Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 210 [210] The formal wizard could no longer sit still; the waterfall plunged thirty thousand feet.

Polaris, Shoggoth, Is, and Suer were positioned in the very center. Their strength was among the stronger of the Limit Wizard Apprentices present.

After all, having mastered special particle energy, the Extraordinary School is among the top.

In comparison, the Dream School ranks near the bottom.

As for their true strength, we'll only know after a fight; a lineage and a school of thought are ultimately different.

The cool, clear voice of the North Star echoed slowly in everyone's ears.

"Limitless Wizard Apprentices, guard your positions to prevent the gray scarred flesh horde from escaping; it is alive. The location of the Limitless Wizarding Spell has been transmitted to you via the Wizard's Mark, along with the canal planning projection map."

The wizard Suer originally wanted Wang Ya to take over, but Wang Ya rejected him with a look.

"Third-level wizard apprentices, you are responsible for the corner positions to prevent the remaining flesh and blood bacteria from escaping. Use the strongest magic you can cast to plug the gaps."

Lando the wizard winked at Wang Ya, "I think we should stay further away. Limit-breaking magic is no joke, it's terrifying."

The direction the two were responsible for guarding was opposite to the location of White Lake Wizard City. If the shadowy flesh-like creature in the canal was fleeing in this direction, it could very well spread to a more distant place along the canal.

There are Limit Wizard Apprentices guarding most of the directions ahead, so even if you break through, you might escape from other directions.

Lando the Wizard did not believe that the ugly spherical colony of bacteria could survive. This was the result of more than ten Limit Break Wizard apprentices working together to cast a Limit Break spell.

They are generally among the strongest wizards, as well as many chief wizards.

Even a formal wizard might not be unable to put up a fight against one.

Even if their auras have reached the limit of a wizard apprentice and they are enormous, the changes and damage to their flesh and blood are so purely physical that they cannot even touch the wizards' shadows.

"If this thing were any smaller, it could be sealed directly."

Lando the Wizard continued, "By the way, I remember you also had a black raven, where is it?"

"The ruins on the surface of White Lake Wizard City, created by fire elemental magic stretching for thousands of meters, clearly indicate that an extremely fierce battle took place. And those wizards surrounding the natural towers, were they created by Chief Su'er and his group's limit-breaking magic?"

"It's a headache. If I hadn't been knocked unconscious by the spatial fluctuations during the teleportation, I would have been able to join your battle and wouldn't be completely unaware of anything."

As for noticing the supernatural fluctuations gradually subsiding before waking up from bed, and then tossing the three magic stones to the shopkeeper wizard Bob, the wizard Lando will keep the matter buried in his heart for the rest of his life; it is a top secret.

It can only be said that the weather was uncooperative, and the wizard Lando was also helpless. Why did he have to be given such a warm bed and blankets at this time?

Wang Ya frowned, his expression beneath the black lotus mask showing a hint of impatience, before he smiled helplessly. Recalling the Windwalker Wizard's various actions in the Underdark—covering his mouth, dragging him away, glaring at him—Wang Ya could understand them now, and he even had the urge to sew Lando Wizard's mouth shut.

A sentence came to mind: If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute.

Harak was certainly not by his side; he was currently carrying out the task assigned to him beneath the canal.

Through the black lotus mask, in the ink-stained pupils, a stream of complex data flows down, representing information belonging to the shadowy, fleshy state.

[Target: Shadow Flesh Form (Named)]

[Current Strength Level: Beastmaster/Ultimate Wizard Apprentice (Under Development)]

[Details: Based on the bloodline of the 'Three-Life Source Bird,' and through unknown modification methods, its activity and vitality have been greatly enhanced; supplemented by a certain shadow energy aggregation substance as its core, it provides pure and vast shadow particle energy; the shadow core absorbs the activity and vitality to sustain the supply of shadow particle energy, thereby changing the nature of the extraordinary bloodline and gaining the ability to devour souls and flesh.]

[Extraordinary Characteristics: Devouring Power, Bloodline Advancement, Limit-Breaking Potential (Sublimation), Spirit-Flesh Cycle, Myriad Transformations of Fungal Flesh, Super Proliferation, Accumulation of Flesh and Blood.]

Wang Ya licked his lips. This is good stuff. Harak is similar; he also follows the path of devouring, but he has chosen a different direction.

The Shadow Flesh and Blood state is more comprehensive, achieving a basic balance between particle energy and physical flesh and blood. No matter how it cycles, it will eventually improve in all aspects.

It could even be said that without one of them, the Shadow Flesh and Blood Form would completely collapse.

Along with this comes the desire for knowledge that arises within one's heart.

This is not something a Limitless Wizard Apprentice could create.

If Wang Ya's guess was correct, the person behind the scenes probably wanted to take advantage of the changes in White Lake Wizard City to turn it into a dead zone, devouring all the wizards and lives in the city, in order to try to break through to the level of a formal wizard—that is, a first-level extraordinary being.

Wang Ya's confusion lay precisely in this: whether it was a wizard or a supernatural being, they should, in theory, be able to maintain a balance between illusion and reality.

What the shadowy flesh and blood state currently exhibits is not a balance between illusion and reality, but at best only a cycle of two real-world balances.

Could it be that he has been misunderstanding all along?

But Harak's success achieved an initial balance between illusion and reality, proving that his idea was not wrong.

Unless there are other explanations regarding the balance between illusion and reality.

Balance doesn't necessarily mean the interplay between illusion and reality; reality can be balanced with reality. Conversely, balance can also be achieved between different levels of illusion.

Wang Ya's eyes were incredibly bright. Although it was just a guess, based on the manifestation of the shadowy flesh and blood, he felt there was still some possibility.

Wizarding experiments are inherently full of unknown possibilities; if they become too rigid, they lose the tension of possibility and unknown changes.

The Hound of Gendas developed the Infinite Genome. The Dream Genome Harak has undergone multiple transformations and evolutions, and its life level has reached that of a Beast King. In terms of potential, it far surpasses the Shadow Flesh form.

Regarding the depiction of flesh and blood, Wang Ya even felt it was somewhat crude, lacking basic flesh and blood abilities such as "devouring," "digesting," "split," "infecting," and "vitality."

This is something that neither elemental wizards nor mechanical wizards could accomplish.

It does, however, possess the primal, wild style of a bloodline wizard. In other words, their experimental skills are still lacking, and their foundation is not solid.

Even the blood wizards next door, the products of wizard experiments, wouldn't lose even their basic physical abilities.

If Wang Ya were to conduct research and create, he wouldn't be so foolish as to lack even basic anti-air capabilities.

This is ridiculous!!

The wizard flew into the sky, and his flesh and blood evolved into a serpentine body, using its large mouth to tear apart... What an ingenious idea! And the flesh and blood experimentation technology that Wang Ya was using to gain an advantage... Regarding whether this flesh and blood technology could advance him to a first-level extraordinary creature, he remained in a wait-and-see attitude.

The concept of layering flesh and blood did provide Wang Ya with some inspiration, which might be applicable to Harak and allow him to develop some new abilities.

From his perspective, Harak, through the extraordinary gene fragments within the Infinite Black Core, transformed into an extraordinary aquatic creature, concealing his aura, and swam towards the core area of ​​the Shadow Flesh Form.

There must be a true core responsible for leading the entire flesh and blood microbiome; otherwise, this enormous body should have collapsed long ago.

No one understands the evolution of flesh and blood better than Wang Ya.

It combines the analytical aids of the Eye of Truth with Wang Ya's previous research experience.

That thing is also the most valuable.

Generally speaking, experiments require data collection. Regardless of whether the mastermind has other motives, as long as the core is found and taken away, Wang Ya's interests can be maximized.

As for the massive, fleshy body of the shadow, the life force and soul power it contained were of little use to Wang Ya; they were not pure enough and at most replenished Harak's biological energy consumption.

The Three-Life Source Bird is a Level 1 extraordinary creature, but it's not worth the risk; there will be opportunities to obtain it in the future.

If numerous limit-breaking spells were poured in before the core was found, Harak could also use his dream talent to enter the dream world and return to Wang Ya's dream territory.

There's no difference in continuing the search afterwards.

"To actually come up with the idea of ​​destroying and filling in a section of the entire canal, that little Polaris is really reckless."

He lay relaxed on the throne, his tone subtle and tinged with mockery.

Everything was proceeding as he had envisioned.

How much pressure can he and the Darkbat Wizard withstand, and to what extent can they achieve, when faced with a litmus test like the entire Dark Hand?

If they can withstand the pressure and, under crisis, complete the self-accumulation of flesh and blood, further compress the volume of their own flesh and blood scars, and achieve a breakthrough in quality on both sides, they can continue on this path of joint research.

"I really look forward to the limit-breaking sorcery of the entire Dark Hand! Although it differs from the sorcery released by a formal wizard in terms of sublimated particles and lacks some special properties, the degree itself has indeed reached the required level." The Dark Bat Wizard's tone fluctuated unusually, his face distorted in shadow. The last time he had such an emotional fluctuation was when his Shadow Robe was erased of his consciousness imprint by a powerhouse of the same level.

The thought of this fueled the Dark Bat Wizard's anger.

That good-for-nothing Ruilis couldn't even seize the opportunities given to her.

Then don't blame him; he's made up his mind completely.

A dark wizard with inherent potential should be able to perfectly embody the illusory aspect as the dominant consciousness when achieving a balance between illusion and reality.

Even the Dark Bat Wizard wasn't sure; it was ultimately just a wizard's creation, rather than something that naturally ascended step by step.

Success would be the best outcome.

Even if he fails, it doesn't matter; his extraordinary bloodline is at the second level. He is fundamentally different from the wizard on the throne; he doesn't have the other's worries and anxieties, and his power is constantly increasing.

The latter's peak has passed, and what was once his strength has become the fundamental problem that constrains him.

In the projected image, one after another, the ultimate wizard apprentices activated their particle energy, and their powerful auras erupted with the bio-force field. Even though the field was separated in advance, many wizards still collided with each other.

The strongest limit-breaking magic means there can be no holding back, and the bio-force field must naturally be unleashed to its maximum extent.

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically.

A terrifying surge of energy, along with the natural particle energy, erupted and was drawn in by the wizards above the canal, becoming part of their magical power.

The gale stopped, the rain receded, and in some areas it began to flow backward, or the rainwater was no longer bound by gravity and floated around the wizard.

The ink-black light seeped into Wang Ya's eyes, and the extraordinary fluctuations gradually grew stronger, indeed revealing a series of limit-breaking sorcery techniques.

It is also necessary to collect this data.

The images continuously recorded by the Eye of Truth.

When the apprentices of the Limit Wizard have accumulated enough particle energy fluctuations, they begin to evolve matter or use illusory special effects, which is the formation of corresponding Limit Break Wizardry.

Wang Ya, who was in the outer area, also began to prepare his Burning Silence Fission Sorcery.

What is nuclear fission?

It involves a chain reaction through the energy core of fire element particles, forming fission channels that can accommodate the fission of numerous fire cores, releasing energy. The energy of a single fission is finite, which is also the method used to control this fission magic.

The fire nucleus is not matter; it does not contain atomic nuclei and cannot release neutrons, protons, or electric charges. It is more of a microscopic product of simulated energy. However, through Wang Ya's extensive calculations and the influence of his extraordinary spirit, it can meet some of the characteristics of an atomic nucleus.

This is a fission of extraordinary energy systems belonging to the wizarding world.

As for its power?

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes, and the Burning Soul Particle Energy within his body rapidly took effect. His extraordinary mental power accelerated the operation of the particle energy, causing secondary rotation and collective vibration, creating the fission path that controlled everything. Wang Ya then began the corresponding fission of the fire core, further increasing the consumption of his mental power.

Wang Ya was shocked; the consumption was too exaggerated. Half of the fission path had been completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Wang Ya, whose neurons had been enhanced, possessed a profound foundation of extraordinary mental strength and was able to withstand the strain.

It seems that to use a more powerful fission and incineration magic, one needs to significantly increase their mental strength.

It's estimated that the Fusion Incineration Spell can only be used reliably after Wang Ya becomes a formal wizard.

A faint black shadow appeared behind Wang Ya, existing in a superposition of illusion and reality, with the power of dreams flowing within it. Its extraordinary spiritual power was its stable essence. From a distance, it looked like an illusory black hole, pitch black, constantly attracting light.

As time went on, the illusory state became more and more solid, and Wang Ya's expression grew increasingly solemn. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his lips turned pale. What a joke! Every ten fire cores that split would consume ten percent of his mental energy, plus the effort to maintain balance. He could only complete the splits one by one, daring not to do more. If he couldn't stabilize the situation, he would be reduced to ashes.

Thunderfire Wizard would probably come and hold his hand.

Fortunately, the third-level wizard apprentices have plenty of time, and may not even need to use it. After the ultimate wizard apprentices release their limit-breaking magic, they can observe the specific situation in the canal.

If the shadowy flesh form flees in his direction, then decisively use witchcraft.

boom!

Polaris was the first to throw out the improved version of the Limit-Breaking Sorcery in her right hand, "Heart of Darkness." It had a powerful attraction, and at its core was an unbearable abyss that seemed to devour everything. In reality, it was a dark void capable of destroying a radius of 100 meters.

Wang Ya was completely focused on the fission process and couldn't afford to be distracted. If he saw this magical performance, he would probably instantly recall the dark environment he encountered on the wizard ship and the battle where the wizard Tuta was injured.

The eerie, gigantic skeleton, seemingly materialized, wielded a cross-shaped bone longsword, one foot planted in the canal, the sword burning with bone fire. It then plunged the sword into the water with tremendous force, enough to cleave a hundred-meter bridge in two.

The wizard Yi Si remained expressionless, his right hand exerting considerable force, veins bulging on his forehead, proving that manipulating the giant skeleton was no easy task.

Shoggoth the wizard, Is the wizard, the head of the Stark family. Each spell, breaking limits, emanated its own terrifying aura and formidable power. The resulting torrent of magic was unprecedented; suppressed particle energy exploded completely, and various colors of light collided. Space seemed to shatter at the moment it converged and exploded into the canal.

The gale-force winds, strong enough to topple trees, tore apart the dark clouds in the sky, causing all the rain and clouds in the area to evaporate and disappear.

Then came even thicker, more continuous dark clouds.

The wizards instinctively moved away; the light emanating from it was too intense, and they squinted involuntarily.

The shockwaves and seismic waves generated by the magical explosion caused the water in the entire canal to break and collapse, and the trees and mountains on both sides to fall one by one, as if there was a problem with the underground tectonic plates.

Bang!

Everyone's ears were temporarily deafened, and they also noticed the collapse of many wizarding buildings in White Lake Wizard City.

At this moment, it truly felt as if the world was about to be destroyed.

It's not over yet; it's only the eve of it.

"They're here!"

In the midst of the chaos, one of the wizards uttered a sentence.

The wizards rose into the air again, their eyes fixed on the scene of the river evaporating, or the appearance of undercurrents, hollows in the riverbed, and the backflow of water.

Buzz!

An even more powerful burst of multicolored light erupted from within the canal, and towering waves, tilted by the shockwave, surged directly into the sky, like a dazzling Milky Way defying gravity and pulling towards the heavens.

The riverbed was completely exposed, yet it was impossible to see clearly; all that could be seen was the magical reaction of constant explosions and bursts releasing energy.

Using superhuman mental power to perceive is the most foolish thing to do. Weaker wizards will be directly impacted into idiocy by the chaotic particle surge, which contains the residual wizard consciousness carried by the limitless magic.

"We succeeded! We succeeded! Dark Bat, did you see that?!" He could no longer sit still and stood up from his throne, his eyes burning as he stared at the scene projected onto the lake.

It was as if through that destructive power reaction, one could see the truest form of the Bone-Eating Demon, and also witness the continuous advancement of breaking limits and sublimation.

"Our path is correct. All we need to do next is retrieve the experimental data and the Bone-Corroding Pearl. Subsequent wizard experiments will then be free of bottlenecks."

The Dark Bat Wizard was also delighted; for him, having another opportunity was a good thing.

If one path is blocked, choosing this path is also acceptable.

The raging energy turbulence had not yet subsided, and many Limit Wizard apprentices were observing it. A huge pit had appeared in the riverbed of this section of the canal; the water on both sides could no longer connect and flowed into the pit.

Even the ground tectonic plates showed vertical fractures and displacements, creating a shocking vertical cross-section. The canal sections above and below began to plunge 30,000 feet.

Wizard Shoggoth stared intently into the deep pit, hearing only the rushing sound of the river water splashing.

Polaris bit her lip, her beautiful eyes equally serious, and she even held her breath.

Wizard Yi Si frowned, and her breathing became rapid. She should be dead, shouldn't she? Such power could not be survived by flesh and blood.

"roar!"

A wave of sound, accompanied by terrifying force, burst forth, soaring into the sky and tearing open a gap in the thick, gathered dark clouds.

Everyone present paled.

P.S.: This is last night's update, posted now. I haven't slept, I can't sleep. I'll report my daily word count at the end of the last chapter.
