Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Talking more won't help; whether the Shadow Sphere can successfully replace the Shadow Tigon depends on their final manipulation.

After the Shadow Sphere had been refined, Ivan had both persons imprint their spiritual power onto it to facilitate control transfer at any sign of trouble.

Among everyone, Doug was naturally the most nervous. He had invested the most energy and resources, and it was closely related to his personal interests. Should anything change, he would likely suffer immeasurable losses.

"Please, both of you, begin."

Seeing both looking at him, Doug silently nodded, signaling that they could start.

Under Ivan's manipulation, the fantastic item and the formation's power came alive once again, disrupting the original balance and further provoking the Shadow Power and spatial fissures into retaliation, causing the surroundings to become restless in an instant.

Even the spatial barriers shook incessantly, presenting a danger of annihilation.

"Sorcerer Doug, the first half is up to you."

Accompanied by Ivan's shout, the Shadow Tigon shifted from white to black, quickly transforming from a white stone statue into dense black smoke, resembling ink too thick to dissolve.

The Shadow Sphere began to display black spots and showed signs of turning into black mist.

After Doug performed his techniques, the black mist that the Shadow Tigon had become connected with the Shadow Sphere, causing the latter's transformation into black mist to accelerate rapidly and continuously assimilate.

"Roar!"

Once the Shadow Sphere was completely transformed into black smoke, the Shadow Tigon struggled vigorously, trying both to break free from the runes chains and pull the Shadow Sphere toward its position.

hoping to swap places with each other.

Meanwhile, Ivan focused primarily on the Small Bronze Square, not only maintaining the operation of the fantastic item and the formation but also moderating the intensity of the Shadow Tigon's attempts to escape while keeping an eye on any damage to the fantastic item and changes in the spatial fissures.

Solomon was certainly not idle; this time, relying solely on his strength to calm the disturbance, he faced immense pressure and even released several of his usual humanoid puppets.

"Ting, ting, ting."

Under the Shadow Tigon's frantic struggles and various other forces' tugging, the runes chains extending from the bronze obelisk kept shaking and produced clear, crisp sounds.

Bits of copper burst from the chains, scattering onto the small square.

As time slowly passed, the runes chains became increasingly damaged.

As for that, the three paid no attention.

"Sorcerer Doug, now's the moment."

After a while, Ivan noticed a strange balance had been achieved between the Shadow Tigon and the Shadow Sphere, and he shouted again.

Hearing this, the Shadow Tigon bellowed loudly and began a desperate effort. The surrounding black mist became especially sticky and volatile. After a tense and anxious half minute, it finally swapped places with the Shadow Sphere.

Looking again, the Shadow Sphere had taken the Shadow Tigon's place in the center of the chains, surrounded by runes chains.

The Shadow Tigon broke free from its prison, revealing the aura of a Level 3 creature, undoubtedly a standout among Level 3 creatures.

"Ha ha, it finally worked!" Doug laughed heartily.

"Don't celebrate too soon, the latter half coming up is the real challenge. If the Shadow Sphere fails to bring a new balance and the spatial fissures go out of control, our troubles will be serious." Ivan said solemnly.

"I understand, from now on, I'll follow your lead." Doug knew the truth in these words; the troubles ahead were still significant.

"Stop chit-chatting, Grandstand with your avatar here to suppress these Shadow Powers, and show off the unmatched grandeur of the Child of Shadow." Solomon shouted from not far away.

The recent swap had stirred up a hornet's nest; Black Water Lake, filled with Shadow Power, was completely out of control, with chaos reigning all around, and even the immovable Small Bronze Square began to bob up and down as if it might be swallowed by the massive waves erupting nearby at any moment.

The trembling of the spatial barriers intensified, gradually edging toward being out of control.

"No problem."

Seeing Ivan had no objections, Doug dispatched the newly freed Shadow Tigon, which directly charged into Black Water Lake, the very poison to others.

Truly deserving of being called 'Child of Shadow,' wherever it passed, the black water calmed.

Ivan paid no attention to the others, his mind entirely on the Shadow Sphere. After it had taken the place of the Shadow Tigon, it immediately was hit by violent energies.

Under the barrage of Shadow Power and space energy, the Shadow Sphere started to swell and deform, twisting irregularly, a sight that was truly terrifying.

He had already taken control of the Shadow Sphere, and the elementary runes sorcery array engraved in it quickly began operating, accommodating more Shadow Power and space energy while transforming these wild energies.

The former was converted into a special power characteristic of shadows, while the latter was refined into pure and mild space energy, even into space energy crystals.

To truly achieve this, Ivan needed to continuously adjust the runes lines, further optimize the Shadow Sphere, and foster a new balance with the Small Bronze Square, thereby securing the spatial fissures. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Sorcerer Ivan, there's no problem, right?" After a while, Solomon asked, "If there is, we'd better think of other alternatives sooner rather than later."

"Solomon, what kind of talk is that? Don't you have confidence in Sorcerer Ivan?" Doug clamored before Ivan could respond.

"I said just in case, in case we're not up to the task. We could look for other strategies, don't you think, Sorcerer Ivan?"

"This empty eel snake's space sack is good, durable and can withstand a lot of mishandling. I think the problem isn't big." Ivan gave an answer that reassured both, "However, in a little while I might need help from you both."
