Chapter 143: Chapter 122: A Belated Visitor
"Spiritual Surrounding, Magic Power Aggregation, Structurally Stable..."
Spiritual Power gathered at Ron’s fingertips into a complex structure.
This was the core exercise of the third phase "Spiritual Control" course—constructing a triple stable model and injecting a specific Magic Power sequence into the model.
In the classroom, more than ten other students were equally focused, with a Crystal Ball floating in front of each, flashing with various colors, reflecting each one’s progress in spiritual construction.
Master Eric stood at the front, his gaze sweeping over each student like an eagle, eyes showing a mix of approval and sternness.
"Pay attention to the stability of your structure," he reminded sternly, "A circuit that’s too complex will cause energy leakage, while one too simple can’t bear enough Magic Power. The key is balance."
In Ron’s Crystal Ball, a three-layered geometric structure gradually formed, with the outermost layer being a dodecahedron, the middle an octahedron, and the core a perfect sphere.
The different levels were connected by tiny energy bridges, forming a coordinated and unified whole.
This triple structure was called the "Starlight Model," an advanced version of Basic Magic Construction, with increased difficulty.
But for Ron, who already had "Magic Construction (Proficient)," this challenge wasn’t too big.
Once the structure inside the Crystal Ball stabilized, Ron began the second stage—Magic Power injection.
This required even more control than the construction itself, as any slight mistake could collapse the entire model.
He took a deep breath, mobilizing his internal Magic Power, allowing it to slowly flow into the model along the preset path.
Magic Power seeped into each layer of the structure like a stream, from the outside to the inside, eventually gathering into a bright starlight at the core sphere.
"Very good, Ron." Eric stopped beside him and nodded with satisfaction. "Your structural stability and Magic Power control have both reached quite a high level."
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Eric," Ron humbly replied.
"Next week, we’ll be doing casting practice in a more complex environment, such as model construction in a Spiritual Interference field."
Eric reminded, "I hope you can maintain this level."
As he moved to the next student, Ron breathed a slight sigh of relief.
From the first day of becoming an Intermediate Apprentice, he had devoted himself entirely to the third-phase courses.
Simultaneously, the Alchemy and Elemental Affinity courses were also progressing steadily.
Especially in Alchemy, with Master Thompson’s special guidance, his progress was exceptionally rapid.
After the class ended, Ron did not leave immediately but continued practicing the variant forms of the Starlight Model for a while.
It was his habit—extra practice after class for deeper mastery.
When the classroom was empty except for him, Eric returned to tidy up the teaching tools, seeing him still practicing diligently, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"You’ve surpassed all other apprentices of your period in speed, Ron," Eric walked over and said. "In just two weeks, you’ve basically mastered the core content of the third-phase courses."
Ron put away the Crystal Ball and respectfully replied, "This is all thanks to your careful guidance, Master."
Eric shook his head, "Don’t be too modest, your talent and effort are the main reasons. I discussed with Leia, if you can maintain this progress, you can qualify for advanced courses next month."
Ron’s eyes lit up, "Advanced courses?"
"Yes," Eric explained, "The content will be more in-depth, personally taught by our masters."
"It would be a great honor," Ron sincerely said.
"By the way, I’ve heard you’re also doing well in Alchemy and Elemental Affinity courses recently?" Eric asked.
"Just maintaining a stable progress," Ron humbly said, "Master Thompson and Master Laila have provided a lot of guidance."
Eric smiled slightly, "Diverse development isn’t a bad thing, as long as you can balance all aspects. The Wizard’s path is ever-changing, finding the one that suits you best is the key."
When leaving the classroom, Ron already had a clear plan in mind: go all out, striving to qualify for the advanced courses within a month.
This would open the door to higher-level knowledge for him.
Returning to the workshop at night, Ron found Ailan focused on something at the desk.
"Welcome back, Master." Ailan looked up, greeting with a leaf writing board, wisdom shining in those green eyes.Google seaʀᴄh ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
"What are you doing?" Ron approached to ask.
"Sorting this month’s accounts as per your instructions."
Ailan replied, displaying her neatly arranged records:
"Last week’s income totaled one hundred seventy-three Magic Stone Fragments, expenditures were eighty-six, net earnings eighty-seven, combined with previous total income, we currently have a total of four hundred Magic Stone Fragments."
Ron nodded, satisfied with Ailan’s performance.
Recently, he began teaching Ailan basic bookkeeping and material management, which not only lightened his burden but also allowed Ailan’s abilities to further develop.
"Well done, Ailan," Ron said with a smile, "Tomorrow we need to procure a batch of new materials, can you prepare a list?"
"Already prepared, Master." Ailan promptly displayed another sheet, detailing various Magic Potion Materials and Alchemy Ingredients, even marked with estimated prices and priorities.
Ron took the list and examined it carefully, highly satisfied with Ailan’s meticulous work.
"Once my Bloodline Duplication ability becomes more proficient, I’ll try to help you activate more ancient bloodlines."
He promised, "I believe there is extraordinary potential within you, Ailan."
