A week passed!
This day,
"Finally done!"
Li William sat cross-legged in the room, feeling the energy continuously pouring into his body, and a slight excitement appeared on his face.
Then,
He looked at the system panel.
A new skill appeared that hadn't been there before:
Source of Magic (LV3-999/1000)
Introduction: When actively practicing, you can continuously release the magic within you, leaving your magical reserves depleted. This allows the magic factor to absorb and convert the ambient magical energy, training the magic factor to increase the speed of absorption and conversion!
This skill was the result of a week of research by Li William after achieving Level 4 in Magic. Essentially, frequent use of magic increases the efficiency of the magic factor.
According to his Level 4 Magic knowledge, the increased speed of magic factor absorption when magic is frequently used is because the magic factor must absorb and convert ambient magical energy to replenish the depleted reserves.
This will have a long-term benefit, gradually improving the efficiency of magic factor absorption!
Simply put, this is like physical exercise. Without exercise, a person's running speed will plateau.
But with regular training, their speed will continue to improve.
The Source of Magic is a skill that continuously expels magic from the body, creating a deficit that trains the magic factor to enhance its absorption efficiency.
With this skill, Li William could now clearly perceive the energy absorption process in his body—an ability he couldn't feel before.
And since the Source of Magic was created by Li William, once it manifested, the proficiency immediately reached the near-maximum for this skill level.
"But... it's still not enough!" Li William thought secretly.
The Source of Magic trains the magic factor and enhances its absorption and conversion efficiency, thereby boosting magical prowess.
However,
No matter how much one trains, there are limits. No amount of training can enable an ordinary person to break through certain physical barriers.
The same applies to magic factors!
So,
After reaching a training limit, the absorption efficiency might only increase from one to two, doubling the original rate.
But,
Can two Dumbledores defeat one Professor X?
The answer is clear!
Unless Professor X is careless, once he unleashes his immense mental power, the Dumbledores wouldn't even get close before being overwhelmed.
Therefore,
He needs more power!
Contemplating this, Li William checked his internal farming value.
6521!
In these seven days, averaging over 700 daily, plus the original remainder of more than 1,000, it totaled over 6,500.
Enough to add two levels!
Without hesitation, he upgraded the Source of Magic.
The next second,
Hint: Please choose one of the following paths for your breakthrough!
Source of Magic → Mimic Magic Factor
Introduction: Use magic to create a mimic magic factor with the capability of a natural magic factor, thus doubling the efficiency of magic absorption (limited to two mimic magic factors).
Source of Magic → Magic Enhancement
Introduction: Enhances the quality of magic. When using the same amount of magic, stronger magic quality will overpower weaker ones!
Source of Magic → Trace the Roots
Introduction: Magic originates from magic factors, which derive from magical creatures. Choosing this path awakens the blood of the magical creature linked to your magic factor, greatly boosting your magic and allowing transformation into that creature, but at the cost of some sanity!
Li William dismissed the last option immediately.
It sounded appealing—increasing magic and gaining transformative abilities.
However, the side effects were significant.
Loss of sanity was a high price, and unnecessary for Li William given his system's capabilities.
Even if a stronger skill came with drawbacks, he could always enhance weaker skills.
After some thought, Li William chose the first option.
The second option had its merits—using the same amount of magic power could decisively crush an opponent.
But since he could endlessly strengthen his magic, which was always superior to others', the second option seemed redundant.
Thus, he selected the first!
The next second,
The skill evolved!
Source of Magic: Mimic Magic (LV4-0/2000)
But it wasn't over yet!
After checking his remaining internal value, Li William swiftly upgraded two levels.
The upgrades consumed just over 6,000 points.
And two levels cost exactly that amount.
Source of Magic: Mimic Magic (LV6-0/10000)
Introduction: Use magical power to create up to eight mimic magic factors, each doubling the efficiency of your magic absorption based on the original efficiency, resulting in an eightfold increase.
At Level four, it's twice; at five, four times; and at six, eight times.
Since it's based on the original efficiency, the real increase is sixteenfold.
Thus, a year for Li William now equates to sixteen years for an ordinary wizard.
Based on his current age, his magical power will surpass Dumbledore's by the time he starts school!
Of course, this is based on the current efficiency. Future enhancements will only make it more formidable.
Pondering this,
Li William sat down cross-legged without hesitation and began to practice.
"Use magical power to create mimic magic factors."
He murmured, channeling the magical power in his body to form a mimic magic factor similar to his body's natural magic factor.
Before long,
The mimic magic factor was formed!
At this moment, he distinctly felt the energy from the air pouring into his body faster and being converted more rapidly.
But the process wasn't complete yet!
As the first mimic magic factor was constructed, the second, third, and fourth quickly followed.
The skills provided by the system encompass principles, research processes, and more, as if he had researched them himself.
Thus, he quickly constructed the mimic magic factors.
In just half an hour,
The eighth mimic magic factor was also constructed!
And now,
The energy around him surged like a relentless river, flowing into his body madly and being transformed into magical power.
At the same time,
At the summit of the remote Himalayas.
A robed figure turned westward as if sensing something, and murmured with interest, "It seems that unexpected factors are arising!"
