Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 758 - 347: A Sword Is No Mere Inconvenience! (Part 2)

"This is also why I place my hope on you; your current display of rationality may potentially surpass Cassandra, of course only if you can maintain it..."

Ron absorbed these words in silence, sharpening his insight into the road lying ahead.

"I will remember your warning."

He confronted Uther’s inquiry without hesitation:

"For me, technology is merely a tool, conquest merely a means. The real goal is exploring the essence of knowledge."

"Very good."

Uther nodded approvingly, the light of his spectral form intensifying once more:

"Based on my previous promise, I will authorize small-scale trials at the observation station. But remember, any haste can be fatal."

The elderly professor's voice shifted back to gravity:

"Moreover, simulating active traits of the Abyss requires extra caution. The contamination of these traits is very strong, and if they get out of control..."

"I will establish a three-tier isolation system."

Ron replied with brevity:

"Complete isolation on physical, energy, and spirit levels."

"Start from the smallest scale and gradually expand. Conduct full assessments before every experiment."

Uther offered further guidance:

"Additionally, if any abnormality is discovered during the experiment...even the minutest sign, all operations must be immediately halted."

"I certainly understand."

With nostalgia in his eyes, the old professor regarded Ron:

"Seeing you now, I seem to see the hopeful youthful faces of those students again..."

His tone drifted further away:

"Time flies, most of them have already disappeared into the river of history.

Some met accidental ends, others succumbed to the lure of power, and some...embarked on entirely divergent paths."

"Only a very few managed to preserve their original aspirations against time's relentless tide."

Uther’s apparition started fading into translucence:

"The promise I made to you still stands. If you can consistently stick to your path, without being confused by external distractions...Selena’s Void Remains, the Key of the Chaotic Blood World, and the Throne Seed...all these will assist you on your journey forward."

"I will not disappoint you, professor."

Ron vowed with utmost sincerity:

"No matter how powerful I become, the original intention to explore knowledge will not change."

......

Amid the enveloping darkness of night, Ron returned solo to his secluded laboratory.

A profound sense of fulfillment welled within him from securing Uther’s endorsement.

Indeed, his research path now bore official validation, complete with vital backing.

"Master, you’ve returned."

A soft voice rang out as a verdant shape glided from the shadows:

"Judging by your expression, today’s presentation must have been successful?"

"Better than expected."

Ron responded curtly, proceeding to tidy the materials atop the desk:

"The project has been approved, and we can start trial operations the day after tomorrow."

At this announcement, Ailan’s tendrils shivered faintly, a spontaneous sign of her exhilaration:

"Such an important breakthrough definitely calls for a celebration."

Joy overflowed in her voice, surpassing even Ron’s own delight:

"Master, please wait a moment, I’ll prepare some special food. The observation station’s storage room has plenty of Abyss specialties, I can just try some new cooking methods."

"No need to trouble yourself."

Ron lifted his gaze to his aide, infusing his words with uncommon tenderness:

"Keep it simple."

"It’s not troublesome at all."

Ailan swayed her limbs gracefully:

"Being busy for the master is my greatest joy. Besides, I’ve recently learned some new techniques for handling Abyss ingredients, I can just test their effect."

With those words, the Tree Spirit darted to the compact kitchen zone and commenced her lively preparations.

Ron persisted in sorting the day’s discoveries, his mind slowly turning to another vital undertaking.

The notion of the Active Demon Sword.

This concept originated from his apprentice era in the Black Mist Jungle.

During those days, freshly acquainted with Alchemy and the Black Wizard’s way, he brimmed with naive longing for blending diverse professions.

The rudimentary plan was straightforward: craft a weapon that harmonized with his bloodline.

And experiment with diverse arcane materials to determine if contamination isolation and refinement proved feasible.

As his knowledge deepened and views widened, the idea underwent constant refinement.

Evolving from the basic spark to energy shielding trials and Soul Steel fusion, up to the present full ignition of the Active Demon Sword...

Every surge in abilities and power milestones unlocked fresh horizons for this endeavor.

Yet in Ron’s vision, the sword transcended any mere cumbersome implement.

He craved far beyond an ordinary magic sword—a supreme weapon adaptable to shape-shifting, autonomous evolution, corruption shielding...and beyond.

Solely forging it by hand fell disastrously short of such feats, yet providence delivered a prime specimen right now...

"Thinking back, acquiring the Stand-In Puppet was a turning point for this plan."

Ron contemplated the project’s progression:

"It not only has all the basic traits I need, more importantly, it is rapidly growing in a perfect environment."

The bidirectional connection’s reports indicated the puppet’s phenomenal evolution under Nari’s nurturing.

The sonic manipulation prowess from the Echo Whale’s heart;

The temporal perception gifted by the Time Vine’s sprout;

The mind dominion promise held in the Dream Realm Crystal...
