Information flows in one direction; the puppet cannot transmit its own experiences and insights back to the main body.

At the same time, this also means that the plan he envisioned, where the stand-in takes on the risks of the Demon Hunter path while the main body enjoys the benefits, cannot be realized for the time being.

The transformation into a Demon Hunter requires real physical change, not just surface simulation.

He checks the panel information again:

[Note: Once the charge reaches 50%, the "Deep Binding" function can be unlocked, enabling two-way information transmission between the stand-in and the main body]

"This might solve the current issue."

Ron pondered, a gleam in his eyes:

"If the puppet can transmit its status back to the main body, then the concept of 'Dual Body Cultivation' and 'unidirectional risk bearing' could possibly be realized."

But right now, the puppet has no charge at all; there's still a long way to go before reaching 50%.

Previously, he had inquired with the Transformer, realizing that the high concentration of Magic Power contained in Magic Stones is actually applicable to all 'rare antiquities.'

But now the workshop has just gotten on track, and his stock of Magic Stones isn't plentiful.

Having tested several times before, a complete Magic Stone only replenished 1%, so he planned to use it for the recording ability of the "Thousand Transformations."

The charging of this "Stand-In Puppet" will have to wait a bit longer.

Thinking of this, Ron continued with several sets of precise experiments, testing various capability boundaries of the puppet.

"As an initial state, this is already quite good."

He concluded: "Despite numerous limitations, the tactical value of the Stand-In Puppet is not to be underestimated."

In combat, a stand-in capable of sharing damage and performing auxiliary tasks would undoubtedly greatly enhance his survivability and tactical flexibility.

Using the puppet to scout, distract enemies, implement a feint strategy, or acting as a scapegoat in times of crisis — these are all highly practical tactical applications.

Most importantly, this Abyssal Treasure indeed has a good compatibility with his "Dual Soul" talent, with an effect far exceeding Hayek's described 'mechanical rigidity.'

But to truly leverage more roles from the puppet, Ron knows what he needs to do: Break through to the Advanced Apprentice stage to gain stronger Spiritual Power.

Only when Spiritual Power reaches a sufficiently powerful level can one better control such complex states of divided consciousness.

Making two bodies work seamlessly, unlike the current barely maintained situation.

"A breakthrough is imperative."

Ron withdrew his spirit from the experiments, retracting the consciousness infused into the puppet.

The puppet's movements immediately stopped, becoming like a marionette with cut strings; the light in its eyes faded, returning to a static, sealed state.

But a subtle connection has already been established.

He carefully placed the puppet, reduced in size after losing its Magic Power, back into the Black Ebony Box, ensuring the seal remained intact to prevent any energy leakage.

Then he proceeded to the preparation room to check the various auxiliary Magic Potions Lilia had already prepared.

The Magic Potion Bottles were neatly arranged on the shelf, each labeled with detailed tags showing the formula, effects, and applicable scenarios.

The "Awakening" and "Spiritual Shield" potions were particularly conspicuous, emitting faint blue and golden glows, quietly waiting for the moment of use.

"Let's begin the full sprint."

Ron looked at the Magic Potions prepared for the breakthrough, his eyes filled with a complex mix of anticipation and caution.

The breakthrough in Meditation Technique typically comes with risks.

The transition of Spiritual Power from quantitative to qualitative is like the moment a kettle is about to boil, both the critical point and the most unstable state.

A minor misstep could lead to total failure, or even irreversible mental damage.

Moreover, Lady Allen had previously warned him:

"Inspiration is both an opportunity and a danger. Many outstanding wizard seeds have lost themselves at this juncture."

Quite unfortunately, he is precisely the kind blessed with high inspiration.

Ron exhaled deeply, his gaze resting on the auxiliary Magic Potions, as if confirming the final safety measures.

He picked up the first Magic Potion, the "Amber Thought Liquid," which can temporarily dispel distractions and enhance mental concentration, aiding the user in quickly entering the state and reducing external interference.

He carefully pulled out the cork, and the potion immediately emitted a faint scent of grass, like the first breath of dawn's breeze.

Ron drank it all in one go, allowing the liquid to slide into his body.

Almost immediately, he felt a refreshing sensation spreading from his throat to his entire body, like a clear stream washing over each cell.

The thoughts that usually emerged endlessly, like fog blown away by the wind, left only pure thinking and focus.

Next, he picked up the second bottle, the "Spiritual Amplification Liquid," which can temporarily increase the activeness of Spiritual Power.

However, the side effect is mild headache after ingestion, and excessive use may even lead to transient hallucinations.

He cautiously took a medium dose, avoiding any potential incident due to over-stimulation.

The slightly spicy liquid slid into his abdomen, spreading like a ball of fire within his body.

He could feel his Spiritual Power being injected with a powerful vitality, becoming more acute.

Finally, he consumed the third "Spiritual Shield" potion, the final insurance measure, specifically intended to resist potential high-intensity Spiritual Contamination.

With the preparations complete, Ron sat cross-legged.

As his body relaxed, his consciousness began to detach from the perception of the physical world, gradually sinking into that familiar state of Meditation.
