"This is an extension and enhancement of their innate abilities, rather than a forced infusion of external skills."
To prove this point, he asked a randomly selected Wizard to conduct a weak Spiritual Power probe on the lizard.
To everyone’s surprise, the lizard not only noticed immediately but also precisely pinpointed the source of the probe.
At the same time, the scales on its back instantly turned a special purple, representing a Spiritual Power invasion.
"In wild exploration or encounters with enemies, this ability can provide the carrier with comprehensive protection, preventing any form of ambush or covert spying."
Ron concluded, succinctly yet logically clear.
Subsequently, the verification phase entered the most critical section—the stability test.
The lizard was placed in a specially designed Energy Field, simulating various complex environmental interferences.
No matter how the Energy Field changed, the lizard maintained perfect stability, showing no signs of energy leakage or functional decline.
For a full ten minutes, while the works of other contestants showed varying degrees of fatigue or instability, Ron’s Crystal Lizard remained vibrant and performed as it did initially.
The audience erupted into enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Even Ordinary People, who knew nothing about Bloodline Modulation, could sense the remarkable quality of this work.
"Simply perfect!" Eve murmured in admiration from the VIP seat, her amethyst eyes sparkling:
"The Master’s work doesn’t have a single flaw to be found!"
The Masters in the VIP seats were also exchanging evaluations.
"The control over details is impressive."
William commented, his eyes reflecting professional appreciation:
"Every Energy Node is arranged just right, without any redundancy or shortage. Such precise Control Power is rare even among veteran Modulators."
Eliot nodded in agreement:
"The technical mastery goes without saying, but what’s even more commendable is his respect for and understanding of biological instincts.
His enhancements are based on the lizard’s existing traits, representing a natural extension rather than the forceful infusion often seen in traditional modulation."
"This is truly the art of Bloodline Modulation."
Valen showed a look of understanding in his eyes:
"It’s not just a simple accumulation of energy, but Insight and reshaping of the Essence of Life.
His philosophy is very close to the core idea of ancient Alchemy—conforming to nature rather than distorting it."
Even Neumann, who had maintained a reserved attitude, had to admit internally:
"To achieve such accomplishments at such a young age, it seems the ’Treasure Level’ evaluation is not just an empty title."
After rigorously inspecting all the works, the jury of three senior Modulators began the final scoring.
They not only observed the performance and stability of the works but also conducted microscopic analysis of every Energy Node and bloodline path using specialized Alchemy Equipment.
In the end, a light lit up in front of each of them—a golden one, representing their unanimous championship decision.
"After unanimous deliberation by the jury."
Maurice solemnly announced:
"The gold award for this ’Rainbow Ring’ competition goes to—Ron Ralph, Teaching Assistant at the Crystal Tower!"
The whole venue erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
Ron maintained his usual composure, nodding slightly as he walked onto the podium.
"The silver award goes to Jenny Hain, Lecturer at the Tower of Vibrations!"
Jenny smiled gracefully, her eyes filled with a blend of regret and respect for the stronger, as she elegantly stepped forward to claim her prize.
"The bronze award goes to Andrews Wilson, Master at the Dark House!"
Andrews nodded, accepting the applause and congratulations from the audience.
The three award winners stood on stage, basking in the cheers and accolades from the audience.
"The gold award winner will receive a precious original replica of ’Lance’s Experiment Notes,’ as well as a reward of twenty Magic Stones."
Maurice continued to announce:
"Then, according to the rules, the awarded works will belong to the organizers."
There is no entry fee for the competition.
The winning works belong to the organizers, which is equivalent to using the prize to thank the contestants for their Bloodline Modulation services.
"The silver and bronze award winners will receive the corresponding rewards of twelve and five Magic Stones, respectively.
Additionally, they will each receive a limited edition of ’Lance’s Theory Collection’ and a rare materials set."
When Ron received the beautifully bound ’Lance’s Experiment Notes,’ a look of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.
For a seeker of truth, this notebook, which contains the wisdom crystals of an ancient master, is far more precious than any material reward.
After the award ceremony, the contestants began to exchange experiences and insights with each other.
Jenny took the initiative to approach Ron, her eyes showing sincere admiration.
"Assistant Professor Ralph, your work is truly astounding."
Her brown eyes were full of admiration:
"Especially the enhancement of the Crystal Lizard’s Spiritual Perception Ability, such precision is simply unprecedented."
"You’re too kind, Lecturer Hain," Ron replied modestly:
"Your work in constructing environmental adaptability is equally impressive. That seamless metabolic adjustment mechanism surely requires extraordinary Energy Control skills."
Andrews, Sofia, and several other contestants also joined the exchange circle, discussing their insights and technical details.
In the academic exchange, the prior competitive tension was gradually replaced by the enthusiasm for knowledge sharing.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the edge of the crowd.
It was Mueller, who had been previously disqualified.
His face was still somewhat pale, but his expression had recovered.
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became a bit heavy for a moment.
Mueller took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Colleagues, I deeply apologize for my reckless behavior today."
His voice was low and sincere:
"My rash actions not only endangered myself but could have brought irreparable loss to those present. This is an unforgivable professional error as a Modulator."
He turned to Ron, his eyes filled with gratitude:
"Especially Assistant Professor Ralph, if not for your timely intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I owe you a heartfelt thanks."
