This Wizard is So Unscientific!

Previously, Tuck only used Spiritual Perception to acquire information from newspapers and pamphlets.

He had never used Spiritual Perception to read a vast amount of books.

Tuck was also not sure what significant role Spiritual Perception could play in acquiring knowledge of Wizard's Transcendent Study.

However, when Tuck formally began to study under the Necromancer Lord Aubrey,

he truly realized what Mr. Aubrey meant by saying that "Spiritual Perception" was a divine level wizard ability for learning.

It normally takes one or two months to finish reading a book on relevant knowledge.

In the learning process involving Spiritual Perception, Tuck could finish studying a book within one or two hours.

Moreover, by studying with Spiritual Perception, that knowledge, as if living, was stored in Tuck's mind.

Whenever Tuck needed information on any given topic,

[Precision] intersected perfectly with the knowledge learned through Spiritual Perception.

Tuck could almost instantaneously summon a vast amount of relevant knowledge with precision.

Furthermore, Tuck discovered something very peculiar.

That was, the knowledge he studied seemed to weave through the world like threads of a tapestry.

As he continued to study, the threads of knowledge grew incessantly.

Tuck knew that some [Wizard Scholars] possessed exclusive talents such as the "Memory Palace."

His knowledge network, although somewhat different from the Memory Palace,

should not be inferior in effect.

With a knowledge network that could accommodate a vast sea of information,

and the wizard ability to learn knowledge through touch,

Tuck began to absorb the fundamental knowledge of wizards like a sponge at a rapid pace.

Even the Necromancer Lord Aubrey was full of praise for him.

Through his conversations with Mr. Aubrey, Tuck learned

that wizard abilities like [Perception] were quite rare.

Beyond everyday studies,

Tuck was also continuously practicing all aspects of his witchcraft.

Even with system-assisted skill points,

mastering witchcraft on his own, flawlessly establishing interconnections between spells, and facing complex combat scenarios required practical and personal practice.

Tuck practiced his witchcraft.

The Black Rat Skeletons really suffered the consequences.

Fortunately, there were plenty of skeletons here.

The Black Rat Skeletons didn't reach the point where Tuck's hunting caused an ecological collapse.

Days passed by day by day.

Tuck's days were fruitful and steady.

After all, this was a growth phase that Tuck enjoyed the most.

The system continuously supplied him with "Origin Energy Experience" and "Talent Fragments."

In turn, he himself worked even harder.

His strength visibly increased every single day.

...

In the dark and silent depths of the Bone Cave,

a Black Rat Skeleton was happily scurrying through a pile of bones.

The sounds of its rib bones clinking against the skeletons rang out clearly.

These skeletons would automatically absorb Origin Energy in their environment.

All they needed to do was to extract the converted undead Origin Energy from the bones.

Suddenly,

the Black Rat Skeleton shivered violently.

It sensed a terrifying and frightening presence ahead.

It was as if countless members of its kind had perished at the hands of that terrible being.

Even more, it faintly sniffed the scent of death, laden with the cries of its kin.

"Quick... run..."

The biological instinct of the Black Rat Skeleton urged it to flee swiftly from that terrifying entity.

"It's quite fast at running,"

murmured Tuck from atop the bones, glancing at the Black Rat Skeleton, which had just stuck its head out and had been scared away.

"The transcendent ecology of the underground world possesses the [Hunting] attribute!"

"While I can obtain Origin Energy Experience by killing Black Rat Skeletons,"

"correspondingly, my own presence has accumulated the death attribute of the Black Rat Skeletons through [Hunting], which scares those weaker Black Mice away from me."

Tuck had previously been curious about why the Black Mice had begun to fear him.

But it was only after Tuck had learned the fundamental knowledge [Transcendent Ecology Chapter] of wizards,

did he come to understand.

In this small ecosystem,

he had hunted so many Black Mice that he almost became their "natural predator."

Afterward, Tuck withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to what was in front of him.

At that moment, in front of Tuck, there was a horse lamp without a wick.

And in Tuck's hand was a chicken egg-sized, radiantly glowing small sphere.

This small sphere was the initial structure that Tuck built—the Sculpting Light Spear.

"The essence of the Sculpting Light Spear is to gather the power of light through witchcraft incantations and then form a Light Spear."

"I don't need to form a Light Spear. Forming a tiny ball of light is also viable."

"Besides, it's obvious that the ball form has a higher stability and the spell loop was completed effortlessly."

"It can last for about three days."

"If the amount released during condensation is lower, it could last six or seven days with no problems."

"I surely did not skimp on investing Origin Energy Experience for this spherical form."

"Now, I can finally see some returns."

Tuck stretched out his arms, giving his body a brief respite from the long sitting.

In Ashen Land, being able to carry a stable and easily made 'light source' is far too important.

The Fire Oil Bullet was previously Tuck's means of creating a light source.

But it was easily extinguished.

The "Spear of Shaping Light - Ball," imbued with Holy Breath, is in itself an extremely strong two-star offensive spear.

Its potency is such that it can pierce through Second Rank Transcendent Living Wood Armor as well as the body of a Second Rank Transcendent Hunter.

It would be very difficult to destroy it.

Placing the "Spear of Shaping Light - Ball" inside a horse lamp.

The light imbued with Holy Breath is released through the lamp in the form of a six-panel glass structure.

The entire horse lamp looks like a luminous hexagram.

Integrating spells with daily life is Tuck's habit and direction for using witchcraft.

As a Wizard, not using witchcraft on a daily basis,

Waiting until battle to do so.

Practicing witchcraft on the spot, right!

That's too abstract!

Using it daily, letting the patterns of witchcraft infiltrate one's very bones.

This is how a Wizard should be.

Standing up,

Feeling the emptiness of the drained Source Pool, Tuck felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

He had been continuously condensing the Sculpting Light Spear here.

Tuck's Origin Energy was now completely depleted.

"A 12th level Wizard's Source Pool is, after all, not big enough, and doesn't hold enough Origin Energy," Tuck shook his head.

"As a Wizard, lacking endurance, just won't do!"

"Here at the Undead Tower, I'm safe and can recover Origin Energy quickly."

"That's why I can use Source Energy so recklessly here."

"But outside, where Origin Energy is scarce, it would be dangerous."

"I need to hasten the development of the Original Dark Sea."

"I wonder how Mr. Aubrey has considered the matter I brought up to him before, about using the Undead Tower's Source Energy Pool for a while."

During his studies,

Tuck also hadn't forgotten the most important tasks at hand.

Developing the "Original Dark Sea."

Replacing the "Wizard's Ring Staff."

And the "Tower Energy Pool Baptism."

All these were key to improving Tuck's comprehensive strength.

Among them, the development of the Original Dark Sea and the Tower Energy Pool Baptism could entirely coincide.

Upon reaching the Undead Tower,

From afar, Tuck could see masses of Undead Crows perched densely upon the Tower's skeletal railings.

However, as Tuck approached, and the light shone,

Caw caw caw...

Flocks of Undead Crows screeched, flapping their wings and taking off.

But among the many, one did not fly away.

"Mr. Aubrey!"

Tuck stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the Undead Crow that remained.

"Come to the Tower's great hall."

The voice of Aubrey resonated from the body of the Undead Crow.

Tuck's heart stirred slightly.

"Yes!"

"Also..."

The Undead Crow glanced at the horse lamp in Tuck's hand.

"Your Spear of Shaping Light is quite well crafted. No need to practice here anymore!"

Tuck stiffened for a moment,

Then he realized that he had been directing the power of Light straight at Lord Aubrey's face.

Quickly, Tuck dissipated the Spear of Shaping Light - Ball.

"Sorry, Mr. Aubrey, I was overzealous in my practice, please forgive me," Tuck apologized earnestly.

"Hmm!"

The Undead Crow nodded slightly, accepting Tuck's apology.

"Come up!"

The moment Aubrey's power withdrew,

The Undead Crow shot up, shrieking pitifully and fleeing the spot.

The Holy Light almost ignited it.

Tuck rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and stepped into the Undead Tower.
