Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 105 [105] The Secret Realm is ablaze with fire. The official wizards have appeared, and the competition begins.

Inside the witchcraft experiment field, Wang Ya slowly rolled up his sleeves. What appeared before him was no longer a metal testing doll, but a living, mid-level extraordinary creature.

Its enormous body was covered with various rock-like scales, reaching a height of three meters. Its limbs were thick and powerful, and its head resembled that of an ape. Metal chains wrapped around its body were connected to various corners of the testing ground, forcing it to constantly roar and howl at Wang Ya.

Mountain apes are extraordinary creatures known for their defensive capabilities and physical strength. They can withstand a great deal of witchcraft, and even some low-level witchcraft poses no threat to them.

Wang Ya snapped his fingers, and the chains unlocked one by one, granting the mountain ape its freedom.

This caught the mountain ape off guard, leaving it frozen in place. Despite its considerable intelligence, the ape was now consumed by rage from its long period of confinement and bared its teeth as it charged toward Wang Ya.

The ground trembled slightly, like a dump truck. Any mortal facing such an impact would only end up as a bloody pulp.

Wang Ya looked indifferently at the mountain ape charging towards him. It could withstand a maximum of 22 degrees of magic resistance, making it the perfect target to test his improved magic.

Buzz!

A powerful gust of wind emanated from Wang Ya's feet, spreading out in all directions and pressing directly towards the mountain ape.

An invisible medium seemed to appear in the air, which was actually Wang Ya's own bio-force field being fully activated. Particle energy then appeared around him, resulting in a highly condensed state that was substantially manifested.

The mountain ape's charging momentum slowed down, fear appeared in its beastly eyes, its anger was suppressed by instinct, and its bio-field was completely suppressed.

Only when one side is stronger than the other can such a feat be achieved.

Wang Ya's eyes gleamed, and his aura had reached the level of a second-level wizard apprentice. He hadn't even just advanced, and there was no fluctuation in particle energy or aura.

Incredibly solid and heavy, the bio-force field expanded even further as Wang Ya took a step forward, and even the dust particles in the testing field were driven and pulled by the pressure.

Roar!

The mountain ape threw a punch at Wang Ya.

The enormous fist carried a sound that made the air whistle and shriek, and the crashing waves whipped at Wang Ya's hair.

The latter's eyes remained calm, but a deep red halo appeared on his fair cheeks. This was due to the vibration of particle energy, which instantly ignited a terrifying energy flame that covered his entire body, distorting the air with its heat.

[Witchcraft - Fear of the Fire Demon]

The fist, covered in scales, was constantly being scorched. Flesh, scales, and skin were melting away, revealing charred bones. The force of the attack had exceeded the mountain ape's tolerance limit.

This, on the contrary, triggered the mountain ape's bestial instincts. Its pupils turned bloodshot, and it continued to smash down without flinching.

The charred right arm bone pierced through Wang Ya's body, and the energy flames scattered like meteors before reassembling in another location.

The flames were dazzling and blinding; this was a body formed from high-frequency amplitude particle energy, a powerful sorcery that combined defense, attack, movement, and explosive power.

After Wang Ya's improvements, it can now be cast instantly, and some characteristics of the low-level sorcery [Rapid Fire Meteor] have been added. It can consume a certain amount of particle energy, allowing Wang Ya, who is in a sorcery state, to transform into energy flames that disperse and then recombine, thus avoiding a lot of damage at critical moments.

At the same time, the [Flame Demon] Roar spell can be cast instantly, and its power can be freely controlled to ensure that the spell's effect does not disappear and expose any weaknesses.

Chi Chi!

The particle energy on his body solidified again, and the amplitude of the internal and external frequencies reached an even higher level. Visibly, the flames began to subside, forming faint deep red ripples that clung to his skin. Even Wang Ya's facial features were clearly visible, and the special patterns flowed with high-density particle energy like blood vessels.

This is Wang Ya's further development of the [Flame Demon Fear] witchcraft. It should be said that it is no longer the original witchcraft, but a new, stronger, and more terrifying kind of witchcraft.

Wang Ya named it "Flame Demon Doppelganger".

The second change lasted only one minute, but it comprehensively enhanced Wang Ya's various stats.

It can defend against witchcraft below 28 degrees Celsius.

It can increase speed to the level of a second-level wizard apprentice, to the point that even mental perception cannot detect it.

Right

On the offensive level, as long as particle energy exists, it can unleash unlimited Fearful Flames, as well as energy spells such as Flame Demon Roar and Rapid Fire Meteor.

Wang Ya even incorporated the "Insensory Deprivation" witchcraft into it, further refining it to create a rather unique witchcraft.

Roar!

The mountain ape, enraged by the intense pain, became even more violent, scrambling and crawling as it tried to tear the wretched little insect apart with its other hand.

The large hand grabbed Wang Ya's body and began slamming him repeatedly onto the ground, causing the metal floor to deform.

Boom boom boom!

A deafening roar erupted as the mountain apes vented their anger.

Not far away, Wang Ya was still in his dual form as the Flame Demon, arms crossed, calmly watching the hysterical mountain ape.

The new application of the "non-sensory deprivation" magic is based on Wang Ya's own understanding and development, changing things from the source of sight and hearing.

That is the feedback of the biofield to the external magnetic field, and also the influence of its own biofield on the external magnetic field.

In his dual form as the Flame Demon, Wang Ya can enhance his biofield, making him susceptible to external temperature differences and light refraction, thus directly obscuring his five senses.

It is very discreet, and there is no involvement of any mental energy or particle energy, which can play a significant role at crucial moments.

Even the most cautious wizard would probably not be able to guard against this.

Sometimes, a slight visual impact can determine the outcome of a battle.

Wang Ya named it "The Gaze of the Flame Demon".

It is a special kind of witchcraft and is not counted in the witchcraft ranking system. It is judged based on the strength of the witch's own bio-field.

In other words, the stronger a wizard is, the wider the scope of their influence.

It's time to end this. The last fifteen days are for adjusting our mindset, considering the unique aspects of the secret realm, and formulating tactics.

Wang Ya extended a long, slender, white finger and gently touched the mountain bear. The next moment, the moisture in the air was instantly evaporated, and invisible flames had already begun to burn its body.

Before they could even scream, they were reduced to charred remains.

The release of the Flame of Fear is no longer confined to the hands. After further improvements, Wang Ya, in his Flame Demon Doppelganger state, can distribute high-frequency fire element particle energy within a fifty-meter radius around his body.

The temperature difference that can be affected is also within this range. Enemies within this range are always at risk of being attacked by the Fearful Flame.

The source of the unlimited release of witchcraft lies in this.

This could perhaps be considered a passive spell of the Flame Demon's Doppelganger - [Flame Demon's Domain].

[Target: Wang Ya]

[Mental Strength: 21.5 (Level 2 Wizard Apprentice)]

[Physical Fitness: 15]

Particle Energy: 19 units

[Wizard Meditation Method: Basic (Nine Medals), Advanced (Nine Medals)]

[Mastery of Witchcraft: Fearful Flames (Modified), Crimson Heat (Modified), Fire Element Particle Energy Shield (Modified), Imperceptible Deprivation (Modified), [Fire Demon's Gaze], Fire Demon Doppelganger, Fire Demon Domain, Fire Demon Roar]

The faint blue light in Wang Ya's pupils gradually faded and disappeared.

His strength has improved dramatically compared to two and a half years ago.

The two smaller secret realms in the secret realm competition are "Firestorm" and "Corrosion Forest".

The next day, Wang Ya arrived early at the second floor of the Dark Library. The hall was still occupied by the same wizards who were organizing and maintaining the books. The familiar figure was sitting calmly in a chair next to a desk, studying a book called "The History of the Romandix Empire".

Wang Ya knew a little about it. It was a lost civilization located at the bottom of the sea. However, that was what they said on the surface. In reality, it was the ancient wizards who personally wiped this civilization out of the wizarding world.

The conflict involves some interests, and people from the wizarding world are colluding with people from other worlds, wanting to become wizard traitors and break away from the wizarding world to become the ruler of a small world.

The ancient wizards bestowed upon this extraordinary underwater empire civilization ample dignity.

The wizard Slaty looked up at Wang Ya as he approached and said with a light laugh, "You've come, little one. It seems you've come with some questions."

After spending more than two years together, the two have become quite familiar with each other, and at times they can even be considered book lovers.

Slaty was especially pleasantly surprised, discovering that Wang Ya's knowledge of these books was vast; he could say a few words about almost every aspect. Perhaps he wasn't an expert, but in such a short time, he had already been able to chat with him. Given more time, he would probably catch up to him very quickly.

Slatty has proposed more than once that Wang Ya join his team to create an unprecedented masterpiece.

"What a pity. I think this great work should have included your and my names. With your help, I would have been able to finish it much faster." Slaty put down the book in her hand, a smile on her face, and pointed to the ninth section of the rotating bookshelf, saying, "The answer you're looking for is there. Of course, that's the inner area, and you'll need to pay a certain number of magic stones."

Watching Wang Ya diligently studying in the Ninth District, Slatty's eyes held a hint of admiration. What an outstanding little fellow! So outstanding that he almost thought they were talking to wizards of the same level.

Rather than a difference of one or two hundred years, creating a huge generation gap. Back then, he probably didn't have such a clear goal or a full understanding of his path as a wizard.

At the same age, he was still confused, feeling discouraged and disheartened about the future and the huge gap between himself and the new generation of wizard families.

[Secret Realm: Fire Fills the Sky]

[Details: Located in the territory of the Godsblood, coordinates are ???, filled with dense fire elemental particles, and covered with a large number of fire maple trees, which can be used as extraordinary materials. There are also many dry sandy areas. The natives are 'fire spirits' who depend on the fire maple trees for survival. They are not particularly intelligent and have fiery tempers. Any outsiders who try to trespass on their territory will be attacked.]

[Secret Realm: Corroded Forest]

[Details: An extremely unique secret realm, located in the Dark Territory, coordinates: ???. Primarily composed of inert particle energy, it is chillingly cold and inhabited by shadowy trees that produce corrosive liquids. The native inhabitants of this secret realm are 'Shadow Spirits' and 'Soul-Eating Serpents,' and any creature possessing flesh and particle energy is on their menu.]

Wang Ya found the relevant records and gained a clear understanding of the two small secret realms.

The environment affects the performance of different wizards and their spells. Undoubtedly, if the sky is ablaze with fire, the spells Wang Ya casts will be greatly amplified under the influence of the natural fire element particles.

Its power, whether in terms of intensity or anything else, is far more terrifying than what is released in other environments.

Conversely, if the event were to take place in the Corrosion Forest, a secret realm, it would be at a slight disadvantage, since the home ground is not on his side.

"It seems you've achieved what you wanted." Wizard Slaty walked over with a smile, put a book back in its place, and said calmly, "The Secret Realm Competition involves many things. Do your best, and I believe you can achieve a good ranking. I will use the wizard's mark to observe your performance."

"Don't lose, okay? I'm betting you'll make it into the top three. If I lose at the open, I'll have to go work to pay off my debts." Wizard Slaty's tone was very serious, as if he had staked his entire fortune on it.

"Opening?" Wang Ya was taken aback.

Slaty looked at him with surprise. "You don't know, right now the Underdark headquarters, the Free Zone, and the surrounding wizarding cities are all bustling with activity, with gambling events of all sizes being held."

"Through the Gloomy Corridor, information about your new wizarding students is collected, and then a prediction gambling operation is set up. Even many formal wizards secretly place bets and play around with it."

"Of course, only the wizards of our Darklands headquarters can view the footage of the Secret Realm competition through their wizard marks," Slatty reassured Wang Ya, then continued, "However, whether any of the headquarters wizards have sold the footage or anything like that, we don't know."

Wang Ya: "."

This is confirmed; the Glowing Corridor was opened by your Underground headquarters, wasn't it?

The intelligence information is definitely accurate; they are all wizards from within their own faction.

Slaty said knowingly, "I've been there, I know all about this. Just do your best, I have high hopes for you."

As Wang Ya walked out of the library, he was still somewhat dazed when an idea popped into his head.

If others can bet on the new wizards, why can't he bet on himself?

Magic Stones are running low, and the cost-saving plan has been stalled due to the need to compete in the Secret Realm.

This is a great opportunity; we might be able to earn back the magic stones we need for five years.

Harak is a huge consumer of magic stones, especially after undergoing the transformation of his infinite genome.

During this period, Wang Ya tried his best to purchase powerful supernatural beings to supplement and enhance Harak himself.

They couldn't bear to buy advanced superhuman beings, as the price was simply too expensive, and digesting Harak would take too long.

Thinking of this, Wang Ya quickened his pace. So many days had passed; the extraordinary creatures in the biological cultivation room should have all been digested and absorbed by Harak.

The combination of the Infinite Blood Core and the Flesh Furnace properties filled Wang Ya with great anticipation.

"Little Is, you look a little unhappy. I just told you some funny stories about yourself, why are you making such a fuss?"

The familiar voice of the wizard Shoggoth came from the garden corridor, causing the wizard Is, who was sitting in a chair drinking a cup of milk tea, to frown. The cup in his hand turned into bone, but he steadily drank the milk tea down.

"Let's start a betting session." Wizard Shoggoth plopped down in a chair and said, "Which new wizards will get the top three spots in the Secret Realm competition? Do you have any promising young talents in mind?"

Wizard Is sneered, "The wizarding family has been preparing for so long, and the top three are unlikely to fall into the ranks of commoner freshmen. What's the point of opening a betting pool?"

"That's not necessarily true. Isn't there still that little guy who rejected you?" Wizard Shoggoth's smile grew even brighter, his eyes narrowing.

On the other hand, Wizard Yi Si's face was extremely sour, and he almost threw the cup in his hand away.

"Eileen, Saiya, and I have all placed our bets on this kid. It's just us. Want to join in? I'm betting that he won't be able to get into the top three."

"The wizard Shoggoth said with a smile."

Wizard Is snorted coldly, "I'll bet whatever number of magic stones you ask for, but the opposite of what you're asking for."

Although he knew that Wang Yahalak's chances of getting into the top three were slim, he still made that choice.

It's just ten thousand magic stones, he can afford to lose it. What's annoying is that he made the same choice as this despicable guy.

"Just like that rigid Saiyan, do you all hate me that much?" Wizard Shoggoth's face showed a sad expression. "I'm your most respected chief, this hurts my heart so much."

"As for the magic stones, I'll gladly accept them." Wizard Shoggoth said meaningfully, "This batch of newcomers in the wizarding family is quite extraordinary. Some of the direct descendants are even more formidable than some second-level wizard apprentices."

"We really need to use the wizard's mark to take a good look at the battle footage. These young people these days are all terrifying. It's putting a lot of pressure on me."

Wizard Is stared at Shoggoth expressionlessly, his aura gradually erupting, and his bio-force field causing the surrounding temperature to become unbalanced.

This guy is the perfect example of someone who gets a good deal but then acts innocent.

Wizard Shoggoth stroked his chin. "If it comes to fighting, you're no match for me, little Is."

In the cultivation room.

After its transformation, Harak flew out of the skylight, its feathers beginning to lengthen and become more slender, like a falcon, emitting a deep "clucking" sound.

As it plunged downwards, the core of its body, the Infinite Blood Core, once again selected a gene fragment.

In the blink of an eye, Harak's body transformed into a lump of pure black flesh and blood, with fleshy tendrils wriggling on its surface. Then, as if sculpted, a Rain Gliding Demon Frog appeared.

With its limbs outstretched and tail fins gliding, just as it was about to crash into a large tree, the gene fragments of the Infinite Blood Core were activated again, this time transforming it into a saw-toothed tiger. Its sharp claws tore off large pieces of bark, allowing it to land smoothly and successfully.

Then, with a sudden leap, he landed on the path leading to the wizard's residence, lowered his head, and allowed the approaching figure in black wizard robes to extend his slender, white fingers to stroke him.

Wang Ya was very satisfied. He had become quite proficient in using the Infinite Blood Core. Changing the form of matter was only the first part. The other part was to use all the gene fragments at an excessive capacity.

As for what it could become, Wang Ya didn't have a precise idea. After using it, it would cause considerable genetic damage to Harak.

If the time is too long, even an infinite genome will become damaged, broken, and collapse.

Whether absorbing and devouring the existence of a wizard can transform one into a wizard, or into a corresponding human form, is not a problem.

Wang Ya had already given the two Night Moon Elves to Harak, and there was no need to use them for the time being. It was more important to improve Harak's strength to deal with the competition in the secret realm.

By changing into the corresponding form, one can also use the corresponding extraordinary properties, which is a completely different direction from the Dogs of Gendass.

His pupils emitted a faint, blue, lightning-like shimmer.

[Target: Harak]

【Spirit: 8】

[Physical Fitness: 30]

[Exceptional Traits: Shadow's Head, Flesh Furnace, Defeat Black Eye, Infected Deep Touch, Infinite Blood Core]

With just their physical attributes, they can withstand a lot of moderate witchcraft damage.

When transforming through the Infinite Blood Core, the extraordinary properties of the corresponding gene fragments can also bring different blessings to Harak.

If it were to transform into a mountain ape, its defense and resistance would definitely exceed 30.

Wang Ya's eyes were filled with anticipation. In the competition within the secret realm, he would absolutely not lose to any opponent.

Whoever the opponent is.

The Lower House of Dark Wizards.

Many new students arrived at the familiar freshman plaza through the academy garden. Compared to before, a huge transparent ripple light gate appeared in the center, with fluctuations in spatial energy.

The wizard Gusayi stood on the high platform in the square, looking down at the new wizards below. Many more figures had appeared around him, some of whom the new students recognized as their former instructors.

Wang Ya was also in the crowd, gazing at the many powerful wizards above. The wizards of Garan and the teaching wizards of the four extraordinary disciplines were also present, but he did not recognize the other faces.

What he most wanted to do was to see the teaching wizard of the Potionology Department. It had been two and a half years, the competition for the Secret Realm had already begun, and he hadn't attended a single class or even found a trace of him.

Fifty magic stones were earned through hard work.

This gathering of new students marks the start of the competition for the secret realm. The enormous ripple-like light gate is the teleportation entrance to the smaller secret realm.
