Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: 010: The Finals!

Recently, Lynch had been immersing himself in studying the magic notebook he had acquired from Barton’s space ring, the masterwork of the Black Wizard Morris.

The Witch Master of the Shadow Swamp had profound accomplishments in Necromancy, encompassing extensive knowledge in Body Refinement, Spirit, and Magic—all three major branches of the field.

He had meticulously organized his knowledge into these three categories and passed them down individually to his three Inheritance Apprentices.

Barton had inherited knowledge in the field of Body Refinement.

Lynch quickly finished a round of reading.

[Proficiency in "Morris’s Bloodline Refining Manual" +16]

Rubbing his temples, he closed his eyes to let his weary spiritual power settle briefly before opening the system panel to check.

[Morris’s Bloodline Refining Manual lv0: 128/3000].

Even at the entry-level, a staggering 3,000 proficiency points were required—it was the most challenging magic knowledge Lynch had encountered so far.

But it was all worth it.

Holding the notebook in his hands, Lynch couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, "What a masterpiece of genius!"

Even though he had just begun studying it, Lynch was already deeply captivated by the content of the book.

Many of the concepts related to Necromancy were entirely new to him—knowledge he had never encountered before.

And these concepts weren’t confined solely to the realm of Necromancy but delved into the foundational theories of the entire magic world, challenging and overturning many of Lynch’s previous understandings.

It could be said that this knowledge elevated Lynch’s intellectual scope to an entirely new dimension.

"So this is what Necromancy is really about?"

"So this is what magic truly is?"

After reading it, Lynch felt as if his mind had been unlocked in an entirely new way.

"And this is just the Body Refinement aspect—there are still the Spirit and Magic aspects. If only I could get my hands on those as well..." Lynch couldn’t help but greedily think.

But for now, it was nothing more than a passing thought. Realistically, obtaining those was currently out of reach.

According to Richard’s journal, the Spirit-related knowledge had been passed on to a female apprentice named Frey, while the Magic branch had been taught to a male apprentice named Diego.

Even someone as powerful as Barton was no match for those two, especially Diego, who had almost fully inherited Morris’s teachings in Magic. His strength was already close to that of an Official-level Wizard.

Barton only managed to be defeated because his weaknesses were incredibly obvious, and more importantly, Richard had thoroughly investigated him inside and out.

But as for those other two... Even after years of calculations, Richard only had a vague understanding of them. What cards did they hold? What are their weaknesses? None of this was clear yet.

"We’ll see in the future."

Lynch shook his head, putting aside his ambitious thoughts.

Instead of dwelling on uncertainties, it was better to dive deeply into the notebook at hand. If he could thoroughly master this, he could proceed with both repairing Barton and further modifying him.

...

About a thousand apprentices registered for the competition—a considerable number, though not all apprentices chose to participate.

Many were observing from the sidelines—

The Tower had announced its intent to hold such competitions annually going forward, so some apprentices decided to wait and see before participating in future rounds.

And of course, there were those like Lynch who simply couldn’t be bothered with the fuss.

Each apprentice competed in three matches daily, and after nearly a week, the competition finally reached the day of its finals.

This day was undoubtedly the most heated and thrilling moment since the opening of the competition.

Not only had all the Tower’s apprentices come to witness the event, but many Wizards had also been invited to attend.
