Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 592: First-level Knight

Next, is the first step of elementalization, inducing external light elements to permeate the Life Seed.

The Duke operated the Breathing Technique while slightly activating the complex six-element crystal core in the sea of spirit.

Light attribute elements, like a warm stream, slowly washed over and enveloped the Life Seed.

Initially, the Life Seed passively accepted the nourishment from these light elements, its milky white glow seemed to become slightly more lustrous.

This is a gentle, gradual beginning, allowing the Life Seed to gradually adapt and become familiar with the characteristics of Light Energy.

As the permeation deepened, the Duke began to construct a more complex energy cycle.

He controlled the intake of light elements, not merely wrapping but attempting to penetrate the internal structure of the Life Seed.

The unique rhythm of the Breathing Technique drove the life energy within the body and the light elements together, using the Life Seed as the core, forming small energy vortices, like countless chisels, starting to sculpt and change the essence of the Seed from the inside.

This process requires extremely high control. Too much strength may damage the Seed’s structure, too little, and the elementalization process is slow.

The Duke, relying on his crystalized wizard’s spirit control, perfectly managed this process.

He could clearly feel subtle changes occurring inside the Life Seed; some originally neutral life energy nodes began to be assimilated, illuminated by the light elements, emitting a platinum micro glow.

This process is essentially the Life Seed’s process of elementalization, which for most Great Knights, is a somewhat long process, requiring a period to fully elementalize the Life Seed.

But for the Duke, himself possessing high affinity with light elements, coupled with the Light Divine Status, and surrounded by the energy of the Light God Court.

With the blessing of various enhancement effects, the process of elementalizing the Life Seed could be greatly accelerated.

He took a deep breath, fully operating the Light Divine Breathing Technique while invoking the power of the Light Divine Status.

"Buzz—!"

It’s as if a cluster of sacred flames were ignited inside, immensely pure light energy much greater than before surged in like a tidal wave, instantly flooding into his body, targeting the Life Seed which had mostly transformed into platinum.

A violent sensation of energy wash came, a sense of heat and expansion from the abdomen.

The Life Seed, under the impact of vast light energy, emitted a faint, glass-like chirping tremor.

Its form began to destabilize, the surface’s luster flowing like liquid, while at its core, an extremely dazzling, as if concentrating all worldly light, blazing white core was forming.

This is the final stage of elementalization, breaking before establishing.

The old and pure life energy structure was completely dismantled and restructured, deeply integrated with the laws of light, constructing a new, eternally burning light element core.

The Duke steadied his mind, enduring the discomfort brought by the energy core’s restructuring, using his strong will as a guide, directing this final transformation.

For him, these are minor issues, but for ordinary Great Knights, this stage would be quite a test.

Time slowly passed.

When the surging tides of light gradually calmed, when the heat and expansion transformed into a warm, full sensation, as if a miniature sun was hidden inside, the transformation was complete.

Under the Duke’s inner vision, the pea-sized milky-white Life Seed had disappeared.

In its place, was a diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a pinky fingertip, entirely semi-transparent blazing white, as if carved from the purest light crystal.

It quietly floated there, slowly rotating, without needing guidance, it autonomously absorbed thin light elements from the void, continuously emitting warm and strong light power, purifying and strengthening the Duke’s body, even corresponded to the wizard crystal core in his sea of spirit, forming a wonderful cycle of energy.

The Duke slowly opened his eyes, as if a sacred radiance flowed within them.

He successfully took the crucial step on the Knight’s path, relying on his deep foundation and the assistance of the Light God Court, completely elementalized the original Life Seed, forging a Light Element Core, formally stepping into the ranks of First-level Light Knights.

[Light Divine Breathing Technique: LV2 (672/1000)]

The Duke didn’t plan to invest much in the Knight’s path, only trying occasionally when he had free time, after all, having more skills doesn’t hurt.

With the Skill Tree in him, learning other skills is never a loss, they would always improve.

After ascending to a First-level Knight, he also planned to test his own knightly strength, see how the application of Fighting Spirit and other aspects were.

The Duke remained in the Light God Court, the energy here was abundant and safe.

He stood up, a slight movement of heart thought, trying to guide the power of the Life Seed in his abdomen.

Initially, a bit unfamiliar, since it differs from the spirit power that moves like limbs, the operation of Fighting Spirit relies on specific energy veins and body instinct.

But soon, relying on his strong spirit control and familiarity with his own body, he mastered the knack.

Strands of warm, pure energy with a faint sense of heat were extracted from the elemental core, flowing along the specific Fighting Spirit pathways recorded in the Light Divine Breathing Technique.

This energy displayed a liquid platinum texture, along its path, muscle fibers seemed slightly activated, full of a sense of strength.

He tried to condense the Fighting Spirit in his palm. Only to see his right palm quickly covered by a gentle yet solid platinum-white light, as if wearing a glove made of light.

The light was not glaring but emitted a reassuring yet implicitly majestic aura.

He approached a man-tall, hard milky white rock, a naturally formed mineral within the God Court.

Without using any magic, purely with physical strength, wrapped in Light Fighting Spirit, he punched out.

A muffled sound, the surface of the struck rock instantly showed a clear fist mark, several inches deep, smooth edges, even with slight signs of melting.

The destructive power far exceeded his usual purely physical strength, and it came with a hint of light burning and purification characteristics.

Then, he moved his heart thought again, rapidly spreading Fighting Spirit throughout the body.

A thin yet dense sacred aura enveloped his skin, like wearing an invisible light battle suit.

He manipulated a smaller rock to hover, then accelerated it towards himself.

The rock hit the layer of Fighting Spirit defense, making a crisp sound, then was bounced away by a soft yet tenacious force, the surface showing signs of light energy burns, and the Duke himself only felt a slight impact, unharmed.

This is a rock he manipulated with his own spirit power, the attack strength was still considerable.
