Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 212: Undead Transformation
"Fakado and the others have decided to join the academy."

In the study, Su Nan, Qiangwei and Scepter sat opposite each other.

After hearing what the Scepter said, Su Nan's face was calm and he was not surprised at all.

As early as when he invited Fakado and the other four, he knew that they would eventually agree to join Starlight Academy.

Unless they don't want to improve their strength and become wizards, they will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of freely exchanging resources.

In the entire Starlight Continent, only the Starlight Academy (Star Alliance) has sufficient resources to support their advancement to wizards.

"Other wizard apprentices from the Russell family have also joined the academy."

Scepter took a sip of the scented tea, and the scent of the tranquilizing flowers lifted his spirits slightly.

"In addition, the wizard qualification test in the Northwest Territory just ended last month, and a new batch of students just arrived at the academy yesterday, a total of 523 people. Now the total number of students in the academy has exceeded 1,400."

Su Nan nodded slightly: "How many second-level wizard apprentices are there?"

"One hundred and two." The Scepter reported a number without hesitation, obviously familiar with the development of the academy. "The number is still increasing. It is estimated that in another 20 to 30 years, the number of second-level wizard apprentices may exceed 300."

Su Nan nodded in understanding.

From the base era to today's academy, after years of accumulation, the second-level wizard apprentices have reached the moment of rapid development. In the future, the number of second-level wizard apprentices will only grow faster and faster.

As for the third-level wizard apprentice, that is still a long way off.

We’ll wait until the first student from Starlight Academy is promoted to a level-three wizard apprentice.

"There are more than 1,400 students. If there weren't four more instructors, I would be too busy just teaching them." Qiangwei complained a little.

The Scepter nodded in agreement.

The number of instructors in Starlight Academy is still too small, a ratio of nearly five hundred to one, which makes the three instructors feel deeply stressed.

If they didn't teach more and contribute more, they would have protested long ago.

Fortunately, with the addition of Fakado and his four companions, the pressure is no longer so great.

Sunan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He paused, then pondered and said, "If you know any other third-level wizard apprentices, you might as well invite them. As long as they are recognized by me and most of you mentors, they can also join the academy as mentors."

"No problem!" The Scepter responded with a smile, "I happen to know a few people."

Qiangwei also said that she would contact him.

"By the way, where is the traveler?" Sunan finally remembered another person who was not present.

"He went into seclusion." Rose said, "The traveler intends to transform himself into a semi-elemental life form to extend his lifespan."

After a pause, she added, "In fact, I also plan to undergo a semi-elemental transformation in the near future."

"Me too." The Scepter said seriously, "I plan to exchange some high-level sub-dragon blood and then perform blood fusion."

Su Nan's expression changed slightly.

The plans of Qiangwei and the other two reminded him that these three had not yet undergone any biological transformation surgery to extend their lifespans.

As far as Sunan knew, there were usually only three ways for wizard apprentices to prolong their lifespan, besides taking special potions like the Dawn Potion.

In addition to semi-elementalization and blood fusion, there is also the transformation into undead form.

Completely transform the body and soul into the form of the undead, thereby greatly extending lifespan.

Of course, the wizard apprentice in undead form is not truly immortal, but his lifespan will be increased by two to three hundred years, which is a much greater increase than the previous two methods.

But the cost is also huge.

First of all, the transformation conditions are harsh and the success rate is low.

In addition to requiring a large amount of resources, it is also necessary to find a place with rich negative energy like the Black Forest as the transformation site.

Even if all conditions are met, the conversion success rate will not be higher than 20%.

Secondly, even if one's luck is good enough to successfully transform, it will be difficult for one's strength to increase in the future, and there is basically no hope of being promoted to a wizard.

You should know that the reason why most wizard apprentices extend their lifespans is to buy more time to be promoted to wizards. Transforming undead can be said to be putting the cart before the horse, so very few wizard apprentices will choose this method.

In comparison, although semi-elementalization and blood fusion increase the lifespan a little less, there is at least room for improvement and hope of promotion.

However, most wizards will not undergo semi-elementalization and blood fusion during the apprenticeship stage.

After all, biological transformation at this stage will not significantly improve one's own strength, but will instead affect future development.

It is best to wait until you are promoted to a wizard, and then choose a more powerful bloodline fusion, or undergo a deeper elementalization, which will be more conducive to future growth.

But in today's Starlight Continent, wizard apprentices basically have no choice.

After Rose and the other two joined the Starlight Academy, they were no longer so short of resources, but they had "wasted" too much time before. If they followed the routine, the probability of being promoted to a wizard before they died was very slim.

Therefore, the only options are semi-elementization and blood fusion.

Even so, the probability of the three being promoted to official wizards is still extremely low, less than 10%.

He is even not as good as outstanding apprentices like Sherman and Corey.

At least the latter has a good chance of being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice before the age of fifty. In the future, he will spend much more time on becoming a wizard than Rose and the other two, and the possibility of successful promotion is also greater.

To be honest, Sunan wouldn't mind if one or two more wizards emerged from the Star Alliance.

In the future, when we fight against the [Dark Throne], we will have one or two more fighters.

With this in mind, he is now working on formulating the potion.

There are still more than fifty bottles of construction potions brought out from the Tower of Stars. It’s a large number, but one day they will be used up.

In order to prepare for a rainy day, we must create a new structural potion as soon as possible.

It is definitely impossible to find all the main materials for making the structural potion on the Starlight Continent, and it is also difficult to research alternative materials.

So Sunan simply did the opposite and focused on researching a weakened version of the construction potion.

As long as it is successfully developed, no matter how weak the effect is, it can be synthesized through the Rubik's Cube into a potion that is no inferior to the original.

After chatting with Qiangwei about academy matters for a while, Sunan left the study and went straight to the construction site of the wizard tower in Area 2.

After more than a year of construction, the base and body of the wizard tower are nearly completed, and he has now begun to build the central crystal energy transmission system.

Once the central crystal energy transmission system is completed, the next step will be the element pool.

As long as these two facilities can operate smoothly, the foundation of the wizard tower will be laid, and the next step is space planning.

"Before that, it's best to get the tower spirit out as well. This will make it easier to monitor the construction speed of the wizard tower in real time."

Sunan decided to go back and start refining the tower spirit.

This is also a difficult project.

The difficulty of refining a Tower Spirit is only higher than that of a Secret Doll.

Astral Calendar Year 1288, the Month of Sleep (December).

According to some wizard books, the Sleeping Moon symbolizes talent.

Some wizards who specialize in prophecy believe that babies born in this month have extraordinary potential.

Potential means dormant power, and sleep corresponds to awakening - starting from sleep and ending with awakening - this is the meaning of the dormant moon.

This month is also the most important month to say goodbye to the old first year.

Fleming agreed with this statement in his heart.

Because he was born in the Sleeping Moon. "What are you looking at, Fleming?"

Donohan's voice interrupted Fleming's thoughts.

Without even looking up, he casually responded while turning the pages.

"It's a book on astrology. The content is quite interesting."

"When did you become interested in this?" Donohan asked curiously.

In his impression, Fleming seemed to never read this kind of books.

"For wizards, knowledge is power. It's good to learn more about other knowledge."

Fleming placed a bookmark in the middle of the page, closed the book and put it aside.

"I heard from Teacher Qiangwei that Lord Sunan has memorized all the books in the academy and the Dragon Skeleton Tower Library."

Donohan curled his lips and said, "You also know that is Lord Sunan. It takes us several months to thoroughly understand a spell book. It will take us a long time to read all the books in the library."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you going to attend the banquet tonight?"

Fleming nodded without thinking: "Senior Xieman has helped me so much. Tonight's banquet is to celebrate his and Senior Corey's promotion to third-level wizard apprentices. Of course I have to go."

"I really envy you for getting the invitation." A hint of envy flashed in Donohan's eyes.

The banquet was jointly organized with Sherman and Corey, two wizard apprentices who had a good relationship with their seniors. Considering the venue limitations, only second-level wizard apprentices were invited.

Fleming was promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice in his fifth year at the academy, so he was naturally invited.

In the eyes of many students, this is proof that Fleming’s talent has been recognized by his seniors, which makes others envious.

Fleming felt a little smug in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He changed the subject and said, "I heard that Tatiana is also going to the party?"

"Of course. She is a foreign student personally selected by Lord Sunan to join the academy. Several instructors are very caring towards her. The organizer of the banquet will definitely not miss her."

When mentioning this, Donohan's tone was tinged with jealousy.

"Don't say that. Tatjana's talent is still outstanding."

"It took her much longer to get started with meditation than it did for you."

"That's because she's not human. If she were human, her talent would definitely be better than mine."

Fleming meant what he said.

The dark elves practice the Star Ring Meditation Method created based on humans, and it is certain that they will get twice the result with half the effort.

However, even so, it only took Tatjana two months to get started with the Star Ring Meditation Method. Her aptitude is truly amazing.

If there were meditation methods and spell books specifically designed for dark elves in this world, her strength improvement speed might be able to surpass seniors Sherman and Corey.

All I can say is that anyone who can be personally named by Lord Sunan to join the academy must have something extraordinary about him.

After chatting with Donohan for a while, Fleming sent him away and began his daily meditation routine in the dormitory.

By the time the meditation was over, it was already dark outside.

Fleming looked up at the quartz clock on the wall. There was still half an hour before the banquet started, so he got up and left the dormitory.

The seniors who were hosting the party booked the top floor of the second cafeteria.

When Fleming arrived at the top floor lobby, there were already quite a few people inside.

The dining table covered with white cloth was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes and drinks. Beautiful water elves walked back and forth between the tables with plates in their hands, their movements graceful as if they were dancing.

Fleming admired it for a while before reluctantly looking away, searching for the location of Senior Xie Man.

Soon, he found his target.

In fact, it is quite conspicuous.

In the center of the restaurant, seniors Xieman and Corey were surrounded by a group of people and were having a conversation.

"Xie Man, I heard that the college wants to invite you to be a tutor?"

"There is such an intention, and Corey has also received an invitation."

"Then what are your plans?"

"Of course I accept it. The contribution points and resources that a mentor can obtain are much more than those that a student can obtain, right, Sheman, Corey?"

"That's what I was planning too." Sherman said with a smile.

"Same." Corey was as taciturn as ever.

Fleming felt a little envious when he heard this.

I wonder if he can be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice at this age?

After a while, the students surrounding the two gradually dispersed, and Fleming finally found an opportunity to step forward.

"Senior Xie Man, Senior Corey, congratulations on your promotions."

"Long time no see, Junior Fleming, thank you for coming to the party." Sheman smiled gently.

Corey also nodded slightly to Fleming.

He is a typical meritocracy who doesn't want to bother with people who have no ability or talent, but Fleming is obviously not one of them.

"Hello, Senior Arthur." Fleming then looked at Arthur who was standing beside him.

It's been a long time since I last saw her. Senior Sister Atil is as beautiful as ever, and her gentle temperament has become more mellow with the passage of time.

"Long time no see, Junior Fleming." Atil smiled gently, "Not long ago, I met the Scepter Master. He praised your talent and said that you have already built the fifth star ring."

"Mr. Scepter, thank you for the compliment." Fleming said modestly.

The group of people started chatting and laughing, and just when the atmosphere was good, there was suddenly a commotion at the door of the hall.

Fleming turned his head and saw a tall and slender girl with black jade skin and beautiful and delicate features walking in.

She had an indifferent expression and an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

Even so, he still attracted a lot of attention in the hall as soon as he appeared, and immediately became the center of attention.

The girl seemed to have gotten used to this kind of scene, and was oblivious to the gazes around her. She looked around, and when she found Arthur, the indifference on her face melted away, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Tagina is here." Atil greeted her with a smile and affectionately took the dark elf girl's arm.

The two women soon began to whisper to each other.

Fleming was a little surprised when he saw this: "Senior Atil and Tatiana seem to have a good relationship?"

Sheman smiled and said, "When Tatiana first entered the academy, Atil took good care of Tatiana under the teacher's instructions, so the two have a good relationship."

Fleming suddenly realized.

No wonder.

As far as he knew, when Tatjana had just entered the academy, many people were very interested in her identity as a dark elf and tried to approach her, but Tatjana ignored them all.

Over time, Tatjana was given the reputation of being cool and beautiful, and the number of admirers surrounding her suddenly decreased a lot.

The dark elf girl didn't care and continued to do her own thing, completely immersed in training and studying, and hardly paying attention to others.

If Fleming hadn't attended the party tonight, she wouldn't have known that she had a good friend like Senior Arthur who she could talk to.
