"Hepburn, I feel that I have encountered a bottleneck from the third level to the fourth level, and I will retreat to break through. You can help me guard the door and no one is allowed to enter."

Hepburn seemed a little numb to my presentation of a genius. After he came to Zhu Rong, apart from studying fire magic with me, he also tested his inner spiritual power. His inner spiritual power was already over 240. Compared to before, his speed of improvement was definitely much faster. But he didn't seem too happy when I was around.

“Why don't you collect it for a while then try to break through? Don't be too hasty!”

"You don't understand the world of genius."

But Hepburn looked at me seriously, grabbed my thin shoulders, and said to me: "Talent is of course very important, but on the path of cultivation, we must guard against arrogance and impatience. We cannot help but work hard or be blind because of our talents. Austin. Promise me, okay?"

"You're really nagging!" I said helplessly.

Hepburn said: "Promise me and I will reward you."

"Present?" I suddenly became a little excited, “What gift?”

"Promise me first."

"Okay, I agree." I agree happily. I wonder what gift he will give me. He hasn't given me anything.

Then, he held my face in his hands, and before I got a bad feeling, he said, “Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!”

I panicked. This is the gift.

Retreat, retreat!

I closed the door, cast a soundproof spell with black magic, then sat cross-legged on the bed. I don't know how to break through the wizard's bottleneck, but compared to this ability, what is more important to me is breaking through the seal of creation. As long as some of the power belonging to my source of consciousness is released, it will naturally help me achieve a breakthrough.

The increase in my inner spiritual strength also helped my mental strength greatly. These days, I have digested the traces of the origin of the seal that leaked when the magic awakened, and now I have almost digested it.

I started trying to influence the dense barrier through my consciousness, but the barrier was extremely tough, and every impact was ineffective. I couldn't even find the source of my consciousness that had leaked before.

What should I do to achieve a breakthrough? Suddenly, I thought of a possibility.

Since the night when I came home from the magic awakening, I have never turned into a Chimera. After all, I can't expose myself like that, and that appearance is very ugly.

However, that seems to be my true appearance. When I seek a breakthrough, should I be like that?

Thinking about this, I added soundproofing techniques to the room and took off my clothes. "Change!"

Purple scales appeared, much faster than before, and I immediately felt some changes to the inner spiritual strength and power in my body, my perception became sharper, and my physical strength became stronger, even though now I was just a lizard – no, it was is a two-headed chimera!

After becoming a two-headed chimera, my perception of the outside world and my sensitivity towards myself have greatly improved. I didn't do anything in particular, but I could feel that the elements in the air were starting to condense towards my body. Not only the elements of darkness and fire, but also the elements of various other attributes also gathered into my body.

I don't feel an increase in inner spiritual power for now, but what I do feel is a change in my body. My body seemed to start expanding as all the energy flowed into my body. Isn't this inner spiritual power? However, this also gives me a powerful feeling of becoming stronger.

The purple scales on my body stood up due to the expansion of my body, and there was a circle of light flowing there. During this process, I could feel that my scales seemed to be getting bigger, and my body was getting bigger along with it, the body that was originally only one and a half meters long seemed to be stretching and getting bigger.

The seal started to feel a little loose again. This is the impact of a large amount of energy flowing into my body, accompanied by the evolution of my bloodline.

I understand, what I did was right, that's what I wanted to influence the seal of creation through the evolution of the body itself. The process of creation was originally an evolutionary process. Undoubtedly, my human body adapts to this process when undergoing changes, resulting in such progress.

Even though my body is sore, itchy and uncomfortable, I am in a pleasant mood. If this continues, it won't be long before I can break the seal completely.

More and more massive elements condensed towards my room. This is a magic tower with extremely abundant various elements. At this moment, I can feel that the element fluctuations in the room are very strong, and my body is swallowing these elements like a bottomless pit.

There was movement outside and I heard a sound.

"You can't go in, Austin is in retreat." Hepburn's slightly anxious voice sounded.

Then came Zhu Rong's voice: "What did he do? How could it cause such strong elemental fluctuations?"

Hepburn said: "Austin is in retreat. He seems to have reached five hundred spiritual powers and is about to break through to the level of a great wizard."

"What? Five hundred?" Zhu Rong's voice was obviously higher. After all, I've only been here a few days, and he didn't test my internal spiritual power. He only taught me fire attribute magic. When Sidi sent me here, he had just told Zhu Rong that I passed his test.

"Yes, before we came, Saint Magister Sidi tested him and found that his inner spiritual power had reached 475. A few days after coming, he said that he encountered a bottleneck and wanted to break through in retreat."

Zhu Rong looked a little anxious: "Nonsense! After encountering a bottleneck, how can you directly break through? Why? Didn't you tell me? The mage has many skills to break through, how can he do this? What's more, the elements gathered in his room now exceed the demand elements when the great wizard breaks through. Move aside and let me go in and see!"

Hepburn said: "No, Master, I can't let you in. Before the retreat, Austin told me that he must be quiet in retreat and must not be disturbed by anyone. I am his servant, and I can't let you in. Please believe me to him, he is completely different from ordinary wizards. Think about it, how long has it been since he awakened? Although he will break through to the fourth level this time, I believe he will be able to become a dual-attribute wizard, so it is natural that he needs more energy? elements when breaking through."

Hearing their conversation in the room, my heart felt like it was pounding. Zhu Rong must not enter! If he saw me like this, he would probably kill me with a fireball. Well done, Hepburn! I admit, at this point, I forgot he ever cheated on me.

What I couldn't see was Hepburn outside the door opening her arms like a mother hen, facing the pressure of the eighth-level holy wizard with a stubborn expression on her face.

"Then let's wait." Zhu Rong actually compromised.

No, it has to be fast. I have to break through as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if he can't wait to get in, everything will be over.

The urgency caused the blood in my body to flow even faster. My body was devouring the elements in the air faster and faster, and the expansion of my body seemed to be approaching the limit. I just felt a little itchy in my neck, and the energy that my body could no longer bear began to flow to my neck, and there seemed to be something protruding from the side of my head. I was in the bathroom at this time, I reluctantly turned my head and looked around. I suddenly discovered that there was an extra bulge on my neck, and the bulge was gradually getting bigger.
