Growth, Qi Ge
"All the Soul Rune are still there, and their effects have become even stronger."
With a slight thought, Ronan caused a crack to quietly open in the center of the Dark Golden Sphere within his Consciousness Space, allowing a faint white light to seep out.
His naturally emanating Spiritual Force Field intensified, the invisible celestial body surrounding him began to rotate faster, and the sense of collapse of the surrounding void became more and more obvious.
The sudden, stagnant feeling of being unable to breathe, and the overwhelming sense of oppression, made Sigel, who was standing beside Ronan, involuntarily pull away from him, looking at him with an indescribably complex expression.
As a Dawn Wizard had already advanced to the fourth level, he couldn't understand why the young man in front of him, who had only crossed the threshold from the third level to the fourth level, could bring him a heavy sense of pressure as if he were facing Level Five Wizard.
Some of his perceptions are being shattered, and he needs time to process and reconstruct them.
Ronan continued his experiments.
As his thoughts shifted, the white light seeping from the slightly open, dark gold sphere suddenly turned blue.
Immediately afterward, the invisible celestial body surrounding Ronan was imbued with an intense icy aura. As his spiritual power extended outward, large swathes of frost and snowflakes condensed in the void wherever it passed.
Soon, the frost dissipated, transforming into [Rage] hurricane that swept through the area.
Then came the lightning, imbued with a tingling sensation and an explosive aura, which was "Spiritual Power Elementalization."
Ronan switched his mental energy between several elemental states, seemingly lost in thought.
This is arguably the most significant difference between Level Four Wizard and Third Level Wizard. At level three, he had suffered quite a bit in this area, but now that he had mastered it, he found that this ability was actually quite commonplace.
In combat at the same level, the direct offensive effect of Spiritual Power Elementalization is estimated to be very small, only useful for overwhelming Mist-level wizards.
Its greatest use is in assisting with spellcasting.
The elementalized spiritual power can resonate with and attract far more free energy particles than Third Level Wizard.
"After advancing to level four, spells below level four can basically be cast instantly."
Ronan thought to himself, and casually flicked a tiny snowflake from between his fingers.
The snowflakes fell straight down, gently landing on a pile of ruins below.
In an instant, countless icy fumes surged forth, the Ice River plunged, the ice rose, and a majestic Snow Country rapidly emerged from the ground, instantly freezing all the Ancient Echo Spirit within a certain area.
"By eliminating the tedious and lengthy preliminary steps, from now on, we can truly achieve the Snow Country in a snap of our fingers..."
Ronan's body descended downwards, and an invisible force field spread outwards, like a huge and heavy dark cloud crashing down.
In the wilderness, wandering Ancient Echo Spirit raised their heads and let out silent roars at him, the dense sound waves gathering into a tide that surged up along the void!
Within the Consciousness Space, the crack in the center of the eye-like Dark Golden Sphere widened again, and intense white light seeped out.
Ronan's body once again radiated a powerful light, like a sharp blade descending from the sky, easily cleaving through the layers of churning sonic waves below.
The Dark Blue Magic Robe billowed upwards in the wind, and mercury-like Itai flowed from beneath it, gathering behind Ronan.
"Buzz—"
At this moment, the aura emanating from Ronan suddenly became scorching hot, and his Spiritual Force Field further compressed the void, causing it to collapse, twist, and melt. It was as if an invisible, blazing Star Ring him.
Gathering from behind Itai extends outwards to both sides, condensing into individual, scorching golden feathers. Long, enormous Golden Eagle Wings grow from Ronan's back, with ruby-like patterns growing on the wings, bringing an incomparably scorching aura.
Ronan skimmed along the ground, his outstretched Golden Eagle Wings like two red-hot golden blades just pulled from a furnace, slicing through the ground. Wherever he passed, ruins and Ancient Echo Spirit were all severed and shattered! [Spirit Maya Golden Body]! When cast after reaching level four, this spell underwent a qualitative transformation.
Ronan paused slightly, then spread his eagle wings and slashed through the void with his golden blazing blade. A level four Ancient Echo Spirit that tried to approach him was cut in two without uttering a sound.
Originally a defensive spell, it now possesses terrifying offensive power capable of easily annihilating a level four opponent! Upon advancing to level four, all his Spiritual Power Crystal condensed into a single spiritual energy core, resulting in a tremendous boost to his power.
His soul and spiritual power underwent a complete transformation. The only regret was that he did not break through the [Ascetic Body Forging], which made him feel like he was "putting new wine in old bottles," having only gone halfway through his transformation and still feeling unsatisfied.
Ronan tried to avoid other groups of wizards and continued to venture deeper into the ruins and wilderness of the outer corridor.
He familiarized himself with the changes after reaching level four, readjusted his spell system, and honed his combat tactics.
While doing so, they also harvested the Ancient Echo Spirit along the way.
He hadn't forgotten what Sigel had said—this Silent Corridor was unique to it, with special Elemental Lifeform forms composed of Spell Echo, rune fragments, and energy particles, whose crystal cores could, to a certain extent, be used as Magic Crystal.
And he happened to be in dire need of Magic Crystal.
Once the strength of the Ancient Echo Spirit breaks through the fourth level, its body will turn black, and then it will continue to deepen in color as its strength increases and its years of existence grow.
Ordinary level four Ancient Echo Spirit posed no threat to Ronan at all; they were easy to attract, requiring only a loud enough sound.
Ronan continued his rampage, the joy of breakthroughs and the thrill of victory gradually immersing him in the battle. He was so engrossed in the fight that he didn't realize how far he had gone until a loud bang and the intense magical fluctuations that followed the sound "awakened" him from his reverie.
He stopped and looked up in the direction from which the commotion was coming.
Faintly, he heard the roar of surging energy tides and saw a black and red light colliding and intertwining.
The black light clearly had the upper hand, revealing a tall and slender wizard's figure.
It was a man wearing a tall black top hat.
"Call--"
Sigel landed beside him, his face still bearing a complex and lingering expression.
Having followed Ronan all this way, he had become somewhat numb from the shock and impact of Ronan's powerful methods of reaping the fourth-level Ancient Echo Spirit like harvesting wheat.
It wasn't until Ronan stopped that he slowly came to his senses.
"Level 5 Wizard".
Ronan narrowed his eyes, staring at the battle erupting in the distance, and muttered to himself.
He recognized the man in the top hat as a Level Five Wizard, and the one fighting him was a powerful level Ancient Echo Spirit.
Watching the two forces belonging to the fifth level constantly colliding, and the free-floating energy particles in the world being stirred up like tides, he couldn't help but think of the Elemental Magic Ring Fomingge back then, and the joy and excitement in his heart gradually faded.
"It's Qi Ge the Wizard Heart Hall."
Noticing Ronan's gaze, Sigel whispered, "The Wizard Heart Hall has several renowned top geniuses, Qi Ge is one of them. He has just advanced to level five and came to the Silent Corridor specifically to hone his skills using the ancient sound spirits."
"Qi Ge."
Ronan murmured the name, his eyes gleaming, and suddenly took a step forward.
"Don't go!"
Sigel's pupils contracted slightly when he saw his actions, and he spoke up urgently.
"I'm wearing the Spirit Lake's insignia, does he really dare to kill me?"
Ronan turned and looked at Sigel.
Sigel's expression was serious as he spoke in a deep voice, "The relationship between Spirit Lake and the Wizard Heart Hall is far more complicated than you imagine. Every wizard in the Wizard Heart Hall is a madman, especially..."
Before Sigel could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a calm voice.
"Don't worry, he can't kill me."
After saying that.
"Tear—"
A burst of crimson light erupted, and Ronan's two enormous Golden Eagle Wings suddenly unfurled, then he swiftly moved toward the distant battleground.
Ronan was genuinely curious.
How far is he from reaching level five?
