Wizard:Start as a Potion Master

On the lakeshore, it took less than ten minutes for the old butler Warwick to drag a half-dead wizard, covered in werewolf bite marks, and throw him at Sunan's feet.

"Young master, I managed to capture him for you. This guy is surprisingly good at running. He tried to escape into the woods, unaware that his scent betrayed him completely."

"A weakling. I thought he was hiding in the woods to set a trap for me and launch a counterattack, but he genuinely intended to flee."

"His bloodline power should serve as a good supplement for you."

Sunan watched as Warwick reattached his severed right arm to his shoulder with a sizzling sound. The super werewolf's fourfold undead power enabled his flesh and nerves to reconnect, fully restoring his arm.

Warwick flexed his arm, satisfied with the recovery, smiling in contentment.

Sunan found it curious that Warwick, a super werewolf, despite having additional potion skills like the Four Claw Potions, Wolf Bite Potion, Mixed Wolfsbane Potion, and Control Wild Wolf Potion, along with three bottles each of Sleep Bug Potion, Standing Stiff Potion, Firefly Potion, Ghost Wolf Potion, and Ghost Frog Summoning Potion hanging from his belt, could have his arm severed by a one-star bloodline wizard.

The Wind of Apathy was formidable, but with proper preparation, the opponent should have had no chance.

Instead of pondering it himself, Sunan directly asked Warwick, "How did you get injured? Was there an unexpected event, or did the one-star bloodline wizard have other hidden methods?"

Warwick bowed to Sunan, saying, "I apologize, master. The injury wasn't due to a lack of magical prowess but rather my own issue."

He hesitated before continuing, "I have an immature idea."

"You might find it laughable."

"I'm not sure if I should say it. It's related to my combat philosophy, something I've been considering while sparring with Mr. Robert and Mr. Brom recently."

Sunan replied, "Go ahead, I'm listening. Meanwhile, I'll brew some more special version mental strength +3 potions before entering the wizard's relic."

Sunan gestured for Wolf Alpha to bring the cauldron back and crushed a vial of bloodline essence extraction potion in his left hand.

He then pressed his left hand against the back of the half-dead wizard, extracting his bloodline power as the wizard screamed in terror, his eyes wide with fear.

If the wizard died, his bloodline essence would suffer significant loss at the moment of death.

Therefore, the best time to extract bloodline essence was while they were still alive.

The wizard looked at Sunan with terror, as if gazing at a ruthless devil.

What terrified him more was Sunan's complete disregard, treating him as mere experimental material.

This was characteristic of Sunan: once viewing someone as experimental material, there was no need to invest any emotion, whether hatred or dislike.

Warwick explained to Sunan, "I believe that to further improve my combat skills beyond what Mr. Robert taught, I must learn to endure enemy attacks."

"I think true progress in martial arts comes from actually being hit by the enemy's proudest moves and experiencing real physical harm, allowing my muscle memory to retain that sensation."

Warwick squinted slightly. "Young master, honestly, it's a strange feeling. Despite my age, the process feels exhilarating. I can then integrate this sensation with my experience to enhance my skills."

Sunan knew that Warwick had recently surpassed Robert in every aspect and was dominating him in martial prowess.

Warwick even challenged wandering knight squires and a formal storm knight, now loyal to Sunan, within their territory.

Although these individuals lacked strength, they were well-trained in martial skills.

Yet, despite this, Warwick's skills were advancing rapidly, surpassing them.

As Robert once said, Warwick was a martial arts genius whose potential had been restricted by a lack of resources, never fully developed.

This world is filled with wasted talents, geniuses who never discover their true gifts.

Sunan hadn't anticipated Warwick would fully utilize the werewolf's regenerative abilities to create a unique werewolf-centric combat style, learnable only by werewolves.

Sunan nodded at Warwick. "So you're fighting by instinct."

"Some exceptional martial artists do follow the instinctual path rather than relying on accumulated experience. However, this path is usually for geniuses."

"Mr. Warwick, when facing stronger wizards, refrain from using this tactic."

"We lack higher-level wizard data, and the outcome is uncertain."

Werewolves' undead abilities have limitations.

This is inevitable.

Back then, my magical theory and power were not particularly strong.

Warwick acknowledged, "Yes, young master. Thank you for your concern."

Sunan completed another batch of special version mental strength +3 potions and drank one to restore his optimal state.

Countless photons transformed into magical energy, flooding his soul.

High-concentration rays appeared around Sunan, directed toward his soul.

No matter how many times Warwick witnessed it, he found it miraculous.

These high-concentration energy rays could be weaponized to attack enemies, yet under Sunan's precise control, they became advanced potions enhancing a wizard's mental power and physique.

[Your mental power increased by 1, now at 27.]

[Your physique increased by 0.2, now at 2.2.]

Sunan noticed the decreased physique enhancement but wasn't concerned, as the potion's physique boost was secondary. With repeated use, diminishing returns were expected.

With further use, even the mental power boost might slow until its effects diminished.

Thus, planning for a mental strength +4 potion formula and exploring alternative mental power enhancement methods was necessary.

After all, a significant gap likely exists between a first-rank wizard apprentice and a formal wizard, and relying solely on mental strength enhancement potions might not bridge it.

Sunan wasn't worried, as learning meditation techniques offered a backup plan.

He could simultaneously advance the potion system and level up his potion skills while mastering traditional wizard meditation techniques, with no need for incompatibility.
