Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

When the twentieth magical Chinese character appeared, Bell's magical attribute, which had always been zero, also quietly changed, taking a step from zero to one.

At the same time, after the twentieth character was completed, Bell's physical endurance reached its limit.

But this is not the end.

"My physical strength and the number of magical characters I can bear are all being calculated. Next, I should construct these twenty characters into a complete sentence."

Using his mental power to manipulate the magical Chinese characters engraved in his blood, Bell arranged them neatly, allowing the magical Chinese characters with different meanings to connect and cooperate with each other to form a complete text.

The ancient Chinese poem was a magical combination of Chinese characters that Bell chose after much deliberation.

Poetry and songs have expressive advantages that far surpass other literary forms, and poetry can express the most complex images with the fewest words.

This not only helps in engraving magical text, but also aligns with the professional characteristics of bards, who use the simplest poetry to express complex imagery and resonate with the world.

Bell doesn't really understand poetry in this world, nor is he a poetry master on Earth.

But for Bell, the poetry knowledge he gained from nine years of compulsory education was enough.

"This is half of a magnificent chapter, consisting of twenty characters, from the Han Dynasty folk song 'Chang Ge Xing'."

Chapter 41 Bard Apprentice Level

"The sunflowers in the green garden await the morning dew to dry in the sun. The warm spring spreads its blessings, and all things shine with glory."

The opening twenty characters of "Chang Ge Xing" were arranged neatly in Bell's blood at the moment when this half of the poem was formed.

The magical runes within Bell's body resonated intensely, mobilizing the dormant magic around him and igniting it into a state of near-burning activity.

Twenty words, originally containing only a little bit of magic.

But once the poem is formed, this magic continuously absorbs external, wandering magic, rapidly strengthening itself.

Bell's spirit was influenced by "The Long Ballad," and his body also experienced an extraordinary sense of excitement due to the magic flowing in his blood.

"I cannot let my mental and physical powers get out of control; I must control these increasingly violent magical forces."

[Fire-loving Wisdom] constantly pulls Bell's scattered mental energy back on track, and lighting a campfire before constructing magical text greatly helps Bell.

He threw his head back and let out a long howl. His throat itched, and he uncontrollably began reciting the half of the ancient poem in the bamboo forest.

In an instant, the image of verdant sunflowers, glistening with dewdrops, growing serenely appeared in Bell's mind.

With each word he recited, the images in his mind constantly changed, from the dew rising from sunflowers at dawn to the evaporation of dew at sunrise.

One image after another appeared in Bell's mind, and in the phrase "all things shine with glory," they became incredibly grand, as if he were seeing the sun bestowing its blessings upon a world.

Bell's consciousness suddenly detached from itself, pulling all the magic within a five-meter radius to its side, forming a small vortex of magic.

A large amount of magic was continuously refined and flowed into Bell's blood, coursing through his limbs and bones.

"I'm going to be...filled...filled up..."

In a daze, Bell felt his body become incredibly swollen, unable to move an inch.

About a minute later, Bell regained his composure, and the discomfort in his body completely subsided.

“Inscribing magical text is a painful process, and constructing a complete poem is equally difficult.”

Recalling the scene of being caught in the surging vortex of magic, Bell still felt a lingering fear. The strange events caused after the poem was completed exceeded Bell's expectations.

Fortunately, he managed to control these magical anomalies with his mental power in the end.

Otherwise, in order to protect himself, Bell would most likely forcefully detonate a few magic characters to save his life.

"But in any case, my plan was successful. This crisis stemmed from my physical strength being insufficient. Compared to my mental strength, my physical body is currently too weak."

Shaking his head, Bell put aside his thoughts of reviewing and summarizing, and at this moment he wanted to focus more on the changes in his body.

First, there was an increase in magic power. Bell's magic power reserves directly reached 5 points. The boost from half of "The Long Ballad" was much greater than Bell had imagined.

It seems that the magic script is constructed

The more imagery a sentence contains, the more magic it possesses when it resonates with the listener.

"But when you look into it more closely, the factors that influence the resonance of words are not only the number of images, but also the rhythm of the sentence itself."

Having completed a magical textual resonance, Bell's understanding of the bard profession has been greatly deepened.

This added a career option to Bell's panel.

Congratulations! [Information Insights] has recognized Bell's professional level and is willing to acknowledge him as a newly emerging professional poet.

Having become an apprentice bard, Belle discovered that he could use the magic of poetic resonance more clearly.

If he were to sing "Oood" again now, Bell could maintain his Berserk buff and actively manipulate the snow leopard formed from the smoke.

"If I go a step further, I could even control snow leopards to perform fine motor skills, or plan their body size and population..."

Having crossed the threshold of becoming a professional, Bell was quite certain that he was not far from reaching the level of "smoke bomb in the stomach, seven parts transforming into a snow leopard, and the remaining three parts roaring into a cold gleam."

Magic and the bard profession complement each other.

To be more precise, Bell's method of acquiring magic is the same as that of the bard profession, and has nothing to do with traditional monsters.

This also kept Bell's template at the small animal template, without any template promotion to become a bamboo rat monster.

"However, my body reacted after the magic appeared in my body."

Looking at the '+2' mark next to his 12 health points, Bell knew that this was the magic in his blood, which had strengthened his body to some extent.

Just like traditional magical beasts such as fire hyenas, they make their bodies stronger by constantly being tempered by magic through eating various items containing magic or items that match their own attributes.

Bell chose to embrace wisdom, and although he didn't follow the same path as them, the enhancement of his magic was the same, only the degree of enhancement differed.

"Once my physical strength increases again, I can continue to inscribe words in my blood until the entire 'Chang Ge Xing' is inscribed."

Being able to see his future direction, Bell said that if he works hard, his life will get sweeter and sweeter.

When the purpose of working is not to make money for the boss, Bell is already thrilled.

"It's time to head back to camp. I've been out for too long, and it's almost dark."

Inscribing magical characters is a very energy-consuming task, but even inscribing a single magical character is not too difficult for Bell.

But it took him more than three hours to experiment back and forth and to record half of the long poem.

With the blessing of [Fire-loving Wisdom], Bell, bathed in flames, did not feel intense fatigue yet, but his body and mind were actually very tired.

Stepping out of the flames, Bell felt a strong sense of emptiness.

He needs a good rest and a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, Bell's experience accumulation has reached its peak. Now, returning to Edu's side, getting a safe sleep, and leveling up is the best choice.

"I still need to go to the Dream World to tend to my tulips~"

After muttering a comment, Bell crawled back into Edu's tent.

At this moment, the kid had just finished condensing the magic words, and it was clear that he was also very tired.

But Edu also benefited greatly; he had already glimpsed the edge of the bard's profession and had some money in his hands.

If all goes well, he will be able to go to the Bards' Guild for systematic training after this incident ends.

Chapter 42 Strange Movements in the Bamboo Forest

After a long day, Mr. Bell was fast asleep.

More accurately, he went back to the Dream Realm to continue tinkering with his transparent tulip.

In just over half a day, the transparent tulip had grown from a stiff little seedling into a seedling with three leaves, showing promising growth.

"Let's bask in the sunshine, gazing into the distance~~ Let's not be just passersby. Let the beautiful ladies feel breathless, leaning on your shoulder, I'll smile and hold an umbrella beside you~~"

In high spirits after successfully becoming a bard, Bell sang a cheerful little tune.

The tulip seedlings that have grown also sway their leaves gently in sync with Belle's song.

Meanwhile, the experience points stored in Bell's body also entered a state of rapid digestion after Bell fell asleep.

The floating island representing Bell's physical body is now expanding outward with a weak but determined force, while the notice board in front of the Spirit Hut is also spewing out new building materials.
