PS: There are only two chapters in Mid-Autumn Festival. The reason
I came here during this period of time was because of the tragedy in Leisong County, knowing that a large number of souls would come.
Likewise, the massacre of that village was not his doing. As mentioned before, although he needed souls, he would not deliberately massacre mortals. The souls he collected before were mostly from various monsters or alien races.
He has also decided to go to the north of the empire in a while to kill aliens, collect their souls, and take revenge at the same time.
Of course, although he would not kill humans in large numbers, he was not so pedantic as to not want souls. Therefore, this powerful vengeful spirit created by a dark wizard who deliberately massacred a village was taken in by him along with the dark wizard after he massacred several villages.
The powerful vengeful spirit and the dark wizard together provided him with the equivalent of more than 20,000 qualified souls, which immediately fulfilled one-fifth of the requirement.
At this time, Lin Xiao already had enough strength to deal with ordinary formal wizards, although strictly speaking he had not yet been promoted to a formal wizard.
But when he and Julian tried their best to deliberately fuse a large amount of the blood of the ancient Titan God, the people behind him did not die, and the fused blood did not disappear. In the end, he completely fused the stimulated blood of the ancient Titan God, and when the fusion was complete, his physical fitness exceeded twenty-five points in all. This is comparable to that of a strong second-level wizard or creature, and is enough to easily suppress almost all first-level wizards.
If he meets Julian again,
he still has the ability to escape head-on, and there is a possibility of winning, but it is not great. After all, the other party has lived for so long and has so many tricks. The key is that Julian also has a trump card. He used the power of an ancestor who was the son of the divine realm to escape before. Before he figured this out, he didn't dare to take action, for fear of being killed instantly by the other party's big move. Next time, he won't have the chance to meet a being like the Lord of the Strange Valley to save his life.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao is not in a hurry. He will wait until he completes the transaction of 100,000 souls and gains his freedom. During this period, his strength will become even stronger. It will not be too late to take action once he is ready.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Now Lin Xiao has not been promoted to a formal wizard, but he has met most of the conditions for promotion. He has accumulated more than 30 points of mental power and more than 30 points of mana. As long as he prepares a suitable spell model and solidifies it into innate witchcraft, he can start the promotion.
The main reason for coming to Buz, a city where many individual wizards gather, is to buy a suitable spell model.
Without the support of the school, he could only rely on himself.
The so-called solidified spell model is to fix a model of witchcraft in the spiritual sea constructed by a formal wizard when he is promoted to a formal wizard, so that this spell becomes his own innate spell.
Innate spells are equivalent to human instincts. They are not only powerful and low-consuming, but most importantly, they can be cast quickly. Because they are directly fixed in the sea of spirituality, any innate spell can be cast instantly and can be used as long as the mind moves.
This is where a formal wizard is far stronger than an apprentice. While the apprentice needs to prepare materials and chant spells, and even after spending five or six seconds, he still cannot fully cast a first-level spell, the formal wizard can instantly cast a more powerful first-level spell with just a thought. It is obvious who is more powerful.
The innate spells chosen by most formal wizards are defensive spells, as saving one's life is the most important thing at all times.
Lin Xiao did not follow the unconventional idea and also planned to create a defensive spell.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao went to the city trading area and sold all the spoils he had collected over the years, earning a total of 66 magic stones. Together with the spoils he had accumulated before, such as the spoils he had looted from Julian's lover, he sold them all, and his total net worth was about 100 magic stones.
He used these magic stones to buy five first-level defensive spells, spending a total of fifty-three magic stones, an average of about ten magic stones per spell.
The five witchcraft models are water shield, water shield, stoneskin, force field, magic armor, plus the air shield he has learned, for a total of six defensive spells.
He first spent some time learning all of these defensive spells, and then used runes to construct these spells one by one in his sea of spirituality, becoming proficient in them.
Then, his consciousness entered the Magic Cube of Creation, and he used his mental power to reconstruct these witchcraft models inside the Magic Cube of Creation. Then, he began to analyze these witchcraft models based on the knowledge he had mastered.
Each wizard will only obtain a talent spell when he is promoted to a higher level. Theoretically, the most powerful wizard can only obtain eight talent spells, so the choice of each talent spell is very important.
Lin Xiao planned to analyze all these defensive spells first, and then combine the advantages of these defensive spells and use the magic of the Creation Cube to re-derive a new defensive spell that combines the advantages of all defensive spells as his own innate spell.
It doesn't need to be perfect, just absorb the advantages of these defensive witchcrafts.
After all, witchcraft is too powerful and can easily exceed the standard and become level two witchcraft, so it cannot become a first-level wizard's innate spell.
He used the air shield, the air magic he had learned earliest, as the basis, and combined the two defensive spells of water and fire to create a powerful defense against the two energies of water and fire. The advantage of Stoneskin is that in addition to the powerful physical defense, it can also transform the air shield from an eggshell-shaped shield into a close-fitting shield.
The force field technique has super strong defense, and the magic armor technique can further shape the defensive spell into various forms, and can slightly increase one's own physical fitness.
Finally, by combining these many defensive spells with his own understanding of spells and consuming a certain amount of energy, Lin Xiao derived a first-level defensive spell with super defensive power.
After this witchcraft is cast, it will summon a layer of extremely defensive close-fitting light film, just like wearing a thin piece of clothing, but it has extremely powerful defense and increases personal physical fitness.
Putting on this layer of protective light film will not affect his close combat skills at all, it is quite suitable.
Lin Xiao named this newly derived witchcraft - Wind Spirit Armor.
Next, he purchased several special spells and re-derived several powerful witchcrafts.
They are the Moon Shadow Technique which greatly increases his speed and dodge.
Hand of the Mage and Heat spell stack to create Hands of Fire, which adds additional heat damage.
The air blade technique, which is a combination of wind blade technique and sharpness technique, is not only faster, but also has stronger penetrating power.
As well as the confinement spell that combines Air Binding, Rock Hands and Root Entanglement into one, it can bind the enemy in any environment. It is the only spell he knows that can restrict the enemy.
These spells are all first-level spells. Not only are they the most powerful among spells of the same level, but most importantly, they have a wide range of adaptability and can exert extremely strong power in basically any environment and situation.
After doing all this, Lin Xiao rented a bigger house and started his breakthrough.
A normal breakthrough for a formal wizard requires the assistance of awakening potions, using magic potions to stimulate the body and mind, temporarily increasing mental strength by overdrawing the body and lifespan, thereby forcing a breakthrough.
If successful, it would be great as it would break through the limits of life and elevate the soul, which would greatly increase lifespan.
But once the breakthrough fails, not only will the body become weakened due to overdraft, but the consumed lifespan will not be restored.
Therefore, generally speaking, each wizard apprentice has at most two or three opportunities to break through in his lifetime. The older he gets, the fewer chances he has. Those wizard apprentices over seventy or eighty years old generally only have one chance to break through. Once they fail to break through, they will quickly age and die within a few years.
The common awakening potions on the market are Water of Yasu, Shock Potion and Nightmare Potion.
In addition, there are some uncommon potions, which generally have strong effects but also strong side effects and are difficult to mix.
Lin Xiao did not need any magic potion to break through this time, because he had more than 48,000 souls in his hands. He could borrow the spiritual power of these souls for a temporary impact. Not only did it have no side effects, but the effect was much stronger than various awakening potions.
After all, even the Yasu Water, which is said to have the weakest side effects, will weaken one's lifespan by at least ten years.
In fact, he could also directly devour souls to permanently increase his mental strength. This was one of the abilities he gained when trading with that unknown strange being, but he did not do so.
Mainly because I don't dare.
Devouring was easy, and these souls had no power to resist in his hands. The feeling of gaining permanent spiritual power after devouring them was indescribable.
But devouring souls is like absorbing knowledge, once you start, you can't stop.
Over time, various impurities will slowly be mixed into one's soul. These distracting thoughts will affect the stability of one's soul, and over time the whole person will go crazy.
Although borrowing the spiritual power of the soul can also be addictive, it is not as strong. The key is to be able to stop it. Anyone with a stronger self-will can quit it.
How powerful is the power of 48,000 souls?
Even if only a small part of it is borrowed, its total amount is more than ten times stronger than Lin Xiao's current mental power, easily promoting a qualitative change in his mental power and mana, condensing into a mana vortex in his soul, solidifying his innate magic in it.
And then, nothing happened. At this point, he had been promoted to a formal wizard.
When the borrowed mental power faded away, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes. A light screen that only he could see lit up in the corner of his eyes, and an attribute panel appeared in front of him.
Lin Xiao/Leng Lan.
Attributes: Constitution 27.2, Strength 28.1, Agility 22.5, Spirit 55.5, Mana 54.3.
Innate spell: Wind Spirit Armor.
Bloodline: Unknown.
Spells: first-level spell hands of fire, first-level spell moon shadow, first-level spell air blade, first-level spell imprisonment.
Status: Mana active.
This attribute is already quite powerful, and there is still room for growth.
As his mental power vaporizes, liquefies, and then crystallizes, each level of mana tempering will increase his physical fitness. Although it is not much and is far less than the bloodline school, it is still considerable when added up.
After all, he is just a first-level wizard now.
Moreover, he could also switch to the path of a bloodline wizard in the future. Once he found a way to advance to the level of a bloodline wizard, he would switch immediately. With the bloodline of the ancient Titan god, the bloodline wizard path was far more promising than the orthodox wizard path.
After being promoted to an official wizard, Lin Xiao made some preparations and left Buzz City to the north.
He planned to go beyond the northernmost border of the empire to hunt aliens and collect their souls, to take revenge and kill Julian.
