Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 258 - 168: Talent Crystal Model (2)
Chapter 258: Chapter 168: Talent Crystal Model (2)
Although it only recorded how to create a micro and small soul crystal, it was already sufficient.
With the synthesis cube in hand, as long as there are enough micro soul crystals, he could even synthesize a legendary-level soul crystal.
Filled with joy, Sunan immediately went through the scriptures.
With his powerful spiritual power as support, he took less than half an hour to finish reading the entire book, frowning slightly in contemplation.
“Only a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice can extract and condense a soul crystal?”
This meant he would have to personally create the soul crystals himself.
After all, besides him, there were no other Level 3 Wizard Apprentices in the entire base now.
“There is no shortage of soul sources though, with numerous indigenous tribes and city-states surrounding the Star Alliance. A small-scale war to annihilate a tribe could produce at least dozens of soul crystals.”
“If it’s a war on the scale of annihilating Giant Eye City, producing hundreds of soul crystals would be no problem, and even a few small soul crystals might be made.”
A legendary-level soul could create one small soul crystal.
While not abundant, legendary-level beings were certainly not rare in the vast underground world.
“At least there won’t be a shortage of soul crystals in the future.”
Sunan’s brow relaxed, revealing a look of delight.
With enough soul crystals, he wouldn’t need to exhaust a large number of Stone Golems to synthesize Tier One and Tier Two Legendary Puppets, directly using Steel Golems to replace Elite Stone Golems, then using Steel Golems to synthesize Elite Steel Golems, replacing Advanced Stone Golems, greatly reducing costs.
After putting down the Space Ring of the deceased, Sunan happily opened the Space Ring of the Eternal Life Association.
There weren’t any unexpected gains from the Space Rings of Yujin and Stone Scorpion.
Yiluo’s Space Ring was similar, except there were some Wizard’s Scriptures on illusion techniques that piqued Sunan’s interest.
He took these scriptures out and set them aside to study when he had the time, then finally looked towards Saulo’s Space Ring.
“Being the founder of the Eternal Life Association, there ought to be quite a few good things.”
Upon opening the Space Ring, a joyful expression appeared on Sunan’s face at once.
Just as expected, Saulo’s Space Ring could be called a treasure trove.
Just by estimate, there were seventy to eighty thousand gold coins, and two to three thousand various gemstones, including some high-end ones.
These alone added up to over a hundred thousand gold coins in value!
In addition, there were numerous magic plants, rare metals, and various other materials.
There were also quite a few potions and soul crystals.
Sunan even found a medium soul crystal inside.
Who knows how many Legendary Knights Saulo had killed to gather enough souls to create this medium soul crystal.
Or perhaps they weren’t Legendary Knights, but the souls of Wizard Apprentices?
With a smile, Sunan gladly accepted the medium soul crystal.
After inventorying all the wealth and materials, there were over a hundred Wizard’s Scriptures left.
The Wizard’s Scriptures collected in Saulo’s Space Ring were naturally not ordinary goods.
After a rough counting, Sunan found quite a few scriptures he was interested in.
“No wonder he’s the founder of the Eternal Life Association, he has plenty of rare knowledge heritage.”
Sunan wore a smile on his face.
When he picked up the last scripture and saw the text on the cover, his eyes lit up even more.
“The Model Construction of Talent Crystal ’Killing Intent’”
Talent Crystal!
Sunan quickly opened the book and started reading it carefully.
The three major standards for advancing as a Wizard—stellar ring, spiritual power, and the most critical and important talent crystal!
When the number of constructed stellar rings and spiritual power meet the standards, a Wizard Apprentice faces the toughest hurdle of advancing to an Official Wizard—constructing the talent crystal model!
The talent crystal model is essentially an aggregation of runes.
The ability produced by the final talent crystal model varies based on different types and quantities of runes.
The talent crystal can be one of the most important means of combat for a Wizard, affecting the Wizard’s future growth potential and combat strength, its importance goes without saying.
Talant crystals can be classified into three levels from high to low.
If one wishes to break through to become a True Spirit Wizard in the future, at least a Middle-Level Talent Crystal is required.
Wizards with a Lower-Level Talent Crystal have a very slim chance of becoming a True Spirit Wizard.
In fact, even wizards with a Middle-Level Talent Crystal have less than a one percent chance of becoming a True Spirit Wizard.
Aiming to become a True Spirit Wizard is only something Wizards with an Upper-Level Talent Crystal have the qualification to do.
Saulo’s book specifically writes about the model construction method of a Lower-Level Talent Crystal called ’Killing Intent’.
Wizards advancing with the ’Killing Intent’ Talent Crystal can grasp the ability to release a Killing Intent Domain centered on themselves. All living beings within this domain constantly endure an assault of killing intent, easily driving those with weaker wills into a frenzy.
Additionally, Wizards can recover a small amount of physical and spiritual power through killing, a true paragon of growing stronger in the midst of battle!
Imagine how terrifying a Wizard with such a capability would be on the Knight’s battlefield!
And this is merely a Lower-Level Talent Crystal!
It just shows the strength of an Official Wizard!
“But it’s a pity, it’s merely a Lower-Level Talent Crystal model.”
Sunan felt a slight sense of regret.
He was certainly aiming to sprint toward becoming a True Spirit Wizard in the future, so his target was definitely an Upper-Level Talent Crystal.
The Lower-Level and Middle-Level Talent Crystals were entirely not in his consideration.
The construction of a Talent Crystal consists of three steps in total.
The first is to decide on the Talent Crystal model to be constructed.
Talent Crystal models are usually refined and deepened from a primitive model.
The simplest and most common method is using a certain Magic Model as the primitive model for refinement and deepening.
Additionally, some choose to replicate and extract the characteristics of certain magical items as primitive models.
The last method involves using bloodline powers as the primitive model.
This method is generally chosen only by Wizard Apprentices following the bloodline Wizard route.
For instance, the ’Killing Intent’ Talent Crystal model is clearly a Talent Crystal model refined from the bloodline power of the Carlos Python.
Wizard Apprentices integrating with the Carlos bloodline, if they advance to a formal Wizard using the ’Killing Intent’ Talent Crystal, would exhibit higher combat strength and potential due to the compatibility of the crystal with their own bloodline compared to other Wizards constructing lower-level Talent Crystals.
In the early stages, Wizards following the bloodline route always have an advantage over those on the true spirit path to Wizardry.
In a sense, one might say this advantage is gained at the expense of potential.
In summary, concerning the choice of Talent Crystal models, Wizard Apprentices can opt for pre-existing models left by predecessors or choose to research and create new models.
The advantage of the former is that it saves time and effort, and since the model’s feasibility has been confirmed by predecessors, there’s no need to worry about unexpected outcomes.
The downside is these models may not be entirely suitable for the individual.
Each Talent Crystal model was originally created based on the creator’s own conditions.
As no two souls and bodies are exactly alike, inevitable differences will arise, leading to imperfect compatibility between successors and Talent Crystal models, causing certain impacts.
These might seem negligible at the start but will certainly manifest as obstacles when aiming for higher realms.
For this reason, all ambitious Wizard Apprentices without exception choose to research and create new models.
Even those following familial bloodline legacy Wizard routes will make some adjustments and modifications to the Talent Crystal models left by ancestors, ensuring close alignment with themselves, never accepting them wholesale.
As for Sunan, naturally, he also plans to choose the second route.
In fact, he had long decided on the primitive model for his Talent Crystal.
That is the Demon Pattern Core, which he always regarded as his strongest trump card!
