Luna, Dean of the Teaching District

At that thought, Wayne did not rush to seek an answer.

Instead, he decided to first verify his guess.

Turning around, he picked up the Basic Meditation manual he had read many times and looked over the various basic witch arrays within it,

as well as the runes recorded and broken down beneath each witch array.

He then simply chose the Golden Nurturing Array that suited him best. After all, Wayne possessed top-tier Metal Element Affinity,

and top-tier spiritual talent as well. With the two combined,

the Golden Nurturing Array

would allow him to get started faster.

After making his choice and memorizing the first rune, Wayne closed his eyes and began meditating.

In less than fifteen minutes,

Wayne sensed his sea of consciousness. It was silver-white, radiating a silvery glow throughout,

illuminating the entire sea of consciousness.

At its center was a puddle the size of a basketball, filled with transparent droplets.

That should have been the spiritual power recorded in the Basic Meditation method,

its manifested form.

The only difference was that

having lived two lives,

his spiritual power was half again as powerful as that of others his age with top-tier talent. It now filled a puddle the size of a basketball.

As for inscribing witcher runes,

one used spiritual power as ink,

branding them within the sea of consciousness. Once the complete runes of a witch array had been inscribed, they could be combined within the sea of consciousness

to form a witch array,

thereby advancing to a beginner Lord Wizard Apprentice.

After taking a simple look,

Wayne put aside his curiosity and began meditating. As he meditated over and over again

on the Gold Rune,

the manifested liquid spiritual power within his sea of consciousness began to float upward drop by drop,

merging into

the Gold Rune he was meditating upon.

As time passed, the Gold Rune began to materialize. First, a blurry outline appeared, floating within the sea of consciousness.

As spiritual power continuously flowed into it,

the Gold Rune gradually became clearer. When it finally became completely distinct, Wayne slowly opened his eyes,

just about to say that this was too easy.

But in the next instant,

an overwhelming wave of exhaustion struck him. Wayne collapsed and passed out,

with only one thought before losing consciousness.

This isn't fun at all!!!

When Wayne woke again, it was already noon the next day.

Wayne set aside the tablet he had used to check the time,

then willed it,

and the slots of Infinite Slots appeared before his eyes. Not one,

but two.

This confirmed one-third of Wayne's guess. Infinite Slots gained one additional slot per level,

and going from mortal to extraordinary,

even if it was merely the first step, naturally counted as a level increase. After all, whether it was the first step or the hundredth,

both still fell within the scope of the first level.

"Then the next step."

After saying that,

Wayne closed his eyes and meditated again. This time, he instantly entered his sea of consciousness. The first thing he saw was the Gold Rune

floating within it,

as well as the restored liquid spiritual power.

However,

Wayne did not pay much attention to those. He turned his thoughts toward the slots of Infinite Slots,

which appeared within the sea of consciousness.

Of the two floating slots, one already contained a top-grade attribute-less magic crystal,

while the other remained empty.

But that was not the most important thing. The most important part was that when the slots of Infinite Slots successfully appeared,

Wayne's guess

had been confirmed by two-thirds. He remembered that when he had chosen it in his previous life,

the description of Infinite Slots had been:

Place any item inside, and it can become infinite.

The emphasis was on the word "any."

Since it meant any,

spiritual power should have worked as well. But now was not the time to test the final step.

Because Wayne still needed to clarify another matter: the path of the all-rounder Lord Wizard.

And the person who could answer him

was undoubtedly a top-tier Lord Wizard. To avoid exposing any problems, he naturally needed to remain cautious for now.

At that thought,

Wayne withdrew from his sea of consciousness. He first took a bath, then changed clothes and leisurely headed out.

Of course,

he only looked relaxed. In truth, he had no strength left at all. After all, he was still flesh and blood,

and he had not eaten for an entire day.

Could anyone expect him to run?

After leaving the Seventh Residential Area, he found a Didi Flying Car and first went to the Canteen District for a hearty meal,

before heading to the Teaching District Central Building.

At the foot of the Teaching District Central Building, crowds flowed back and forth.

Once inside, Wayne discovered that they were all new students.

As for why?

Naturally, it was because they were all around the same age, and the basic introduction had long stated that the Teaching District Central Building's

first through seventh floors

corresponded to Levels One through Seven Wizards. One went to the appropriate floor for one's level to see what needed to be learned.

But that had nothing to do with Wayne.

He walked straight to the elevator and pressed for the top floor, the twenty-sixth floor.

Why?

Naturally, he was going to see the dean of the Teaching District. Having become the dean of the Teaching District,

they might not necessarily have been the best at teaching others,

but they had definitely achieved something on the path of Lord Wizards. Otherwise, why would they be the dean of the Teaching District?

A moment later,

Wayne stepped out of the elevator and arrived at a door marked "Teaching District · Dean's Office." He knocked.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Wayne pushed open the door and entered. The first thing he saw was a young woman dressed in a white wizard robe.

She gave off an overall impression of kindness.

How should he put it?

She was glowing!

Of course, it was not because Wayne was overcome by lust. He meant it literally, as though he had seen a holy mother.

Of course,

that was only a figure of speech.

The young woman was likewise somewhat surprised when she saw Wayne.

Given her realm,

she could naturally tell at a glance that Wayne had just become a Lord Wizard,

and that he was a new student.

"New student, may I ask why, as a new student,

you have come here?"

Wayne did not answer immediately. Instead, he gave a bow.

"May I ask if you are the dean of the Teaching District?"

The woman smiled gently.

"Isn't it obvious?"

As she spoke, she paused.

"My name is Luna."

Wayne bowed again. "New student Wayne

greets Dean Luna."

Luna waved her hand. "You should still tell me why you came here."

At that,

Wayne nodded slightly

and asked his question.

"The reason I came here is because I want to know why an all-rounder Lord Wizard,

even after reaching the level of a Level Seven True Spirit Lord Wizard,

still does not have enough space in their sea of consciousness."

Upon hearing this,

Luna gave Wayne a surprised look.

"While ordinary new students are still completely lost, buzzing around like flies, you have already reached this point.

It seems

you have seriously studied the path of Lord Wizards."

She paused as she spoke.

"But your concern is unnecessary. If the academy has made this path available, that proves it can be walked.

The reason it has the title of

all-rounder, all-incapable is because when one first enters the realm of a Level Seven True Spirit Lord Wizard,

they are inferior to the other two paths.

The record you saw in the library was a joke from many years ago. Back then, while that genius Level Seven Lord Wizard was still all-incapable,

the geniuses he had suppressed took the chance to bully him once.

That was how this record came about. The reason the academy recorded this matter in the library was to teach students to make their own judgments.

In any case, all paths ultimately lead to the same destination.

Once an all-rounder Lord Wizard settles in and the area of their sea of consciousness continuously expands, they naturally become the most comprehensive path again.

Or put another way,

this is the path that practitioners of the other two paths will eventually take after becoming Level Seven True Spirit Wizards.

For example, Elemental Lord Wizards will inscribe functional witch arrays as the area of their sea of consciousness grows, and Functional Lord Wizards will do the same. The only difference is

that all-rounder Lord Wizards

simply start walking this path earlier than Lord Wizards of the other two paths."
