Chapter 028
"It's finally over..."
Li Mu watched Dumbledore being consumed by the Fiendfyre, his magic staff continuously casting All Spells End.
The Fiendfyre was gradually quelled, and the Phoenix was put away.
Phoenix Fawkes, protected by the Phoenix's tail feather, let out a mournful cry and lunged towards Dumbledore's ashes, free from the threat of the Fiendfyre. However, halfway there, it was struck by an Imperius Curse and, with vacant eyes, flew into Li Mu's outstretched palm.
Flames appeared in his palm, and the fused Professional HuoZhong of the Mind Wizard emerged from his hand.
The Professional HuoZhong enveloped Phoenix Fawkes. In just a moment, Phoenix Fawkes was completely absorbed by the Professional HuoZhong. Its Wizard Bloodline, originally only LV5, rapidly grew to LV9. Due to the improvement in Wizard Bloodline, Li Mu's spirit and physique also saw considerable growth.
But the biggest changes were the significant increase in Magic Power capacity and the boost to several spells from the Phoenix bloodline.
Apparition, which was previously only LV6 at most, was now at least LV8.
He also felt that he could now use Apparition within Hogwarts. The restrictions on human wizards using Apparition here were no longer effective on him, as his current Apparition was becoming increasingly similar to the Apparition mastered by the Phoenix itself.
He also felt that Wizard Bloodline LV9 had reached a limit.
If it continued to advance, he might even turn into a Phoenix.
This was similar to the origin of Werewolves in this world. In the beginning, a group of humans fused with the bloodline of Magic Wolves through Wizard Potions. However, the Magic Wolf bloodline, due to its strong infectiousness, continuously corrupted the human genes within the human wizards.
Eventually, the wolf genes completely overpowered the human genes, leading to the birth of Werewolves in the Wizarding World.
Therefore, if the Phoenix bloodline continued to strengthen, he would also turn into a Phoenix.
For the wizards of this world, Wizard Bloodline LV10 was equivalent to abandoning their human identity and becoming a Magical Creature.
But for him, the carrier of the Wizard Bloodline was the Professional HuoZhong, not a true alteration of his genes. Therefore, even if his Wizard Bloodline reached LV10, for him, it would only be an additional Magical Creature transformation skill similar to an Animagus.
However, to take that final step, even fusing with an entire Phoenix was not enough.
It was conservatively estimated that at least a thousand HuoZhong Source Power would be needed to raise the Wizard Bloodline to LV10.
But even at Wizard Bloodline LV9, he was no longer inferior to Dumbledore in his prime youth. In fact, his Magic Power capacity had surpassed Dumbledore's. If he were to fight Dumbledore again now, he could easily gain an absolute advantage.
The reinforcement of the body by the Wizard Bloodline was not instantaneous; it would take at least a few days for this reinforcement to conclude.
Therefore, Li Mu did not rush to check his own attribute changes but focused his attention on the HuoZhong being born not far away.
After Dumbledore's death, a HuoZhong was born from his ashes.
As the ceiling of this magical world, his fall was fully worthy of Gaia rewarding a HuoZhong.
Li Mu stepped forward and picked up the HuoZhong, as well as the Elder Wand, its surface carbonized by the Fiendfyre, lying beside it.
[HuoZhong Name: Mind Wizard Inheritance HuoZhong (Inactive)] [Attribute: Generates Mind Wizard Professional HuoZhong] [Activation Condition 1: Completely conquer this world (Not met)] [Activation Condition 2: Master the ability to mass-produce Wizard Potions (Met)] [Activation Condition 3: 100,000 HuoZhong Source Power]
"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... a hundred thousand..."
Li Mu's eyes glazed over as he counted to the end.
He finally understood why Frostfire City only had the Frostfire Gunner profession.
The Frostfire Seed Destroyer itself didn't have enough HuoZhong Source Power to level up, let alone produce hundreds of thousands of cards to obtain new professions. Even if he exterminated every single Alien Race in this world, he'd be lucky to get two to three thousand HuoZhong Source Power at most.
It seemed the path ahead was long and arduous if he wanted to activate this inheritance HuoZhong in other worlds.
Putting away the inheritance HuoZhong, Li Mu brought the true form of the Elder Wand into the Phoenix.
Like the Resurrection Stone, the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows from this world, had also piqued the Sacrifice Seed's interest. Although the Elder Wand's surface was scorched, it shouldn't affect the Sacrifice Seed's absorption of the Mysterious White Aura within.
Inside the Sacrifice Chamber, Li Mu tossed the Elder Wand towards the Sacrifice Seed.
More Mysterious White Aura surged out than from the Resurrection Stone, and the HuoZhong Source Power emanating from the Sacrifice Seed was also greater.
The Elder Wand, which had been scorched on the surface, instantly transformed into a Spark Artifact.
Li Mu reached out and caught the Elder Wand that the Sacrifice Seed rejected. He then used his Origin HuoZhong to check the Elder Wand's attributes.
[Elder Wand: Spark Artifact] [Level: LV1] [Quality: Purple Heaven Grade] [Damage: 25] [Attributes: Magic Power cap increased by 1x, Spell Level increased by LV1, Spell casting difficulty reduced by 1x, Spell casting cost reduced by 1x] [Enhancement Requirement: 100 HuoZhong Source Power]
"The damage is a bit low?"
That was Li Mu's first thought upon seeing the attributes.
However, upon seeing the Magic Power cap increase by 1x and the Spell Level increase by LV1, he immediately understood why the Elder Wand could be classified as a Purple Heaven Grade Spark Artifact. These two attributes alone were enough to more than double the strength of a powerful wizard.
Seeing the final enhancement requirement, Li Mu did not hesitate to consume one hundred cards of HuoZhong Source Power.
The wand could directly amplify his strength, and what he needed most now was the strength to rule the entire magic world unopposed.
Although he was no longer inferior to a full-strength Dumbledore, even Dumbledore could not defeat the combined forces of all the wizards in the world, so he needed to enhance the Elder Wand to continue increasing his strength.
[Elder Wand: Spark Artifact]
[Level: LV2]
[Quality: Purple Heaven Grade]
[Damage: 30]
[Attributes: Magic Power limit increased by two times, Spell Level increased by LV2, Spell Casting Difficulty reduced by two times, Spell Casting Consumption reduced by two times,]
[Enhancement Requirement: 200 cards of HuoZhong Source Power]
"All attributes doubled except for damage."
Li Mu excitedly gripped the Elder Wand.
He was currently Transcendence Level LV2, capable of simultaneously carrying two Heaven Grade and two Earth Grade Acquired HuoZhong.
The Elder Wand occupied one Heaven Grade slot, and the Resurrection Ring and Elf Wizard Robe, both Earth Grade, were equivalent to one Heaven Grade.
Two Profound Grade Professional HuoZhong were equivalent to one Earth Grade, and the Frostfire Rose and Human Skin Mask, both Profound Grade, were equivalent to one Earth Grade.
Finally, adding the Spark Artifact Hogwarts, which occupied one Earth Grade slot, this already exceeded the limit of Acquired HuoZhong he could currently control. After careful consideration, Li Mu released the master-servant bond with the Frostfire Rose and Human Skin Mask and replaced the Kindling Wand, originally belonging to the Hook-nosed Wizard, with the Elder Wand.
His Wizard Bloodline was now LV9, and the killing power of the Frostfire Rose was completely beneath his notice.
The Human Skin Mask was the same; he no longer needed to hide his true appearance.
With the Elder Wand in hand, he could now sweep through the entire British Magic World.
