Wizard: From Zero-Circle Wizard to the Omnipotent Lord

Life sometimes rushes like the wind, and at other times flows gently like water. 

After the intense day of life-and-death battles, passing the trial, and becoming a disciple, Lynn's life suddenly slowed down. 

It had been exactly two months since he took over the task of maintaining the magical herbs. 

During this time, Lynn felt as if the entire world had forgotten about him. 

Whether it was his beautiful teacher, Rosalind, his always enthusiastic senior brother Colin, or even his sworn enemy Riley none of them had come looking for him. 

If it were just one person not contacting him for example, his teacher might have been too busy to remember her new student, 

or his senior brother Colin might have been overwhelmed with work and unable to spare the time he could understand. 

But now, whether it was his teacher, his senior brother, or his enemy, all of them seemed to have completely ignored him. 

Even the witch Sonya hadn't shown up again, which felt a bit too unusual. 

"Could something big have happened in the Furnace?" 

Lynn frowned as he pondered. He wasn't one to underestimate himself, nor was he narcissistic enough to think the world revolved around him. 

But from what Remi had told him, even Sonya had become unusually busy lately. 

Even the workload in the potion garden seemed to have suddenly increased, making everything feel quite intriguing. 

However, not being disturbed wasn't necessarily a bad thing. 

At the very least, he could finally focus on his cultivation and studies in peace. 

At noon, Lynn finished his morning work of maintaining the magical herbs, had a quick lunch, and then returned to his room, locking the door behind him. 

He sat at his desk, rubbing his temples, and murmured: 

"Well, at least this time hasn't been wasted…" 

A virtual panel appeared before his eyes:

......... 

Over the past two months, Lynn had thoroughly mastered almost every book and skill he had access to. He had read, digested, and completely understood the contents of each book. 

At the same time, he had gained a deeper understanding of the world of wizards, no longer the clueless wizard apprentice he had been two months ago. 

"Although the process of accumulation is tedious, with the help of my talent and the progress bar, the constant sense of achievement always pushes me forward…" 

Lynn muttered to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips. 

After thoroughly studying the Beginner's Meditation Manual, Lynn gained a clear and complete understanding of the stages of a wizard apprentice's growth. 

The growth of a wizard apprentice was divided into three stages: 

First-Level Wizard Apprentice, Second-Level Wizard Apprentice, and Third-Level Wizard Apprentice. 

The First-Level Wizard Apprentice was the starting stage of a wizard, with a status almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person. 

The only advantage was stronger mental power, which provided a certain degree of spell resistance, but their combat ability was far inferior to that of a knight-level powerhouse. 

The standard for advancement was to construct twenty-four runic characters through meditation, an important indicator of reaching the required level of mental power. 

After reaching this stage, the apprentice could begin to sense the energy that permeated the surroundings and choose their future research direction based on the type of energy they sensed most clearly. 

The Second-Level Wizard Apprentice was a leap forward. 

Energy particle radiation began to appear within their bodies, not only greatly enhancing their physical constitution but also allowing them to cast simple spells. 

Wizards at this stage had combat abilities comparable to peak knight-level powerhouses and could even hold their own against a grand knight for a short time. 

The Third-Level Wizard Apprentice was even more formidable. 

They not only mastered multiple powerful spells but could also use the energy particles within their bodies to strongly resist both spells and physical attacks. 

They were proficient in a technique called "fragmented spellcasting," which was similar to using pre-prepared enchanted items to quickly cast powerful spells through simplified incantations. 

This technique significantly boosted their burst power in combat. 

Although Lynn's talent wasn't top-tier, it was above average. 

With the help of his "Heaven Rewards Diligence" talent, his cultivation progress far surpassed that of ordinary people. 

The combination of these two factors, along with his relentless hard work over the past two months, had led to obvious progress. 

In just two months, Lynn had smoothly advanced from a First-Level Wizard Apprentice to a Second-Level Wizard Apprentice. 

While cultivating his meditation technique and steadily improving his mental power, he also used the life seed to attract energy from the surrounding environment, absorbing the necessary energy particles. 

Just yesterday, he successfully broke through to the Second-Level Wizard Apprentice realm. 

With this breakthrough, Lynn's body began to undergo significant changes. 

The energy particles accumulated within his body formed a unique energy radiation characteristic of wizards. 

This radiation not only enhanced his mental power but also greatly strengthened his physical constitution. 

Originally, his physical attributes were at a baseline level of "1," but after breaking through to the Second-Level Wizard Apprentice realm, these attributes had nearly quintupled, reaching a level of "5." 

This leap in growth allowed Lynn to personally experience the terrifying boost that came with advancing in the wizard realm. 

Although part of this was due to Lynn's initially low starting point, it was still enough to demonstrate how astonishing the leap in power was after a wizard's breakthrough. 

Lynn closed his eyes, feeling the surging energy within his body. 

He clenched his fist, sensing the unprecedented surge of power, but a hint of confusion lingered in his heart: 

"It's a pity that I still haven't established a clear combat system. Up until now, I don't even know what level my strength is at. Although the breakthrough has brought obvious enhancements, I still don't have a clear understanding of exactly how much stronger I've become…" 

His mental power had indeed increased significantly, and his physical strength had undergone a qualitative leap, but the specific extent of this growth was immeasurable. 

This left Lynn feeling somewhat uneasy. 

He had long planned to seek advice from Colin or Sonya, but he had waited for two months without seeing either of them. 

During that time, he had advanced from a First-Level Wizard Apprentice to a Second-Level Wizard Apprentice. 

"I wonder if they've finished their busy work…" 

Lynn sighed. 

At noon, he took a short nap in his dormitory and then began practicing the spells that came with the Beginner's Meditation Manual. 

During his time as a First-Level Wizard Apprentice, he had learned two Zero-Circle beginner spells: 

Daze and Breath Concealment. 

Although they provided some assistance, they were essentially just small tricks with limited utility. 

After advancing to the Second-Level Wizard Apprentice realm, his meditation technique unlocked two new practice spells. 

This time, the spells were more common Zero-Circle intermediate spells: 

Fireball and Frost Arrow. 

These two spells were household names in the wizard world. 

Although they were still Zero-Circle spells, as intermediate spells, their power far surpassed that of beginner spells. 

Lynn felt a clear difference: 

Whether it was Daze or Breath Concealment, they were intangible tricks that could only be useful in specific situations. 

But Fireball and Frost Arrow were completely different. 

They could harness the energy particles in the surrounding environment, condensing the intangible into the tangible and unleashing spells with formidable destructive power. 

It was from this point that wizard apprentices began to truly grasp the wonders of the wizard world.
