[Physique: Four Symbols Sacred Body (Quality: Top-Tier Mid-Grade)]
Ian stared intently at the line of text, feeling as if a surge of heat was welling up from the depths of his body.
The Four Symbols Body is a rather unique constitution created by Metatron.
Compared to other top-tier extraordinary physiques, it has only one characteristic: balance.
However, this blank slate also brought him more possibilities for improvement.
In theory, as long as he keeps replenishing it, he could potentially build up the Four Symbols Sacred Body to an extremely terrifying level.
And now.
This extraordinary physique has already completed its first transformation.
"As for what changes have occurred?"
Ian closed his eyes and once again perceived his whole self.
Under normal circumstances, the Four Symbols Sacred Body is the Four Symbols Sacred Body, and the Emerald Shadow Physique is the Emerald Shadow Physique; the two should not merge.
But it seems that the uniqueness of the Four Symbols Sacred Body has generated some attraction.
Magic flowed through the body, and blood and qi surged in the muscles and blood vessels, but at this moment, these two forces began to intertwine and support each other.
With each heartbeat, the power of the Four Symbols surges throughout the body, becoming more powerful, as if imbued with a layer of vitality and resilience, making the power of the Four Symbols more "stable".
"My elementalization hasn't improved, but..."
'
Ian lowered his head, his fingers transforming into flames.
His eyes gleamed with fire, and he did nothing but watch calmly.
He watched the flames burn, and saw that he had already exceeded his limit.
"I used to be able to transform into an element for a maximum of three minutes, but now I can do it for at least six minutes."
Ian took a deep breath.
Elementalization is never without origin, but rather comes from the foundation accumulated within the body, and now this foundation is even thicker and more solid.
"This vitality has even improved my recovery and explosive power by at least 30%."
Ian's eyes flickered.
A top-tier extraordinary physique is terrifying enough, but a 30% improvement is practically like gaining an advanced extraordinary physique out of thin air.
And it's not just a simple increase.
Rather, it's about strengthening the body itself.
The same applies to physicalization.
Ian gently swung his fist, and his blood and qi seemed to carry a trace of elemental power.
It's enchanted?
Ian was puzzled, but it was indeed an improvement for his close combat skills. Unfortunately, so far, he had not had any enemies who had fought him to the point where he needed to use his physical strength.
This even made him somewhat hopeful.
Moreover, the compatibility of the powers made his physical body and elemental transformation faster and his reactions quicker.
This allows him to be more composed in battle.
"However, Cuiying's extraordinary physique, as a top-tier lineage of a fourth-ring wizarding academy, is already a top-tier physique, which is why she can get along so well. If we are to consider a new extraordinary physique in the future, it must at least be top-tier, or we should directly improve upon what we already have."
Ian also discovered why the two could blend together so well.
But that's a story for another time.
Because that's really too far away.
He already struggled to cultivate even one top-tier physique, let alone the second one from this secret realm. If a third one were to appear, Ian's scalp would tingle just imagining it.
"Wait, I need to check if there are any more resources."
Ian stepped out of the furnace and looked at the gate not far away.
walk over.
Place your hand on it.
As the Qi and blood were stimulated, layers of emerald green patterns reappeared on the surface of the body, and the gate lit up at the same time.
A few seconds later.
Boom!
The gate swung open with a loud crash.
Ian walked in, looked ahead, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
After seeing just this one door, a towering, thousand-meter-high mountain suddenly appeared in front of us.
Steps stretch from the foot of the mountain to the top.
"Is this the third floor?"
Ian slowly walked out, looked at the magnificent mountain peak, and his eyes flickered for a moment.
There was nothing in front of the mountain peak.
There was no explanation whatsoever.
"So we still have to make the trip!"
Ian took a deep breath, and without hesitation, strode towards the mountain peak, climbing the first step.
boom!
As soon as he took a step, Ian immediately sensed the difference.
An immense pressure surged from all directions, instantly tensing Ian's muscles and causing emerald green patterns to spread out.
"Does it test your physical fitness?"
At this point, the pressure was still within Ian's tolerance, and after it eased, Ian regained his composure.
"But it seems there's more."
He carefully felt this pressure.
It wasn't just physical oppression, but also a kind of oppression of will; Ian felt as if his will was being crushed by a mountain.
And after that.
Finally, information about this mountain peak entered his consciousness.
"The third level, the Peak of Will, is a thousand-step staircase. The physical body is the boat, and the will is the oar. The first person to reach the top with the Emerald Shadow Extraordinary Physique can completely obtain ownership of the small world secret realm."
The mountain of will.
Physical body...ship...will...ownership of the secret realm?
Ian's eyes gradually cleared, and combined with the second-ring inheritance he had previously obtained, he understood what it meant.
"Unlike the Four Symbols Sacred Body, the Emerald Shadow Extraordinary Physique is continuously strengthened on this basis, eventually making the Emerald Shadow patterns completely cover the entire body, like a suit of armor. However, the control of Qi and blood requires not only mental strength, but also extremely strong willpower. This is also the unique feature of the Second Ring Body Tempering Wizard."
Ian's eyes flickered.
The so-called will is actually the spiritual power infused with personal intention, which every wizard possesses to some extent.
However, the body-refining wizard must fully unleash its potential, even to the point where he can ignore all mental attacks with sheer willpower.
Eradicate one of the greatest flaws of the Body Tempering Wizard.
In the end, willpower can even be transformed into an active means of attack, which is even more powerful than the mental attacks of most wizards.
"What a bunch of brutes!"
Ian grinned, but he liked it.
What surprised him even more was that once he reached the top, he would gain ownership of the secret realm.
It's not like Ian now, with the freedom to come and go as he pleases, and even the ability to take it with him.
However, how to take Ian away is unclear; we'll only know once we reach the summit.
"Let's begin the climb."
Ian took a deep breath.
Step away.
As I climbed the second step, the pressure increased again, and the stinging sensation in my mind became more pronounced.
But Ian became even more excited.
He felt that his control over his mental power had become stronger, and it seemed that there were benefits to refining his mental power here.
Interesting, interesting.
Ian no longer had time to think and began to move towards the mountain peak, step by step.
Level 10.
Level 20.
Level 30.
Level 50.
The immense pressure caused Ian's Green Shadow Pattern to be fully activated, his blood and qi seemed about to explode, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It felt as if my will was being torn apart.
No more.
next second.
Ian left the place as if a mountain had been lifted off his body, panting heavily.
Gurgle.
My body is still trembling, a subconscious reaction from my body.
"A full thousand floors, it will probably take a lot of time."
Ian grinned.
But it doesn't matter, he will definitely get stronger and stronger, and sooner or later he will take ownership of the secret realm.
"And we also have the resources."
He looked to the other side and saw a stone platform with a considerable amount of resources for body tempering already laid out.
The mountain of will.
Each level you pass grants you certain resources, but only the first person to pass can receive them.
But perhaps by coincidence, Ian happened to be the first wizard to enter, so theoretically, he could obtain a certain amount of body-strengthening resources for each step he climbed.
"It's enough for me to use for a year."
Ian glanced at the resources and immediately felt reassured.
There was no other way; if he had to raise another Cuiying with an extraordinary physique, he would really go crazy.
"Try a few more times, and once we have enough resources, we can leave."
Ian took a deep breath.
He's been out for a while now and has achieved his goals, so naturally he should go back as soon as possible.
After all, the current situation is hard to predict.
So over the next three days, Ian attempted several more mountain climbs, each one higher than the last.
It reached a maximum of sixty floors.
After reaching the sixtieth floor.
Ian decisively chose to leave. After leaving, Ian cleansed his aura and returned to the academy.
"The situation has really changed a lot; it's all in chaos."
Ian easily tore the wandering wizard blocking his way to pieces, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The desperate counterattack of the Crimson Eye, driven mad, actually puts considerable pressure on the Elemental Arcane Arts.
This resulted in many loopholes within the scope.
There are some blind wizards like that.
It was like this all the way.
"So I think I should just stay at the academy for a few more years."
Ian quickened his pace and headed back to the academy.
Soon he saw the familiar academy, followed by his own wizard tower, and went inside.
He finally relaxed completely.
After returning home, he quickly reviewed the various events that had occurred during this period, mainly those related to the Alchemy Department.
Overall, nothing major happened.
Ian's mood finally calmed down.
soon.
Ian's life returned to stability.
The alchemy department gradually became busier, and Ian improved amidst the busyness, but now he also had to take on a body-strengthening task.
Time is very tight.
In his spare time, he also went to the library to look up information about Metatron's study of the Rhythm of Fire, hoping to find it.
But the Library of Elements only contains the most common information about him.
I pondered for a while.
Ian still wrote a letter to Edith, hoping she could help him search, and also gave her some unique resources that could enhance the physique of elemental wizards. These resources were mainly obtained from secret realms, and having the resources of a secret realm all to oneself was a bit too much.
Moreover, this is a necessary investment.
The academy and the Gray Tower have teleportation arrays that can transport such small items, and there is monthly communication between the two sides.
Ian applied to Simon, who had remained at the academy, but Simon had already returned.
"Edith, yes."
Simon looked at Ian with a strange expression.
He wouldn't have agreed to this if it were any other wizard, since it was for contacting the Radiant Wizarding Academy. But with Edith in it, he seemed to picture something and immediately agreed.
"Thank you, sir."
The letter was sent to the Gray Tower on the third day.
Ian received a reply.
He opened the envelope.
"To Ian:"
I received your letter and the resources. I tried the resource for strengthening the elemental wizard's physique, and the effect was better than I expected. Teacher, this kind of resource has been gone for a long time; even he doesn't know where to obtain it. Your generosity makes me a little embarrassed.
Regarding your question about Metatron's training in the Rhythm of Fire, I consulted the academy's library and found dozens of clues.
.
Ian smiled as he looked ahead, but his eyebrows furrowed when he saw "dozens".
So many?
However, as he continued reading, he immediately understood why there were dozens of entries.
The preceding are all legends and stories, such as Metatron being surrounded by a large bird burning with fire at his birth, and his encounter with the Fire Lord who taught him about fire...
Truth and falsehood intertwined.
Only a few of them were true, but fortunately Ian was looking for answers with a goal in mind.
And indeed, this story actually exists.
"Mettalon's lineage originated from an unknown small tribe whose name has long been lost to history. He received guidance from the tribe's priest to go to the largest nearby Fire Tribe to learn the power of fire. The tribal priest took him to a volcano near the tribe and had him climb up. It took him three days to climb two-thirds of the way up and master the power of fire."
A week later, just as he was about to reach the summit, danger struck the tribe, forcing him to turn back. It is said that upon his return, the local elements erupted, the area collapsed, and turned into a sea of fire. Metatron stood before the inferno, speechless for a long time.
Ian slowly read the short story aloud.
It's ridiculously simple.
The information about the Sky Dome Tribe was omitted. "But they only took three days to reach two-thirds of the way?"
Ian's lips twitched.
This wizarding world's number one player's talent is just too terrifying.
You should know that he truly completed the game in one life.
However, this little story also allowed him to guess roughly the conditions for completing this dream.
"It must be the volcano that we climbed to the top."
Ian murmured.
Dreams are often vivid fragments of a wizard's memory, and the key to finding the path to victory lies in finding the conditions for completing the game.
It's often just an obsession.
In this story, he clearly regrets not reaching the summit.
"I must say, clearing the dream world isn't always easy; you also have to search for some historical information."
After putting down the letter, Ian couldn't help but feel emotional.
Fortunately, Edith helped him in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't even know what the conditions for reaching the top were.
The resources weren't given away for nothing.
In the blink of an eye.
Another half month has passed.
The full-scale war has broken out, with the two third-ring elemental masters launching a full-scale attack, leading the war group to push forward all the way.
They soon arrived at the Crimson Eyes' base.
The latter activated a large-scale defensive magic array, with the Crimson Eye at its core, and launched a defensive battle against the academy.
Meanwhile.
Within the Alchemy Department, the two wizards who were competing with Ian at the time were also sent to the front lines.
This also made Ian pay more attention to the Alchemy Department.
Improve your abilities in the Alchemy Department so that you can be assigned to other people later in the future.
Several days later.
He ventured deeper into the dream once more.
There has been a lot of improvement since last time, but we are still far from the summit, and Ian controlled it very well this time.
Evacuate immediately when things are about to get out of control.
A broken dream after waking up is much less damaging than the original one.
The project team.
With the basic model in place, Ian began to improve gradually, and life suddenly returned to normal.
In the blink of an eye.
Three years have passed.
