Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems

From Locke's left hand, a phantom of a Second Circle magical artifact flew out. This artifact was the Bronze Cauldron that Great King Otto had given him. After the Bronze Cauldron flew out, it immediately fell toward the ground and rapidly grew in size, transforming into the scale of a small mountain and directly pressing down on a large number of Rain Mantises.

A large number of Rain Mantises were immediately crushed by this artifact, their rain-pattern stone cores shattering.

After their deaths, their spirituality transformed into a flood that was absorbed into the Bronze Cauldron. A flame then appeared inside the Bronze Cauldron, which was the Primordial Fire.

Now that Locke had become a Second Circle wizard, he could also fully harness the power of this Primordial Fire. From the perspective of a Second Circle wizard, the reason this Primordial Fire was so extraordinary was that this single flame contained the primordial state of planar power, which was primordial force.

In other words, a First Circle potion master who possessed the Primordial Fire was, through this rare magical artifact, using above-their-tier a portion of the characteristics of a Second Circle wizard.

Locke recalled Great King Otto, whom he had met in the Chronicles of the Era of Stars. Great King Otto had passed the magical drug Reverse Refinement Method to him, hoping that he could allow his most important invention to shine brilliantly in future generations.

At this very moment was the time for him to keep that promise.

Locke tapped the Bronze Cauldron three times with his finger, and an extremely complex spell model appeared inside the Bronze Cauldron. This spell model was in the shape of a person, with three sections, and each section had a circular ring.

Then, on this complex spell model, a phantom person made of spirituality appeared.

At the same time, in Golden Crown Mountain's Peach Mountain, at the Gate of Hell, the wizards of Golden Crown Mountain were fighting the black wizards of the Twin Demon Realm. Both sides exchanged blow after blow, with countless spells flying in all directions. The battle was fierce, and numerous exquisite magical techniques were all displayed here one by one.

At the same time, the Twin Demon Realm's Second Circle wizard Erlen Fox looked toward the battle on the First Circle side, his expression peculiar.

Because he noticed that the wizard shoes worn by the Golden Crown Mountain wizards this time were all pure magical plant wizard shoes, yet their effectiveness was very impressive.

Almost equal to the excellent wizard shoes designed by the finest magical weavers from the top shoe shop alliances of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

The Big Snow Crown Bromeliad wizard shoes, because of the pixiu horn fractal binding equation, because of the Glandular Root Pouch locking energy structure, and because of the agave ketone body, were as pure magical plant wizard shoes with very excellent magical plant characteristics. On the battlefield, they greatly accelerated the movement speed of the Golden Crown Mountain wizards.

This had resulted in the Twin Demon Realm's First Circle black wizards, who should have had a speed advantage, finding themselves at a speed disadvantage.

This meant that even when a black wizard could defeat a Golden Crown Mountain First Circle wizard, they found the other party could use the acceleration function of the wizard shoes to forcibly escape.

A single pair of wizard shoes had a fairly significant impact on the battle's development.

Fortunately, at this moment, only the Golden Crown Mountain First Circle wizards had this kind of wizard shoes.

Furthermore, the Twin Demon Realm's black wizards tried to use the Twin Siphon Organ to steal those wizard shoes, only to find that the design of those wizard shoes was exceptionally ingenious, perfectly calibrated to the absolute limit of the Twin Demon Realm's black wizards' magical capabilities.

The Big Snow Crown Bromeliad wizard shoes were precisely calibrated so that First Circle black wizards could not successfully steal them. Doing so would require Second Circle black wizards.

But for Second Circle black wizards, they had absolutely no need to use the Twin Siphon Organ against Golden Crown Mountain's First Circle wizards.

So for this battle, the Golden Crown Mountain First Circle wizards had an excellent experience.

A First Circle energy studies wizard who had lost a fight was stepping on a pair of Big Snow Crown Bromeliads, leaving two ice rails on the ground behind him, then gliding across the surface like someone on ice skates. The leaves of the Big Snow Crown Bromeliads below his feet fluttered, continuously accelerating his movement speed.

At the same time, the Twin Demon Realm black wizard pursuing him could not keep up in speed and missed his opportunity.

On the black wizard side, some Second Circle black wizards were dispatched to deal with the situation on the First Circle battlefield. When several Second Circle black wizards saw this scene, they each looked displeased.

"What is going on? The Cloud Marsh Wetlands' wizard shoes have had another breakthrough? They are no longer making magical artifact wizard shoes but are now making magical plant wizard shoes?"

"The technical approach needs to iterate to keep up with the current most advanced products. But how can a First Circle-level wizard shoe appearing for the first time already have such impressive results?"

The Second Circle black wizard Erlen Fox said in a low voice, "This means that behind those wizard shoes there is at least one breeding genius who with a single flash of inspiration surpassed many wizards' round-the-clock breakthroughs."

"But this is not stable."

"It depends highly on one individual's talent. I recall that those white wizard shop alliances dislike this kind of unstable innovation approach."

Erlen Fox suddenly made his move, applying the Twin Siphon Organ to one of the Golden Crown Mountain energy wizards. In the next instant, one of the wizard shoes on the other's feet was forcibly stolen. The energy wizard could only step on the remaining shoe on his left foot and make a rapid retreat.

Erlen Fox looked at the Big Snow Crown Bromeliad wizard shoe that had appeared in his left hand. He saw a name on the Big Snow Crown Bromeliad wizard shoe, Augustus.

In the next instant, he forcibly crushed this wizard shoe. The Big Snow Crown Bromeliad immediately withered and its roots rotted. "So these were designed by him. Locke Augustine."

The other Second Circle black wizards immediately looked toward him. "Locke Augustine? I have not heard this name before."

"I think I may have heard this name. He should be a researcher at Golden Crown Mountain who has been gaining some notoriety recently, but only a First Circle wizard. Which is why none of you would have heard of him. Presumably even when you have heard the name, you would not pay it any attention."

Wizard Erlen Fox said, "I have met this breeding wizard in person."

A black wizard said with a smirk, "Oh? You have met him? And he was not robbed of anything by the famous Leopard Thief wizard Erlen Fox?"

Erlen Fox curved the corner of his mouth. "He is only a trivial First Circle wizard. Even if he has some talent, he is still a First Circle wizard. These Golden Crown Mountain geniuses all have one annoying habit, which is arrogance. This is the common failing of gifted individuals among those hypocritical white wizards."

"He was indeed robbed of something important by me."

Wizard Erlen Fox's left palm opened, and a large mouth appeared in it, which spat out a tongue, and from that tongue was expelled a moon.

It was precisely the magic that he had once stolen from Locke: Full Moon Growth!

The predecessor's predecessor of the Moon of Evolution!

Wizard Erlen Fox smiled. "I remember the effect of this Full Moon Growth. It can cause any magical plant illuminated by its light to undergo sublimation in an instant, rapidly growing to its peak. It is a magic that can alter the growth rate of magical plants. Once I use it, I can immediately render the First Circle magical plant wizard shoes underfoot of those Golden Crown Mountain white wizards useless."

"Ha, he himself never imagined that his own wizard shoes would have such a massive vulnerability because of his own magic. If in a single instant all the wizard shoes were rendered useless at once, I imagine his newly established Augustus wizard shoe brand would probably be completely ruined."

"He might even face enormous compensation claims."

Wizard Erlen Fox's mouth carried a malicious smile.

The other two Second Circle black wizards exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

At the same time, Erlen Fox said, "In that case, we can quickly resolve the certain advantage that Golden Crown Mountain has achieved at the First Circle level because of those wizard shoes."

But Full Moon Growth was only a foundational spell for a Grand Magic that Locke had barely managed to complete at the First Circle crystallization stage, and at this point it was still very crude.

So a Full Moon Growth like this was impossible to instantly blanket the entire battlefield and lock onto the First Circle magical plant wizard shoes underfoot of five hundred First Circle wizards all at once.

First Circle wizards were not the disc creature's vassal races that possessed First Circle strength innately through their bloodline. Every bit of their strength was obtained through research and study.

Perhaps in the eyes of Second Circle wizards, their power was weak, but they were absolutely not powerless, nor were they lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Therefore, to use a single Full Moon Growth to deal with them, there was only one method.

Leopard Thief wizard Erlen Fox raised his left hand and channeled the magical power from within his Grand Magic, the Twin Siphon Organ, into the Full Moon Growth in his hand.

The Grand Magic of every Twin Demon Realm black wizard was the Twin Siphon Organ.

A Grand Magic was a wizard's second soul and second magic source. Demon realm wizards had already given everything of themselves to the Twin Demon Realm, and naturally could not possibly have any remaining capacity to construct a second Grand Magic.

The Twin Siphon Organ was their Grand Magic.

It was simply that different black wizards applied the same Grand Magic in different directional ways.

At this moment, Leopard Thief wizard Erlen Fox channeled all the magical power stored within his Twin Siphon Organ into Full Moon Growth.

An enormous moon appeared on the battlefield in this way.

Quite a few Golden Crown Mountain wizards looked up in astonishment at that corner of the battlefield.

This was... life school botanical magic?

Used by a black wizard?

No, he must have stolen it.

At this moment, quite a few Golden Crown Mountain wizards felt a twinge of unease in their hearts.

Wizard Erlen Fox broke into a loud laugh. "Locke, you handed your own vulnerability to me yourself. So..."

His expression shifted slightly.

Wait, something was wrong.

At this moment, Erlen Fox felt an unsettling sensation in his heart, because he suddenly realized that Full Moon Growth had almost been sent to him by Locke on purpose.

And Locke had also sold his products in the demon realm war, so had he truly not anticipated this scene?

At this very moment, under the feet of many wizards on the battlefield, the wizard shoes suddenly flashed with a burst of spell radiance.

This was a spell model that Locke had arranged in advance within these wizard shoes after obtaining Golden Crown Mountain's permission.

At the same time, Wizard Erlen Fox's expression suddenly changed drastically, because in the instant he channeled the majority of his magic pressure into Full Moon Growth, a lunar eclipse suddenly occurred.

That Full Moon Growth seemed to slowly close like a closing eye, gradually shutting, like a lunar eclipse.

At the same time, the magical energy he had channeled into Full Moon Growth suddenly vanished.

"This is... a scam!" Wizard Erlen Fox roared in fury.

Because he perceived that in the instant he used Locke's Full Moon Growth, this Full Moon Growth was suddenly hijacked, and then it was not a lunar eclipse that occurred but the entire moon had vanished.

All the energy contained in this Full Moon Growth had been seized by Locke.

The Moon of Evolution had one characteristic, which was that wherever moonlight reached was a place where the moon could appear.

Full Moon Growth's moonlight and the Moon of Evolution's moonlight were both Locke's moonlight, so the instant he used Full Moon Growth was also the instant Locke could descend the Moon of Evolution to this location.

At the same time, using the preparations he had made in advance, Locke caused his Moon of Evolution to descend here and in reverse swallow the Full Moon Growth of the same origin and same type, completing one act of energy hijacking. Then he temporarily drained all the lunar radiance from the Moon of Evolution that had descended to this location.

So this location was left with a scene resembling a lunar eclipse.

This also meant that although Erlen Fox could originally have stolen the Moon of Evolution that Locke had sent here, because Locke had drained the energy of the Moon of Evolution on this side, Erlen Fox had no way to steal it.

After all, the entire capital of the moon had been transferred away by Locke.

In the instant between flashes of lightning, thoughts flickered through Erlen Fox's mind in rapid succession. He finally realized that he, a black wizard thief, had been successfully scammed by a white wizard researcher.

He immediately flushed with furious embarrassment. Damn this white wizard, I am going to court...

Wait, no.

He was a thief. How could he dare to sue a researcher?

At the same time, in the Silent Plane, Locke directly extracted all the energy of a black wizard with 15,000 magic pressure and used the magical drug Reverse Refinement Method , placing it into the Bronze Cauldron and refining it into spiritual energy.

Normal potion studies extracted energy and spirituality from various materials. The Reverse Refinement Method extracted materials from energy and spirituality.

At this moment, all this energy transformed into the spirituality of people, and the spirituality of people automatically constituted the pattern of a person. These energies and spirituality continuously circulated within this spirituality of people.

Two energy metabolic pathways formed.

Where the energy metabolic pathways passed, the energy underwent upgrading and transformation. Then the two energy metabolic pathways connected with each other, head connected to tail.

Above the two energy metabolic pathways, three energy wheels formed. Each of the three energy wheels restored a portion of energy spirituality, and then the three energy wheels each merged into one.

The energy underwent three reduction reactions that even Locke could not fully understand at this point.

Then a Zero Potion of completely blank spirituality appeared inside the Bronze Cauldron in this way, transforming into a cauldron of rippling blue-green liquid.

At this moment, whether the competitors within the competition venue or the spectators outside it, all were watching this scene with astonishment.

Because of the Silent Chalice competition's special settings, the spectators had no way of seeing every step of Locke's process of reverse refining magic pressure. The critical details of those spell models, along with the critical refining steps, were all blocked from view.

It was like watching a program where one could only see the person completing the work and its general framework, but could not see how it was accomplished as one would when watching a lesson or demonstration.

This provided reference and learning value while also protecting the competitor's privacy and research findings.

But at this moment, many people had realized that Locke had just used a refining technique that, while it was from potion studies, did not appear to be a common potion studies technique.

Many wizards were whispering to each other, discussing whether this was a special innovation in potion studies from Golden Crown Mountain. They had never heard of Golden Crown Mountain being so skilled in potion studies!

The seven sun ring judges exchanged thoughts with each other. "Have you ever seen this kind of refining method?"

"No, never. This appears to be a refining method that violates the universal principles of potion studies. It is just that I do not know what it can produce. If I could see the complete process, I might be able to discern something, but right now I can only see a few unimportant steps."

"Never mind. If we truly got to see something like this, Golden Crown Mountain would be charging us for patent licensing."

At this moment, the Silent Witch's eyes moved slightly, while the Green Steel City Hand of the Jungle Truth Wizard smiled, "Reverse refinement method. I recall that the Origin Lands in the central border region only recently began developing this potion studies approach. What is going on here? This young person has had contact with the Origin Lands? This discipline is still one of the Origin Lands' strategic development priorities. There is no reason they would authorize it to an ordinary researcher in the eastern border region's Cloud Marsh Wetlands."

The Silent Witch said nothing.

As a breeding wizard, she had little interest in the so-called emerging potion studies.

At this moment, the wizards in the spectator arena heard the Hand of the Jungle Truth Wizard's explanation, and the excitement level dropped somewhat.

After all, for a brief period, they had thought this was Golden Crown Mountain intending to present its innovation in potion studies through this competition, just as Bonifacius University had done.

But if this was already an original creation of the Origin Lands in the central border region wizard land, then it was different.

Locke was simply using a somewhat cutting-edge potion studies technique.

The seven sun ring wizard judges, upon hearing the Hand of the Jungle Truth Wizard speak this way, let out a breath of relief. After all, this special Reverse Refinement Method could almost serve as the starting point of a new third-level academic discipline.

If this had truly been Golden Crown Mountain's handiwork, the implications would have been enormous, signaling that Golden Crown Mountain was shifting its academic focus.

That would have a significant impact on the Cloud Marsh Wetlands' landscape and might even cause major movements in the stock market.

And they all had money invested in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands' stock market.

But since the Origin Lands already had research in this area, this matter was not as significant as they had imagined.

At this moment, on the four team side, the Storm Tower star ring wizard had been keeping a dark expression and staying silent throughout, ever since Wizard Smith had been trafficked away by the Twin Demon Realm's people.

And the moon ring witch from Bonifacius University looked toward Wizard Chad Schultz with a furrowed brow. This was because Bonifacius University had always been investing resources heavily in potion studies. If Golden Crown Mountain were truly making major breakthroughs in potion studies, the impact on Bonifacius would be quite significant.

Fortunately, this seemingly very special and apparently highly useful new potion studies refining method had apparently been popular in the central border region for some time.

However, even so, it still created a degree of pressure for Bonifacius University. Among the Cloud Marsh Wetlands' seven premier universities, Bonifacius had the best potion studies. But now this novel potion studies refining method had not been introduced by Bonifacius University's potion studies academy, while Golden Crown Mountain had wizards who already knew it.

This was pressure on Bonifacius University.

This moon ring witch asked Wizard Chad Schultz, "Is this Locke Augustine wizard your Golden Crown Mountain's trump card?"

Wizard Chad Schultz paused, then stood his ground and said with confidence, "Yes, he is our trump card."

Quinn Jol's Wizard Rush gave Wizard Chad a glance.

At the same time, in Golden Crown Mountain's spectator section, Wizard Fischer wore a peculiar expression. "The magical drug Reverse Refinement Method , I have read about it in Origins. It seems to be a very advanced potion studies refining method. In any case, the Origin Lands side has been talking up this potion studies method as though it is the future of the wizard world."

"Locke's refining method should be the Reverse Refinement Method . Only, where did he learn this cutting-edge new technique? And since he learned it, why did he not report it to the academy? Or perhaps the Academic Committee already knew?"

The Academic Committee's sun ring wizard coughed once. "About that..."

Wizard Fischer asked, "Furthermore, this seems to be different from the several reverse refinement potion formulas and refining techniques that the Origin Lands have published."

One of the Council of Elders's potion studies wizard instructors said quietly, "I feel this does not look like a form of learning and inheritance. It looks more like an independent discovery. If it truly is an independent discovery, it should be immediately reported to the academy. Although even independent discovery cannot claim much honor at this point, since the first honor only goes to whoever published first."

The academic rules of the wizard world in the modern magic era were that the first person to publicly publish effective results would receive the greatest recognition.

If someone discovered something first but did not publish it, the honor and resources would still go to whoever published first.

If someone made a later discovery but it was an independent discovery, they could receive a small share of the recognition and resources.

So the wizard world now was different from before. No one dared to conceal things any longer.

If you had something good, publish it first immediately to prevent someone else from getting there ahead of you. If someone published it before you, your research would have been done for nothing.

And now, the Reverse Refinement Method had been developed by the Origin Lands for a long time and had established an entire life school potion studies reverse refinement sub-branch as a third-level academic discipline. So even an independent discovery could not claim the meat or even the broth.

But it could at least let Golden Crown Mountain attach itself to this cutting-edge research topic.

The Academic Committee's sun ring wizard said quietly, "We should not guess about this ourselves. After Locke walks out of the competition venue, we can ask him directly."

In the Silent Plane, Locke had no idea that his use of the Reverse Refinement Method had sparked a series of disputes.

But the Reverse Refinement Method was only something taught to him by Great King Otto. What he was about to use next, the Lunar Cultivation Method, was a creation entirely his own.

Although the Lunar Cultivation Method was not like the Reverse Refinement Method , which was a completely revolutionary refining approach to potion studies, but rather only a niche cultivation method unique to an individual breeder.

It had no revolutionary capability over breeding studies, and could only serve as a distinctive cultivation method under the discipline of breeding studies.

But this was something that belonged entirely to him, the results obtained through his efforts as a wizard in this world, striving in both botanical studies and breeding studies to this day.

This was what could truly represent his level of magical skill!
