Chapter 113: Chapter 78: The Breath of the Soul

"The Ascetic Body Refinement secret book was something I picked up at the Hoddam Wizard Market; I thought I had been duped at first, only to realize later that I had stumbled upon a real treasure..."

"The Apprentice wizard who sold me the secret book has vanished without a trace... But even if I found him, he might not have the subsequent parts."

"Perhaps I can only start by dealing with Angelie."

Ronan’s eyes flickered slightly as he used the distinct God Burning Potion given by Angelie when he broke through to become an Official Wizard.

The mysterious component added completed the last bit of proficiency needed for the Expert Level of Ascetic Body Refinement.

If he could figure out what this mysterious component is, he might find the direction for the Master Level training of Ascetic Body Refinement.

Of course, finding Angelie and pressuring him for clues is a significant challenge for Ronan now.

Lola is like a mad dog, who has cornered Ronan several times.

But in fact, in Ronan’s heart, the greatest threat he felt was from Angelie, even though Angelie had been quite "friendly" and even "helped" him...

He’s a person of fickle moods; Ronan could feel the shadow cast by Angelie’s smile, and Angelie’s heart might be even colder and more indifferent than those crows pecking at carrion, one second cozying up to your cheek, the next he might peck out your eyes...

For now, he could only try to look for clues in the Silver Magic Ring.

Spiritual power seeped into his body, and Ronan saw a fist-sized white light ball floating quietly in the center of his chest.

Numerous white light points emerged from various parts of his body like moths to the flame, merging into the light ball.

This was the product of the abundant life force in Ronan’s body, also the energy driven by the active triggering of the Talent [Pure Body].

It consumes and also slowly self-replenishes.

But once it recovers to the size of a fist, it stops growing, probably related to the proficiency of Ascetic Body Refinement.

Anyway, Ronan would never give up the path of Ascetic Body Refinement.

The emergence of [Pure Body] was the first change in his character panel’s Talent Bar, bringing enhancement far beyond any Extraordinary Magic Domain Power gained from previous magic breakthroughs to Master Level...

This is a path of immense potential.

Although wizards seek Immortal Soul, Ronan is really looking forward to seeing, if he keeps going down this path, what kind of form he will evolve into in the future!

"The most immediate issue to address now... is the problem of the Soul Seal and the inheritance of First Rank Magic."

Ronan walked to the desk in the room and sat down, his fingers habitually tapping lightly on the table surface, producing a crisp and rhythmic sound.

Due to the lack of these two things, Ronan cannot yet be considered a true Level 1 Wizard.

This is also the sorrow of being part of the Wandering Wizard group.

Without systematic inheritance and guidance, every step has to be explored alone; sometimes, he couldn’t even find the stone to step on next...

To be honest.

Ronan’s requirements for the Soul Seal are actually quite low.

He only needs something appropriate, not too bad.

Because Grace told him, the Soul Seal can be changed and more than one can be condensed.

For a wizard just stepping into Level 1, when the soul power is not that strong yet, it’s also not possible to refine a very advanced and powerful seal...

Actually, Ronan has a set of Soul Seal and the corresponding First Rank Magic inheritance.

It was found in Lola’s Waist Storage Bag.

The name of the Seal is — [Bloodthirst].

Ronan has personally experienced its effects; it can induce a bloodthirsty frenzy state in the plant servants summoned by Plant magic, significantly boosting their capabilities nearly double, with the duration depending on the Spiritual Power, the downside being a subsequent "Weakness Period" where the power of plant servants greatly diminishes.

If choosing the [Bloodthirst] Seal, Ronan would have to switch to practicing Plant magic.

The good news is that Lola’s Waist Storage Bag has many items needed by Plant Wizards, even an Unscathed Leaf that greatly enhances Plant magic.

If Plant magic wasn’t a completely unfamiliar field to Ronan, and if he had any interest in Plant Series, he might have already started refining the [Bloodthirst] Seal.

For now, the [Bloodthirst] Seal is only considered as the last reserve option in Ronan’s mind, possibly considered only when really no better options are available.

Ronan’s plan now is to join the Silver Magic Ring, however, to obtain inheritance through the Silver Magic Ring... If only the recruitment standards of the Silver Magic Ring weren’t so high.

"The strength of the Silver Magic Ring is probably more than ten times stronger than Hoddam Academy, having the backing of such a powerful force would be beneficial for my future..."

Ronan still vividly remembers the scene of Hoddam Academy being utterly destroyed, almost every time he closes his eyes, he can recall the dense blood-red clouds covering the sky, thick like clotted blood unable to be dispersed.

"Crimson Tower.."

He murmured the name, "I wonder what Hoddam looks like now."

...

In the tiny room, the lighting crystal emitted bright but not harsh light.

Two ultra-miniature Rune Formations on the wall glowed dimly, operating silently.

Ronan sat at the table, holding a carving knife in one hand and a blank rune stone in the other, quietly focusing on engraving.

Time flowed like water, and after a while, a bright light burst from Ronan’s hands accompanied by a slight "pop", white smoke rose and then quickly ascended, all being sucked into a small air vent on the wall.
