The human body is composed of elements, with dozens of them being significant, among which oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen are the most crucial, constituting ninety-nine percent of the body tissue with about nine essential minerals, besides many other trace elements...
Fortunately, Vittorio had already recorded all the body's data in advance and developed a technique named "Shaping - Shell Reconstruction," so nearly within just a few seconds, flesh, bones, and internal organs were quietly formed...
"Did it succeed?" Aurora whispered to herself, keeping an eye on the ascension ceremony.
However, in the next moment, the newly formed body was overwhelmed, torn apart, and destroyed by the violent force of the lightning...
The body, constructed from Magic Power, was as frail as paper under the powerful energy impact!
Vittorio clearly had no intention of giving up, as he continued to increase the mobilization of Magic Power, with regeneration and destruction occurring almost simultaneously in a continual loop.
This terrifying scene made Tic and the others shudder, as they acutely sensed that the Spiritual Body of the chairman was becoming increasingly dim...
The soul is inherently fragile; even at the level of a Grand Wizard, it cannot permanently exist apart from the body, especially when placed in the midst of violent energy impacts.
"Should we reduce the energy input for now?" Aurora said worriedly, suggesting waiting until Vittorio had fully constructed the Magic Body,
"No, there's no need for that, and we can't do that!" Lynn shook his head.
Lightning and water... are indeed the basis of life's creation; the input power was meticulously calculated by them, and any lower than this level wouldn't fill the elemental construction internally with energy.
"He's too hasty, he should take it step by step!" Harro couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, the one involved is confused while the bystanders see clearly. Harro could naturally spot some issues, as Vittorio wanted to build the body all at once and then infuse it with energy...
But now it seemed obviously unfeasible, rather it should be done step-by-step from the inside out!
This was indeed the drawback of being the first to ascend; all the challenges encountered throughout the process were unknown, and any misstep could wastefully consume a great deal of precious energy and time.
And Vittorio had less than five minutes left!
This was the duration a Sixth Ring Grand Wizard's Spiritual Body could endure under high-intensity energy shock, beyond this limit, it could be severely damaged or even completely annihilated!
In fact, the situation was a bit worse than they had anticipated, as Vittorio had deployed a substantial amount of computing power when constructing the Magic Body, the state of his Spiritual Body was visibly deteriorating.
Fortunately, Vittorio quickly realized that with his own abilities, he could not directly construct a body under the energy shock,
A heart slowly emerged at the center of the Spiritual Body, throbbing rapidly and rhythmically, except it was pulsating with energy instead of blood!
Shortly thereafter, blood vessels connecting to the heart and bones in front of the chest appeared, and intense electricity ran directly through the Spiritual Body, as if aiming to destroy it once more, only this time the growth and repair speed far exceeded the dispersal.
Just as Anthony initially relied on his physical body to endure the baptism of electricity to enhance his sensitivity to electric currents, after the electricity passed through the Spiritual Body, it would be weakened somewhat, with the remaining current tinted by Soul Power, which was the suitable energy for integration into the Magic Body.
"Try to increase the power a bit!" Lynn said thoughtfully.
To increase it further... The alchemists present were terrified, some even harboring thoughts that Master Lynn might be trying to harm the chairman.
Harro, however, nodded, pointed to the fusion reactor, and the plasma state flames soared violently as if pulled by some force; a huge swirling fire dragon reappeared, rotating upward into the sky, absorbed by the transformation and energy storage runes at the top, and continuously delivered to the platform above.
The heart and bones that had just been constructed were dispersed by the suddenly enhanced lightning, only to be repaired differently from before, seemingly a bit more solid than previously.
Yet, the more powerful energy impact also shortened the duration Vittorio's Spiritual Body could endure!
This one minute was the decisive moment for life or death, and victory or defeat!
"Come, let me see whether the path I have conceived is correct or not..." Lynn's gaze was fixed intensely on the ascension platform.
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, fifty seconds...
A minute passed in the blink of an eye, and Vittorio's figure had been completely engulfed in the thunderous light with no movement for a long time.
"Should we stop the ritual first?" Even Harrov couldn't help it anymore; the time had exceeded the limit, and Vittorio's spiritual body might have been damaged.
Lynn hesitated for a moment and then agreed. It seemed that the legendary ascension might have already failed, and stopping the energy input now might still leave a glimmer of hope!
Disappointed, the three were about to terminate the entire ascension ritual when they were surprised to find that the frequency of energy extraction had been further intensified!
Lynn, Harrov, and Aurora looked at each other in astonishment. After realizing that this was not the doing of any of them, a slight expression of joy appeared on their faces.
Since it wasn't their doing, it could only be Vittorio, who was undergoing 'electrotherapy'!
Because only the four of them had the authority to control the fusion reactor!
Once they understood this, Lynn and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was still able to extract computing power to control the formation, this indicated that Vittorio was still alright, without serious issues.
The legendary ascension had previously only existed in theory and calculations; nobody knew what obstacles would be encountered during the process, and besides waiting, they could do nothing else!
A hundred thousand magic stones had already been consumed by half in an instant, and the output of the fusion reactor was barely keeping up with the extraction of energy.
Just as Lynn began to worry whether the energy reserves were sufficient, the thunderous light over the platform finally dissipated!
No, to describe it as dissipated wasn't quite right; more precisely, it had all been absorbed.
A blue figure soon appeared in front of everyone, its presence particularly formidable!
Vittorio stepped out slowly, with each step his energy body becoming a bit more solid, and by the time he completely left the platform, he had fully restored his usual flesh and blood body, and his aura had become very restrained, indistinguishable from that of a normal person!
"Congratulations, Chairman Vittorio!" Lynn congratulated him.
The corners of Vittorio's mouth curled slightly, then the smile grew wider until he broke out into an uncontrollable laugh.
"Legend, so this is what a legend is!" Vittorio's face was full of unrestrainable excitement.
Since he had become a sixth-ring wizard more than two hundred years ago, his lifespan had already reached its end, relying entirely on magic potions to sustain his existence, his body profoundly aged and corroded, and his inner spiritual body like carrying a heavy burden, tightly chained down.
But having changed into an energy body, it was as if a long-imprisoned person had finally broken free from the cage, a feeling of relief too wonderful to describe!
Aurora and Harrov were also overjoyed. Vittorio's success proved that Lynn's theory was correct, and they had finally found a valid path to ascend to legendary status!
"Your spiritual body hasn't suffered any damage, has it, Chairman Vittorio? We feared you were about to give in," Lynn asked again.
Although this ritual had narrowly succeeded, there were many variables beyond their expectations that needed improvement.
Vittorio slightly moderated the joyful expression on his face and began to explain.
In the ritual just now, his soul body had indeed suffered some damage, but the benefits brought by the ascension were greater.
According to Vittorio's estimate, his soul body could completely recover within a week under the nourishment of energy, and the upper limit of his computing power that had always constrained him was also broken, instantly enhancing the range and precision of his elemental control by several levels!
