The Wizard's Pursuit of Truth

Inside the Witchcraft Laboratory.

Wang Ya opened his palm, and the Fear-Burning Fire gradually appeared. It wasn’t the later, formless flame, but the initial, pale yellow one.

The surrounding temperature gradually rose, and a glimmer flashed in Wang Ya’s eyes. The essence of the Energy Flame was its composition of active Fire Elemental Particles. They collided violently, causing the Fear-Burning Fire to detonate with even greater power.

The pale yellow flame gradually became invisible, leaving only a blurry distortion in the air—an optical effect caused by the high temperature. In essence, the Fear-Burning Fire was still there.

In this state, the Fear-Burning Fire no longer relied on the concussive power of its detonations. Instead, it was highly dispersive, capable of spreading the flames rapidly over a much wider area.

An image surfaced in his mind: the moment he subjugated the Blood-sucking King Vine, when the formless flames instantly engulfed an entire human city.

That was the impact force generated by the collision of Fire Elemental Particles, which allowed the Energy Flame to spread and propagate so quickly.

HSSSS!

The Flame Demon Domain unfurled, and the temperature throughout the entire laboratory began to rise.

”Warning: Laboratory temperature is excessively high. High energy reaction detected. The presiding Wizard is advised to take immediate action.”

With a single thought, Wang Ya dismissed the warning from the Tower Spirit.

At the same time, the Energy Flame in Wang Ya’s palm changed once again.

With a soft POOF, it extinguished instantly.

When it ignited again, it was already in a region high above, within the bounds of the Flame Demon Domain.

Using his Biological Force Field, he could make it burn anywhere within that range, as his Fire Element Particle Energy was present throughout the entire domain.

If the environment was in an area with high active energy, it would bolster the Flame Demon Domain, enhancing its duration and power.

’The principle behind this is likely the ripple-like diffusion of Fire Element Particle Energy.’

Collision, impact, and diffusion. Based on these three principles, Wang Ya had given the Fear-Burning Fire different physical properties.

Even the Flame Demon Witchcraft School couldn’t escape these three principles.

But Wang Ya had discovered a fourth principle in the High-tier Witchcraft, ’Fury of Hephaestus’.

It was the ’Melt Base’ principle. This terrifying Witchcraft blended the previous three principles, compressing and internalizing all Fire Element Particle Energy to its absolute limit, infusing it with all available energy, only to then unleash it in a single, explosive instant.

It was far more terrifying and extreme than Flame Demon Roar.

It was an all-or-nothing Witchcraft. If Wang Ya were to unleash all the Particle Energy in his body, the power of this High-tier Witchcraft might just surpass any limit he had ever known.

Wang Ya’s insight was now incredibly sharp; he could tell at a glance that this was a purely offensive Witchcraft derived from Flame Demon Roar Witchcraft.

No wonder the Rhine inheritance didn’t alter the three-second time limit. There was a specific reason, perhaps related to the Special Particle Energy of a Rhein Wizard.

However, the path Wang Ya chose was precisely to alter that three-second limit.

From this moment on, they were two different paths of Witchcraft.

A Flame Demon Witchcraft School unique to Wang Ya alone.

Wang Ya was also beginning to understand how he should go about modifying and creating his own High-tier Witchcraft.

「One month later.」

「Land of Inheritance.」

”Greetings, Heritage Wizard.”

Wang Ya bowed slightly. The old man remained seated in his usual spot, seemingly oblivious to Wang Ya’s arrival as if lost in thought.

Wang Ya didn’t linger and entered the Heritage Maze.

’High-tier Extraordinary Knowledge... Fire Element Wizard... Active Particle Energy...’

The familiar, parallel rows of bookshelves appeared before him, stretching out of sight.

Wang Ya pulled a Witch Book from a shelf in front of him. As he opened it, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile.

’This is what I need.’

After marking it, he began to select the other Witch Books he needed.

His Dark Points were meant to be used, to be converted into his own personal foundation.

At Wang Ya’s current level, his mastery of Advanced Extraordinary Knowledge was far from complete, but it was time to begin his pursuit of High-tier Extraordinary Knowledge.

The creation of High-tier Witchcraft also required this foundational knowledge to be perfected.

「Three hours later.」

[Dynamics of High-tier Particle Energy Activity], [An Overview of Basal Ignition for Wizards], [The Detailed Essence of Fire Element Witchcraft]... [High-tier Energy Hierarchies]

Wang Ya emerged from the Heritage Maze with a complicated smile on his face.

He was happy because everything he found was very useful and could support the creation and modification of his High-tier Witchcraft.

He had spent a total of [4,000] Dark Points, a terrifying number, especially after the discount from his authority as a Child of the Dark.

At this moment, Wang Ya was both pained and overjoyed.

The Heritage Wizard seemed to be in a daze, still in the exact same position.

Wang Ya gave a slight bow, performed the Wizard Etiquette, and then departed via the teleportation Witch Array.

”What an interesting little fellow. To improve so quickly... I’m afraid he might even be a match for that little girl from the Dark Tower.” The Heritage Wizard’s lips moved, his solitary voice echoing in the space.

He had been here for a very, very long time. So long that many had forgotten his name.

He was content with this; a name was merely a designation.

Perhaps the only thing he found interesting anymore was watching the newcomers enter the Land of Inheritance and witnessing their growth.

...

After returning to the Illusory Dream Tower, Wang Ya continued his research on Elemental Witchcraft.

This time, he was determined to make a quantum leap in his Power.

This applied to his Witchcraft, his Spiritual Power, and his physical stats.
