A noun entry: Wizard

Having received the boost from [Tracing the Origin - The Sacred Soul (Myth)], Russell's mind began to work at lightning speed, and he felt he had never been so clear-headed.

It's as if someone who is nearly blind due to myopia of over 1,000 degrees suddenly stops being nearsighted and even gains the vision of an eagle!

The world was never the same again.

"Ent Meditation Method." Russell recalled the meditation method that had troubled him for ten years, yet he had only completed 49% of it.

Ent meditation is just the most basic form of meditation.

Those with good wizarding aptitude usually complete their training after four or five years, opening their spiritual sea and becoming wizarding apprentices.

Clearly, the original owner's aptitude was far inferior to others, and it took him ten years to complete half of the cultivation.

at this time.

Russell thought for a moment.

50%.

51%.

……

61%.

71%!

81%!

100%!

It might have been just an hour, or even a mere ten minutes, but Russell's Ent Meditation Method, which had troubled him for ten years, was completely conquered by him!

While Russell's decade-long accumulation of knowledge may have contributed to this, it also demonstrates just how terrifying the boost from [Tracing the Origins: The Sacred Soul (Mythology)] truly is.

The additional 900% bonus to soul essence already increased Russell's mental strength tenfold.

The additional 400% comprehension bonus increases Russell's comprehension to five times.

In essence, the Ent Meditation Method is a meditation method designed to accumulate mental energy.

To help ordinary people reach the level of a wizard's apprentice.

Russell's mental strength at this time had surpassed that of most wizarding apprentices.

With a five-fold increase in comprehension, there won't be any situation where Russell has to spend another two years to complete the remaining 51% of his training—a situation where the stats are artificially reduced.

In addition, there was ten years of accumulation.

This enabled Russell to accumulate the Ent Meditation Method in a short period of time.

then.

"boom!"

A silent roar echoed in Russell's mind, and he involuntarily entered a meditative state, venturing into his own thoughts.

Originally, this was just a dark space with nothing in it. Through the Ent Meditation Method, an invisible and colorless spiritual force can be generated and stored here through the difficult process of opening up space.

Now, the spiritual energy takes on a faint silver hue, transforming into a babbling river that flows through this vast space.

His spiritual sea has been fully opened!

"I'm already a wizard apprentice?"

Russell looked into the distance and noticed a cup on the table.

The next moment, a pale silver spiritual energy shot out and hit the cup, causing it to shift slightly out of thin air.

Mental power interferes with reality!

Mental power is no longer an intangible substance that can only affect the minds of others, but can be applied to real objects.

This is the materialization of spiritual power, and it is also the mark of becoming a wizard apprentice!

"The wizard apprenticeship is not important; what is truly important is the 'Soul Rank +1'."

"A formal wizard-level soul rank? That doesn't seem that strong; it's more like a second-level wizard apprentice's soul rank!"

"Uh, is there a difference? Never mind, it's not important."

Russell felt that his mental state was better than ever before.

The spiritual rank of a second-level wizard apprentice is ten times that of a first-level wizard apprentice.

"Is this the bonus from the mythological attribute? Before this, I was just an ordinary person who hadn't even completed the Ent Meditation Technique."

"Now, my future is bright."

"In fact, this is just the beginning; the sequence of terms can be built in many ways."

"If one mythological term is this powerful, what about two? Ten? Even legendary plane lords, holy spirit wizards, gods..."

"They're only fit to eat my dust!"

Russell's eyes lit up, then the light faded as he thought to himself, "However, my most important task right now is to get certified as a wizard apprentice and learn magic."

"No matter how talented you are, if you can't even master a single zero-level spell, you're just an ordinary person with mental power."

"Spells require the use of mental power to construct a spell model in the sea of ​​consciousness, and then cast the spell based on this model."

Russell recalled the knowledge his predecessor had acquired.

It is said that there are several types of spell models. If only a rudimentary spell model is constructed, in order to cast the spell, one needs to combine incantations and gestures, or just one of them.

If the spell model is constructed perfectly, it can achieve an instant casting effect, without the need for incantations or gestures, and may even be more powerful!

Moreover, constructing a flawless spell model is also a key point in advancing to the second-level wizard apprentice level.

"For me, constructing spell models should be more advantageous than other first-level wizard apprentices," Russell thought, looking at the mythological entry.

Because mental strength is linked to the essence of the soul, Russell's mental strength is ten times that of a first-tier wizard apprentice, its purity is also ten times greater, and its control ability is still ten times greater.

In short, Russell was ten times better than other wizarding apprentices of the same level in every aspect of mental power.

Add to that five times the comprehension of an average person...

That's what makes mythological entries so terrifying.

Russell stepped out of the house and gazed at Panlong Mountain not far away.

Every year, nearly a hundred children with wizarding potential come to Panlong City to learn meditation techniques, hoping to become wizarding apprentices.

This also made Panlong City the largest gathering place for wizard apprentices in the Kingdom of Ent.

Therefore, the city was exceptionally lively, even surpassing the kingdom's capital in some ways.

Within this city, you can often see shops run by wizard apprentices, selling extraordinary items.

When visiting wizard apprentices in the Kingdom of Ent, they would certainly go directly to Panlong City, not the so-called capital.

Many people, when they hear the name of the Kingdom of Ente, think of Panlong Mountain and Panlong City at its foot, and may not even know the name of the capital city.

Russell packed his few belongings, left the bustling city, and arrived at the foot of the towering Panlong Mountain.

He walked around Panlong Mountain and soon saw a house built of stone. He went up and knocked on the door.

Panlong Mountain is extremely steep, and it is very difficult to climb it except for the small path next to the stone house right now.

Moreover, Panlong Mountain has a massive witch array set up by the wizard Xilin, so even a bird flying into Panlong Mountain is under the wizard Xilin's watchful eye.

"What brings you up the mountain?" A black-robed wizard apprentice pushed open the door, a badge with a star on his right breast indicating that he was a first-level wizard apprentice.

"Senior brother, I have advanced to the level of wizard apprentice and have come up the mountain specifically to learn magic."

Russell said respectfully, then stretched out his hand and condensed a wisp of pale silver spiritual energy.

He has temporarily removed the mythology entry.

He went from being an unparalleled genius to becoming mediocre again.

However, after wearing the mythological title for a long time, Russell was also affected and began to progress towards genius.

His aptitude and comprehension are quietly changing.

"Here, take this. Consider it your temporary identification."

"In Lord Shilling's wizard tower, several third-level wizard apprentices who live there year-round in ascetic training will teach you new meditation methods and spells."

Upon seeing this wisp of spiritual energy, the black-robed wizard apprentice's tone softened considerably. He took a badge from his pocket, handed it to Russell, and explained it to him.

Every new wizarding apprentice needs to go to Wizard Shilling's Wizard Tower.

When a wizard apprentice enters the wizard tower, the wizard Shillien has already observed him and thus determined which type of magic the apprentice is suited to learn.

Then, notify the third-level wizard apprentice on duty to teach the new wizard apprentice meditation and spells.

These were all rumors that circulated widely in Panlong City, and Russell was naturally aware of them, but he nodded his thanks.

Then they left the stone house and began their ascent up the mountain.
