[Your current partial panel data is as follows:]

[Soul Strength] 3827 points

[Energy Points] 201253/72 (40+32)

[Do you confirm to attempt Shaping Energy?]

Noland Lee takes a deep breath, sits back in his chair, and silently says in his heart:

“Confirm to attempt Shaping Energy.”

With his command, the four elemental energy groups inside the white dice mix together and whirl rapidly like stirred dye.

The dice’s body slightly vibrates due to the turmoil of the internal energy.

Noland Lee puts it on the table, causing continuous collisions with the tabletop and dice with a cracking sound.

A few seconds later, a deflating sound comes from inside the white dice…

“Hiss~~~~”

Invisible energy fluctuations emit from the dice’s interior and quickly disappear into the surrounding air.

[System Message:]

[This Shaping Energy attempt has failed.]

[You’ve lost 7,000 Energy Points.]

[The Elemental Energy Group you used has dissipated, and the elemental energy concentration has dropped by 30%.]

“An 8% success rate, failure is normal. I just need to create the spell blueprint within 12.5 tries.”

Noland Lee’s expression remains unchanged as he pours new soul energy into the white dice.

“Hum, hum, hum…” The dice slightly vibrates, and the second Shaping Energy attempt begins.

“Crack, crack, crack…” The tabletop and dice intimately contact each other.

“Hiss~~~~” It fails again.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, one more time.” Noland Lee continues to input soul energy.

“Hum, hum, hum…”

“Crack, crack, crack…”

“Hiss~~~”

Noland Lee inputs soul energy for the fourth time.

“Hum, hum, hum…”

“Crack, crack, crack…”

“Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!” The sound of collisions suddenly gets louder!

Noland Lee’s eyebrows jump as he has a bad feeling that the hard-won alchemy array might be ruined by his actions!

He looks at the dice jumping around on the tabletop and has a feeling of conducting a dangerous experiment.

On closer thought, his actions were undoubtedly bold.

If the white dice were to explode, the sudden surge of energy fluctuations would inevitably attract the attention of the Core Circle guards.

At that time, even if he had the casting permission granted by Selena, he wouldn’t be able to avoid wasting some time with the guards…

Noland Lee casts Deconstruction and sees that the “Construct Value” of the Array has unknowingly decreased by more than a thousand points, leaving only 550 points now.

Noland Lee hurriedly casts “Magic Shield”, changing it from a thin film attached to the skin to a shield covering the desk.

This way, even if the white dice really explode, it will most likely only damage the desk and not destroy the study room or hurt Denise Green next door.

At the moment Noland Lee expands the shield, the white dice erupt with the most intense white light so far.

Noland Lee’s expensive alchemical alloy cracks and disintegrates under the intense energy reaction, making an eerie cracking sound that makes people’s hearts tremble.

“Crack, crack, crack, boom~~~~”

The white dice explode, and metal fragments fly everywhere, dazzling light filling the vision.

Noland Lee closes his eyes tightly.

The strong light and explosion come quickly and leave even faster – in just half a second, the light disappears.

The shield covering the desk is not broken, but the tabletop is left with many metal fragments, dents, and small holes caused by energy penetration.

For now, Noland Lee doesn’t check the system message.

He goes to the window and looks at the Deep Sea Wizard flying towards the stone house below.

At the same time, the study room door is opened by Denise Green.

“Noland, what happened?” Denise Green walks in with a concerned face and immediately looks at Noland Lee by the window:

“Are you hurt?”

“No, no…” Noland Lee gives an awkward smile:

“I did a magic experiment and accidentally messed up.”

Denise Green approached and poked around, checking if Noland Lee got hurt. Once she confirmed he was fine, she looked at the broken desk:

“Oh dear, we have to pay compensation now…”

“It’s okay, I’ll talk to the Deep-sea Wizard.” Noland Lee opened the window and waved at the Deep-sea Wizard flying nearby.

Noland Lee explained the situation to the others and paid gold coins to compensate for the desk on the spot.

He also signed a promise that he would rent a Magic Laboratory from the Academy to conduct experiments in the future.

With that, the whole incident was settled.

After the broken desk was handed over to the Deep-sea Wizard and a new desk was placed in the study room, Noland Lee finally had time to check the system message in his mind.

“…Sigh… So that’s what happened… No wonder there was an explosion…”

Noland Lee muttered to himself, his eyes flickering.

Denise Green poked his belly and admonished:

“Don’t forget you signed a promise with others. If you explode a few more times, we might be expelled from the Deep Sea Branch…”

Noland Lee returned to his senses, grabbing her hand and rubbing it twice:

“Alright, I’ll remember. You continue practicing your Meditation Method, I promise I won’t do magic experiments here.”

Denise Green was satisfied with his attitude, giving him a sweet kiss before briskly walking to her study room.

After she left, Noland Lee clenched his fists and waved his arms excitedly.

He did it, he did it!

The Shaping Energy attempt just now was successful!

It was because of the successful Shaping Energy attempt that an explosion occurred!!

The reason was as follows:

During the gradual formation of the Elemental Energy Reactor, its internal energy reaction dramatically increase, and clashed with the Array Space. As the formation process progressed, the conflict between the two sides intensified, causing the “Construct Value” of the Array to rapidly decline.

Finally, at the moment the Elemental Energy Reactor was formed, the “Construct Value” of the Array dropped to zero and exploded.

This explosion not only destroyed the Array but also caused the fragile Elemental Energy Reactor to dissipate.

This series of events happened within ten seconds, but the System accurately recorded everything.

Most importantly, with the formation of the Elemental Energy Reactor preceding the explosion of the Array, the “Elemental Energy Reactor Summoning Technique” spell blueprint appeared in Noland Lee’s mind.

Although the completeness was only 0.01%, it was enough to make him very happy.

…

[Name] Elemental Energy Reactor Summoning Technique

[Type] Shaping Energy Spells, Elemental Spells, Type of Magic Product

[Level] 8

Can not be upgraded with Energy Points; it will be automatically upgraded as the level of “Shaping Magic” improves.

When the level increases, the new Elemental Energy Reactor’s “Construct Value” will significantly improve.

[Tier] Unknown

[Completeness] 0.01%

Follow the instructions of the “Reactor Creation Scheme”, invest more elemental energy, and successfully create a more powerful reactor summoning spell blueprint to increase the completeness of this blueprint.

[Effect]

Consume 70 Energy Points, use this spell on an energy group with 1120, 2270, 3000, and 100,000 points of fire, wind, earth, and water elemental energy, and you will summon an Elemental Energy Reactor with its performance reduced by 99.99%.

This Elemental Energy Reactor outputs 40 points of thunder and lightning energy per second.

This Elemental Energy Reactor has a “Construct Value” of 7000/7000 points.

[Defect]

Due to only 0.01% completeness, the Elemental Energy Reactor’s energy output efficiency is reduced by 99.99%.

…

Noland Lee and Denise Green took a public vehicle from the Core Circle and left the Stone House to rent a Magic Laboratory at the Academy.

He hadn’t realized that Shaping Energy event would cause such a stir…

In the past, he obtained spell blueprints in a gentle and safe manner with the help of the System.

Now, with the “Shaping Energy Technique,” he obtains the spell blueprints by shaping energy.

This method has much more uncertainty compared to using Deconstruction.

Accordingly, the potential dangers will be even greater.

Noland Lee warned himself in his heart.

From now on, if he wants to create spell blueprints using the “Shaping Energy Technique,” he must use a Magic Laboratory or find a desolated place. He can’t be as casual as before.
