72: Chapter 72 Fire Condensation Sorcery

The young wizard watched the Wizard Apprentices disappear from the screen and praised with a smile, "As expected of the Fallen Sun Council, they managed to get their hands on the origin crystal essence in the Desert Mother Nest so quickly."

"Once Dylan and the others become Official Wizards, they will inevitably play a significant role in the plane war, satisfying the Dark Erosion Stigmata Wizard."

Upon hearing this, the other Official Wizards nodded in agreement, clearly concurring with the young wizard's words.

Seeing everyone agree with his words, the young wizard raised his eyebrows provocatively toward the robed wizard sitting beside him.

The robed wizard saw this and gave a disdainful cold snort, but did not voice any rebuttal.

After all, the actions of Dylan and the others were plain for all to see; no matter how much he argued, he could not turn black into white.

Since that was the case, why bother asking for trouble?

The old man also spoke up with a chuckle, "Let's not just fixate on Dylan and those Limit Wizard Apprentices; we should also discover some other Wizard Apprentices and consider the future."

As soon as he said this, the eyes of all the wizards present lit up, their thoughts turning rapidly, and they smiled in agreement.

They all knew what the old man meant—wasn't it time to start splitting the cake?

List the students with good potential one by one, report them, and obtain funding from the academy.

"Wizard Mengzhi makes a valid point. We have been in the Ghost Marrow Crystal Nest Plane for over a month now; it is time to start discussing this list."

"Right. This list concerns not only those students but also the future of our academy. It is better to discuss it sooner."

"..."

Watching everyone chatter, Wizard Mengzhi spoke up again with a smile.

"We must be strict, even stricter, regarding the students added to the list. There cannot be any mistakes. It must not be like last time; otherwise, the consequences..."

Although Wizard Mengzhi did not finish his sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.

Thinking of the fate of those wizards, the other five wizards present shuddered, a look of lingering fear appearing in their eyes, and they nodded in agreement.

The balance must be precisely maintained; they could not just push their own people, as other students with genuine potential also needed to be included.

In fact, only after all the students with potential were listed would the remaining spots be theirs.

Otherwise, if the same result as last time occurred, no one would be able to withstand the fury of the Stigmata Wizard, even if He could not personally descend upon the Wizard World.

Faced with this matter concerning their interests, even Official Wizards could not avoid being worldly, and they all argued until their faces were red.

Of course, the part they were arguing about was only the students they wanted to insert.

As for the students with real potential, they had long been listed, and no one would be foolish enough to target them.

"Hahaha, I've done it! I finally succeeded!"

In the Laboratory at the Wizard Settlement, Byron, sporting two dark circles under his eyes, looked at the fist-sized, almost solidified ball of flame floating in front of him, unable to stop the smile on his face.

This orange-red flame looked unremarkable, not even as intimidating as the flames formed by directly using Mental Energy to leverage fire elements.

But only Byron understood that, let alone those flames, not even an Elemental Fireball could compare to the soul-stirring nature of the flame before him right now.

This was the result of him working tirelessly during this period, studying the dense lattice structure; finally, hard work paid off, and he successfully applied it to the elements.

This flame appeared unremarkable, with no difference in appearance from an ordinary flame.

And indeed, that statement was absolutely correct.

The most profound part of this flame spell lay within it.

By deciphering the dense lattice structure, Byron successfully constructed a framework to compress the loose fire elements within the flame.

Can you imagine? The volume of the flame originally leveraged by Mental Energy was almost larger than the entire Laboratory...

But through those structures, by continuously compressing it, it was eventually compressed into the fist-sized flame currently before Byron.

Although Byron had not fully tested the power of this flame, he knew that its power was equivalent to the Elemental Fireball spell.

It was simply unimaginable.

You must know, this flame was created by Byron simply leveraging it with Mental Energy, without using any magic power.

If magic power were added to this, its power would reach one to two times that of an Elemental Fireball.

The reason Byron could be so certain was that he had previously compressed several much smaller flames and obtained an accurate ratio.

Therefore, even if this flame were not released to test its power, just by using that accurate ratio and performing an equivalent substitution, an accurate value could be obtained for Byron's reference.

Although this flame could not yet be called a complete spell.

After all, it had not yet incorporated magic power to participate in the reaction, nor had it built a complete spell template; it would take a long time to cast, and he could not even be disturbed...

However...

For Byron, who possessed the Eye of Omniscience, these things were much easier than the previous experimental steps.

He only needed to add the factor of magic power and let the Eye of Omniscience collect enough experimental data.

Then, after continuous deduction by the Eye of Omniscience, he believed it would not take long to build the spell template and form a complete spell.

As for the name of this spell, Byron had already thought of it.

Looking at the almost solid flame floating in the air, Byron said with brilliant eyes, "From now on, I will call you the Flame Condensation Explosion Spell."

As the name implies, one can know the spell's mechanism from its name.

It works by continuously gathering and compressing fire elements inward, causing the density of the fire elements to increase and rise, condensing into a solid form.

Finally, either actively or passively, it instantly expands in a disordered manner, generating an extremely strong explosive energy shockwave and destructive burning power in a very short time.

To explain it more simply, it is roughly the same principle as gunpowder or explosives being compressed and sealed; what would originally be a gentle burn, after being compressed, instantly detonates, with its volume expanding rapidly to form an explosion.

Speaking of which, its spell mechanism is similar to the Elemental Fireball spell, but it is faster and more powerful than that.

Moreover, Byron had a premonition in his heart.

Although he had now exhausted all knowledge of the dense lattice structure, using it all on this spell to finally form this fist-sized flame.

But he believed that this was only the limit of the dense lattice structure, not the limit of compression.

If he continued to study it, using new knowledge to further compress and bind the fire elements, he could reach a new critical point.

In that case, what would its explosive power be like?

What if this compression were not used on elements to produce an explosive effect, but on other things?

Thinking of this, Byron felt a sense of longing, wanting to see its true form.

However, he knew clearly in his heart that these things were just his fleeting ideas; if he wanted to realize them, it would be pure daydreaming with his current capabilities.

He must absorb new knowledge and improve his own strength to turn his ideas into reality.

Thinking of this, Byron's resolve became even firmer.

Subsequently, he slowly disintegrated the flame floating before him, causing it to return to pure fire elements.

He dared not keep this thing for long; if it were to accidentally explode, he could kiss his Laboratory goodbye.
