Ron undergoes a magic test in a specialized training room, but his attempt to cast a basic spell, the 'Ring of Brilliance,' goes awry. His multiple bloodlines and densely compressed magic power interfere with the spell's formation, causing it to explode. Professor Uther explains that Ron's powers are like an un-rehearsed orchestra, with conflicting forces vying for control, leading to energy overload and dangerous switch latency.

"Next, we will use the ’Separation Control’ training method."

Uther retrieved several rune stones emitting a special glow from the storage space:

"These are the ’Bloodline Suppression Runes’, capable of temporarily blocking the activity of specific bloodline sources. We’ll first have you learn to use each power individually, and then gradually integrate them."

The rune stones were placed precisely at specific locations on Ron’s body.

When the first rune was activated, he immediately felt the chaotic sheep head bloodline activity sharply decrease.

The energy fluctuation filled with variables and possibilities within him gradually calmed, replaced by the pure dominance of the Thunderfire Tyrant bloodline.

"Now try to release the Ring of Brilliance, but this time, consciously guide the participation of the fire element."

Uther guided from the side:

"Do not resist the traits of the bloodline, but learn to collaborate with them."

In pure thunderfire mode, Ron began to reconstruct the magic.

This time, he did not attempt to suppress the interference of the dragon head bloodline, but actively guided the integration of fire and lightning.

The golden-red halo slowly formed in the air, with molten-like hot energy flowing within the ring structure.

More astonishingly, the edges of the halo jumped with fine arcs of electricity, adding a paralyzing effect to the entire magic.

"Very good, now try adjusting the fusion ratio of thunder and fire."

The next day’s training had Ron practicing elemental ratios from basic, just like during his apprenticeship.

When the lightning element dominated, the halo became sharper and more rapid, suitable for quick assaults;

When the fire dominated, the halo became heavy and lasting, suitable for siege warfare.

On the third day, the training shifted to chaos mode.

When the thunderfire bloodline was suppressed, and the chaotic sheep head bloodline became active again, the entire casting experience was completely different.

"The key to chaos power lies not in control, but in guidance."

Uther’s teaching style also changed, becoming more abstract and philosophical:

"You cannot force chaos to act according to your will, but you can provide it with direction and goals.

Imagine yourself as a gardener; you cannot control how plants grow, but you can prune the branches and guide the direction."

In pure chaos mode, Ron released the Ring of Brilliance anew.

This time, the magic displayed entirely different traits.

The halo’s shape was no longer regular but was constantly transforming.

Sometimes it was circular, sometimes polygonal, and sometimes it even split into several small rings before reassembling.

Curiously, this seemingly chaotic change could adapt to different tactical needs.

When facing moving targets, the halo would automatically adjust its trajectory;

Facing defenses, it would find weak points to penetrate.

The focus of the fourth day’s training was ’Directional Distortion.’

To make chaos power affect only designated targets, without impacting surrounding objects.

Such precise control posed a great challenge to chaos power.

After numerous failures, Ron finally found the knack:

"The key is to establish ’boundaries,’ not to restrict the spread of chaos, but to provide it with clear ’options for change.’ To let it know what ’can be changed’ and what ’should not be changed.’"

"Today’s training ends here."

Just as he was gradually reaching a state of flow, late at night, Professor Uther shut down the various monitoring equipment in the training room, the glow of the void remains contrastingly dim at the control console:

"You need to rest, let your body adapt to this new control mode."

But as Ron was about to leave, the old professor did not follow towards the door.

He stood silently at the center of the training room, silver eyes gazing in a distant direction, as if contemplating some important decision.

"Ron."

Uther’s voice echoed in the spacious training room:

"Before you head to Vinard, I think we should have a ... deeper conversation."

This statement stirred something in Ron’s heart.

The old professor’s tone had a hint of farewell.

"About what, Professor?"

"About the true workings of this world."

Uther moved back towards the control panel, but this time it was not to adjust the training equipment, but to activate a hidden door deep within the room:

"About the truth of the Wizard’s path, about the higher realm of the world you are about to enter."

The door slowly opened, revealing a hidden chamber unknown to Ron.

The interior was extremely simple, with just two primitive wooden chairs and a round table.

But the most striking feature was the astonishing star map on the chamber’s dome.

Unlike an ordinary observatory star map, this one was alive.

Countless stars slowly rotated in the void, each emitting unique light and energy fluctuations.

Ron could feel that this wasn’t merely decoration, more like a mysterious device truly connected to distant star domains.

"This is the core chamber of the observatory."

Uther seated himself in one of the chairs, his movements revealing deep fatigue:

"Only the head and deputy heads have the authority to enter. Today, as the soon-to-be retiring head, I invite you here."

Ron sat in the other chair, feeling the large energy fluctuations emanating from the dome’s star map.

The light from the stars cast complex shadows on him, akin to the setup of some ancient ritual.

"First, let us review the knowledge you have already mastered."

Uther’s teacher instincts led him to start from the basics:

"As an astrologer, you should understand the foundational knowledge of astrology."
