Chapter 1262: Chapter 508: The Walking Wizard Tower
"Is there something wrong?"
Professor Yutel keenly noticed his unusual state.
"No, it’s just... there are some thoughts I need to sort out."
Ron replied politely, but the confusion revealed in his tone could not be completely hidden.
"Hmm." Yutel did not press further, only nodding:
"Growth always comes with confusion. When you learn new powers, you often discover more problems.
This is a process every Wizard must go through."
The old professor packed up the training equipment, the light emitted by the Void Remains casting long shadows on the surface of the instruments:
"However, confusion itself is also a form of progress.
Only when your vision is broad enough do you realize your limitations."
.........
Returning to his private area, Ron sat alone at the oak desk.
Taking a deep breath, he activated the data panel he hadn’t examined closely for a long time.
The translucent information interface unfolded slowly in his consciousness, and the long list of professions cascaded like a waterfall before his eyes:
[Current Profession:
Wizard・Primal (Three Stars);
Astrologer (Three Stars), Historian (Three Stars);
Demon Hunter Knight (Two and a Half Stars), Magic Swordsman (Two and a Half Stars);
Enchanter (Two and a Half Stars), Alchemist (Two Stars), Alchemist (Two Stars), Bloodline Adjustment Specialist (Two Stars)]
Each profession represents the time and effort he once invested, carrying a specific knowledge system and skill tree.
But now staring at this "achievement list," he no longer feels satisfaction, but a deep sense of disconnection.
Like standing in the center of a library, surrounded by numerous half-read books.
Each is valuable, each deserves deep study.
But his time and attention seem ruthlessly torn into countless pieces.
During these two weeks of intense training, bloodline coordination, Magic Power compression, combat skills—these abilities have achieved a qualitative leap.
But what about those other secondary professions?
Those abilities that once helped him overcome countless crises.
Now they seem like instruments long unplayed, still there but covered in dust.
As the Wizard level continues to ascend, its occupation of mental resources grows larger, leaving less room for other professions.
This reminded him of a concept in music theory—"voice masking."
When the volume of one voice part becomes too strong, other parts get masked, and the harmony of the entire piece is destroyed.
Now, the main voice part of [Wizard] is becoming increasingly dominant.
While other professions are like those weak, hidden notes, gradually losing their sense of presence.
He felt like he was conducting a large and loose orchestra simultaneously, each musician (profession) with their own playing style but lacking unified direction.
Some musicians (such as [Demon Hunter Knight] and [Magic Swordsman] etc.) play with passion and gusto;
Some (such as [Historian] [Astrologer] etc.) prefer unpredictable improvisations.
And others, playing in a corner, silently performing almost inaudible background sounds.
The overall effect is not exactly chaotic, but far from a true "symphony."
The most crucial issue is the countdown to epoch reset, like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head.
He doesn’t have unlimited time to slowly reconcile this discord.
Each profession needs time to deepen, each skill requires effort to maintain.
And within a limited time, he faces a difficult choice:
Should he continue maintaining the status quo, being a "jack of all trades, master of none"?
Or selectively abandon some professions, specializing in a few most critical directions?
"You seem troubled."
Aselia’s voice softly echoed in the depths of his consciousness.
The Silver Scale Dragon Shadow manifested from the air, hovering above the desk.
"I sensed the discord in your spiritual state."
Ron raised his head: "Do you have any advice?"
"Advice?" Aselia chuckled lightly, her dragon’s tail swaying in the air:
"I won’t give you advice. I can only tell you some stories I’ve seen, then let you think and choose for yourself."
Her words carried the wisdom accumulated over the years:
"The trouble you face now, I have seen it more than once beside him.
It is the common predicament all geniuses must confront—the weight of choices."
"Do you want to hear a story? About a Wizard with a talent similar to yours, named Kailon."
Ron nodded, signaling her to continue.
Aselia began recalling distant memories:
"He was a genius Wizard from the same era as that man. Kailon was known as the ’Man of All Laws’—a title both of praise and curse."
As her narrative continued, the light and shadows in the room began to subtly change:
"Kailon’s talent... how to put it, even by the standards of all the geniuses I’ve seen, he was one of a kind."
"At fifteen, he could simultaneously control multiple elements; at twenty, his Alchemy prowess made many senior masters ashamed; at twenty-five, his innovative theories in magic structure redefined the entire discipline..."
"More astonishingly, he also mastered Astrology, Rune Magic, and Soul Engineering..."
Aselia’s voice was filled with admiration:
"Scholars at the time called him a ’walking Wizard Tower,’ believing that he alone equated to the knowledge repository of an entire academy."
"Many predicted that Kailon would become the next great one after the ’King of Revelation,’ and might even inaugurate a new era."
