Chapter 110 Ruins of Zhou
"and many more!"

"Root of Nothingness: Swallowing Back (Tier 3)"

Swish!
The void swept across!

Completely devoured Lu Cang's magic—

The opponent unleashed it once again, and Lu Cang felt the magic was increasingly exquisite...

It can directly absorb the magic of others and turn it into magic power to nourish itself.

What powerful magic!

The drawback is also obvious: it requires constant control, and if interrupted midway, the magic is canceled.

It is still struggling, and can only struggle.

It directly devoured most of Lu Cang's magic through the Void Devouring, but this root magic was too easy for Lu Cang to break.

"and many more!"

"Both of us have grasped the essence of things, so why insist on determining a winner too early!"

"How about we call a truce here and discuss our experiences?"

Swish!
The light that was about to pass through the ruins suddenly stopped.

Snapped--

The white light flashed and dissipated in mid-air.

The other spells that were about to strike it were temporarily halted.

Let's explore the root causes together?

That's a good suggestion. For mages, fighting to the death is not as important as it is for warriors.

What's needed more is a search for the root cause.

It's absolutely right...

It is currently very difficult to find another Root Master to communicate with about Root.

Communicating with this person named Xu Zhou might offer more insights.

Of course... more importantly, I have no grudge against it, so a life-or-death situation would just mean one more win.

And the reason I didn't kill it with all my might so quickly was...

I also wanted to see what other tricks it had up its sleeve.

At this moment, it took the initiative to suggest communication... which gave Lu Cang a feeling that it suited him perfectly.

Lu Cang thought about it for a moment before agreeing, "Okay."

Seeing Lu Cang stop, Xu Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The relentless barrage of magic was suffocating it.

Three spells, trying to deal with hundreds of spells at the same time?
joke?

Lu Cang didn't mention anything about winning or losing, because if it didn't want to lose in the end, it could just kill it.

Xu Zhou landed and sat down.

They just sat on the ground like that.

Lu Cang thought for a moment and decided to remain standing.

Xu Zhou's magic can attack directly from inside the shield. This magic is peculiar, and I'm afraid it might sneak up on me if I sit down.

However, in addition to his own fifty-six layers of shields, he also has pendants, rings, and robes, all of which have the effect of saving his life.

I'm not too afraid of it attacking me.

"What race are you? Why can you move around so fast?"

Lu Cang immediately posed a question.

Xu Zhou's eyes twitched, but he still answered Lu Cang's question: "We don't have a racial name, we only have a unified name."

"Other species call us—Void Creatures."

It's not just magic that comes from the void...

Lu Cang couldn't help but think of what Izz had said, though Izz hadn't intended to say much at the time.

Little did I expect that I would now be in contact with the void.

"This ability to flicker in your present world is also our racial talent, no... rather than talent, it's more like our essence."

“We exist simultaneously in the present world and the void, but our coordinates in the void are different from yours.”

As it spoke, it used two fingers to walk on the ground in the shape of the Chinese character "人" (person).

"The ground I'm pointing at is your present world..."

"And the actual movement of my two fingers is the distance I travel in the void."

"I walk through space with two fingers, but only the tips of my fingers actually touch the ground... which is what you see as me."

Lu Cang had already understood. It was somewhat like the theory of projecting three-dimensional space into two dimensions in his previous life. His true body was in a higher-dimensional space, and what he could see was just a projection.

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Cang suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the void.

At the same time, they learned by analogy and realized why they were so resistant to killing.

It turns out that my attack didn't actually kill their main body, but rather poked at a "fingertip" or "sole" of their main body; in short, it was just a projection.

It did not hit them completely.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that this race is actually quite terrifying. Wouldn't it be a dimensional reduction attack to defeat ordinary races?
"And you? How did you manage to unleash so much magic at the same time?"

Since the other party had told him about the void, Lu Cang replied, "Talent."

This answer.

This made Xu Zhou's eyes twitch again.

But indeed, there's no other explanation besides talent.

Lu Cang asked, "What is that magic that makes crystal spikes grow inside the shield?"

Xu Zhou: "You want to learn?"

"Ah."

That's right, they're asking for an exorbitant amount.

“Teaching you is no problem, but you'll have to exchange it for your magic.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Cang replied, "You can't learn my magic."

This answer, however, made Xu Zhou's eyelids twitch again.

arrogant……

This guy is too arrogant.

Can't I learn it? Is there any magic that I, Xu Zhou, can't learn? Even if it's a third-tier magic, I can master it in the time it takes to eat a meal or drink a cup of tea.

In half a week, one can evolve to a level of mastery that requires no chanting.

There are still magics in this world that I can't learn!

Xu Zhou laughed in exasperation and said, "Here's what I have here: a magic book I just acquired as a reward for my 300-win streak in this arena."

"I originally planned to save it for tomorrow, but how about this... we can refer to it together."

"If you learn the magic recorded in this book before me, I will give it to you as a gift, and I will also teach you the magic that attacks from within the shield, which you wish to learn."

"But if I learn it first, I will take this book back immediately, and you must teach me that instantaneous flash magic."

It also set its sights on Lu Cang's magic, that "Instant White Flash".

It is indeed fast and powerful.

What's the reward for a 300-game winning streak?
The rewards for winning streaks are usually pretty good, so it seems this magic book is a bit more special than ordinary magic.

It turns out that different races, even those of the same class, have different rewards for consecutive wins.

How can we consult this document together?

Xu Zhou floated the book into the air: "With our senses, it's not difficult to see the words in the book. You turn a page, and I turn a page, and that's fair."

How do I know you didn't study it beforehand?

Xu Zhou clenched his fists involuntarily.

I, Master Genyuan, am a man of my word. Why would I lie to you about such a trivial matter?

“I swear by the Root… If I have lied to you, may I never see the Root.”

Lu Cang: "Does swearing an oath work?"

Xu Zhou: "..."

Damn it.

You're so stubborn!

“The determination to seek the root is very important. If I break my vow, it will shake my determination to seek the root…and I will inevitably be hindered on the path to finding the root.”

Oh, I got it.

It means that if you're shameless enough to persist, it doesn't matter...

Fine, I'll play a game with it.

Lu Cang said, "I have one more request. I'll turn the page first."

Even if it cheats, it still gains something; at worst, it can learn the spell.

Xu Zhou: "Since the book is in my hands, you should go first."

Xu Zhou unfolded the table of contents of this book.

Lu Cang glanced at the table of contents; the incantation was on page 197.

Is it really that complicated?

The magic is called "Void Creation".

table of Contents:

"What is being awakened?"

"Understanding the Essence of Emptiness"

How to connect magic with the void?

"Void, the Structure and Analysis of Life"

"References and Reflections"

"Root cause related"

"Spell"

"The promised item"

"Taboos that are not to be profaned"

This is the complete table of contents.

This table of contents really makes you want to take a look at every chapter...

But Lu Cang still turned to the page with the incantation.

"Emptiness and nothingness, birth and beginning, death and extinction."

"The object in the mirror, the reflection in the water, time has passed, and it is no longer seen."

"An illusion, a bubble, never truly appearing." [Void Summoning Magic: Void Call (Tier 3) (LV: 1)]

"I've got it."

Lu Cang raised his hand.

A crack appeared in space, and an eye opened within it—this was a summoning spell.

"Awakening: Eye of Nothingness (Tier 3) (Monarch)"

To grasp...to control?
What are you talking about?
Why can't I understand?
You mastered it after just one glance?

Then, a vertical pupil emerged from the crack, its enormous eyeball trailing a slender tail like a tadpole.

Seeing the eye floating in the sky, Xu Zhou was filled with inexplicable horror.

Because on the same page, in addition to the incantation, there is also an interpretation of this spell.

[When this method is first established, it can initially awaken life constructed from emptiness: the Eye of Nothingness]

The book also includes illustrations of this summoned creature.

It was exactly the same as the one summoned by Lu Cang.

This is exactly how it looks after learning magic.

No, you've already... mastered it?

So, you just read a sentence dryly, and that's it?
For a moment, Xu Zhou's body trembled slightly, and his inner pride and confidence gradually crumbled.

"Xu Zhou, you are the most talented genius in our clan."

"Xu Zhou, you actually learned this magic in just the time it takes to take a nap!"

"Xu Zhou, you were able to comprehend Root Magic in just six months... You might be the most powerful genius of this era."

"Xu Zhou, whether we can escape the void in the future may depend on you."

"Xu Zhou, you are the most insightful magician I have ever met..."

"Xu Zhou..."

Since changing jobs, he has been recognized as the most talented mage, growing up amidst adulation.

Everyone who knows him calls him a genius of the demonic path.

Other geniuses are as insignificant as dust in his presence.

Even magicians once hailed as geniuses would lower their heads and dare not meet their gazes when they saw him.

The mere path of magic, the fundamental laws... are not worth mentioning in my eyes.

He learned all magic without ever encountering any obstacles.

It only took half a year to comprehend the root magic.

The magic that others have spent years pondering.

For me, it might just be a cup of tea or an afternoon.

But the person before me.

What is it again...?
With just one glance, he...mastered it?
Xu Zhou looked at the magic book floating in the sky, but the contents recorded on the two pages on the left and right were simply not enough for him to deduce the mystery of this magic.

Rather, they don't even know what this magic is about.

Is the gap really that big?
"As agreed, you should teach me the other spell as well."

Lu Cang reminded him, and at the same time, the giant pupil in the sky dissipated.

Then, he pointed again.

boom--

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky!
"Void Summoning Magic - Awaken the Void (Tier 4) (LV: 301)"

Thousands of pupils, densely packed together, filled that enormous rift!

boom!
The rift burst open, and a void life form with countless eyeballs emerged!
"Eye of a Thousand Visions (Tier 4) (Destroy a Nation)"

Lu Cang nodded. It seemed that this spell could also be upgraded and surpassed.

Xu Zhou took a deep breath.

I have already sensed that the life in the sky is of the same origin as the magic I just witnessed.

A short time.

Not only did he learn magic, but he also evolved into... a fourth-order being?
No, it's not a simple fourth-tier spell; this fourth-tier magic is much more complex!
why?
How exactly is this achieved? There are strict boundaries between ranks; a level 3 mage cannot master level 4 magic. This is an ironclad rule, a fundamental principle.

Why be overturned by the person in front of you!
"how?"

"Are you planning to back out?" Lu Cang asked again.

Only after being asked again did Xu Zhou recover from the shock that Lu Cang had brought him.

Its eyes held a myriad of thoughts.

"No, I will keep my promise."

"But... I still hope to learn your magic."

"Can I exchange it for something else?"

Lu Cang thought for a moment and looked at the magic book floating in mid-air.

"Lend me this book."

"However, I can't guarantee that I'll teach you. I can only guarantee that what I teach you isn't fake."

Xu Zhou glanced at "Magic: Void Creation"

"Well, yes."

Lu Cang reached out, and the wind carried the book to him.

The instant I received the magic book.

Lu Cang suddenly remembered.

Oh right... you can't just randomly learn other people's magic.

It would be troublesome if I learned something I shouldn't have.

I only remembered this after I finished learning it. Sigh, I wasn't careful enough.

I can't be so reckless next time.

Xu Zhou then produced another magic book in his hand and flew it out, but Lu Cang intercepted it halfway through.

Throughout their conversation, Lu Cang remained vigilant, maintaining his shield at all times.

After receiving the book "Magic: Void Assassin".

Lu Cang first tossed out several scrolls, and layers of light shone on the books.

He then took out a bottle of some unknown liquid and dripped a drop onto the book cover.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Open it and look it up.

After glancing at the incantation, he mastered the spell "Virtual Strike".

"Void magic... it's truly exquisite."

Chanting, mastering, elevating, sacrificing.

The entire process of learning magic.

"Mastered: Inner Spike Void Crystal (Tier 4) (LV: 301)"

Level 301 magic, instantly mastered.

Lu Cang glanced through the book again, found nothing unusual or hidden, and returned it.

My understanding of this magic is now much deeper than what's written in the books.

"The magic you want to learn is called Instant White Flash."

"But the prototype of this magic is the Focused Light Strike."

Focused beam?
That second-tier light magic?
Xu Zhou had seen this magic before, but it was really ordinary, and it was hard to connect it with Lu Cang's instantaneous flash of light.

"This is a focused light strike." Lu Cang pointed with one hand, and light condensed at his fingertips, blasting towards the ground in the distance.

However, the process is much slower than a flash of light, and the distance is also very short.

"The magic power is greatly compressed before the Focused Strike is released, and then released in an explosive manner... This is Beam Flash."

Whoosh!
A thin, white light streaked across the sky, its speed significantly faster than before.

"Beam Flash: First, determine the path of the light, then use magic as a conductor... directly guide the light along the entire path. This is Instant Beam Flash."

call out--

This time, Xu Zhou clearly saw a wisp of magic rapidly passing along a straight line. In the instant this magic passed, all elements along the path instantly transformed into light elements, which then condensed into the magic "Instantaneous Beam Flash".

An astonishingly ingenious spellcasting strategy!

However, the actual operation was definitely not as simple as he described.

"Based on this... well, I don't know how to explain it, by circulating magic power in a specific way, you will have a stronger explosive force, and pump it out of your body faster in an explosive mode, which is called Instant Flash."

The magical power within Lu Cang's body split into threads, flowing simultaneously through thousands of different paths, converging one after another...

Whoosh!
A flash of light burst forth with incredible speed!
It arrived in the blink of an eye!

"Based on this, the magic power is further purified by elements to increase the purity of the light element, and a more intense light-based power is unleashed, which is the Instant White Flash."

"This involves concepts beyond magic, which you probably don't understand."

What Lu Cang didn't say was that he himself didn't quite understand either.

Although Iz and Iz discussed the realization of transcendental magic, the final conclusion was that... transcendental magic can indeed be learned, but the difficulty of learning it is no less than comprehending the origin.

Lu Cang could also sense the path of the magic power's circulation.

The magic power is divided into thousands of strands, and its flow within the body is vastly different from that of ordinary third-tier magic.

Ordinary third-tier magic involves only the flow and transformation of a maximum of ten streams of magical energy.

This is also why Lu Cang knew how to release it, but couldn't express it verbally.

How do you say this?
Therefore, learning a transcendental magic is no less difficult than comprehending a new root magic, not to mention the subsequent second or third transcendence.

After watching Lu Cang's demonstration, Xu Zhou was aware of the gap.

He exclaimed, "You mean, this magic was entirely created by you?"

"That's it."

"How did you obtain these fourth-tier spells?"

"talent."

Xu Zhou sighed again in his heart...

In fact, after seeing Lu Cang change "Void Creation" into "Awakening the Void", he already had a guess in his mind.

A sense of emptiness arose in my heart.

Looking at Lu Cang is like looking at a great mountain.

I am like an ant...

Xu Zhou sighed, "I no longer have the thought of competing with you."

"Let's talk about the root of the problem."
