Chapter 180: Promotion Wizard
Having made his decision, Su Nan immediately put it into action.
He sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out a bottle of Construct Potion, swallowed it, and began constructing the Talent Crystal Model.
Under the effects of the Construct Potion, Su Nan felt the activity of his entire spirit increase to an astonishing degree.
The speed at which he constructed the runes increased exponentially!
In fact, the improvement that the Construct Potion brought to meditation efficiency was also considerable.
However, the Construct Potion was extremely precious, and generally, no one would use it for meditation.
That would simply be a waste of heavenly resources!
With the fourfold boosts from God Blood Amber, Transcendental Potion, Elemental Pool, and Construct Potion, Su Nan's progress in constructing the Talent Crystal Model was astonishing, showing remarkable advancements each day.
In just thirteen days, he successfully constructed his second Talent Crystal Model.
Thirteen days later, he successfully completed the third Talent Crystal Model.
Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth…
With eighty-six bottles of Construct Potion at his disposal, Su Nan had no need to worry about running out. He wasn't stingy at all, immediately taking a second bottle as soon as the effect of the potion wore off.
Each time he constructed a Talent Crystal Model, he would open the Magic Cube to check on the fusion progress.
When the number of Lower Level Talent Crystal Models in the Magic Cube increased to four, the words "prototype Middle Talent Crystal" finally appeared on the synthesis interface.
When the count increased to twelve, the "Intermediate" label on the synthesis interface instantly changed to "Upper Level."
And when the number exceeded twenty, reaching twenty-five, the finished product on the synthesis interface became "Super Talent Crystal Model."
"Success!"
Looking at the gleaming Talent Crystal Model on the synthesis interface, Su Nan's face broke into an unrestrained smile.
After expending so much effort and time, he had finally synthesized his desired Talent Crystal Model.
Considering the history of wizards, this was likely the first Talent Crystal Model to surpass the Upper Level!
Su Nan attempted to absorb the Divine Energy Crystal containing the Talent Crystal Model into his body. He concentrated, sensed it for a moment, and nodded to himself in satisfaction.
"The burden isn't obvious; I can continue to synthesize and strengthen!"
Since he had decided to create an unprecedentedly powerful Talent Crystal Model, Su Nan knew he couldn't settle for just the 'Super' tier boundary.
He had to be like the Magic Pattern Core, continuously synthesizing and strengthening until he reached his own limit.
Taking a deep breath, Su Nan continued his construction.
The twenty-sixth, the twenty-seventh, the twenty-eighth...
Every thirteen days, he added one Divine Energy Crystal to his Magic Cube.
Each time he synthesized, Su Nan absorbed it into his body, keenly sensing whether he was approaching his limit.
It wasn't until he fused the thirty-second crystal that he finally felt that familiar sense of reaching his threshold.
It was remarkably similar to the sensation he had experienced while fusing with the Magic Pattern Core.
"It seems that thirty-two is the limit."
Su Nan let out a sigh of relief, though a hint of regret lingered.
He still had quite a bit of Construct Potion left; it would have been wonderful if he could have synthesized eighty-six Talent Crystal Models until the potion was completely used up.
However, he also recognized that his desire was a bit too greedy.
Creating the Superior Talent Crystal model only required twelve "Lower Level" crystals.
The final product he held now had consumed a full thirty-two "Lower Level" crystals. Its power wasn't merely double that of the Superior Talent Crystal; it was at least five or six times stronger, perhaps even more.
Using this unparalleled Talent Crystal to advance to Wizard, his future strength and potential would certainly surpass those of other Wizards.
To be any more greedy would be ungrateful.
Shaking his head with a chuckle, Su Nan composed himself and carefully absorbed the Divine Energy Crystal into his body, beginning the process of assimilation.
Having previously absorbed Divine Energy, the entire process went very smoothly.
Before long, the Divine Energy Crystal had vanished as a carrier, merging seamlessly into Su Nan's Spiritual Power.
At the same time, the Talent Crystal Model emerged in his mind.
A magnificent crystal, embodying the ultimate beauty of patterns, floated before him, emitting a gentle, enchanting glow that was enough to make anyone marvel.
"Now, only the last step remains!"
A relaxed smile spread across Su Nan's face.
The most challenging part of constructing the Talent Crystal was the second step; the final step was simply a matter of time.
Even though this unprecedented Super Talent Crystallization would predictably require a massive amount of Spiritual Power, he had the Golden Apple and over a dozen Spirit Beads, so the overall difficulty of the entire process shouldn’t be too high.
He took out a Spirit Bead and held it in his hand, with Su Nan beginning the final step of the Crystallization solidification.
There were no techniques to employ in the entire process; it was simply a matter of stuffing the Spiritual Power into the mold.
It wasn't until an entire Spirit Bead was consumed that he found the Talent Crystal Model less than two percent filled.
For a moment, Su Nan was unsure whether to feel worried or happy. The Super Talent Crystallization indeed required an exaggerated amount of Spiritual Power for filling.
Under normal circumstances, one Spirit Bead would be sufficient to fill almost half of a Lower Level Talent Crystal Model.
But now, it could only fill a small portion of the Super Talent Crystal Model.
Even if he used up all the dozen or so Spirit Beads, he would only manage to fill less than thirty percent.
However, the greater the amount of Spiritual Power needed for filling, the more powerful the Talent Crystal would ultimately be.
This was undoubtedly a good thing.
"I can only use the Golden Apple."
Taking the Golden Apple from his Space Ring, Su Nan gazed at the golden fruit, feeling a slight reluctance.
This was one of his greatest trump cards.
Using it like this felt a bit painful.
But when he considered the prospect of taking a dozen or even twenty years to fill the Talent Crystal Model, Su Nan finally gritted his teeth and consumed the Golden Apple.
Given that the effect lasted only for an hour, he didn’t delay; immediately, he focused his Spirit, mobilizing the Spiritual Power to pour frantically into the model.
An endless stream of Spiritual Power surged into the model from all directions. The Crystallization section within the model began to visibly increase, the light it emitted growing ever more radiant.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
When the effects of the Golden Apple faded, he saw that the Talent Crystal Model was only filled to about three percent.
"The effect of the Golden Apple is indeed stronger!" Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.
That sensation of boundless Spiritual Power, no matter how much he used, was truly wonderful.
If it could have lasted for another half hour, it would have been sufficient to completely solidify the model.
After resting for a while, Su Nan took out another Spirit Bead and continued filling.
Having used up all the Spirit Beads in one go, the model's filling ratio had reached approximately 95%.
"The rest is just a matter of refining," Su Nan exhaled.
Compared to starting from scratch, completing the final 5% was much simpler.
In the following period, Su Nan began the repetitive process of filling Spiritual Power, meditating for recovery, and filling Spiritual Power again.
Although tedious, he felt an unspeakable sense of satisfaction as he watched the model gradually approach completion, finding it far from boring.
He could not tell how much time had passed, but when the last blank space in the model was filled with Spiritual Power and Crystallization, an explosion of brilliant light erupted from the model—no, from the crystal's surface.
The entire crystal radiated a dazzling light, more beautiful than the most precious gem in the world!
At the same time, a surge of sublimation, originating from the depths of his soul, coursed through him.
Su Nan slowly opened his eyes, and a large quantity of rare metal appeared out of thin air in front of him, quickly melting like heated butter into liquid metal that continuously fused into his skin.
His originally fair skin gradually took on a silvery hue as the liquid metal integrated into it.
In the blink of an eye, Su Nan transformed into a silver humanoid.
As time passed, the silver color faded, melding back into his skin.
Su Nan's face emerged again, beaming with a radiant smile.
The Talent Crystal had been successfully constructed, meaning that from this moment on, he was a true wizard, his life essence evolving to a higher level!
Reflecting on his journey, Su Nan couldn't help but sigh.
He had spent nearly twenty years to finally break through and become a wizard!
Achieving this milestone on the Starlight Continent, where Elemental Energy was scarce, had required countless resources, mental effort, and sacrifices—even with his Golden Finger.
Now, all those sacrifices were rewarding him handsomely!
Advancing to wizard status meant he had truly transcended the mortal realm, evolving into a higher life form.
From this moment on, he could be regarded as having genuinely embarked on the path of a wizard.
After a while, Su Nan finally recovered from his joy.
He stretched his body, rose, and moved around a bit. Despite having sat still for a long time, his body didn’t feel sore at all—instead, it was full of energy.
His spirit was exceptionally clear, with his senses far more acute than before.
It felt as if the entire world had previously been shrouded in a thin veil, and now that veil had been lifted.
"My perception of Energy Particles is much clearer now, and my control over them has improved significantly."
Su Nan snapped his fingers, and a spark of electric light crackled from his fingertip, striking the White Jade Stone floor nearby, instantly creating a deep pit in the remarkably hard surface.
"Not bad!"
A satisfied smile spread across Su Nan's face.
He could clearly sense that the amount of Energy Particles he could mobilize in a given time had increased by more than tenfold, and the precision of his control had also improved dramatically.
Now, a casual strike using his control over Energy Particles was as powerful as his previous Second Circle Spell techniques.
If he were to cast a true Spell technique, its power would be even greater.
More importantly, the Spiritual Power consumption for a Wizard using a Spell would be significantly reduced.
From this realm onward, a Wizard's combat endurance would greatly increase, earning them the nickname of a "human-shaped self-propelled cannon."
Of course, the lowest consumption still came from the Innate ability.
It was practically negligible.
Thus, in most cases, a Wizard would tend to rely on Innate abilities in battle.
Additionally, a Wizard could release Spiritual Power to envelop their body, forming a Mental Field.
This Mental Field would not affect the Wizard's daily life, but it would automatically resist damage when under attack, providing a layer of protection twenty-four hours a day.
This was also the primary reason why Wizards were so difficult to assassinate through sneak attacks.
"Speaking of which, now that I’ve advanced to Wizard, I can also start using Wizard Artifacts."
Su Nan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
His Dim Magic Item was gradually falling behind his strength. Previously, he couldn’t utilize higher-level Magic Item techniques due to the limitations of his Spiritual Power, but now that he had broken through, those restrictions naturally vanished.
Su Nan immediately resolved to synthesize a few Wizard Artifacts upon his return.
Innate ability, Spell, and Wizard Artifact were the three most commonly used techniques by a Wizard.
A qualified Wizard must learn to combine these three elements and, based on that foundation, develop their own combat system.
The significance of a Wizard's Artifact is undeniably clear.
Calming his mind, Su Nan summoned his personal panel.
【Su Nan·Aernest, Human Male】
【Vaporization: 1.34%】
【Skills】
Star Ring Meditation Lv19 (MAX) Potion Making Lv4 (9617/10000) Biological Modification Lv4 (874/10000) Puppet Refining Lv5 (8930/20000) Magical Item Manufacturing Lv4 (6488/10000)
After breaking through to a new realm, the original Spirit and Physique attributes had vanished, replaced by progress in Vaporization.
Su Nan directed his Spirit inward and noticed wisps of misty gas swirling around the Talent Crystal, enveloping it in a faint fog. The light emitted by the crystal flickered intermittently.
This misty gas represented the Spiritual Power of Vaporization.
In the world of Wizards, those who had condensed a Talent Crystal were collectively known as Crystal Wizards.
Crystal Wizards were categorized into three levels, from low to high.
A newly promoted Wizard was classified as a First Level Wizard.
Based on the manifestation of Spiritual Power, it was further divided into three main stages: Vaporization, Liquefaction, and Crystallization.
During the Vaporization stage, a Wizard needed to continuously enhance and refine their Spiritual Power until it fully transitioned to Liquefaction, at which point they could break through to the first level of the Liquefaction realm.
Following this, the process of enhancing and refining the Spiritual Power would continue until it reached Crystallization, allowing them to break through to the first level of the Crystallization realm.
Upon attaining this realm, the Wizard could begin preparing to construct a second Talent Crystal, paving the way for promotion to a Second Level Wizard.
“The question is how to enhance and refine Spiritual Power,” Su Nan pondered thoughtfully.
After being promoted to Wizard, the effects of Meditation had become negligible.
Star Ring Meditation could not level up any further, as the number of Star Rings could no longer increase.
"If there were no external forces assisting, an ordinary Wizard relying solely on meditation would probably need a hundred years or even more to break through to the first level of the Liquefaction Stage.
Therefore, peculiar objects or potions that can enhance and condense Spiritual Power are essential for any Wizard.
However, Su Nan wasn't particularly concerned.
After all, with the Synthesis Cube by his side, the necessary resources were not lacking.
"Once I get back, I can start synthesizing fourth-tier potions."
Su Nan felt somewhat invigorated.
After advancing to the rank of Wizard, many tasks that were previously impossible were now within reach.
He could refine Wizard Artifacts and higher-tier potions.
He could also conduct experiments that require Wizard-level Spiritual Power to complete.
All of these could be added to his agenda.
"Looks like I'll be busy for a while."
Su Nan smiled, glancing upwards.
Reflecting on the time, he realized he had been in the Star Tower for quite a while now.
Just constructing the numerous Lower-Level Talent Crystal Models took more than a year, and filling them took another half a year, totaling over two years.
He wondered what the situation outside was like now.
