Particle Energy Interference, Wizard Yis's Observation

The Freshman Residence was lit up, as though its owner was still busy.

The sealed windows and doors did not hinder Number Two's observation of the residence. His Supernatural Bloodline, the "Shadow Dark Crow," possessed three special abilities: "Shadow Concealment," "Thermal Sense," and "Dark Breath."

"Shadow Concealment" could mask one's presence and allow one to walk within the shadows. Even a First-level Wizard Apprentice would find it difficult to detect him.

"Thermal Sense" allowed him to accurately identify targets even in the darkest environments. Combined with "Dark Breath," which granted him a concrete sensory perspective, he was a natural-born assassin.

With his back against one of the residence's walls, Number Two judged that this location was likely the Nurturing Chamber. The strongest heat reflected through his vision came from there.

Number Two instinctively drew a deep breath. His Bloodline Power called to him. After using "Dark Breath," he could capture every scent within range and, through Thermal Sense, form a spatial map in his mind.

Yet a huge amount of pungent odor rushed into his lungs and chest. The stench was like a cesspit that had fermented for decades, mixed with the bizarre fragrance of roses. His expression changed at once. He had inhaled too much, and his body instinctively reacted with discomfort.

The Nurturing Chamber seemed to contain nothing but that nauseating gas. Number Two's abundant experience and assassin's instincts made him instinctively flee his position. Yet his body seemed to have stopped obeying him. Even moving a finger was difficult, and his Particle Energy had fallen into disorder.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Powerful Particle Energy gathered within the Nurturing Chamber, followed by an ultra-high temperature that made Number Two's skin burn. Dazzling sparks swelled and burst from the doors and windows.

Even the Nurturing Chamber, constructed through Wizard Technology, could not withstand such terrifying pressure. Then came a roar followed by a howl that made the soul tremble.

Crack! That wall instantly turned to ash.

A Fire Elemental Tide formed from densely packed Particle Energy directly engulfed Number Two and spread to the Misty Wizard Array outside.

It was like an incomparably terrifying dragon wantonly spewing its breath.

Even the pitch-black night seemed to brighten for a moment.

Number Two's pupils reflected the wildly expanding blaze until it swallowed him whole.

Even in his final moment, his expression remained numb. The Bloodline Power within him surged at full force, and feather-shaped scales grew across his body.

The Misty Wizard Array suffered a tremendous impact, and even the residence's central hub developed a faint crack. Still, it endured the aftershock and concealed even the fluctuating traces of Particle Energy.

When all was calm again, an enormous scorched crater had formed near the Nurturing Chamber. The temperature remained high, and deeper down, crystalline matter solidified by the intense heat had formed.

A charred, pitch-black humanoid figure lay within it. Its robes turned to ash almost immediately. Its left arm and right calf had even broken off. The high temperature had thoroughly killed its flesh, Marrow, and cells, leaving charcoal-like fractures.

About fifteen minutes later, when the temperature had mostly dropped, a gray-robed figure opened the door to the main room and stepped out. His pupils shimmered with imperceptible flecks of blue light.

Wang Ya stood before the scorched crater. The lingering heat scorched his cheeks, yet he wore a faint smile.

He had indeed guessed correctly. Wizard Gandhi was connected to the series of incidents at Ancient Forest Mountain, and rather than acting personally, he had sent a Wizard Killer to deal with him.

Of course, he had not used all the measures he had prepared, since he had also considered the possibility of Wizard Gandhi acting in person.

When the Eye of Truth detected an intruder, he had consumed a Mid-level Wizardry Scroll to ensure the intruder would be dealt with completely.

Notice: Target has died! Possesses the Supernatural Bloodline "Shadow Dark Crow." Partial bloodline activity remains. Analysis indicates that it can produce a Bloodline Evolution effect on the Nurtured Creature "Harak."

Wang Ya's eyes immediately lit up. This was an unexpected delight.

Even among Low-tier Supernatural Beings, the Shadow Dark Crow's Supernatural Bloodline was among the best.

At times, it could even fetch the price of a mid-level Supernatural Bloodline.

It could also produce a Bloodline Evolution effect on Harak. Wang Ya was somewhat curious—could Harak develop its own Supernatural Bloodline from being a Mortal Bird, then breed and pass it down, creating an entire flock of Supernatural Lifeforms known as the Harak population?

In truth, some powerful Wizards had already achieved what Wang Ya envisioned.

They created personal Resource Areas and gained tremendous profits by nurturing and breeding Supernatural Lifeforms and special supernatural plants.

"Hmm!" Wang Ya's gaze shifted slightly. In the crater, there was actually a black dagger, half-covered in charred debris.

Target: Shadow Blade of Assassination

Category: Alchemical Wizard Artifact

Level: Low-level Wizard Artifact

Abilities: "Metal Activation," "Hyper-frequency Particleization," "Particle Energy Interference"

Evaluation: An exceptionally fine Low-level Wizard Artifact. It can carry the user's Particle Energy, possesses excellent destructive power against Energy Shields, and can also interfere with Particle Energy, weakening the effects of some low-level wizard arrays and Low-level Wizardry.

Note: Part of the Forbidden Core has been damaged. The "Particle Energy Interference" ability has failed.

Wang Ya blew the ash and charred debris from the blade. A dark gleam flashed across its surface, and its sharpness was dazzling.

Good stuff!

Wang Ya now understood how this strange Wizard Killer had retained Bloodline activity within the Crimson Dragon Breath instead of being completely destroyed.

He tapped the corpse's chest with the blade of the Shadow Blade of Assassination. In the next instant, feather-like scales turned into charcoal ash one after another.

Most of the torso around the chest had been thoroughly cooked and necrotic, but a small portion remained active.

Wang Ya did not waste any time. He retrieved tools from the Nurturing Chamber and extracted the Shadow Dark Crow bloodline from the corpse.

Within the small glass jar was roughly 3.2 centimeters of dark liquid. It still needed to be processed through Wizard methods to extract the true Shadow Dark Crow bloodline factors.

This amount was not enough, but Supernatural Bloodlines could be cultivated, so Wang Ya was not worried.

Of the week, only around three days had passed.

There were still four days left. He had killed a Wizard Killer, and the person behind it would definitely not sit idly by.

New trouble would likely come knocking. There was more than one Wizard Killer.

The good news was that the person behind it would not show himself. Wizard Gandhi also feared the rules and Wizard Yis, so he would not act against Wang Ya personally.

Wang Ya's eyes turned cold. Soldiers would block soldiers; water would be stopped by earth. At this point, he was going all out. Nothing could be worse than the situation already was.

He refused to believe that he could not hold out for just four days while staying in the Freshman Residence!

Wang Ya then began cleaning up the mess at the scene.

Yet all of this was watched by a pair of indifferent eyes. When those eyes saw Wang Ya resolve the Wizard Killer so neatly and efficiently, they revealed a trace of surprise.

Then, seemingly drawn by curiosity, their owner carefully observed Wang Ya. With a single glance, he saw the traces of Particle Energy and even the extent of Wang Ya's Wizardry cultivation. To the owner of those eyes, Wizards who cultivated different Wizardry systems always carried a unique scent about them.

But this observation was no trivial matter—it directly left the owner of those eyes stunned.

He saw that Wang Ya bore traces of three fire-element energy spells. Among the freshmen, he was likely the only one.

A figure wearing a Brown Wizard Robe seemed to walk out from empty space. He had purple hair, the face of a middle-aged man, and an expression habitually devoid of emotion.

It was Wizard Yis.

"An interesting little fellow. He has given me quite the surprise." A smile tugged at the corner of Wizard Yis's face, which was usually as stiff as a mask.

Then his gaze fell upon the scorched crater on the ground. His eyes narrowed like a fox's, while his lips curled into an astonishing arc—the very picture of someone about to burst into hearty laughter.
