Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 541: Test

This process is tedious and intricate, requiring great patience and meticulous calculation.

However, Duke was completely immersed in it, relying on his formidable Spiritual Power for computational assistance to summarize, organize, and extrapolate from the vast amounts of test data.

He particularly enjoyed the process of discovering and solving problems, being able to see himself progressing step by step towards his goal, which brought a great sense of accomplishment.

Duke discovered many deficiencies in his initial concept, such as certain filter layers being inefficient, causing unnecessary Spiritual Power depletion.

Moreover, there were logical loops in the structure of the information reconstruction part, making it unable to effectively restore the event outlines, and so on.

He continually modified the core architecture diagram, adjusted the connection methods between nodes, and optimized the pathways of energy flow.

The main model structure on the parchment became increasingly complex through successive revisions, yet also increasingly reasonable and efficient.

Time quietly passed in the quiet chamber.

Five days later, Duke finally put down his pen.

The magic parchment before him now displayed a complete, intricate, and wisdom-gleaming three-dimensional Magic Model, which was the final design diagram of the Water Flow Shadow.

This model presented a dynamic, multi-layered, nested spherical structure, the outer layer being a fast-spinning noise filtering layer, centrifugally casting off useless background information.

The middle consisted of several parallel information screening layers, resembling precise sieves extracting specific types of imprints based on the caster’s will.

The innermost layer was the core shadow reconstruction layer, filled with complex analytic runes that assembled and extrapolated filtered informational fragments according to chronological sequences and energy spectrums, ultimately forming a vague, information-retraced simulated scene in the caster’s consciousness.

"Now, it’s time to construct the complete model."

Duke, concentrating and calm, plunged his entire mind into the spiritual sea.

Using his overwhelming Spiritual Power as the foundation and the perfect data obtained from countless tests as the blueprint, he began constructing this brand new Magic Model.

This was a complex Magic Model, reaching a complexity of N37.

Even among Level 1 Magic, it was considered exceptionally complex.

Duke manipulated his Spiritual Power to start constructing the Magic Model, illuminating numerous nodes and connecting myriad energy channels.

In the spiritual sea, the pale blue radiance grew more intense as a complex, majestic, and mysterious three-dimensional structure slowly took form.

When the last node lit up and seamlessly integrated with the entire structure,

the entire model suddenly emitted a stable and gentle blue glow, slowly rotating in Duke’s spiritual sea.

He could clearly sense an unprecedented deep connection between himself and the surrounding seawater.

Whenever he wished, he could activate this model to listen to the whispers left by the past, washed and yet still lingering in the flowing currents of the ocean.

Though the construction of the Water Flow Shadow Magic Model was complete, Duke wasn’t entirely at ease.

He knew that any new magic, especially one used in such a complex environment for exploration, required rigorous testing to clarify its capability boundaries, consumption, and any possible interferences.

The successful construction of a Magic Model only indicated it was indeed magic, but not that it could perfectly fulfill the initial purpose of its design.

It is common in a wizard’s magic research for the final constructed Magic Model to deviate from or even completely oppose the original purpose.

Inherent instability and numerous uncertainties with self-created magic mean it often requires testing, adjustment, and optimization before it can be used with confidence.

Sitting cross-legged in the tranquil chamber, Duke quietly activated the Water Flow Shadow model in his spiritual sea.

A wave of cool, ethereal Spiritual Power emanated from him, spreading silently like ripples caused by a stone cast into still water, establishing some deep link with the seawater in contact with his body.

He did not set a specific target, merely opened his perception to the information remnants recorded by the water flow around this chamber and near this courtyard over past periods.

Initially, an immensely complex "noise" surged into his consciousness.

That was the endless motion trajectory of the water flow itself, carrying sensations of cold and pressure, interspersed with the faint bioelectric signals and fields from the life activities of plankton in the seawater, like the weaving background hums of countless insects in a grassy field during a summer night.

Moments later, he sensed faint and unconscious Spiritual Power ripples emanating from other wizards or the Sea Race at the distant camp, mixed with various emotion fragments — vigilance, fatigue, curiosity, and even a touch of fatigue towards war.

There were even, from much further ago, almost eroded vibration imprints left by tools chipping at coral rock while constructing this courtyard...

This information flowed rapidly like a torrent, mixed with countless complex details.

However, the Magic Model in his spiritual sea began to operate efficiently, with the outer noise filtering layer spinning rapidly, stripping and discarding most of the meaningless background information.

Duke focused his thoughts, attempting preliminary screening.

He planned to filter the information to see if there were traces of any powerful creatures or unusual energy activities nearby.

As his will concentrated, the Water Flow Shadow Magic Model continued to operate, focusing on capturing specific energy imprints and biological pheromones.

Instantly, the torrent of information became much clearer, with some relatively distinct imprints beginning to emerge, pieced together by the core shadow reconstruction layer of the Magic Model in his consciousness into vague, intermittent scenes or sensations.

He saw a massive, majestic shadow once glide slowly over the courtyard, a deep-sea giant squid patrol, with whirlpool imprints left by its strong, powerful tentacles stirring the water flow, and the powerful Life Energy within its body combined with a hint of the Sea Race’s orderly spiritual mark, all engraved clearly in the water flow.

This imprint was relatively fresh, likely left just a few hours ago.

Duke also sensed a sharp, violent energy residue from the northwest direction, not a biological aura, but an imprint left by some high-energy magic or powerful attack propagated through the water flow.

The imprint contained elements of tearing and burning, along with a hint of the unsettling chaotic energy traits unique to the Void Insect Race, indicating there had been fierce combat with the Insect Race in that direction one or two days ago.

In deeper, older temporal layers, Duke captured an extremely weak, nearly completely dissipated spiritual wave imprint. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

It did not originate from the Sea Race or Insect Race, but from a more ancient, obscure consciousness remnant, like a subconscious sigh from a massive entity slumbering beneath the deep sea.
