Chapter 262: Chapter 56 There is no fastest, only more ruthless 1
Wait a minute.
What1 s happening?
As he was thinking, Link suddenly felt something was wrong with his body.
It was as if a cold fire was starting to burn from the soles of his feet, trying to bore into his flesh.
Quickly, Link realized this is the initial stage of the Life Essence Transition, the process of strengthening his physical body.
Metaphorically speaking, the strengthening refers to purification.
First, a ‘fire’ permeates the blood, flesh and bones, followed by pressure coming from all directions like countless hammers, forging his body into fine steel, subjected to both the fire’s heat and the force’s brutality, leading to a qualitative improvement.
“Is the Life Essence Transition starting?”
Link was surprised.
Wasn’t it said that after branding the Destiny Witchcraft, there should be a long period of time for the body and soul to adjust to the changes brought by it?
Wizard Palo also once said that promotion to an official wizard is not that simple.
So why has the situation changed when it comes to him?
The change was dramatic!
Link was not prepared at all.
Stabilizing his mind, instead of panicking, Link immediately responded to the abrupt Life Essence Transition.
First, he fully activated the ‘Mind Closure Technique’, focusing all his attention and strengthening his will to withstand the severe barbecue of the fire.
Actually, Link has the ability to disconnect all pain and temperature feedback.
However, to achieve a better result for the Life Essence Transition, one must directly feel the whole process of the fire burning the flesh and endure the endless pain.
Only by enduring the pain can one enjoy the sweetness afterwards.
Sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead continuously.
Link clenched his teeth, endured it stubbornly and didn’t make a sound.
Otherwise, it would let out his ‘Qi’ or energy out.
He resolves to grit his teeth and bear it.
He endured until the “fire” wriggled up from the soles of his feet, spreading from his calves to his thighs and from his crotch to his abdomen and back, climbing up his neck and reaching his skull.
All his black hair fell out.
The process of “Refining the flesh” ended here.
It seemed easy and very effortless.
However, Link’s transformation came after enduring infinite pain with an extraordinary will.
If someone else, with less firm will had to go through this pain, they might fail and collapse before the last hurdle of becoming an official wizard.
It’s not as if there were no such examples before in our academy.
Among those sent to the factories, workshops, and studios in the Southern District as “cheap labor”, there are some of these failures.
The refinement ended, and the hammering followed immediately.
Strong pressures from all sides rushed towards Link who hadn’t yet had the chance to catch his breath.
The relentless wave of pressure struck him again and again, like the hit of the sea waves.
There were thumping sounds echoing throughout.
The super-strong hammering was beyond Link’s expectations.
Inadequate preparation resulted in Link’s face turning pale in an instant, almost shifting his internal organs due to severe gasping.
He quickly clenched his molars, steadied his stance and resolutely withstood the next waves of pressure that followed.
In the short reprieve that followed, Link took the opportunity to catch his breath and get his breathing back in order.
After that, there were no more surprises.
Beyond the pain, there was nothing else.
With a few close calls, the “forging of the flesh” ended too.
A vitality sprouted from the marrow, nourishing the entire body through the blood and nerves.
After the tempering and nurturing of the vital force, Link’s physical body was rejuvenated and upgraded.
He could resist Elise’s enhanced RPG with his physical body alone.
But he couldn’t bear the bombing of the great weapon directly.
Otherwise, even if he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured.
A man must understand himself.
The next stage of the Life Essence Transition, the refining of the soul, immediately followed.
Link was prepared to endure it just like what he had experienced before.
But it turned out to be for nothing.
After just a single shiver, the refining of the soul was already over.

Link’s face revealed such expression.
Is that it?
What’s going on?
Such unexpected occurrences.
Before Link could figure out the answer, the last stage of the Life Essence Transition arrived.
The merging of the new physical body with the new soul.
This is not a quick process; it takes time.
But again, something unexpected happened with Link.
In less than a second, Link felt that his soul and physical body had perfectly merged again without any delay.
Except for the lack of knowledge and corresponding witchcraft and means.
Link is now officially a First-Class Official Wizard!
He had only completed his first year, and in less than a year, he had transformed from an ignorant Stormy Sea New Blood into a First-Class Official Wizard, a position most local apprentices had to spend four years to achieve.
This pace couldn’t be called slow.
It couldn’t be said that there was no one who had achieved this before him and there wouldn’t be another after him.
But he was certainly one of the rare few.
Link was both happy and worried.
The joy came from his successful promotion; his strength, status, and position would all be greatly enhanced.
The worry came from the sudden onset of the Life Essence Transition and the unexpected occurrences during the process. It ended in a confusing manner.
This made Link inevitably think of the changes in the “Seed” andFranda.
Could it be the doing of that powerful figure again?
Outside the Secret Realm.
“The old undead” emerged from a statue-like state, glanced in doubt at the Apprentice-level Cultivation Secret Realm where Link was, and murmured in confusion,/p>
“Did the kid successfully complete the promotion?”
“That was too easy.”
“Could he have gotten some help from an old friend of mine?”
While murmuring, “The old undead” looked at Link more carefully, trying to figure out the reason why Link managed to easily complete the Life Essence Transition and promote to a First-Class Official Wizard.
A moment later, “The old undead” had a sudden realization.
‘So that’s it.1
