The Wizard's Pursuit of Truth

With a HISS, the White Bone Particle Energy began to proliferate rapidly. Space itself started to compress, as if he hadn’t been using his full power at all before.

In fact, since entering the Battlefield for the deathmatch, Wizard Yi Si had been standing perfectly still, his expression incomparably cold.

Aside from the surge of White Bone Particle Energy, he had yet to use a single Witchcraft.

But now, he moved. He took a single step toward the four of them, and under the empowerment of some unknown force, the surrounding White Bone Particle Energy began to erode even space itself.

Wizard Yi Si also needed this opportunity to demonstrate the power of the White Bone Lineage.

When the tiger dozes, even monkeys grow bold enough to test their luck.

If he didn’t let a tiger’s roar shake the forest this once, the White Bone School, ranked second among the Extraordinary Schools, would probably be endlessly pestered by a bunch of nobodies again.

As for being targeted after this display... a mocking expression crossed his lips. ’They’re just four pieces of trash. How could they possibly force me to use my true power?’

’Yi Si... he’s gotten stronger again. His White Bone Particles can actually spread through the void. Unbelievable. Is this an Ability at the Space Layer combined with White Bone Particle Energy, or has he taken another step forward in the balance between illusion and reality, pulling ahead of all of us...?’

The emotions of the spectating Wizards roiled. They had no idea what kind of changes Wizard Yi Si’s newfound power would bring.

It wouldn’t be long now before he could take that final step and reach the level of power held by the chief apprentices of the various great Schools.

That was a Wizard Apprentice who had reached the standard of an Official Wizard in a certain aspect, needing only the final Sublimation to advance.

They were terrifying and exceedingly rare. On public record in the Dark Land, only about twenty such individuals existed.

Only fourteen were at the Dark Land Headquarters, and the chiefs of the twelve Extraordinary Schools were all at this level of power.

BOOM!

As Wizard Yi Si walked, the seawater and reefs transformed into bone, and the sky behind him became like a vast white curtain.

A colossal white bone hand formed in the sky. Wizard Yi Si raised his right hand and gave it a gentle wave toward the four men’s position.

This terrifying Witchcraft descended with it, carrying a dreadful momentum.

The exterior of the white bone hand was an illusion; its true essence was White Bone Particle Energy, constantly amplifying as it vibrated at a special frequency.

The ability to contain such a high concentration of White Bone Particles while maintaining stability was a testament to Wizard Yi Si’s monstrous level of control.

If anyone were to be touched by it, even a fellow Extreme Wizard Apprentice, their physical body would be utterly destroyed, transforming into white bone.

”Damn it, he’s still not using his full power!” A Wizard from the Bailin Clan had a look of despair on his face. They had already used most of their Power.

”Quick, use the Combined Witchcraft! We have to survive this guy! I refuse to let my Wizard Path end here!” the older Wizard beside him roared as the Particle Energy within his body surged violently forth.

To ensure absolute fairness, the Battlefield contained no natural particle energy. Once a Wizard’s internal Particle Energy was depleted, it could not be replenished.

The four of them simultaneously unleashed their respective offensive Witchcraft, attempting to destroy the giant bone hand. The resulting torrent of fire, wind, and Ice drew the attention of many onlookers, some of whom hoped it would put more pressure on Wizard Yi Si.

’Witchcraft of that caliber has already reached the level of an Extreme Wizard Apprentice. Surely, they won’t be defeated so quickly...’ they thought to themselves.

’It’s over.’ Wang Ya had already determined the outcome. He could see far more than the other Wizards—more than even the Extreme Wizard Apprentices could compare to.

The disparity between the two sides was too obvious. According to the various data points, Wizard Yi Si’s Biological Energy and Particle Energy had barely fluctuated at all.

In contrast, the other side’s Particle Energy had dropped by more than seventy percent, and their Biological Energy was also plummeting.

The radiative waves from the White Bone Particle Energy were affecting their physical bodies; the less Particle Energy they had inside them, the stronger this subtle corrosion became.

The final result would be transformation into a white, bony statue.

Wang Ya could confirm that lesions had already begun to form inside the bodies of the four clan Wizards, a malignant transformation.

The fine, blue luster in his pupils slowly faded. He had collected the data he wanted.

At the same time, a hint of delight surfaced in his eyes. The harvest this time was truly immense.

Just Gusai Wizard’s explanation on the balance between illusion and reality was enough to save him a great deal of time.

Then there was the deathmatch between an Extreme Wizard Apprentice and four Level 3 Wizard Apprentices. The latter, in particular, had been fighting for their lives, and the wealth of information gathered from it far exceeded Wang Ya’s expectations.

After some reflection, Wang Ya had a much clearer understanding of his future Wizard Path.

The advancement of his Vast Sea Meditation Method, mastering Middle-tier Witchcraft Knowledge, pursuing the Extraordinary Extraordinary Discipline, the yet-to-be-finalized Witchcraft modification project... Then there was the research on Gundas’ Dog, and the ’Source of Life’ and ’Core of Death’ projects... Wang Ya’s schedule was packed, and he was extremely busy.

With Wizard Kelan’s support for his resource management plan, he temporarily didn’t need to develop an Extraordinary Race. Forging Harak into a powerful combat force was the main priority.

As the deathmatch concluded, Wang Ya left the Battlefield alongside Gusai Wizard.

The result was just as he had expected. On that battlefield, four white bone statues were left behind, a permanent fixture...
