Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 730

Chapter 727 Obtaining the First Ancient Creature’s Second-Ring Bloodline!

Georgina the Witch fell from the Silent Throne, her magic pressure dropping back to 9999. She looked up at the scene above the Silent Throne with resentment.

At this moment, she had lost the right to step onto this stage.

She had meticulously planned, but ultimately failed. Despite the three major magical seals of New Textiles, she was actually defeated by her opponent with a single second-circle botanical spell, [Generational Change].

Seeing her third-place finish, Georgina the Witch felt a pang of doubt, beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with her.

Just then, a hand landed on her shoulder.

Georgina the Witch looked up at her leader, the Moon Ring Witch from Boniface University, who sighed.

“Georgina, you’ve done very well. Now, calm down and prepare to become a true second-circle wizard.”

“It’s not your fault you didn’t win this time. It’s because Quinnjoll and the two other contestants from Golden Crown Mountain, these two outsider wizards, are indeed above the average level of the Silent Grail participants.”

“With your skill level, you would have been a champion in the previous competition, but this time you only ranked third.”

The Moon Ring Witch whispered, “The moment when the Starfield Sea chose the [Ascension Plan] was chosen jointly by the great wizards of prophecy. This time point is the most auspicious moment for our Eastern Region in the last thousand years.”

“Therefore, in this millennium, countless geniuses will emerge from all the major wizarding lands. This time, you just encountered two exceptions. You’ve done very well. I don’t think anyone will blame you.”

“I just asked for you. Even His Majesty the Throne didn’t expect that someone could use an old, rarely used spell, [Generational Alternation], to directly evade our New Textile Science’s trap. His Majesty the Throne has a very high opinion of Locke Augustine, personally praising him as an excellent breeder.”

“His Majesty the Throne believes he won against you through his breeder’s skills and talent, and his profound understanding of botanical magic. If he were in the previous Silent Grail War, he probably would have easily won this match. What’s remarkable is that you’ve already posed a certain threat to him.”

The Moon Ring Witch said to Georgina Witch, “Don’t be too discouraged. You don’t necessarily have to win to gain others’ recognition.”

“You’ve already demonstrated the power of our New Textile Science.”

Georgina Witch heard this in astonishment, and many spectators in the arena applauded her.

According to the tradition of the Silent Grail, if a contestant is eliminated from the competition, but the audience feels that their performance still demonstrated the expected level of the competition and provided a dazzling display of Great Magic Modeling, then they will applaud their exit.

This is to thank the wizard for delivering a spectacular display of Great Magic Modeling. To

Georgina’s surprise, even though she lost, many wizards still applauded her, expressing their admiration.

Many wizard spectators whispered among themselves, discussing the competition and their takeaways, marveling at the power of Georgina’s new textile science and Locke Augustine’s astounding talent in breeding.

“This year’s Silent Grail War is definitely the highest quality ever. That Locke actually managed to evolve a magical plant that had never been recorded as a second-circle variety into a second-circle magical plant in such a short time!”

“However, I thought Georgina the Witch was going to win. I can’t even imagine how she’ll escape from that new textile magic combination!”

“Yeah. She’s too amazing. She managed to create four Great Magic Runes from 12,000 magic pressure. Moreover, the new textile magic system feels incredibly powerful. If she hadn’t encountered such a genius breeder this time, I don’t think she would have ranked third.”

“Hmm… Everyone can actually see her level. There’s no need to judge her solely by the competition results. This time, Bonifacius University’s demonstration of the new textile’s Great Magic to the entire Yunze Wetland was quite successful. After all, the hard criteria were there—12,000 magic pressure, possessing four Great Magic Runes, using four second-circle spells with Great Magic Runes in a short time, and the Destiny Weaving Machine hadn’t even collapsed…”

“Energy dissipation, energy compatibility, and instantaneous magic pressure amplification are all top-notch. I think many outstanding students will be vying to enter this new textile discipline.”

Georgina’s pupils narrowed slightly beneath her wooden witch mask. She hadn’t expected that even as the third-place winner, she would still receive such recognition. She

had still completed the task assigned to her by Bonifacius University.

At least, she had essentially completed it.

The Moon Ring Witch leader patted her on the shoulder and laughed, “After today, everyone will remember you, Georgina. You’re the witch with the wooden mask; everyone will remember you directly, not who your parents are.”

Georgina looked up at the sky, regretting, “Before Locke knocked me out of the Silent Plane, in order to use four Great Magic Runes within a short time to unleash a Great Magic spell with a Magic Pressure of 12,000, I had to spread the Torrent of Fate towards the Silent Plane to reduce the energy dissipation rate of my Fate Weaving Machine.”

“But in doing so, I might have accelerated Omega’s descent into that plane.”

“Looking back now, my actions were somewhat reckless. As a result, once my Great Magic left the Silent Plane, the entire Silent Plane would be completely locked down by Omega!”

The Moon Ring Witch casually said, “Your match is over. Don’t worry about it. The most important thing is that, based on previous years’ matches, by this point, Omega’s descent is unstoppable, and its power is increasing exponentially.”

“No contestant can survive.”

“So, at this stage, it’s usually a contest of whose ultimate magic can withstand the apocalypse summoned by Omega the longest. Therefore, your actions, even if they trigger the apocalypse an hour or two earlier, won’t have much impact.”

A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Moon Ring Witch leader.

“Back then, I perished in this apocalypse. An apocalypse of a medium-sized plane… even for a second-ring wizard, it’s terrifying! And this was an apocalypse brought down by Omega.”

“I still can’t understand why Omega descended so quickly. A normal disc-shaped creature wouldn’t descend into a plane so quickly, and it wouldn’t be so unstoppable from beginning to end.”

“It’s as if the plane’s barrier doesn’t exist for it. Perhaps that’s a special ability of that disc-shaped creature.”

A look of fear and unease flashed in the Moon Ring Witch’s eyes.

Not far away, Rush, the Sun Ring wizard leader of Quinnjoll, snorted coldly, his expression indifferent, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

“If I were to encounter something like this again now, it would be nothing more than the apocalypse brought down by some mere disc creatures…”

Wizard Chad raised an eyebrow, revealing a speechless expression.

“How can you expect to encounter things from your childhood again after you’ve grown up?”

To a Sun Ring Wizard, an ordinary Second Ring Wizard is like their child.

Leader Chad chuckled, “Even if Omega himself stood right in front of you now, he couldn’t do anything to you. But now it’s just Edgar and Locke left. Brother Rush, who do you think will win this time?”

Wizard Rush glared at Wizard Chad, wanting to say something, but then, thinking of Locke’s power of the Moon of Evolution, he felt a little guilty.

The Moon Cultivation Method was simply too powerful, so he couldn’t say for sure that Edgar would win.

So, he could only glare at Wizard Chad.

“Ten years have passed, and you’re only a Moon Ring Wizard. Back then, I thought your mind was too active, making it difficult for you to specialize in any particular research,”

Wizard Chad said, pursing his lips. “I’ve already tried my best. I work 24 hours a day!”

Wizard Rush seemed to have heard a joke. “What? You, a great wizard of the Moon Ring, only work 24 hours a day!”

“What a joke. No wonder it’s been ten years and I’m still only a Moon Ring wizard!”

“I use clones to do research for at least 72 hours a day! Research ultimately depends on talent, but it also depends on physical strength. Without physical strength and the ability to endure long hours, how do you publish papers, get projects, and earn titles!”

Wizard Rush looked at Wizard Chad with a “you’re too lazy” gaze.

Chad the Wizard was furious.

At that moment, the Moon Ring Witch looked at Georgina the Witch, who was listening with astonishment, and said, “You’ll soon be joining the Second Ring Club, so welcome to our Second Ring Club in advance. Welcome to a more realistic wizarding world.”

The Moon Ring Witch pulled Georgina the Witch to sit and rest in the audience area, glancing back towards the Silent Throne.

The Third Ring Throne wizard from Bonifacius University, after hearing her account of what had happened, had spoken highly of the breeder named Locke.

He also mentioned that

Locke’s powerful magic was deeply connected to a special breeder’s cultivation method. Judging from the situation at the time, the magical plants cultivated using that method should have received some kind of field advantage.

Otherwise, it was inexplicable why Locke still possessed enough magical power to resist the New Textile Trap and wasn’t eliminated immediately.

But this meant that a very special breeder genius had emerged from Golden Crown Mountain.

His talent and skill in the field of breeding would shine brightly in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands in the near future.

After all, Locke still had over four years left in his True Knowledge Academy at Mount Golden Crown. Even considering his early departure, he still had special funding and key sub-projects to secure.

These were, for a second-ring wizard, reasons to accept first-ring grants, since they were tied to his True Knowledge Academy status, not his first-ring status.

The second-ring world was so cruel that few wizards would choose not to take such special benefits reserved for first-ring wizards.

This meant that Bonifacius University might need to collaborate with Locke in the future.

The new textile science had fallen out with the Rose Council’s magic weavers, and numerous battles for academic standing were likely to follow.

Cultivating good relations with a breeding genius was essential,

as many new textile materials were extracted from magical plants.

Especially since it was rumored that the other party had clashed with some members of the Rose Council over wizard shoes. After all, the wizard shoe market had always been dominated by the Rose Council and its subordinate wizarding organizations.

The Moon Ring Witch gazed at the torrential rain in the Silent Plane’s image, a scene of collapse.

“I wonder who will win this time. His Majesty the Throne has given me the opportunity to meet Edgar. Edgar’s ability to cultivate the Perfect Tree Person shows he has considerable talent in breeding. It’s just that he has a bias and isn’t as good as the Augustine breeder.”

…

In the Silent Plane, torrential rain poured down, celestial rivers overflowed, the earth wailed, and countless cities were submerged.

This was the end of the world.

Locke and Edgar exchanged a glance across the sky. Now, only they remained, and only they were left.

At this very moment, celestial rivers also fell in the Dharma Realm.

The great flood was about to engulf the entire Silent Plane!

At the same time, the Perfect Tree Person suddenly activated the “Return of All Things to the Tree” spell against the great flood, concentrating a large amount of water at its roots.

This temporarily alleviated the damage of the great flood to this plane.

Simultaneously, a large amount of water vapor was transformed into magical tides, and leaves fell one by one. Then, Edgar activated the Life Spear Array!

Countless life spears attacked Omega’s blue light ring in the sky.

Omega let out a loud laugh. “The end is nigh!”

“Hahahaha… The world will be flooded…”

Edgar sneered. With the help of two assistants, he had already added a massive magic rune to his third spell, which was the second-circle upgraded version of [Twin Branches], [Twin Branches]!

[Twin Branches] allows a wizard to combine the effects of two botanical spells, making the use of one spell model equivalent to using two spell models simultaneously, with the effects of the two spell models completely superimposed.

He used [Twin Branches], combining [Life Piercing Slash] and [Life Spear Array], which resulted in every branch that the Perfect Treant broke off from its crown and shot out being not a first-circle Life Spear, but a second-circle Life Spear + Life Piercing Slash.

Hundreds of second-circle level spells pierced through Omega’s eerie blue light at once and attacked its ever-descending body.

The Perfect Treant continued its continuous attack.

Edgar’s exploit of this bug meant that if the massive magic itself wasn’t powerful enough, it would have been useless.

After all, no matter how powerful a spell infused with Great Magic Runes is, it still relies on its own Great Magic to function. Just like when Georgina the Witch used four Great Magic Rune spells in succession, bringing the Spinning Machine of Fate to the brink of destruction.

But at this moment, Edgar is using the mechanism of All Things Returning to the Tree, absorbing a large amount of floodwater, and continuously generating magical tides, allowing him to forcibly use this spell for a long time.

This caused such a powerful spell to transform into a giant sword shooting towards the horizon, existing for a considerable period of time.

Edgar could see it clearly. ‘This move is powerful, but the energy dissipation rate of the Perfect Treant is also increasing.’

‘If this continues, the Treant will collapse and rot. First, it will rot from the Imaginary Root, and then…’

‘Moreover, this move won’t deal with Locke. His Evolution Moon is a god of war in the civil war. I only attacked him to make him enlighten the Treant.’

Edgar looked at the disc-shaped creature in the horizon.

“Why did that disc-shaped creature descend so quickly? I’m so unwilling to accept this until I solve it!”

“Something must be wrong! First, I need to stop the monsters in the great flood from getting closer and try to hold on!”

At this moment, on the other side, Locke, also holding Sea Gold Sand, was surrounded by a large number of Dharma Realm Treants who came out to protect him.

Because the Dharma Realm Treants and the Sea Gold Sand in his hand had adapted to the Fallen Rain Realm, Locke was quite comfortable so far.

After all, due to environmental adaptation, the problem wasn’t too big.

It’s just…

he could adapt all the way, leisurely playing cards and poker with Omega in the Fallen Rain Realm, but he couldn’t do that in the Silent Plane!

This plane was already facing the end of the world!

Locke thought, “I can’t go on like this. If the world ends, what will become of me?”

“I should… wait…”

Locke felt a tremor, as if some bloodline within him was rapidly developing towards the second ring, and the advanced meditation technique in his sea of consciousness suddenly started running automatically, causing him to connect to the Natural Force Plane.

“It’s a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat… What happened? Did I accidentally collect all the requirements for a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat to advance to the second-ring level?!”
