Above the mage!

Chapter 631 Third Ring Specialty: [Resonance of All Laws]

A pure, white light suddenly exploded before Gao De's eyes.

It is more dazzling than the blazing sun, yet gentler than the moonlight.

Even more strangely, the light did not dazzle Gao De in the slightest; instead, it made his consciousness clearer than ever before.

A strange, indescribable feeling welled up in Gao De's mind.

It's like all the information that has been scanned: spell models, mana status, physical traits, cross-dimensional knowledge, and even the strange power contained within the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.
At this moment, they converge, collide, and merge like rivers flowing into the sea.

The feeling of dizziness didn't occur; instead, there was a sense of sudden enlightenment and clarity.

It was as if the fog that had been lingering in my mind for so long had been blown away in an instant.

His consciousness did not rise to the surface, but instead settled down as if sinking into the deep sea.

Going deeper and deeper, until it touches the very source of its own power.

Finally, the intense white light before Gao De's eyes gradually lost its sharpness, transforming into countless flowing points of light.
Each point of light contains a unique power or information, like stars in the universe, each twinkling in its own way, yet attracting one another.

These points of light began to move slowly, approaching, colliding, and connecting with each other.

In just a few breaths, countless points of light intertwined to form a vast network that covered the entire space of consciousness.

The instant this network took shape, a grand and clear message, like an ancient divine oracle, devoid of any emotion yet imbued with undeniable authority, was etched deeply into the depths of his soul like a brand:

You have mastered over a hundred multi-elemental and multi-school spells, possess a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, and have the foundation of different cultivation methods. The vitality of green wood and the chilling coldness of pure ice complement each other, and the enhancement of many physical constitutions touches upon the enlightenment source of the essence of spells. All your qualities point to the ultimate truth of the law.

The myriad laws of heaven and earth, though seemingly isolated, actually contain a hidden resonance.

You will touch the hidden laws of resonance between spells and gain the extraordinary ability to fuse spells.

[All things resonate].

This is the expertise that Gaode Third Ring Road has awakened.

【Resonance of All Spells】: When you master multiple spells of the same or lower ring at the same time, and these spells have potential connections in terms of elements, concepts or schools, you can temporarily merge them to create resonance casting that far exceeds the effect of a single spell.

The moment all the information was completely etched into Gaode's soul, the vast network covering the space of consciousness began to shrink and coalesce.

The countless points of light that make up the network converge rapidly.

Various colors of light, including silver-blue, emerald green, dark blue, cyan-white, gold, and purplish-black, intermingled and eventually transformed into a pure silver-white pillar of light.

Within the pillar of light, countless tiny runes darted and spun like swimming fish.

A moment later, they coalesced into a mark the size of a fingernail, pure white, and covered with intricate runes.

The moment the imprint was formed, it seemed to come alive and slowly drifted toward the core of Gaode's consciousness.

With a gentle touch, it blends in without any hindrance, as if it were meant to be there.

At the same time, within Gaode's magical starry sea, all the spell models emitted a faint silver-white halo.

The halo alternated between light and dark like breathing, its rhythm perfectly synchronized with the resonance imprint of the core consciousness of Gaode.

Under the influence of the aura, spells of different elements and schools of thought began to resonate with subtle energies.

Like an invisible net, it establishes a close and hidden connection between all the spell models.

As the white light completely subsided and the mark solidified in the core of his consciousness, Gao De slowly opened his eyes.

A pure silver-white light flashed in his eyes, then disappeared, replaced by countless tiny runes rapidly circulating deep within his pupils.

“【Resonance of All Laws】.” Gao De murmured to himself, his tone filled with shock and satisfaction.

According to the classification of special skills by mainland Buddhist masters, "Resonance of All Dharmas" is clearly one of the rarest special skills.

However, it also possesses super magic, support, and combat characteristics.

It could even be said that this is the first specialty that Gaode has awakened to date that can directly and significantly enhance combat effectiveness.

After processing the information that automatically surfaced in his mind, Gaode gained a clear understanding of the specific manifestations of "Resonance of All Laws," which can be mainly divided into two parts:
The first is the core ability of resonance casting.

This ability allows God to merge two or more spells (the maximum number that can be merged increases as the mage's level, mental strength, and spell mastery increase) into a single, newly formed resonance spell at the moment of casting.

Resonance spells are not simply a stacking of spells, but rather a more powerful spell with entirely new effects, born from the core characteristics of fusion spells.

The power, range, and duration of a resonance spell are not fixed values, but depend on two key factors:
First, it is the sum of the ring levels of the fusion spells.

The fusion effect is best when spells of the same ring are fused, and spells of lower rings can be used as auxiliary supplements. If the ring level difference is too large, fusion is not possible.

Second, the conceptual fit of the spell.

The simplest examples are elements that share a common origin, such as ice and water, and concepts that are similar, such as restraint and control.
The higher the compatibility, the stronger the resonance effect, and the more stable the fusion process.

Of course, even with the [Resonance of All Laws], resonant spellcasting is not arbitrary; it has extremely stringent prerequisites:
First, Gaode must achieve perfect control over every spell involved in the fusion.

This is the foundation of integration.

If one lacks sufficient control over a particular spell, forcibly fusing them will only lead to conflicting spell energies, spontaneous collapse, or even backlash.

Secondly, the fused spells must have a potential connection in terms of elements, concepts, or schools of thought.

For example, fire and ice seem to be opposites, but they are related in terms of the concept of "energy impact," and perhaps they can be integrated.

Unrelated spells, no matter how well mastered, cannot trigger resonance.

Finally, and most importantly: the spells involved in the fusion must be cast simultaneously.

This means that a mage must master at least two independent cultivation methods and possess two or more different magic crystals in their mana pool;
The number of main magic channels must be sufficient (at least two or more, and the channel strength must be able to support the simultaneous transmission of magic of different attributes).
It requires extremely strong mental power to simultaneously mobilize the magic power in different magic crystals, transmit it through different main magic power channels, and synchronously activate multiple spell models in the spell star sea to ensure that the casting rhythm is completely consistent.

Even the slightest error can lead to fusion failure.

Undoubtedly, under such demanding conditions, only an extraordinary individual like Gao De, who has broken through mental limits, simultaneously cultivated two rare cultivation methods, and constructed the "Leo Monk's Magical Network," could achieve this.

Even so, successfully completing a resonance spell is by no means easy and requires a lot of attempts and precise control.

The second is the resonance imprint.

Even if all the prerequisites are met, the process of fusing two or more spells is still like dancing on the tip of a needle, an extremely precise "cutting-edge craft." It requires the mage to concentrate all their mental energy and spend several breaths performing subtle manipulations, adjusting the mana ratio, balancing elemental conflicts, and connecting the spell models. The slightest mistake will lead to failure.

But on the ever-changing battlefield, your opponent will never give you a few breaths to slowly fuse spells.

Resonance imprints are the key to breaking this constraint.

Gaode can imprint a resonant mark into a spell combination that he has mastered (which must be a combination that has been successfully fused and has a stable effect) in advance when he is not in combat.

Each resonance mark corresponds to a fixed set of resonance casting combinations.

The mark stores the mana ratio, elemental balance logic, and spell model connection path required for fusion.

It's equivalent to solidifying a successful resonance spell.

In battle, Gao De only needs to mobilize his mental energy to trigger the corresponding resonance mark.

This allows you to skip the tedious fusion process and complete spell fusion and casting instantly, greatly enhancing the practical value of resonance casting.

However, there is an upper limit to the number of resonance marks.

Currently, limited by his mage level, he can only have a maximum of five (3+2) at the same time.

Furthermore, each time a mark is triggered, a certain amount of mana is required to recharge the mark, so it cannot be used indefinitely.

It is somewhat similar to the concept of a spell slot.

Having sorted out all the details of the "Resonance of All Laws," Gaode slowly clenched his fist.

The existence of this specialty allows his most prominent advantage over other mages—the number of spells he can finally truly demonstrate.

It should be noted that in the past, even though he mastered far more spells than other mages of the same rank, he could only cast them one by one in actual combat. His advantage was "merely" in terms of comprehensiveness and versatility, and the quality of his spells did not change as a result.

This is actually quite unreasonable.

Because whether it's knowledge or skills, the more you master, the more additional benefits you'll receive for any particular area of ​​knowledge or skill.

Just like how being good at math helps with other subjects like physics and chemistry.

Now, in terms of magic, Gaode can finally achieve an effect where 1+1>2.

He calmed the turmoil in his heart, focused his mind, and used his [Precise Perception] ability to "scan" his current state:
Mage Level: Late Second Ring [Azure Wood Longevity Scripture] / Early Third Ring [True Ice Secret Transmission]

Lifespan: 17/880
Mental Power: 355
Mana: True Ice Star Core Magic Crystal (Three Mana Star Orbits: Spell Condensation, Mana Storage, Elemental Resonance) / Wood Magic Crystal (180 runes)

Water Elemental: Immune to Water Elemental spell damage (unenhanced spellcasting), increases Water Elemental spell resistance by 70% for first-circle spells, 50% for second-circle spells, and 20% for third-circle spells.

ability:

【The Longevity Scripture of Green Wood】--The Art of Nature (First Ring) / The Language of Nature (Second Ring)
【Secret Recipe of Perfect Ice】--Ice Extraction, Ice Condensation (Ring 1) / Ice Seed (Ring 2) / Water-to-Ice (Ring 3)

Powerful, more powerful than ever.

Leaving aside the various spells and additional ability bonuses gained from advancing to the third ring, the increase in "base stats" and the existence of ring-up casting alone have already given Gao De a dimensional boost in combat power.

The existence of "mana storage" in the Mana Orbit allows Gaode's mana to be stored in a compressed state, with a mana density twice that of an ordinary second-circle mage in the same volume.

This means that Gao De can now cast thirty standard-power third-circle spells or more than two hundred second-circle spells in one go.

The essence of the Three Rings Master's cultivation is the construction and perfection of the magical star orbit.

A mage in the early stages of the third ring corresponds to the three basic mana orbits: spell gathering, mana storage, and elemental resonance.

When a mage, based on this foundation, absorbs magic power and elemental particles to construct an additional mana storage star track, an elemental star track, and a spell acceleration star track, bringing the total number of star tracks to six, they advance to the mid-stage of the third ring.

At that time, the mage's mana reserves will double, allowing them to cast sixty third-circle spells with reduced casting time, and they will receive special elemental bonuses when casting spells.

In the later stages of the third ring, the number of mana orbits increased to nine.

The three newly added star trails are still mana storage, elemental star trails, and spell star trails.

At that time, the mage's mana reserves will reach their peak, allowing them to cast ninety third-circle spells, essentially achieving instant casting of second-circle spells, while also granting spells more elemental bonuses.

When the nine star trail patterns connect to form a complete pattern, creating a star trail network, the basic conditions for advancement to the fourth ring are met.

The successful advancement of "The Secret of Zhenbing" means that Gaode has become a formal third-ring mage.

But in reality, his combat power enhancement is not yet over.

Because the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture" is in the second stage of perfection, it is possible to attempt to advance at any time.

Although Gao De was absolutely certain of his advancement in the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture," he still gave it sufficient respect.

Given that there is still ample time, we do not plan to proceed with a second ring upgrade.

He planned to stabilize himself for a few days, adjust his condition, and take the opportunity to study the [Resonance of All Laws] before proceeding with the ascension of the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture".

Gao De got up, stretched, and his bones made a series of crisp "click" sounds.

The excitement from the ring upgrade had not yet subsided. After thinking for a moment, he went to the next room.

Here, there is a key that is exclusively his.

The golden orb shimmered.

Gao De lightly touched the ball of light, instantly logged into the Ethernet via the key, entered the knowledge base, and retrieved the stored three-ring spell recipes from the Duchy of Xidian.
