Chapter 310: Chapter 298: Breakthrough to Grand Wizard!
Three days after the war in the royal capital in the afternoon, airships loaded with soldiers and wizards slowly ascended, flying to various parts of the kingdom to carry out beheading missions.
Three of them were bound for the border between the Hadarata Kingdom and the Sekas Empire, monitoring the enemy’s movements; should they detect any signs of enemy troops amassing and crossing the border, they were to report back immediately!
Besides, Ryder, Ham, and others also boarded the airships, but they were headed for Yiyeta Harbor.
As the new lord of the kingdom’s southern territories, Ryder was at a loss regarding the development of his lands and the settlement of the poor. This trip to Yiyeta Harbor was meant to explore new opportunities for the freed serfs who had gained their liberty.
Grand Wizard Anthony and others were also among the travellers.
Although most wizards from his school were dispatched to assist in the beheading operation, core disciples like Fula were kept by Anthony’s side. His trip to Yiyeta Harbor was to meet the esteemed Lynn Maxwell in person, and incidentally, to attend this year’s academic conference!
...
Though war with the Empire loomed, the assembling of armies and preparation of war materials all took time; even the fastest movements by the church would not bring conflict to their doorstep tomorrow.
According to their estimates, at least half a month was needed for preparations, and it was highly likely that intelligence on firearms and cannons would be leaked, making it difficult to rely on these technological weapons to achieve an overwhelming advantage once more.
Fortunately, this time Lynn did not intend to shoulder the burden alone; without the support of the council, it would be difficult for them to win the war.
The Church’s power was immense, with the Empire’s territory several times larger than the kingdom’s. There were at least dozens of Cardinals like Anluoke, and high-ranking officials like the Pope and the Judgement Chief, all of whom had unknown levels of power.
However, before Anthony and others arrived, Lynn had another extremely important task to prepare for—to breakthrough and become a Grand Wizard!
This was a day he had been waiting for, arriving sooner than expected, thanks to Lynn’s uninterrupted practice of the “Advanced Material Decompilation Skill” through the mental connection with the smart brain during this time. This skill, central to a fourth-ring wizard, was also the best way to train his spiritual power.
The moment for his breakthrough had arrived!
“Dean, you are preparing for the breakthrough now?” Upon hearing the news, Shaping Science Professor Kevin was shocked and became even more nervous than Lynn himself.
They had no choice; Yiyeta School’s hope rested on Lynn, and it was imperative for them to care.

A Grand Wizard held immense significance for any wizard school, often representing the school’s rise and fall, as well as ensuring its strength and voice.
“But isn’t this too soon, should we wait a few more days?”
After the initial euphoria, Kevin began to hesitate; after all, a Grand Wizard’s breakthrough came with significant risks. Failure could result in a prolonged period of spiritual weakness, or at worst, the risk of a mental breakdown.
“Today is the day, no need for further preparations,” Lynn stated confidently.
He needed a stronger power now.
In the recent battle for the capital, he had relied on external forces to defeat the Cardinal. Had it been just his own strength, he might not have even qualified to stand before his enemy.
This was not a good sign. No matter how well one prepares, there are always chances of miscalculation; one’s own strength is the fundamental safeguard.
Lynn put aside the tasks of the headmaster and, along with Kevin and others, arrived at the Tower of Whistling, the most central area in Yiyeta Harbor!
Previously, Helram used it to set up the Soul Devouring Formation that enveloped the entire southern district of the city. Now, after renovations, the Tower of Whistling had become a place for storing important materials.
In the deepest level underground, where a large quantity of Crystal Stones were stored, Master Alchemist Dennis was intently drawing a massive Alchemy Array.
This was an Alchemy Array “Elemental Vision,” designed to assist official wizards in their breakthrough to become great wizards. It provided an environment abundantly filled with magic power and allowed the person within to briefly enter the elemental world, which only great wizards could see.
The creator of this Formation was the “Elemental Controller” Altoc. Before this, breaking through to become a great wizard required imbibing a powerful Magic Potion “Cynthia’s Moonlight,” which could increase the spiritual power limit of the drinker for one hour, enabling a third-circle wizard to surpass their own limits.
However, due to the strong side effects of this Magic Potion, there was an increased risk of mental breakdown if the breakthrough failed, which is why it was banned seventy years ago.
Dennis explained the matters of attention for breaking through to become a great wizard to Lynn with great solemnity. Overall, both the Alchemy Array and the Magic Potion were merely auxiliary means.
To become a great wizard, there wasn’t a shortcut. Otherwise, out of the thousands of official wizards in Wizard Land, there wouldn’t be only a mere thirty great wizards.
Lynn listened incredibly attentively. Having confidence was one thing, but that did not mean recklessness.
“Let’s begin!” Lynn took a deep breath, adjusted his state to perfection, and only then stepped into the center of the Alchemy Array.
Hum…
A faint, surging sound of magic power suddenly started, lighting up the Alchemy Patterns on the ground one by one, and soon the entire bottom floor of the Tower of Whistling was enveloped in a blue luminescence.
“Speaking of which, Mr. Lynn should only be about twenty this year, right?” Dennis suddenly inquired.
“That… I’m not sure, but two years ago, when Headmaster Lynn first arrived, he should have been under twenty.” Kevin paused, then spoke hesitantly.
“If he succeeds in breaking through this time, that would be yet another new record!” said Dennis with emotion. A great wizard under twenty-two years old, that couldn’t simply be described as a genius.
The previous record had always been held by August. However, the Star of Magic had been proven a fraud, so naturally, it didn’t count.
Back when he broke through to become a great wizard, he was already over forty years old, even though that was considered fast…
As the Alchemy Array operated, a vast amount of magic power was extracted from the Crystal Stones, continuously converging towards the center of the Formation without any sign of stopping.
Seeing this, Dennis’s brow couldn’t help but furrow.
“Master, is there a problem?” asked Kevin anxiously, the school wizards gathered around the Tower of Whistling also had tense expressions on their faces.
“To require so much magic power…” Dennis muttered to himself. Now, controlling the Formation wasn’t him, but Lynn at the center of the Array; but now the one hundred Demon Crystals prepared beforehand had been drained, and the Formation still showed no sign of stopping.
