Chapter 1263: Chapter 508: The Walking Wizard Tower (Part 2)
But here, Aselia’s tone began to grow heavy:
"However, when Kairon tried to break through to the Great Wizard realm, problems erupted."
"He discovered that although he had reached a high level in every field, none were deep enough to support the essence of life’s transition to the ’extreme’ depth."
"Kairon was like a person holding countless keys, but each key could only open half of the door."
Ron frowned: "Did he not try to specialize in one direction?"
"Of course he tried." Aselia’s Dragon Shadow slightly shook its head:
"But it was then that he discovered that years of extensive learning had made his mental structure extremely complex.
Different systems of knowledge had formed an intricate network in his mind, with each system deeply interconnected with others."
"More seriously, his process of constructing Void Remains became exceptionally difficult.
The Void Remains requires a clear and unified ’core’ as its foundation, but Kairon’s consciousness was filled with too many competing systems, each striving to dominate."
The room fell into a prolonged silence.
"Of course, your situation is much better than Kairon’s."
Aselia’s tone became gentle again:
"For some reason, your systems can produce organic interactions, rather than direct conflicts."
"Your [Astrology] provides warnings against possible pollution in Meditation, while knowledge of [History] offers theoretical support for [Alchemy].
This synergy is an advantage Kairon never possessed."
"But, Ron..."
Her dragon eyes locked onto his:
"Even for you, it is impossible to defy the universe’s most fundamental rule — time and focus are limited resources."
"What you’re facing now is the same fundamental problem Kairon faced: how to make the most effective choices within limited time."
Aselia’s figure began to turn transparent:
"A true strongman is not the one who masters the most skills, but the one who takes selected skills to their utmost potential."
"Sometimes, letting go is also a form of wisdom."
When the Dragon Shadow completely vanished, the room returned to silence.
Ron sat alone in the dark.
Under the shadow of the era’s restart, he had to make a decision.
To continue being a well-versed but not deeply specialized "Versatile Wizard."
Or to choose a few core directions and push them to the true extreme?
More crucially, how could he determine which professions matter most for the future?
Which can be temporarily set aside? Which must be entirely abandoned?
......
The next morning, Ron sat alone at his desk.
In front of him were various analytical charts and formulas.
At the top of the parchment, he wrote a clear goal statement:
[Core Goal:
Reach the Great Wizard Level before the era’s restart, and establish an Otherworld base]
"Since the goal is clear, the next issue is resource allocation."
He picked up a quill, starting to draw flowcharts on the parchment.
This analytical method borrowed from "value chain analysis" in management from his former life, but combined it with the specifics of the Wizard World.
He categorized all his professional abilities by their contribution to the core goal.
Each profession was given a clear functional position and priority ranking.
[First Priority: Core Path]
Undoubtedly, wizard cultivation is the core of the entire system.
But upon further contemplation, Ron realized this profession itself needs further refinement and optimization.
He drew three interconnected circles on the chart:
"Magic Power Compression System" — this is the hard threshold for breaking through the Dark Sun Level and the material foundation for constructing Void Remains.
"Knowledge Theoretical System" — including deep understanding of Wizard Civilization History, the Extraordinary System, and Otherworld Management.
"Practical Application Ability" — comprehensive skills for transforming theory into practical power.
These three must develop in coordination, as weakness in any part could lead to overall failure.
[Second Priority: Auxiliary Enhancement]
The focus of Magic Potion Making is no longer producing various general potions.
Instead, it concentrates on those special potions that can assist in [Magic Power Compression] and [Spiritual Power Growth].
The direction of Alchemy research shifts to creating devices and materials that can optimize the cultivation environment.
Such as more efficient magic power gathering devices, more stable energy converters, etc.
Enchantment and Rune Magic focus on constructing [Combined Magic Circuits] and enhancing [Radiation Field] with Rune Arrays.
"In this way, the development of all three professions serves the core goal."
[Third Priority: Strategic Navigation]
[Historian] and [Astrologer] fall into this category, serving as the compass and map in navigation.
The value of History lies in providing "experience reference," offering a basis for his path decisions.
"Every Great Wizard’s promotion process is unique, but there must be certain common laws and patterns."
Astrology, meanwhile, takes on the role of "risk warning" and "opportunity detection."
Ensuring that at critical moments, he won’t make wrong decisions due to lack of information.
"The development of these two professions need not pursue extreme depth but must maintain sufficient sensitivity and accuracy."
[Fourth Priority: Foundational Support]
[Demon Hunter Knight] and [Magic Swordsman] provide melee abilities that are currently sufficient to handle most direct threats.
After careful evaluation, Ron decided these professions only need to maintain basic proficiency for now, without investing much resource for in-depth development.
