Bloodline of the Wizard-Chapter 260 - 137 Level 2, Failure_2

The crystallization array required some time for "preheating" before it could exert enough pressure to further crystallize Ronan’s spiritual power, so the process of upgrading his Seal was fairly relaxed.

The rune of [Frozen Tundra Soil] was already etched into his heart, and Ronan carefully "sculpted" it, easily completing the upgrade of the entire Seal.

Then, taking the Solidification Potion that would soon be needed in hand, he waited for the pressure from the crystallization array to suddenly surge...

"Crack, crack—"

Finally, the spiritual power group entrenched in his mind began to show signs of collapsing inward, much like a fluffy snowball being gradually squeezed into a block of ice.

Ronan also felt threads of pain emanating from his soul.

He called forth the [Frozen Tundra Soil] Seal that had already been refined in his Consciousness Space and imprinted it into the contracting spiritual power group.

This was also another important aspect in which a Second-level Wizard surpassed a Level 1 Wizard—

For a Second-level Wizard, the Soul Seal would exist within a Spiritual Power Crystal, hence the connection with spiritual power would be much tighter; thus, the activation speed of the Seal would be faster, and the effects it brought about would far exceed those at Level 1.

"Linus! Get ready..."

As soon as the [Frozen Tundra Soil] Seal was fully imprinted into the spiritual power group, which had almost entirely crystallized and shrunk to less than one-tenth of its original size, Aunt Soraya’s reminding voice echoed in Ronan’s ears.

Ronan took a deep breath, acutely aware of something rapidly entering his body, then surging towards his mind.

To an observer, Ronan, who was now sitting cross-legged on the floor, was surrounded by a second Rune Formation glowing into activation. Countless rune lights twinkled as they penetrated his body, while numerous rune patterns on his body’s surface began to melt rapidly like dampened oil paint, slowly seeping into his skin and flesh...

The special elixir mixed with Third Rank Cold-Scaled Python Essence Blood began to reconverge in Ronan’s mind, and what he had to do now was to refine the [Ice Soul] before his spiritual power fully completed crystallization and embed it into the Crystal in time.

It was like merging two Seals into a single Spiritual Power Crystal.

Except the [Ice Soul] Seal, refined from Demon Beast Essence Blood, would be depleted with each activation. Once all the blood within it was expended, the Seal would vanish.

After Aunt Soraya’s series of preparations and adjustments, the Demon Beast Essence Blood would automatically carry away most of the impurities after the Seal was entirely exhausted, exerting minimal impact on spiritual and soul power.

For an average wizard undergoing "Talent Transplant," this step would not occur, and the contamination of the spirit and soul would be much more severe.

This too was a technical method not disclosed to the public by the numerous wizard families of White Stone Castle.

Ronan, enduring the pain in his soul, quickly used the Demon Beast Essence Blood seeping into his mind to finish refining the [Ice Soul] Seal and, just like he imprinted the [Frozen Tundra Soil] Seal, embedded the [Ice Soul] into the nearly final bit of the Spiritual Power Crystal yet to be completed.

Then he quickly opened the prepared Solidification Potion in his hand and drank it...

Instantly, a bright light burst within Ronan’s mind.

It was as if a crisp, delightful sound reverberated, and an almost transparent Crystal finally formed.

Within the clear and translucent Crystal, the [Frozen Tundra Soil] Soul Seal appeared like a naturally occurring mysterious pattern; fine, invisible tendrils extended from the edges, tightly interconnected with the entire Spiritual Power Crystal...

"Hu—"

As this Spiritual Power Crystal fully formed, the air around Ronan also seemed to drop, an imposing pressure emanating from within him, stirring up fierce currents of air in the silent room.

Aunt Soraya raised her hand slightly at the edge of the Array, immediately dissipating all currents of air, and the room returned to calm, leaving only Ronan sitting in the center, shimmering like a "radiant" being, now the most prominent "light source" in the room.

At the same time, new changes were taking place within Ronan’s mind.

That [Ice Soul] Seal which he had successfully embedded inside the Crystal silently shattered right after the Spiritual Power Crystal formed, followed by turning into a muddy sludge that was quickly expelled.

Only a tiny bit of light blue glow remained on the surface of the Crystal, melting away quickly like snow.

In a daze, Ronan seemed to catch glimpses of a huge deep blue serpent shadow, but it vanished in a flash before his eyes.

Subsequently, an abundance of insights and comprehensions regarding Ice Magic involuntarily arose in his mind, as if his understanding of Ice Magic had suddenly escalated to new heights!

"Whoom—"

Silent energy waves emitted from his being, a myriad of mysterious auras emerged, forming three types of Extraordinary Magic Domain Power, intertwining, as if there was a tendency to fuse as one...

"Linus!"

Aunt Soraya, who stood aside, beheld this scene and felt the aura of those three extraordinary magic domains. Astonishment, for the first time, painted her face, which bore the signs of both time and beauty.

Following that, her eyes burst with intense fascination, and her entire being seemed to subtly stir with excitement.

"Linus... my exceptional Linus..."

She softly called out, her face brimming with indescribable joy and pleasure.

The phenomenon of the intertwining magic domains lasted only a few breaths before coming to an abrupt end.

Then, Ronan, who was seated shirtless within the two rune formations, suddenly opened his eyes. The room, not particularly bright, exploded into a brilliant azure that slowly faded after a long while.

Standing up slowly from the center of the formation, Ronan’s pearly white hair fluttered as if touched by an unseen breeze, his entire form shrouded in a mysterious glow. A massive and invisible force field revolved around him, making him resemble a top-grade gem meticulously polished by satin, unabashedly radiating peerless splendor.

Finally... Level 2.

Ronan exhaled a breath of stale air lightly, the activated Neiman metal transforming back into his gray, silver-edged magic robe.

At this moment, Ronan felt that the whole world before his eyes seemed much clearer. The free energy particles active around his body had never felt so intimate as now.

This was the most direct change brought by the improvement of spiritual power and soul power.

[Name: Ronan Damien]

[Strength: Level 2 Official Wizard (1%)]

On the character panel, the strength had changed from Level 1 (150%) to Level 2 (1%), taking a step closer to stepping out of the mist...

Ronan gauged briefly, his current total spiritual power was about ten times that of before.

His original spiritual power was three times that of a late-stage Level 1 Wizard, meaning his spiritual power was at least thirty times greater "in quantity" than a typical late-stage Level 1 Wizard!

And this was not even considering the "quality" enhancement.

Currently, Ronan had fully retracted his spiritual power, yet the natural fluctuations of spiritual power escaping from him still caused the surrounding air and light to collapse and twist. This was beyond the reach of an ordinary Second-level Wizard.

"Those spells from before, with the pushing of Level 2 spiritual power, I estimate they have completely transformed..."

Ronan was even a bit impatient, wanting to quickly summon a spell to check the difference with his abilities at the late Level 1 stage.

"Linus..."

A soft call pulled Ronan back to reality from his self-contemplation.

"Aunt Soraya."

He responded respectfully.

At that moment, Soraya was looking at him as if admiring a rare treasure, her lips curled in a smile, her eyes shimmering with complex colors, filled with fondness and concern that seemed to have multiplied several-fold since before Ronan’s breakthrough.

"Good child..."

Soraya beckoned him over, gently touched his long hair, and whispered, "You were destined to be one of the Lansite family, the totem emblem of ’Ice Flame Iris’ will shine even brighter because of you..."

Listening to the low murmurs from Aunt Soraya by his ear, Ronan pondered and lifted his right hand. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Under the skin of his right palm, a dark red liquid quickly oozed out, which was the specially processed Cold-Scaled Python essence blood he had absorbed before, now being expelled like waste.

"Failed..."

Ronan revealed a bitter smile and spoke somewhat ashamedly, "It was a waste of this essence blood, perhaps the talent of the Cold Scaled Python really doesn’t suit me..."

Indeed.

Ronan’s "Talent Transplant" ultimately failed.

Ronan himself speculated it might be due to his spiritual power undergoing a purification, being too pure in quality.

After crystallization, the spiritual power simply could not tolerate any impurity, even actively expelling the already refined [Ice Soul] Seal as an impurity.
