Above the mage!

Chapter 302 New Ability: Astral Teleportation

ten minutes later.

A bottle of first-level Ice Evil has been completely consumed. No more blue light is flowing out, and the airflow gushing upward from the bottle has completely dissipated.

Under God's mental control, the ice needle flew into his hand.

[Ice Blade] As a first-level spell, the damage is divided into two parts. One is the initial penetrating damage, and the other is the cold damage caused by the subsequent explosion. The attack power of the former is 10 degrees, and the latter is 12 degrees.

The total is 22 degrees.

As an ordinary first-level spell, its total power is more than twice that of [Magic Explosion], which is known as the king of magic damage.

This is the crushing power of high-level spells over low-level spells.

As an advanced spell of [Ice Blade], [Frozen Blade] actually has the same initial power, but its main advantage lies in its longer casting distance and growth potential.

After absorbing a bottle of first-level ice evil, the power of the cold damage caused by Gaode's ice crystal fragments increased by one third to 16 degrees.

The effect of Bingsha is indeed powerful.

Gao De's heart moved slightly, and he took out another bottle of first-level ice evil and began to strengthen his ice crystal fragments again.

After the power of the three bottles of first-level ice evil was completely absorbed by his ice needle-shaped ice crystal fragments, his ice crystal fragments naturally advanced to "first-level frozen blades".

Looking at the Frozen Blade in the palm of his hand, the size and shape did not change, but the color of the whole body became a little darker, and a terrifying chill was accumulated within it.

After upgrading to the first-level Frozen Blade, the piercing damage and cold damage it can cause are both enhanced.

The power of piercing damage increased from 10 degrees to 15 degrees, and the power of cold damage increased directly from 12 degrees at the beginning to 24 degrees.

Although in actual combat, the power of a 39-degree spell is far greater than that of a 15-degree + 24-degree spell, for a first-level spell, this is already a terrifying "numerical monster".

If it is fed with the second-level Ice Evil and upgraded to the second-level Frozen Blade, its power will be unimaginable.

I'm afraid that by then, relying solely on the Frozen Blade, he would be worthy of being called the "King of Output" among the first-ring mages.

When Gaode raided the Icefield Temple, he had already obtained two bottles of second-level Ice Evil.

——It looks like only one bottle is needed to complete the Ice Evil required for advancement, so it shouldn’t be difficult to solve.

But in fact, it is not the case, because it takes five years for a second-level ice cave to produce a bottle of second-level ice evil.

It had only been two years since the last harvest of the Snowfield Guardian's second-level ice cave, so Gaode had to wait another three years before his Frozen Blade could be further improved.

Three years is neither short nor long.

Gao De was not particularly anxious, but with anticipation for the second-level Frozen Blade, he took out the two bottles of second-level Ice Evil.

It cannot be achieved in one step, but absorbing a bottle of second-level Ice Evil Frozen Blade will make you stronger.

Gao De doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder and has to collect all the second-level Ice Evils to upgrade them all at once.

He has always been a "pragmatist" and believes that a bird in the hand is worth ten in the bush.

Open one of the ice bottles.

This time, no air came out.

Gao De looked into the mouth of the bottle and saw wisps of blue air spinning rapidly inside the bottle, like a small tornado. Although it was still sharp and violent, it did not surge upwards.

This is because the concentration of evil energy contained in the second-level ice evil is higher and heavier than magic power, so sedimentation will occur.

Gaode tilted the bottle slightly and pointed the mouth of the bottle at his first-level Frozen Blade.

Soon, wisps of blue evil air were poured out, but they did not disperse. Instead, they gathered around the ice needle as if attracted by a magnet.

The moment the second-level ice evil was poured in, the temperature of the ice needles, which were already extremely cold, suddenly dropped by several degrees, and the blue color all over became deeper and brighter.

At this time, Gaode had put down the bottle and devoted himself to strengthening the Frozen Blade.

His eyes were half-closed, and his mental force had already begun to peel off the power of the second-order ice evil according to the method explained in the [Frozen Blade] spell recipe, and integrated it into his own ice crystal fragments.

In fact, although there is no so-called level limit for the enhancement of [Frozen Blade], in theory, even a first-ring mage can enhance it into a ninth-level Frozen Blade with enough resources.

But theory is just theory after all, because this strengthening process requires mental power to participate in control.

If Gaode's mental strength had not reached 150 after drinking the Ice Jade Wutong Water and receiving the feedback, he would not even be able to strip away the power of the second-level Ice Evil.

However, the strengthening process of the Frozen Blade cannot be delegated to others.

This is because if this process is assisted by others, the ice crystal fragments will be mixed with other people's mental power, which will cause the mage to no longer be able to control his own ice crystal fragments.

Therefore, the second-level Frozen Blade is actually the current upper limit of Gaode's enhancement.

Gaode's mental strength is sufficient, but it just reaches that limit, so it is still very difficult to remove the second-level evil spirit.

According to the standards of the Snowfield Guardian, a bottle of evil spirit is equal to ten strands, and one strand is equal to ten threads.

And he wanted to peel off all ten strands of ice evil into threads, and then slowly merge them into the ice crystal fragments.

It took Gao De more than two hours to complete the task.

The two bottles of second-level ice evil completely dissipated and turned into nourishment for the Frozen Blade.

Although there is still one step away from advancement, after integrating two bottles of second-level Ice Evil, Gaode's ice needle has a touch of crystal blue in the center compared to before.

The amount of cold damage it can cause has reached a terrifying 32 degrees.

Just looking at this number, it may be difficult to understand how exaggerated it is.

Let's make a simple comparison: [Magic Missile] is a very cost-effective and extremely stable first-ring output spell that is widely recognized. The power of one missile is actually only 10 degrees, and the total power of three missiles barely reaches 30 degrees.

Of course, [Magic Missile] is a noble force field damage, which is something that [Frozen Blade] cannot compare to.

Having mastered such a terrifying spell, Gao De believed that although his mage level was still in the early first ring, he would definitely be ranked in the top 10% among all first-ring mages.

Even against a late-stage mage, there is still a chance to win if you plan carefully.

"Find an opportunity to test the damage of the Frozen Blade." Gao De said secretly.

Since being elected as the king of the Zhenbing tribe, he has basically not fought.

After all, in front of so many third- and second-ring Iceborn mages, it was not possible for a first-ring mage like him to take action personally.

Thinking of this, Gao De couldn't help but reflect: "I have indeed been quite lazy recently. In the past, I would actively seek out earth creatures to fight in order to gain the essence to increase my points. Now, I just hang up to gain the essence. It's easy, but if I keep doing this for a long time, I'll easily neglect the battle."

In the world system of supernatural powers, a powerful force can indeed bring him a lot of help, but the most fundamental thing is actually his own strength, this is certain.

The next day.

Caitlin, the newly appointed deputy chief of the Sheriff's Department, brought a piece of news.

After conveying Goder's intention to other hunters, and with Caitlyn's own prestige among the hunters, finally two-thirds of the hunters were willing to swear allegiance to Goder and stay in Phoenix.

The remaining one third of the hunters, perhaps they had other places to go, or perhaps they still had a grudge against the Ice Tribe for destroying the Snowfield Guardian and were unwilling to "recognize the enemy as their father". In short, even if Caitlin came forward, they were unwilling to stay. As for these hunters, God did not make things difficult for them, and set them free as promised before.

Of course, if they do anything improper after leaving Phoenix, don't blame them for being cold-hearted.

With these remaining Snowfield Guardian Hunters and the ten Ice Wizards selected by another deputy director, Elder Lan Wen, the Security Bureau's team was initially formed.

The first thing Caitlyn did after taking office was to follow Godel's orders and go to the major branches of the Snow Guardians established in the North to pick up the orphans and instructors and bring them to Phoenix.

Gaode was also busy. He opened the city map of Phoenix and circled a piece of land closest to the center as the site for the first school in Phoenix.

He is very attentive to the future development plan of the Zhenbing tribe.

The people of the Zhenbing tribe are in awe and have faith in him, and he has benefited so much from them. Regardless of emotion and reason, he should do his best for the Zhenbing tribe.

On the other hand, let alone anything else, just in terms of interests, as the king of the Zhenbing tribe, the strength of the Zhenbing tribe is his strength, and it will also become the foundation for his further progress in the future.

The current Zhenbing tribe is more than enough to support him as a first-ring mage.

But when he becomes stronger in the future and becomes a three-ring or even a four-ring mage, if the Zhenbing tribe remains the same, it will no longer be able to provide him with much benefit.

Therefore, we must help the Zhenbing tribe develop and become stronger.

Compared to joining other forces and "working" for others, it is better to "start your own business" no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, the Zhenbing Tribe is definitely a potential stock!
Just after the order to build a new "school" was issued, Gaode received another good news.

From Flora.

"Mage, Yugatshira is about to grow to the next stage!"

The distance between Phoenix and Yugathira is too far, and both God and Yugathira are too weak. At this distance, the connection between them is completely disconnected.

But Flora is different. The connection that Gode established through the contract is nowhere near as close as the connection between Flora and Ugatshira.

Even though they were so far apart, she could still sense Yugatshira's condition.

"Let's go to Walar Bay!" After hearing the news, Gao De did not hesitate at all.

In his heart, Yugathira's status has always been higher than Phoenix.

Three days later.

Varal Bay.

Riding at full speed all the way, without even taking a break, Goder and Flora finally arrived before Yugatshira grew to the next stage.

With the help of more than ten magic trees, Yugathshila's growth rate was as fast as if he had taken golden Ke La, extremely vigorous.

Compared to two months ago, Yugatshila is now more than fifteen feet tall, and side branches have grown from the trunk.

Although these side branches are still relatively slender and soft, it is foreseeable that they will become thick and strong branches in the near future.

The leaves grew more luxuriant, forming a tree canopy.

Every leaf is blooming with colorful light in the same way. From afar, the connected colorful lights look like a nebula, extremely gorgeous.

But the price of beauty is that it is too eye-catching, especially in the dark, it is as dazzling as the sun.

According to Elder Gain's report, as the colorful light became more and more prominent, more and more underground creatures and beasts were attracted.

Moving towards light is the instinct of most creatures.

If they want to hide the light of Yugathhira a little, they can only wait until the trees planted around it grow.

As Yugathira grew rapidly, the area of ​​land it transformed also increased from half an acre two months ago to nearly ten acres today.

The concentration of magic power in these plots of land is also much higher, infinitely close to 10, and it will only take a moment for them to become basic spiritual lands.

In this nearly ten acres of land, there are more than thirty small saplings planted here and there, each no taller than three feet high. The fifteen-foot-tall Yugathhira stands out from the crowd like a towering tree.

"In half a day, Yugatshila will be able to grow to the next stage, from the larval stage to the ranks of the first-level magic plants."

Coming under the holy tree, God felt the close connection with Yugathixila again, and also sensed the exact time of its advancement.

This progress not only marks a significant increase in its power, but also means that it will unlock more mysterious abilities.

With an inexplicable feeling in his mind, Gao De sat cross-legged under the tree, practicing the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra while waiting.

As the technique was practiced, wisps of green plant essence emerged from the surrounding saplings and, as if drawn by an invisible force, swam towards him, entered his body, transformed into magic power, and accelerated his practice.

Of course, these trees are still too young and their number is too small, so the plant essence they can provide is imperceptible, and the benefits of spiritual practice brought by them are far from comparable to those of a fourth-level spiritual land.

Time passes slowly.

Half a day later.

Yugath-Shila has finally reached its moment of advancement.

All its leaves seemed to be touched by an invisible force, shaking violently and making rustling sounds.

Immediately afterwards, a silver light suddenly lit up, which were ancient seal marks.

They moved and intertwined on the surface of the tree trunk at an incredible speed. In just a blink of an eye, these seal marks gathered into a complex and strange silver rune.

It shone brilliantly on the trunk for a moment, then slowly disappeared into the wood, leaving behind only a seemingly ordinary gray mark, like a naturally formed pattern.

Boom!

The next moment, a powerful vitality burst out in Gaode's body, causing him to instantly lose consciousness. He subconsciously closed his eyes to absorb this vitality.

In a trance, Gaode seemed to have turned into a tree species, going through a process of taking root, sprouting and growing.

"My life span has increased by another thirty years, and my spiritual power has increased to 186."

After a long time, Gao De opened his eyes.

A dark green light flashed in his eyes.

An undisguised look of joy appeared on his face.

He accurately sensed the changes that had taken place in his body after this experience of repaying the kindness.

With a mental power of 186, under normal circumstances, the upper limit of the mental power of a first-level late-stage mage is 199.

With such a high level of mental strength, apart from anything else, the daily practice time alone can almost be doubled, which is equivalent to doubling the progress of practice.

But what really made Gao De happy was something else.

He looked with shining eyes at the hidden gray mark on the trunk of the Yugathixila tree.

That represents the special ability that Yugatshira awakened after entering the ranks of the first-level magic plants:
Astral teleportation!
