Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 98: Clear Goals, Clear Mindset

Chapter 99: Clear Goals, Clear Mindset

Leaving Hyde's house.

Ian's feelings were completely different now.

If he had been somewhat relaxed before, he now felt that his time was extremely limited.

It could even be said that every minute felt incredibly precious.

"You must break through to the third-tier wizard apprentice level within seven months!"

Ian's gaze was resolute.

As he walked, he pondered what conditions were needed to break through to the third-level wizard level.

The first, naturally, is the complete condensation of the runes.

The Wind Rune and Tide Rune have been successfully formed.

His Keystone Runes were at progress level 15 before he left the school, but a month later, he had leveled them up to 25 at the mines.

There is still nearly 75% progress.

Previously, even with all his resources and other stats maxed out, he could only reach 20 per month. Even with all his resources maxed out, he could only increase it to 25 at most.

That will take three months.

But he also has a Forge Rune.

Ian's lips twitched; this was absolutely impossible.

"No, it's not impossible."

Ian's eyes flickered.

He currently has 500 talent points. If he can increase them to 600 points, he can upgrade his talent to first-class talent.

"Given the change from third to second grade, there might be a great chance."

Ian's gaze suddenly turned serious.

But in four or five months, he raised his talent to 600?

Open the panel—Skills.

[Skills: Zero Ring Lower Grade: Glimmering Eye (Master Level), Guiding (Master Level), Wind Pulling (Master Level), Lionheart Knight's Magic (Expert 150/400)...]

Intermediate Level Zero Ring: Elemental Meridians (Master Level), Wind Pressure (Master Level), Water Curtain Barrier (Master Level), Water Serpent Bite (Master Level), Tornado Impact (Master Level), Chain Wind Blades (Master Level), Eye of Radiance (Expert 200/400), Spiritual Guidance (200/400), Four Elements Resonance Meditation (Mastery 200/300), Lionheart Knight Technique (Grand Knight Chapter - Expert 230/400)...

Looking at the last four skills on the panel.

Leaving aside meditation, the other three are actually very close to master level.

He could probably reach the Master level with the Eye of Radiance and Spiritual Guidance in a month and a half at most.

The same applies to the Lionheart Knight's method; as long as there is cat blood that meets the requirements, he feels that it can be done in as little as half a month.

And these three areas of knowledge.

The improvement in talent will definitely be significant.

For example, the Eye of Radiance.

His weakened version, Glimmering Eye, has a talent value increased by 10 points, but based on his learning, Glimmering Eye is at least twice as difficult.

It's at least 15, and there's a high probability it can increase your talent value by 20 points.

Including spiritual guidance, that's at least 30 to 40 points. The same goes for the Lionheart Knight technique, which is at least 15 or 20 points.

This makes it quite possible to reach 60.

As for the remaining forty.

Two or three months.

Learning witchcraft is difficult, but you can choose to study pharmacology.

Given enough resources, he could even produce one perfect-grade potion per month.

Therefore, it is theoretically entirely possible.

Based on this calculation, it is entirely possible for him to raise his talent to 600 points within six months, reaching the level of a first-class talent.

"Then all that's missing is Deep Blue No. 1 potion."

Ian fell into deep thought.

This medicine is the key to breaking through from level two to level three.

The fact that Lucien was willing to betray his school to get this potion shows how important it is.

"I wonder if the school of thought has been exchanged?"

With that in mind, Ian headed toward the castle, where he happened to run into Hoven again, who enthusiastically pulled him into the room.

"Sir, is this the exchange price for Deep Blue Potion No. 1?"

Ian took the crystal and sensed it with his mental power. His eyes widened immediately because the potion cost a whopping two thousand contribution points.

"Two thousand contribution points? That's expensive?"

Ian's eyes widened.

Wasn't it said to be worth only a few hundred magic stones?

Seemingly noticing the doubt in Ian's eyes, Huo Wen said, "Sir, Deep Blue No. 1 was purchased from an outside academy, but as you know, the war with the Blackrock School has made many goods difficult to acquire, including passageways. Therefore, the price of Deep Blue No. 1 has skyrocketed."

"clear!"

Ian nodded.

Browsing the list, it was quickly discovered that not only Deep Blue No. 1, but the prices of almost all resources had increased.

This is especially true for resources from outside the Emerald Forest.

But this is troublesome for Ian!

He currently only has five or six hundred contribution points, which is because he received a reward in this mining incident.

However, these contribution points are only enough to sustain Ian's next plan, which is to focus all his efforts on improving his mental strength.

It might not even be enough, let alone enough to buy Deep Blue No. 1 potion.

What's really annoying about contribution points is that they can only be earned by contributing to a school of thought; he can't even exchange them for magic stones.

Even the transfer and trading of contribution points are severely punished. Once discovered, not only will all of them be deducted, but the offender will also be subject to a huge fine.

Thinking about this, Ian also felt a toothache.

"Sir, if you are short of contribution points, there should be many high-value tasks in your department."

Huo Wen asked curiously, "Yes, there is, but..."

"

Ian shook his head instinctively.

Recently, with Doug's return and increased power, especially in terms of the authority to assign tasks, he has gained considerable influence.

Therefore, the high-value tasks are almost all on Doug's side.

Ian's contribution points are relatively low.

Of course, there are also tasks that contribute a lot of points, but these are all very difficult tasks, such as preparing targeted medicines and antidotes for enemy forces, etc.

All of them are...

"Wait a minute, these all seem like tasks I can try!"

Ian was suddenly taken aback.

Is his potion-making skill bad? Not at all! In fact, you could say it's excellent!

He has reached the master level in almost all the mainstream potions of the school of thought. What is the master level? It is a level that most wizards will never be able to reach in their entire lives.

It's on a completely different level.

Therefore, it may seem that Ian only knows a few potions, but in terms of understanding potions alone...

He was confident that, at least in the field of potions as he understood them, he could hardly be defeated by Vivian or Doug.

Similarly, these seemingly difficult medicines are entirely manageable for him.

The reason he subconsciously ignores these tasks is...

Besides being busy improving his mental strength, there was also inertia; it seemed that his mindset was still stuck on how he had helped Vivian to produce the antidote.

But that was because he was weak at the time.

However, now, he has almost reached the expert level, nearly the master level, in the lineage of pharmacists in the school.

His strength also surpassed that of most of the school's second-class wizard apprentices.

"I am not the same person I used to be."

Ian's eyes flickered.

At that moment, he felt as if he had broken free from some kind of constraint.

In the past, he was still trapped in the fact that he was a weak and poorly talented wizard, but now, at least in the Horton School of Wizardry, he has surpassed most wizards in every aspect except strength.

It turned out to be the case.

"Thank you, Huo Wen."

Ian said earnestly to Huo Wen.

If it weren't for Huo Wen, he wouldn't have realized this problem.

"Not at all, sir, you've always been outstanding." Huo Wen shook his head.

Suddenly, Ian became curious about Huo Wen in front of him and asked, "Speaking of which, my reputation outside is just so-so, why are you so enthusiastic towards me?"

Huo Wen sat up straight and said, "My lord, I have ulterior motives for attaching myself to wizards with potential like you. If you rise to prominence in the future, I might be able to benefit from it. And don't laugh at me, but I treat every wizard the same way because I have limited vision and knowledge, so I can only rely on quantity."

Huo Wen smiled broadly.

Ian smiled too.

What a wonderful person.

"Then I wish you success!"

Ian smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and got up to leave.

"Take care, feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

Huo Wen hurriedly said from behind, then saw Ian out of the castle before returning.

They continue to search for the next possible opportunity.
