Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 137 Level , Failure

According to Soraya, when they were hunting the third-level cold-scale python, two small second-level ones also jumped out. All of them, more or less, awakened a trace of the bloodline of the ancient ice crystal demon snake.

I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect the process to be so smooth.

The three cold-scaled pythons were all drained of energy and their strength was less than one-third of their normal level, as if they had just experienced a great battle.

The four third-level wizards easily resolved the battle, killing one of the three-headed cold-scale pythons and capturing two alive.

The people from the three major wizard families in Baishi Castle were still very happy, because the harvest was greater than they expected. Now they are probably thinking about how to replenish the lost essence and blood of the two captured cold-scaled pythons, and they are also arguing about how to distribute the two cold-scaled pythons.

But this result is not good for Soraya.

Soraya took the essence and blood of three cold-scaled pythons respectively. The blood of the one with the strongest aura was quite different from what she expected.

"I won't help you with the blood transplant for now."

Soraya said to Ronan: "First complete the talent transplantation and blood transplantation, and then we can talk about it after the three major wizard families find a way to restore the blood concentration of the two cold-scaled pythons.

The ancient ice crystal snake blood contained in this blood essence is too thin, almost no different from the blood of an ordinary cold-scaled python. It is not worth your risk.
Bloodline transplantation does not need to be carried out at the node where the spiritual power crystallizes into shape."

Ronan nodded and looked at the blood clot in Soraya's hand. It would be a lie to say he was not disappointed. After all, he was almost ready for the blood transplant.

Now that I tell him that I can't do it, I can't help feeling a little empty inside.

However, this result is not all bad. Ronan has not yet planned to reveal the secret of the "Holy Blood Tree" in front of Soraya.

After leaving White Stone Castle, he might be able to find suitable blood for purification and transplantation on his own. He had already obtained the core technology of blood transplantation from Soraya.

"Could the abnormality of the Frost Scale Python be related to the group of black-robed wizards who suddenly broke in?"

Ronan thought of the unexpected encounter with Angelet and his group.

He remembered that Basil of the Silver Ring had told him that after the destruction of Hoddam College, the Deathrattle Forest that was competing with it for the Key of Nefer was also crushed by the Scarlet Tower, a behemoth in the black wizard land.

Angele escaped from the Forest of Deathwhisper and even killed two second-level wizards while escaping.

Judging from his current appearance, he seems to have joined another black-robed wizard force, and is doing well there, holding a very respected status.

"I don't think so."

Soraya shook her head and said calmly, "Those bugs from the Black Nightmare Swamp were watching from the side when we were hunting the Frost Scale Python, but it seems they were not here for the Frost Scale Python.

I guess they didn't expect our existence.

I guess...it might be related to the ancient ruins next to the snake's nest...
However, after the four of us, the third-level wizards, carefully inspected the inside and outside of the snake's nest several times, but did not find any clues.
The ruins have been destroyed by the Frost Scale Python, and perhaps they were injured for this reason..."

"Black Nightmare Swamp..."

When Ronan heard the word mentioned by Soraya, he kept it in mind, nodded and said nothing more.

"Okay, get ready to advance to level two."

Soraya stopped talking to Ronan and told him to get ready.

At this time, there were two rune arrays arranged on the floor of the room, one large and one small, nested inside and outside.

Ronan walked to the center of the magic circle and sat down, taking off his robes, revealing his smooth and perfect upper body.

The outermost magic circle is the crystallization magic circle required for advancement from level one to level two, and the innermost is the rune magic circle for talent transplantation. Everything has been prepared, with only the final preparation remaining.

Soraya divided the third-level cold-scaled python's blood essence in her hand into several portions, and performed a series of complicated preparations on each portion. Then she stepped into the magic circle and used the prepared cold-scaled python's blood essence as material to paint on Ronan's body like painting.

The process was not long. It took Soraya half an hour to draw various twisted runes in the shape of teardrops all over Ronan's body.

Including his neck and cheeks, all the lines point straight to the center of his eyebrows.

When the last stroke was completed, Soraya withdrew from the magic circle and drew an unknown magic symbol in the air in front of her with her right hand. A faint mental power surged out from her fingertips, and together with the invisible symbol, it turned into a ray of light and shot into the magic circle on the ground.

With the guidance of spiritual power, the outer layer of the crystallized magic circle began to activate, emitting tiny streams of light, like a complex and sophisticated machine running.

Ronan, who was standing in the center of the magic circle, suddenly felt an invisible pressure quietly building up.

This pressure did not act on the body, but fell on his mental power in a rather strange form.

It was similar to the pressure he felt when he first faced Soraya, a level 3 wizard with her full mental power, but of course much milder.

As the magic circle operated, the pressure gradually increased. Ronan closed his eyes and began to enter a state of meditation.

In the space of consciousness, Ronan "saw" that his ball of solid and liquid coexisting mental power was trembling slightly under the pressure released by the magic circle. Under normal circumstances, the transformation of mental power had already begun at this time.

However, Ronan's mental power purity is far higher than that of an ordinary late-stage first-level wizard, so the current pressure is far from enough for him.

He also took this opportunity to call out his own [Frozen Soil] talisman and began to improve and upgrade it in the direction of [Tundra Frozen Soil] according to the inheritance given by Soraya.

The pressure from the crystallization array still needs a period of "warming up" before it can reach the requirement to further crystallize Ronan's mental power, so the process of upgrading the talisman is still quite leisurely.

Ronan had already memorized the rune of [Tundra Frozen Soil] by heart, and after careful "carving", he easily upgraded the entire rune.

Then he took the solidifying potion in his hand and waited for the pressure of the crystallization array to rise sharply.
"Kaka——"

Finally, the ball of mental power lingering in his mind began to collapse inward, just like a fluffy snowball being squeezed into an ice cube bit by bit.

Ronan also felt a slight pain in his soul.

He called out the [Tundra Frozen Soil] seal that had already been condensed in his consciousness space and pressed it into the shrinking ball of mental power.

This is another important point that makes Level 2 wizards stronger than Level 1 wizards.

The soul sigil of a second-level wizard will exist in the spiritual power crystal, so the connection with the spiritual power will become closer, the activation speed of the sigil will become faster, and the effect it can produce will far exceed that of the first level.

"Linus! Get ready..."

When the [Tundra Frozen Soil] talisman was completely imprinted into the mental power ball, the mental power ball that originally existed as a mixture of solid and liquid was almost completely crystallized, shrinking to less than one-tenth of its original size. Soraya's reminder sounded in Ronan's ears.

Ronan took a deep breath and clearly felt something was rapidly entering his body and rushing towards his mind. From the perspective of others, Ronan, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room, had activated the second rune array around his body. Countless rune lights were drilling into his body. The countless rune patterns on the surface of his body began to melt rapidly like damp oil paint, and then slowly seeped into his skin.
The special liquid medicine mixed with the essence and blood of the third-order cold-scaled python re-condensed in Ronan's mind. What Ronan had to do now was to use the liquid medicine to condense the [Cold Soul] before his mental power was completely crystallized, and then take the opportunity to embed it into the crystal.

It's like fusing two sigils into one spiritual power crystal.

However, the [Cold Soul] talisman, which is condensed with the essence and blood of magical beasts, will be consumed every time it is activated. When all the magical beast's blood is consumed, the talisman will disappear.

The monster's blood essence, which had undergone a series of preparations and treatments by Soraya before, would automatically take away most of the impurities after the talisman was completely consumed, and would have little effect on mental strength and soul power.

If a normal wizard performs a "talent transplant", this step will not occur, and the problem of mental and soul pollution will be much more serious.

This is also a technical method that many wizarding families in Whitestone Castle do not disclose to the public.

Ronan endured the shock in his soul and quickly used the blood essence of the monster that seeped into his mind to condense the [Cold Soul] talisman. Just like he had just imprinted the [Tundra Frozen Soil] talisman, he also imprinted the [Cold Soul] into the crystal body of his mental power, which had only the last bit left.

Then he opened the solidifying potion that he had prepared long ago and drank it quickly.
In an instant, a light suddenly shone in Ronan's mind.

As if a clear, beautiful and melodious sound was heard, an almost transparent crystal was finally formed.

In the crystal clear crystal, the soul symbol belonging to the [Tundra Frozen Soil] is like a mysterious pattern that grows naturally in it. The edge of the symbol extends with tiny invisible veins, which are closely connected with the entire spiritual power crystal.
"call--"

As this spiritual power crystal was completely formed, the air around Ronan began to sink. A powerful pressure emanated from his body, causing gusts of violent air currents in the silent room.

Soraya, who was standing at the edge of the magic circle, raised her hand slightly, and all the air currents disappeared immediately. The room returned to calm again. Only Ronan, who was sitting in the middle of the room, seemed to be "shine", and had become the largest "light source" in the room.

At the same time, new changes were taking place in Ronan's mind.

The [Cold Soul] symbol that he had successfully embedded into the crystal suddenly shattered silently after the spiritual power crystal was formed, and then turned into a pool of turbidity and was quickly squeezed out.

Only a tiny bit of light blue remained on the surface of the crystal, which melted quickly like snow.

In a trance, Ronan seemed to see a huge dark blue snake shadow vaguely, but it only flashed before his eyes and then disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of inspiration and insights about ice magic inexplicably arose in his mind, and his understanding of ice magic seemed to rise to another level in an instant!
"Om-"

Silent energy fluctuations emanated from his body, and countless mysterious auras emerged, forming three different extraordinary powers, which intertwined with each other, as if they were about to merge into one.
"Linus!"

Soraya, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and felt the aura of the three extraordinary realms. For the first time, an expression of shock appeared on her beautiful face.

Then a strong and strange light bloomed in her eyes, and her whole body became slightly excited.

"Linus my exceptional Linus."

She called softly, her face filled with unspeakable joy and happiness.

The vision of the interweaving and merging of the Dharma domains only lasted for a few breaths before it abruptly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Ronan, who was sitting cross-legged with his upper body naked within two rune arrays, suddenly opened his eyes. The not-so-bright room suddenly blossomed with a brilliant azure color, which slowly dimmed after a long time.

Ronan slowly stood up from the center of the magic circle, his long white hair draped over his shoulders dancing in the wind. His entire body was shrouded in a layer of strange light, and a huge and invisible force field was rolling around him. He looked like a top-grade gem that had been carefully wiped with silk, radiating incomparable brilliance.

Finally reached level two.

Ronan exhaled lightly, and the activated Neiman metal turned into a gray robe with silver edges and was draped over him.

At this moment, Ronan felt that the whole world in front of him seemed to have become much clearer. The free energy particles active around his body had never been so close to him as they were now.

This is the most intuitive change brought about by the improvement of mental power and soul power.

【Name: Ronan Damien】

[Strength: Level 1 Formal Wizard (%)]

On the character panel, the strength has changed from level 150 (1%) to level (%), and he is one step closer to stepping out of the fog.
Ronan roughly felt that his total mental strength was now almost ten times what it was before.

His original mental power was three times that of an ordinary first-stage wizard, which means that his mental power is now at least thirty times stronger than an ordinary first-stage wizard in "quantity"!
This does not include the added value in terms of “quality”.

At this time, Ronan had tried his best to restrain his mental power, but the mental power fluctuations that naturally emanated from his body still caused the surrounding air and light to collapse and distort. This was definitely not something an ordinary second-level wizard could achieve.

"The spells I used before are now released with the help of Level 2 mental power, and their power has probably been completely transformed."

Ronan was even a little impatient and wanted to summon a spell at random to try it out and compare the difference with the late level one.

Linus

A gentle call brought Ronan back to reality from his own experience.

"Aunt Soraya."

He responded respectfully.

At this moment, Soraya was looking him up and down with a look as if she was admiring a rare treasure, with a smile on her lips and a strange look in her eyes. The closeness and concern in her eyes seemed to be several times stronger than before Ronan's breakthrough.

"good boy"

Soraya waved him over, gently stroked his long hair, and whispered, "You are destined to be a member of my Lanster family. The 'Ice Flame Iris' totem emblem will become more dazzling and brilliant because of you."

Ronan listened to Soraya's soft whisper in his ear, pondered, and raised his right hand.

I saw some dark red liquid oozing out quickly from under the skin of his right palm. That was the essence and blood of the cold-scaled python that he had absorbed before and had undergone special treatment. Now it was being excreted from his body like waste.

"Failed"

Ronan smiled bitterly and said with some shame: "I wasted this blood and essence in vain. Perhaps the talent of the Frost Scale Python is really not suitable for me."

Yes.

Ronan's "talent transplant" ultimately failed.

Ronan himself guessed that it might be related to the fact that his mental power had been purified once and its quality was too pure.

After crystallization, the mental power would not allow any impurities to remain inside, so that the [Cold Soul] symbol that had already been condensed was actively expelled as impurities.
