Chapter 243 Silver-White Giant Shark, Second Ring Elementalization, Advances to Late First Ring!
"This is the second time."
Upon entering the main courtyard again, Ian looked up at the sky.
It seems the black lines have decreased again.
"It seems to really be related to the Four Symbols Resonance Method."
Thinking back to his initial guess, Ian narrowed his eyes, becoming even more certain of it.
I watched for a few seconds.
He headed towards the secret realm and soon arrived at the familiar square.
"Okay, go in."
After the wizard in charge reviewed the permissions, the passageway opened immediately.
A few seconds later.
Ian went inside.
Opening his eyes, the azure sea of spiritual energy reappeared before Ian's eyes, and he transformed into a spiritual form.
Strands of black lines flew towards the depths of the surrounding Sea of Spiritual Energy.
"Let's eat!"
Without hesitation, Ian followed the black line and saw a small, pale yellow fish.
A mental attack, sharp as a blade, was launched, but it was dodged.
Then it quickly surged into the depths.
Ian didn't care, he just sped up and continued the chase.
Soon, the pale yellow fish turned into specks of light and were absorbed by Ian.
"These are some insights about the earth element, not bad."
Ian's eyes lit up.
This knowledge was helpful for his research into the magic of ley lines.
"We'll be here for the next three days; we must gain as much experience as possible."
Time was of the essence, and Ian dared not delay, so he continued his search.
They caught another one quickly.
Time passed slowly, and various experiences filled Ian's consciousness.
He felt that his gains in just half a day were equivalent to the gains of an ordinary wizard in three days.
And in such an environment.
Two full days have passed for Ian.
On the third day, Ian felt his brain was about to explode, because he couldn't process too much consciousness at once.
"I'll have to learn a form of spiritual witchcraft when I get back."
Ian's chaotic mind raced, but he knew he couldn't continue; this was probably his limit.
"But since it ended early, why not take a closer look at the lower section?"
Ian pondered, looking down.
The deep blue seawater below shimmered even more brilliantly, as if it held some secret.
"If there's any danger, I'll be pulled out, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Ian touched an academy mark on his right hand, which he had since he entered the academy.
If the wizard encounters danger or his mental strength cannot withstand it, he will be pulled away.
But even so...
Once one's mental strength is injured, it takes a long time to recover, just like Victor did back then.
"Therefore, we must be cautious and, when necessary, actively trigger it."
With his mental focus, Ian's figure slowly plummeted downwards.
As Ian went further down, he noticed that the black lines became sparser, but often more numerous and thicker.
This suggests that individual creatures here possess greater spiritual power.
"For example, that..."
Ian looked into the distance and saw a blue octopus, several tens of meters long, slowly flying by.
Hundreds of black lines connect him.
"It's at least the mental strength of the late stage of the first ring." Ian shook his head, understanding that this was not something he could handle at the moment.
This place is all about pure spiritual power and elements, and his abilities in this area are not very strong.
It might need to be improved in the future.
"And that's not all, the creatures here seem to be more intelligent, even possessing an active tendency to attack." Ian then saw a phantom not far away, which appeared to be a human figure, likely an afterimage of the secret realm.
Her breathing was slightly weak, but she stared intently at him.
Sure enough, the next instant, a chilling force acting on mental energy transformed into a flying knife and flew towards Ian.
moment.
The Wind Barrier activated, and Ian veered to one side. At the same time, a flame flew towards the phantom.
It enveloped the phantom like a cage, and then gradually burned it.
Then, an experience about the water element entered his mind, which even included a complete early-stage first-ring sorcery.
"The deeper you go, the more experience you gain, and perhaps even more complete knowledge?"
Ian's eyes lit up.
This secret realm was more powerful than he had imagined.
But it is also more dangerous.
"However, it's still just the shallow area; we can take a closer look."
Ian continued to delve deeper.
There were more and more spiritual entities around, but most of them did not have any aggressive desires, so we did not encounter any danger.
However, just when he thought he could successfully reach the bottom of the shallow zone...
Suddenly, Ian felt a strong sense of threat.
Without hesitation.
Ian activated the mark, and his figure vanished instantly.
"The pale blue seawater rippled," and in the instant it disappeared, he saw the target of his attack, a huge, silvery-white spirit that was more than ten meters long.
His light black eyes were bright and intelligent, as if they possessed a touch of wisdom.
Simultaneously.
Hundreds of red lines emerged from its body, seemingly radiating a strong attraction.
"That is?"
Outside the secret realm, Ian's eyes flickered, as if he was still recalling the scene from just now.
The silver giant shark, and the red line that appeared.
"And why do I feel like we share a common origin?" Ian squinted, deep in thought.
Although the time was short, he felt a sense of near-identity with the shark.
That feeling is...
"The Four Symbols Resonance Method?"
An idea popped into Ian's head, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized it was true.
The aura and the feeling of the Four Symbols Meditation Method were almost identical.
"Could it be...?"
""
His throat moved slightly as he considered a possibility: that the white shark contained the fifth level of meditation techniques.
This is the complete Four Symbols Resonance Meditation Method.
Thinking of this possibility, Ian's breathing became rapid.
Without wasting any time, he quickly left the main courtyard and headed towards the Four Symbols Courtyard.
Kieran has been found.
"What?"
Kilan suddenly stood up, unleashing a massive surge of mental power like a tsunami.
Ian felt his breath catch in his throat, as if he were as small as an ant.
Is this a second-ring wizard?
"I'll go with you!"
Without hesitation, he spoke directly, and in the next instant, Ian felt himself flying towards the sky.
Normally, most areas of the branch campus and the main campus are off-limits to flying.
They even set up a dense array of witchcraft formations.
But at this moment, it seemed to have stopped working, and the two of them easily arrived at the secret realm again.
"Lord Kieran." The wizard in charge of guarding the area was startled to see Kieran, then said respectfully, "Open the secret realm. I need to go in. I'll replenish the resources."
Kieran said.
Second-circle wizards are different from first-circle wizards; they exert tremendous pressure on secret realms.
Therefore, the resources required are also completely different.
"OK."
The wizard nodded immediately and reopened the entrance, but it was several times larger than before.
"Let's go."
Kieran turned to Ian and said.
Ian was shocked by Kieran's speed, but he nodded nonetheless.
The two entered the secret realm together.
The familiar environment returned, and Ian had now returned to his normal spiritual form.
Kieran was supposed to be right next to him, but when he turned around, he froze instantly.
In his eyes, Kieran's figure was no longer human but a flowing "elemental storm" interwoven with four colors.
The crimson of flames, the gray of the wind, the yellow of the earth, and the azure of the water flowed and intertwined on his body. With each breath, elemental particles were stripped from his body and then quickly condensed again.
The immense mental pressure caused the surrounding "seawater" to automatically retreat, forming a vacuum area with a diameter of nearly 100 meters.
"The Elementalization of a Second-Ring Wizard —"
Ian's throat moved slightly.
He had heard that the core characteristic of a second-circle wizard was "elementalization," which meant completely merging one's spiritual power with the elements and no longer being bound by physical form.
But even seeing it for the first time, even in its spiritual form, still left Ian utterly shocked.
A complete wizard and a first-circle wizard are two different dimensions.
Especially in terms of mental strength alone, he felt as if Kieran in front of him was a giant.
There's simply no comparison, let alone in terms of combat strength.
"The Second Ring Road!"
Ian's throat bobbed slightly, and a great desire arose in his heart for the realm above the first ring.
That is a new level of life.
Kieran ignored Ian's surprise, closed his eyes to sense for a moment, and then suddenly opened them.
"Southeast, nearing the middle layer, follow me."
Before he could finish speaking, Ian felt himself enveloped by a gentle flow of elemental energy, and was carried rapidly downwards.
The "fish" spirits along the way fled in panic. Some who couldn't dodge in time were crushed by the four-colored halo and turned into pure spiritual energy fragments, which were automatically absorbed by Kilan.
Even Ian unexpectedly absorbed a great deal of knowledge.
Just one minute later, the two arrived at the area where Ian had been.
It took him almost half a day to get here.
There are no white sharks left here now.
Absolutely not.
Kieran did not give up and quickly expanded the search area, but still found nothing.
"no."
Kieran returned to his original position and shook his head.
"Teacher, is that really a follow-up to the Four Symbols Resonance Method?"
Ian couldn't help but ask.
"Most likely."
Kieran turned his head, nodded to Ian, and looked at Ian with a slightly questioning gaze.
Why was the white shark attracted to Ian?
It's worth noting that neither he nor his teachers, nor even those who became part of the Second Ring Road, encountered this situation.
But as soon as Ian entered, he was quickly drawn in.
I pondered for a long time.
He had a general idea in his mind.
"Perhaps it was the unique vibrations from the meditation method you learned that attracted him," Kieran guessed.
"Then why wasn't it there before?"
Ian was puzzled.
"It might be related to your skill level," Kieran said after a moment of silence.
Ian's mastery and refinement of the Four Symbols Resonance Meditation technique were terrifying, which may have been the reason that attracted the white shark.
"Don't come in for a while. Wait until you advance to the late stage of the first ring."
Kieran turned his head and said.
"OK."
Ian nodded, even though he couldn't enter even if he advanced to the late stage of the first ring.
That requires advancing to the next training sequence.
But there's obviously no need to bring up such a trivial matter now.
"And I'm afraid this great white shark doesn't mean any harm." Kieran turned to look at Ian.
The next instant, Ian felt a surge of spiritual energy pass through him, and a faint silver mark appeared on his hand, resembling the moon.
"this?"
Ian's eyes widened. When did this happen?
"This great white shark is probably at a higher level than you think, possibly even reaching the second ring level."
Kieran said calmly.
"this!"
Ian was stunned.
If it's truly second-ring mental power, combined with Kieran's imposing aura just now...
How could he possibly escape?
"It might even be a test for you, or even a trick on you. I just remembered something, something I think I saw in my teacher's notes. He wrote that he had seen a great white shark, and he tried to catch it, but he couldn't catch it at all," Kieran said calmly.
Is it a test?
Is this a test to see if he is qualified to receive the inheritance?
Ian's eyes flickered.
But what are the standards?
Ian was also puzzled.
"Don't overthink it. Since that white shark doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you, there's nothing to worry about. It might indeed contain some kind of legacy, but it's definitely not something you can receive right now."
"What you need to do now is become stronger, whether it's mental strength or meditation techniques. You can come back after you've advanced and gained the qualifications," Kieran said, turning his head.
"Okay, teacher."
Ian nodded.
Indeed, this is not something he should be thinking about right now; this great white shark is still too mysterious for him.
"However, I will leave you temporarily, but at a safe distance, to see if that great white shark will reappear."
Kieran continued, still somewhat unwilling.
"Okay, teacher."
Ian nodded.
Soon, Kieran's figure slowly disappeared, and a few minutes later, a silver-white figure appeared.
But before Ian could see clearly, the silvery-white color had already disappeared, though he seemed to have received a message.
"Too weak, let's try again after the fourth floor."
The next instant, Kieran appeared beside him, looking at the azure sea not far away.
Ian also told Kieran about it.
"Let's come after the fourth floor."
Kieran didn't say anything, only calmly stating that, currently, it seems only Ian can attract this great white shark.
Ian nodded as well.
"And teacher, this mark seems to have another function," Ian suddenly said.
He suddenly realized something.
He had already reached his limit, but he was still able to continue absorbing knowledge.
The only change is the addition of this mark, which seems to help him bear more of the pressure that comes with knowledge.
"This is a good thing."
Kieran nodded, looking at Ian with a growing sense of importance in his eyes.
Over the years, he has taken on many students, but Ian is the first to be able to actively attract the white shark.
"Come see me again when you're ready to advance, and I'll tell you about the domain and provide you with a top-tier elemental pool for a breakthrough," he said.
"Thank you, teacher."
Ian's eyes lit up.
The incident involving the white shark was just an accident.
However, it helped Ian absorb a lot of knowledge, which he then began to process after returning home.
At the same time, the speed at which various forms of witchcraft improve also accelerates during this process.
In the blink of an eye.
Two months later, Ian had finished digesting all the knowledge.
The Darkfire runes have improved significantly, with several reaching Master level.
Ian had originally estimated that the ley line vibration would only reach the proficiency level, but due to Kieran's unexpected action, he absorbed far more knowledge than normal and reached the master level.
Secondly, the second level of the Body Tempering Technique has also been upgraded to the Master level.
The total talent points increased by only about 300, bringing the total talent level to 7800.
But none of that matters. What matters is that he has already met the requirements for advancing to the later stage of the first ring.
After sufficient preparation.
Ian went to the Elemental Pool.
In the element pool.
Ian looked at the various resources, medicines, and other items piled up in front of him.
A breakthrough has begun.
