At this stage, for him, a strike from a Morning Star Level Wizard is already a force sufficient to break the balance.
Previously, the scorpion’s claw strike was only close to the output of an Official Wizard, yet it shattered the incredibly solid Earth Elemental Golem into pieces.
Not to mention that true wizards can also use Super Magic Techniques, making their destructive power even more formidable if recorded...
Ending his thoughts, Ron carefully checked the function of "Perfect Isolation" again.
This is precisely the most crucial part of his plan — the energy barrier used to safely split the soul.
He focused his Spirit to form a miniature energy barrier area within his body.
Surprisingly, this area indeed formed three layers of isolation as stated on the panel.
The first layer blocks energy, the second layer blocks the spirit, and the third layer is specifically for soul fluctuations.
The three layers superimposed almost completely block the interaction of internal and external energy.
"Too perfect..."
Ron nodded in satisfaction.
The soul splitting safety issue that had always troubled him now had a reliable solution.
But then he frowned again.
The charging of Thousand Transformations had reset to zero, which means its subsequent ability development still requires the absorption of soul energy.
"Once fully charged, it can be used as a key item for advancing the epic profession (Four Stars)..."
Ron mulled over this hint repeatedly, his eyes flickering with thoughtful light.
The Three Stars {Black Wizard} and {Crown Knight} are invincible at the Official Wizard level.
So this so-called Four Stars epic profession might be directly targeting the level of a Great Wizard.
And the Pocket Watch of the Time Guardian corresponding to the Time Guardian could be a terrifying profession that can control the flow of time.
To most apprentices, becoming an Official Wizard is already the highest pursuit.
But the ceiling of the Extraordinary World is naturally much higher than this.
Above the Official Wizard, there are Great Wizards who can traverse the starry sea and destroy stars or even vast galaxies with a wave of a hand. Above the Great Wizard is the Witch King, who rules over numerous conquered planes.
And according to legends, there are even higher-level existences:
Those called "Demon Gods," great beings who can change rules with mere thoughts.
Thinking of this, he quickly calmed down; with his current little Karami strength, he couldn’t be too complacent.
Ron meticulously recorded this speculation about epic professions into the Library of Consciousness, marking it as an important clue to be verified.
Taking a deep breath, Ron stood up and slowly walked towards the window.
Outside, the night in the Black Mist Jungle was deep, and the faint moonlight penetrated the thick fog, casting a silver veil over this mysterious land.
His gaze passed through the mist and fell on the looming School tower in the distance.
"This is just the beginning."
Ron silently thought to himself: "And there’s the Stand-In Puppet and the Master Sword..."
In the Furnace Plan, these three items each have different roles:
Thousand Transformations is responsible for energy isolation and the spiritual barrier, ensuring the stability of the entire system;
The Stand-In Puppet is responsible for soul splitting and doppelganger control, providing additional movement capability;
The Master Sword is responsible for force aggregation and pollution transformation, turning negative effects into positive power.
These three coordinate to form a complete power cycle system.
Allowing Ron to benignly acquire those powers usually considered forbidden while avoiding risks.
"Tomorrow, once I get the Stand-In Puppet, the plan will enter the next stage."
He looked at the distant tower, calm and determined.
Everything was advancing according to the plan, step by step, steadily.
.........
In a rare moment, the Black Mist Jungle cleared up in the morning.
Sunlight penetrated the perennial mist, shedding warm light upon the Central Tower.
A few passing apprentices cast envious and curious glances toward the tower, discussing yesterday’s astonishing battle and the upcoming precious rewards.
"I heard the vice dean offered an Abyssal Treasure as the grand prize this time! It’s a rare gem he brought back from the Crystal Tower!"
A tall and thin apprentice excitedly told his companion next to him.
"That scorpion was reportedly brought back from the Abyss 3rd Floor. Surviving before such a creature alone is no easy feat, let alone someone being able to coordinate everyone to fight together."
An older apprentice commented solemnly, his tone filled with respect for the recently debated figure.
Inside one of the large rooms of the Central Tower, various prizes had long been set up, shimmering with the unique phantasmagoric glow of Extraordinary Items.
The victors of the Bloody Gladiatorial Games had been waiting there for some time, each wearing an expression ranging from hopeful to expectant.
Ron stood on the side, his face calm, only his slightly clenched hands betrayed a bit of inner emotion.
As time went by, more and more apprentices gathered in the room to wait.
He paid no attention to the occasional whispers, his focus entirely on the upcoming reward ceremony.
Especially the Stand-In Puppet, which could become a crucial part of his soul splitting plan.
Holt, with a calm face and upright posture, showed only slightly bluish circles under his eyes, indicating he perhaps didn’t sleep well last night;
Beside Trish was her inseparable bodyguard Li Yue, the panther lady, though treated, still looked weak;
The other surviving contestants appeared either excited or nervous, awaiting their respective rewards.
Vice Dean Hayek, wearing a deep purple Wizard’s Robe, stood in the center of the platform with a dignified and calm demeanor.
Soron and Yuni stood on either side, their gazes occasionally lingering on Ron.
