Chapter 72 020: The Tenth
A few days later, Luo Xi and Nicole successfully boarded the Apprentice and returned to the southern coast, officially embarking on the return journey.
More than a month later, it was dusk in the Endless Sea.
In the cabin, Luo Xi had just finished his routine meditation for the day.
"Complete a meditation session, time +3 days."
After his consciousness withdrew from the spiritual sea of knowledge, he calmed himself down, then opened the system panel to take a look at the current mental power attributes.
Mental power: 11.5.
At this time, only about three months had passed since he condensed the eighth rune, and his mental power was 10.3 at that time. In other words, in just three months, he increased his mental power by a full 1.2.
But you have to know that this is all from pure meditation, and I haven't used the system for training yet.
What happened? How did his mental power increase so much all of a sudden? According to his previous training progress, without the help of the system, his mental power would increase by about 0.6 in three months of pure meditation, but now it has suddenly doubled.
The core reason for this abnormal surge in mental strength is...
"Soul-cleansing wine, what on earth is this?"
Yes, what brought about the abnormal growth of Luo Xi's mental strength was nothing else but the mysterious soul-cleansing wine that he drank from old man Joey that night.
After drinking the soul-cleansing wine that day, Luo Xi felt as if a large amount of elemental energy was poured into his body. His body had been digesting and absorbing it. Even if he did nothing during these days, his mental strength would naturally increase.
Of the 1.2 mental power increases in the past three months, I'm afraid 0.8 of them came from this strange drink.
"This kind of thing is too perverted!"
Luo Xi knew that there were rare treasures in this world that could directly improve mental power, but those things generally had strong side effects and various limitations, and the mental power they improved was also very limited.
Take the old magic soup that is treasured by the pure-bloods in the wizard family. This potion is only effective for apprentices and will produce a large amount of elemental impurities in the body after taking it. Even so, the mental strength that can be improved is only about 0.3.
However, this soul-cleansing wine that no one had ever heard of was more than twice as effective as the Old Demon Soup. What was even more surprising was that Luo Xi did not feel any side effects from beginning to end. Instead, he felt a comfortable feeling as if his soul and spirit were being cleansed.
"Is this the legendary adventure I encountered?"
Thinking about it carefully, Luo Xi felt that this was the possibility. The protagonist, who was blessed by God, was traveling alone and met a big boss who was hiding his identity in the game of the mortal world. Because of his simple character or extraordinary talent, he was favored by the big boss and was taken in as a student and trained with great concentration. After a period of seclusion, he was born into the mainland and shocked the world. Isn’t that what is written in various novels, stories, legends and myths? "Is that old man a hermit?"
"But why didn't the old man become my personal grandfather? Is it because I am not lucky enough?"
After thinking about it for a while and having no clue, Luo Xi was too lazy to bother about it. One should not be too greedy. It was enough that someone had used up so much of his mental energy with a pot of wine.
Shaking his head, getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Luo Xi returned his attention to the mental power in front of him.
The mental power required to condense the 10th rune is only 11.2, and Luo Xi's current mental power is more than enough.
The main reason why he was not in a hurry to condense the runes these days was that his mental strength was still growing continuously. Luo Xi was afraid that the unstable energy in his body would affect the condensation of runes.
In the past two days, my meditation has returned to normal levels and my mental strength has stabilized. The elemental energy brought by the soul-cleansing wine should have been completely digested.
"It's almost time to condense the tenth one."
Luo Xi glanced at the recent stockpiling time: 328 days.
“I don’t know if it’s enough.”
Nearly a year had passed, but Luo Xi was still not confident at all. This was because the tenth fusion rune, as the last rune of the apprenticeship period, was the most difficult one. Generally, an apprentice had to refine it over and over again countless times.
There are many apprentices who have been stuck on this rune for several years or even more than ten years. Of course, there are also a very few lucky ones who may succeed in one try. This really requires no skill and is entirely based on luck.
"Let's give it a try for two months."
Thinking in this way, Luo Xi began to condense.
[You begin to condense the rune of will, concentrating and keeping calm. ]
[Sixty-eight days have passed, and after unremitting efforts, you have finally succeeded in condensing the Rune of Will. ]
[Basic Will Rune +1. ]
Luo Xi: “.”
Could it be that I have really been possessed by the goddess of luck recently?
Luo Xi, whose luck attribute has never been very high, never thought that he would succeed in this most difficult rune at once and become one of the very few lucky ones.
"If I were still on Earth, I would definitely buy some lottery tickets."
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Xi calmed down his mind, closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the sea of spiritual awareness.
At this moment, in the vast sea of spiritual consciousness, 10 runes intertwined with each other to form a ring, which looked like the prototype of a magic circle.
With the completion of the last rune, the magic circle seemed to have completed the last piece of a puzzle. As if it had been activated, the 10 runes began to emit a deep blue light.
The light overflowed from the rune and transformed into tentacles that extended towards other runes around it.
Rune fusion!
This is the last step to become a wizard. When all 10 runes of will are meditated out, they will merge with each other. After the fusion forms a basic formation diagram of rules, the apprentice can officially sprint to become a wizard.
After confirming that the fusion had begun, Luo Xi withdrew from his spiritual sea of consciousness.
The fusion of basic will runes occurs naturally. You don’t need to do anything special during this period. Just wait. It usually takes about 2 to 3 months.
"What should we do with the remaining time?"
The rune refining went unexpectedly smoothly, leaving Luo Xi with only 260 days to prepare. It would be uncomfortable not to do anything with so much time.
"Just improve your spell proficiency."
I have been busy improving my strength recently, and I haven't upgraded several high-level apprentice-level spells. Except for the Ice Greatsword which has been upgraded to proficiency, the rest are basically just entry-level and mastery. Now that I have extra time, I can improve it.
[You begin to train the spell "Ice Great Sword", studying and practicing diligently day and night.]
[After 20 days, the proficiency of the spell "Ice Great Sword" increased. ]
At this time, another major advantage of the system is reflected.
You know, it is extremely difficult to improve spell proficiency. There is no shortcut. You can only hone your skills by repeatedly casting spells.
However, a wizard's mental power is limited, and if he can't cast a spell a few times his mental power will be used up.
Because of this, most wizards focus on improving their strength first. Once their strength has been improved and they have sufficient mental power, they will work on improving their spell proficiency.
Not to mention the apprentice stage, even the spell level of ordinary wizards generally only reaches the entry and mastery stages. The proficient and mastery stages are only possible for those pure-blooded people from wizard families.
These wealthy nobles have plenty of potions and materials to restore their mental strength. As long as they are willing to work hard, it is relatively easy to improve the level of their spells.
But no matter how easy it is, it is definitely not as good as Luo Xi. You don't need to train hard again and again, and you don't need to worry about the consumption of mental energy. All you need is a little time. [You start training the spell "Ice Great Sword", study hard day and night.]
[After 30 days, the proficiency of the spell "Ice Great Sword" increased. ]
[Ice Great Sword, proficiency level increased. ]
【Ice Great Sword: Mastery.】
