Now he needs more powerful strength.
In this war to seize the royal capital, he was able to defeat the cardinal mainly with the help of external forces. If he had relied solely on his own strength, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of the opponent.
This is not a good thing. No matter how much preparation you make, there will always be times when you miscalculate. Your own strength is the fundamental guarantee.
Lynn turned down the dean's business and brought Kevin and others to the Howling Tower, which is the most core area of the entire Yieta Harbor!
Previously used by Helram to set up the Soul-Devouring Formation that covered the entire southern city area, now after being transformed, the Howling Tower has become a place to store important supplies.
On the last underground layer, where a large number of magic crystals are stored, the great alchemist Dennis is concentrating on drawing a huge alchemical array.
This is the alchemical array [Elemental Vision] used to assist formal wizards in breaking through to become great wizards. It can provide an environment with abundant magical power and allow people inside to briefly enter the elemental world that only great wizards can see.
The person who created this formation is [Element Master] Artok. Before this, to break through to the Great Wizard, one needed to take a powerful potion [Cynthia's Moonlight], which could increase the drinker's mental power limit within an hour, allowing a three-ring wizard to surpass his own limits.
However, since this potion has strong side effects and a failed breakthrough will increase the risk of mental breakdown, it was banned seventy years ago.
Dennis explained to Lin En very solemnly the things to pay attention to when breaking through the great wizard. Generally speaking, both the alchemy array and the magic potion are only auxiliary means.
There is no shortcut to becoming a great wizard, otherwise there would not be only thirty great wizards among the thousands of official wizards in the entire wizarding land.
Lin En listened very seriously. Being confident is one thing, but it does not mean being reckless.
"Let's start!" Lin En took a deep breath, adjusted his state to perfection, and then walked to the center of the alchemy formation.
hum...
A slight, magical sound suddenly rang out, and the alchemical patterns on the ground were illuminated. Soon, the entire bottom floor of the Howling Tower was shrouded in blue fluorescence.
"Come to think of it, Mr. Lin should be only around twenty years old this year, right?" Dennis suddenly asked.
"This... I don't know either, but two years ago, when Dean Lin En first came here, he should have been less than 20 years old." Kevin paused and said hesitantly.
"If we can succeed in breaking through this time, it will be a new record!" Dennis said with emotion. A great wizard who is less than 22 years old, this cannot be described as a genius.
Previously, this record had always been held by August, but this magic star has been proven to be a fraud, so naturally it cannot be counted.
When he broke through to become a great wizard, he was already over 40 years old, and even that was considered fast...
As the alchemy array operated, massive amounts of magic power were drawn from the magic crystal stone and continuously gathered to the center of the array, with no intention of stopping.
Seeing this, Dennis couldn't help but frown.
"Master, is there any problem?" Kevin asked hurriedly. The wizards of the school gathered in the Howling Tower also had nervous expressions on their faces.
"It actually requires so much magic power..." Dennis muttered to himself. Now it was not him who was controlling the formation, but Lin En who was at the center of the formation. However, the one hundred magic crystals prepared earlier had been drained, but the formation still showed no sign of stopping.
Chapter 299: Constructing the Domain and the Sea of Elements!
"Go get some more magic crystals!" Dennis said solemnly.
Kevin hurriedly did as he was told, and together with a dozen wizards from the school, they moved boxes of magic crystals as quickly as possible, and placed them in the core areas of the magic circle according to Dennis's instructions, and then continued to ask.
"Master, what is going on? Is there something wrong with this promotion ceremony?"
Seeing the concentration of magic power in the center of the magic circle rising sharply, even Kevin, who was not very good at alchemy, noticed something was wrong.
"Logically speaking, we shouldn't need so much magic power. Over the past seventy years, more than ten great wizards have completed their promotions through the [Elemental Vision]. Even if they failed in the past, this situation has never occurred..." Dennis was also confused. After pondering for a long time, he spoke again.
"However, there are still too few relevant examples. Everyone's talents, strengths, and areas of expertise are different, and there is no guarantee that my predictions are correct. All we can do now is wait."
Kevin looked at the figure in the center of the alchemy circle with great worry. He had no choice but to secretly hope that everything would go well.
At the same time, Lin En, who was being talked about by Kevin, devoted himself to the control of the alchemy array. A huge amount of magic power was constantly pouring into his body, and his mental strength seemed to have been greatly enhanced under the effect of the array.
Originally, his mental power could only cover about three meters around his body and control the elements within this range. Now, with the influence of the alchemy array, it has been expanded more than ten times.
The key to becoming a great wizard lies in two points. The first is to achieve a breakthrough in mental power, and the second is to construct a small domain.
Within this area, all elements are made up of magic power, and great wizards can easily manipulate and transform them, and even vacuum an area with just a wave of their hands.
This also makes the great wizard have extremely strong suppressive power over the formal wizards.
Because all elements within the field are under the control of the former, this means that the opponent will not be able to directly call on any elements in the air as assistance, but danger may come from anywhere within the field.
Lin En tried to continuously shrink the coverage of his mental power, from covering the entire alchemy array, to twenty meters, eighteen meters, fifteen meters away from the body...
The various elements in the air became clearer under his perception. Although he could not see their appearance directly, it became much easier to control them than before.
When the coverage of the mental power reached twelve meters around the body, Lin En felt it was almost enough and stopped, then put his mind into the vast space of consciousness.
Everything here is dark and empty.
But in this empty space, there are faint spots of light, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky - each spot of light represents a spell slot.
This is the prototype of the wizard's construction of the domain, or the essence of the domain is the external projection of the consciousness space...
Now he needs to construct his own sea of elements, use it to replace the elements of the outside world, and then stabilize the entire domain, so that he can complete the most important step in becoming a great wizard.
Lin En's mind moved, and two spots of light emerged in the empty space of consciousness. These were the hydrogen and oxygen elements!
These were the two elements that Lin En had come into contact with and used the most since he crossed over. Next to them were nitrogen, phosphorus, fluorine, helium... More and more elements appeared in the consciousness space, constantly replicating like tissue cells, and soon filled every corner of the consciousness space...
After condensing dozens of basic elements, the next step is metal elements such as copper, iron, and aluminum...
This was also the first time that Lin En converted magic power into metal elements without the help of an intelligent brain. This process was particularly difficult and took nearly ten times the time to generate other elements.
Fortunately, Lin En had already recorded these metal elements using the [Advanced Material Deconstruction Technique] before, so after some effort, he was finally able to mimic and create nine common metal elements.
At this moment, the Sea of Elements has been formed, with a total of forty-nine elements displayed on it.
They are all treasures of the magical world and the result of countless wizards' exploration of the natural world. However, Lin En is not ready to end there.
Taking advantage of the dual blessings of promotion and the alchemy formation under his feet, Lin En wanted to try whether he could further improve the Sea of Elements.
The prerequisite for a wizard to control and mimic an element is to use [Matter Deconstruction] to thoroughly analyze the element. What about the reverse?
After knowing the model of an element, is it possible to skip the process of finding and analyzing this element and directly use magic mimicry?
This is undoubtedly a crazy idea...
If it were possible, theoretically he could create any element on the periodic table!
By then, let alone making a nuclear bomb with bare hands, it would be no problem to even make an antimatter bomb.
Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't wait to start the experiment, and the target he chose was the element [Plutonium (bu)]!
This is a radioactive element and an important raw material for the atomic energy industry. It can be used as nuclear fuel and a fission agent for nuclear weapons. It is extremely rare in nature, and very small amounts of plutonium usually need to be separated from uranium ore.
Lin En directly extracted the Federation's research data on the element [Plutonium] from the intelligent brain, and used magic power based on this to try to replicate it.
"The number of electrons and protons in the nucleus of the element [Plutonium] is 94, the number of neutrons is 145, and the relative atomic mass is..."
Lin En whispered softly, and dots of magical light flickered in the space of consciousness. A new element was gradually taking shape.
Everything that happened in the consciousness space was also projected into the area that was constantly being consolidated. A large amount of magic power was constantly being consumed and transformed into various elements.
Dennis finally understood why the consumption of magic crystals was so terrifying. Generally speaking, the initially formed domain is only about five meters, but the prototype of the domain constructed by Lin En has exceeded ten meters.
Not only that, the other party also constructed forty-nine elements in one go to enrich the Sea of Elements. Is this a plan to accomplish it in one go?
How reckless. The most important thing now is to stabilize the domain and complete the promotion. Building the Sea of Elements can be done slowly!
Dennis shook his head, then his expression suddenly froze, his eyes looking vertically towards the center of the alchemy circle. He could feel a new force gradually forming, and he spoke in astonishment.
"This is... a new element?!"
Chapter 300 He is creating a new element!
Dennis couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on Lin En who was in the center of the magic circle. A new element was gradually forming on the other's outstretched right hand.
It is so tiny that it is invisible to the naked eye, but it is particularly clear when perceived.
Dennis was absolutely certain that this was definitely not any element he knew, nor did it even belong to any known type of element.
This is because from the moment this element appeared, it has been continuously emitting some kind of strange power.
Thinking of this, Dennis couldn't help but get excited.
What are elements?
According to the magic theory of the wizarding land, elements are the core of everything and the basis of all existence!
And how many kinds of elements are there?
Any wizard who has systematically studied elemental science can answer these questions. There are forty-nine of them in total!
In order to find these elements, they searched through everything they could find in the wizarding land, decomposed them one by one using [Material Deconstruction], and then classified and summarized them.
These forty-nine elements are the answer. Some wizards of the elemental school even assert that there may no longer be more elements in this world. They have already laid the foundation of elemental science, and the rest of the people are only responsible for adding bricks and tiles and creating corresponding magic on this basis.
Dennis naturally scoffed at this statement.
Especially after calculating the area of this Eternal Star through experiments, Dennis was shocked to realize that the world is so vast and there must be many unknown new elements that they have not found yet.
However, no new elements have been discovered in the entire magical world for nearly thirty years. It is for this reason that [Element Master] Artok places his hopes on a more microscopic world.
And now, a new element appeared in front of him, which might even be a completely new type of element. How could Dennis not be excited?
This is huge news for all wizards who are proficient in elemental science!
If Lin En had not been in the process of a breakthrough and the alchemy array had not stopped, Dennis would have wanted to rush in immediately to find out what this new element was all about.
Just as Dennis was waiting anxiously, the alchemy array that had been running smoothly suddenly became chaotic. The core of this instability came from the new element in Lin's hand.
"Stop!" Dennis's face suddenly changed. For a moment he no longer cared about any new elements and shouted hurriedly.
However, before he finished his words, a huge elemental force erupted, and the huge magic power bound in the magic circle instantly went out of control, forming a powerful elemental storm that swept away everything around it.
The entire alchemy array shattered with a loud bang, and the elemental storm hit the surrounding bricks and stones, blasting them to pieces...
Kevin and others who were very close staggered and were nearly caught in the elemental storm. After they finally stood firm, they all looked horrified.
Could it be that the breakthrough failed?
Kevin thought worriedly.
After the elemental storm dissipated, Lin En's figure soon appeared in front of everyone. Apart from being a little dusty, he seemed to be fine. However, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing Lin En's frown, Kevin immediately understood, a look of regret appeared on his face, and he stepped forward with a sigh to comfort him. "Dean Lin En, breaking through the Great Wizard is not an easy task. You still have a lot of time, and a temporary failure is nothing."
