Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 74 Fatal Attraction

"The basic Silence spell forces the opponent to interrupt their spellcasting by expelling the free magic energy around the target, and the opponent loses the ability to cast spells for a period of time afterward."

Its effect is not insurmountable; the caster can continue casting by charging magic stones or moving to a different location. The main purpose of Silence is to interrupt casting, gain the initiative, and control the rhythm of the battle…

"It's worth mentioning that although the highest difficulty level of the Silence spell is only beginner, its range and effect can be continuously expanded as the caster's strength increases. It is a universal type of spell, like Mage's Hand and Mental Shield, and it performs well at all stages, making it widely applicable."

After explaining the technique by referring to the book, Youmu looked up at the classroom and asked, "Who here would like to come up and experience the effects of the Silence Spell?"

The scene was silent; no one responded.

Who in their right mind would do something so shameful and pointless?

"Alright! I'll cast the spell on everyone now, you can experience it for yourselves."

Youmu reached under her cloak and took out her dark green wand, which was made of a branch of the Tree of Life, a precious tree known as the king of all trees. It greatly enhances the ability to control plants, as well as the effectiveness of life and healing spells.

The wand automatically gathers the life force within a certain range, forming a halo-like healing effect.

Carrying it with you can slow down aging and increase lifespan to some extent.

More importantly, it is extremely compatible with the forest bloodline represented by the Enchantress, with both sides complementing and enhancing each other.

A ball of psychic energy, invisible to ordinary people, flew out from the tip of the wand and exploded in the air above the classroom.

Instantly, everyone present felt short of breath.

Air is an important medium for sound transmission, and the main principle of the art of silence is to create a region with thin air, close to a vacuum.

Fortunately, only a few seconds later, outside air rushed in again. The young wizards' breathing returned to normal.

"The silence technique is quite powerful!" Tai'an commented.

He thought of a way to break the level 0 silence spell: all he had to do was cover his whole body with his mental energy during battle to prevent the air around him from escaping, and he would not be affected.

Youmu glanced at the boy by the window with a strange look. Not only was he cute, but he was also quite intelligent. During the last general knowledge class, she had already considered taking him on as an apprentice.

"A rare and adorable little friend." The enchanting witch murmured, her pale cherry-colored lips slightly parted.

In fact, Youmu did not know that the real reason she was attracted to Taian, who had always had little desire, was because of the life force within Taian that was even more concentrated than that of the Tree of Life.

For forest fairies, it is an irresistible and fatal attraction.

The murmurs in the classroom gradually subsided.

Youmu pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze and thoughts, and continued lecturing.

"The principle of the basic Silence spell is similar to that of the level 0 trick, except that in addition to excluding air, it also requires expelling magic elements. Let me demonstrate it for you again."

The Tree of Life wand pointed directly at the classroom, and a ball of spiritual energy flew out from the tip of the wand again, then exploded.

Another wave of suffocation washed over me.

Having prepared in advance, Tai'an enveloped himself in a layer of mental energy shield, so his breathing was not affected.

However, the surrounding free magic energy almost instantly lost its sensation, but began to gradually recover after a few seconds.

Tai'an pondered ways to solve the problem.

First, the mental shield can be used normally, and the Mage's Hand can mostly be used as well, which means that offensive and defensive methods based on pure mental energy are not affected.

Secondly, the magical energy contained within objects can still be utilized! For example, the ground beneath our feet, the trees around us, the energy-accumulating magic stones, and even the object itself!

The Silence spell only banishes magical elements that are adrift in space; it cannot interfere with magical elements that exist within matter.

"Very good, I'm sure everyone has already grasped this point. In actual combat, please be careful of the interference of the Silence spell." Youmu gently turned the pages of the book.

"Many of the negative energy debuffs involve eroding the opponent with magic energy."

For example, earth-attribute magic can be used to petrify an enemy's body, plant-attribute magic can be used to petrify an enemy's body, water-attribute magic can be used to cause an enemy's skin to swell, or ice-attribute magic can be used to greatly reduce an enemy's mobility...

Such effects vary from person to person. Each person's physical attributes have a certain bias. Wood-based erosion techniques tend to be ineffective against opponents with a wood-based constitution, and may even become nourishment for them!

Furthermore, according to the principle of elemental interaction, combatants with a wood-elemental constitution will be immune to earth-elemental attacks…

Magic element itself is a chaotic concept, a comprehensive term for the personification of various elements. Due to its excessive diversity, it cannot be systematically converted and absorbed.

The human body can generally only adapt to a single attribute; only a very few exceptionally gifted individuals can adapt to multiple attributes…

Friday's last class was drawing to a close before we knew it.

Youmu finished explaining the plan ten minutes ahead of schedule and closed the book.

"Students, now is the time for you to ask questions and think freely."

"Teacher, aren't you going to lecture on the remaining books?" The bespectacled little wizard Schneider raised his hand.

"Wizards and mages each have their own roles and functions, and in principle, I won't talk about applications other than negative energy. Of course, if you can become my apprentice, you can gain knowledge outside of the classroom," Youmu said reservedly.

Tai'an flipped through the book without even looking up. The method of eroding with a single magic element was too low-level, and he couldn't possibly have any effect on a human immortal state.

He was looking for a more powerful way to reduce negative energy.

The answer is, yes!

The combination of magical energy and negative energy greatly increases the debuff power! And it is extremely difficult to achieve complete immunity.

Life Freeze: Greatly reduces the enemy's mobility and regeneration abilities.

Principle: Mixing negative energy with ice-type magic elements.

Shadowfire: A notorious form of black magic, known for its inextinguishability and ability to burn blood.

Principle: Fire-type magic element mixed with negative energy.

...

"Xiao An, please come to my office after class." Youmu used telepathy.

In the end, he couldn't resist and took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

The main concern is that other institutions might extend invitations first. For exceptionally talented students, it's not uncommon for first-come, first-served to secure a spot!

During class, Youmeng's gaze was very direct, like a female demon sizing up Tang Sanzang. Tai'an couldn't have been unaware of this, but confident in his skills and boldness, he readily agreed.

"Which floor is your office on, Professor?"

"My office is on the fifteenth floor. Come with me on the Sky Ladder."

The green-haired mature woman bit her lip hard, trying to suppress the pounding in her heart.

very good!

Since he didn't refuse, it means there's a good chance.

The two quietly completed their exchange.

Youmu couldn't wait to announce the end of get out of class five minutes early.

"Oh ho!" Silver Moon excitedly stood up from her seat, stretched her arms and yawned, her eyes crinkling into crescents with contentment: "Xiao An, hurry up and take me back."

"Youmu-sensei needs to see me." Tai'an put away his textbooks on the table, got up, and followed the crowd away.
