The next day, Kevin woke up, stretched lazily, and then hurried outside to relieve himself.
He waved his hand and nodded, "I estimate I'll be at level three by tonight!"
"Keep it up!"
"Let's eat first!"
Saying that, Kevin condensed several large fireballs for Gurgle's breakfast.
Arriving at the river, Kevin looked at the stone crabs in the river, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Humph, this time I won't have to get wet to catch you!
He stood by the river, spread his hands, and the river water immediately surged. A few stone crabs, small fish, and shrimp at the bottom of the river began to float up, and no matter how they struggled, it was useless. In the end, a dozen small water spheres wrapped with river delicacies floated out of the river surface and then floated to Kevin's side.
Kevin laughed heartily, looking very proud.
The system's analysis is really powerful!
After the magic is analyzed, it can be perfectly controlled!
What is perfect control?
It means it can be cast instantly!
It can also be cast simultaneously!
No need for guidance, no need for incantations, no need for drawing magical arrays!
As long as there is enough mana, with a thought, he can cast as many spells as he wants, and he can cast them however he wants. He can even consume all his mana at once and cast dozens of spells at the same time!
For example, right now, he is using the water cannon technique to catch river delicacies.
Condensing the water cannon can be done directly with river water, and then the river water wraps around the river delicacies, controlling the water sphere to come to his side.
With perfect control, his mastery of magic is simply second nature, like an extension of his arm!
Then he condensed a series of metal skewers, preparing to skewer the river delicacies. He planned to use half for soup and half for barbecue, otherwise, he would be bored drinking soup all day.
He brought the river delicacies back, condensed metal basins to hold them, and then went to the forest to find some wild fruits and wild chili peppers for seasoning. He even found a good neighbor - the flower bees.
Flower bees are a sub-order magical beast, just like bees on Earth, they can brew honey.
So Kevin used magic to have a friendly communication with the good neighbors and "borrowed" some honey.
With honey, barbecue will be more flavorful!
Kevin was overjoyed and ready to leave, and the neighbors were still greeting him warmly as he left.
Kevin saw that they were so enthusiastic, so he went back and "borrowed" a bit more honey.
"These should be enough for a few barbecues," Kevin chuckled, "Thank you for the gift of nature."
Flower bees: ......!
Back in the cave, Kevin snapped his fingers, and a flame sprouted from his fingertips, igniting the fire.
This action would definitely look cool for lighting a cigarette!
No need to look for firewood, just summon branches with magic and throw them into the fire.
He made two fires, one for boiling soup and one for barbecue, and Kevin was busy with the hustle and bustle.
As soon as the honey was brushed on, the fragrance filled the air, and Kevin looked intoxicated.
He didn't notice that Catherine, with her beautiful eyes closed, sniffed the air and then secretly swallowed her saliva.
"It should be cooked," Kevin picked up a skewer of grilled shrimp, blew on it a few times, took a bite, and immediately looked satisfied.
"It's so delicious!" He exclaimed, then vigorously ate, almost sparking the iron skewer.
"Gurgle~" Gurgle watched him from the side.
"Here, Gurgle, taste my cooking." Kevin chuckled, handing a skewer of grilled shrimp to Gurgle.
He thought Gurgle would eat the iron skewer along with it, but unexpectedly, Gurgle's soft body actually extended two small hands, held the skewer, and then, imitating Kevin, put the skewer into his body and vigorously ate.
Kevin's eyes widened, and then he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Gurgle can now eat skewers!"
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
Then the two, one big and one small, began to devour the skewers with wild abandon, whether it was grilled shrimp, grilled fish, or grilled mushrooms and wild vegetables, they just kept eating!
After they were full, Kevin fed soup to Catherine as usual.
"When will you wake up?" Kevin looked at Catherine's valiant face and said slowly, "I'm still counting on you to teach me magic."
After feeding Catherine, Kevin continued to practice, and he kept at it until night when a flash of white light appeared on his body.
Promotion, to level three!
...
Level Three!
Kevin opened his eyes and immediately began to replicate and analyze skills.
[Burst Fireball: A third-tier fire magic, condenses into Burst Fireball, used for directional damage.]
[Water Whip: A third-tier water magic, forms water into a whip, used for damage with the swing of the arm.]
[Earth Spike: A third-tier earth magic, summons spikes from the ground, used for fan-shaped damage.]
[...]
From the third tier onwards, there are no power assessments because, according to Bella, the power of the following magic will increase with the amount and quality of mana the user injects. Just like a third-tier mage and a Saint-level mage both casting Burst Fireball, the latter's power would be infinitely greater than the former's. The power depends on the person and cannot be generalized.
The replication duration for third-tier magic remains fifteen minutes, while the analysis time takes two hours.
It seems that the replication duration for magic of the same tier as Kevin is fifteen minutes, and magic of a lower tier can last longer.
Since Kevin needs to analyze more magic skills as soon as possible, the efficiency of replicating and analyzing magic of the same tier is the highest. He doesn't have an obsession with analyzing zero-tier magic.
Starting from the second tier, magic has a certain level of lethality. For example, a large fireball can kill directly if it hits a vital spot. After analyzing [Burst Fireball], Kevin tried it out and found that it could directly blast and burn a tree trunk as thick as a thigh. Hitting an ordinary person directly would definitely be fatal!
Moreover, Kevin's perfect control allows him to cast multiple spells at the same time. As long as his mana reserve is sufficient, he can even cast dozens of Burst Fireballs at once!
Dozens of third-tier magic spells hitting a target would be tough even for a fourth-tier magical beast, so Kevin feels he is capable of fighting monsters and leveling up.
However, to be on the safe side, he spent some time analyzing all the third-tier magic that Catherine knew, then practiced for another night, improving his mana quality and reserve, and completed the skill analysis before preparing to fight monsters and level up the next day.
Early the next morning, Kevin was a bit impatient.
But he still prepared, cooked a pot of soup to feed Catherine, and then set off to fight monsters and level up.
This time, his target was magical beasts below the third tier.
Although his magic power is stronger than that of his peers and he can cast it simultaneously, enough to kill his peers instantly, he has no combat experience at all. Therefore, to be safe, he first looks for low-tier magical beasts to practice with.
