Hearing the clan leader utter the word surrender, the other three Sorcerer Apprentices of the Russell family all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were truly afraid.

Those two puppet girls were unbelievably strong!

Not to mention defeating them, they couldn’t even escape.

Not to mention the army waiting outside, ready to strike.

If they continued to resist, they would all have to pay with their lives.

The Russell family was merely cooperating with the Allied Forces, not sacrificing themselves. There was no need to risk their lives.

“A wise choice.” Red Widow smiled sweetly.

Facardo chuckled wryly, only feeling bitterness in his mouth.

Only now did he truly realize how foolish their previous actions had been.

They had recently thought that by combining their efforts, they could definitely stand toe-to-toe with Su Nan.

But reality had slapped them hard, making them understand what it meant to be overconfident.

Su Nan hadn’t even appeared, only sending two puppets, and they were almost completely wiped out.

Facardo wouldn’t be foolish enough to think that the Wizard who could craft such powerful puppets would be weaker than his creations.

The strength of a formal Wizard was truly beyond his imagination!

Thinking about this, Facardo couldn’t help feeling a little disheartened.

He had previously thought that his strength was already at the top of Starlight Continent. Even if it wasn’t as good as a formal Wizard, it wouldn’t be too far off.

But now he realized how arrogant and absurd his thoughts had been.

Not far away, seeing the battle end in less than ten minutes, with assassins dying and others surrendering, Bred and the others couldn’t help but look at each other.

To be honest, when they first saw Red Widow arrive with only two puppets, they didn’t say anything on the surface, but they were actually quite worried deep down.

But they didn’t expect these two puppets to be so powerful.

They completely crushed the attacking Sorcerer Apprentices like they were fragile objects!

It was simply astonishing!

“Lord Bred, my task is complete, I have to bring people back to report, I will be leaving here.”

Red Widow’s voice woke Bred up, the latter quickly bowed slightly, replying sincerely:

“Thank you for your assistance, please give my regards to Lord Su Nan.”

Red Widow smiled and nodded, turning around to leave with the puppets and the Russell family members.

Watching them leave, Bred finally withdrew his gaze, looking towards the battlefield.

“Send the reserve army as well, it’s time to end this war!”

Joden immediately drew his weapon and said: “I will lead the army, after seeing the battle just now, I’m quite eager to give it a try. It’s a good opportunity to move around.”

This time, Bred didn’t stop him, waving his hand and letting him go.

With the reserve army joining the battlefield, the Imperial army’s offensive became even more fierce, and the Allied Forces were showing signs of defeat.

At the back of the Allied Forces, Edith saw this and understood that Facardo and the others’ actions had probably failed.

He sighed deeply, his face instantly becoming ashen.

The Allied Forces were finished.

Thunder Element Plane, a certain elemental space.

Boom!

A dazzling flash of lightning tore through the void, smashing onto a steel magic puppet, and the latter’s massive body instantly melted away, becoming a blob of semi-liquid scrap metal.

However, more magic puppets fearlessly charged towards the lightning, their enchanted iron fists, imbued with [Weak Elemental Damage], continuously struck the elemental spirit.

An intense battle was unfolding in the wasteland.

Magic puppets were constantly turning into scrap metal and being destroyed, while elemental spirits were continuously wailing and dissipating into the air, leaving elemental crystal dust behind. As soon as the crystal dust formed, it was collected by an invisible force and floated towards the back of the battlefield, landing in Su Nan’s palm and disappearing.

Looking at the mountain of elemental crystal dust piled up in his spatial ring, Su Nan’s face showed a faint smile.

After discovering the method of synthesizing elemental crystal cores from elemental crystal dust and then absorbing divine energy from them, he had devoted most of his energy to hunting elemental spirits.

To improve hunting efficiency, Su Nan directly deployed his magic puppet legion, while also spreading his own energy fluctuations, attracting elemental spirits, and then having his puppet legion take care of them. All he had to do was focus on being the elemental spirit lure and the elemental crystal dust collector.

This significantly increased the efficiency of obtaining elemental crystal dust.

The price was the consumption of magic puppets.

But compared to hunting elemental giants with inscription gems, this cost was negligible.

Before long, the attracted elemental spirits were all wiped out by the magic puppets.

Su Nan estimated that nearly all the elemental spirits within a radius of ten kilometers had been cleared out, so he withdrew his magic puppets and opened a spatial channel to return to the Dragon Skull Tower.

He sat cross-legged beside the elemental pool, took out the elemental crystal dust to synthesize elemental crystal cores, and then absorbed them immediately.

After half a year of hunting and absorption, his spiritual condensation had already reached the limit of breaking through.

With the assimilation and fusion of more than ten standard units of divine energy, his spiritual power finally broke through the limit and underwent a qualitative change.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the gaseous spiritual power that had been slowly flowing around the talent crystal suddenly stalled, then solidified like it had encountered cold, turning into tiny water droplets that fell like rain.

Before long, the gas had disappeared completely, replaced by a river of water, flowing slowly around the talent crystal like the Milky Way.

The water flowed, crystal clear, slowly around the talent crystal, and Su Nan could almost hear the pleasant sound of rushing water.

“I did it!”

Su Nan opened his eyes, called up the panel, looked at the [Liquidized: 0.01%], and a genuine smile of joy appeared on his face.

He had finally broken through!

From his ascension to Wizard, it had only been twelve years.

In such a short period of time, to break through from First-Rank Gaseous to First-Rank Liquidized, except for True Spirit descendants, it was already considered quite impressive in any Wizard era.

From gas to liquid, the spiritual power seemed to have decreased in quantity, but its quality had skyrocketed, overall increasing by more than double compared to the gaseous stage.

Among First-Rank Wizards, regardless of various trump cards and hidden techniques, First-Rank Liquidized Wizards could completely crush First-Rank Gaseous Wizards.

For a while, Su Nan calmed down his inner joy. Seeing that there were still five standard units of divine energy in the elemental crystal dust, he absorbed them all in one go.

His spiritual condensation level increased to 0.2%.

“It takes about fifty standard units of divine energy to increase spiritual condensation by 1%.”

As expected, after breaking through to the Liquidized stage, it became significantly more difficult to increase spiritual condensation.

But soon, he rallied himself again.

With the method of synthesizing elemental crystal cores, he could reach First-Rank Crystalized in at most fifty to sixty years.

This speed was already far beyond most First-Rank Wizards.

Especially on the current Starlight Continent, it was unimaginable.

“After breaking through to First-Rank Crystalized, I need to construct a second talent crystal.”

“I need to decide on a talent crystal model to construct.”

Out of the talent crystal models he had obtained from the Starsea Tower, the best one was only Intermediate, and Su Nan naturally wouldn’t look at it.

His plan was still to synthesize a super talent crystal model similar to ‘Liquid Metal.’

It would be best to prepare the corresponding talent crystal model before breaking through to the Crystalized stage.

Researching talent crystal models, hunting elemental spirits, and building a Wizard Tower.

Su Nan suddenly realized that he had quite a lot of work on his hands.

And each task would require a lot of time and effort.

It was fortunate that he didn’t have to worry about the Star Alliance or the surface world at the moment, otherwise, he would have been busy to the point of neglect.

Stretching, Su Nan looked towards the elemental pool nearby.

After the expansion, the energy absorption speed and capacity of the elemental pool had significantly increased, roughly growing by 15%.

Although it was only a 15% increase, the cost of various gems and rare metals was as high as two million three hundred thousand gold coins.

But the effect was also very noticeable.

The increase in capacity goes without saying. In terms of energy use, Dragon Forest had more leeway.

The most important was the improvement in meditation efficiency and spiritual power recovery speed.

“Unfortunately, it hasn’t reached the size of a standard small elemental pool yet. Otherwise, the effect would be at least 50% better than before.”

Su Nan estimated that the Dragon Skull Tower’s elemental pool could still be expanded to improve its effect, but the cost-effectiveness was extremely low. It was better to spend the gold coins on building a Wizard Tower and strive to build a new elemental pool as soon as possible.

A standard small elemental pool could significantly improve his cultivation efficiency.

“For now, I can only use Fourth-Rank Soul Crystal potions, Fifth-Rank potions require at least First-Rank Crystalized spiritual power to withstand.”

“Inscription gems, Forbidden Zones, and Black Thunder can also be synthesized and upgraded.”

After breaking through to the Liquidized stage, Su Nan’s spiritual power had significantly increased, and his load-bearing capacity was also significantly higher, so he could naturally increase the number of inscription gems and wizard artifacts he synthesized.

Having decided what to do next, Su Nan began to think about the Wizard Tower again.

He had already had a lot of knowledge about building Wizard Towers in his mind. Over the years, he had gradually collected many books on this subject through various channels, along with the books he had obtained from the Starsea Tower. In terms of knowledge about building Wizard Towers, he was already well-prepared.

All that was left was to take action.

First, there was the level aspect.

In the division of Wizard civilization, Wizard Towers are classified according to their scale, from low to high, as Small, Medium, and Large.

The larger the scale of the Wizard Tower, the more expensive it is to build.

The most basic Small Wizard Tower costs hundreds of millions of gold coins.

As for Medium and Large Wizard Towers, they are no longer measured in gold coins.

Without two or more colonial planes providing resources, there is no hope of building Medium or Large Wizard Towers.

Su Nan was very self-aware.

Medium and Large Wizard Towers were definitely out of the question. Even if he dismantled the entire Starlight Continent, he wouldn’t be able to build a Medium or Large Wizard Tower.

His goal from the beginning was to build a Small Wizard Tower.

As for floating cities, which are even more advanced than Large Wizard Towers, they are a realm that only True Spirit Wizards can reach. He was still far from that level.

“Even a Small Wizard Tower is not so easy to build.”

A Wizard Tower can be roughly divided into three parts: energy supply, space planning, and combat devices.

First, the energy supply can be divided into three major parts: the elemental pool, the floating ring, and the central crystal energy transmission system.

The elemental pool is the most basic and core facility of a Wizard Tower, serving as the energy supply device for the entire Tower.

A complete elemental pool needs to be connected to multiple element planes at the same time, extracting elemental energy from them to create a complete cycle, providing a constant supply of energy for the Wizard Tower.

To use an analogy, the elemental pool is like a hydroelectric power station. As long as the elemental channel is still there, it will continuously generate energy.

A small elemental pool can meet the basic needs of a small Wizard Tower, including charging needs for magic puppets, operation of various combat devices, and providing lighting, experiments, conversion, and other routine applications.

Excess energy that is not used can be stored for use during war.

The larger the elemental pool, the more energy it can supply and store, and it can handle more intense battles.

Generally, a small elemental pool corresponds to a small Wizard Tower.

But if the building skills and financial resources are sufficient, a medium elemental pool, or even a large elemental pool, can be built.

However, if you do this, the cost will also soar.

It is worth noting that the cost of a small elemental pool is already as high as tens of millions of gold coins, and a medium elemental pool costs more than ten times that of a small elemental pool, and also requires the use of many rare materials.

This includes elemental source crystals, rare materials that only elemental giant elders drop.

While Su Nan was eager to build a medium elemental pool, he simply didn’t have the capacity at this stage.

“Let’s build a small elemental pool first. It’s enough for now, and I can upgrade it later if I need to.”

The second part of the energy supply, the floating ring, is, as the name suggests, the device that allows the entire Wizard Tower to take flight.

This device requires a large amount of mithril, which is also expensive.

The last part, the central crystal energy transmission system, is not as expensive as the elemental pool and floating ring, but it is still not cheap.

Its principle is mainly to graft the entire Wizard Tower onto the Crystal Scar, allowing the energy from the elemental pool to be transmitted to various places in the Wizard Tower. It is an upgraded version of the magic energy transmission pipeline that was laid in Base 1.

The central crystal energy transmission system can be said to be an indispensable part of the Wizard Tower.

Su Nan estimated that the energy supply alone would require at least 50 million gold coins in materials for the elemental pool, floating ring, and central crystal energy transmission system.

And many of these materials are very difficult to obtain even if you have money, even in the short term.

For example, mithril.

Even with the Star Alliance’s massive size, its annual mithril production is less than fifty kilograms.

Just building the floating ring alone requires two to three thousand kilograms of mithril.

Add in the consumption of other facilities, and this number is likely to soar to over five thousand kilograms!

Even if mithril is saved and not used at all, it will take at least a hundred years to accumulate enough.

This is undoubtedly a heart-stopping number!

“Anyway, it will take one or two hundred years to build the entire Wizard Tower, so I can slowly accumulate it during this time.”

Su Nan thought for a while and decided to put off building the floating ring for now, and put it on the agenda when enough mithril has been accumulated.
