Chapter 23 - Magic Barrier

Wu Yan looked at the Skill Books floating in the air. There was a detailed explanation under each Skill Book.

"Skill one, Exploding star LV1 (50% chance to cause double damage when casting a magic skill).

"Skill two, Magic Singing Speed LV1 (increasing Magic Singing speed by 30%).

"Skill three, Cone of Cold LV1 (causing 60 Magic Damage and has a penetrating effect)."

...

The more Wu Yan looked at it, the more he frowned. It was all skills that could increase Magic Damage. This did not match his initial development plan.

The Skill Learning Magister's pale face suddenly changed expression. He could actually see a dissatisfied expression on this young player's face.

Then he thought, "It was no wonder.

"A talented young man should be a little arrogant."

The Skill Learning Magister recalled how arrogant he had been when he had joined the Magic Guild.

Gritting his teeth, the Skill Learning Magister said, "Adventurer, your Intelligence talent is quite outstanding. I can raise a skill to LV2 for free."

"What?" Wu Yan was stunned. He replied, "It's not that I'm not satisfied with the level of this skill."

The Skill Learning Magister thought, "Oh? Could it be that I've misunderstood?"

He gently tapped the red brick floor with the goat-headed Magic Wand in his hand.

He asked, "Then why are you still hesitating about what to choose?" From his point of view, there was no doubt that these magic skills were of good quality.

Even Cone of Cold had been meticulously modified. Normally, such a basic magic skill would only have normal damage and would not have any side effects.

Wu Yan shook his head and sighed. "Magister, it's not that I'm hesitating. There aren't any magic Skill Books suitable for me."

After saying that, he took out the three random magic Skill Books in his hand.

Compared to the appearance of the seven Skill Books floating in the air, these three magic Skill Books looked much more ordinary on the surface.

They looked like poor-quality products.

"Can I randomly choose magic skills other than these seven magic Skill Books?" Wu Yan asked.

The Skill Learning Magister's expression was not very good. His eyes were filled with incomprehension. The effect of Exploding Star would become greater as time went on. It was simply the ultimate skill that every Mage yearned for.

"Look carefully. The first skill is Exploding Star!" The Skill Learning Magister controlled his trembling voice.

A Skill Learning Magister who originally looked weak became spirited after Wu Yan's actions.

Wu Yan nodded. He indeed knew about this skill, but the effect of this skill was not great for him now, and the effect might not be great in the future.

He had to choose the skill matching his talent.

Many people made this choice.

Not necessarily the public choice was the wrong one. It was also experienced by many players personally.

The most famous Lethal Blade had once said in public, "Your gaming experience is completely determined once you finish setting up your account and choosing your talent."

The main idea was that talent was very important. If one used the right skill to match the talent, the power of the talent could be brought to the maximum.

According to Wu Yan's current path, he wanted to see if he could have a magic skill that could maintain his HP or increase his maximum HP.

Wu Yan tried his best to make himself clear to the Skill Learning Magister. "Magister, have you ever seen a skill that can convert HP and MP into each other?"

The Skill Learning Magister's body trembled, and the goat-headed Magic Wand in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He stammered, "Be careful with your words! Adventurer, do you know that this is a forbidden skill?"

Wu Yan had already thought of this.

He felt a little regretful. Before he transmigrated, he had rarely encountered such a skill.

He found such skills In some BT games he had played before, and such skills were quite useful.

The Skill Learning Magister fell into deep thought.

He thought, "Could it be that I was outdated?

"Young Mages nowadays were so radical?

"They would rather use up their HP to cast magic?"

He looked at the faint dark clouds in the sky. He had served in this Main City for so long as a magister.

He naturally knew about the changes in this game world.

The Skill Learning Magister had once been extremely popular. Gone were the days when everyone took glory in being a Mage.

In this world, invisible rules were restricting the development of Mages.

The Skill Learning Magister looked at Wu Yan in relief.

At least, there was still such a talented Mage who dared to fight and charge for the honor of being a Mage.

He decided to give it a try.

Usually, the characteristics of random magic Skill Books were random. For example, the three books that Wu Yan held in his hands were all the magic Skill Books that could be chosen randomly for people in LV10 to LV20.

Although all magic skills could be chosen randomly, the probability was not the same.

The higher the quality of the skill, the lower the probability of being chosen randomly. This also greatly reduced the thought of other players wanting to make a comeback through random skills.

The Skill Learning Magister figured it out. It was rare for such a talented Mage to be willing to use such a radical magic skill. It reminded him of his motivation to seek to learn magic skills back then.

"Alright!" The Skill Learning Magister raised his voice and said, "Then let me guide your magic skills learning path."

The Skill Learning Magister took the three magic Skill Books from Wu Yan's hands. Then, he used the goat-headed Magic Wand to point out a special Magic Circle.

The three random magic Skill Books were in mid-air, revolving around the center of the Magic Circle.

After a few seconds, the three random magic Skill Books increased their speed and then merged into a random magic Skill Book.

The quality of this random magic Skill Book was quite similar to the magic Skill Books he was offered to select from. And one could see the magic power exposed outside.

Wu Yan stared at the status of the Skill Learning Magister, whose breathing rate had obviously increased. This combined Magic Circle seemed to have consumed quite a lot of his strength.

The Skill Learning Magister looked at the random magic Skill Book with magic power satisfied. Then he said to Wu Yan, "Next, it's the second step. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not, but there is a 50% chance of getting to "HP-MP conversion" randomly. Do you want to try?"

Wu Yan nodded without hesitation. He still wanted to try it even if there was only a 10% chance.

Since "HP-MP conversion" was a forbidden skill, it was definitely not in the originally random Magic Pool.

It should be the Skill Learning Magister who added this skill.

The Skill Learning Magister held his breath and began to concentrate. He needed to use his magic fluctuations and thoughts to change the outcome of the random magic Skill Book the moment it was opened.

A few minutes passed.

He had never felt so good before. But he only managed to create a skill called Magic Barrier.

The Skill Learning Magister accepted the reality dejectedly. And he looked at Wu Yan apologetically.

But Wu Yan's expression was a little strange. He did not look too sad.

He probably didn't want to make the Skill Learning Magister lose face.

The cold and aloof Skill Learning Magister said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have wasted one of your Skills Bars."

He couldn't control his magic power just now, so he could only transfer the half-finished magic Skill Book directly to Wu Yan's Skills Bar.
