Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots

This signifies that the overall potential of the Black Wizard profession exceeds that of all current profession advancement information he’s aware of.

Even higher than the Two and a Half Stars of [Wizard - Unknown Direction] and [Magic Swordsman].

”The transfer conditions mentioned Sin Domain Black Crystal,”

Ron pondered: ”It was precisely the kind of critical medium mentioned in the book today.”

He continued browsing, finding more detailed information about professional traits:

[Main Abilities of Black Wizards:

Erosion Magic, Pollution Perception, Awakened Body, Whispers of the Stars (using this ability accelerates spiritual contamination accumulation)]

Ron could not help but feel a little tempted.

These abilities are indeed powerful, especially the traits of Erosion Magic, which is able to bypass conventional defenses and directly attack the opponent’s spiritual weaknesses.

However, the next piece of information made him alert again:

[Additional Information: Black Wizard profession differs from conventional professions; they do not need to hone related skills, mainly relying on raising the Awakening Level to advance.

Every 10% increase in the Awakening Level unlocks a new ability branch but also exacerbates personality distortion.

-10% Awakening Level: Basic erosion ability, slight personality change

-30% Awakening Level: Enhanced erosion ability, moderate personality distortion, emotional extremity

-50% Awakening Level: High-tier erosion ability, severe personality collapse, nearly losing all positive emotions

-70% Awakening Level: Deep erosion ability, complete personality distortion, retaining only the most basic rational thinking

-100% Awakening Level: Can advance to become an ”Apostle”, completely surpassing human limitations

”This is not a path I can take right now...”

Ron finally concluded, ”Even though advancing through the profession panel might be safer than direct awakening, it essentially results in the loss of self.”

He was about to close the profession panel, but then saw an additional piece of information:

[Special Tip: Dual Soul talent may to some extent resist personality distortion, but cannot completely eliminate this effect.

The final result depends on the user’s willpower and choice]

This information set Ron deep in thought.

The Dual Soul talent indeed might provide some buffer, but the risk remains immense.

Perhaps when he acquires some ”rare artifacts” related to spiritual protection in the future, he might have a chance to try.

After closing the profession panel, Ron took out the Time Guardian Pocket Watch.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a vine reach out, with Ailan’s leaf writing board appearing on it:

”Master, Miss Trish is visiting.”

Ron stood up alertly, cautiously walking to the window.

In the twilight, he saw a familiar figure moving towards the workshop door—it was Trish.

Why was she appearing here at this time?

Ron quickly went downstairs and, as expected, found the girl with brown hair, typically dressed casually, in the reception room.

”Sorry to disturb you so late.”

Trish said softly, a rare nervous expression on her face:

”But I have something important to tell you.”

Ron noticed her breathing was somewhat rapid, her hair slightly damp, clearly having rushed over.

”Come in and talk.” He stepped aside to make way.

Trish swiftly entered the room, glanced around, and only spoke in a low voice after confirming no one else was present:

”The Master spoke to me tonight, pointing out a series of strange events recently, seemingly related to the ’Black Wizards Revival.’

Ron’s heart skipped a beat, ”Black Wizards Revival?”

”Yes,” Trish nodded, a trace of worry flickering in her eyes:

”There’s been a secret Black Wizards group in the central area of the Ring Abyss Continent Group, calling themselves the ’Eye of the Abyss,’ following a mysterious entity known as the ’Lord of Paradise.’ The Law Enforcement Team responsible for this issue in the school believes Cynthia’s disappearance is related to this group, and...”

She hesitated noticeably, ”Oliver might very well be one of their peripheral members.”

Ron wasn’t too surprised by this news, considering what he had read earlier in the day and his observations of Oliver’s condition. It all made sense.

”Why would Mistress Corina tell you this?” Ron asked cautiously.

Trish took a deep breath:

”She said I might be one of their targets. Three days ago, the Law Enforcement Team discovered a hidden cave while searching the Edge Forest, inside...”
