Chapter 177 Rapid Advance
An indescribable chill swept through Gothe's body along the skin on his body.
At first, it just seemed like there were countless tiny ice threads swimming on the surface of the skin, bringing about waves of coolness.
Immediately afterwards, this feeling slipped into his body along the pores of his skin.
This cold feeling, after it was collected in Gothe's body, rushed straight towards Gothe's mind.
Hum.
There seemed to be a thunderous sound in my mind.
Gothe felt that his Heavenly Spirit Cap had become transparent at this moment.
His thinking also became extremely active at this moment.
Countless thoughts are surging in my mind, but they are not cluttered, and every thought is extremely clear.
Gothe was shocked by the sudden clarity in his mind.
He tried hard to adapt to this feeling.
But new changes have already occurred in the next moment.
Gaode felt that his mental power was now like a barren land. When it encountered the rain from the sky and was nourished, it actually underwent subtle changes and began to slowly improve.
Although he was extremely shocked by this change, he knew that now was not the time to be shocked.
This opportunity cannot be missed, and the time will never come again.
Gothe decisively began to use the apprentice meditation technique, and began to try to embody the illusory lotus that emerged from meditation deep in his consciousness.
The lotus flower with a total of sixteen petals was soon embodied by Gaode into eleven petals.
This is his current meditation practice progress.
In the past, Gothe's mental strength was close to its limit by this point.
But today, he clearly still has some energy left.
Gothe took a deep breath, and with the help of the strange power brought by the "water of the deep sea of the soul", he completely focused on the lotus.
He drives the nourished spiritual power to manifest the five petals that have not yet been formed.
At first, they were like flowers in the mist or the moon in the water, vague and elusive.
But under the influence of Gothe's spiritual power, the illusory outline gradually became clear.
Gothe was completely immersed in it, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead unconsciously, but he didn't notice it at all.
The twelfth petal slowly condensed into a real shape.
Then the thirteenth petal slowly bloomed.
Then the fourteenth piece, and finally the fifteenth piece.
It was also at this time that the cool feeling brought by the "water of the deep sea of the soul" completely dissipated.
The feeling of transparency has also disappeared.
The rain from the sky stopped.
In the bathtub, Gaode, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
His heart was filled with unspeakable joy and shock.
Fifteen petals!
Gothe never thought that he would break through four levels of apprentice meditation in one day, directly pushing him to the point where he was only one step away from perfection.
Slowly exhaling the turbid air in his chest, Gao De stood up in high spirits and let the water drop down from his body.
The originally dark blue liquid has turned into the original color of clear water at this moment.
Obviously, some of the strange substances contained in it have been absorbed and consumed by Gothe.
For 99% of mage apprentices in the world, the progress of the guidance method is much faster than that of meditation.
But now Gaode, it’s the other way around.
The guidance method has only reached 14 levels of magic, and there are still six small levels to break through before reaching perfection.
However, his meditation technique is just short of the last step, and he has left the guidance method behind.
"Next, we just need to try our best to promote the progress of the guidance method. Before the apprentice's guidance method is completed, the meditation technique will not be perfect." Gao De said secretly.
With this first prize, his time to be promoted to a first-level mage has been pushed forward by at least one year.
"Perhaps, we can really reach the level of third-level mage apprentice this year and try to be promoted to first-level mage." He made a rough estimate of his current cultivation progress in his mind and came to a conclusion.
Happiness in my heart suddenly reached a new level.
Green Leaf Moon, 2nd.
Library.
After seven months, Gaode visited the second floor again.
The great breakthrough in meditation has greatly advanced the time for Gaode to be promoted to a first-level mage.
This is of course a good thing, but at the same time, Gothe has not yet been very eager to expand the spell library, but it will be put on the agenda.
He currently masters a large number of spells.
But there is still a big gap between what he expected.
In the hall on the second floor, there is still the old mage.
"Buy the spell formula." Gaode handed over his identity plate with ease.
"It's you again?" Obviously, seven months have not made the old mage forget Gothe. He was surprised: "Have you mastered all the seven spell formulas purchased last time?"
Even in the academy, there are very few mage apprentices who come here to buy 7 spell formulas at once, so the old mage is very impressed by Gaode.
"Absolutely." Gaode replied euphemistically.
The old mage glanced at Gothe in surprise, "You are quite talented in spells."
Gothe smiled shyly.
In the old mage's opinion, it took him seven months to master seven tricks.
Although Gaode actually spent much less time than this, it is certainly impossible for Gaode to disclose the actual situation.
Seven months is just right.
It can appropriately demonstrate one's talent in magic without being too exaggerated.
"With 24 credits, the spells you can buy are still the same as last time. You have to have more than 30 credits before more spell recipes will be opened to you."
The old mage took Gaode's identity plate and said this after verifying it on the alchemy machine.
Fortunately, in order to compete with Youlan for first place in freshman credits, I took a few more courses, Gaode said secretly.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if you want to reach 30 points of credits, you have to wait until the third year.
In any case, before the end of the first school year, his credits will definitely exceed 30 points.
"As for the spells from last time, I want the spell formulas for the four tricks: [Primal Brutal Strike], [Dancing Lights], [Sparks], and [Fire]."
These are the four fish that slipped through the net last time due to financial difficulties. This time Gaode directly caught them all.
The old mage nodded. After learning about Gothe's talent in magic, he no longer talked as much as last time.
He stood up and took out the four spell formulas required by Gothe from the library at the back and handed them to Gothe.
Spell recipe +4.
Gold coins -24.
However, after the 100 gold that Master Lal "paid" for the purchase of spiritual water last time, even after this large expenditure, Gaode's savings still amounted to 116 gold and 8 silver.
Leaving contentedly from the second floor of the library, Gothe returned to the dormitory and opened the four newly obtained spell formulas.
【Dancing Lights】(Evocation, level 0):
Create four torch-sized light sources within the casting range (120 feet).
During the duration of the spell, the light source can appear in the form of a torch, lantern, or ball of light and float in the air.
It is also possible to combine four light sources into a blurry shadow of a medium-sized humanoid.
No matter which method is chosen, each light source emits dim light in a radius of 10 feet.
You can cause these light sources to move up to 60 feet within the casting range.
Each light source must be within 20 feet of another light source, and any light source that leaves the casting range will be extinguished immediately.
【Original Brutal Strike】(Change system, 0 levels):
Make your own teeth or nails long and sharp, thus preparing for an acidic blow.
Make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes acid damage.
After you make this attack, your teeth or nails return to normal.
【Sparks】(Energy Department, Level 0):
Can set an unheld combustible object on fire.
This spell works as if you were using flint or iron, except that it takes less time to ignite an object in any weather.
【Fire Spell】(conjuration system, level 0):
A flickering flame appears in your hand.
The fire lasts for the duration of the spell (10 minutes) and does no harm to you or your equipment.
The flame provides bright light within a 10-foot radius around it, and dim light for 10 feet beyond.
You can use fire to attack and terminate the spell.
When casting this spell, you can throw fire at a creature within 30 feet of you and launch a ranged spell attack on it. The target will take fire damage when it hits.
