Chapter 148: Chapter 128 Edison’s Transformation

In the room next to the laboratory, Lucien was organizing some fragmented information he had previously obtained from Count Sanaxis. At the same time, he began to make more targeted and refined improvements to the "trap" he had previously designed to capture Adeline.

Perhaps only an enemy truly understands another, and Lucien indeed found several previously undetected flaws in the design from some information Count Sanaxis had mentioned.

"Mentor Lucien..."

There came a rhythmic, gentle knocking at the door, and then Carly bounced in.

Lucien didn’t need to see Count Sanaxis to guess what had happened to him. After all, from the refreshed look on Carly’s face, it was highly likely that her negative emotions had perfectly transferred.

However, since Carly didn’t mention it, Lucien tactfully didn’t ask.

"You’ve come at the right time, take a look at the trap wizard formation I’ve redesigned. Although I haven’t taught you some specialized knowledge about wizard formations before, they are still strongly related to alchemy. You should be able to understand," he said.

Lucien handed Carly the wizard formation he had just revised, and also explained some of its functions to her.

"Mentor Lucien, I seem to have understood some of this while I was sleeping. Although it’s not exactly the same, the effects seem very similar, but according to the memories from my sleep, fairies call this type of proto-witchcraft array ’Spirit Attachment’..." Carly said, picking up a feather pen and began sketching on a piece of draft paper nearby.

Soon, under Carly’s pen emerged a pattern similar to an "ink painting", which at a glance looked like a depiction of flowers and birds; however, upon closer inspection, one could see that those flowers, grasses, and flying birds were all made up of ancient fairy scripts, interconnected and subtly forming a cohesive whole.

Carly didn’t offer much of an explanation, but with a simple wave of her hand, her bloodline power activated the simple witch formation, instantly gathering a faint Magic Essence above it and forming a small vortex.

"This Spirit Attachment is called ’Luna’, and has effects similar to binding and trapping the enemy. In some detail, it’s somewhat similar to the wizard formation you designed, Mentor Lucien..." Carly explained quietly, while also sharing with Lucien some variations of this distinctly fairy-style proto-witchcraft array.

The similar effects arising from two vastly different systems sparked an intellectual collision in Lucien’s mind. Even in one aspect of concealing the witch formation’s essence to make the trap appear more ’harmless’, the fairy’s Spirit Attachment showed superior effects...

Carly was extremely excited at this time, even more talkative than usual.

After all, this intellectual clash, although different from previous teachings, was still very enriching for Carly, giving her not just a deeper understanding of the wizard formation studies during her interactions with Lucien but also a deeper memory and understanding of the knowledge that had been vaguely imbued during her sleep...

Even unconsciously, the topics Carly discussed with Lucien gradually shifted from the immediate trap wizard formation to deeper, broader explorations of wizard formation studies and the fairy clan’s Spirit Attachment studies.

"Your student Carly has successfully integrated ’Spirit Attachment’ and ’Fundamentals of Witchcraft Array Studies’. Congratulations on mastering ’Advanced Integration of Witchcraft Array Studies’!"

"Your student Carly has successfully mastered ’Spirit Attachment’. Congratulations on obtaining ’Minor Bond of Witchcraft Array Studies’!"

Lucien didn’t realize how long they had talked, but both his and Carly’s cups had been empty for a while when he received two system notifications.

The incoming information was vast and, unlike the forced knowledge telepathic dumps from the system before, this time, as he and Carly had already begun to fuse the human wizards’ witch formation studies with the fairy passed-down Spirit Attachment, the infusion felt more like a swift digestion and filling of already grasped knowledge to Lucien.

"It seems there’s no need to take Carly to the Underground Space for another round of learning," Lucien thought, a smile appearing on his face. Now, with a combined understanding of both disciplines, his grasp of witch formation studies had surpassed that contained in the underground library book. He could easily circumvent some of the content limited by the contract and directly teach Carly more perfect integrated witch formation knowledge.

At this moment, Carly seemed to also sense some changes in herself after finishing their discussion, feeling as though she had an epiphany about the Spirit Attachment knowledge, a significant improvement over her previous understanding which was clear but vague.

Even now as she pondered some issues, she unconsciously integrated the knowledge of witch pattern studies with fairy Spirit Attachment, forming a unique witch formation mindset which was more natural than witch pattern styles and simpler than Spirit Attachment styles...

"Mentor Lucien, I feel this witch formation can still be optimized!" Carly’s eyes sparkled, and Lucien nodded his head with a smile.

Watching Carly, he decided to temporarily set aside the topic of witch formations. "Carly, did you come to see me for something specific?"

"Oh...," Carly patted her head, recalling that she had almost forgotten the reason she came to see Mentor Lucien in her excitement.

She hurriedly took out a form from her storage ring and placed it on Lucien’s desk, "It’s just... I’ve noticed some odd changes in Apprentice Edison’s body recently, so I wanted to consult with Mentor Lucien."

"Strange?" Lucien was also curious now. He picked up the form handed to him by Carly and saw the dense data on it.

This was actually about various data concerning Edison’s body, and there were also a few simple diagrams by the side.

"Now, Edison’s appetite is increasing by about 40% to 60% every day, and as of yesterday, there was still no sign of it stopping," Carly explained on the side.

She had initially just planned to use potions to "trick" Edison into being her sparring partner, but she didn’t expect this apprentice’s stomach to be like a bottomless pit. Had it not been for her own status as a Pharmacist and the terrifying potion-making talent of the Fairy Clan, she might have found it very difficult to "feed" this big eater at this point.

"Aside from appetite and physical appearance, are there any other changes?" Lucien wondered, asking further.

"Nothing else really... just that Apprentice Edison’s physical condition has significantly improved again... If I don’t go all out, I might not even be able to break through his skin," Carly thought and explained.

"According to my estimates, the defensive capability of Edison’s skin is somewhat similar to that offered by Zero-level Witchcraft ’Leather Armor,’ instantly withstanding a 200P move wouldn’t break through his skin, and if he utilizes his Bloodline Power, both the toughness and defense of the skin would increase further..."

"200P?" Lucien was slightly taken aback. This level of physical defense was already comparable to some defense-focused Magic Beasts, not to mention Edison also had a more frightening ability to recover physically.

If all these were nothing, what about adding systematic Body Refining Witchcraft training?

It is known that Physical Refining Wizards aim to turn their bodies into permanent Witch Tools, continuously integrating runes with their bodies during training, and strengthening and upgrading their bodies through spiritual power, further tapping into the potential within.

If the Physical Refining Wizard’s own body is a treasure trove, then after being mined by the Body Refinement sect, the body’s "treasure trove" would be realized.

What would Edison become by then? According to Lucien’s estimation, by then, Edison would likely be an indestructible, even unbreakable physical "monster!"

If all these were nothing, what if Edison were to learn the "Immortal Body" Talent that he discovered from Count Sanaxis?

Just imagining some future enemies managing to break through Edison’s defenses, thinking the dawn was nigh, only for Edison to display a more monstrous physical recovery ability than his surface defense.

Then those people continue to attack, and after they "kill" Edison with great effort against his strong recovery power, they discover Edison possesses the Immortal Body," what a despair they would feel.

Not to mention, Edison also possesses a talent for explosive power, pushing through critically in a rage.

If Lucien were to describe it, it would be a human-shaped rampaging tyrannosaurus with a body recovery ability comparable to the bride-destroying child, and similar to the red fire of a black dragon... hm, not even a blow to the head would affect him.

Fighting Edison is like fighting a boss?

No, if only Edison were as easy to defeat as a boss.

Thinking about the scenes where Edison, without even moving, could exhaust and infuriate his enemies to death, Lucien couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation in his heart.

"No worries, the potions he’s consumed these days can be counted as mine; just report the number of Magic Stones needed at that time, Carly."

Lucien said casually. After all, since becoming a Formal Wizard, even though he hasn’t exploited other Wizard Apprentices like some Formal Wizards, merely relying on the academy’s "committee subsidy" and the allocated resources’ annual output, Lucien’s financial situation had been greatly eased, making supporting an Edison very easy for him at this time.

"No need, Mentor Lucien, it’s just a matter of time for me," Carly shook her head, looking at Lucien with a sincere gaze.
