Wizard's Journey

Chapter 689 The Fifth Phase of the Truth Project

Seventy years later.

Basically, the body-refining method of the Elemental Surge Body Refining Wizard is still based on the knowledge accumulation system of the Elemental Wizard, which is completely different from that of the Knight's Perseverance Academy and the Wild Body Refining Wizard.

For example, Green.

Whether it's the mixed poison body refinement, the male poison body refinement, or even the potion body refinement, or even the level of wild instinct that Green himself unlocked due to the crack in the life code, they are all actually about enhancing and evolving the physique through knowledge, and nothing else.

Every step of physical improvement is inevitably due to the accumulation of knowledge.

In comparison, the Knights' Perseverance Academy's approach of relying on willpower and the Abyss Tower's wild body-refining wizards' life-or-death adventures are still categorized as passive evolution.

Now, after the initial period of rapid and intense growth, Green's Male Poison Body Refinement has begun to decline significantly. This is because Green has passed the initial development stage of his unbalanced body refinement and entered the accumulation stage.

The black crystal ball reflected the results of Green's venomous body tempering during this period.

Mental strength: 300, Magical strength: 2721~3039.

体质：1388，体力：1032~1552，力量：950~2747，活性：1084~1499。

More than two years have passed since the beginning of the competition for the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking. Although Green has other research that has taken up a lot of his time, it is an indisputable fact that Green's body tempering progress has begun to slow down.

"Isapologetic acid, three grams of ecliptic plant extract, one gram of lin powder..."

Green stared intently into the microscope, studying the reaction between the venom in the test tube and his own blood cells, and proceeding with a step-by-step, planned body-refining process based on the cells' reactions.

Otherwise, if the toxicity is too strong at once, it can easily damage Green himself, and not only will he fail to temper his body, but he will also be injured.

The witch apprentice has been in the Seven Rings Tower for seventy years. Over the years, many witch apprentices who entered the Seven Rings Tower with her have advanced to become formal wizards and left one after another. However, this witch apprentice seems to have followed Green into her busy daily research on wizarding knowledge, forgetting everything outside.

Seventy years was just a short time for Green to conduct an experiment, and nothing in the context of a life spanning nearly two thousand years.

But for this witch's apprentice, half a lifetime has passed. Although she has paid attention to skin care and adjustments, she has inevitably transformed from a beautiful young girl into a woman with crow's feet.

"Master Green, here are your materials."

The witch apprentice gently handed over the materials Green needed, her focus and meticulousness reflecting Green's consistent research attitude, which was what Green was most satisfied with about her.

After a full three hourglasses.

Green finally completed today's male poison body tempering experiment formula, and nodded, looking very satisfied with the results.

Looking at Isapolo, who was staring blankly at the results of his experiment, Green calmly asked, "How's your understanding of the ice element I gave you?"

Based on the characteristic that Ice Marrow Crystallization can assist wizards in advancing their ranks, Green attempted to create a small-scale magic spell specifically designed to assist Isabolo's advancement, based on her Wind-like Body. Isabolo has been accumulating power for three months now, and it remains to be seen how effective Green's small experiment will be.

Although every form of witchcraft shares the same principle, the methods of practice differ from one witch to another. Therefore, it is essential to learn how to transform and apply knowledge.

"Reporting to Master Green, I had a preliminary assessment the night before last, and it seems that about a quarter of the power of the Frostwind has been accumulated. It should be fully charged in about nine more months."

Green nodded.

"Well, try advancing to a formal wizard when the time comes. With your current wizarding knowledge and understanding, it should be a natural and simple process."

There are three ways for a wizard to advance: strength, wisdom, and luck.

Having accompanied Grimm for so many years, from Grimm's perspective as a Level 3 Archmage, Isabolo's wisdom in ice and wind elemental knowledge, coupled with the minor auxiliary spells he created specifically for her out of boredom, makes her advancement to a full-fledged wizard almost a certainty.

In addition, the fifth phase of Grimm's Truth Project, the knowledge of advanced synthetic beasts that fuse flesh and energy, the exploration of knowledge beneath the cracks in the code of life, and the path of the elemental surge body refiner who simultaneously fuses the power of annihilation with the physical body are all underway.

……

One year later!

"Master Green, thank you for your care over the years. I have learned a lot from you. Although you have not accepted me as your disciple, you are already my mentor in my heart."

"Isaporo is excitedly speaking as she successfully advances to become a full-fledged wizard."

Little Eight, Lab, Thousand-Eyed Crab, and Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird also gathered around. Grimm smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go. Your wizarding path is still long. Remember the wizard's heart that seeks truth and knowledge. Also, during your first demon-hunting expedition, follow behind a high-level wizard. Don't be reckless. The world war in other realms is far too dangerous for someone like you who is still a demon-hunting novice."

"Yes, Master Green."

After bowing to Grimm, the witch apprentice followed the Seven-Ringed Snail Messenger away.

"Hehehe, young master, you've trained a proper wizard! He's more suited to be your mentor."

Faced with Xiao Ba's teasing, Green glared at Xiao Ba and said, "You actually had time to come back all the way here. I thought Ye Ye had already given birth to a litter of little Babies for you."

Xiao Ba was shocked and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh!? Young Master, you know everything?"

"Uh... know what?"

Green asked instinctively in surprise, and as Hachi hurriedly and shyly tried to cover it up with "Nothing, nothing," Green suddenly realized what was going on. Pointing at Hachi with his index finger, he mocked, "You two mated?"

"puff……"

The Thousand-Eyed Crab spat out a mouthful of saliva, and all seventy-nine heads of the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird froze instantly, their eyes wide, all staring at Xiao Ba. For a moment, the scene was eerily quiet.

……

Forty years later.

On the experimental table, the extensible surface of truth resembled a giant sheet of paper. After a final inspection of the rune system on the surface of truth, Grimm gently put down the quill and screwed the cap back on the high-grade magical ink.

"The fifth phase of the Truth Project, the exploration and perception, is finally complete!"

With magic gathered in his index finger, Grimm gently touched the expansive surface of truth. The alien marrow began to automatically coalesce, rapidly transforming into a gray-white mask with spiral patterns imprinted on it.

With Xiao Ba not around, and Labu playing outside with groups of Raindrop Flower Spirits, no one was celebrating anything for Green.

After taking a deep breath, Grimm put on the Mask of Truth, and in an instant, the world in Grimm's eyes changed.

The Face of Truth is a powerful magical artifact that allows one to perceive truth through appearances; it is the exclusive magical artifact that accompanies the growth of Grimm's knowledge.

Ok?

Green easily sensed several raindrop flower spirits secretly spying on him, and behind the blue sky and white clouds of the Seven Rings Holy Tower, there was a faint gaze looking at one of the many little crickets in his box.

A seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard?

The world of the seven rings in Green's eyes now seems to have unknowingly begun to "shrink," because Green's perception of truth has become increasingly broad and profound.
