Chapter 390: Chapter 223: Eternal Engraving (2) [Breakthrough! Flowing Shield Wall (Proficient 100/100) → Flowing Shield Wall (Mastery 1/200)] [Trait Advancement: Memory → Eternal Engraving (The shield wall not only remembers attack patterns, but can also actively learn and evolve defense strategies, forming a continuously self-improving defense system)] Soul steel and the energy of the shield wall resonate harmoniously, no longer conflicting, but instead achieving a perfect fusion. The entire structure of the shield wall changes qualitatively, no longer a simple three-layer structure, but evolving into a more complex organic whole. Soul steel transforms into countless tiny energy lines, spreading throughout the shield wall and forming a structure similar to a neural network, allowing the shield wall to respond to various situations more intelligently and flexibly. Ron exhales deeply, looking at the shield wall fully activated before him, the light of achievement shining in his eyes. The "Flowing Shield Wall" has finally broken through to the mastery level, and its trait has advanced from "Fluid Memory" to the more powerful "Eternal Engraving." This is a significant leap on top of the original "Memory" feature. After each successful defense, the shield wall analyzes the attack pattern and automatically adjusts its structure to better cope with similar attacks. Over time, it becomes increasingly powerful, with almost no fixed weaknesses. "Eternal Engraving..." Ron contemplates the possibilities brought by this trait. To verify this trait, Ron decides to conduct a series of more stringent tests. He activates various attack devices in the laboratory in stages, from simple physical impacts, to complex elemental attacks, to high-level attack modes simulating special magic effects. After each round of testing, he can clearly feel the changes in the shield wall. Initially, the shield wall exhibited varying resistance effects to different types of attacks, some strong, some weak. But as the tests progressed, it began to rapidly adjust its structure, specifically strengthening the defenses of those weak spots. By the tenth round of testing, the shield wall could easily withstand attacks that had previously caused damage. It no longer passively endured damage but actively predicted attack paths and prepared the appropriate defense before the attack arrived. "This is simply..." Ron marveled: "A continually evolving shield system." He continued to test in depth and discovered another surprising feature of this shield wall: It can "remember" the user’s habits and preferences, automatically adjusting its performance to better accommodate the user’s combat style. When Ron tried more aggressive attack strategies, the shield wall became more flexible and aggressive, with its active counterattack function becoming more active; Whereas when he adopted a conservative defensive stance, the shield wall became more solid and stable, to protect the user to the greatest extent. This adaptability forms an almost perfect symbiotic relationship between the shield wall and the user, no longer just a simple tool, but an indispensable partner in battle. "Perhaps this will become one of my most powerful defensive means." Ron concluded, looking at the fully evolved shield wall with satisfaction, carefully storing it in a specially made container. As the sky outside the window gradually darkened, Ron took a deep breath, feeling the power flowing within his body. Only a few days remained until the Star Ring Convergence, and his preparations were nearly complete. "Sound Wave Vibration Mastery, Mastery of the Ring of Brilliance, and now a master-level Flowing Shield Wall..." Ron took stock of his combat power in his mind, a faint confident smile emerging at the corner of his mouth: "Star Ring Convergence, I am ready." The twilight glow cast upon the windowsill of the laboratory, dyeing the entire room with a layer of golden-red light. ......... Above the Black Mist School, the starlight appeared brighter and denser than usual, as if the entire night sky were adorned with countless diamonds. Most striking was the northeast sky, where a few bright stars slowly moved, forming a peculiar geometric pattern. In the distance, a cluster of stars emitting an eerie purple light was gradually approaching that pattern. Inside the school, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating. The patrol density of the Law Enforcement Team had doubled, with uniformed members guarding every corner, even the normally deserted edge areas were filled with vigilance. All apprentices received strict orders—not to leave their residences unless necessary, with severe penalties for violators. Near Ron’s workshop, several hidden protective arrays quietly activated, enveloping the entire area within. These arrays were highly advanced, even bearing the obvious aura of an Official Wizard, clearly set up by either Hayek or Soron personally. At the edges of the arrays, in a few hidden monitoring points, the school masters remained highly alert. "Is everything normal?" Hayek’s voice came from a shadow, deep and cautious. "So far, no abnormal fluctuations detected." Soron’s response was equally vigilant, his gaze never leaving Ron’s workshop: "But the concentration of magic power in the air is rising, already exceeding one-third of normal levels." "According to the law, we cannot interfere, only observe and protect." Hayek said in a low voice, his tone carrying a rare seriousness: "No matter what happens, do not act recklessly." Soron nodded slightly, a complex glint in his eyes: "I hope this time, the outcome will be different." Meanwhile, within Lady Allen’s herb store, Lilia, Dale, and Ailan had safely arrived. This was Ron’s arrangement—at this critical moment, he did not want any ties or interference around him.
