"Haha, everything in the world is interconnected. Once you find the rules of change, everything is so simple."

Leo truly never imagined that the problem that had troubled him for over a century would be solved so simply today, and that the solution was so easy.

Now that we've found a way to observe the laws governing particle motion, what are we waiting for?

Full of fighting spirit, Leo quickly started the experiment.

Once... twice... one hundred times... five hundred times...

"Although I can see the trajectories of some particles, there are simply too many particles. My brain can only detect the trajectories of about a hundred particles at the moment, which is far from enough."

Although only 0.002 grams of nuclear material collided, the number of particles involved was beyond imagination.

A single uranium-235 atom contains hundreds of protons and neutrons, as well as a large number of electrons.

So how many atoms are in 0.002 grams of uranium-235...?

There are too many.

Once fission occurs, even if the efficiency is only 20%, it still involves an astronomical number of particles colliding at extremely high speeds.

If Leo wanted to record the trajectory of all particles within an extremely short timeframe, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Of course, what Leo wanted was simply to find the motion patterns of some particles in order to improve nuclear fission efficiency.

He has mastered the trajectory of all particles; he hasn't yet reached the point of daydreaming and dementia.

"Too many particles? Then reduce the number of particles."

The mass of the experimental material changed from the original 0.002 grams to the limit experimental mass of the large ring—0.0002 grams.

This reduces the number of particles by tenfold, resulting in a significant increase in Leo's observation efficiency by several tens of times.

Time slipped away quietly, the Fire Essence Flower were harvested again and again, and even Alice had been back at the academy for over ten years, returned, but Leo had not yet come out of the laboratory.

Alice visited Leo, but after hearing the constant rumbling sounds from inside the wizard's chamber, she stopped Benji's report and left.

A wizard hates being disturbed during experiments.

The Wizard Tower reminds all living beings dozens of times Heavenly Capital, with its deafening roar, just how insane the wizard within is!

"Yes, yes, that's it, that's it."

Leo excitedly held the densely packed calculation formulas in his hand. After countless experiments, he finally got what he wanted.

That is, he perfectly calculated the trajectories of some particles, and found the rules of particle motion.

This portion of the calculated particles accounts for only one millionth of the total number of particles, but having this one millionth of particles whose motion can be completely predicted means that Leo can manipulate these particles to perform precise, surgical-like bombardment on other nuclear materials.

Having mastered the first step of fission, Leo can only grasp a portion of the neutrons released after the first wave of uranium-235 fission, but this grasp is already more than enough for Leo current needs!

He doesn't aspire to master the laws governing the motion of all particles, much less to achieve 100% nuclear fission efficiency—that's beyond his current capabilities.

Fission is a chain reaction. As long as Leo knows the location of the first step and part of the second step of neutron bombardment, it means that he can control the minimum efficiency of fission!

"Now we need to find a perfect vessel to contain the energy released during nuclear fission."

What is this medium?

Leo's eyes unconsciously drifted to the shadow at his feet.

When he advanced to the Level One Body Refinement Wizard, his shadow split into ten. Three were transformed by Leo into Gravity Shadow, three into Ice Shadow, and two into Spatial Shackles Shadow.

Of the two shadows that have remained hidden, one is the Nuclear Shadow.

This shadow constantly absorbs nuclear materials, then merges with the body to accelerate cellular evolution.

Although the rate of improvement may not seem fast, since Leo advanced to the Level One Body Refinement Wizard, even though Leo has not focused on physical training, he can now unleash an attack power 20 times stronger.

An attack power 20 times stronger than the strength attribute should be the result of centuries of consistent training and stimulation.

But Leo never really trained, yet he easily met the standards of Body Refinement Wizard. This was the best achievement resulting from multiple passive stimulation evolution and Nuclear Shadow accelerated evolution!

After a normal Body Refinement Wizard advances to the next level, they need more training and years of life-or-death battles to stimulate their physical body to continue evolving.

Just like the Level Two Body Refinement Wizard Gru, before Leo modified his tonsils, he insisted on drinking poison to stimulate cell evolution, and his body was constantly stimulated by fifty times Gravity. Moreover, without Leo's knowledge, he was undergoing cruel training Heavenly Capital.

This is the daily life of Body Refinement Wizard!

As for Leo, he has completely deviated from the training methods of Body Refinement Wizard.

Because his body had already been stimulated by various magic arrays, he was essentially undergoing passive training every moment.

His passive training method may not be as intense as other Body Refinement Wizard' training, and he may not have experienced life-or-death battles, but Leo's method is more sustainable and saves more time.

Otherwise, where would Leo, a Body Refinement Wizard, find so much time to conduct experiments every day?

In particular, the Nuclear Shadow's acceleration of cell evolution allowed Leo to completely abandon training in Body Refinement Wizard, which was the biggest guarantee that allowed Leo to focus all his energy on the elements.

If we're looking for a suitable vessel to hold nuclear materials, then there's nothing better than Nuclear Shadow!

50 grams of nuclear material were scattered into the Nuclear Shadow and instantly swallowed up.

The Nuclear Shadow merges into the body, and one can clearly feel the body's evolutionary speed accelerating; it's like a bicycle instantly transforming into a motorcycle.

But if you want to experience more information, there's nothing left, just like the Nuclear Shadow only has so much power.

Leo expelled the Nuclear Shadow from his body, his physical body merging into other shadows, and his gaze returned to the Shadow World.

Leo wanted to see what the Nuclear Shadow was like in the Shadow World!

With a light step, a shadow identical to Leo appeared in the Shadow World.

An energy reaction that had never occurred in the Shadow World appeared at this moment.

An energy reaction occurred within this shadow!

When Leo first entered the Shadow World Shadow World, he discovered through experimentation that none of the shadows there showed any energy reaction, which was perfectly normal.

After all, a shadow is just a projection left by sunlight on an object; it has no inherent movement.

But when Leo summoned his ten shadows, there was an energy reaction within them!

The energy reaction is weak, but it definitely exists!

Leo had too many things to do and hadn't had time to investigate why his shadow had an energy response in the Shadow World.

Now that there's been a new breakthrough in nuclear fission experiments, Leo can study this issue along with it!

The Nuclear Shadow looks the same as Leo, but it lacks organs, blood vessels, and muscles inside its body.

Their bodies were just an empty, black space inside, like a black skin that had been inflated.

At this moment, in Leo's eyes, he could see a large amount of nuclear material piled up inside the Nuclear Shadow's body. This nuclear material seemed to have lost the influence of Gravity, drifting freely inside the shadow's body and indiscriminately emitting nuclear radiation.

These nuclear materials were accumulated by Leo over many years in the Nuclear Shadow, and it was because of these nuclear materials that Leo was able to accelerate cell evolution.

The Nuclear Shadow, like a diligent workaholic, keeps all radiation that is detrimental to the body's evolution within itself, strictly controlling the ability to release it.

The large amount of nuclear radiation accumulated in the body now makes the entire Nuclear Shadow look distorted, giving the illusion that it could be twisted into a ball at any moment.

"If we can control the nuclear material inside the Nuclear Shadow body to undergo collisional fission, then we've succeeded!"

"But how do we control the nuclear materials within the Nuclear Shadow?"

Ever since the mutated shadows appeared, Leo has been unable to figure them out, unable to determine what state they exist in.

Now that we are going to use the shadow as a carrier for nuclear fission, we naturally need to completely control the shadow.

"If I could merge my soul into the shadow, would that solve the problem?"

Once you open your mind, there are countless ways to do things. Leo was able to enter the Shadow World Shadow World by using one-tenth of his torn soul.

It was the reflection in his sea of consciousness that merged with his soul first, and then brought Leo into the Shadow World.

Since reflections are also a variant of the Shadow Talent, and can fuse with souls, shadows, being a variant of the Shadow Talent, can naturally also fuse with it.

So, since they belong to the same Shadow World, isn't it reasonable to manipulate shadows using one's own soul?

But when Leo looked at himself, the reflection in his sea of consciousness told him that after his soul merged into the Shadow World Shadow World became his guide into it, he had never seen his own soul.

Since one-tenth of his soul was torn apart and merged into the Shadow World, it seems that Leo's original soul is now one-tenth less.

In reality, Leo's soul was not missing at all; one-tenth of the soul in the Shadow World was still connected to Leo in another way.

Simply put, one-tenth of Leo's soul was moved from his body to the Shadow World, but he retained his original functions and continued to perform his original duties.

So, if we want to control the Nuclear Shadow with our soul, should we tear off a little more of our soul?

A strange thing happened. Just as Leo was considering whether to tear his soul apart a little more, a beam of light suddenly shot out from his body in the Shadow World.

Before Leo could react, the beam of light struck the shadow in front of him.

In that instant, Leo realized that he could control the shadow in front of him!

It's the kind of complete control, including the nuclear materials inside his body!

"Why is that?"

Leo felt no surprise, but rather shock.

The fact that his soul entered the shadow's body with just a thought was beyond Leo's comprehension. Such idealistic behavior, which disregarded principles and facts, was beyond his understanding.

The immediate problem seemed to have been solved smoothly, but more mysteries followed.

It may seem like a simple Shadow World, but it clearly has rules that are completely different from those of the Main World.
