Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

I walked out of the exchange hall.

Lin Bai stopped in front of a stone building marked "Workshop for Rent".

He paid some Trail Blazers Points and rented a basic small alchemy workshop for one day.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, you'll find a ten-square-meter enclosed space inside.

Lin Bai locked the stone door from the inside.

Quiet is what he needs most right now.

The seven animal hide scrolls obtained from the exchange hall were laid out one by one on the stone table.

"Mud Spell" and "Wind Spell".

Two volumes, one level.

Rock Armor Technique, Mental Shock, Energy Detection, Mental Barrier, Weakness Curse

Five volumes, second level.

Finally, there was the heaviest third-tier attack spell—Annihilation Ray.

Lin Bai looked at the scroll on the table, his mind sinking into his body, taking stock of his gains this time.

The world origin he obtained from killing the Shadow Wolf and the Earth-Splitting Demon Ape far exceeded his expectations.

He hadn't expected that, despite only being one level apart, these two seventh-tier behemoths had plundered far more essence than the sixth-tier Blood Lion Beast.

The Shadow Wolf contributed two hundred portions.

Earth-Splitting Demon Ape, 150 portions.

Adding to the ten portions that were left over from the Blood Lion Beast.

In total, 360 copies.

Three hundred and sixty copies of the origin of the world.

I don't know if it will be enough.

He looked at the first-tier spell on the table, "Mud Swamp Spell".

The first requirement for advancing to the second tier is mastering five first-tier techniques, and he is currently missing two.

Lin Bai gave instructions to the parchment in his mind.

"Deduction, the 'Mud Swamp Technique'."

He mobilized ten portions of the world's origin.

A grayish-white aura permeated the parchment, and the patterns on the paper flashed by. All the structure and spellcasting techniques of the "Mud Swamp Spell" flooded into Lin Bai's consciousness.

Master it instantly.

The consumption was exactly ten portions, neither too many nor too few.

Lin Bai picked up another volume, "The Art of Wind".

"Deduction".

Another ten portions of the source were consumed.

Feeling the growth of his spiritual power, Lin Bai knew that he was just one last opportunity away from breaking through to the second stage.

Second-tier spell!

Pick up a second-tier spellbook, "Rock Armor Spellbook".

He needs to know the cost of deriving a second-order spell.

First, try to mobilize ten portions of the source.

The parchment reacted, but the patterns on the paper only lit up briefly before falling silent; the deduction was not yet complete.

not enough.

Lin Bai added ten more portions.

It's still not enough.

Until he increased the amount of source he injected to thirty.

The patterns on the parchment finally lit up completely, and the entire deduction was completed in a single breath.

The moment the technique was learned, mental strength experienced a surge.

If his previous mental energy was like a small puddle, his total mental energy after entering the second stage was equivalent to a small river.

He has now entered the second tier of alchemy!

But... it's not over yet!

"A second-tier technique requires thirty portions of Origin."

Lin Bai understood.

It is three times that of a first-order spell.

That's acceptable.

He looked at the four remaining second-tier spellbooks on the table.

The first requirement for advancing to the third rank is mastering five second-rank techniques.

To fully master it, one needs 150 copies of the World Origin.

He did not hesitate.

"Deduction, 'Mental Shock'."

"Deduction, Energy Detection."

......

He learned all five second-tier spells in one go.

Of the 360 ​​portions of the world's origin, only 190 remained in the blink of an eye.

Lin Bai's gaze finally landed on the third-tier spell, Annihilation Ray.

This is the final condition for advancing to the third rank.

He directly mobilized fifty sources.

The parchment remained completely still.

One hundred copies.

Still no response.

Lin Bai made a firm decision and directly increased the number of Origin Points to one hundred and fifty.

This time, the parchment finally changed.

On the dark paper, countless intricate patterns flashed wildly, their complexity far exceeding any previous instance.

The simulation is complete.

Lin Bai pursed his lips.

A third-tier technique requires 150 units of origin.

It is five times that of the second order.

This doubling of the growth rate is not a good sign.

Tier 1 costs 10, Tier 2 costs 30, Tier 3 costs 150, how much would Tier 4 cost? 1000? Or 1500?

But I don't have the mind to think about those things right now.

Lin Bai felt the incredibly complex technique that had appeared in his mind. Of the 360 ​​World Origins, only the last 40 remained.

At the very moment that the Annihilation Ray was fully mastered.

Lin Bai felt a sudden jolt in his mind.

The mental energy seemed to have broken through some invisible barrier, and began to grow and solidify rapidly.

The sea of ​​consciousness, which was originally like a river, is now expanding into a lake.

Third-tier alchemist.

It became.

Lin Bai quietly sensed the changes within his body; the increase in power was even more pronounced than he had anticipated.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The advancement is complete, and the remaining forty portions of world origin are temporarily useless.

So, what's next...?

His consciousness sank into his body, looking at the location of his spine.

There, nine star-like engravings floated silently.

One of the engravings, representing "power," shone brightly, echoing his presence.

The remaining eight remained dim.

Upon advancing to the next rank, he activated his Power Body.

He is now a third-tier alchemist, which is enough to enable him to activate his second secret body.

Lies, space, Shinto faith, trickery, fate, elemental manipulation, darkness, and that rusty greatsword.

Lin Bai's consciousness swept over the eight dim imprints.

Which one should I choose?

In terms of combat strength, the Power Body is sufficient for now.

What he needs most right now is a more flexible approach.

This is to deal with the complex situations that may arise in the Crimson Land, as well as the various unknown risks when traveling to other worlds in the future.

He quickly focused his attention on the two inscriptions: trickery and elemental control.

These two markings represent unpredictable methods and pure destructive power, respectively.

Elemental control allows one to manipulate the power of Netherfire, Boundary Wind, Heavy Water, and Azure Earth, each of which is an extremely powerful energy.

If activated, it can perfectly compensate for the weakness of the Power Body's overly simplistic attack methods.

As for the trickery and secret body-changing techniques, those are even more amazing.

Whether it's the third wall that challenges conventional understanding or spiritual reflection.

Or the waltz that creates illusions, when performed, is ever-changing and impossible to defend against.

In terms of functionality, it is even more powerful than element control.

Lin Bai weighed the options briefly.

In terms of combat strength, the power of the secret body is sufficient for the time being.

What he needs now is a flexible and adaptable approach to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

He extended his consciousness toward the dim star that represented "trickery".

This is it.

The thought had barely formed when Su Wan's lazy voice echoed in my mind.

"Honey, I think you should choose the one I gave you."

Lin Bai paused, "Why?"

"What you need now is a secret body that is highly functional, but not completely devoid of offensive capabilities, right?"

Su Wan said.

"Power Body is too direct, and Trick Body lacks some direct offensive power. I think Dark Ability is the most suitable."

After listening, Lin Bai simply said "Oh".

"it is good."

Without further hesitation, his consciousness directly touched the mark representing "darkness".

Su Wan's well-prepared, detailed explanation of how useful and comprehensive dark abilities were, got stuck in her throat; she didn't get a single word out.
