Starlight Calendar 1330, Summer Dragon Month (June).
After returning from the Thunder Element Plane once again, Su Nan sat cross-legged by the Element Pool, synthesizing elemental crystals and then absorbing the divine energy within them.
The Element Pool in the Starlight Wizard Tower, after being synthesized four times, had a +4 enhancement effect that was no less than a medium-sized Element Pool.
The energy absorption rate and capacity, spiritual power recovery speed, and meditation efficiency increase were all at least doubled compared to before.
Thanks to this, Su Nan’s spiritual refinement speed was much faster than he had expected.
【Liquification: 99.99%】
As the divine energy in the elemental crystal was gradually assimilated and merged, at one point, the spiritual power refinement level on the panel flickered and turned into 100%.
At the same moment, deep in Su Nan’s sea of consciousness, the liquid spiritual power that had been slowly flowing around the talent crystal suddenly paused, then quickly solidified into small crystalline particles, like water turning into ice when it encounters cold.
In a short time, the ‘water flow’ around the talent crystal disappeared completely, replaced by densely packed crystal bodies like a starry belt.
These hexagonal crystals were crystal clear, like the finest gemstones, slowly rotating around the talent crystal, as beautiful and magnificent as the Milky Way.
“Success!”
Su Nan opened his eyes, his eyes filled with immense joy.
It took him almost fifty years to finally break through from Level 1 Liquification to Level 1 Crystallization.
All he needed to do now was construct the second talent crystal model, and he could be promoted to Level 2 Wizard.
Su Nan reached out and gently tapped the void in front of him, and countless thin, thread-like beams of light emerged, quickly intertwining to form a mysterious and complex model.
This was the second talent crystal model that Su Nan had been researching for years.
Of course, it was only a lower-level talent crystal model that had not yet been synthesized.
Its effect was somewhat similar to 【Forbidden Zone】, simultaneously establishing a super-dense, invisible energy force field around the body, capable of negating all damage that entered the energy force field, including physical attacks, energy attacks, and even intangible and immaterial soul attacks.
In addition, anyone entering this force field would be subjected to heavy pressure.
Unlike 【Forbidden Zone】, Su Nan could change the ‘pressure density’ of the force field, temporarily increasing the ‘pressure’ in a certain area of the force field, thereby placing greater restrictions on enemies entering the force field.
If the ‘pressure’ was high enough, it could even crush enemies into meat paste.
Therefore, this ultimate defensive talent ability could also be used for attack in some cases.
Furthermore, the range of the force field could be freely expanded and contracted, but the defense and pressure density would also decrease or increase accordingly. The specifics would have to wait until Su Nan actually mastered the talent ability and conducted practical tests.
Su Nan named this talent crystal model 【Absolute Forbidden Zone】.
“It took thirty-two lower-level talent crystal models to synthesize the superior ‘Liquid Metal’, so ‘Absolute Forbidden Zone’ should be about the same.”
The last time he constructed the Liquid Metal talent crystal model, the average construction time for a lower-level talent crystal model was thirteen days.
However, Su Nan’s spiritual power now far exceeded his previous level, and he also had superior construction potions, so he estimated that the average construction time this time should be shortened to within ten days.
If things went smoothly, he could synthesize the superior ‘Absolute Forbidden Zone’ model within a year.
The truly time-consuming part was the final step of filling in spiritual power.
After all, talent crystals would become stronger as the wizard’s spiritual power refinement level increased.
The current ‘Liquid Metal’ talent crystal was already far stronger than when it was first constructed.
In other words, to construct a second talent crystal comparable in strength to the current ‘Liquid Metal’, more spiritual power had to be filled in.
When filling ‘Liquid Metal’ before, he had used both the Spiritual Pearl and the Golden Apple, and it still took him over two years, almost three years, to fill the talent crystal completely.
Now, besides the Element Pool BUFF that could accelerate spiritual power recovery, he had nothing, and the difficulty of filling it was even higher, so the time spent would definitely far exceed before.
A few decades would probably be considered fast, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it took one or two hundred years.
“This time, the spiritual power filling phase is the real grind.”
Su Nan sighed, then took a bottle of construction potion and drank it, starting to construct the talent crystal model.
Soon, eleven months passed, and Su Nan successfully constructed thirty-two lower-level talent crystal models and synthesized the second super talent crystal model.
He then started to fill in spiritual power without stopping.
Sitting cross-legged by the Element Pool, Su Nan closed his eyes, and the crystalline spiritual power in his sea of consciousness constantly emitted wisps of spiritual power, entering the new talent crystal model, slowly filling the space inside.
This training lasted for a month.
【Talent Crystal Model Filling Progress: 0.06%】
“Only 0.06% progress in a month.”
“At this rate, it will take about one hundred and forty years to fill it completely.”
In fact, Su Nan also knew that this speed was not slow.
It had only been over sixty years since he had been promoted to a wizard, and even if another one hundred and forty years passed, it would only be about two hundred years.
To be promoted from Level 1 Wizard to Level 2 Wizard in two hundred years, this speed could be considered exceptionally dazzling even in the golden age of wizards a thousand years ago. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Except for those true spirit descendants who were more like cheating than cheating, almost no one could compare to him.
But if possible, Su Nan wanted to be even faster.
“If only there were something that could speed up spiritual power recovery.”
Su Nan’s eyes flickered, and he got up and left the top floor of the wizard tower.
In the bright and spacious study, Lize was diligently flipping through documents, her focused and serious face was exceptionally attractive.
The quartz clock on the wall silently moved its hour and minute hands, only making a clear ringing sound when it reached the hour.
After a long time, Lize put down the documents and rubbed her temples.
The Specter did not have the concept of fatigue, this was just a habit she had developed over the years.
She had been a member of the Star Alliance for more than thirty years, and she was now familiar with all the affairs of the Star Alliance, big and small, and she was able to handle them with ease.
To be honest, when she had agreed to be Su Nan’s assistant and act as the head of the Star Alliance, Lize had not really taken the Star Alliance to heart.
After all, with the current state of Starlight Continent, how large could a wizard force develop?
At most, it would be a super-large human country.
But after actually coming into contact with the various affairs of the Star Alliance, she realized that she had greatly underestimated it.
The Star Alliance not only controlled the surface world, but had also incorporated the underground world.
Besides, they also had a full-fledged army of magic puppets.
They might not be as good in terms of high-end puppets, but the scale of their mid-to-low-end puppets was already comparable to that of a third-rate wizard force.
What surprised her even more was that the Star Alliance actually had its own Wizard Academy!
Although it was only an academy that had been established for a few decades, and even the tutors were only third-rank wizard apprentices, it was already rare and valuable!
After all, this was in a plane with depleted elemental energy.
Lize couldn’t imagine how Su Nan managed to develop the Star Alliance to such a level under such adverse conditions?
This made her even more curious about Su Nan.
No matter what, with a Wizard Academy, the Star Alliance would have the foundation to become a real wizard force.
Lize changed her attitude and began to truly devote herself to managing the Star Alliance’s affairs.
Over the years, under her management, the Star Alliance’s development could not be said to be rapid, but it was flourishing.
In terms of people’s livelihood, Mana Machines had basically been popularized in the most prosperous cities on Starlight Continent, entering major production industries, and their significant improvement in production capacity was sought after by many nobles and merchants.
In this regard, the popularity of Mana Machines faced almost no resistance.
The true limitation on the popularization of Mana Machines was the output of Secondary Magic Stones.
“Mana Machines are the core of secondary mana technology, and secondary mana technology can’t truly develop rapidly before the output of Secondary Magic Stones increases.”
Lize reached out and stroked the white paper on the table in front of her, and a line of text appeared out of thin air.
《How to Increase the Output of Secondary Magic Stones?》
“The quickest way is to increase the reward for purchasing Secondary Magic Stones.”
Lize’s eyes flickered, but then she shook her head.
With the huge population of Starlight Continent as its base, Starlight Academy could recruit as many as hundreds of students every year.
Now the total number of students in Starlight Academy had reached over five thousand four hundred.
Among them, at least forty to fifty percent of the students were capable of producing Secondary Magic Stones.
If they raised the contribution value for purchasing Secondary Magic Stones, attracting all these students to produce Secondary Magic Stones, it would be enough to double the output of Secondary Magic Stones in the short term.
But Lize knew this was impossible.
The Star Alliance currently obtained many low-grade materials from Starlight Academy, and if they drastically raised the purchase price of Secondary Magic Stones, it would affect the output of other low-grade materials, ultimately leading to chaos.
This method had more drawbacks than benefits, and it was a temporary solution, not a permanent one, so it was not feasible.
After thinking for a moment without any results, Lize shook her head and put the matter aside for now.
In terms of the army, the Star Alliance currently had a total of two large magic puppet armies, with a total of 250,000 magic puppets!
Even the Starfall Society a thousand years ago did not have so many magic puppets under its command.
Another main army, the Magic Rune Knight Regiment, also had its number of official members exceed 200,000 last year.
It is worth mentioning that the official members here refer to knights equipped with Magic Rune Constructs.
Due to the insufficient output of Magic Rune Constructs, the Magic Rune Knight Regiment still had over 100,000 reserve members.
In addition to ordinary troops, the Magic Rune Knight Regiment also had four ace troops: the Dragon Antelope Knights, the Aqua-Dragon Knights, the Pteranodon Knights, and the Storm Beast Knights.
The first three corresponded to land, sea, and air, while the Storm Beast was a combination of the three.
The largest was the Dragon Antelope Knight Regiment, with a total of 1,200 members.
The smallest was the Storm Beast Knight Regiment, with only about 500 members.
Besides, the Star Alliance also had three naval fleets, a total of 840 magic ships.
To be honest, not counting the wizards and wizard towers like high-end combat power, the Star Alliance’s current military strength was already no worse than the Starfall Society of the past.
“If it weren’t for Starlight Continent, the Star Alliance’s development speed could be even faster.”
Lize couldn’t help but sigh secretly.
But then again, if it weren’t for the closed environment of Starlight Continent, the Star Alliance would not have been able to develop peacefully.
The rise of every wizard force in the multiverse is bound to be met with attacks from internal (other wizard forces) or external (mainly the divine side) forces, and it is impossible to develop peacefully and prosper.
The existence of the Star Alliance can be said to be an exception.
Moreover, Lize also discovered that the key reason for the rapid development of the Star Alliance was still Su Nan.
Many of the Star Alliance’s high-end resources came from Su Nan.
This made Lize baffled.
If these potions, magic items, and puppets were all made by Su Nan, then the quantity was simply too astonishing!
Even if he dedicated all his time to cultivation and learning, it would be impossible for one person to produce so many resources.
Not to mention having time to build wizard towers.
But if it wasn’t made by Su Nan, where did he get so many resources?
Until today, Lize still couldn’t figure it out.
But this was also because she hadn’t intentionally investigated it.
It was a taboo everywhere to rashly investigate a wizard’s secrets.
She was still hoping that Su Nan would help her rebuild her body, and she didn’t want to fall out with him because of curiosity.
“What are you thinking about?”
A voice suddenly rang out, startling Lize out of her reverie.
She looked up and saw Su Nan standing in the room, his eyes twinkling as he looked at her.
“.Aren’t you in seclusion? Why did you come out?”
“I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know any way to speed up spiritual power recovery?” Su Nan thought for a moment and added, “Something feasible at this stage.”
Lize was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with puzzlement.
“The Element Pool in your wizard tower isn’t enough?”
She had seen the Element Pool in Su Nan’s wizard tower, and its effect was no less than that of a medium-sized Element Pool.
To be honest, when she saw that Element Pool, she almost thought she was hallucinating.
Logically, it shouldn’t be possible to find materials to make a medium-sized Element Pool on Starlight Continent.
Not to mention, the most crucial main material, Elemental Source Crystal, was simply unobtainable.
Could it be that Su Nan had gone to the Element Plane and killed an Element Giant Elder?
That was a powerful existence that even a Level 2 Wizard might not be able to defeat!
Su Nan didn’t explain further, only saying one sentence.
“I’m constructing the second talent crystal, and I’m at the final step of filling in spiritual power.”
“.I remember when I first arrived, you had just broken through to Level 1 Liquification not long ago?”
“That’s right.”
“.”
Lize took a deep breath and finally suppressed the storm that was rising in her heart.
To break through from Level 1 Liquification to Level 1 Crystallization in sixty years, and even construct a talent crystal model, what kind of cultivation speed was this?
She had spent a full two hundred and eighty-three years to go from Level 1 Liquification to Level 1 Crystallization!
Even that was considered a genius by everyone in the Starfall Society.
But now compared to Su Nan, it was instantly insignificant.
Staring at Su Nan, Lize only felt that the mist surrounding him was getting thicker and thicker, making it impossible to see through. (End of Chapter)
