Chapter 139: Breakthrough

“Warning! 60% of cells entering an unknown state. Genetic structure changing, outcome unknown.”

…

After drinking another Amanda Potion, Helag’s advancement continued.

He noticed his spirit power was also changing.

“Spirit power: 25.2.”

“Spirit power: 27.3.”

…

“Spirit power: 34.7.”

His spirit power rapidly increased, changing every second.

“Warning! 90% of cells entering an unknown state. Genetic structure changing, outcome unknown.”

“Spirit power: 41.2.”

At this level, his spirit power stabilized, with only minor fluctuations.

Helag checked his body stats and felt it was the perfect time. He gave the command.

“Deep Blue, start constructing the Great Dark Heaven spell model.”

Larry had planned to help Helag prepare a first-level spell, but Helag claimed he had acquired one during his travels.

Larry didn’t question further, and Moonlight Forest assumed Larry provided the spell.

“Task registered and executing. Estimated time: 3 hours 2 minutes. Estimated mana consumption: 70%.”

With spirit power over 40, Deep Blue’s calculation speed increased exponentially, making spell model construction much faster.

The Great Dark Heaven spell was complex, far beyond zero-level spells, but now it only took three hours, a significant speed increase.

Helag didn’t let Deep Blue handle everything; he also participated in constructing the spell model.

They worked together, each handling different modules to speed up the process.

Constructing the spell model was the most critical part of the advancement, determining success or failure.

Any mistake could lead to failure and unstable spirit power, potentially causing brain damage.

Helag chose the complex Great Dark Heaven spell for higher potential, relying on Deep Blue for assistance.

Originally estimated at 3 hours 2 minutes, their combined effort reduced the time to two hours.

Helag’s extensive study of the spell model paid off, familiar with every structure, parameter, and formula.

The meditation room was silent. Outside, Larry sipped coffee, lost in thought.

Two hours later.

In Helag’s mind, a massive, complex spell model was complete.

At that moment, a phantom of the ancient stone tablet appeared in his mind.

Recognizing it as the tablet recording Great Dark Heaven, Helag felt a mysterious power flow from it, permeating his body.

Energy particles flooded into him, rapidly enhancing his stats.

Simultaneously, information from the tablet entered his mind.

Helag realized how ancient people passed down Great Dark Heaven through bloodline rather than spell models.

By dripping blood on the tablet, they gained the ability to devour other bloodlines to strengthen themselves.

Helag now understood how to use this ability, feeling it as a natural instinct.

“100% of cells’ genetic structure change complete. Analyzing results.”

“Cell structure: Estimated division count 300+.”

Helag saw that while the basic cell structure remained, red energy attached to the nuclei.

This energy wasn’t mana or any known energy type.

“Could it be bloodline power?” Helag wondered.

“Helag Merlin: Strength 13.3, Agility 12.5, Constitution 15.7, Spirit 42.2, Mana 20%.”

With his body stabilized, Helag checked his stats.

Strength, agility, and constitution had significantly increased, and his spirit power reached 42.2, a substantial boost.

“No wonder formal wizards are so much stronger than apprentices. My spirit power alone is on a different level.”

Helag took a deep breath, adjusting to his new state.

Facing Malcolm before, he could only run, never getting a chance to attack.

Now, though still far from Malcolm’s level, he wouldn’t be as helpless.

“What’s this?”

While examining his changes, Helag noticed white mist-like gas in his mind.

“Is this spirit power vaporization?”

Helag knew first-level wizards had three stages: vaporization, liquefaction, and crystallization.

As an apprentice, wizards couldn’t see their spirit power.

The stars and array in Helag’s mind were meditation imagery, not spirit power.

Different meditation methods had various imagery forms.

After advancing, spirit power appeared as white mist in the mind.

The first stage for formal wizards was to fill their mind with this mist.

Different wizards had varying capacities, influenced by their meditation methods.

Helag didn’t know if his mind was large, but it seemed bigger than average.

Once the mind was filled with mist, the second stage began: condensing the mist into a drop of water.

Completing this process marked the liquefaction stage.

After liquefaction, wizards filled their minds with liquid spirit power.

“Does that mean my brain will be full of water?” Helag mused.

After filling the mind with liquid spirit power, the final stage was condensing it into a crystal, becoming a crystallized wizard.

Dino and Malcolm were crystallized wizards Helag had met. Larry, younger, was still in the liquefaction stage but close to crystallization.
