lid.

Wei Song glanced at it and saw a golden crystal the size of a fingernail.

The crystals are irregularly shaped, like broken amber, with an extremely faint halo flowing across their surface.

The halo was very faint, like sunlight filtering through a thin mist in the early morning.

But one can sense that the crystal contains some kind of... profound and primordial energy.

Lin Wei looked at the box, her voice lowered.

"This is a special reward for killing cultists of level two or above... Source Crystal."

Wei Song stared at the crystal, and for some reason, an endless longing arose in his heart.

"The core resources for those with superpowers to advance their level can be directly absorbed and transformed into their own superpowers, thus accelerating their awakening process."

"Although this piece is small, its purity is very high, enough to advance you from 10% in the early stages of awakening to around 20%."

Wei Song suppressed his impulse and reached out to pick up the box.

The crystal outer shell was cool to the touch, but the golden crystal inside faintly emitted a warm fluctuation.

The moment my fingertips touched the box.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the long-silent panel began to vibrate silently!

As if seeing something delicious, ripples spread instantly.

At the edge of my field of vision, pale gold lettering silently appeared.

[Trace amounts of fragments of the world's origin have been detected]

[Rank Determination: Minor World Origin (Level 5)]

Is it absorbed?

Wei Song's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart skipped a beat in his chest.

But there was no abnormality on his face, as if nothing had happened.

He put down the box, looked up at Lin Wei, and spoke calmly as usual.

"This thing... must be very precious, right?"

Lin Wei laughed, a hint of teasing in her smile.

"You finally couldn't help asking... Of course it's precious."

She sat back down in her chair, leaning slightly forward.

"This is an open secret internally, but strictly confidential to outsiders."

"The source of Source Crystals is only found by completely removing and purifying the pollution of a certain abyssal rift. After the rift completely dissipates, source crystal veins of varying sizes will appear in the original location."

"The ones we use are all those that have been allocated from above and then further subdivided."

She paused, gazing out the window as if recalling something.

"As for why source crystals appear when the cracks dissipate... no one knows the exact answer."

"Some say it's the crystallization left behind when the world's rules repaired themselves after the abyss was banished."

"Some say it is the world's gift to living beings for protecting it."

"There are even more mysterious explanations..."

She turned her gaze away and looked at Wei Song.

"These source crystals are said to be 'fragments of the world's origin' that were forcibly stripped away after the abyss rifts were expelled and purified."

Wei Song listened quietly without offering any opinion, his heart churning with emotion.

"The essence of the world is so easily obtained..."

The original body's first projection had toiled for decades to receive a small gift from the world's will on the continent of Alan.

After absorption, the speed of rule comprehension will be permanently increased by 300%.

"This is a treasure that would drive even a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard crazy."

Why are there so few Morning Stars in the Wizarding World? Aren't they all searching for small worlds to invade in the Void?

"And now, in the Xuanhuang World, this kind of treasure..."

Surprisingly, you can reliably obtain it by completing tasks.

"Complete the tasks well, and you can exchange them for something bigger once you've saved enough."

Lin Wei's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Also, your family's accommodation has been assigned; here are the keys."

She then took a set of keys from the drawer and placed them next to the box.

The key is made of brass and has a door number tag attached—Building 7, Room 302, Anning Community, Dongcheng District.

"Your family members can move in at any time, and there are preferential policies for medical care, education, employment, etc."

"The detailed rules and regulations are in the manual; please refer to it yourself."

Wei Song put away the key and the box. The crystal box felt slightly heavy in his hand, and the golden crystal inside glowed faintly.

Like a sleeping star.

"Any other questions?" Lin Wei asked.

Wei Song shook his head, "Thank you for your help, Sister Lin."

"That's all for today, you can go back now."

Lin Wei stood up and escorted Wei Song to the door.

"Remember to report to the department once a month to update your status. You will be notified of any missions through the badge's internal channel."

She thought for a moment, then added another instruction.

"Cultivate diligently, keep getting stronger, your A-level potential... don't waste it."

Wei Song nodded his thanks and then turned to leave.

The corridor remained quiet, with only the occasional beeping sound from the energy monitoring device.

He stepped out of the building; the sunlight had completely pierced through the clouds, shining brightly on his face.

He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block it.

The warmth in my chest seemed to intensify under the sunlight, as if it were cheering.

Back in the apartment, I closed the door.

Wei Songzhan placed his backpack on the sofa and took out the crystal box.

Under the light, the internal halo of light within the golden crystal became even clearer.

Wei Song stared intently at the crystal, his eyes burning with desire.

"The origin of the world!"

And this treasure is actually called... "Source Crystal" in the Xuanhuang World.

It can also be obtained reliably by killing cultists and purifying rifts.

Wei Song took a deep breath. A breeze drifted in through the cracks in the window, carrying the unique hustle and bustle of the city.

He gently opened the box and took out the golden crystal. The crystal was warm to the touch, and its internal energy surged like a tide.

"It's a pity there's too little. Let me absorb it first to improve my strength."

The stronger he becomes, the more "Source Crystals" he will collect will also become.

Ignoring the panel's questions, he gently enveloped the crystal in his palm.

A warm sensation came from my palm, rose rapidly, and then spread throughout my body.

Wei Song felt as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, an overwhelming warmth and a deep sense of longing...

In a hazy state, consciousness connected with an immense will.

The will was surrounded by a seven-colored halo, casting a gentle gaze down from a great height.

But the difference in their social standing was too great, and Wei Song's heart suddenly clenched, bringing him back to his senses.

"call……"

He exhaled a breath of air and looked down at his palm; the crystal had vanished.

"call……"

He exhaled a breath of air and looked down at his palm; the crystal had vanished.

Meanwhile, his superpower, [Thermal Energy Control], has increased from 10% in the early stages of awakening to 30%.

"As expected, my understanding of the rules is twice as efficient as others."

Wei Song leaned back on the sofa, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his mind.

The panel floated silently, emitting a soft glow.

[Name: Wei Song (projection)]

Age: 22

[Realm Level: Early Awakening Stage (30%)]

[Superpower Rule: Thermal Energy Control]

[Potential Assessment: High]

Current status: In good condition

Wei Song stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the skyline of Jiangzhou City is clearly defined under the midday sun.

Skyscrapers stand like a forest, and cars stream by like a river; it is a strange yet bustling world.

It is also a world where "the origin of the world" is everywhere.

Ian's original plan was to go out and seek higher-level knowledge, just like the other level three wizards, after the projection stabilized.

Alternatively, one could join the legion of a Morning Star wizard to invade other worlds and gain resources for advancement.

But now, it's no longer necessary.

"The opportunity to advance to the fourth-level Morning Star... lies here."

Level 4 Morning Star represents a new level of achievement, a realm that countless wizards dream of!

"No rush... Let's get settled first, bring Mom, Dad, and my brother over, and then..."

His gaze passed beyond the city lights, looking into the distant, unseen void.

It was as if I had pierced through the barriers of the world and seen the figure sitting cross-legged in front of the altar.

Suddenly, an extremely abrupt idea popped into my head.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his brain began to work frantically, rejecting one proposal after another as soon as they appeared.

He only stopped thinking when white mist began to rise from above Wei Song's head.

"Sigh! The idea is good, but it's too difficult. If... it could really be done..."
