Chapter 206 - 128: Reborn Level 3 Apprentice

Chapter 206: Chapter 128: Reborn Level 3 Apprentice

The battle plan was quickly formulated. A Third Level Wizard in the team, who specialized in the Ice Element, raised his hand and cast a Zero-Degree Domain, crashing it overwhelmingly into the Elemental Barrier.

The Fire Element Layer violently fluctuated as it was struck by Ice Crystals. Someone immediately followed up with a Gravitational Collapse, crushing the Earth Element Layer. The balance of the Elemental Barrier was completely shattered, and the entire defensive formation disintegrated within a single breath.

Another Soul Wizard vanished from his spot, appearing above the Force Field Node in the southeast corner the next moment.

A blade condensed purely from Spiritual Power slashed down. The Force Field Node exploded into a cluster of blue and white flames, and the Shield shattered.

"Frontal breakthrough," Morton said, taking a step forward.

One of his domains instantly expanded. Centered on him, within a three-kilometer radius, all enemy Spiritual Power, Witchcraft, and Secret Treasures were completely suppressed.

The Spiritual Power of a Fourth Level Wizard was like a massive mountain pressing down on the Sea of Consciousness of every member of the Lost Society, leaving them without even the strength to lift a finger. The members of the Lost Society within the camp began to scatter and flee in terror.

However, two Third Level Wizards had already laid down a blockade. Any creature attempting to cross the boundary would be bounced back to their original spot by Space Folding.

The battle concluded within twenty breaths. The main base of the Lost Society was completely destroyed. Secret Treasures were confiscated, and members were arrested.

In a one-on-one confrontation, their leader had his Half-Plane shattered by Morton and died on the spot.

During this mission, one Four Elements Furnace, seventeen Dynasty Era Secret Treasures, and various forms of contraband were seized. Additionally, tens of thousands of abducted experimental subjects were rescued, many of whom belonged to races under the jurisdiction of the Pan-Wizard Alliance.

"Where did the Lost Society dig up such ancient legacies? To think they’re still playing around with these bloody experiments."

Looking at the bewildered and helpless experimental subjects, Morton shook his head in resignation. "Treat them, register them, and send them back to their original Planes."

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Endless Star Sea, within a forgotten ore mine.

The Black Wizard with the severed hand had fully healed by now. Placed before him was a bizarrely shaped Secret Treasure: palm-sized, resembling a distorted mirror, with a dark purple light flowing across its surface.

He glanced at the encrypted message on the Crystal Plate, his face instantly turning ashen. The main base was destroyed, the leader was dead, and the Society was gone.

After a long silence, he smashed the Crystal Plate onto the ground and stomped it to pieces.

The annihilation of the Society wasn’t entirely bad news for him; after all, since he had failed his mission and fled with a treasure, he would have been hunted down by the Society’s members anyway. But without the Lost Society, he had no shelter, no legacy of knowledge, and no resources for Cultivation.

He stood up from behind the ore, walked to the mine’s exit, and gazed at the hazy gray sky outside. He then lowered his head to look at his empty left sleeve.

"I won’t let you off. I will become a true Wizard!"

The Pan-Wizard Alliance was too powerful—so powerful that he couldn’t muster even the slightest thought of revenge against them. But towards that Apprentice, his hatred blazed to the heavens.

He didn’t just hate the Apprentice for causing all of this. He hated his calm gaze, his silent fighting style, and his words that stabbed right at his sore spots! He hated how, when the boy snatched the Round Disc from by his feet, he hadn’t even spared him a single glance.

He turned and walked back into the mine, squatting down to pick up the distorted mirror with his right hand and wipe away the dust on its surface.

Facing the mirror, he enunciated every single word, "I will find you. No matter which Plane you hide in, no matter how many levels you advance, I will find you and kill you!"

The mirror’s surface flickered, as if in response.

He tucked the mirror into his robes, stood up, and headed deeper into the mine. The footprints behind him were quickly buried by the dust.

A few breaths later, the Black Wizard scurried out of the mine in a complete panic. A thunderous roar trailed behind him, followed closely by a giant serpent with its massive jaws wide open.

"Damn it! How could there be this kind of monster in an abandoned mine?!"

Inside the observation room of the Spiritual Power project team.

Chen Shang had been lying here for several days. Though called an observation room, it was essentially a transparent glass house entirely embedded with monitoring Runes, capable of tracking the occupant’s Spiritual Power fluctuations, vital signs, and the state of their Sea of Consciousness in real-time.

The Spiritual Power project team had reimbursed him for a large number of Potions, allowing him to slowly compress his violently surged Spiritual Power and restore it to a crystallized state. However, the price was that he had to have his data tested every six Hourglasses.

On the first day, his Spiritual Power dropped from five hundred units to four hundred and eighty. The loose Spiritual Power solidified, increasing in density and shrinking in volume.

By the third day, it was compressed to four hundred and sixty. The fifth day, four hundred and thirty. The seventh day, four hundred and twenty. It had finally stabilized.

Yvette stood outside the observation room, holding a Crystal Plate. She looked at the data curves on it and nodded. "Your Crystal Core has mostly recovered. You can start recrystallizing."

Chen Shang sat up on the bed and rolled his neck. "Right here?"

"Right here." Yvette pointed to the surrounding Runes through the glass. "These Runes will record the entire process of your crystallization. I need the data."

Chen Shang didn’t say much else. He closed his eyes and focused on his Inner Vision Consciousness Sea.

The old Crystal Core was still there, its cracks having already healed. The pure Spiritual Power injected during the surgery had condensed into new crystals during the compression process, but it hadn’t yet completely merged with the old Crystal Core.

He needed to go through the process of Spiritual Power Crystallization all over again.

During his first crystallization, he had been extremely cautious, treating every step as if he were walking along the edge of a cliff.

Now, his total Spiritual Power was four or five times what it was back then, and his Sea of Consciousness had also expanded several times over. Since the framework of the Crystal Core was still intact, this time would be a walk in the park.

Spiritual Power surged out from the Crystal Core, spreading along the edges of the Sea of Consciousness.
