My health recovery is incredibly fast.

As Beatrice spoke, the silver boomerang swung back and forth once more.

"My condensed boomerang will always be here to demonstrate."

She snapped her fingers lightly, and a wisp of silver mist floated in front of the student. "This wisp of silver mist is also for you to use during training."

Beatrice stretched out her arm to a spot not far away, and a wisp of silver sand drifted to the edge of the training field, coalescing into a silver target.

"This is for you too. It will stay here and serve as your spell target."

Beatrice glanced at the clock on the wall of the training room. "There's still some time before lunch, so train on your own. In the mornings, you can concoct poisons in the Great Alchemy Chamber and study the advanced level of poison alchemy on your own. You can come here to train your spells in the afternoons and evenings."

“Yes, Professor.” Xia Zuo rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try.

Beatrice glanced at him with a smile, and said as she walked towards the training room door:

"If you find it difficult to condense a planar shape, try wind spikes and wind belts first."

Xia Zuo watched his mentor leave, then turned and walked to the edge of the training field, staring at the silver sand spikes and wind belts suspended in mid-air.

He planned to start with the easy ones and gradually master the common forms of offensive spells.

Furthermore, it does not rely on the special ability [Spellcasting Instinct] provided by the cheat system.

How can something as fun as casting spells be made as easy as cheating with a cheat code?

Unless there is an emergency, it is best to rely on casting spells yourself.

You can't rely on a magic touch to handle everything.

Okay, it's settled then.

Xia Zuo nodded, then immersed himself in studying magic.

...

I had a very fruitful day today.

I have fully mastered the three simple and easy-to-use offensive spells: Wind Bullet, Wind Strike, and Wind Belt.

Xia Zuo has almost figured out the uses of these three forms.

The wind bullet is similar to an area-of-effect spell. When it hits an obstacle, it explodes and generates airflow in a range of about 120 degrees in front of it. However, its power is still small at present, and the area-of-effect effect is not yet visible.

Wind Strike is a single-target spell.

It drifts a little further than a wind-blown projectile, reaching a maximum drift distance of about 2.5 meters.

The drifting speed is also faster. As long as you visualize the pattern and the shape of the spikes, aim directly in front of the target on the horizontal plane and silently say "drifting", you can have a hit rate of about 70% to 80% within a five-meter range.

As for wind belts...

To put it simply, this spell is to continuously spray a long stream of air forward. To put it more complexly, the direction of this airflow can be controlled; the airflow can make a small bend of no more than 45 degrees.

Xia Zuo is still unsure of the specific purpose of the wind belt.

Since it has been classified as an offensive spell, it will definitely have a certain degree of offensive capability when its power is high enough in the future.

It was evening.

Today is Sunday, a rest day designated by the university. The professors will not force their students to continue studying on this day.

Xia Zuo practiced many magic-level spells during the day. Apart from feeling very tired due to the depletion of most of his energy, there were no side effects.

He had just learned magic and was itching to try it himself, especially since he still had some energy left, so he wanted to go to the training room to continue practicing magic.

but.

After walking around the lake with Anruer for a few hours, Xia Zuo's restlessness about magic was replaced by his girlfriend's tenderness and soft figure.

They found a soft patch of grass by the lake, sat side by side, admired the stars in the night sky, and chatted about their recent situations and their hopes for the future.

A small piece of paper flew over from the direction of the castle.

Xia Zuo reached out and took the piece of paper, then looked at the name at the bottom.

"Professor Kulov wants to see me." He read through the paper. "After 8 p.m., Professor Kulov wants me to go to the Poison Alchemy Zone."

Anru pinched a strand of her hair and gently brushed it against her boyfriend's neck, causing him to instinctively shrink back. She chuckled softly to herself.

"Hehehe~ Isn't your current advisor the head of the department? Why would Professor Kurov be looking for you?"

Xia Zuo put the piece of paper into his pocket. "It should be related to the meditation method of poison alchemy. This meditation method requires a special alchemical product."

He planned to only talk about what he could, as long as it didn't involve specific names or uses, to avoid leaving too many gaps between the two of them.

The two sat on the grass until after 7 p.m. After Xia Zuo took his girlfriend to the girls' dormitory, he went into the poison alchemy area.

It's still the same here.

Rows of toxin cabinets stood on both sides of the corridor, at the end of which was the basic alchemy area.

To the left of the basic alchemy area is the advanced alchemy area and storage room, while to the right is the corridor leading to the small classroom.

Xia Zuo could walk from the main entrance of the Poison Alchemy Zone to Kulov's sofa without encountering any obstacles, even with his eyes closed.

At this moment, the reading material alchemy section was deserted, with no younger students in sight. Only a solitary figure sat behind a desk.

"Professor, I'm here."

Kurov still looked as old as ever. He had gray hair and a mustache of the same color. He looked at Shazo, whom he hadn't seen for months, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

Kulov pointed to the chair opposite him.

After the other person sat down, he gently placed his hands on the table and said:

"The head of the academy has already mentioned the elemental toxins to me. It's indeed a bit unfair to have you exchange them using points. So, I discussed it with the other masters of poison alchemy and came up with an alternative way to provide you with elemental toxins."

Kulov paused, stroking the corner of his beard, and asked, "Has the head of the academy mentioned to you the test for advancing to the expert-level poison alchemist?"

"The dean already told me, Professor," Xia Zuo nodded and said.

"First, you need to learn the antidotes for common poisons. Then, you need to successfully remove the extra toxicity of the twice-refined Black Eye Poison 150 times in a row."

"These two tasks must be completed before you can apply for promotion to expert-level poison alchemist."

"For the promotion test, I need to use no less than 6 basic toxins to independently develop a new poison and remove the specified toxic effects from this poison."

Beatrice also mentioned something.

Whether the poison Xia Zuo developed has been developed by others in the field of poison alchemy will not affect the results of the postgraduate entrance examination, as long as it is not mentioned in the textbook.

Kulov nodded slowly.

"The masters of poison alchemy have decided that you can obtain elemental toxins by developing a new poison and then its antidote."

"One new poison plus one corresponding antidote, in exchange for one elemental toxin for mage apprentices. You can use this elemental toxin to contain elements, or to test the effects of the poison, in preparation for your future advancement to master-level poison alchemist."

Xia Zuo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Preparing to advance to the Master level? What do you mean, Professor Kulov?"

“Hmm…” Kulov pondered for a moment, “The head of the academy will explain it to you after you become an expert-level poison alchemist.”

"Oh, by the way, have you started learning magic?" Kulov asked.

"We started learning this morning."

Kulov stroked his beard and said with a slightly solemn expression:

"The head of the academy said that you used the [Poisonous Crystal] meditation method to contain the specially made fire element of [Burning]."

"I must remind you that when you cast a spell with this element, the poison effect of the elemental poison crystal will be strengthened for a short period of time."

"Of course. Given the head of the academy's cautious nature, she would definitely be there to keep an eye on things and prevent any accidents from happening."

"I'm just worried, so I'm nagging a bit."

“Thank you, Professor Kurov, I’ll remember that,” Shazo said with a smile.

The two chatted at the desk for a while before Xia Zuo returned to his dormitory to rest.

Chapter 10 [Spell Training] Additional Bonuses

The next day.

in the dormitory.

Xia Zuo awoke from a deep meditative state.

One diluted calming potion can provide eight hours of deep meditation time.

When he opened his eyes in bed, the hands of the clock were pointing to 6 a.m.

Practicing basic meditation techniques during deep meditation can also restore energy, leaving you feeling refreshed when you wake up in the morning.

While washing up, Xia Zuo reviewed the information transmitted from his mental cheat system.

He spent the entire night practicing basic meditation to expand his mental ocean, only to gain a negligible amount of mental attribute points. It was less than what [Spell Training] provided.

It might be because there are too few obedient elements. Maybe when there are dozens or hundreds of them in the future, the mental attribute value given by running the basic meditation method will increase.

I pushed open the door, walked to the dining room, and had breakfast with Anruer.

Today is Monday.

In the morning, the dean will give a lecture to the new students.

After breakfast, Xia Zuo bid farewell to his girlfriend and went to the Grand Alchemy Chamber to study poison-making on his own.

They have mastered all the poisons and antidotes at the proficient level.

The next step is to focus on removing the toxic effects.

The process of removing the toxicity is different from the previous refining methods.

In the past, the furnace was blazing, the liquid was churning, and the air was thick with steam. People would be busy at the alchemy table, wielding spatulas and ladles.

But when it comes to stripping away the poison's effects, the poison alchemist is more like a gardener waiting for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit.

Xia Zuo first needs to follow the instructions in "The Stripping of Poison Effects" to refine a solution called the base liquid using non-toxic raw materials and a single-refined Black Eye Poison.

According to the book, the term "base liquid" is a common term used in both poison alchemy and potion alchemy.

In the field of poison alchemy.

The term "base solution" specifically refers to a solution that does not contain the toxicity to be stripped, but contains the toxicity that needs to be retained.
