Chapter 766: Chapter 462: The Key Point
In the Meditation Room.
Faint blue incense gently rose, soft white light fell on Colin’s face, casting deep shadows.
He caressed the Knowledge Crystal in his hand and continued to ponder.
Advancement from a Third Rank Wizard to a Fourth Rank Wizard was evident in numerous aspects.
For instance, soul strength. When advancing to the Fourth Rank, a wizard’s soul would inherently undergo a sublimation, significantly enhancing its strength, and after the advancement, the soul, once completely freed from the physical body, would enter a period of rapid enhancement.
These two factors combined made the soul strength of a Fourth Rank Wizard far superior to that of a Third Rank Wizard.
Moreover, Fourth Rank Wizards abandon their physical bodies, which also leads to enhanced casting capabilities. Without the physical hindrance, the soul’s connection with the world becomes tighter, and the environmental Magic Power that can be mobilized grows tremendously, essentially an upgraded version of a Third Rank Wizard’s soul in an out-of-body state.
However, the fundamental enhancement, undoubtedly, lies in the sublimated soul.
Therefore, if he wanted to continue progressing forward, his direction should clearly be towards soul sublimation!
Soul sublimation, in reality, was also about enhancing the soul.
Fourth Rank Wizards abandoning their physical bodies to extract the essence of their flesh was precisely because the human body limited further enhancements of the soul.
Even though it’s possible to enhance the physical body’s strength through methods like Bloodline Transformation or Element Transformation, those are not the original bodies and cannot fully match with the soul.
When the physical body and soul aren’t sufficiently matched, it doesn’t pose many problems when the soul isn’t strong. However, at the Fourth Rank stage, it not only affects further enhancement of the soul but also brings several negative impacts.
"However, I do not face such predicaments..." Colin murmured.
Strictly speaking, his physical body hadn’t undergone any external transformation.
Even if it had, he had assimilated it into his own.
Thus, the compatibility between his soul and body was one hundred percent.
In other words, as long as he continued to enhance his physical strength, then his soul could also break through its current limits and continue to enhance without any negative impact.
His current soul strength was higher than that of an ordinary Third Rank Wizard at their peak, which had indeed come about because his physical body was sufficiently robust.
"So to say, as long as I continue to enhance my body, the path ahead should naturally be smooth!"
Colin mused, quickly stood up, and left the Meditation Room.
...
"All the information about the Knight Breathing Method is here, Councilman. Do you wish to exchange for all of it?"
In Neustadt, at the Supreme Council Library, the attending wizard respectfully spoke to Colin.
"Yes," Colin nodded lightly and extended his hand, passing on the Councilman Badge.
"Here you are."
Moments later, the attending wizard handed back both the Councilman Badge and the engraved Knowledge Crystal.
Several hours later.
Golden Barley Meditation Room.
Colin sat cross-legged in the center, his mind moving slightly.
Pale golden particles converged, and a sheet of ancient Golden Paper that hovered between illusion and reality manifested in front of him.
His gaze swiftly moved to the Knight category, finding the Red Light Breathing Method.
Its progress was at 94/100.
Strictly speaking, the Red Light Breathing Method was actually only capable of reaching the Second Rank of Knight.
His ability to advance to Third Rank Knight was mainly due to the Divine Blood.
Divine Blood caused the Blood Energy in his body to grow continually, eventually leading to a qualitative transformation, thus enhancing his will and body transformations.
But now, without the Divine Blood, Colin found it challenging to find a viable path to further strengthen his body.
That’s why he had returned to Neustadt, to exchange for a vast amount of knowledge about knights from the Supreme Council Library, hoping to discern a direction for advancement.
Even if this knight knowledge couldn’t find a method to further enhance his body, at least it could boost the progress of the Red Light Breathing Method. Then, using the Golden Paper Limit Breaking on the Red Light Breathing Method would also bring enhancement.
Turning his hand, he took out a Knowledge Crystal from the Storage Ring and pressed it against his forehead, deeply engrossed in reading.
Two more days passed.
Colin was sitting cross-legged in the Meditation Room.
On the Golden Paper, the Red Light Breathing Method had reached a progress of 100/100, with an upward ↑ symbol faintly visible behind it.
Without hesitation, he reached for a Magic Stone and began converting Limit Breaking Points.
As the Lord of Tilamei, at least at this stage, he scarcely needed to worry about Magic Stones.
The resources the Tilaimei Plain could bring to him were astonishing.
After all, during peak times, the resources from Tilaimei Plain could support the Roon Family with several Third Rank Wizards, let alone him now.
Moments later, the ↑ symbol behind the Red Light Breathing Method lit up with a pale golden glow.
Colin felt a slight heaviness in his heart; the pale golden light indicated that the Red Light Breathing Method would temporarily reach its golden limit after this Limit Breaking and could not be enhanced further.
Exhaling a murky breath, he didn’t ponder any further but concentrated and firmly pressed the ↑ symbol behind the Red Light Breathing Method!
Bang.
Knowledge of the Knight Breathing Method surged through his mind like a raging river, countless thoughts and inspirations collided numerous times in a very short time.
The characters of the Red Light Breathing Method on the Golden Paper gradually blurred, then slowly became clear again, and finally settled into—[Red Light Breathing Method I (Golden)]
Simultaneously, many new pieces of knowledge emerged in Colin’s mind.
