147: The bottleneck of the mind reappears

Time flew by, and another three years passed.

It was May of the 28th year of the wizard's path.

It was time for the annual Brain Overclocking again.

Thanks to his unique Hundredfold Harvest talent, Glynn made rapid progress over these three years, continuously improving his mastery of various difficult knowledge courses.

Lord Joyce had praised Glynn's diligent study attitude and solid academic style multiple times.

After sitting on the sidelines for a full four years, Glynn finally ushered in the season of harvest.

In May of the 28th year of the wizard's path, Glynn finally completed a historic moment—

Successfully completed the core prototype construction of a first-order innate wizardry—the Plant Protection Force Field!

At this very moment.

In the depths of Glynn's mind, within the ocean of Spiritual Power.

Above the triangular, stable formation of Spiritual Power chains, there was an extremely complex, three-dimensional wizardry rune core, its appearance strikingly similar to the VR projection in the Wizardry Study Room on the 6th floor of the Wizard Tower.

It was merely a core rune model, without many extended runes yet.

But!

This was the foundation of Glynn's path to enlightenment... With the core construction of his innate wizardry complete, Glynn officially stepped into the peak of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice, reaching a point where he could advance no further.

Glynn also created a personal statistics panel to organize his current status:

Name: Glynn

Physiological Age: 38 years old

Wizard Age: 28 years

Wizard Realm: Peak Advanced Wizard Apprentice (100%)

(7 scales of Spiritual Power total + 7 intensity of Spiritual Power, both the total amount and intensity of Spiritual Power are equivalent to 7 times that of an average adult male human.)

Knight Realm: Peak Grand Knight of Limit Bloodline (100%)

(Constitution 5, Strength 5, both Constitution and Strength are 5 times that of an average adult male human.)

Awakened Bloodline: Rank 4 Star Devouring Beast

Titles: 3-Star Apprentice Alchemist + Peak Wizard Combat Power Certification + 5-Star Combat Wizard + Formal Wizard Registered Disciple + Plant Heart Wizard Academy Highest Management Committee — Honorary Member

Appellation: "Close-Range Wizard"

Evaluation:

A White Wizard who, through unremitting effort, a constant sense of crisis, continuous learning, and continuous growth.

On the 28-year path of a White Wizard's growth, he was ordinary in the early stages, even almost fading into obscurity, but driven by Glynn's strong sense of crisis, he continuously maintained the good habit of diligent study.

With the blessing of his BUG-like unique soul talent—Hundredfold Harvest, the more he worked, the greater the harvest, and naturally, the faster his progress.

Glynn is an honest person who knows how to make full use of every bit of help, firmly believing in an ancient proverb—

If you don't listen to the old, you'll suffer in the present.

Whether it was the selfless guidance and earnest teachings of various academy mentors;

The enthusiastic exchanges and friendly sharing of various classmates;

Or the academic notes and lessons learned through blood and tears of countless predecessors... Glynn would humbly absorb them, adopt the strengths of many, take the essence, discard the dross, and solidify and deepen his academic foundation.

White Wizard is a transcendent profession guided by learning and research; the more profound the knowledge, the broader the vision, the deeper the accumulated foundation, and naturally, the faster the progress.

At the same time.

Glynn also firmly remembered the greatest and most fundamental principle of this Scales of Truth Wizarding World in his mind—

Behind every gift of destiny, a price is marked.

Therefore, as Glynn explored the path of a wizard, he constantly reminded himself to stay on the right track, never daring to take shortcuts, and outright rejecting so-called cultivation shortcuts, diligently studying every day, and slowly accumulating knowledge honestly.

Currently, he has achieved remarkable success in the field of combat wizards, becoming one of the academy's peak combat powers, earning the title of "Close-Range Wizard," and his own wizard realm has reached its Mind Bottleneck.

The next step is to become a Formal Wizard... The moment Glynn reached the peak of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.

Naturally, Glynn knew what his Mind Bottleneck was this time.

This time, Glynn had no more doubts in his heart.

It was confirmed.

The unique talent of Hundredfold Harvest must have a third hidden function.

That is—when Glynn reaches the peak of each stage, without needing to search, the Mind Bottleneck will appear immediately.

Once or twice, it could be explained by luck.

But for it to happen three times, that cannot be explained by a simple stroke of luck.

Based on this.

After Glynn realized his Mind Bottleneck, he didn't dare to publicize it or tell his friends and mentors; it was better to keep such a beneficial secret to himself.

Glynn knew that when a second person knows a secret, your secret is no longer a secret.

Glynn would never reveal such a secret concerning his own talent; otherwise, if others were to covet it, Glynn would never have peace... Oakes was still searching for his Mind Bottleneck.

He had been searching for several years, and there was still no news, leaving him utterly confused and worried all day, to the point where even his girlfriend wasn't as appealing.

At the regular meetings of the iron triangle, Oakes complained most about his Mind Bottleneck.

As for Bigg, after so many years of cultivation and with the help of a group of successful friends, he had a relatively relaxed few years, reaching the peak of an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice half a year ago.

But half a year had passed, and Bigg still hadn't found his Mind Bottleneck.

Bigg had once optimistically told Glynn:

"This Mind Bottleneck is like a mischievous child playing hide-and-seek with us. We need to calm down and not be impatient."

"I don't care; being able to cultivate to this point, I'm already very satisfied. According to the official difficulty given by the academy, I shouldn't think too much."

"The next step, becoming an Advanced Magical Plant Cultivator as soon as possible, is my goal."

...In the Scales of Truth Wizarding World.

In this Era of Revival—

The Mind Bottleneck is undeniably the biggest obstacle on the wizard's path.

Countless wizards have fallen before this rule-based shackle on the spiritual level.

Whether you are exceptionally talented and gifted;

Or experienced a temporary surge of luck, possessing the supreme inheritance of Ancient Wizards;

Or came from a prestigious family with countless resources, drinking various precious potions like water;

Or were a favored child of heaven, taught by famous teachers, guided hand-in-hand, and spoon-fed knowledge;

...In the face of the Mind Bottleneck,

All beings are equal!

Overcoming it is a blessing, a step further up the ladder;

Failing to overcome it is fate, an insurmountable chasm that severs the wizard's path.
