Who would pass up a promotion opportunity at this time?
But now that he knows the dangers of separate promotions, Leo wouldn't dare to pursue them separately even if you killed him.
Leo suddenly remembered why the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard only allowed him to experience the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array for ten days, and that was during the most unstable period of elemental energy in the World War.
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard was determined that he would be unable to complete the construction of external magic within ten days, thus preventing his elemental side from advancing first.
The ten days allowed Leo to see the direction of the third level without being able to advance, demonstrating perfect timing.
Giving him this notebook now is entirely to remind him of the path he should take in the future, so he doesn't go astray.
"I owe this person a huge favor," Leo muttered to himself with a wry smile.
In what seemed like a fair trade, he exchanged astronomical battle merits and Second-Class Wizard Medal with the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard for a chance to experience the spiritual power of Level Three Great Wizard, and also obtained a wizard's notebook.
In reality, the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard used this transaction to remind him of the biggest problem on the path to becoming Elemental Body Refinement Wizard.
Such correction can be said to have saved Leo's path as a wizard, far surpassing his battle achievements and Second-Class Wizard Medal.
Moreover, it was obvious that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard had seen through his problem first, which led to this transaction.
What obvious favors! It's practically like giving it to him for free.
Leo suddenly remembered the information he had requested from the command center when he returned to the Wizard World from the Rota World.
Because there were many things about the Rota World that he didn't understand, he wanted to find the answers to these questions in the post-war summary.
For example, why do Cyborg always have a part of their body that is flesh and blood, and why does this part of flesh and blood happen to be the Cyborg's fatal weakness?
Furthermore, why did the Cyborg, when attacked by the wizard army, not immediately retaliate, but instead try to kill the Diro People?
The Cyborg were originally from the Diro People, so why did they kill their own kind first?
Leo's own guesses about these problems were all related to that cosmic-level metallic object, but he didn't have enough materials to conduct experiments to verify them, so he wanted to get the answers from the command center.
And those two hidden quests, they both showed as completed in the end.
But the completion time Leo saw was during their battle with the metal giant. At that time, all the wizards were on the battlefield. How could anyone have secretly completed the mission?
This expedition to the Rota World left Leo with many questions.
However, the command center could only tell him that the two hidden missions were completed by the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard himself.
Their decision not to leave after the expedition ended was also an order from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard.
As for the questions about those Cyborg, they had no answers either. The final summary was completed by the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard himself, and they had no authority to see it.
However, their guesses, like Leo's, were all closely related to that cosmic-level metallic object. As for the outcome, no one knew.
"This Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard is no ordinary Stigmata Wizard."
Leo now thought about it carefully and realized that their expedition to this Rota World also had significant problems. It seemed to be a medium-sized world, but it contained cosmic-level treasures.
Cosmic-level treasures are already the most top-tier treasures; how could they possibly come across them so easily? It's too much of a coincidence that they could encounter one while simply conquering a world.
In this world, coincidences often represent preordained events.
Running into an old friend on the street could be considered a coincidence, but encountering an alien is definitely not a coincidence.
The probability of Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard encountering a cosmic treasure during a random expedition to any world is even smaller than the probability of a human encountering extraterrestrials.
Leo tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the seat. His level was too low and his knowledge too limited to discern the truth hidden behind the facts.
In short, this expedition to the Rota World brought him too many mysteries.
A cosmic-level treasure, handled so easily by a level-five wizard like the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard without the Supreme Lord —that just doesn't seem right.
Consider that the World Tree is also a cosmic-level life form, belonging to the same level as that metallic object. Just one branch was enough to overwhelm four Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard. In the end, it was the Sword of Winter, the weapon of the Supreme Lord dealt with it.
What we've dealt with is only a branch of the World Tree, not the main body.
Upon arriving in the Rota World, encountering the true form of a cosmic-level treasure, the situation became surprisingly easier.
Leo's mind was a bit of a mess; no matter how he looked at it, this expedition seemed strange and inexplicably eerie.
However, he couldn't figure it out right now, so he could only bury it deep in his memory and bring it up again when he was strong enough.
Time passed quickly as Benji and his group harvested the first batch of Fire Essence Flower, and Leo had already finished reading all the books in the library of the Undying Body Academy.
I wouldn't dare say how much I've learned, but I can say that I've basically mastered everything.
"These are the next ones,"
Leo reached into the Shadow Space and grabbed several books, which appeared in his hand.
Special Relativity
General Relativity
"Quantum Mechanics"
Superstring Theory
These books were from over two hundred years ago; he had Charlotte find them for him.
He asked Charlotte for a hydrogen bomb, but Charlotte couldn't, saying that hydrogen bombs were all under control.
As a second choice, Leo requested a portion of the most advanced theoretical knowledge on Earth.
These books represent the most advanced achievements of Earth's past civilization. If Leo had just come into contact with the wizard civilization, he would definitely have thought these books were worthless.
After all, the wizarding civilization had already achieved such terrifying accomplishments, and their knowledge system far surpassed that of Earth.
Earth's level of knowledge compared to the wizarding civilization is like a monkey compared to the most advanced scientists.
Who would forgo learning top-tier science to instead learn from monkeys?
Even if Leo completes his wizarding path using atomic energy, he still believes it's a low-probability event of luck for humanity on Earth. He thinks that if wizarding civilizations were given even the slightest hint, they would completely master nuclear energy, to a degree far exceeding that of humanity on Earth.
Therefore, Leo used to be very worried that other wizards would follow the same wizarding path as him and complete the Elemental Body Tempering advancement.
Then his status would no longer be that of Legendary Wizard revered by all, nor Elemental Body Refinement Wizard envied by all.
Who could blame them when his atomic theory wasn't actually that profound? These wizards could learn it just by taking a few glances at it.
But after experiencing so much, his knowledge is also accumulating at an exponential rate, and his past shortsightedness is being gradually cleared up and changed.
Every civilization has its merits, even if it seems like a toddler or a monkey compared to the most advanced civilization.
Indeed, most cultures on Earth cannot compare to the wizarding civilization, and some are even worthless.
However, it still has its own unique insights into some cutting-edge sciences.
Just like the theory of relativity we are reading now, Einstein back then didn't know any magic of spatial systems; he could only rely on his own brain to understand it and then gradually prove his conjectures.
The theory of relativity explains the relationship between space and time and elucidates the most fundamental laws governing the universe.
His thoughts are undoubtedly among the best of humanity on Earth. Leo sometimes thinks that if he hadn't been born on Earth, but in the Wizard World, he would definitely have become an outstanding space wizard.
His level of thinking is something that Leo has not yet reached.
When Leo saw the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard shatter the ten-thousand-meter-tall metal giant with spatial magic, he honestly developed a strong interest in spatial magic.
He believed that not only himself, but every wizard who witnessed that scene was captivated by the power of space magic.
Powerful, mysterious, high-end, rare—these precious words seem tailor-made for the space system.
Leo didn't aspire to reach the level of Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard; he just wanted his spatial magic abilities to be on par with the other magic types.
Wizards fear having weaknesses the most; once a weakness is discovered, even the most powerful wizard can be defeated.
Leo's previous plan was to study the space system thoroughly whenever he had time, because it was a system that required a lot of time.
I was too busy before and didn't have any extra time.
Now we have the time.
The level three elemental side has reached the threshold; it's just one step away from crossing it.
The deficiency lies in the body refinement aspect; one needs to unlock the Bloodline Power.
Breakthroughs in the body refinement side are not as systematic as those in the elemental side, and cannot be controlled by oneself.
Advancement in the body refinement side requires a certain opportunity; one must constantly break through one's own limits and tap into the deeper power of one's Bloodline.
This is why Body Refinement Wizard spend their days either fighting or honing their skills, pushing themselves to the limit, facing life or death—this is the fastest way for them to unlock their Bloodline Power.
In the past, Leo would have definitely advanced to level three on the elemental side first, but with the reminder from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, he had to suppress the elemental side and wait for the opportunity to unlock the Bloodline Power to appear.
I wonder when this opportunity will come.
Without the right opportunity, Leo wouldn't be able to advance to level three, and now Leo has plenty of time to study.
This period has provided an opportunity to study space systems, which I haven't had time to research before.
In fact, Leo's Shadow Talent ability is somewhat related to spatial abilities.
Shadow Walking essentially utilizes spatial abilities, using shadows as footholds to traverse space.
Unfortunately, Leo relied entirely on his innate talent and instincts, without understanding the fundamental principles behind his abilities.
So far, his innate abilities, the Shadow World, and Yaoyao's existence are the biggest problems plaguing him.
Other problems are at least somewhat understandable, but in these areas, safety is a mystery, a problem that has plagued him since his apprenticeship.
