Chapter 369: Chapter 358: Experiment and Amnesia

After feeling thrilled, Tang Qi withdrew his gaze from himself.

Quickly, he remembered the price he paid to smoothly advance to a Professional-level Melter Wizard, while preserving his self, not ending up like those previous Melter Wizards, imprinted by the Master of the Crucible, becoming His follower.

The secrets of Professional-level, are also the traps of Professional-level.

Not just for Melter Wizards, most powerful professions are like this, especially those involving a certain Divine.

But Tang Qi differed from most Transcendents; he swallowed the sugar coating, while secretly hiding the Bomb.

He used the Soul Splitting Spell to separate the soul fragments of the original host he once devoured, Old Morgan, which had been assimilated by Tang Qi’s own soul by nature, coupled with some crude pieces cut off, creating a perfect substitute for himself, an “inferior Tang Qi” soul to endure the imprint.

Tang Qi dared to commit such “blasphemy,” because there was a straightforward reason.

The one executing the trial program was an automatically functioning projection, not the Master of the Crucible.

Tang Qi stared directly at the Crucible, discerned the loopholes, and if he did not exploit them, wouldn’t that be foolish?

Of course, there were other costs besides this.

The most serious one he could clearly feel: he had lost many memories.

The memories of the original host!

The memories of Old Morgan!

It seemed not to have too much impact, as his own memories were not lost.

However, sometimes there might be effects, like… lack of common sense?

Additionally, the soul would experience a brief period of weakness, but as long as he was not overexerting, it would not greatly affect his combat power.

…

According to the special images, Tang Qi’s strength had clearly undergone immense changes, yet to truly feel the transformation brought by Professional-level, he still had to put it into practical use.

“Hunting? Or… hmm?”

Just when Tang Qi, who was pondering where to hunt, suddenly noticed Gluttony sneaking up on him.

It was using its two straps as legs, quietly approaching, seemingly sensing something, wanting to get closer to Tang Qi.

“You sure are sharp, I’ll use you for a test first.”

While speaking, Tang Qi casually pulled Gluttony over.

At the same time, a surge of the new Melting Furnace Power poured into its body.

A scene that had occurred before happened again, only more exaggerated.

“Gulu gulu gulu”

Gluttony, trembling crazily.

Just like a suitcase, its body shook and bloated intermittently, or its bright red tongue flailed wildly; strange Information Fragments transmitted into Tang Qi’s mind.

“Ah ah ah… Such Magic Power, so high-end, so delicious.”

“Worthy of the great feeder recognized by Gluttony, oh no, stop it, I can’t take it anymore.”

“Pop~”

As usual, Tang Qi casually tossed Gluttony against the wall.

It lay there, both straps and red tongue hanging limp like noodles, with charred marks all over, even emitting steam with a “hiss,” but through its open mouth, it could be seen that the “Pocket Space” inside had expanded to double its size from before.

At this moment, it was nearly half the size of a soccer field.

This was the most effective “feeding” of Gluttony by Tang Qi so far.

Indirectly, this confirmed the change in the Melting Furnace Power.

However, this was just one aspect, Tang Qi did not intend to stop here; he got up and went to the workbench set up by the meditation room and in the living room.

Taking out some bullets at random, he directly grasped them in his hand.

Tang Qi didn’t resort to the foolish “Soaking Method” again, but instead, unleashed a golden Light Flame.

It was as thin as a strand of hair, yet contained unimaginable power.

Following his will, this strand of Melting Furnace Power slowly sketched out the pattern of a Sun Furnace, and when the final stroke was completed, that sun “whooshed,” and the delicate but tenacious Melting Furnace Power began to release, instantly permeating the entire bullet.

When Tang Qi’s gaze fell upon it, a strong ghost light spilled out.

[Curios: Melting Furnace Bomb.]

[Quality: Excellent.]

[Information Fragment: Created by a novice artifact forger using the true power of the Crucible, this bullet possesses a physical killing force comparable to thermal weapons, while also releasing the power of the Crucible upon hitting the target, inflicting tremendous damage to creatures of any camp, with chaos and Evil Camp creatures receiving double the injury.]

“So that means, the damage is doubled, and creatures from other camps can no longer reduce or be immune to the damage.”

Tang Qi pondered for a moment, setting down the newly created “bomb.”

After some thought, it was clear that no experimental work could be done on the side of Secret Medicine, as many formulas from the Original Secret Medicine School needed the assistance of “Extraordinary Flames,” but unfortunately, they could only be concocted after being promoted to an apprentice.

As for enchantments, or other support professions, unfortunately, he knew none.

Perhaps he could try learning when he had more free time.

Tang Qi mumbled to himself, already having a general understanding of the potential of this paid version of the Crucible Power in other areas.

But he wanted to experiment with changes to his combat abilities as well.

Knowing about the arrogance of those Melter Wizards during the Dark Age, and how they used death-defying means to obliterate such a powerful, horrifically potential wizard lineage, Tang Qi had decided from the start not to use Merit to exchange for matching witchcraft.

Although those witchcraft seemed domineering and strong.

It was exactly because of that, they were too recognizable. Once Tang Qi used them, it would likely be impossible to disguise them with “Flame Spell” as he does now.

Though it would slow down the increase in Tang Qi’s combat capabilities.

However, if this transformed power of the Crucible was really like what he sensed in “Ember Sun,” then it might not slow down his combat capabilities at all.

On the contrary, he would once again experience a surge in strength.

“Why not, clear out Green Dragon Ridge Lake again?”

No sooner had Tang Qi thought this than he quickly shook his head.

He believed that if he really did so, the next day’s “Mysterious Daily·Secret Phoenix Chapter” report on him would certainly contain some slight deviations.

For example, from a dominant principal to a tyrannical principal.

Clearing it once was not enough; there had to be a second time.

Tang Qi didn’t mind these things; he was worried that now it should be hard to find suitable chaos and Evil Camp monsters to experiment on in Green Dragon Ridge Lake.

After all, on that night, the seven most powerful creatures and species within the migrating horde were annihilated by Tang Qi, and the rest of the small fries had all fled into Saint Martin Lake. Now, deep inside Green Dragon Ridge Lake, there must still be some hidden evil monsters.

But according to the data left by the Witch Group, such beings or mysterious phenomena are clearly not something he should provoke, even though he is now a Professional-level Melter Wizard.

Back in Blue Deer City, Tang Qi had encountered the still-unresolved mystery of the “Abyssal Soap Bubble,” and he would not revisit it again unless he reached the Demigod level in the future.

Deep inside Green Dragon Ridge Lake, there might well be such horrific neighbors.

One thing was certain, however; if there were any, they should presently be in a dormant state.

Tang Qi may be a Melter Wizard, but so far, he had not learned their most adept skill… courting death.

Melter Wizard’s Complete Record of Death!

This book details the various ways that some Melter Wizards met with their demise.

The most typical one was to deliberately find slumbering Evil Gods or creations like “Evil God’s Intestines,” “Evil God Meat,” and to grab them and start a sacrifice while they were asleep.

This act had a very high success rate, which is why the wizards could not get enough of it.

Only, if failed, there was no other outcome besides death.

For the time being, Tang Qi was not planning to edge toward death so soon.

“Since Green Dragon Ridge Lake is not an option, some of the monster nests along the coast have also been almost cleared by me, and the rest are a bit tricky… Hm?”

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Tang Qi’s eyes brightened.

In his mind, a figure immediately emerged.

“Wait, he seems to be just one step away from the Professional level. Would it be considered bullying to challenge him?”

“Hm, maybe I should allow him to use Curios.”

The second thought emerged, and Tang Qi immediately shook his head again.

“I’m going to bully someone, not to be unhappy. Better not tell him that I’ve reached the Professional level, just say I’ve learned a new Skill and ask for a spar.”

“Huh.”

As he spoke, Tang Qi casually tore open a Void Gate.

Behind the door was an ancient castle, grandiose and immense, with a different style from “Dragon Heart Castle,” but equally towering.
