Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 368 - 223: An Inexhaustible Treasure Trove

Starlight Calendar 1297.

The Deep Sea Naga surrendered to the Star Alliance.

To this day, the two most powerful oceanic races in the Rainbow Sea have both submitted to the Star Alliance.

The development of the Rainbow Sea by the Star Alliance has since entered a phase of rapid growth.

With Lize assisting with Star Alliance affairs, Sunan could finally focus on cultivation and constructing the Wizard Tower.

Thanks to the method of absorbing divine energy through synthetic Elemental Crystal Cores, Sunan’s spiritual refinement level has been steadily increasing.

The progress of the Wizard Tower’s construction is also growing slowly but steadily.

Everything proceeds in an orderly manner.

Starlight Calendar 1304.

Kei finally reached the pinnacle of a Tier Four Legendary Knight, with no further progress possible.

To advance further, there are only two paths: becoming a Bloodline Knight or an Elemental Knight.

In the end, Kei still adhered to his original decision and chose the path of the Bloodline Knight.

After much consideration, he selected the bloodline of the Demon Tyrant Dragon for fusion.

The Demon Tyrant Dragon belongs to the Sub-dragon Species and stands at the pinnacle of high-tier Sub-dragon Species, with a blood concentration exceeding 85%.

Even in the Dragon Forest, the Demon Tyrant Dragon is one of the most powerful Sub-dragon Species.

Especially in recent years, with the implementation of the high-tier Sub-dragon Species bloodline enhancement plan, the blood concentration of these high-tier Sub-dragon Species in the Dragon Forest has increased to varying degrees.

Due to their inherently high blood concentration, the Demon Tyrant Dragon species did not see as noticeable an increase as other high-tier Sub-dragon Species, but their blood concentration generally increased by 3% to 5%.

The most powerful Demon Tyrant Dragon among them had a blood concentration as high as 91.27%.

The bloodline that Kei is about to fuse with comes from this very Demon Tyrant Dragon.

For Sunan, the modifications for the Bloodline Knight were not too difficult.

After spending three days in the laboratory, when he came out, Kei had already advanced to become a Bloodline Knight.

On the training ground, the whistling sound of the blade cutting through the air was endless.

Visible blasts of air surged forth, sweeping across the surrounding ground and stirring up clouds of dust.

After a while, Kei finally stopped swinging his sword and walked off the training ground, feeling unsatisfied.

"How do you feel?" Sunan asked.

"Great, absolutely fantastic!" Kei’s face was full of excitement, "I feel my whole body is filled with power, and my physique has improved significantly!"

Sunan smiled and said, "The Demon Tyrant Dragon is a high-tier Sub-dragon Species renowned for its physical strength. Fusing its bloodline, the strengthening in terms of physique is the most apparent."

"Furthermore, your energy resistance and control over fire element particles should have also significantly improved, though of course, the latter won’t compare to that of an Elemental Knight."

Kei chuckled, "It’s enough. I mainly did this to extend my lifespan, and the power enhancement is secondary."

"By the way, can this bloodline ability be passed on to offspring?"

Sunan shook his head and said, "It cannot. At most, it slightly optimizes the genes of your descendants, making their innate physique slightly stronger."

Neither the Bloodline Knight nor the Wizard Apprentice’s bloodline fusion is a perfect fusion, so it naturally cannot be passed down to descendants.

Truly perfect bloodline fusion requires a wizard to continuously develop the bloodline ability after fusion, activating the bloodline gene, and enhancing the bloodline ability to a level comparable to or even surpassing the bloodline’s original creature.

Only by reaching this level does the bloodline truly become an inseparable part of the gene, capable of being passed down to descendants through reproduction.

Therefore, the founders of every powerful bloodline wizard family must have been extraordinarily remarkable!

Upon hearing Sunan’s words, Kei felt a little disappointed.

But no matter what, it’s good to optimize the genes.

The family’s genes are gradually optimized and advanced from generation to generation; expecting to achieve it all at once in his generation is nothing but wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, Kei couldn’t help but sigh again.

Just two days ago, his twelve-year-old son underwent aptitude testing, but the results still did not pass.

So far, he has had more than ten children undergo testing, yet none have had the aptitude for becoming a wizard, which truly grieves him.

Could it be that the Yanest Clan’s wizard genes are that poor?

But that can’t be right, wasn’t Sunan, the continent’s only wizard, also from this family?

Could it be that his own wizard genes are just too poor?

"Are you thinking about the aptitude testing again?" Sunan patted Kei’s shoulder, "This kind of thing cannot be forced."

Sunan could roughly guess what Kei was thinking.

Strictly speaking, ’Sunan Yanest’ himself did not have the aptitude for being a wizard; otherwise, his predecessor wouldn’t have died from forcing himself to read beginner books, which unexpectedly benefited him.

His later advancement to a wizard was thanks to the magic cube.

Whether the Yanest Clan’s wizard genes are poor or not is unknown, but they are certainly not exceptional, just as ordinary as most families.

In fact, to date, except for the Russell Clan, there hasn’t been a single instance of a family with two wizard apprentices at the same time.

Perhaps a thousand years ago there were many wizard families, but over millennia, those families’ wizard genes have been eroded generation after generation, turning into the ordinary people of today.

Even the Russell Clan, besides actively marrying outside wizard apprentices, has also used some means to continue to this day.

According to what Sunan knows, the Russell Clan seems to have maintained a practice of close-relative marriages for over seven hundred years.

But with the increasing number of wizard apprentices, perhaps in a few hundred years, another second or third wizard family like the Russell Clan might emerge on the Starlight Continent.

...

Time flew by, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
