This is the reason why the wizard profession does not need to hunt for "extraordinary traits" themselves, as the "mysterious source" grants a magical "substance" mixed with extraordinary traits and some knowledge.

However.

The earliest humans did not refer to it as "extraordinary traits," instead it was named by ancient wizards as "Touchstone," "The Fifth Element," "Universal Elixir: Asot."

And the process of the wizard's "soul ascension" is called—"Golden Touch!"

Whoosh—

Wind swept through the consciousness space.

Then this magical substance seemed to be planted like a seed into Aiven's consciousness sea, and gradually dispersed.

It transformed into a warm energy that permeated the entire body, slowly integrating with Aiven's soul, brain, heart, and every cell through the imaginary Life Tree in the consciousness sea.

It felt like returning to the womb, the most pure, natural, and comfortable state.

It was like a seed deeply buried in soil, sprouting vibrant life from the deepest part of the heart.

Meanwhile.

In the verdant giant tree supporting Aiven's entire consciousness sea world, the previously illuminated lower three original essences easily broke through their original invisible boundaries.

Even lighting up the seventh original essence "Victory," which requires sufficient accumulation and a spiritual power index of at least 1.66.

And the "Life Tree" in Aiven's consciousness sea suddenly solidified, transforming into a real tree, even showing some shadows of the red fir he planted in the "mysterious source."

Solid, majestic, warm, reliable, inclusive...

It felt like someone struggling in the sea finally stepped onto a boat, gaining a foundation to stand on, a sense of solidness brought by the qualitative change in power.

Some peculiar mysterious knowledge also flowed into Aiven's mind, runes, techniques, curses... new abilities were gradually analyzed before Aiven.

"That is the foundational knowledge for the school's official wizard and... an extra magic-like ability: Activated Spiritual Light!"

In the eyes of Milan and Gary, who were "Dharma Protectors" nearby, they saw Aiven's body lying on the ground seemingly supported by a light blue current, slowly curling into the shape of a fetus in a womb.

Green and red extraordinary spiritual light poured out from his body.

The light expanded and contracted with the rhythmic and strong heartbeat.

In this mountain cove originally surrounded by the Spiritual Barrier and Barrier Wall, a sudden strong wind swept through, and the originally flat stone ground beneath Aiven began to gently undulate like water.

Besides, the surrounding trees, though not turning verdant like when Angie transformed her meditation method, still gave Milan and Gary a different feeling.

"Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale..."

Even though it was a desolate island, it was filled at this moment with the clean and fresh atmosphere of a post-rain mountain forest, and both of them couldn't help but take deep breaths.

At the same time.

Through the mysterious link forged by the contract.

The owl Becky left on the ship by Aiven and Kaka, who've separated from the shadow, were simultaneously enveloped by a group of extraordinary spiritual light, strengthening their bodies, enlightening their wisdom... sublimating subtly but profoundly.

This essential transformation from soul to body lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually ceasing.

Plop...

Aiven touched the ground with both feet and slowly opened his eyes.

His appearance had not changed much, his posture was tall and his outlines perfect, his skin glowed with a lucent white light from within, without a trace of blemish throughout his body.

The greater changes, however, were internal.

His senses, already extremely acute, were elevated to another level at this moment.

A faint spiritual light gleamed in Aiven's eyes, allowing him to perceive everything in front of him clearly even in the dead of night; the veins on fallen leaves a hundred meters away seemed as clear as if held in his palm.

His ears twitched slightly, and he heard insects preparing for winter gnawing on wood in the tree trunks.

Moreover.

Even with his eyes closed, he could vaguely sense where the fir trees were located on this island, even feeling a faint resonance with them.

With a gentle fist clench, the air still thundered, but Aiven could feel a familiar yet strange new force flowing tenderly inside.

That is the extraordinary "magic power" which has become tangible, visible, and touchable following the soul ascension after the rank upgrade!

Unlike the magic power at the apprentice stage, no matter how strong, which was only rooted in one's spiritual radiance, the current magic power truly belongs to the official wizard as authentic extraordinary energy.

Every inhale and exhale resonates with external "magic elements," ready to create mysterious miracles beyond human capabilities!

The power compared to the past has undergone an exponential increase.

And this also means that Aiven's advancement ceremony has been completely accomplished!

Name: Aiven Galliot

Gender: Male

Military Rank: Lieutenant Commander (Level 3 Battleship "Storm Horn")

Tier: Peak Official Knight/Official Wizard

Attributes: Constitution 4.99, Strength 4.99, Agility 4.99, Spiritual Power 2.1.

Skills: White Sail Swordsmanship (Half-step Master), Witchcraft (Mastery, Vigoration, Magic Potion, Wild Talisman-making, Activated Plants, Activated Spiritual Light...)

Extraordinary Items:

Golden Compass, Magic Pocket, Sword Staff, Bloody Lake Light, Iron Cross Medal, Wild Talisman (Various), Magic Potion (Various)

Ocean Treasure: Mist Silver Lamp, Ghost Cloak

Ship's Figurehead: Monsoon Goddess

Clearly, with the wizard's advancement, Aiven, who had rich accumulation (ample supplements), directly pushed his spiritual power index past 2.

Moreover, as a precise whole, his physical qualities have surpassed the theoretical perfect limit created by Holy Baptismal Water, even Gary, who possesses Innate Divine Power, cannot match Aiven at this level in the area of strength, where he excels.

The three attributes are thoroughly balanced, with no weaknesses or shortcomings!

However.

Despite having successfully advanced, Aiven still needs to study and research various unique witchcrafts corresponding to the official wizard stage to ultimately form battle strength matching his rank.

Nonetheless, as an unexpected delight from this advancement, the [Magic-like Technique: Activated Spiritual Light] does not require such trouble; it's a naturally acquired ability just like breathing or eating.

He gently uttered a syllable full of vitality, almost seeming to bring stones to life:

acti——

Magical spiritual light flickered at his fingertips, and with a casual wave, a gust of wind arose, sweeping away dust and fallen leaves on the ground once more.

The action range is only three meters, and its power is limited, maybe it can flip an ordinary person, but in battle with someone of the same level, it would at most be disruptive.

It could make life more convenient, like... not needing hands to bathe?

However.

Finally, having attained his own magic-like ability like Angie and Milan, without needing to consume witchcraft materials or prepare in advance, as long as there still is magic capability, it can always be used, was indeed a marvelous surprise.

After experimenting on his own several times.

He discovered the magic-like ability was more than that.

It should be an advance granted portion of the "Activated Dead" ability possessed by a Tier 3 Grand Wizard, albeit a preliminary cut version with limited influence.

For instance, it can mildly affect non-living bodies or change material forms, allowing them to gain temporary vitality like elemental creatures, with changes continuing after the spell wears off.

Achieving an effect akin to altering material form indirectly.

Including the ubiquitous wind, sand, water... even steel, the denser the material, the slower the speed, extraordinary items are ineffective.

It can even affect oneself, injecting the body with excess vitality, achieving temporary "overclocking" capability.

Analogous to a CPU from Aiven's previous life, the standard marking at release usually contains a certain surplus.

Meaning a CPU marked at 2500MHZ could likely run stably at 3500MHZ; "overclocking" operations can be conducted to unveil these latent surpluses.

In Aiven's view, this might be the most valuable current application of "Activated Spiritual Light."

However, regardless.

Having taken a step to become an official wizard, the world before Aiven has transformed utterly!
