"It's not small at all!" Dale stood with her hands on her hips, disgruntled:

"I've already defeated so many strong opponents in the arena!"

Lilia chuckled softly, reaching out to tidy Dale's tousled silver hair:

"In terms of combat ability, you are indeed strong. But the body's development follows its own rules, you can't rush it."

Dale pouted, unconvinced, but quickly replaced it with a sly smile:

"Lily sister, do you wish that our master would notice your beautiful body more?"

Lilia's face turned red instantly, the blush spreading to her ears as she waved her hands in panic:

"What nonsense are you talking about! The teacher is my guide, I have only respect and gratitude for him!"

"Really?"

A mischievous glint flashed in Dale's eyes as she exaggerated her usual tone mimicking Lilia's voice:

"'Teacher, do you need hot water?'

'Teacher, this dish has your favorite herbs.'

'Teacher, I have washed and ironed your robe.'

Lilia, both embarrassed and annoyed, scooped up water to splash at Dale:

"You naughty girl! Say that again and I won't help wash your hair anymore!"

Dale dodged nimbly, giggling:

"Lily sister is blushing! Blushing!"

She spun in the water, the splashes like a string of pearls:

"I see Lily sister always sneaks a few extra glances at him whenever she hands something to the master!"

Lilia sighed, smiling helplessly:

"Dale, the teacher is very good to us, I'm just trying to repay his guidance to the best of my ability."

Her voice softened, a touch of warmth in her eyes:

"Without him, I wouldn't know what fate awaited me. He gave me the opportunity to learn and see my own value."

Dale suddenly quieted down, swam over to Lilia, and gently leaned on her shoulder:

"The master is very good to us. He saved my life and taught me so many skills, making me this strong."

The little Sea Siren's voice suddenly took on a tinge of melancholy:

"But, it seems like the master never needs anyone's help; he's always researching alone late into the night."

Lilia gently stroked Dale's wet silver hair, her voice tender and firm:

"That's why we have to do our best to help him with those everyday chores, so he can focus on the truly important research."

There was a hint of determination in her eyes:

"I believe the teacher has aspirations beyond the ordinary, and what we can do is support him as best as we can in our roles."

Dale nodded thoughtfully, then returned to her usual lively self:

"But Lily sister, if the master needs a partner, would you be willing?"

Lilia's face flushed again; she hurriedly grabbed a sponge, changing the subject:

"Alright, stop saying that, let me help clean the bloodstains off your back!"

Dale laughed triumphantly but obediently turned around, still muttering:

"Lily sister is shy, Lily sister is shy..."

With water splashing and laughter echoing in the bathroom...

Meanwhile, on the other side, once Ron confirmed he was alone in the room, he headed straight for the deepest part of the second-floor laboratory.

This was a special room protected by multiple isolation arrays, specifically used for those absolutely confidential experiments.

He carefully checked the integrity of the array, ensuring there were no tiny breaches or energy leaks.

For the upcoming ceremony involving his most core abilities' advancement, he could not afford the slightest mistake.

The array runes were activated one by one, each precisely embedded into its preset position, forming a perfect energy loop.

Ron's fingers lightly traced through the air, his spiritual power flowing precisely into each node like water.

When the last protective rune lit up, the entire room was enveloped in a layer of pale blue energy film, completely isolating it from the outside world.

He could feel the subtle energy fluctuations as the array activated, like an invisible net blocking out all external energy disturbances.

Subsequently, he began to activate the Transformer Skin which had already charged to 100%.

At this moment, the Transformer Skin was no longer the dull silvery-grey liquid he had initially acquired but had a lustrous sheen like molten moonlight, flowing and changing.

"Are you sure the advancement process won't generate noticeable energy fluctuations?"

Ron asked in a low voice, caution in his tone, brows slightly furrowed, fully vigilant.

After all, it was the core area within the school, any unusual energy fluctuations might attract unnecessary trouble.

The Transformer's voice echoed in his mind:

"Master need not worry. The advancement process mainly occurs on the soul level and will not produce externally perceivable energy fluctuations. Moreover, with the protection of these isolation arrays, even if there's slight energy leakage, it won't be detected by the outside."

Ron pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Then, let's begin."

He sat cross-legged, placing the Transformer Skin in his palm.

The silver liquid gleamed with an eerie light under the candlelight, as if something inside it was awakening.

It no longer lay quietly there but actively flowed across Ron's palm, as if it had a life of its own.

Ron took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing rhythm to calm his heartbeat.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, carefully extending his spiritual power to establish a connection with the Transformer Skin.

As his spiritual power delved deeper, he could feel the astounding energy contained within the Transformer Skin.

It was an ancient and profound force, like a dragon long asleep finally opening its eyes.

The energy was complex and ever-changing, yet it possessed an indescribable order and beauty.

"Can we start?"

Ron finally confirmed, his voice calm, but his Spiritual Power already tinged with a cautious anticipation.

"Ready to start at any time, Master."

The Transformer responded, its mechanical tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation:

"Once started, the process cannot be interrupted. Please ensure you have enough time reserved. I must remind you that once the advancement is complete, I will be deeply bonded with you, which is a necessary process preset for the subsequent upgrade to 'Exclusive Weapon.' Please be prepared accordingly."

Upon hearing this, Ron gently closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let his consciousness sink deep:

"Begin!"

In that instant, it was as if lightning pierced through his entire being.

An invisible torrent of energy erupted from the skin of the Transformer, surging directly into the depths of Ron's soul.

This was not ordinary Magic Power or Spiritual Power; it was a more elemental energy, acting directly at the soul level.

He could feel every inch of his Spiritual Space being washed by this energy, like a long-dry riverbed suddenly welcoming a mountain flood.

Initially, the sensation was both painful and wonderful, indescribable.

But as the process deepened, the pain gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and acuteness.

His range of perception began to expand rapidly, not only able to sense every cell in his body but also able to detect the tiniest energy fluctuations in the air.

Simultaneously, the skin of the Transformer underwent astonishing changes.

The silver liquid began to flow violently, writhing as if alive.

This energy fluctuation was extremely intense, like a silent gale raging in a confined space.

What was once just a piece of silver liquid now began to differentiate into countless tiny structures, like a miniature universe being born.

Each tiny structure had its specific function, interconnected, forming a perfect whole.

Ron could keenly perceive these changes, as if witnessing the creation of an artwork from nothing.

He could feel the connection between the skin of the Transformer and himself becoming more intimate, almost inseparable.

It was no longer just something attached to the surface of his skin but became a part of his body, like a special second skin, merging with the Essence of Life.

The process of advancement lasted an interminable time, yet it seemed just a moment.

When Ron finally opened his eyes, he found that only a few minutes had passed outside, but within him, earth-shattering changes had occurred.

[Advancement successfully completed:

Rare Artifact - Skin of the Transformer → Glory Legacy - Thousand Transformations]

[Thousand Transformations (Glory Legacy) Effect:

Perfect Isolation: Capable of forming triple Energy Barriers, isolating internal and external energy interactions

High Tier Simulation: Capable of simulating the appearance and partial abilities of a designated target, with enhanced simulation accuracy

Record (Active Ability): Consumes 1% energy to record a move, which can be released unidirectionally upon selection, but its power cannot be controlled by the self

Note: Can only record moves not exceeding two tiers above oneself, requiring close proximity to record

(Currently limited to Morning Star Level Mage or below)]

[Charging Progress: Current 0/100%

Special Note: Certain abilities will be unlocked again when the charge reaches 50%

Upon reaching a full charge of 100%, it can serve as a key item for advancing to an epic Profession (Four Stars) and evolve into an Exclusive Weapon]

Ron read the information on the panel carefully, each line making his heart race, various possibilities rapidly spreading in his mind.

"Perfect Isolation" was the most critical ability in his plan.

It would provide solid protection for his soul splitting plan, ensuring that there would be no energy leakage or interference during the division.

"High Tier Simulation" was an extremely practical ability, able to play a significant role whether used for hiding identity or integrating into specific environments.

The most surprising was undoubtedly the new active ability named "Record."

Being able to record and release others' moves meant he could directly use others' Skills, greatly expanding his combat options.

Although it had limitations—it could only record moves not exceeding two tiers above himself, and close contact was necessary to record them.

But this was already an extraordinarily powerful ability.

Ron immediately thought of an excellent application scenario:

Learning from Official Wizards willing to demonstrate spells during paid consultations and then secretly recording the powerful magic they cast.

"If I can record a high-power spell from an Official Wizard Level during each consultation, over time, I can have a powerful card deck."

Ron calculated in his mind, a glint passing through his eyes.

He tried to slightly mobilize the energy of the Thousand Transformations and immediately felt an unprecedented sense of control.

In the past, the skin of the Transformer was more like an external tool, needing to issue commands through intent and then wait for execution.

Now, the Thousand Transformations were like a part of his body, even more intimate than the body itself, no longer merely an attached relation, but more like a part connected by blood and flesh.

Just like his skin, muscles, bones, they became an inseparable part of his body.

Now, just a slight adjustment of thought, and the Thousand Transformations would respond immediately.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand, and with a gentle thought, the surface of his arm was immediately covered with a layer of silver sheen.

This sheen rapidly transformed, forming appearances of various materials—steel, wood, crystal, everything.

The speed of its changes, the accuracy of its forms, were far beyond what was possible before.

"Truly astonishing control precision."

Ron admired, as the past changes of the skin of the Transformer always had subtle unnatural parts.

But now, these changes could almost rival real materials, with even texture and feel perfectly matching.

He further tried, concentrated, recalled the sharp claws of the Scorpion.

The next moment, his fingers had transformed into claws identical to those of a Scorpion, even the patterns on them were nearly the same.

Ron lightly scratched the table, and the hard wooden surface immediately bore several deep grooves.

"The recording ability..."

He pondered this newly gained active ability and its potential uses:

"I can only record abilities not exceeding two tiers above mine, currently I can only record Apprentice and Morning Star Mage level moves."
