[Meditation lv3: 11980/12000]
After three years of relentless effort, Lynch's meditation level finally reached Level 3. The Basic Will Runes in his Sea of Consciousness had grown to three, and he was now just a step away from Level 4.
It's worth noting that the period between Level 3 and Level 4 is also known as the bottleneck period—advancement is incredibly difficult. Just look at the skill level requirements: Level 1 to Level 2 only needs 3000 skill points, Level 2 to Level 3 requires 6000, but Level 3 to Level 4 demands a whopping 12,000 skill points.
This is, after all, the first real threshold on the Wizard's Road. Crossing it means a dramatic leap in rank, advancing from Low-level Apprentice to Mid-level Apprentice, heralding a brand new chapter for the entire journey as a wizard.
Fail to cross it, and that Wizard's Road essentially comes to an end.
This is no overstatement.
