Chapter 329: Aptitude Enhancement Technology
Several decades slipped quietly by amid busy research and preparations for plane transformation.
Inside the laboratory, the lighting had been dimmed slightly. Only an enormous cylindrical reinforced-glass tank at the center emitted a faint red glow.
Benjamin stood before the tank, his brows faintly furrowed. His fingers unconsciously raked through his somewhat messy hair, and his eyes held the irritability unique to research that had fallen into a rut and hit a bottleneck.
The tank was filled with a crystalline, viscous liquid like melted rubies. Phantasmal strands of energy that seemed to possess life drifted and circled within it like leisurely swimming fish.
These energy phantoms radiated pure, active elemental fluctuations.
At the center of the liquid, a male Wizard Apprentice who looked somewhat gaunt floated silently with his eyes tightly shut.
His body was like a black hole, greedily absorbing the energy in the surrounding liquid and those drifting "fish."
"How is it going?" Accompanied by light footsteps and spatial ripples, Viola's figure emerged from the teleportation array in one corner of the laboratory.
She walked up to the tank in a few steps and studied the scene inside with great interest.
Benjamin did not turn around. His gaze swept across several precision instruments connected to the tank, where streams of complex data flickered continuously.
He nodded, his tone calm and even. "Very well. The aptitude enhancement process is proceeding smoothly. There has been no rejection reaction, and the energy absorption efficiency is in line with expectations. Once the enhancement is complete, his elemental affinity aptitude should directly increase by ten levels."
"Wow!" Viola lightly clapped her hands. Looking at the apprentice in the tank, her eyes sparkled with amazement and undisguised interest. "Junior, your technology is getting more and more terrifying! How many
