Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

One of the four wizards is at the late stage of the first tier; even a first-tier master wizard would not be able to withstand such an attack.

However, the violently fluctuating elemental energy around them indicated that the enemy had blocked their attack.

"Hehe, it's my turn."

Just as the four wizards were on high alert, Xia Jian's voice came from the smoke and dust, accompanied by the 'crack' sound of chains being broken.

Suddenly, a blood-red shadow burst out of the smoke and dust like a ghost.

"Be careful!"

The late-stage first-tier wizard shouted.

But it was too late. Xia Jian had already teleported to the front of a first-tier early-stage wizard.

As Xia Jian reached out, the shield formed by the defensive spell shattered like glass, and Xia Jian crushed the opponent's head with a single blow.

Seeing this, two of the remaining three wizards joined forces to summon a water prison to trap Xia Jian, while the late-stage first-tier wizard began to gather his magic power in preparation to cast a powerful spell.

Xia Jian chuckled upon seeing this. With the help of the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique, he was now incredibly powerful.

With a gentle swing of his wooden sword, a streak of crimson sword energy shot out, instantly cleaving open the cage in front of him and sending a mid-stage first-tier wizard flying.

Upon seeing this, another wizard's eyes widened in terror. He abandoned any attempt to restrain Xia Jian and his teammates from casting spells and turned to rush into the gray mist.

But how could his speed possibly match that of Natsumi, who was using forbidden techniques?

Using his level 13 basic movement technique, Xia Jian silently approached the fleeing wizard from behind.

Sensing that someone was chasing him, the fleeing wizard gritted his teeth, turned around, and prepared to cast a spell to retaliate.

"You're too slow."

The sounds of summer are like the chanting of death.

A flash of crimson sword light, and the fleeing wizard, who had only summoned two water arrows, was cleaved in two by the wooden sword.

The water arrow, lacking the power of spirit, turned into water droplets that fell to the ground.

Just then, a burning sensation came from behind Natsuma.

The dark red blood shadow on Xia Jian's body turned around and stretched out his blood-red arm to block the blue fireball behind him.

"Go to hell!"

The late-stage first-tier wizard roared, and the blue fireball exploded instantly.

Blood Shadow's arm was blasted into a bloody mist, and Xia Jian was also blasted away by this attack.

Immediately following behind was a blue beam of flame that shot towards the spot where Xia Jian had fallen.

Bang bang bang...

A series of explosions rang out in the gray fog, and terrifying blue flames swept across the land.

Under the full power of the late-stage Tier 1 wizard, a crater ten meters deep was quickly blasted into the ground.

Seeing the large crater engulfed in flames, the remaining wizard did not approach rashly, but instead took out a black bead from his spatial bag.

Just as the last remaining wizard was about to throw the black bead, a large hand patted his shoulder, startling him so much that he dropped the black bead to the ground.

The late-stage first-tier wizard had only one thought left in his mind: 'It's over.'

"you……"

"boom!"

Just as Xia Jian opened his mouth to scare someone, the black bead on the ground suddenly exploded, and the terrifying impact sent the two people who were almost within reach flying away.

"Cough cough..."

Xia Jian's Soul Absorption was interrupted by this impact. The side effects of the forbidden technique came on very quickly, and Xia Jian, who fell to the ground, couldn't help but cough up two mouthfuls of blood.

Compared to Xia Jian, the late-stage first-tier wizards are in an even worse situation.

He took the brunt of the explosion head-on, his body was mangled beyond recognition, and he was now barely clinging to life.

"What the hell is that?!"

After a moment, Xia Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but complain.

Life is full of surprises. My absolute advantage was ruined by an inconspicuous little black ball, and I can't even find anyone to reason with.

Seeing the late-stage first-tier wizard barely clinging to life, Xia Jian waved his hand, and a black arrow appeared out of thin air, piercing the wizard's head.

"Cough cough..."

Xia Jian took out a pill to heal his injuries from his spatial bag, then sat cross-legged and began to practice meditation to recover his injuries and lost mana.

The spiritual energy here is scarce, and one can only rely on medicine to recover from injuries and restore mana.

As the "Demonic Fear" meditation was activated, wisps of blood mist rose from the body of the deceased wizard, and then seemed to be drawn into Xia Jian's body.

The injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Xia Jian opened his eyes in shock.

Looking at the blood mist surrounding him, Xia Jian's expression became uncertain upon seeing this.

It wasn't that something was wrong with his body, but rather that his mental and physical strength was being rapidly replenished after using the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique!

It's important to know that the aftereffects of forbidden techniques are almost always irreversible.

If someone else were to use the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique, it might even damage their own talent and aptitude, making it extremely difficult to return to their peak.

But what did Xia Jian discover just now?

He discovered that 'Demonic Fear' could actually devour the surrounding life force and then convert it back into its own attributes!

It didn't just make up for the physical depletion, but it effectively eliminated the aftereffects of the Soul Absorption, restoring the attributes to their original level.

Although the "+1" talent has been revamped, the "Magic Fear" meditation method is only at level 3, so the changes are not as significant as expected.

In other words, absorbing life force is an inherent effect of this meditation method!

"Where did Mu Shuang get this meditation method from?"

Xia Jian frowned, not understanding why Mu Shuang had this kind of meditation method.

From the perspective of a normal wizard, this meditation method has already crossed the line into the realm of evil magic.

After all, wizards are also human. Devouring life is against the natural order and morality. If everyone knew this technique, the wizarding world would probably have become a wasteland by now.

If life can be transformed into materials, then humans, with their extremely high reproductive capacity, would only become cultivation materials for wizards.

"Let's focus on recovering from the injuries first."

It would be foolish not to use a cheat, so Xia Jian naturally wouldn't get hung up on the difference between good and evil.

With his eyes closed, Xia Jian continued practicing the "Demonic Fear" meditation technique, and his physical and mental energy began to recover rapidly.

In just a quarter of an hour, the surrounding blood mist was completely dissipated, and Xia Jian's various attributes returned to the level before he practiced the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique, and even increased slightly!
