Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 373 - 148 Unforeseen Breakthrough
When Professionals advance to the Seventh Rank, the fuel for their Spirit Fire is their own Spirit Sea itself. Hence, during their advancement, they need to burn it while exerting all their effort to refine the remaining spiritual power with this Spirit Fire.
Although the quantity of spiritual power decreases during this refinement, its quality becomes increasingly pure, until it surpasses a certain transformative threshold and is completely sublimated into High Rank, spiritualized mental power that fears no refinement by the flames of the Spirit Fire.
But due to the intense consumption required to maintain the Spirit Fire itself, this refining process is extremely difficult. Once the burning of the Spirit Sea crosses a critical threshold of seventy percent of its total volume, the chances of success become exceedingly slim.
However, now, because the Ancient Secret Scripture continues to emit special energy and enhance his foundational strength, the Spirit Sea which was just burned is quickly replenished.
This results in his breakthrough process being almost entirely supported by the power of the Ancient Secret Scripture.
Compared to other conventional ways to advance to the Seventh Rank, Anvis’s method can be said to possess a huge advantage and is extremely beneficial.
The function of the Spirit Fire is not merely to refine spiritual power but also offers two other choices: to refine the body or to refine the Initial Spells.
If Professionals do not actively interfere with the breakthrough process, the Spirit Fire will instinctively refine the spiritual power, and simultaneously, the body will also undergo a passive, slight refinement.
However, according to the secret knowledge Anvis saw in the family’s Book Collection Room, if Professionals actively guide the Spirit Fire to refine the body during their advance to High Rank, the body’s strength will likewise undergo a transformative change in the end. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
This is an advancement method chosen only by some War Profession System’s special Professions who pursue the ultimate improvement of themselves.
Professionals who advance in this way will completely lose their own spiritual power but will gain a form of Super Perception known as ’Heart’s Eye.’
Its effect is similar to High Rank spiritual power, but it can only serve as a means of sensing enemies and cannot leverage natural forces for Attack.
Refining the Initial Spells is an option after achieving one of the former two.
Just like the brief ’Superlimit’ state from a Zero Rank breaking through to the First Rank, the Spirit Fire can also achieve a similar effect, causing the Initial Spells to undergo another metamorphosis.
This is truly secret knowledge, which the vast majority of Professionals are not aware of. The few who do know, their total volume of spiritual power does not allow them to desire all.
Because regardless of which aspect is chosen for sublimation, almost all of them will consume more than fifty percent of the Spirit Sea’s area during the refinement process.
Therefore, they must choose between refining either the spirit or the body, and at most, use the remaining Spirit Fire to refine the Initial Spells.
Before this, Anvis had also prepared to advance normally through the transformative process of spiritual power + refinement of Initial Spells.
But due to the continual transmission of power from the Ancient Secret Scripture, Anvis suddenly realized that he might have the opportunity to attempt that path which only exists in theory.
Simultaneous metamorphosis of the spirit and the body—
Having thought only for an instant, Anvis made his decision.
Only ugly people make choices; handsome as I am, I want it all!
With his Will, the intensity of the ephemeral Spirit Fire burning on his body’s surface suddenly doubled.
A bright white Radiance emanated from Anvis.
Unlike ordinary Sixth Rank Professionals, due to his Attribute being too exceptional, the intensity of the Spirit Fire ignited by Anvis was originally much stronger than that of other Sixth Rank Professionals.
And now, as the intensity of the radiant flames doubled once again, the Magic Fluctuations akin to a Seventh Rank limit of the Spiritual Spell suddenly erupted from Anvis’s body!
The Magic Array that he had previously set up around himself now came into use, swiftly absorbing waves of chaotic Spiritual Fluctuations, ensuring that the incident here would not be detected by the outside world.
However, as Anvis’s breakthrough process continued, the power of these spiritual aftereffects seemed to be increasing continuously!
Humm——
At last, as if some constraint had suddenly been lifted, Anvis’s consciousness, which had become slightly chaotic during the refinement, suddenly shook. His perspective shot up rapidly, experiencing an illusion similar to the transition from Zero Rank to First Rank.
Under the scan of the newly elevated High Rank spiritual power, the details of the world became incredibly clear. When his spiritual power swept across the ground, he could even clearly see the uneven surfaces of each speck of dust, much like the Moon Surface.
His body also underwent a peculiar transformation. His skin became extremely tight and smooth, radiating a hazy Magic glow like jade.
The microscopic structure of his blood, muscles, and bones underwent a curious change, resembling countless tiny flesh and blood Inscriptions fused together. Merely with intent observation, one could sense an incredibly astonishing Strength.
At the same time, the two Legendary Bloodlines within him also changed.
Seventh Rank is a critical watershed; when Professionals break through, their Bloodlines naturally awaken without any need for ceremonies.
A massive platinum-hued Crystal Bird phantom faintly enveloped Anvis’s body. The Elements of ice and light spontaneously gathered around him, as if circling the cloak and Crown of a King.
In the moment he had just broken through, the Chaotic Magic aftereffects that had surged to the middle of Eighth Rank, instantly broke through the obstruction of the Array he had previously depicted, slamming into the walls of the secret chamber.
It was then stopped by the thick repellent alloy walls and the protective array of the secret chamber itself.
His deep blue eyes slowly opened, and after scanning the changes within the room, Anvis immersed his attention in the power he now controlled.
If the greatest change in spiritual power for an Initial Rank Profession advancing to Mid Rank is the ability to penetrate solid objects.
Then the sublimation of spiritual power for a Mid Rank Profession advancing to High Rank brings about the ultimate enhancement of microscopic perception abilities and manipulation capabilities.
Before Seventh Rank, all Spells are first constructed by spiritual power into a Model, which then attracts Magic Elements from nature to fill in, thus forming a complete Spell.
Once the Spell is formed, Professionals can at most control its flight trajectory and Attack targets, unable to further alter the Spell Model itself.
But after reaching Seventh Rank, Professionals gain the ability to Control each element particle within the Spell.
Initially, they may only be able to control about ten percent, but this ability allows them to alter an already formed and released Spell into another Spell on the fly.
The term ’Spiritualized Mental Power’ originated from the notion that High Rank Professionals’ spiritual power has its own Life, capable of flexibly producing corresponding changes to the Spell according to the owner’s commands.
Only such spiritual power can ensure that every Spell cast by a Professional contains the Will of the Caster.
Seventh Rank was also the highest Rank that the young Anvis once achieved. The path ahead would now rely on his own effort to navigate.
Of course, perhaps the Ancient Secret Scripture could offer him a bit of help.
During his breakthrough, the Power Dragon’s avatar, which had previously been lying on one side, also temporarily fell into a slumber.
