Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 17 Unexpected Gains

A strong will is an essential quality for becoming a powerful wizard.

On the path of pursuing truth and knowledge, a wizard must be indomitable and persistent.

Furthermore, wizards must always remain calm when facing powerful enemies.

After all, most battles between wizards require the use of mental power.

An unstable wizard cannot even construct a spell model.

At that time, no matter how strong one's mental strength is, it will be no different from being useless.

Perhaps because he had lived two lives, even when facing such a terrifying monster for the first time, Pei Ze was not flustered at all, but rather unusually calm.

An invisible, ghostly giant hand struck the horned monster with a dull whistling sound, sending it staggering.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Ze stepped back and created a distance of more than ten meters.

"roar!"

The horned monster retaliated with a punch, unleashing a powerful and heavy force that shattered the ghostly giant hand, turning it into a gust of wind that dissipated into the air.

Having dealt with the annoying ghostly giant hand, the horned monster charged fiercely at Pei Ze once again.

The latter had already completed the spell. He pointed a finger, and a point of white light shot out, hitting the plant seed that the horned monster had casually tossed aside earlier.

Hiss!

A strange sound suddenly rang out.

Suddenly, countless vines appeared under the horned monster's feet, rapidly thickening and lengthening in the naked eye. They quickly spread upwards along the monster's ankles, wrapping it up tightly like a dumpling, leaving only its head sticking out.

Strangler vine! The light of the plant!

"roar!"

The horned monster struggled frantically, and the tough vines, each as thick as two fingers, snapped one after another, making a crisp sound like a broken string.

Catalyzed by the plant's spiritual light, the strangling vine, which could easily kill a trainee knight, had little effect on the horned monster. In the blink of an eye, most of it broke off, and it looked like it would break free in another two or three seconds.

Fortunately, Pei Ze didn't expect the strangling vine to bind the horned monster for too long; it was just to buy himself time to prepare for his next spell.

As the most powerful and only offensive spell among zero-ring spells, Acid Splash has a much longer preparation time than the improved Mage's Hand and Plant Aura.

When only two or three strangling vines remained on the horned monster, Pei Ze's spell was finally ready.

laugh!

With a flick of Pei Ze's finger, a ball of acid the size of a basketball shot out, accurately hitting the horned monster that was bound in place, instantly splattering it all over its face.

Zizizi!

A large amount of pungent white smoke immediately billowed from the horned monster's face, and it let out a painful howl.

The corrosiveness of acid splashes is even more terrifying than that of aqua regia.

A ball of acid the size of an egg is enough to completely corrode an ordinary adult male, leaving no trace of his body!

Even if the horned monster is incredibly strong, it will definitely not feel good to be hit in a vital area like this!

Not to mention it had already been hit by a burning hand.

Looking closely, the horned monster's face was a bloody mess, its eyes were closed, and it could no longer see its surroundings. It could only frantically wave its fists around, trying to grab the culprit.

Having succeeded with his first strike, Pei Ze, without changing his expression, threw out another strangling vine seed, which rolled smoothly to the feet of the long-horned monster.

Thanks to the convenience of working at the No. 8 herb garden, he acquired a lot of strangler vine seeds, carrying more than ten with him, more than enough to support a battle.

Hiss!

As the plant's spiritual light entered, the strangler vine grew wildly, binding the horned monster tightly once again.

Pei Ze used the same trick again, aiming an acid spray at the horned monster's face.

The improved plant aura consumption has been greatly reduced, requiring only 0.4 points of mental energy per release.

The acid splashes slightly higher, and each release consumes 1 point of mental energy.

With his current mental strength of 16.23, he can cast the two spells ten times without any problem.

Restraint, smear on the face, restraint, smear on the face.

Pei Ze, expressionless, repeated his combo attacks, patiently whittling down the 'BOSS's' health bit by bit.

Although his current physique is not as good as that of the horned monster, it is still more than five times that of an ordinary person. Occasionally, when the horned monster gets close, he can keep his distance in time.

Seven times, eight times, nine times.

When Pei Ze fired the tenth shot of acid, the long-horned monster, already at its limit, finally collapsed to the ground with a thud. Its body twitched for a moment as if electrocuted, and then remained motionless and lifeless.

On that hideous face, the features had long been corroded away, leaving only a large, dark hole, and even much of the bone inside had been corroded.

Seeing this, Pei Ze breathed a long sigh of relief.

He now has less than 1 point of mental energy left, making it impossible for him to use acid splash anymore; he truly has no energy left at all.

If the horned monster doesn't die soon, it will be his turn to run away.

Fortunately, we managed to get rid of this big guy without any major problems!

Just as Pei Ze reached out to wipe away his sweat, he caught a glimpse of two figures standing nearby out of the corner of his eye, which startled him.

He felt a slight sense of relief when he saw that both of them were wearing white robes.

The white robe is the attire of formal wizards in the academy.

The visitor must be a wizard from a medicinal garden in the Garden District.

Standing on the left is a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a thick back, his temples slightly gray, and he exudes a calm and wise demeanor.

To his right was a short, stout man around forty years old, with unremarkable features, except for his exceptionally sharp eyes.

What's even more astonishing is that his right palm is covered with fine black scales, resembling the foot of some kind of lizard.

"Not bad, little guy. A first-level wizard apprentice can take down a demonized creature. That's commendable." The short, stout wizard chuckled, a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Pei Ze.

The middle-aged wizard looked thoughtful, and only after the short, stout wizard finished speaking did he ask Pei Ze, "Little guy, who improved the plant aura you just cast?"

Upon hearing the two wizards' words, Pei Ze immediately understood that these two had obviously been there for quite some time, but had been standing aside watching the battle without making a move.

No wonder no wizards have come for so long; they've been watching the show from the sidelines.

Although he knew that the two of them would definitely come to his aid if he were in danger, Pei Ze couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.

Despite his inner grumbling, he dared not refuse to answer the question posed by the official wizard, and could only say, "I saw it in a book."

Pei Ze did not shy away from revealing the improved plant aura.

Wizards value privacy above all else and rarely pry into the secrets of others, even their apprentices who are of far lower status than themselves.

Perhaps some wizards might be tempted to break their principles when faced with huge profits, but a modified zero-ring spell clearly doesn't have that appeal.

The middle-aged wizard nodded noncommittally and said, "I'm quite interested in this spell. Would you like to make a trade? I can exchange three bottles of spirit spring potion for this spell."

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed when he realized what was happening.

Three bottles of Spirit Spring Potion are worth 600 contribution points, and an improved version of Plant Spirit Light can be exchanged for 600 contribution points, which is a huge profit for him.

Without hesitation, Pei Ze immediately agreed.

"Moweng, didn't you also improve plant aura? Why are you interested in this?" the short, stout wizard said.

"It's different. The plant aura that the little guy uses is different from mine in terms of improvement. Perhaps it can give me some inspiration," Mo Weng said calmly. "Knowledge is power. As long as it's new knowledge that I haven't encountered before, I'm very interested in it, no matter how insignificant it may seem."

The short, stout wizard paused slightly, then nodded gently and said, "You're right."

He then refrained from further comment.

With a casual flick of his wrist, three bottles of potions and a crystal ball appeared out of thin air and slowly flew toward Pei Ze.

"Little one, transfer the spell model into the crystal ball."

Pei Ze took the item, carefully put away the potion, and then looked at the other crystal ball, quickly recognizing it as a memory crystal ball.

A rare treasure that can transfer and store spell models, usually only qualified wizards are qualified to possess.

Pei Ze held the memory crystal ball, closed his eyes, and began to transfer the spell model.

The transmission of the zero-ring spell was very simple, and he finished the transmission in less than a minute.

Then look at Moweng and the short, stout wizard, who are standing beside the horned monster's corpse, discussing something in hushed tones.

Pei Ze did not disturb them, but instead went to Qi Shan's side.

The latter lay motionless on the ground, his chest deeply sunken, blood and foam mixed with fragments of internal organs constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth, clearly barely breathing and not far from death.

He stared wide-eyed at Pei Ze, his eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and intense resentment.
