Agu, who had been by Saul’s side and watched him establish the Purity Wizard Tower, naturally knew that Saul could absorb Black Tide pollution from other people’s bodies through his own soul body.

It was just that even Saul had unexpectedly fallen into a coma after absorbing pollution for the first time, and was even captured by Pei’er, who was still an old witch at the time.

After that, every time Saul helped someone absorb pollution sources, he would separately extract and strictly store the soul body containing the pollution.

He wouldn’t actually absorb the pollution sources into his own body.

But now, the powerful attraction generated by his body could actually make Black Tide pollution ignore isolation and sealing formations, directly transforming into black smoke and drilling into Saul’s body.

“Saul is absorbing Black Tide pollution!” Agu was so anxious he even forgot to address Saul as master.

Ann, who had been busy preparing materials with her head down, suddenly looked up. “How could he be absorbing pollution?”

“It might be that the sealing formation isolated the elemental particles inside, so he started absorbing other things not subject to confinement.”

A fierce glint flashed in Ann’s eyes. “Then destroy the confinement formation!”

“Wait!” Byron stopped Ann. “Even if you destroy the sealing formation now, you can’t stop Saul from absorbing Black Tide pollution.”

He exhaled and grabbed the dozen bottles of potions he had just prepared, walking directly into the isolation formation.

This formation could dispel scattered active particles in the air, but had no dispersing effect on finished potions—that is, magical potions whose inertness had risen to a certain degree.

Byron had Ann continue preparing materials, sending them in one by one as they were completed.

Ann bit her lip but finally lowered her head to continue working.

She chose to trust Byron not because Byron appeared so powerful, but because Saul had chosen to let Byron watch over his body before falling asleep.

She trusted her master!

Agu hesitated for less than two seconds before following Byron and stepping into the confinement formation.

“What else can I do?”

He vaguely knew what Byron was going to do, but since he hadn’t participated in the experiments before, he wasn’t clear on the specific steps.

Byron directly handed Agu a bottle. “Help me apply this to Saul’s wrists and ankles. Apply more, in case it evaporates too quickly.”

Since he had chosen to trust, Agu immediately carried out Byron’s command seriously.

Byron took out a potion, forced open Saul’s mouth, and roughly poured it down his throat using a funnel.

While doing this, he explained to Agu and Ann.

“Saul and I have been researching the Inertization Formula. It’s about making active Black Tide pollution become extremely inactive black powder. The Ice Lock formation design ideas we got from the Stargate Council also brought me new inspiration.”

“I plan to use the ice sealing design concept to freeze the active Black Tide ‘pollution,’ while also freezing Saul to maintain his physical state until he wakes up and can control himself.”

Ann’s eyes lit up after hearing this, showing some delight on her face.

But Agu grabbed Byron’s wrist with a serious expression and asked, “Have you done verification experiments?”

The distance between inspiration and practice could sometimes span an entire ocean.

How could Agu feel at ease letting Byron apply an unverified experimental approach directly to Saul?

Byron said steadily, “Overall verification hasn’t been conducted yet, but the key steps and logical relationships have been sorted out.”

Agu shook his head. “Then I can’t…”

“I believe that even without our help, Saul could survive this accident.” Byron suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Agu’s words. “But in his current state, if we don’t intervene, even if he wakes up, he’ll need a long time to recover and recuperate. Then he’ll definitely miss the third-rank wizard selection.”

Byron gradually pried Agu’s fingers off his wrist one by one.

“I think Saul absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to fail in this selection.”

“Rather than wait for unknown but non-fatal pollution to appear on him and hope its impact on him won’t be too great, I’d rather hold the probability of success in my own hands.”

Ann’s mouth gaped open.

This Byron had been at the wizard tower for some time now.

In Ann’s impression, Byron was enthusiastic about research, had average abilities, and was usually a person of few words.

But she hadn’t expected him to be so eloquent.

Agu frowned. If it were him, he wouldn’t accept this kind of incomplete experiment.

But thinking of Saul’s personality, Agu also knew that if Saul were awake now, he would probably agree with Byron’s approach.

It was just that Agu couldn’t completely convince himself yet.

Byron ignored Agu. As long as he didn’t interfere, he could stand there and agonize all he wanted.

If Agu still tried to stop him later, Byron would have to use his trump card.

After all, it was just a soul body that was barely second-rank. Byron was confident he could control him and make him jump out the window himself.

Fortunately, after agonizing, Agu ultimately didn’t come forward to continue stopping Byron.

After applying several potions to Saul’s body or pouring them into his mouth, Byron began inscribing micro magical formations on Saul’s wrists, ankles, and forehead.

These formations would channel the power of ice sealing, cooperating with the potions on and in Saul’s body to freeze the active elements and pollution on him.

Just as Byron was carefully inscribing formations on Saul’s body, Saul in the consciousness space finally realized something was wrong.

Without waiting for the diary to come out with a warning, he sensed that his mental power was somewhat chaotic.

He even heard the sound of ocean waves.

As if returning to the time when he first absorbed Black Tide pollution, when those black tidal waters invaded his consciousness space.

Saul, whose body was covered inside and out with colorful pupil eyeballs, instantly closed his gray eyes.

He even refused to accept the visual impact brought by the colorful pupils, focusing entirely on sensing the changes in his soul body.

“Pollution has entered my body and is currently having a certain impact on my soul body. But because the doors within my body are opening for the first time, magic power is surging in too quickly, and my mental power is unprecedentedly abundant, causing me to become numb to other external perceptions.”

Saul’s discovery of his spiritual body’s abnormality relied on the ability he had newly mastered when advancing to second-rank.

He felt that the glowing thread cluster in his consciousness was restlessly agitated.

As if someone had stepped on the cat tail of his fate lines.

This was a more direct perception of danger than intuition.

So Saul immediately jumped out of the joy of opening doors and calmly examined his recent changes and the external dangers to his body.

“Opening doors is indeed a very dangerous thing.” Despite the urgent situation, Saul could still analyze calmly.

His consciousness spun rapidly. “Normally, second-rank wizards exploring the path to third-rank can only vaguely sense the existence of doors, and might only be able to slightly shake the doors within their bodies with all their strength. But the stars directly opened all the doors in my body, causing my external self to encounter danger.”

“Although I can now leave the consciousness space and wake up in time, once I leave the consciousness space, I won’t be able to precisely sense the doors within my body like I can now.”

“At that time, it would probably be very difficult for me to close the doors within my body. I must close the doors here first before I can leave!”

“But the speed can’t be too slow either, or my body will suffer too much pollution, which might delay my advancement to third-rank… In that case, it would be better to use this opportunity to directly risk thoroughly mastering the doors within my body!”
