Background

Benjamin entered the Wizard World as an outsider and believed exposure would lead to experimentation, dissection, and exploitation. When compelled to attend an aptitude assessment, he used the Inner circulation Method to conceal his true condition and deliberately presented himself as a Level Six talent—conspicuous enough to be valued, but not enough to attract overwhelming scrutiny. 1 2

He enrolled at Noren Academy and chose Alchemy Studies to understand the Wizard World's materials and energies through the knowledge he carried from another world. Mentor Clark accepted him as an apprentice of Noren Workshop, approving of both his discipline choice and quick grasp of its tools. 6

Benjamin secretly cultivated alongside his wizard training. After forming his first Truth Rune and igniting Spirit Fire, he discovered that his cultivation technique could convert Elemental power into True Essence, linking the two systems that would define his later path. 11

Appearance

Benjamin can appear unremarkable when operating under a false identity, but his true presence becomes increasingly difficult to conceal as his cultivation advances. His forms and presentation vary greatly between disguises, wizard attire, and his Dharma Body.

• Uses semi-permanent disguise potions to reshape his face, height, bones, and muscles; he assumed the appearance of the adventurer Jack in this way. 116
• Usually wears practical wizard robes rather than conspicuous combat equipment. 467
• His Life-Bound Dharma Body is a dark-gold giant with two faces, a book in its left hand, and a rainbow mirror in its right. 620
• The Dharma Body's front face appears refined and Daoist, while its rear face is calm and scholarly; both bear a golden vertical mark between the brows. 620
• After becoming a True Form, he can manifest a normal human-sized body that is outwardly indistinguishable from flesh and blood. 625

Personality

Benjamin is cautious, calculating, and intensely observant. He habitually gathers intelligence before acting, regulates the information he reveals, and treats concealment as a survival necessity. His decision to falsify his aptitude result and delay wizard-meditation success reflects his preference for controlled visibility over immediate recognition. 2 8 11

His pursuit of knowledge is single-minded. He can spend years or decades in laboratories, neglecting his appearance and ordinary schedules while studying alchemy, laws, cultivation, time, biology, or anomalies. 370 547 728

Despite his ruthlessness toward threats and deceivers, Benjamin is not emotionally detached. He rewards genuine effort, grieves for fallen friends, and recognizes that his moral judgments must concern the individual rather than their status or origin. 120 227

Abilities & Skills

Inner circulation Method

Benjamin's foundational cultivation technique allows him to regulate his internal state with exceptional precision.

• Severs or limits his connection to the outside world to conceal spiritual-power fluctuations during testing. 2
• Lets him maintain the facade of a novice wizard despite far greater control over spiritual power. 8
• Converts absorbed Elemental power into True Essence. 11
• Continues functioning naturally after he creates a human-sized body from his True Form. 625

Body Tempering Method

Benjamin created a personal body-cultivation method by adapting Charles's Body Element Tempering Technique. Rather than relying on Spirit Energy, it uses elemental energy to temper flesh and awaken bodily potential. 154

• Rebuilds muscle and bone under elemental impacts, rapidly increasing strength, toughness, and vitality. 154
• Evolves through injury, combat, and environmental pressure; it adapted Benjamin's body while he fought a Time Afterimage. 434
• Grants extraordinary physical defense, eventually exceeding the average physical defense of a Level 6 Wizard. 458
• Its rapid growth can disrupt the balance of essence, qi, and spirit, causing reduced bodily control, impulsiveness, and emotional instability. 154 439
• Its adaptive evolution eventually imitates the knowledge-sorting effect of Entropy Brains, contributing to the evolution of Benjamin's soul. 624

Alchemy and Biological Research

Alchemy is Benjamin's principal wizard discipline and the basis of much of his research, concealment, artifact production, and biological engineering.

• Builds and expands laboratories through alchemical methods, including the spatially expanded basement laboratory beneath Dawn Mansion. 119
• Refines disguise potions and analyzes foreign materials, energies, and lifeforms. 116 189
• Develops cultivation-compatible medicinal baths and longevity medicine. 439 590
• Conducts advanced clone experiments using his own genetic material and soul fragments. 784
• Acquires biochemical knowledge to improve and study the Lava Giant race. 226

Internal Grotto-Heaven

Benjamin possesses an Internal Space that produces Spirit Energy without an external source.

• Confirmed through experimentation that it generates Spirit Energy “from nothing,” rather than drawing on vacuum energy or an outside source. 82
• Stores combat supplies, Magic Potions, Wizard Artifacts, and backup energy pools. 245
• Expanded at least tenfold during a cultivation anomaly, eventually replenishing Benjamin's Spiritual Power in approximately fifteen minutes. 625
• Is supported by the Incense Divinity Path's energy-transmission system, allowing its expansion to remain stable despite immense Spiritual Power consumption. 625

Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror

Benjamin's natal Dharma Treasure is an ancient bronze mirror based on concepts of light and able to exist between illusion and reality. 158

• Can undergo repeated refinements, each substantially increasing its quality and power. 158
• Achieved its First Refinement after Benjamin obtained the Light of Creation. 158
• Reached its Third Refinement before Benjamin prepared to enter the Void Refinement Realm. 619
• Resonates with the mirror held by his Life-Bound Dharma Body. 620
• Supports Light Transformation Escape, allowing Benjamin to become a streak of light to evade pursuit. 495

• Soul Search Wizard Artifact — Extracts and organizes a target's memories, including identity, habits, local knowledge, and mission information. 116

Divination, Analysis, and Information Processing

Benjamin applies spiritual perception, divination, and specialized tools to investigation and battlefield planning.

• Used divination to identify a surveillance blind spot in a royal estate and conceal his actions with an illusion. 130
• Uses the All-Purpose Eye to assess lifeforms, energy conversion, physical traits, and special abilities. 365
• Reviews memories from previous cycles to identify enemy tactics, traps, and triggers for time reversal. 408
• Developed a soul trait that automatically organizes newly acquired knowledge after extensive Entropy Brain use. 624
• Stabilizes and strengthens a Law Solidification Domain capable of empowering Wizard Artifacts. 766 767

Combat Transformations

Benjamin can combine cultivation, wizardry, and law-based techniques into specialized combat forms.

• God of Light Transformation — An energy-based body that enhances strength, speed, and durability. 523
• Imaginary Elements — Increase environmental variables and interfere with an opponent's Fantasy Law. 518
• Self-Aspect Freedom True Form — His natal Dharma Image, selected for compatibility and manifested as his Life-Bound Dharma Body. 619 620

Story Role / Major Arcs

Noren Academy Apprenticeship

Benjamin enters Noren Academy under a deliberately restrained Level Six talent assessment, joins Alchemy Studies, and begins integrating wizard meditation with his concealed cultivation system. 2 6 11

He earns attention through alchemical work and crisis response, including stopping a collapsing laboratory separator during a sealed accident. 26

Planar Missions and Golden port

Benjamin uses Rune Artifacts, analysis, and guerrilla tactics to disrupt the Indigenous Coalition and relieve pressure on besieged Noren Academy apprentices. 54

While operating in Golden port, he assumes the identity of Jack, builds a concealed laboratory beneath Dawn Mansion, collects Hundred Flower Dew, and later defends the villa from Orc and rebel attackers. 116 119 120 123

Territory and Body-Cultivation Research

Benjamin develops his Body Tempering Method, uses elemental environments and Magic Beasts to improve bodily control, and studies the Lava Giant race for biological breakthroughs. 154 226

Upon returning to his Golden Garden after fifty years, he finds that his former territory has become a human kingdom ruled by Otto, one of his old slaves. 218 219

False-World Investigation

After falling into a temporal-branch world, Benjamin finds himself in a fabricated ordinary life alongside false versions of familiar people. He identifies inconsistencies in his parents' memories and records, reconnects to his Internal Space, and concludes that many fallen wizards may be trapped under constructed identities. 342 347 348

He eventually determines that only the four entities posing as his parents are truly false, while the other inhabitants possess genuine souls obscured by implanted memories. 357 358

Sphere Will and Time Afterimage

Benjamin investigates the Sickle-Skull Race and the Sphere Will through memories from previous time cycles, discovering enemy tactics and potential traps. 408 431

The Sphere Will traps him in a temporal branch and creates a Time Afterimage of Benjamin to force a battle against his own abilities. Benjamin defeats it, causing his Body Tempering Method and combat understanding to evolve. 432 434

Anomaly Plane and Eric's Apprenticeship

Benjamin enters an Anomaly Plane under a new identity, acquires materials through Black Brokers, attends Psychic Association auctions, and studies the world's anomaly phenomena. 640 642 644

He recruits Eric as a prospective Psychic and later departs after assigning him a final task, revealing his true appearance before leaving the bookstore. 668 671

Higher Cultivation and Research

Benjamin refines the Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror, advances into Void Refinement, manifests the Self-Aspect Freedom True Form, and undergoes a major evolution of his Internal Grotto-Heaven. 619 620 624 625

He continues pursuing the Spirit Energy Law rather than accepting an easier path to Level 6, builds systems for large-scale research and production, and prepares academic work for exchange with other wizard factions. 733 766 767 804
