Although it is still far from a true "Three-Phase Shock Burst," this dual layering effect has indeed significantly enhanced the power of his Spiritual Attack.
......
After returning to his residence, Ron went directly to the Meditation Room.
This evening’s exchange yielded him great gains, especially Eve’s deep explanation of the Favor rules, and the theoretical guidance on the "Three-Phase Shock Burst."
He could feel that his "Spiritual Shock" was already on the verge of some breakthrough, like a cocoon about to emerge into a butterfly.
"It’s time for the final exploration."
He took out the silver Pocket Watch, feeling the subtle warmth emanating from its surface:
"In Erica’s combat Memory, there must be an essence of Skills that I have yet to fully understand."
Ron re-entered the Historical Research Meditation state, his Spiritual Power extending like a probe, once again touching those ancient Time Marks on the Pocket Watch.
This time, he did not watch the intense battle with the Time Hound, but instead focused his full attention on the moment Erica cast the "Three-Phase Shock Burst."
In the almost static flow of time, he clearly saw how the legendary Wizard controlled their Spiritual Power.
Erica’s Spiritual World presented a complex structure beyond understanding, countless silver threads weaving a time network within.
When she launched the "Three-Phase Shock Burst," these threads instantly split into three beams, anchoring at the three time nodes of past, present, and future respectively.
"Not a simple division of Spirit..."
Ron suddenly realized:
"It’s a ’Time Duplication’ of Spiritual Power, projecting the same attack intention along the time axis!"
The finesse of this Skill far exceeded his imagination.
Erica wasn’t maintaining three different attacks simultaneously, but rather allowed the same attack to occur repeatedly at different points in time, forming a perfect overlay across time.
As his comprehension deepened, Ron felt his Spiritual World begin to undergo subtle changes.
The originally simple "Spiritual Shock" structure started to layer, reconstructing itself into a more complex and precise Energy Pattern.
The feeling was akin to transitioning from flat painting to three-dimensional sculpture, granting the entire attack mode a new dimension.
[Spiritual Shock (Proficient) Experience Points + 1]
[Breakthrough! Spiritual Shock (Proficient 100/100) → Spiritual Shock (Mastery 1/300)]
[Traits "Lag Circle" → Advanced Traits "Chaotic Fluctuation"]
[Chaotic Fluctuation:
Upon hitting the target, the Spiritual Attack forms a miniature distortion field around it.
The distortion field not only extends the chaotic effect, but also interferes with time-related abilities.]
At the moment of breakthrough, Ron felt an unprecedented inspiration surge through him.
It was not merely a Skills level increase, but a new understanding of the essence of power.
He attempted to cast the improved "Spiritual Shock," and immediately felt a qualitative change.
The attack was no longer a momentary impact but transformed into a continuous spiritual resonance.
Like a stone dropped in the consciousness of the target, stirring layer upon layer of ripples.
The newly acquired "Chaotic Fluctuation" Traits enabled him to initially possess the ability for a "Two-Phase Shock Burst."
Although he still couldn’t achieve a true simultaneous attack at three time nodes, he was already able to precisely control and launch two Spiritual Attacks in quick succession.
"This is the key to advancing to the Moon Level."
Ron took a deep breath, recalling Uther’s mention of the three major goals for advancing to the Moon Level:
"The first requirement is a Combined Magic Circuit."
Uther explained:
"Morning Star Wizards can typically maintain only one or two spells simultaneously, and auxiliary spells are often weak in Effect.
In contrast, Moon Level Wizards can construct a complete spell circuit network, precisely controlling the intensity and Effect of multiple auxiliary spells while casting the main spell.
This is not merely an increase in quantity but a qualitative change in control precision."
"To construct a Combined Magic Circuit, you need to integrate the ’Spiritual Power Diversion’ technique into your daily Casting.
Thus, when you cast a main spell, surplus Spiritual Power automatically diverts to auxiliary spells, forming a mutually enhancing Energy network."
Uther’s phantom sketched a complex symbol in the air, a miniature Energy structure diagram:
"Like this, the main spell at the center, auxiliary spells surrounding it, connected through specific Energy channels to form a complete cycling system."
"The second core system is the Spiritual Shock Grid." He continued:
"This is an advanced application of ’Spiritual Shock,’ requiring the upgrade of your Spiritual Attack capability from a single impact to a multi-net format attack.
Morning Star Wizards usually have linear Spiritual Attacks, whereas Moon Level Wizards use a three-dimensional net format, capable of launching Spiritual assaults on the target from multiple angles and layers simultaneously."
"Constructing the Spiritual Shock Grid requires mastering the ’Energy Structure Layering’ technique.
With this technique, your Spiritual Attack is no longer a simple shockwave but a composite structure composed of multi-layered Energy grids, capable of bypassing most Spiritual Defenses, directly attacking the core of the target’s consciousness."
"The third core system is the Radiation Field Control Matrix."
Uther looked at him, his voice filled with eager anticipation:
"Based on your ’Star Projection’ Traits, this should be relatively easy for you to master.
The radiation field of a Moon Level Wizard is no longer simply Energy overflow, but a multi-layered, multi-functional control system capable of dividing the radiation field into different functional layers as needed, simultaneously achieving Defense, Attack, and Perception."
"To construct the Radiation Field Control Matrix, you need to master the ’Domain Separation and Fusion’ technique.
This technique allows your radiation field to expand and contract like breathing, freely switching between different ranges and intensities."
Ron carefully recorded the key information in his mind, pondering how to incorporate it into his training plan.
"In short," Uther concluded:
"Moon Level is not only about power increase but is a qualitative shift in control precision and complexity.
A true Moon Level Wizard can maintain three to five auxiliary spells while casting a main spell, adjusting the environment through the radiation field in minute detail, maintaining a high level of strategic flexibility even in fierce battles."
"That’s why there’s such an evident gap between Moon Level and Morning Star Level."
Ron mused: "It’s not just about the accumulation of quantity but a leap in quality."
"Precisely." Uther agreed with a nod:
"The transition from Moon Level to Dark Sun Level then becomes an even further fundamental change.
Dark Sun Level Wizards begin constructing the Phantom Skeleton Prototype, preparing for the life level qualitative change of the Great Wizard.
This no longer involves external Energy manipulation, but a fundamental change in the form of one’s existence."
A Moon Level Wizard, anywhere, is considered elite and capable of handling things independently.
Even within top-notch Wizard forces like the Crystal Tower, they’re the absolute mainstay.
Someone like Hayek, sent outside, can directly ascend to the highest leadership.
With the breakthrough in "Spiritual Shock," he has already made substantial progress in the Spiritual Shock Grid.
The next step is to expand this dual attack into a three-dimensional grid, forming a truly multi-dimensional Spiritual Attack system.
As his strength increased, Ron became keenly aware that he would face an increasingly complex situation.
According to Uther’s previous explanations, great power is both a protection and a Curse.
Each breakthrough brings more attention, higher expectations, and more dangerous enemies.
"In three months, Cassandra will be returning."
He gazed at the Starry Sky outside the window:
"By then, the Crystal Tower, and perhaps the entire Central Lands, may experience an undercurrent... I must prepare early."
