A noun entry: Wizard

"What exactly are these sea creatures thinking?"

Top floor of the Shillien Wizard Tower.

This is Schilling's research lab. He is currently sitting in a comfortable chair, remotely controlling his elemental avatar.

After killing the three Tier 1 Sealings, these annoying bastards all retreated.

Wizard Shilling studied for a long time but still couldn't figure out why the Sea Hells suddenly landed on a large scale, with Sea Hells of all levels appearing, from Tier 2 to Tier 1.

"That thing couldn't possibly have been leaked, otherwise, more than just first-tier Sea Spirits would have landed."

"Second-tier, third-tier, and even fourth-tier Sea Kings may appear."

"Or perhaps, there was something that attracted them, and now that they have obtained that thing, Hai Si has retreated."

Schilling felt somewhat uneasy.

That thing absolutely cannot be lost!

"Let's have the elemental avatars continue to guard the coastline and investigate."

After diverting a wisp of his mental energy to ensure that the elemental avatar would not dissipate, the wizard Shilling continued his research.

……

Two months later.

In Russell's laboratory.

He was busy dissecting sea creatures, slicing them for analysis, and trying to find the differences between the three first-class sea creatures and the dried-out sea creatures.

The second-level wizard apprentice portion of the Furui model has already been initially completed.

The spell models for Wind Barrier and Swiftness have also been initially constructed.

Next, all that's left is to continuously improve these models and try to control the elements of heaven and earth in preparation for advancing to the third-level wizard apprentice level.

"The body structure of this dried-up corpse, Hai Si, is completely different from the other three. Even in this state, and despite being dead for who knows how long, its cells still retain activity!"

Russell didn't dare put the dried-up corpse Hai Si into the nutrient solution that was maintaining Hai Si's corpse state, for fear that he would absorb the nutrient solution and then revive.

"Preliminary assessment indicates that this sea creature is at the level of a formal wizard."

Russell pinched his chin, recalling that even a single head was over five meters tall, comparable to a first-tier Sea Spirit of a third-level Sea Spirit.

The difference between the two is quite large.

Could it be that sea cucumbers turn into this shape after they dry out, with such a huge size, because they have too much water stored in them?

"Studying Hai Si's corpse has revealed that the curse of Hai Si cannot be broken."

"I can't even find where the curse is; everything seems perfectly normal!"

Russell sighed. Perhaps, once he became stronger, he would be able to discover the problem.

As for other gains, there were naturally some as well.

For example, extracting Hai Si's bloodline, purifying it, and finally condensing it into essence blood that can be used to cast a water ball spell.

Just like the level two sea creature Russell encountered, wielding the Heart of the Azure Sea, it could unleash bloodline spells comparable to mid-level zero-tier spells.

Russell used the alchemical techniques of a wizard to extract a drop of essence blood from the blood of a first-level Sealing, a blood essence capable of casting spells comparable to a low-level zero-rank spell.

The Sealings are a race born with the bloodline of spellcasting, but this cannot be manifested at lower levels.

It requires guidance, or it can be killed directly to purify its bloodline.

Russell carefully put away the test tube containing the first-grade Haizi blood, then took a deep breath.

just now.

It's time for a thrilling 100-pull.

The second entry sequence has been idle for a long time, even being occupied by entries like "[Innate Divine Strength (Advanced): Strength +87%]".

This is a disgrace to the wizarding profession!

For this 100-pull, regardless of the color of the affixes, at least fill them with spellcaster affixes first.

One hundred consecutive draws begin.

A large number of cards were spread out in front of Russell.

"Ordinary white".

"Ordinary white".

"Ordinary white".

……

"Green and high-quality".

The first 10-pull of the 100-pull ended with a guaranteed 9 white and 1 green.

"Just a stepping stone," Russell consoled himself, and continued clicking on the cards.

"Ordinary white".

The screen continued to be filled with dense white light, making Russell wonder if today was an inauspicious day for drawing cards.

"I wonder if there's anything like the Chinese calendar in this world, or to be more straightforward, a book of prophecy that tells me which day to draw cards."

Russell was secretly annoyed.

"Blue is high-end."

"Ordinary white".

……

"Blue is high-end."

This round of keyword extraction ended with 2 blue, 8 green, and 90 white entries.

There was no burst of colorful, red, or golden light as Russell had imagined, nor did he extract any rare purple entries like last time.

It's only slightly better than the guaranteed blue advanced affix from a hundred consecutive draws, but it has one more blue advanced affix.

"I hope these two entries will bring me some surprises."

When the blue light first appeared, Russell did not check the entry details, choosing instead to maintain a sense of mystery.

[Slight Elemental Affinity (Advanced): Elemental Affinity +60%]

Swift Steps (Advanced): Agility +79%

Ignoring the second term, Russell equipped the first blue term and began to sense the elements in the air.

"The elements are more at ease with me, which can accelerate my process of mastering the elements of heaven and earth, and also improve my combat power to a certain extent."

"As for this 'swift pace'."

Russell fell into deep thought. This entry, like the one about innate superhuman strength that came out earlier, was meant to cause trouble.

Should we break it down?

After a brief moment of consideration, Russell felt that it would be useful in the future, so he kept it for the time being.

Next, we need to look through the white and green entries to see if there are any entries that can be used as a transition.

After some reorganization, Russell's bibliography was completely revamped.

[Entry Sequence]:

First Sequence Core Entries: [Tracing the Origins - Supreme Soul (Mythology): Soul Essence +900%, Comprehension +400%, Mythology Passive: Soul Rank +1]

Branch entry: ①【Beginner's Wind (Normal): Wind spell damage +4%】

②【Spell Turret (Rare): Spell damage +110%, 20% chance to increase spell count by 1】

Second Sequence - Core Entry: [Weak Elemental Affinity (Advanced): Elemental Affinity +60%]

Branch entry: ①【The Wind of Mediocrity (Excellent): Wind spell damage +15%】

Of the eight green entries, only one, "The Style of Mediocrity," is usable; no green entry to replace "The Style of a Beginner" has been found.

However, among the white entries, Russell found one with a higher attribute: [Beginner's Breeze].

Although it only improved by 1%, which is a bit small, let's just say there was no improvement at all.

After finishing the keyword extraction, Russell went outside, did some simple stretching, and used the stone table by the door as dumbbells.

I casually raised it twice.

Now that his physical abilities have reached the level of a Grand Knight, Russell's physique has entered the extraordinary realm. He can easily play with the stone table as a toy.

After a brief activity, Russell began to practice the newly constructed spells Wind Barrier and Swiftness, striving to master them.

These two spells required Russell to chant and coordinate with hand gestures for more than a second before he could cast them.
