[Energy Level: 22]
[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous, Immediate Action Recommended]
“Energy intensity of 22!” Innocent was stunned. “This is the energy intensity of a Wizard!”
Fleming and Donoghan were shocked when they heard this.
Wizard-level energy intensity?
Could it be Lord Sunan?
But it couldn’t be. If it were Lord Sunan, the Star Eye wouldn’t have given an alert.
Fleming was about to ask, but he saw Innocent’s expression change, becoming a mix of surprise and envy.
“Mentor?”
Innocent came back to his senses, waving his hand to signal them not to panic. Then, with a complex sigh, he said, “It seems like the Star Alliance will have another official Wizard.”
The moment the energy burst occurred, Tower Spirit No. 1 reported it to Sunan.
“Which training room?”
[Training Room 803, user is Scepter.]
“He has become a Wizard.”
Sunan smiled slightly, not surprised.
Out of the three, Rose, Scepter, and Traveler, Scepter was undoubtedly the most likely to become a Wizard.
In fact, anyone who could become a Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice in this era of elemental deserts would be considered a genius with the potential to become a Wizard in the golden age of magic.
Let alone Scepter and the others, who were among the best of the Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices.
If they hadn’t joined the Star Alliance so late, wasting so much time earlier, they would have already become Wizards based on their potential.
Thankfully, they finally managed to breakthrough, achieving success after years of hard work.
“I wonder how Rose and Traveler are doing?”
Tower Spirit No. 1 was constantly monitoring the entire Wizard Tower. Rose and Traveler’s training rooms were still quiet, but their life energies were present, proving they were alive and still training.
However, based on the time, they would likely break through in the next 10 to 20 years.
The short-lived energy burst caused by the breakthrough quickly dissipated. Sunan patiently waited for a few days, until Scepter emerged from the training room, before teleporting him to his presence.
Seeing Scepter, who was now more imposing and whose aura was more profound and restrained, Sunan smiled and said, “Welcome to the world of Wizards.”
“Thank you!”
Even though it had been a few days, Scepter still couldn’t hide his excitement and joy.
His long-held goal had finally been achieved, and even with his composure, he couldn’t help but feel excited and thrilled.
Fackado and the others soon arrived.
The moment they saw Scepter, they knew their suspicions were true and they couldn’t help but express their envy.
“Congratulations on your breakthrough, Lord Scepter!”
“Congratulations to Lord Scepter on his advancement to Wizard!”
Everyone offered their congratulations, now using respectful titles.
Once they became Wizards, they were no longer on the same level as these Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices.
They were required to respect and revere Wizards, something every Sorcerer Apprentice had to do.
After offering their congratulations, everyone understood that Sunan and Scepter had something to discuss, so they politely took their leave.
“How are you feeling?” Sunan asked.
Scepter’s expression was complex. “I now understand what you meant about the energy particle concentration limit, Lord. I actually feel a bit uncomfortable now.”
Sunan said, “This is still good, because we’re within the range of the Elemental Pool’s effect. Once we leave Dragon Forest and go outside, you won’t want to stay for even a moment.”
Scepter’s excitement and elation from becoming a Wizard had subsided somewhat, and he sighed.
“The environment of Starlight Continent is too harsh on Wizards. Even with the Elemental Pool, the cultivation speed is slowed down to a ridiculous degree.”
Sunan agreed with him.
Even large Elemental Pools had limited effect on improving meditation efficiency.
If it hadn’t been for the ability to synthesize Elemental Crystals and absorb divine energy, Sunan wouldn’t have been able to break through from First-Rank Vaporization to First-Rank Crystallization in just 60 years.
Just relying on the Elemental Pool’s buff, it would take hundreds of years to reach First-Rank Crystallization.
Even with the Fourth-Rank Soul Crystal Potion, it would still take 300 to 400 years to break through.
If the environment of Starlight Continent remained unchanged, Sunan estimated that Scepter would never be able to become a Second-Rank Wizard in his lifetime.
It would be remarkable if he could break through to First-Rank Crystallization before reaching the end of his life.
Sunan could generously include Elemental Pool buffs and Soul Crystal Potions in the exchange list, allowing others to exchange them with contribution points. However, Elemental Crystals were different.
He didn’t even have enough for himself, so he couldn’t possibly share them with others.
Perhaps when the divine energy in Elemental Crystals became significantly less effective for him, he could consider putting some into the exchange list.
“Don’t worry, this situation won’t last forever. It will gradually recover.”
Scepter was taken aback by Sunan’s words. He subconsciously asked, “Recover?”
“Now that you’ve become a Wizard, there are some things you should know.”
Sunan patted Scepter’s shoulder, telling him about the Wizards’ expedition a thousand years ago and how the planar barriers would gradually recover in the future.
Previously, Scepter was only a Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice, so knowing these things would be useless and only cause unnecessary worry.
But now he was a Wizard, a top combat force in the Star Alliance, so he deserved to know everything.
This was also to give him some hope, preventing him from losing all hope and giving up, thinking that he would never have the chance to become a Second-Rank Wizard.
After hearing Sunan’s words, Scepter was in a daze.
He never imagined that Starlight Continent had such an incredible hidden truth.
Everything was beyond his comprehension, making him feel like he was touching upon a whole new world.
But after recovering, Scepter couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
This meant that in 600 years, Starlight Continent would return to its original state, and he could cultivate normally.
With the Star Alliance’s resources, he might have the opportunity to advance further, becoming a Second-Rank Wizard!
Seeing Scepter’s excited expression, Sunan smiled and mentioned another matter.
“Are you interested in becoming the Dean of Starlight Academy?”
“Dean?” Scepter was slightly taken aback.
“Yes, the position of Dean has been vacant because there wasn’t a suitable candidate, but now it’s different. You’ve become a Wizard, you’re fully qualified to become the Dean.”
Scepter hesitated only slightly before nodding in agreement.
The Dean of Starlight Academy held a high position within the Star Alliance, and he would also receive more resources, so he wouldn’t refuse.
After a few more conversations, Sunan left.
Watching Sunan leave, Scepter’s eyes flickered.
Even before becoming a Wizard, he couldn’t see through Sunan’s true strength. He only felt that there was a mist around him, making him unfathomable.
He originally thought that after becoming a Wizard, the gap between him and Sunan would narrow somewhat.
However, the reality was beyond his expectations.
Standing in front of Sunan, he still couldn’t see through his power.
The only change was that he felt immense pressure from Sunan.
It was like an ant couldn’t feel the terror of a human, but a three-year-old child could understand the strength of an adult.
From this perspective, the gap between him and Sunan had indeed narrowed somewhat.
Thinking about it, Scepter couldn’t help but laugh.
Collecting his thoughts, he turned and walked towards the teleportation hall, preparing to go to the warehouse area to exchange for Soul Crystal Potions to aid in his cultivation and stabilize his realm.
He also wanted to get some Wizard weapons. He had been coveting them for a long time, and now he could finally exchange for them.
But before that, he needed to acquire enough contribution points.
Wizard weapons were expensive!
The news of Scepter’s advancement to Wizard spread quickly throughout the Star Alliance, causing a major stir.
It also gave all the Sorcerer Apprentices a boost of morale.
Scepter’s advancement undoubtedly showed that becoming a Wizard on Starlight Continent was still possible!
As for Sunan, he wasn’t someone they could use as a goal.
There was only one Sunan on Starlight Continent. Anyone who thought they could become the second Sunan would only be laughed at.
After a few days, Sunan gave a wave of his hand and appointed Scepter as the first Dean of Starlight Academy, responsible for managing all aspects of the academy.
While serving as Dean, Scepter also took on some of the work related to making Soul Crystal Potions and refining Mithril Golems.
With his help, the workload on Sunan’s shoulders finally decreased somewhat.
Time flew by, and soon it was Starlight Calendar Year 1362.
Thunderbolt Month (April).
Sunan finally successfully synthesized a Large Elemental Pool.
With the buff of the Large Elemental Pool, the filling progress of the talent crystal model increased by 0.11% in just one month, almost twice as fast as before.
[Talent Crystal Model Filling Progress: 22.31%]
“Not bad, at this rate, the talent crystal model will be completely filled in at most 60 years.”
Sunan smiled in satisfaction.
It was worth it that he manufactured more than a dozen Small Elemental Pools to synthesize a Large Elemental Pool. The effect was truly significant.
With a thought, Sunan brought up the Wizard Tower’s 3D model.
[Wizard Tower: Starlight]
[Level: Small (Construction Progress 62.68%)]
[Current Energy Remaining: 88.22%]
[Intelligent Auxiliary Life: Tower Spirit No. 1]
[Facilities: Elemental Pool (Large/Enhanced), Central Crystal Energy Transmission System, Residential Area, Warehouse Area, Experimental Area, Practice Area, Meditation Area, Planting Area]
[Servants: Clay Golems x 130]
[Defensive Mechanisms: Maze Protection Energy Field (Medium/Enhanced)]
[Combat Mechanisms: Spell Cannon Tower Type II x 118, Disintegration Cannon Type II, Golem Legion (Mithril Golem x 823, Touchmaster Puppet x 2, Secret Puppet x 4)]
Looking at the data provided by Tower Spirit No. 1, Sunan nodded silently.
The Maze Protection Energy Field had already been enhanced to Medium, and the next step was to continue enhancing it to Large.
He estimated that he would need to manufacture another 10 or so Small Maze Protection Energy Fields to synthesize them into a Large one.
This was still a considerable undertaking.
However, the workload was secondary. The real limiting factor was the cost.
Currently, the Star Alliance was investing half of its annual revenue into the construction of the Wizard Tower, and even so, they couldn’t use it freely.
If it weren’t for the limitations of funds and materials, the construction time of the Wizard Tower could be reduced by at least one-third.
The Spell Cannon Tower Type II was still under construction, with Sunan assigning part of the work to Scepter, who would manufacture the original Spell Cannon Towers, and then he would synthesize them.
Thanks to Scepter, the manufacturing speed of the Spell Cannon Tower Type II was much faster.
The Disintegration Cannon Type II was a new invention, synthesized using eight original Disintegration Cannons, and it was far more powerful than the Spell Cannon Tower Type II!
Sunan had tested it with the Touchmaster Puppet, and it had lost half its body with just a glancing blow!
If it was hit directly, it would be completely vaporized!
This power was definitely enough to instantly kill any First-Rank Wizard!
He didn’t know how effective it would be against a Second-Rank Wizard.
Sunan estimated that it would likely be able to instantly kill a Second-Rank Vaporization Wizard, while a Second-Rank Liquidation Wizard could at most be severely injured.
A First-Rank Wizard operating a Small Wizard Tower could withstand a Second-Rank Wizard.
His enhanced Small Wizard Tower would definitely be able to defeat a Second-Rank Wizard.
However, the Disintegration Cannon Type II also had a problem, which was its extremely high energy consumption.
With the Large Elemental Pool equipped, a single shot would consume 12.83% of the energy.
Firing a few shots would result in the Wizard Tower facing energy shortages.
If it were a Small Elemental Pool, a single shot could potentially cripple the entire Wizard Tower.
This weapon was not something that normal Small Wizard Towers could equip, and it was even doubtful for Medium Wizard Towers.
Without a Large Elemental Pool, they couldn’t handle the energy consumption of the Disintegration Cannon Type II.
Even with a Large Elemental Pool, it couldn’t be used as a conventional weapon. It could only be included in the final battle sequence.
But Sunan had originally created the Disintegration Cannon Type II as a final battle weapon, so it didn’t matter.
He already had the Spell Cannon Tower Type II as a conventional weapon.
“The power of the Disintegration Cannon Type II definitely surpasses the Plasma Cannon. I wonder how it compares to the Pulse Cannon?”
Sunan pondered silently.
Liza had the design drawings for the Plasma Cannon, but the main materials for manufacturing it included Elemental Source Crystals, which were currently unavailable.
Thankfully, he had the Disintegration Cannon Type II, which was enough for now.
The Golem Legion was still under construction, and there was still a significant amount of work to be done.
The main problem was the lack of Mithril Golems and Touchmaster Puppets.
With Scepter’s help, the progress of Mithril Golem manufacturing was much faster.
But Sunan could only manufacture the Touchmaster Puppets by himself.
Scepter’s [Puppet Refining] skill level was not yet sufficient to manufacture Wizard-level puppets.
“Those are the combat mechanisms. The other things are the Floating Ring and the Tower Spirit.”
As for the Floating Ring, he was still accumulating materials for it, primarily a large amount of mithril.
Sunan intended to manufacture this device at the very end.
For the Tower Spirit, he had planned to manufacture three from the beginning, each responsible for daily operation, battle command, and experimental assistance.
Tower Spirit No. 1 was responsible for daily operation.
“I have all the Legendary Soul Crystals. I’ll start by manufacturing the Tower Spirit responsible for experimental assistance.”
Sunan quickly decided on his main tasks for the coming period, then estimated the time and progress.
“The Wizard Tower should be completed before Starlight Calendar Year 1400.”
Thinking about the fact that he would soon have his first complete Wizard Tower, Sunan couldn’t help but feel excited.
With the Wizard Tower, as long as he became a Second-Rank Wizard, he wouldn’t be afraid of even a Third-Rank Wizard.
The Wizard Tower and the Star Alliance were his biggest bargaining chips in his future battle against the Shadow Throne. (End of Chapter)
