Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 98: Second Seal, [High Energy Crucible], [Rusty Swamp]

Ronan checked his character panel data at least dozens of times every day, so he was sure that the four master-level proficiency points of [Austerity Body Tempering] were gained after the battle with the Green Thorn Hurricane Queen Bee.

Physical injuries are the only explanation.

Standing there, Ronan carefully recalled the past.

Indeed, after transforming into the [Pure Body], his body has never been injured again.

He had always stayed in the "safe zone" of the Ring of Law and had never experienced a battle that could cause him physical harm.

Being injured seems like a long time ago.

After being promoted to a first-level official wizard, and especially after he switched to ice magic and mastered the realm of despair, he mostly used magic to fight his enemies.

He rarely uses his trump card of physical strength, but once he does, it is usually to crush the opponent with a strong force.

"Yes, the core of the apprentice training method of [Austerity Body Building] is 'self-abuse'. After being promoted to a master, relying on only thirteen body building movements is far from enough. It is reasonable to upgrade the form of 'self-abuse'."

Thinking this way, Ronan felt that the increase in proficiency due to injury made sense.

He had previously focused all his attention on the "subsequent inheritance" and the "mysterious ingredients contained in the God-Burning Potion given by Angele", but neglected the core meaning of the word "asceticism" that [Austerity Body Tempering] has always adhered to.

Of course, clarifying one's thoughts is only the first step. Whether the "injured" practice method is feasible and whether it can really increase the master-level proficiency of [Austerity Body Training] can only be known after experiments.

"Not now, you're already seriously injured, don't torture yourself to death.
Wait until your injury heals before trying again."

Ronan calmed down and continued to clean up the body of the Green Thorn Hurricane Queen Bee skillfully.

After dealing with the corpses here, he has to go into the hurricane beehive again.

In the miniature secret space, Ronan strode in from the entrance and threw a bulging cloth bag in his hand, which looked like it was filled with a lot of things, to the busy Benig.

The bag was caught by Benigo, and a crisp sound of crystals colliding came from inside.

"Here you go, the honey sac of the Green Thorn Hurricane Queen Bee."

Ronan walked to the small metal table placed on the dirt floor in the space, picked up the silver pot on the table and poured a full cup, then he stared at the cup and frowned, but still drank it all in one gulp.

Benig opened the bag Ronan had given him, and a rich sweet fragrance immediately emanated from it. The light coming through the bag turned Benig's face a light green.

His eyes flickered slightly, he closed the bag and looked at Ronan.

Benigo's eyes swept across Ronan's bloodstained robes and the wound on his upper left abdomen. He seemed to notice the subtle changes in Ronan and said, "It seems that you have made a decision?"

Ronan didn't answer, but looked at the alchemy pot that was gurgling and steaming not far away, and asked, "You've been busy for so long, when will these seeds sprout?"

"I'm more anxious than you."

Benigo replied calmly, walked to the alchemical jar, stared at the jar for a while, and whispered: "We have got the Green Thorn Hurricane Royal Honey. If everything goes well, it will probably take one or two months."

One to two months
Ronan's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation.

"rustle--"

At first there was a sound like sand rolling on a smooth mirror, but gradually, even this sound disappeared.

The white circles of light spread out rhythmically again and again, giving people a very peaceful and calm feeling.

In the dim and cramped little house, Ronan slowly opened his eyes.

The azure blue in his eyes was like a sudden flash of lightning, bringing a moment of brightness to the little house.

Stand up and check your character panel.

【Name: Ronan Damien】

【Age: 17】

[Talent: No attribute affinity, Immaculate body (active)]

[Strength: First-level official wizard (46%)]

[Skill: Basic Meditation—Empty and Clear Realm (Master 208/1600).]

I don’t know if it was the process of refining the second soul seal that trained my mental strength, or the fact that my proficiency in [Basic Meditation - Clear State] had exceeded the master level by 200 points, or the tiny effect of the rune array in the environment that promoted meditation while I was inside the magic circle.

Just when Ronan's cultivation progress had just exceeded 45%, in less than seven days, his strength progress climbed another level to 46%.

Facts have proved that people do feel refreshed when happy events occur.

Today's [Realm of Emptiness] has become very efficient in tempering mental power and removing impurities. Not only that, the mental power recovery effect of [Realm of Emptiness] has also been improved from the initial level equivalent to taking a bottle of zero-level intermediate mental power recovery potion at any time to the current level that is almost equivalent to taking a first-level mental power recovery potion at any time.

As long as he didn't over-exert his mental power and frequently cast his trump card spells, Ronan felt that he had no need to worry about not having enough mental power.

In addition to the increase in the total amount of mental power, Ronan felt that the quality of his mental power had also improved a lot compared to when he was promoted to a first-level wizard. If it was like water before, it was now like glue and had become much thicker.

His mental power probed into the space of consciousness, and the results of his seven days of practice appeared before his eyes.

Next to the [Frozen Earth] sigil, there was a new soul sigil. The whole looked like a bunch of silver metal wires tangled together, but in essence it was the core inheritance of the Silver Magic Ring's metal spells - [Shibir's Mithril Transformation], also commonly known as the [Silverization] sigil by magic ring wizards.

During the past few days in the Ring of Magic, Ronan tried to look up relevant information about the name "Spirt", but the information he obtained was very limited. He only knew that he was a legendary wizard who once existed on this continent.

It is unknown how powerful he is, but his profound knowledge is well known. In many fields such as spells, runes, potions, alchemy, etc., he has left behind amazing achievements that have benefited future generations.

The Circle of Magic is not the only wizarding force to obtain the inheritance of Spierte, nor is it the first.

"The place where a powerful wizard existed is like a 'whale fall', which has nurtured countless wizards who came after him."

Ronan sighed softly in his heart. After the second rune was successfully condensed, he once again felt the "feeling of fullness" coming from his soul. When this "feeling of fullness" completely disappeared, he was qualified to condense the next rune.

The [Silverization] talisman was successfully condensed, but Ronan has not tried to use it yet.

Thinking of this, Ronan walked out of the hut.

The light from outside made him squint slightly, and a figure seemed to flash by in his sight. But when Ronan looked again, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

"I don't know who sent these flies."

Ronan didn't care and closed the door of the cabin calmly.

The place where he practiced and lived was a "meditation room" that only formal members of the magic circle were eligible to rent. In fact, it was a group of small metal houses, tightly together, without any additional rune array effects. Sometimes Ronan could even hear snoring from the next room. It was purely because it was within the radiation range of the giant meditation array of the silver giant tower of the seventh magic circle, which had a certain effect on promoting the growth of mental power, but the rent was frighteningly high.

"There is no value for money at all. For a meditation enhancement effect that is not as strong as the sixth sense, I might as well live comfortably outside..."

Ronan left the "meditation room", walked out of the magic circle, and came to the vast forest area.

Ronan found a secluded and deserted place and began to test the effect of his second seal.

The nightmare tungsten flowed out from under the robe like mercury. The nature of the dark material caused a slight burning sensation in the flesh where it flowed through.

As usual, Ronan condensed the Nightmare Tungsten Steel into his usual one-handed sword form, and activated the [Silverization] talisman in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, a strange power originating from the soul was generated, passing through Ronan's body and transmitted to his hands.

Ronan saw the sword in his hand gradually change from pure black to silver-white.

Even the black smoke emitted from the long sword all the time turned into misty silver fog, reflecting luxurious and beautiful colors under the sunlight.

"Shh-"

Ronan swung the sword lightly, and the silver sword drew a clear sword mark in the air, with faint silver ripples appearing.

He flicked the sword twice with his fingers and heard a crisp "ding ding" sound.

"The sharpness and strength are at least doubled."

Ronan came to a preliminary conclusion.

Then he flew quickly towards the depths of the forest.

In the forest area close to the magic circle, all the monsters were killed by the first-level wizards who made a living by hunting. Now if you want to find a monster, you have to go deeper and deeper.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Ronan finally saw a huge, first-level low-level magical beast that looked like a wild boar beside a small puddle that emitted a rotten stench.

He had an impression of this thing. It seemed to be called "Mud-eating Pig" or something. Anyway, its strength was average, and there were few valuable things on its body. The key point was that it had thick skin and tough flesh. The outer layer of hard skin mixed with earth energy particles was comparable to the defense of a first-level intermediate monster. It was smelly, hard and worthless, so it had always been disliked by hunting wizards.

However, it is a great living target for testing spells.

Ronan did not use any spells, but relied purely on his physical strength and the ability to control his body brought by the master-level [Basic Swordsmanship]. He lightly flew to the front of the wild boar monster and raised his hand to strike it right between the eyebrows with a sword.

"Pfft-"

The silver-turned Nightmare Sword easily pierced into the head of the Swamp Pig. There was a slight resistance when it hit the skull, but it quickly broke through after Ronan pressed down a little.

"what?"

Ronan seemed to have discovered some new world. He drew his sword with a surprised look and then quickly retreated.

By the time he had retreated to his original position, the swamp pig that had been stabbed in the head began to howl madly in pain, and started to dig its way into the mud pit beneath it, sending countless mud spots flying everywhere.

Ronan paid no attention to the state of his "victim", his attention entirely focused on the sword in his hand.

Just when he was about to stab with his sword, he discovered that the swamp pig pointed at by the sword clearly saw the coming crisis, but its eyes were confused for a moment, as if it had fallen into some kind of chaotic state of consciousness that it could not control.

Even the pain from the severe brain damage was "delayed" for several seconds before it reacted.

"Is it the special effect of the Nightmare Tungsten Steel?"

For the first time, Ronan realized that the silver mist surrounding the sword in his hand might not only improve its appearance.

With doubts, he conducted more than ten tests in a row and finally confirmed that the Demonic Nightmare Tungsten Steel did have some special ability of "consciousness interference".

In battle, when being attacked by spells mediated by nightmare tungsten steel, mental strength will inevitably be disturbed to a certain extent.

This ability is actually very abnormal. It can disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm at a critical moment, or even cause the opponent to fail in casting spells.

Ronan had previously only used the Nightmare Tungsten Steel as a pure melee weapon and had completely ignored this point.

"Is this what the 'nightmare' in Nightmare Tungsten Steel refers to?"

"Nightmare of Silver Mist."

"No wonder Travis wants this piece of nightmare tungsten steel from Benigo so much. The true value of nightmare tungsten steel may be far beyond my imagination."

Ronan thought thoughtfully.

Then he used the Nightmare Tungsten Steel as the medium to experiment with several other metal-based spells.

Although Ronan had inherited all the first and second level metal spells, he actually didn't learn many metal spells.

In addition to the core spell [Activated Metal], he also learned a first-level offensive spell - [High Energy Crucible], and a first-level control spell - [Rusty Swamp].

The former is to control the metal medium to leave the body and then produce a violent explosion, as if there is an invisible crucible in the air that heats the metal medium you throw out.

The latter is to let one's own metal medium entangle the opponent, causing obstacles to the opponent's movement like rusty metal, and has a certain corrosive damage effect.

After the Demonic Nightmare Tungsten Steel was turned into silver, the power of these two spells was obviously improved.

It's just that Ronan has only just gotten started with these two spells, but with his frequent daily use, his proficiency in [Activated Metal] is almost close to mastery.

The effect of [Activated Metal] is to give the metal medium some kind of "activation" properties, allowing the wizard to better control the metal. It is considered a prerequisite skill for most metal spells.

As the proficiency in [Activating Metal] increases, the "activity" of the metal medium will gradually upgrade, the connection with the wizard will become closer, and the effects of the metal spells released will be better.

After torturing a few unlucky monsters that served as "live targets" to death, Ronan completed the test of his ability in the inheritance of metal magic and could finally move on to the real topic.

——The secret of the master-level proficiency growth of [Austerity Body Building]!

"call--"

Ronan exhaled a breath and took off his robe in an open space with his back against the rock wall.

He was too handsome, and only after his hair was cut short did he look more heroic.

Now that he has taken off his robes, revealing a flawless body, his heroic spirit becomes even more prominent.

Ronan held the sword upside down with the tip pointed at himself, thinking about where to start the first step.
