Above the mage!

Chapter 178 The final sprint
There are four new spells, among which [Dancing Lights] is similar to [Light], both of which are lighting spells.

However, the two are applicable in different scenarios, have their own characteristics, and can complement each other.

[Primal Strike] is similar to [Cat Claw].

The difference is that [Primal Strike] can only be effective once, while [Cat Claw] can be effective for up to one minute.

However, it does not mean that [Cat Claw] is a higher-level spell than [Primal Strike]. Firstly, [Primal Strike] has an attack range of five feet, and secondly, it can also work on teeth.

In some situations, it can still work wonders.

As for [Spark Magic], it is a purely functional spell that is used to start fire.

Of course, most fire elemental spells can start fires, but the problem is that there is no way to control the power.

For example, if you use the [Fire Arrow] to light a fire, the fire will start, but it will also explode.
Professional matters should be left to professional spells.

[Fire Magic] is a more comprehensive spell that combines the effects of lighting and attack.

In short, in this world, there is no such thing as "substitution" for spells, at least among spells of the same level.

Even spells that look similar have their own unique effects.

After disassembling the spell model, Gaode began to try to construct the spell model on the spot.

The first benefit of the soul being cleansed and sublimated by the "Water of the Deep Sea of ​​Soul" soon became apparent.

The surge in mental strength made it easier and more convenient for Gaode to construct spell models.

In the past, it took one to three days to successfully build a trick model.

And now, on the night when he obtained the four spell formulas, Gaode constructed the spell models of [Spark Spell] and [Fire Spell] in the Spell Star Sea at one time.

In the following two days, he also mastered [Primal Savage Strike] and [Dancing Light Technique] respectively.

It took three days to master four spells.

Even a first-level mage would not be able to match this speed.

The number of spells in Gaode's spell library has officially reached 32.

His next priority was to accumulate 30 credits and unlock a new spell list in the college library.

In the magic experiment field, inside the apprentice's private room.

The puppet was slightly blackened by the electric shock, and the words popped up on the "display screen" of its eyes at the right time:

"Category: Lightning Damage."

"Attack power: 8 grams of magic crystal equivalent."

Having mastered many new spells, Gao De strictly followed what instructor Faron said in the "Spell Application and Combat" class, and immediately went to the spell experiment field and opened a private room for half an hour to conduct spell training.

It is also a test of the power of the spell.

The attack power of [Lightning Pull] is 8 degrees, which is the same as [Fire Arrow].

Afterwards, Gaode tested some other spells.

【Cat Claw】: Magic damage, attack power 8 degrees.

The so-called magic damage is spell damage without any characteristics.

The advantage is that it is applicable in any situation.

For example, a spell that deals fire damage will be useless in water, or a spell that deals freezing damage will be useless in a volcanic environment.

But spells that deal magic damage will not encounter any of the above situations.

The disadvantage is that it is not targeted.

Of course, this is not a big disadvantage in Gaode's opinion. The real disadvantage is: melee spells.

[Primal Strike]: Strong acid damage, attack power 10 degrees.

Of course, Gaode conducted the test using fingernails.

The scene of biting the puppet with teeth was too beautiful to be imagined.

But in short, when Gaode got the power of the original brutal attack, he was still shocked.

The power of 10 degrees is the best among all the tricks he mastered, and can even be on par with [Magic Energy Explosion] which is known as the king of trick damage.

Of course, although the power is equal, the actual gap is still huge.

A concise evaluation: one is a melee spell, and the other is a ranged spell.

No comparison!
In the spell evaluation system, although this is not absolute, it is still applicable in most cases - "range is truth".

[Fire Spell]: Fire damage, attack power 8 degrees

The damage is actually OK, but the speed of the flame is like a tortoise and a hare compared to the flaming arrow.
First-level training room. Gao De opened his eyes, his face full of joy, without any trace of fatigue from training.

Because the second benefit brought by the Soul Deep Sea Water is also manifested at this time.

The strength of mental power can also reversely drive the improvement of the efficiency of practicing the guidance method.

In most cases, for a mage, it is a blessing that his mental power does not hinder the progress of his guidance magic practice.

Gaode is now experiencing the feeling of being driven in the opposite direction.

Now, the improvement in his progress from practicing the Guidance Method once was actually equivalent to 1.5 times of practice before.

"At this rate, my guidance method will be able to advance one small level in a little over a month."

"I am still six small levels away from perfecting the Guidance Method, which will take about six months."

"With six months left, my meditation skill is only one level away from perfection, so I should be able to master it."

"That is to say, in this year's Frozen Moon, I will be able to reach the level of a third-class mage apprentice and begin trying to advance to a first-ring mage."

After thinking about it this way, Gaode was suddenly full of motivation.

time flies.

Three of the remaining six courses at Gaode: "History of Race", "Pharmacological Research" and the first phase of "Basic Cultural Courses" all came to an end this month.

All three courses are theoretical courses.

So Gaode, as expected, scored full marks in three subjects again, once again giving a group of "credit-poor students" a little shock.

After successfully completing three courses, his credits finally exceeded 30.

However, it has only been a month since I last purchased a spell formula.

In addition, it only takes one day for Gaode to construct a magic spell model, so he is not in a hurry to buy the newly unlocked spell formula.

After all, mastering four spells in one month seems too exaggerated no matter how you look at it.

A man's talent is like a woman's beauty.

Appropriate excellence can bring more opportunities and attention.

But if you are too outstanding and don't have the corresponding strength or background to support you, it will become a bad thing.

Gao De still understood this simple truth.

Since admission was through letters of recommendation, Gaode’s time of entering the college was not standard.

His first school year began on the 2nd of the Dark Moon.

Naturally, it also ends on the 2nd day of the Dark Night Moon.

As for Youlan, he followed the standard procedure and passed the admissions assessment of Seres College on the 1st of Frost Gold Month and entered the college.

His first year will end a month later than Gaode's.

The shortest duration of the college's courses is three months.

Although after Gaode completes all the remaining courses, his total credits will be two credits higher than Youlan's.

But this advantage is not big enough.

It is entirely possible that Youlan would take additional elective courses under Hua Yanyue and launch a sneak attack.

By then, it would be unlikely for Gao De to be with You Lanjuan.
Because there were only two months left in his first year, he was unable to complete a full course within that year.

Gaode doesn't want to see half a year's hard work go to waste.

More importantly, he desperately needed the 100 gold reward for being the top freshman in terms of credits.

So to be on the safe side, Gaode chose two additional branch courses for himself, each lasting three months.

One is an advanced branch course under Alchemy called "Utilization and Reclamation of Spiritual Lands", which can only be taken after reaching 30 credits.

The other course is "Survival Skills in Extreme Environments".

This course is specifically designed for students who aspire to make a living by hunting earth creatures after graduation.

After all, once you set out on this journey, you will spend most of your time sleeping in the wild.

It is inevitable to encounter bad weather or step into extreme environments.

There is no doubt that this course is also a necessity for Amap.

The tuition fee for these two courses is 30 gold in total, which can bring 3 credits to Gaode.

This way, his lead will reach 5 points.
