Chapter 167 Breaking Limits in Meditation

Richard took a deep breath, calmed his turbulent emotions, and began to ponder again.

He had a vague premonition that his current choice was closely related to the innate magic he would trigger when he became a formal wizard in the future.

Therefore, he first ruled out those breakthrough paths that would most likely only trigger one talent spell. Although one of these talent spells might be very powerful, it was still not safe enough.

Richard understood that even characters like One-Punch Man from his previous life could often kill or cripple their opponents with a single strike.

However, there is a prerequisite for the Bald Cape Warrior: his defense is actually extremely high, and no matter what kind of attack he encounters, no enemy can effectively damage him.

What does this tell us?

This illustrates the importance of defense!

Therefore, Richard filtered out all the breakthrough paths that could potentially generate two innate spells, and abandoned all those breakthrough paths that were very likely to trigger only one innate spell.

Richard then began to think about it carefully again!

For example, some breakthrough paths specifically enhance attack power, but he felt that the two talent spells, which were both attack-oriented, were not fundamentally different from the powerful attack-oriented talent spell he had just used. After a moment's thought, Richard shook his head and gave up on them all.

Since both of Richard's innate magical talents were defensive in nature, and he clearly didn't want to become a turtle-shell wizard, he immediately ruled out all those paths to advancement.

In that case, there aren't many options left, only about ten.

The remaining ones have both offensive and defensive capabilities, but the emphasis on offense and defense differs.

The first breakthrough path was too offensive. Although offense is the best defense, Richard believed that when surrounded, a good defensive talent spell could very well save him from a desperate situation. So after thinking about it, he quickly abandoned this offensive breakthrough path.

The next breakthrough path, however, is overly defensive.

The next breakthrough path, while offering both offense and defense, had an overly obvious offensive talent magic that was easily countered by opponents. Richard shook his head again!

Article 4.

Finally, after a long period of deep thought, Richard's expression turned serious, and he made up his mind to choose a breakthrough path—a breakthrough path that was both offensive and defensive, without any obvious weaknesses.

After choosing the next breakthrough path of the Rodriguez meditation method, Richard adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, and a wealth of inspiration collided to create countless sparks of thought!

Instantly, the first-level sorcery model, which he had already mastered with his mental energy, shone brightly.

Based on all seven spell runes in the first layer of the spell model, new spell runes are now being generated.

The feeling was strange. Richard felt as if he were building a house. The first floor had already been built, and now he was starting to build the second floor on that foundation.

The first newly generated second-layer sorcery rune has an extremely complex shape, resembling the character "Ж", with a vertical three-dimensional graphic added in the middle. It is at least several times more difficult to draw than the seventh sorcery rune of the first layer.

Fortunately, this was in a dream, and Richard instinctively sketched the exact shape of the first rune of the second layer between the two first-layer sorcery runes.

Then, fueled by a flood of inspiration, Richard, in a state of mental overload, quickly constructed a second, complex magical rune.

The third one.

Until the sixth one!

After the most complex sixth sorcery rune was completed, all six runes shone brightly, like six children holding hands, forming a ring-shaped model slightly smaller than the first layer.

When this ring is perfectly fitted onto the first layer, it instantly creates a two-layered, round cake-like overall model.

Thus, the second level of Rodrigo's meditation technique has been successfully broken!

With a dizzying sensation, Richard's soul returned to his body.

At the same time, a notification also appeared on the inspiration panel:

[Rodriguez Meditation Method (Apprentice Edition) has successfully reached its limit, consuming a total of 113982 energy points. Please name the newly generated meditation method?]

Seeing this scene, Richard was overjoyed. If he weren't still in the Norman Secret Realm, he would have loved to shout out loud and vent his emotions!

After much effort and by sheer chance, I broke through the monopoly on advanced meditation techniques in the wizarding world!

Using the Rodriguez Meditation Method (Apprentice Edition) as a pot and the first level of three other advanced meditation methods as firewood, he finally "cooked" an advanced meditation method that suited him.

But how should it be named?

This question stumped Richard.

The main problem was that Richard had never considered this issue; he originally intended to name it the Rodrigo Meditation Method (First-Level Wizard).

But thinking about my own innovative version, it must be vastly different from the original Rodriguez meditation method, even stylistically distinct.

So Richard pondered whether it would be appropriate to still use the four characters "Rodriguez" as the name.

However, after a moment's thought, Richard decided to name it after Rodrigo, but added two words in the middle, naming the newly generated meditation method Rodrigo Mutant Meditation Method.

After all, he based his work on the Rodriguez meditation method, evolving and innovating upon it.

We should never forget those who dug the well when we drink the water!

[The new meditation method has been successfully named.]

Richard is currently at the beginner level 1 in the new meditation method after breaking the limit—Rodriguez's Mutant Meditation Method.

However, after practicing for a while, Richard had a premonition that if he chose to continue improving, he would soon break through to the level of a formal wizard by relying on the new meditation method, and he would be expelled from the secret realm for a certain period of time.

Secondly, he already had a clear premonition that after his breakthrough, he would generate two innate magical arts, something he already knew when he chose his breakthrough path.

However, what he can clearly sense right now is that the offensive talent spell is most likely a level one mental spell—Mental Shock!

The other defensive talent spell is still not very clear. It is only known that it is a level 1 defensive spell in the Shadow school. We will only know which level 1 spell it is after we successfully break through.

When advancing to a formal wizard, the occurrence of generating two innate wizardry spells requires meeting two conditions for a small probability of success. First, the first level of Advanced Meditation, or the Apprentice level, must be mastered at the Master level or above.

The second condition is that the two or more spells that are highly compatible with the meditation method should be mastered at a higher level.

The first condition alone shut out 90% of third-level wizard apprentices, not to mention the even more difficult second condition.

But for Richard, none of these difficulties exist at all!

Because Richard had already mastered meditation and witchcraft to the highest level through the Inspiration Panel.

However, after standing there for a moment, Richard muttered to himself, "Why do I have a vague feeling that I have a third innate talent for witchcraft?"

Richard had never heard of a situation where three innate spells were generated upon promotion to a full-fledged wizard!

Moreover, his premonition about this third innate sorcery was very vague, and he himself did not know what type or which system of sorcery it would be.

Innate sorcery means instant casting of level one sorcery and extremely low mental energy consumption. From this perspective, it is easy to explain why level one wizards and wizard apprentices have such different combat abilities.

A first-level spell cast instantly by a qualified wizard requires at least two to three defensive level-zero spells for a wizard apprentice to block.

Obviously, even if a wizard apprentice manages to survive the first blow, what will he use to defend himself when the official wizard delivers the second and third blows in quick succession?

There was no other option but to run away.

-

Gildas's clone was resting in a secluded forest.

Several hours have passed, and so far, according to the plan, only one team member has arrived to meet him, named Stefan Moon.

However, through the precious orb in his hand, he could sense that other team members were rapidly converging on them.

Because the two remained stationary, the light from the [Mistman Tor Orb] in their hands grew brighter and brighter.

Clearly, this situation indicates that other holders of the gems are on their way, though it's unclear whether it's one or two people.

As for the situation of these three people?

Gildas never imagined he could gather all the team members.

For him, as long as two teammates could join him, he could practically roam freely in the Norman Secret Realm, except for a very few enemies.

As the pearl in his hand grew brighter, suddenly, the sounds of explosions and breaking branches faintly came from the dense forest to his left.

"Not good!" Gildas reacted instantly. Although he still considered the team members, who were at the limit level of the third-level wizard apprentice, to be weaklings, they would never be so careless.

Making such a commotion near the core area of ​​the Norman Secret Realm most likely indicates that they are being hunted down, which is why they acted so recklessly.

Gildas immediately stood up, waved his right hand, and the two of them quickly stealthily moved towards the direction from which the sound came.

Through the dappled shade of the trees, a young man with short chestnut hair could be seen running frantically, occasionally throwing alchemical bombs behind him, causing violent explosions to hinder the pursuers behind him.

He himself rolled around in a very disheveled manner, dodging the arrows that suddenly came from behind!

"It's Harley Rubio!" Stefan, with his sharp eyes, recognized him immediately as his familiar teammate Harley. Just as he was about to rush forward to help, Gildas stopped him.

"Don't rush, let's check the enemy's situation behind us first!" Gildas said in a deep voice.

Although he had already deduced from the few arrows that the opponent was most likely a Night Elf Spider Knight.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, several fully armed knights in armor emerged from the dense forest behind them, longbows in hand, and began to approach the apprentice named Harley.

"One, two, five... a total of five Spider Knights, plus the companion Spiders, has Harley stirred up a hornet's nest?" Stefan gasped in shock.

Even if he and Gildarts's clone attacked together, the five Spider Knights would likely face a tough battle.

Luckily, I was stopped by the wizard Gildarts. Otherwise, if I had rushed forward rashly, I would probably have joined the fleeing army and been running away in panic!

Stefan felt a wave of fear wash over him!

Gildas frowned slightly upon seeing this. Five Spider Knights were a bit too many; it seemed he would have to put in a little more effort.

He turned to Stefan and said, "Attack from the side, mainly using scrolls and alchemical bombs to draw their attention."

"I will launch an attack from behind within three seconds. At that time, you two just need to delay them and prevent them from escaping."

Since Gildas wasn't very familiar with the two, the task he assigned was relatively easy.

Wow! The fight hasn't even started yet, and he's already certain he'll defeat his opponent! Is this the strength and confidence of a true wizard?

Upon hearing the wizard Gildas speak in a tone that suggested he viewed others as cattle to be slaughtered at will, Stefan was filled with admiration and immediately agreed!

The next second, Stefan swiftly carried out the order. When he looked back at Gildas's location, he found that the hiding place was now empty, demonstrating Gildas's incredible speed!

Stefan tore open a powerful scroll, and instantly, a black beam of light as thick as a bowl shot out, severely injuring one of the Spider Knights.

Then, he threw out several more alchemical bombs, which startled and enraged the pursuing spider knights, causing them to panic and become flustered!

Meanwhile, Harley, the team member who was fleeing ahead, instantly perked up, his face beaming with joy, as if he had escaped death.

When Harley first teleported to the Norman Secret Realm, he was relieved that there were no enemies around.

But as he followed the pearl's guidance to move closer to his teammates, good fortune slipped away from him!

About half an hour earlier, he was discovered by the Night Elf Spider Knights, and there were five of them. This made Harley completely lose the will to fight, and he fled frantically.

If he hadn't exchanged enough combat potions and alchemical bombs in the base's secret vault before coming here, he would probably be in grave danger this time!

However, the journey was fraught with danger, and the various potions and bombs exchanged for thousands of magic stones were almost completely used up.

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, the Spider Knights, regaining their senses, discovered that the attacker had only been one person, and they were immediately enraged.

Seemingly ashamed and indignant about their own overly cautious actions, they immediately dispersed their defensive formation and all four charged forward!

Just as the spider knight on the far side was about to raise his bow and shoot, a sudden gust of wind came from behind.

Just as he sensed something was wrong and was about to turn around to check, he heard a "plop!" sound and felt a sharp, sharp pain in his abdomen.

Looking down, he saw a thick and incredibly sharp claw piercing through his lower back and protruding into his abdomen!

To his disbelief, the finely patterned knight's armor he was wearing seemed to offer no protection whatsoever.

In the hands of these exceptionally sharp claws, it was like a piece of thin paper, torn apart in an instant!

He let out a scream.

The next second, there was a loud "ripping" sound!

His entire body was torn in two from top to bottom!
