The Wizard's Pursuit of Truth

This was the Biological Force Field’s response to external magnetic and biological fields, and also its influence upon them.

While in his Flame Demon Doppelganger state, Wang Ya could enhance his Biological Force Field to manipulate external temperature differences and light refraction, directly deceiving the five senses.

It was very subtle and involved no Spiritual Power or Particle Energy, meaning it could play a decisive role at a critical moment.

Even the most cautious of Wizards would likely be unable to guard against it.

Sometimes, a minor influence on one’s visual perception could decide the outcome of a battle.

Wang Ya named it the Gaze of the Flame Demon.

It was a special form of Witchcraft, not included in the standard Witchcraft Levels. Its effectiveness was determined by the strength of the Wizard’s Biological Force Field.

In other words, the greater a Wizard’s Power, the wider its area of effect.

’It’s time to wrap this up. The final fifteen days are for mental adjustments and devising tactics based on the unique aspects of the Secret Realm.’

Wang Ya extended a long, fair finger and pointed gently at the Mountain Bear. The next instant, the moisture in the air evaporated, and an invisible flame was already incinerating its body.

It didn’t even have time to cry out before it was reduced to a pile of charcoal.

He was no longer restricted to using his hands to cast the Fear-Burning Fire. After further refinement, while in his Flame Demon Doppelganger state, Wang Ya could distribute high-frequency Fire Elemental Particle Energy within a fifty-meter radius around himself.

The temperature differential he could affect was also within this radius. Any enemy inside this range was constantly subject to attack from the Fear-Burning Fire.

This was the source of his unlimited Witchcraft casting.

It could perhaps be considered a passive Witchcraft for the Flame Demon Doppelganger: the Flame Demon Domain.

The fine flecks of blue light in Wang Ya’s pupils gradually faded away.

Compared to two and a half years ago, his Power had undergone a qualitative leap.

......

The two Small Secret Realms for the competition were ’Heaven-Filling Fire’ and ’Erosion Forest’.

The next day, Wang Ya arrived early on the second floor of the Dark Library. The main hall was filled with the usual administrative Wizards, who were organizing and maintaining the books. A familiar figure sat calmly in a chair at a desk, studying a book titled ’History of the Romandix Empire’.

Wang Ya knew a little about it. It was supposedly a lost civilization located at the bottom of the sea. But while that was the official story, the truth was that the Ancient Wizards had personally acted to erase this civilization from the Wizard World.

The issue involved conflicts of interest. Despite being part of the Wizard World, they had allied with people from other worlds, intending to become traitors. They wanted to break away from the Wizard World and become lords of their own Little World.

So, the Ancient Wizards granted this underwater Extraordinary Empire a ’dignified’ end.

Slate Wizard looked up at the approaching Wang Ya and chuckled. ”You’re here, young man. It seems you’ve come with questions this time.”

After more than two years of acquaintance, the two had grown quite familiar with each other, to the point they could even be considered fellow book lovers.

Slate, in particular, was pleasantly surprised. He found Wang Ya’s knowledge of the books’ contents to be astonishingly broad; he could comment on almost any topic. He might not have been an expert, but in such a short period, he could already converse with him intelligently. Given enough time, Slate was certain he would soon catch up.

On more than one occasion, Slate had suggested that Wang Ya join his team to work on an unprecedented, great creation.

”It’s a shame,” Slate said, setting down his book with a smile. ”I feel this great work should bear both our names. With your help, I could certainly finish it much faster.” He pointed to the ninth section of the rotating bookshelf. ”The answers you’re looking for are over there. Of course, that’s part of the Inner Zone, so you’ll need to pay a fee in Magic Stones.”

Watching Wang Ya’s back as he diligently searched through the ninth section, Slate’s eyes filled with admiration. ’What an exceptional young man. So exceptional that I sometimes feel as if I’m talking to a Wizard on my own level.’

’Not someone separated by one or two hundred years and a massive generational gap. At his age, I certainly didn’t have such clear goals or such a thorough understanding of my own Wizard Path.’

’At the same age, I was still lost, discouraged by the future and the enormous gap between myself and the new generation from the Wizard Clans.’
