Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree

Apprentices, also known as the most basic personnel of the Six-Ring Tower.

The Six-Ring Tower initially started as a scholarly wizard organization similar to the Thorn Tower, gradually developing into what it is today.

Since becoming an official member of the Six-Ring Tower, Duke could browse a lot of internal information through the Six-Ring Badge, generally announcements, tasks, rewards, punishments, and status updates from various departments.

Of course, there is also a place for wizards to chat dubbed the tavern, a virtual tavern where images can be condensed through Spiritual Power.

The Six-Ring Tower’s virtual tavern exists not on any layer, nor in any room, but within the mental network of the Six-Ring Badge.

Every official member of the Six-Ring Tower can explore the badge with Spiritual Power, select the "tavern" option, and enter that intangible space as a Spiritual Power condensed avatar.

No walls, no ceiling, no floor, just an endless gray-white void.

Tables and countless chairs float in the void, with groups of wizards sitting around each table, their avatars either clear or vague, faces either real or disguised, voices not emerging from throats but transmitted directly through Spiritual Power into each other’s perception.

Duke’s Spiritual Power explored into the badge, his consciousness sinking into that void.

His figure emerged from the void, not as his original appearance, but as an avatar he intentionally adjusted.

Stature shortened by half a head, appearance made ordinary, utterly featureless, and the robe color changed from white to unremarkable gray.

He casually pulled a chair over and sat down.

A small table appeared before him, with a glass of wine floating above it.

It was not an entity; it was wine condensed from Spiritual Power, but drinking it could indeed relieve the fatigue of Spiritual Power.

This is the tavern’s only consumption item, a point of contribution per glass, not expensive, but not free.

Duke picked up the wineglass, took a sip, a refreshing aura spreading through Spiritual Power, alleviating the fatigue accumulated from long hours of reading in his Spiritual Sea.

He sat in a corner, extending his perception outward.

The tavern’s area is infinitely large, theoretically capable of accommodating infinite people.

There were at least a few thousand wizards online at this moment, scattered throughout the endless void, some gathered together, others sitting alone, some grandiloquently talking in public channels, and others whispering in corners.

Those Spiritual Power fluctuations surged like tides from all directions, chaotic and disorderly, without threads.

Duke wasn’t in a hurry to capture any particular information but let it all flood in, rapidly filtering it in his mind.

Some weaker Level 1 Mages could hardly stay for half a cup of tea before getting overwhelmed by the chaotic Spiritual Power fluctuations, but Duke’s Spiritual Power already exceeded five hundred points, handling the information with ease.

While drinking that soothing wine, he peeled off the layers of chaotic Spiritual Power fluctuations, selecting the valuable portions.

Someone was discussing newly discovered Plane coordinates, someone was complaining about how difficult the last task was, someone was boasting about finding an ancient lost Magic Model in the library, someone lamented not having enough contribution points.

Most of the information held no value for Duke, but he nonetheless recorded each bit, perhaps useful in the future.

Then he heard what he wanted.

From a table not far away came several Spiritual Power fluctuations, with a few wizards’ avatars sitting together, neither high nor low tones, openly discussing without deliberately whispering, or overly flaunting, seemingly casually chatting in the tavern.

Occasional interruptions from others around, topics flowed back and forth, no one felt it was confidential.

"Have you heard the news from the Plane Conquest and Strategy Department?"

"What news?"

"They discovered a Middle Plane, where the Elemental Energy is extremely active, more active than any Middle Plane we’ve seen. The preliminary exploration tasks are almost over, and the collected intelligence is reportedly astonishing."

"Extremely active Elemental Energy? Does that mean abundant resources?"

"Not just abundant. In such Plane, Magic Metal ore veins, high-purity Elemental Crystals, rare Magic Potion Materials, even rule manifestations regions, could all be everywhere, a veritable treasure trove."

"What’s the higher-ups’ plan?"

"Still discussing. The Plane’s strength is not weak; its primary species are Elemental Lives. Conquest actions carry significant risk, requiring considerable forces, the casualties would likely be high, so some hesitations remain."

Another Spiritual Power fluctuation interjected.

"Hesitations? By tradition, the ultimate decision often lands on taking action. Who gives up such a level of resource Plane?"

"I think so too." Another voice echoed. "Hasn’t the Six-Ring Tower fought enough Plane wars?"

"The problem is, after taking action, do we get a chance to share the spoils?"

"That depends on whether you have the strength. Plane warfare isn’t child’s play, those who go must fight for their lives. But if you can survive the battlefield, contribution points, resources, spoils, none will be lacking. Heard they’re already drafting recruitment plans, then they’ll gather voluntary participants from within the Six-Ring Tower, the conditions won’t be low, nor the rewards."

Duke held the wine glass, sipping slowly.

He didn’t join in the discussion, just listened quietly.

The Spiritual Power fluctuations continued, topics spreading from the new Plane to past Plane wars, spoils distribution, and the Six-Ring Tower’s strategic layout in recent years.

Lots of information, but most held no direct value to him.

Duke put down the wine glass and leaned back on the chair.

Another resource Plane, highly active Elemental Energy, Elemental Life civilization.

This Plane seemed promising, but specifics required more investigation; rash action was unwise.

Duke drained the last sip of wine and set down the glass.

His avatar dispersed into the void, consciousness returning to his body.

...

Half a month later, the Plane Conquest and Strategy Department indeed released the message, and it was very detailed.

Four Spirits Elemental Plane, Middle Plane, with a maximum combat power of Level 6.

The internal civilization of the Four Spirits Elemental Plane comprises four major Elemental Life groups, namely the Earth Spirit, Fire Spirit, Sky Spirit, and Ocean Spirit, corresponding to four different Elemental Lives, with various forms, habits, and strengths beneath each Elemental Life.

This Plane’s civilization development is already very advanced, not the primitive tribal form; it has developed a society structure similar to that of humans on the Wizard Plane.

And from the initial exploration investigation, it can be discerned that this Plane possesses Civilization-level Weaponry.

The Fixed Star Orbit Cannon, now owned by the Wizard Plane, once belonged to a powerful civilization as its Civilizational-level Weapon.

The Fixed Star Orbit Cannon stands in the universe, deterring all, even Level 6 Lives dare not casually face its edge.

Were it not that the Fixed Star Orbit Cannon, once deployed, could not move, serving purely as a defensive weapon, the Wizard Plane would have long traversed the Endless Plane with it.

The newly discovered Four Spirits Elemental Plane also reportedly developed similar weaponry, details remain unknown.

This is also why the Wizard Council was hesitant earlier; they dare not act rashly, fearing huge losses.

But now, with the Plane Conquest and Strategy Department announcing the action message, it confirms the decision to act against the Four Spirits Elemental Plane.

Once the message went out, countless wizards voluntarily enlisted, all wanting to claim a share of the upcoming conquest on this newly discovered, resource-rich Plane.

After the message was issued, while Duke was studying the message details, Vera already sent a message concerning this.

Spiritual Power probing into the Six-Ring Badge, Vera’s message manifested in consciousness, concise: "Four Spirits Elemental Plane, together?"
