Mr. Aubrey had left.
Before leaving, his last words left Tuck both bewildered and somewhat surreal.
"Practice well here, complete your first-rank promotion, and I'll prepare a nice gift for you."
Clearly, Mr. Aubrey had discovered that Tuck had prepared his own promotion materials.
And he had high expectations for Tuck.
"I didn't expect to make contact with the High Tower in this way."
As a "law-abiding citizen" of Ramore Tower City-State, Tuck understood very well.
Only by coming into contact with the High Tower
could one attain more powerful witchcraft.
And witness those unimaginable "Transcendent Treasures."
As well as make contact with the vast and mysterious Transcendent World outside.
After pacing back and forth a few times.
Tuck was quite satisfied with the second-floor room of the High Tower arranged by Mr. Aubrey.
It was just that this little room, which hadn't been cleaned for years and was covered in a thick layer of dust.
Tuck began the cleaning work before his promotion.
...
A day later.
On the second floor of the Tower of the Undead.
Before the now clean house, Tuck, in an adjusted state, lit the flame beneath the Crucible.
The pure water in the Crucible began to heat up.
Tuck took out the materials needed for his promotion one by one.
A Wailing Banshee Soul Crystal.
A Kobold shaman's Origin Energy Crystal.
A Demon Wolf Heart Crystal.
And a bottle of First-Rank Fusion Potion.
He poured the Fusion Potion into the Crucible, and after a moment, the liquid started to thicken.
"Gurgle… Gurgle…"
Bubbles gurgled and churned.
Tuck first took out the Origin Energy Crystal and dropped it into the Crucible.
As the Origin Energy Crystal melted, Tuck brought the Wailing Banshee Soul Crystal up to his face.
The remnants of the banshee's will within the Soul Crystal were almost gone.
"I still prefer the way you wailed and rushed at me in the beginning."
Tuck chuckled and tossed the Soul Crystal in as well.
Finally, it was the heart of the Demon Wolf.
The heart of an elite, tainted by the will of the Demon Wolf.
Without any hesitation,
Tuck unsealed the Sealing Scroll and let the Demon Wolf heart roll into the Crucible.
"Owwoooww…"
As the Demon Wolf heart melted in the potion, Tuck could hear the faint howls of Demon Wolves.
Before long,
a complete First-Rank "Wizard Promotion Potion" was made by Tuck.
After cooling and bottling, Tuck's Wizard Ability "Spiritual Perception" quietly activated as he held the glass bottle.
"Spiritual Perception" was a Wizard Ability that Tuck naturally awakened when he obtained his Wizard Sequence.
Through the soul, the body, and Origin Energy, Tuck was able to deeply perceive and establish an orderly model.
[Witchcraft Promotion Potion]
[Containing the residual will of the banshee]
[Containing the curse of the Kobold shaman]
[Containing the strong will of the Elite Demon Wolf]
Previously, Tuck's "Spiritual Perception" only enabled him to sense a certain degree of Transcendent Characteristics.
But now, with SS Level [Precision].
The Potion's extremely precise information was perfectly presented in Tuck's perception.
"To know is not necessarily better than not knowing."
Tuck rubbed his brow.
"This doesn't seem like a Wizard's Promotion Potion."
"It's more like the 'farewell potion' of someone who has given up on life, right before their demise."
Taking a deep breath,
Tuck downed the Wizard Potion in one gulp.
An indescribable feeling filled Tuck's taste buds.
Immediately after, a slight sting flowed from his throat into his stomach and then spread throughout his body.
Soon, the sensation extended from his physical body to his soul and then, exploded magnificently within Tuck's Wizard Sequence.
The already-rooted "Wizard Seed," nourished by the Wizard Potion, began to sprout and grow rapidly.
A "Wizard Tree."
Its trunk and branches swayed swiftly into bloom.
And with the blossoming of the Wizard Seed,
Tuck's soul, body, and Origin Energy all rapidly transformed.
Evolving towards a first-rank Wizard.
Around the "Wizard Tree."
Tuck's Transcendent spells also displayed a certain Sequence State.
Bullet Tentacles, Bloodthorn Vine, Origin Scale Shield, and so on, all presented in a semi-transparent Magic form.
As if under the protection of a great tree, adorned with flowers and grass.
"Awoo—"
Just then.
The Demon Wolf's will, having waited for so long, finally bared its fangs.
An Elite Demon Wolf with dark fur and blood-red eyes growled as it charged towards Tuck's freshly grown "Wizard Tree".
Once the Wizard Tree was destroyed.
Tuck's advancement would be deemed a failure, leading to death.
As the Elite Demon Wolf came closer, the veins and trajectories around it became clearer and kept wrapping towards the Demon Wolf.
The speed of the Demon Wolf grew slower.
When the Demon Wolf had advanced to a certain point, it was completely locked by the veins.
No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't get close to Tuck's Wizard Tree by even an inch.
"Under the [Precision] of my Wizard Tree's constructed Wizard Sequence Ecology, the trajectories of the entire world converge in my hands."
"You have no fate but to be digested after I eat you."
Finished speaking, Tuck manipulated the Demon Wolf's will and tossed it into a slight whirlwind nearby.
The whirlwind easily shredded the will of the Demon Wolf and then absorbed it.
[Wind Whirlwind]
It was the Sequence manifestation of the spell "Wind Sprint" that Tuck possessed.
Bolstered by an SS Level [Precision] Transcendent Talent.
Tuck's newly born Wizard Tree's ecology was unimaginably powerful.
While Tuck and the Elite Demon Wolf were in conflict.
The Wizard Tree had already completed its growth transformation.
With the Wizard Tree as the core, and [Precision] as the rule of this world.
Tuck's Wizard Ability and the spells he had learned all displayed their own Sequence characteristics, revolving around the Wizard Tree.
A small Wizard Sequence Ecology was officially formed.
In an ordinary world, there exists a natural ecological environment.
Within the Transcendent World, there was [Transcendent Ecology].
Transcendent Ecology could also be seen as the combination of Transcendent power and "life."
This "life" could be interpreted as an individual life.
Or it could be seen as a biological community.
Similarly, it can be considered a Transcendent City State.
Even a world, can be seen as a "life."
A large Transcendent Ecology could encompass smaller Transcendent Ecologies.
Some Transcendent Ecologies might even overlap with each other, and so on.
For Transcendents like Tuck.
Their own Tree of the Wizard Sequence, their life, soul, and the various witchcraft within the Sequence, their own Origin Energy, and so on.
The sum of all this is one's own "Wizard Sequence Ecology."
It is an ecology that is alive and active, possesses Transcendent power, and can sustain its own circular operation!
...
"Phew..."
In the Wizard Tower, inside a cottage.
The seated Tuck slowly opened his eyes.
An attribute panel subsequently appeared before his eyes.

Wizard: Level 10.
...

Precision (SS Level): 500%.

...
"I've finally become a First-Rank Wizard."
As Tuck stretched his arms, the Transcendent aura of a First-Rank Wizard emerged.
Compared to the previously weaker state as an "Apprentice Wizard."
The now First-Rank Wizard Tuck had a dense and solid aura, filled with deterrence.
"Mental strength has increased by at least 60%."
"The strength of Origin Energy has also increased by 40%."
"Ordinary First-Rank life materials can enhance the physique by about 30%."
"Whereas I have absorbed the heart of a powerful 'Elite Demon Wolf', and my physique has increased by roughly 80%."
Tuck squeezed his fist slightly, feeling the abundant power pulsating in his muscles.
"Not bad..."
Tuck was very satisfied with this enhancement.
After feeling the fundamental increase from his promotion to a First-Rank Wizard.
Tuck turned his attention to the gains from his advancement.
