The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 177 Breakthrough, Ultimate Talent!
Inside the wizard's castle.

While David was forming the Royal Knights, he did not give up his dual cultivation.

He would also travel to the wizarding world every half a month to collect resources.

Now with Sten, the manager of the Lone Whale Market, as his servant, he is very efficient in collecting resources.

Even as an eighth-level wizard, his strength has been greatly improved with the help of these resources.

The witches in the wizard castle also increased their strength very quickly.

Huo Wu and Shui Lian have both increased their strength to the fifth level.

In the kitchen.

David put the two sisters' feet down.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He said to the two little maids.

Huo Wu and Shui Lian both shook their heads, "This is what we should do."

Then, the two maids began to tidy up the kitchen.

Come to think of it, His Excellency the Duke always likes to be in places like this, it makes me blush just thinking about it.

After working overtime for a period of time, David finally improved his fire and water elemental talents to perfection.

Afterwards, he also successfully condensed the soul of the fire element and the soul of the water element.

From then on, his four elements of Feng, Shui, Earth and Fire have all condensed into elemental souls, which can be used to fully activate the power of the elemental formation.

The four elemental souls flow slowly in his body. They each represent the basic force of nature, yet they coexist harmoniously under his will.

Afterwards, he began to try to fuse the four elemental souls.

Deep in his consciousness, the four elemental souls began to slowly approach each other. They began to entangle and penetrate each other in a wonderful rhythm.

During the fusion process, the elements continue to repel each other.

His will was constantly tempered in the process and became stronger and stronger.

Finally, after a violent energy fluctuation, the four elemental souls completely merged together.

As time went on, the boundaries between the four elemental souls began to blur, and they gradually merged into a ball of light.

A new soul body is born in his body, which belongs neither to fire, water, wind or earth, but is the sublimation of the four elements, the etheric soul.

The condensation of the ether soul marked that his control over the elements between heaven and earth had reached a new level.

Not only can he mobilize the power of elemental arrays, but he can also use the ether soul to control more complex and powerful spells.

Of course, the most important thing is to train your own mental strength.

He had been using the elemental meditation method, and after adding the power of the energy-incarnated soul, he developed the elemental compression meditation method.

Now, he can use the fusion of the four elements to transform elemental power into etheric power.

He began to experiment with combining elemental compression meditation with the power of ether to create a more powerful form of practice.

Etheric Meditation.

This meditation method is not only about compressing elemental power, but also about deeply exploring and strengthening mental strength.

In the practice of etheric meditation, he found that his mental powers seemed to be injected with new vitality, and they became stronger.

Every time he meditated, he felt that his consciousness was constantly expanding, as if he could reach farther into space and sense deeper energy fluctuations.

He began to be able to perceive the flow of energy in his surroundings more clearly, and was even able to capture some subtle changes in energy, which he was unable to do when practicing elemental meditation.

The practice of ether meditation allowed him to reach a new level of control over his mental power.

He began experimenting with combining Ether Meditation with his other skills to create more powerful moves and spells.

In addition, relying on the power of ether, he finally completely controlled the elemental barrier and began to control the elemental wizard tower.

The Elemental Wizard Tower itself is a very powerful magical weapon.

It’s just that the level of the Elemental Wizard Tower was too high, and he hadn’t been able to refine it before.

And now, with the breakthrough in strength and the control over the power of ether, he finally succeeded in taking control of the Elemental Wizard Tower.

The top floor space of the wizard tower, which he had been unable to enter before, was the core of the Elemental Wizard Tower.

Through the core of the Elemental Wizard Tower, he can activate many magic arrays of the Wizard Tower.

David stood on the top floor of the Elemental Wizard Tower, feeling the rich elemental energy around him.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Ether meditation operated in his body, creating a wonderful resonance with the surrounding environment.

He could clearly feel every corner inside the wizard tower, the operation of every magic circle, and even the secrets hidden deep inside.

He reached out and gently touched the ancient runes on the wall. When the runes touched his fingers, they seemed to come alive and emitted a faint light.

David knew that this was proof of his connection with the Elemental Wizard Tower.

He began trying to activate the magic array of the wizard tower. One after another, the magic array was activated under his control, and the energy flow inside the wizard tower became more orderly.

He could even sense the spirit of the weapon sleeping at the bottom of the wizard tower. Although he could not communicate with it yet, he could feel its power.

As his understanding of the Elemental Wizard Tower deepens, he is confident that one day he will be able to awaken this powerful spirit and unlock the deeper secrets of the Wizard Tower.

This also allowed him to conclude that the Elemental Wizard Tower must be more than just a first-level magical weapon.

After successfully taking control of the Elemental Wizard Tower, the elemental barrier became more stable and could block stronger force impacts.

Although the demonic tide blocked by the elemental barrier continued to attack, it was all firmly resisted.

Of course, this does not mean that the elemental barrier can always resist the invasion of the demonic tide, and its strength must continue to be improved.

In this way, another period of time passed.

In addition to training your own mental strength.

David also began to try to help the witches improve their strength to the sixth level to better assist in dual cultivation.

Inside the room, David and Amy were practicing.

After observing for a period of time, he found that Amy's ice talent was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Amy was the first witch to follow him.

After such a long period of practice, a breakthrough was within his expectations.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

"Well, it's almost there, wait a little longer."

David spoke softly, helping Amy continue to improve the strength of her ice talent.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet and tense.

David focused on guiding Amy's practice.

Amy closed her eyes tightly and devoted herself to the practice.

A faint ice-blue light began to emerge around her body, a sign that the power of the ice element was flowing through her body.

As time passed, the light became brighter and brighter, the temperature in the room dropped, and tiny ice crystals began to condense in the air, as if the entire space was dominated by the ice element.

David could feel that the power of ice element in Amy's body was constantly gathering, and her talent was about to have a breakthrough.

He encouraged Amy softly, and at the same time adjusted his mental strength to ensure that he could provide the most appropriate support at the critical moment of her breakthrough.

Finally, after a deep breath.

Amy's body shook violently, and a powerful ice elemental force burst out from her body, and ice crystals flew like an ice storm.

Amy's body was surrounded by this power. Her long hair and robe fluttered in the invisible wind. She looked as holy and powerful as an ice and snow goddess.

After a few minutes, the storm gradually subsided and the temperature in the room slowly rose.

Amy slowly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with an icy blue light.

With the breakthrough of her talent, her ice element talent successfully broke through to the extraordinary level and condensed the heart of the ice element.

at the same time.

Her spiritual power, which was at the peak of the fifth level, also successfully broke through to the sixth level!
"I did it, Your Excellency."

Amy's voice was filled with joy and a grateful smile appeared on her face.

David smiled and nodded, then he picked up Amy again, intending to test the results of his practice again.

After a while, silence returned again, with only low voices being heard.

[You have completed your training, Ice Elemental Talent +6426]

As Amy's ice elemental talent broke through to the extraordinary level and her own strength increased to the sixth level, the effect of her cultivation was greatly improved.

David had a happy expression on his face. It seemed that he would have to practice with Amy for some time.

In this way, another period of time passed.

After unremitting efforts, David's ice element talent successfully completed a breakthrough in his ice element talent.

With the breakthrough of his ice elemental talent, an unprecedented cold current suddenly surged in his spiritual world.

As the cold current surged, David's liquid mental power began to solidify gradually.

He could feel his liquid mental power being purified and eventually transformed into a crystal clear crystal.

This crystal was suspended in his spiritual world, emitting a faint blue light.

[Ice Element Talent: Limit, Obtain Talent Ability: Ice Element Mark]

David's attention at this moment was completely attracted by this condensed ice element crystal.

The ice element crystal contains the imprint of his soul, thus transforming into the imprint of the ice element.

He could feel that this ice element barrier was the result of a perfect fusion of his mental strength and the power of the ice element.

As the crystals formed, David could clearly feel his connection with the ice element becoming closer.

Moreover, he could feel a trace of ice element energy being born from the ice element crystals.

This means that a trace of the origin of the ice element is already contained in the ice element crystal, which is why it is possible for ice element energy to be born from it.

This crystal became the core in his spiritual world. It not only enhanced his spiritual power, but also allowed his understanding of the ice element to reach a whole new level.

[Mark of the Ice Element: One Ring (1/1 million)] After the ice element talent reached its limit, it was transformed into a new talent.

One ring should correspond to one ring wizard.

He had a feeling that if he used all his strength to activate the ice element mark, his strength would be infinitely close to that of a first-level wizard.

To some extent, the mark of the ice element is very similar to the innate witchcraft that a first-ring wizard condenses by condensing a spell model.

If a formal wizard wants to be promoted to a first-ring wizard, in addition to meeting the mental strength requirements, he also needs to use his mental strength to condense a first-ring innate witchcraft.

If a first-ring wizard wants to be promoted to a second-ring wizard, he needs to continue to engrave the second-ring witchcraft based on his original innate witchcraft.

In this way, a second-ring wizard has two innate witchcrafts, a third-ring wizard has three, and if it is a ninth-ring legendary wizard, they have nine innate witchcrafts.

If the mark of the ice element can really be used as a talent for witchcraft, David's combat power will definitely be far beyond that of ordinary people of the same level!

The most terrifying thing is that the talents in his body will eventually be transformed into talent marks, from this we can see how terrifying his strength will be by then!
In order to test the effect of his new talent, he found Amy who was reading a book and performed a dual cultivation with her.

[You completed a training, Ice Element Mark +6897]

As his training was completed, he could feel a surge of energy blending into the ice element mark.

Sure enough, practicing with Amy can also increase the power of the ice element mark!
However, in order to upgrade the ice element mark to the second ring, it actually required 100 million experience points, which made him feel a little dumbfounded.

It seems that Amy's sixth-level wizard strength is not enough, and she must be further upgraded to the seventh level, or even higher.

Of course, the improvement of his strength due to the mark of ice element is obvious.

Moreover, the ice element talent has now turned into a tangible ice element mark. Every time the ice element mark is practiced, it will become a little stronger.

This is an immediate improvement in combat power, which gives David more motivation to practice.

"Next, I still have to continue to strengthen my talents!" David took a deep breath.

In order to improve his training efficiency, he must help the witch achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Three days later.

David went to the Kingdom of Crystalsong.

During this period, the Kingdom of Crystal Song has been at the forefront of the fight against the demonic tide.

Especially recently, more undead appeared in the Far North, turning the Far North into a world of the dead.

David plans to take Lena into the Far North.

The Far North not only possesses a large amount of ice resources, but those undead themselves are undead resources.

As a necromancer, Lena has been collecting undead resources to improve her strength during this period.

Now, his strength has been upgraded to the eighth level, and he can even exert the combat power of the ninth level. He can completely enter the Far North to explore.

This time, he planned to go to the barbarian's original savage city, which was said to be occupied by a powerful lich.

In addition, he also wanted to see the legendary entrance to the Ice Hell and whether there was a passage connecting to the Ice Hell at the end of the Far North.

Lena was very happy about David's arrival.

During this period, although Lena would often return through the teleportation array, she did not spend much time with David.

After David came to the Crystal Song Kingdom, he naturally wanted to spend more time with Lena.

The two of them practiced that night, and the experience of the Snow Demon Soul continued to increase.

A few days later.

David took Lena and secretly left the Crystal Song Kingdom and entered the Far North.

The Far North is now a dangerous place, not only because it is a gathering place for the undead, but also because of the harsh weather and terrain.

Now that we have entered the Far North, we have to face the extremely cold climate and the undead creatures that appear from time to time.

Of course, all this is not a problem for David.

Relying on the mark of the ice element, he can freely command the power of ice, like the king of this ice world.

Even the snow demon, who could use the power of ice, could not seize control of the power of ice from him.

Soon, they arrived at the core area of ​​the Far North.

The undead creatures here are more powerful, they are no longer ordinary skeletons and zombies, but more advanced undead, such as ghosts, liches and even death knights.

David also discovered a hidden ice cave with the help of his extraordinary perception.

They entered the ice cave and found a seventh-level snow demon inside, which was filled with terrifying undead energy.

David also sensed some different aura from him, which according to legend might be the power from the Ice Hell.

After a battle, he easily killed the seventh-level snow demon.

Afterwards, they found a crystal emitting blue light from the snow monster's body, which was the core of the snow monster.

The core of the snow demon not only contains powerful undead energy, but also carries the breath of ice hell. The purity and strength of this energy are extremely rare.

“This kind of thing actually appeared.”

"This is similar to the crystallization of gaseous spiritual power."

David showed a look of surprise on his face. The Snow Demon Core was really suitable for Lena to make a breakthrough.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke." Lena carefully put away the snow demon core.

She had a feeling that simply by absorbing the energy contained in the snow demon's core, she would be able to break through to the sixth level.

They had just reached the far north, and she became more and more interested in the subsequent exploration.

Next, David continued to clear out the undead along the way.

Lena followed behind and relied on the snow demon soul to continuously absorb the power of these undead souls, and her mental strength continued to improve.

After several days of arduous travel, the two finally stood in front of the ruins of the city known as the Savage City.

The city is now occupied by the undead and is dead silent.

David relied on his keen intuition to carefully observe the movements in the city.

The air was filled with the smell of death, and the whispers of the undead echoed in my ears.

They cleared the snow monsters along the way, passed through the dilapidated buildings, and finally came to the central square of the city.

There, they found a huge altar carved with ancient runes and emitting a faint blue light.

In the center of the altar, a huge crystal is suspended.

This core is much larger than the one Reina had obtained before, and the light it emits is even more dazzling.

Not only does it contain the energy of the dead, it also carries the breath of hell. The purity and intensity of this energy are extremely rare.

Both David and Lena understood that this core would be of great help to Lena's breakthrough.

David decided to take action. He approached the altar cautiously, ready to seize the core of the Hell Snow Demon.

But at the moment he stretched out his hand, the altar suddenly shook, and a blue beam of light shot up into the sky, covering the entire square in a cold light.

As the column of light rose, a huge figure gradually took shape on the altar.

This is a hell snow demon. It is larger than all the snow demons encountered before. There is a cold light flashing in its eyes, and every hair of its is as sharp as ice crystals.

The appearance of the Hell Snow Demon made David and Lena feel unprecedented pressure.

The power of this snow monster far exceeded their expectations. David could tell that the strength of the Hell Snow Monster had reached the eighth level.

"Get away from here, intruder." The Hell Snow Demon suddenly roared.

David and Rayna exchanged a look.

David then summoned the four elemental souls of wind, water, earth and fire to guard Lena, and he directly faced the hell snow monster.

woohoo-

The Hell Snow Demon let out a deafening roar, and countless ice cones condensed around its body, attacking David like a blizzard.

"Ice Element Mark!"

David's eyes suddenly fixed.

The next moment, the blizzard suddenly stopped and was actually controlled by David, sweeping towards the Hell Snow Demon in the opposite direction.

This is the absolute control of the ice element mark over the power of ice.

Then, he activated the bloodline power of the Frost Giant Wolf, and his figure suddenly turned into a Frost Werewolf.

David's figure became more agile under the frost, and every movement he made brought up a gust of cold wind.

After he transformed into a frost werewolf, his strength and speed were greatly enhanced. His claws and fangs, with the blessing of the ice element's mark, flashed with deadly cold light.

Although the Hell Snow Demon was powerful, it began to seem a little overwhelmed under David's absolute suppression.

The combination of David's giant frost wolf bloodline's original power and the mark of the ice element allowed him to reach a new level in the use of ice power.

Not only can he control the ice elements in the surrounding environment, he can also directly affect the ice energy in the Hell Snow Demon's body, making its attacks slow and its defense fragile.

Under David's control, the ice cone attacks of the Hell Snow Demon changed direction and attacked their master.

David's sharp claws tore through the Hell Snow Demon's defense, and every attack accurately hit the Hell Snow Demon's vital parts.

The roar of the Hell Snow Demon began to be mixed with pain, its movements became slower and slower, and cracks began to appear in the ice crystals on its body.

David did not give the Hell Snow Demon any chance to breathe. His offensive was continuous like a blizzard. He took advantage of the Frost Werewolf's speed and launched fast and precise attacks.

The Hell Snow Demon's body shook violently, and its strength was obviously weakened a lot.

David seized this opportunity, gathered all his strength, and increased the power of the ice element mark to the extreme. His claws were covered with a thick layer of frost, like two ice swords.

He leaped forward like an ice-blue meteor, heading straight for the core of the Hell Snow Demon.

With a loud bang, the core of the Hell Snow Demon was hit by David's sharp claws, and the frost quickly spread, freezing the entire core.

The Hell Snow Demon let out a shrill howl, and all the strength in his body began to dissipate.

But just as the figure of the Hell Snow Demon was about to completely disappear, a force that seemed to come from the depths of hell suddenly surged out on the altar.

The air was filled with a biting cold, as if the entire space was frozen by this force.

As this power surged out, the temperature around the altar dropped sharply, forming a field made of frost.

Ice crystals condensed in the air, flashing a faint blue light, spreading on the ground, covering every inch of land, and sealing all breath of life in this frozen world.
