Chapter 251 A truly powerful person will never be constrained by the environment

Chapter 251 - 251 A truly powerful person will never be constrained by the environmentAfter confirming that his opponent's lifeforce had completely dissipated, Su Nan withdrew his palm, nodding silently to himself.

The reason he chose to act personally was twofold: first, to minimize damage to the wizard's tower, as he intended to study it later and use its materials to upgrade the Starlight Wizard Tower. Since the tower couldn't be recklessly destroyed, the most efficient solution was to eliminate its operator.

Second, encountering a second-tier wizard was rare, and Su Nan saw this as a perfect opportunity to test the power of his [Talent Specialization].

With the talent system having undergone two successive upgrades—from Tier 2 Liquefaction to Tier 2 Crystallization—the enhancement effects had doubled.

This doubled power of "Liquid Metal" and "Absolute Forbidden Zone" did not disappoint, effortlessly crushing a second-tier liquefied wizard.

The only regret Su Nan felt was that his opponent was too weak. They perished before he had a chance to unleash his third talent, "Falling Star Rain." Otherwise, he could have tested its might as well.

Refocusing, Su Nan extracted the three wizard souls and refined them into soul crystals on the spot, then stored them in his spatial ring. Only afterward did he begin his investigation of the wizard's tower.

Even though the three wizards from the Obsidian Throne were dead, the tower's spirit remained operational, dutifully executing its programmed directive to eliminate intruders. Puppets from within the tower were being continuously mobilized.

Su Nan promptly destroyed the crystal orb housing the tower spirit, rendering the wizard's tower entirely dormant. It began its slow descent to the ground.

"A wizard's tower!" Tanner exclaimed.

It wasn't the fact that the Obsidian Throne used a wizard's tower that shocked him, but rather the implication that the Star Alliance had seemingly emerged victorious against it. How was that even possible?

A wizard's tower wasn't something that could be overcome through sheer numbers. Even if the Star Alliance had hundreds of wizard-level puppets, it shouldn't have been enough to defeat a wizard's tower. Unless... the Star Alliance had one of their own.

But could the Starlight Continent's environment support the construction of a wizard's tower? Then again, Tanner reasoned, Su Nan had already accomplished the extraordinary by founding the Star Alliance. Building a wizard's tower might not be beyond his capabilities.

The man had achieved countless miracles before. Was this merely another one of them?

Tanner hesitated before finally voicing his thoughts. "Does the Star Alliance also have a wizard's tower?"

Fleming smiled but didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "In a little over ten years, the planar seal will be lifted, and you'll be free to leave. Don't worry, the Obsidian Throne's matters won't involve you."

"I have other matters to attend to. Farewell."

With that, Fleming turned and left.

Although Tanner didn't receive a direct answer, Fleming's attitude spoke volumes. Tanner stood frozen, deep in thought.

After a long silence, he finally sighed.

"As expected, true strength is never shackled by its environment."

With the Obsidian Throne situation resolved, Su Nan returned to constructing his talent crystal model. Thanks to an ample supply of construction potions, the process proceeded smoothly.

In just over a year, Su Nan successfully completed the "Falling Star Rain" talent crystal model. In the depths of his consciousness, another exquisite, hollow crystal form emerged.

"Now comes the task of filling it with mental energy," Su Nan murmured.

Sitting cross-legged by the elemental pool, Su Nan focused and began channeling his mental energy into the model.

A month passed.

[Talent Crystal Model Filling Progress: 0.01%]

"Only 0.01% after an entire month," Su Nan sighed, shaking his head.

At this rate, it would take over 800 years to fully fill the talent crystal model. And that was under optimal conditions, with the Starlight Continent's energy particle density nearing its peak and the large elemental pool's buffs in effect. The sheer amount of mental energy required for the third talent crystal model was staggering.

"This efficiency is far too low. I need to find a way to accelerate the process," Su Nan mused.

Once the planar seal was lifted, he could trade with other wizard factions for resources like Spiritual Orbs, which could speed up mental energy recovery. However, he wasn't too optimistic about this approach.

Such resources were scarce and in high demand. Few factions would be willing to sell them to outsiders. Even if he managed to purchase a small amount, it would be a drop in the ocean compared to what he needed—unless he joined a faction and gained access to their exclusive resources.

Alternatively, he could further upgrade the elemental pool.

While large elemental pools were already considered top-tier, the next step would be an elemental furnace, typically found in floating cities. However, Su Nan neither had the means to construct one nor the necessary resources.

Still, while others might be unable to refine a large elemental pool, Su Nan was different. By continuously integrating smaller elemental pools, he could incrementally enhance its capabilities.

"With the Star Alliance's current revenue growth, allocating a portion of resources to upgrade the elemental pool shouldn't be an issue," Su Nan concluded.

Upgrading the elemental pool would also bolster the Starlight Wizard Tower's long-range firepower. The battle with the Obsidian Wizard Tower had already proven the power of the Spell Cannon II and Dissociation Cannon II. If Su Nan wished, he wouldn't even need to deploy the golem army—firepower alone could obliterate an Obsidian Wizard Tower.

The only drawback was the immense energy consumption. Despite improvements that reduced energy costs, the expenditure was still significant. A combined volley of 300 Spell Cannons II and a single shot from the Dissociation Cannon II would drain nearly half of the tower's energy reserves.

Against smaller wizard towers, this wasn't a problem. But facing a medium-sized wizard tower would expose the Starlight Wizard Tower's lack of sustained firepower.

Upgrading the el

emental pool would solve this issue.

"Since the wizard tower is set to undergo upgrades, I'll address the elemental pool at the same time," Su Nan resolved.
