"A typical single-attribute Elemental Mage promoting to Level 2 only needs to activate one Energy Well. The total amount of energy is relatively limited, mainly used to transform the physical body to achieve Elementalization. While it does aid in tempering and expanding the Spiritual Sea, the degree usually remains within a stable range."

"As for me..." His gaze swept over the six exhausted Energy Wells surrounding him, like the carcasses of giant beasts, "I simultaneously activated six top-tier Energy Wells, with the energy levels of the Light and Darkness Wells far exceeding the standard. The energy required is probably five to ten times more than a typical wizard."

"Such a vast amount of pure energy with varied attributes, while transforming the physical body and facilitating Elementalization, inevitably applied unprecedented extreme pressure, expansion, and baptism to the Spiritual Sea. Additionally, needing to fend off illusions and unknown whispers attacking the spirit, the willpower is forced to its limit... all these factors combined, the growth of Spiritual Power far exceeds the norm, which makes sense."

"Energy doesn’t disappear into thin air; besides being used for life transition, the overflowing part destined for opposition eventually nourished the Spirit." This was an unexpected delight brought by his crazy promotion plan.

Powerful Spiritual Power is the cornerstone of all a wizard’s strength; the higher the Spiritual Power, the greater the potential to construct Magic, analyze rules, and explore the unknown in the future.

Apart from quantitative growth, the quality of Spiritual Power also underwent changes.

Through the repeated washing of the six-element energies and the brief manifestation of the Plane’s will rules, his Spiritual Power became more refined and pure, carrying a subtle, hard-to-detect resonance with the basic Elemental Rules, leading to a qualitative leap in perceptual acuity and penetrative power.

Upon confirming the tremendous changes in both body and spirit, Duke began attempting to mobilize that new, seamlessly commanding elemental control.

A mere thought, and his entire right arm instantly turned into a Sword of Light, composed purely of brilliant golden light with liquid flames flowing along its edges, starting from the shoulder.

No incantations, no delay; the transformation was completed in an instant.

The Light Saber emitted a warm yet unlookable majesty, with an inherent suppressive power over shadows, undead, and similar entities.

With a gentle swing, the air left behind a lingering trail of light.

With another thought, the Sword of Light vanished abruptly, and his right arm returned to normal.

Immediately after, his left arm rapidly covered with a dense layer of dark crystal from the fingertips, seemingly capable of absorbing even sight, and soon transformed into a flowing, viscous shadow revolving around the arm, possessing strong corrosive and stealth characteristics.

The six-element energies flowed endlessly throughout his body, combining and transforming harmoniously like a symphony, full of infinite possibilities.

The freedom and ease of control were something that a single-attribute Elemental Mage could never achieve.

Adapting to the sudden increase in physical strength required time, but elemental control seemed to have almost become his second instinct upon completion of the promotion.

This was thanks to his unique foundation of the Six-element Composite Crystal and the extreme pursuit of energy balance and fusion in his promotion plan.

With an initial assessment complete, Duke slowly retracted all external elemental phenomena, returning to an apparently ordinary human form.

Only those overly profound, calm eyes and the faint pressure emitted from him, belonging to a higher Life Level, indicated his extraordinariness.

Duke didn’t rush to master more ferocious elemental powers but decided to take time to familiarize himself with the greatly increased strength, agility, and other physical powers.

This is the most fundamental and important step.

In the early days, Duke spent almost all his time cultivating the Light Divine Breathing Technique.

He no longer pursued a rapid increase in the Breathing Technique’s level but used it as a medium for introspection and coordination.

In the area where Light energy was most concentrated in the Divine Court, he meditated for long periods, using long breaths to guide the enormously increased, subtly altered by Elementalization, Light Fighting Spirit in a cyclical passage through his body.

With each breath, his consciousness followed the flow of energy, meticulously sensing every minor stagnation, every instance of excess or deficiency in the enhanced meridians, organs, muscles, and bones.

The power growth from the promotion was rough, filled with unrefined edges.

The gentle cycle of the Breathing Technique was like the finest sandpaper, gradually smoothing those edges, allowing the exponentially increased power to synchronize more precisely with his neural reactions and conscious commands.

He sought to recover and imprint that near-instinctive adaptive sensation gained from enhanced free attribute points onto this new body. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Simultaneously, he interspersed the cultivation of the Moonlight Breathing Technique, utilizing its soft and agile characteristics to balance and acclimate to the instabilities brought by the greatly increased agility attribute, achieving new harmony between speed and bodily stability.

Once the Breathing Technique cultivation allowed the energy within to flow smoothly and provided a finer perception of the body, Duke began honing his Combat Techniques.

He proceeded to the vast training grounds within the Divine Court, starting with the most basic power exertions.

The full-level Thousand Overlapping Waves Strike became his core method for power control.

He no longer pursued the number of times energy overlapped or instant destructive power but repeatedly practiced the simplest of punches, slashes, and whip kicks.

For each attack, he deliberately controlled the output power to different levels such as one-tenth, one-fifth, one-third..., earnestly experiencing the contraction range of muscle fibers, the flow rate and outbreak point of Fighting Spirit output, and seeking that precise control sensation where one part of strength exerts, never allowing half part of redundancy.
