Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience Chapter 527 - 22: Advanced Rune Power

Misty Forest, Guardian Tower.

In the wide and spacious laboratory, Lynch was busy at the experint table.

The long table was filled with all kinds of strange experintal materials, all of which were inscribed with complex runes.

While continuing the experint, Lynch glanced at the data panel.

[High-level Rune Structure Alpha Configuration max]

[High-level Rune Structure Beta Configuration max]

[High-level Rune Structure Sigma Configuration max]

...

The rune knowledge categories acquired from Fat Blue had all been upgraded to max level.

These were advanced rune knowledge that Lynch had never encountered before, and their complexity and mystery had elevated Lynch’s related rune knowledge level by an entire tier.

With this abundance of new rune knowledge, Lynch’s advancent in Rune Power was finally starting to be possible.

[Rune Power Level 0: 32686/50000] (Second Rank Middle Level)

On the data panel, a new entry for Rune Power appeared, indicating it was at Second Rank Middle Level, a whole tier higher than before.

The energy limit for Second Rank Lower Tier could only reach 300 degrees, so what about the limit for Second Rank Middle Level?

Let’s wait and see!

Lynch grabbed a corpse and placed it flat on the experint table, beginning his attempt to advance his Rune Power.

This was the corpse of a Split Claw Bear, specially treated, with skin tough as demonized leather. In life, this Magic Beast had notable magic resistance, and now it beca an excellent vessel for his new knowledge.

"Rustle!"

The Rune Pen danced over the corpse, leaving behind streaks of azure marks.

With every imperceptible flick of his wrist, the arcane crystal core enhanced by high-level runes at the pen tip projected a beam of condensed, substantive stream of light.

This light was no longer the previous dark blue but exhibited a more complex, profound liquid gold hue, with faint ebbs of the unique spiral patterns of the recently mastered Alpha Configuration and energy node glimrs of the Sigma Configuration.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The energy beam descended, no longer a simple imprint but a microcosmic level energy weaving.

The golden stream of light flowed like a living entity, precisely along the prearranged, incredibly complex rune array tracks on the bear’s skin, "flowing" and "weaving."

Each crossing, each turn, ca with extrely subtle spatial ripples and magic sparks.

Lynch’s gaze was sharp as an eagle’s, his spiritual power highly focused, monitoring every trace of energy flow and the pressure balance at the nodes. He even, at crucial energy hubs, used floating micro spiritual power probes as his surgical tools to make real-ti adjustnts to the vortices within the nodes.

The complexity of the high-level rune structure far surpassed the past. The Beta Configuration provided an energy frawork supporting the entire system, the Sigma Configuration was responsible for efficient conduction and compression of energy, and the Alpha Configuration endowed the rune array with powerful stability and impact resistance.

They nested and interwove with each other, forming a three-dinsional energy network more compact and mysterious than before, deeply embedded in the Magic Beast’s resilient muscle tissue and residual magic loop.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

With the final stroke, the entire rune array suddenly lit up! It was no longer a blinding outburst but a deep, restrained dark golden glow akin to a molten core.

This light flowed and pulsed across the bear corpse’s surface, emitting a heavy, power-laden buzz. The air in the laboratory seed to freeze, even the eternal background hum was suppressed by this stronger force field.

Lynch took a deep breath, calming himself.

He raised his right hand, fingers spread, palm aid at the core node of the rune array.

This ti, his spiritual power did not force its way in but transford into nurous precise "fuses" and "stabilizing anchors," carefully and stepwise lighting and activating the entire network.

"Zzz... buzz..."

With the activation, the bear’s muscles suddenly tensed, expanded, and the tough leather skin bulged with pronounced lines from the surging energy underneath, emitting a teeth-gnashing taut sound. The dark golden rune light surged stably, without any sign of collapse.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

The alarm of the nearby Alchemy Energy Detector sounded again, but this ti it wasn’t a rapid bursting, but a continuous, high-pitched buzzing! The tal needle swung wildly to the right like a runaway horse!

degrees!

degrees!

degrees!

degrees!

The needle ultimately trembled violently, fixated firmly near the 700-degree mark! Far surpassing the previous limits!

However, just as Lynch’s eyes caught a fleeting glimr of light—

"Crack... snap!"

It wasn’t the skin fracturing, but the stout bones inside the bear’s body groaning under intolerable stress!

Though the skin, tough as demonized leather, wasn’t torn by the energy, the supporting bone structure of the Magic Beast had started to crack under the pure energy pressure far exceeding its lifeti limits! The dark golden rune light began flickering unstably, and from the core node of the energy network erged uncontrollable, dangerous incandescent sparks!

"Woo—!"

The beeping of the Energy Detector abruptly heightened, the needle violently jumping, pointing to the edge of 750 degrees!

"Is this the limit?"

Lynch rubbed his chin, his spiritual power burst instantly; he no longer attempted to maintain or elevate it but forcibly guided it!

"Constrain! Dissipate!"

The invisible Spiritual Field clamped inward like a giant hand! The energy-absorbing runes inscribed at the edge of the experint table instantly glowed, forming a strong gravitational vortex.

At the sa ti, Lynch guided the rampant energy flow along a prearranged safe dissipation path—a few rune conduits connected to massive underground crystal clusters—to pour out frenziedly!

"Sss—boom!!!"

An eye-searing platinum energy torrent rushed into the conduit like an angry dragon, causing the entire laboratory to tremble! The underground crystal cluster at the conduit’s end instantly lit up, emitting dazzling light, producing unbearable cracking sounds as a lot of magic power was forcibly converted, absorbed, and neutralized.

The bear corpse on the table convulsed violently a few tis, the dark golden glow receded like a tide, exposing the charred, partially charred skin and twisted bones, but ultimately... it did not explode.

Thin wisps of smoke rose from the conduit opening and the bear corpse. The laboratory was filled with the pungent sll of char and ozone. The heart-pounding buzz and beep vanished, leaving only the faint "crackling" sound of cooling crystals post-energy overload, and Lynch’s slightly heavy breathing.

He slowly lowered his hand, looking at the charred and deford but largely intact bear corpse on the experint table, and the all too glaring "750" peak value reading on the Energy Detector. He reached out with his fingers, unconsciously pinching the scorching energy dust remaining on the rune pen tip.

Lynch tapped lightly on the cold surface of the experint table with his fingertip.

"Seven hundred and fifty degrees... bone strength, residual interference from the Magic Beast’s own magic loop, the instantaneous energy overload at the core node..."

Rubbing his temples, a hint of excitent appeared in Lynch’s eyes.

Although there’s still a considerable distance to the threshold of the secret skill, there’s been a noticeable improvent compared to before.

The road ahead remains long and arduous, but at least this ti, he already saw a clear ladder he could continue to climb.
