Above the mage!

Chapter 203 The Role of Expertise

In the afternoon.

Godard came to the Potions Department.

He applied to the Potions Department for permission to go into the water and collect maiden clams on his own, on the pretext that he needed to mix spells and potions in order to learn [Language Proficiency].

This is one of the benefits that the college has always offered to students. Everyone can apply, so the entire application process is very smooth.

"Every day from 9am to 12pm and from 2pm to 5pm, it is open for diving and collecting clams."

The staff from the Potions Department said, "Also, you are only allowed to collect one maid clam, and there will be staff to supervise."

Godd nodded.

He already knew this information before he applied.

After completing the application process and paying a fee of 5 gold coins, Gaode went directly to the waters under the Coolie Cliff where the maiden clams were bred.

Coming here again, Gaode's mood is completely different from a year ago.

Under the watchful eyes of the staff working in the area, Gao De took off his clothes, skillfully dived into the water and dived towards the bottom of the river.

Even after a year, he was still very familiar with collecting clams.

It was already afternoon, but the water at the bottom of the river was still very cold, irritating Gao De's body and making him shiver uncontrollably.

Although he was already a first-ring mage at this time.

However, since he was promoted only yesterday, he hasn't had time to build the spell model of [Tolerate Environment].

Gao De is still in the same situation as when he was doing the admission mission. He can only rely on his body to endure the low temperature at the bottom of the river.

Although his body was shivering slightly from the cold, this kind of cold was far from reaching the physiological limit, so he didn't take it seriously.

Gao De cast [Detection Magic +] and began to search for possible maid clams in the mud at the bottom of the river.

Compared to a year ago, he is one year older and his physical fitness has improved a lot. His breath-holding time underwater has also increased from three minutes to almost four minutes.

Today's luck is not very good.

After surfacing and diving for breath four or five times, Gao De still couldn't find any trace of the maid clam.

But he was not discouraged.

In fact, wasting more time here is exactly what Gaode wants.

Once again into the water.

Somehow, Gao De felt that the river water this time was not as cold as the previous times.

He thought subconsciously that it was probably because his body was gradually getting used to the temperature.

Then, the next moment, some information naturally emerged in Gaode's consciousness:

[After being in cold water for a long time, you begin to adapt to the current environment, your resistance to cold in water increases by 0.1%, your sensitivity to water flow increases by 0.1%, and your oxygen uptake in water increases by 0.1%].

What the hell is this? Gao De was stunned for a moment.

Then he suddenly reacted.

【Adaptive】!
It is the specialty [Adaptive] that he awakened when he was promoted.

This is the role of [Adaptive].

Gao De originally thought that it might take a long time before he could discover the effect of [Adaptation].

Unexpectedly, the secret of the expertise was revealed after just one day.

This is what the so-called “quickly adapting to any environment” means.

Adapting to the environment is the instinct of every living thing.

His expertise lies in speed.

Adapt to any environment, so in the cold river bottom full of undercurrents, it improves cold resistance, water flow sensitivity and oxygen uptake.

In a hot environment, the heat resistance should be improved.
If I am in an environment with a low magic power, will it improve my ability to absorb magic power?
Gaode's mind was instantly opened up, and he came up with many uses of [Adaptive].

Some of them are obvious, while others require verification.

But in short, the vast world of [adaptation] has already been presented to Amap.

This is a specialty with unlimited possibilities in terms of both upper limit and degree of expansion.

Although there are no specific indicators to judge the level of expertise.

But Gao De can now confidently affirm that [Adaptation] is definitely a super expertise.

As Gao De, under the supervision of the staff, was diligently collecting clams in the waters below the Kuli Cliff, the number of people gathering outside the Rune Workshop was also increasing.

However, the increase in manpower did not bring about any commendable progress in cracking the magic circle.

It wasn't until the arrival of Quincy Uther, a senior second-level rune master, that everything began to get back on track.

There are two ways to break the formation.

One is to violently destroy the magic circle, and the other is to use runes to decipher the runes. The magic circle is actually composed of compound runes composed of basic runes, and has its own magic flow trajectory.

You just need to find the key nodes and draw corresponding runes to offset the original runes, thereby cutting off the flow of magic power, and the magic circle will naturally become ineffective.

Avenue to Jane.

The simpler something is in principle, the more difficult it is to actually operate.

The method Quincy Usher is using now is the most brainless exhaustive method.

Try each node one by one.

The magic circle in the rune workshop is, after all, just a protective warning magic circle. It is not offensive and there is no one operating it.

In this case, the mindless exhaustive method is actually an efficient way to break the formation.

The progress of breaking the formation is advancing at a slow but steady pace.

It is only a matter of time before the rune workshop is opened.

If you are lucky, it will be faster; if you are unlucky, it will be slower.

The overall situation has been decided.

The vice chairman became cheerful.

Although the young student was a variable and made the situation a little more complicated, that was all it was.

The student named Gao De won because of his youth, but also lost because of his youth, so some of his ideas are still too naive.

His persistence will be of no use in the face of the strong will of the academy.

Not only did he lose everything, but he also lost his own future.

——Having followed Shell Ian for so many years, the vice chairman knew the dean’s character too well.

He was a vindictive and extremely petty person.

Even though the dean didn't show anything after he reported the situation.

But the vice chairman understood that in Shell's mind, Gao De had already been blacklisted.

As the dean of the academy, Shell Ian has so many ways to make things difficult for a student that it is not even necessary to list them all.

A sharp and piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the rune workshop.

The people who were originally immersed in the complicated runes stopped what they were doing and looked up blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Their faces were filled with confusion and anxiety.

what happened?

The next moment, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the magic circle that they were trying hard to break through flashed with an intense light.

Like an awakened giant beast, it was madly flashing lights of various colors.

These lights are intertwining and entwining, spinning and jumping.

"Stay away!" Quincy Usher, who was in charge of everything, saw this scene, his face changed and he shouted loudly.

The people on the field didn't know the specific situation, but they subconsciously stepped back after hearing it.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar sounded.

The entire rune workshop seemed to be shaken by an invisible force.

The runes on the wall began to peel off, making crackling sounds.

There was a burning sense of chaos in the air.

What followed was a series of violent explosions.

Every explosion was accompanied by a strong fluctuation of magical power, impacting everything around it.

Some people were affected by the fluctuations of magical power, and they staggered or even fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the magic circle was not very aggressive and not fatal. In addition, everyone present was at least a first-level wizard, who was able to react quickly and cast [Shield Spell], so no casualties were caused.

Finally, with a loud bang, the entire magic circle collapsed completely.

The light faded, and the door to the rune workshop collapsed.

The rune workshop that they had been trying so hard to open was now open to everyone.

But
The once orderly scene in the rune workshop has been completely overturned. It is in a mess everywhere, and those finely carved rune images and rune slabs are shattered into pieces.

The rune pen and magic ink that were once used to draw the runes are now nowhere to be found.

Those carefully arranged barriers and energy-guiding devices were torn to pieces by the shock wave of the explosion.

The originally complex and delicate runes on the surrounding walls are now blurred, with only a few places still barely discernible.

The mountains of information and notes containing He Xi's hundreds of years of hard work in the workshop were melted into dust by the violent energy fluctuations.
