Chapter 698: Chapter 4: Sweeping Through the Apprentice Rank and Former Powerful Enemies
Lynch’s figure moved like a phantom, silently weaving through the massive shadows cast by towering bookshelves. He did not deliberately seek battle, but wherever he passed, all magical creations melted away like spring snow.
There was no need for complex spells or gestures—often just a glance, a slight movement of the fingertips, or even a mere change of thought.
Sometimes a frigid mist silently spread, instantly freezing into ice the dozens of books about to spew poison or flames, and then they turned into sparkling powder;
Sometimes, several arcs of silver lightning leapt like living chains, accurately darting into the clusters of books, reducing them to charred remains with a series of faint crackling sounds;
Sometimes, the space itself slightly twisted, and those raging spells hadn’t even left their book covers before being twisted into grotesque shapes by an invisible force, then disintegrating;
More impressively, he would simply walk calmly beneath a turbulent sea of books overhead, and those books would seem to dissolve rapidly like they were dropped into strong acid, decomposing into fluttering ash that rained down.
The efficiency was astonishing.
The cold system notification in his mind had become an almost unbroken background noise, like rain endlessly tapping against a windowsill:
[Acid Splash Skill Level +8]
[Flash Skill Skill Level +5]
[Mage’s Hand Skill Level +3]
[Secondary Illusion Skill Level +7]
[Language Comprehension Skill Level +2]
[Read Magic Skill Level +4]
[…]
Countless knowledge fragments of zero-ring spells surged into his Spiritual Sea like an overflowing tide, continuously.
On the system interface, lines of spell entries quickly appeared, flickering, with their skill levels rolling, accumulating, and breaking the upper limit at an astonishing speed, finally settling on [MAX].
The structure of this Lost Tower was very peculiar. The Domain seemed only to cover a small area around the body, with its range greatly limited.
However, the Perception Ability hadn’t weakened much, and every area swept through would leave an hourglass in the Spiritual Sea. Initially empty, the hourglass slowly filled with sand each time knowledge was absorbed completely, indicating the area had been entirely cleared.
The magical creations in the tower would recover after a while after being eliminated. The presence of the hourglass allowed Lynch to effectively perceive which areas had their ’monsters’ cleared, avoiding repetitive and meaningless battles.
In this way, Lynch swiftly cleansed the entire library area on the first floor of this Lost Tower.
The Lost Tower had a total of one hundred levels.
The front 1 to 35 levels were the apprentice area, 35-60 levels were the wizard area, 60-80 were the secret skill area, 80-95 were the domain area, and above 95 were the areas beyond the domain.
The higher you went, the more precious the knowledge gained, but equally, the ’resistance’ faced also increased.
After completing the first layer, Lynch quickly ascended to the second layer.
Then to the third layer…
The fourth layer…
The fifth…
For a Domain Wizard, these apprentice level magical creations posed no difficulty at all.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Lynch encountered ’enemies’ he had faced before.
For example, in a forest on the second floor, there were Twisted Tree Demons as magical creations passing on knowledge, the very boss he encountered during his first trial on the Wizard’s Road.
He remembered that back then, he had to exhaust almost all his tricks and strategies to snatch a Soul Crystal from that giant.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Lynch was once again faced with this past opponent in such a manner.
The Tree Demon was still the same Tree Demon, but,
He was no longer the novice apprentice who only had Shadow Touch at his disposal.
No spells were needed, no gestures, not even a glance—just a mere wisp of spiritual power.
This once formidable enemy, as immovable as a mountain, vanished in silence, as if it had never existed.
And it wasn’t just the Twisted Tree Demon.
Mountain Burst Bear, Ausen Giant Python, Harpy…
Many powerful demons Lynch had encountered and battled in the past appeared here in the form of magical creations. These opponents, who once required all his wit to defeat, were now as insignificant as ants before him.
Lynch couldn’t help but marvel.
Unknowingly, he had already traveled so far along this Wizard’s Road, and had become so powerful?
Suddenly, a sense of unexpected satisfaction washed over him.
It was reminiscent of returning to a novice village in a video game on Earth, fully equipped with divine gear.
All he could say was, wonderful!
Amidst his joy, the persistent sound of system notifications echoed in his ear…
[Charm Human Skill Level +13]
[Endure Elemental Damage Skill Level +8]
[Giant Transformation Technique Skill Level +7]
[Shrinking Technique Skill Level +6]
[Magic Weapon Skill Level +9]
[Grease on Foot Skill Level +10]
[Jumping Technique Skill Level +8]
[Mage Armor Skill Level +12]
…
During this process, Lynch’s foundational knowledge base continued to expand.
The sixth floor…
The seventeenth floor…
The twenty-eighth floor…
The fiftieth floor!
Charging forward all the way, Lynch swiftly pushed through all fifty floors, sweeping through the entire apprentice area and defeating all the magical creations, amassing an incalculable amount of knowledge.
“Tsk tsk, the efficiency really is…”
After organizing the vast and abundant new knowledge in his mind, akin to a sea of stars, Lynch couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
From the simplest tricks to the rather intricate peak apprentice spells, covering the major domains of elements, psyche, protection, incantation, transformation, and more, with thousands of magic models, energy structures, casting insights, and techniques…
This immense sea of knowledge, if acquired through traditional learning and enlightenment, despite his talent and the system’s assistance, would likely require years.
Yet here, from the moment he stepped into the first floor of the Lost Tower to now having entirely purged the apprentice area and cleansed all the magical creations within fifty floors, only a month or two had passed in the outside world.
The efficiency of acquiring knowledge like this is extraordinarily terrifying, which is why the Lost Tower is a paradise sought after by countless wizards.
“The apprentice area was just an appetizer; the real feast begins now.”
Lynch muttered to himself, a gleam of anticipation in his eyes. He didn’t linger any longer, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared at the spiral stone staircase leading to the fifty-first floor.
Then, he took a step upwards…
