Chapter 140: Wizard
Manor, meditation room.
Time passed bit by bit. The ‘automatic burning candle’ on the ground was burning continuously. One was burnt out, followed by the second, third…
When the sixth candle was burning halfway.
Zi zi…
Suddenly, the flame at the top of the candle started to flicker for no reason, as if there was a flowing wind in this completely sealed room.
The flame kept jumping and soon turned into a violent tremble. At the same time, a violent air current appeared in the room.
It was formed by elemental particles visible to the naked eye. Like a hurricane, it spun rapidly in the room, as if it had set off an elemental storm.
In the middle of the elemental storm was Heath, who was sitting upright. His cloak was fluttering in the wind.
The storm grew more intense and quickly turned into a tornado. It quickly rushed into Heath’s body.
It was as if that place was the vent of the elemental vortex. It had a strong attraction and quickly absorbed the element into it.
In a moment, the violent elemental tornado was completely absorbed. The elemental storm came to an abrupt end.
It was also at this moment that Heath slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, his eyes lit up with a ray of light. It was the light that the elements shone. It was as bright as the stars, and it did not belong to any natural creature that could produce such a bright light. It only belonged to —
Transcendence!
“Hu!” Heath let out a light sigh and slowly stood up.
In a breath, a movement, even if it was just a simple stand, there were faint elemental light spots surrounding, lighting up, and dancing around him, just like fireflies circling in the forest on a summer night.
It seemed to have completely fused with the elements.
“Such active elemental energy…” Heath looked at the elements winding around and dancing around him and clicked his tongue in wonder.
This was the embodiment of the materialization of the elements. It would only occur when the elemental energy was too exuberant and dense, and whenever such a phenomenon occurred, it meant that the elemental energy here was abnormally surging.
This was the human world where the elements were thin, but a scene that was rarely seen even in the elemental zone had appeared. Then the origin of these elements was self-evident.
“Such surging energy…” Heath looked at his palm.
He couldn’t describe what it felt like. He only felt that his entire body was filled with power. Every part of his skin, every cell, and even every spiritual sea.
He gently retracted his palm and slightly clenched it. It was as if he could grasp this world!
“Is this… a Wizard?”
Even though he had been looking forward to it for a long time before advancing and had fantasized about the power of all kinds of Wizards, the unprecedented feeling of power and the absolute feeling of destiny in his hands after truly advancing was still beyond Heath’s expectations.
At this moment, he really felt like a god!
“Hu hu… Hu hu…” The sound of panting echoed in the room.
Heath stood in the same spot with his eyes closed, feeling the newly acquired power, feeling the flowing elements, and feeling everything in the world.
In an instant, he felt that he had a different understanding of elements, magic, and spiritual power, which he had never had before when he was an Apprentice.
This was a natural reaction that every Apprentice had when they advanced to become a Wizard.
An Apprentice was like a fish under the water. After becoming a Wizard, they would jump out of the water. From there, they would be able to see and feel some deeper things in this world, and gradually understand the true laws and rules of this world…
After a long time, Heath opened his eyes again.
There was a hint of understanding in his eyes. “So that’s it… This is the trace of the flow of magic power… The order of the elements is like this… The rhythm of the elements is too magical…”
These understandings were something he had never had when he was an Apprentice. Previously, he could not understand some obscure knowledge, but now he could understand it at a glance.
At this moment, the system’s notification suddenly sounded.
[Beep, detected that the host has successfully extracted the Power of Law. The system can be further upgraded. Do you want to check the details of the upgrade?]
Heath was stunned.
Although he felt that the system’s extraction had slight changes and improvements over the past few years as his strength increased, this was the first time such a clear upgrade notification had happened.
He hurriedly said, “Check.”
[Beep, the system will have the following functions after upgrading:]
[1. Deep extraction: Able to carry out deeper extraction of extraordinary substances and obtain more value, including but not limited to attributes, knowledge, energy, and so on.]
[2. Spatial extraction: Other than specific substances, normal substances can be extracted within a certain range without physical contact.]
Hearing the system’s introduction, Heath’s eyes could not help but light up.
The first function needed to be used on the spot to know how effective it was, but the second function was too helpful. Whether it was efficiency, concealment, or other aspects, it had a huge increase.
But at this moment, he heard the system say:
[This upgrade will take more than ten years. Host, please complete the preparations before proceeding with the upgrade.]
Ten years!
Heath frowned. This was too long!
One day and two days were enough, but ten years of upgrade time needed careful consideration. After all, the system’s functions could still meet his daily needs, and the upgrade performance was not that urgent…
“Forget it, let’s think about it later!”
After thinking for a while, Heath decided to put this problem to the back of his mind.
Then, he quickly shook off the excitement of advancing to a Wizard and regained his usual calmness.
Only those who were not proud would be proud!
The path of a Wizard was a long and arduous one. Wizard was only the beginning of this field. There were still Rank 2 intermediate Wizard, Rank 3 advanced Wizard, Rank 4 stigmata Wizard, and even the legendary eternal Rank 5…
In short, there was still a long way to go on the path of revolution. It was still far from the time to raise a cup and celebrate.
“What should I do next?”
He had just advanced, especially when he had advanced across levels. At the moment, the elements and magic power in Heath’s body were still very impetuous, so it was not suitable for him to train for the time being.
“Let’s improve my spells.”
After thinking for a while, Heath decided to update his spells first. Right now, other than the [innate spell] that he had when he advanced, the rest of his spells were only at the Apprentice level.
After advancing to a Wizard, the spells he learned during his previous Apprenticeship were no longer applicable. It was not that he could not use them, but using a Wizard’s huge amount of spiritual power to use an Apprentice’s spells was a little too much.
After all, he had just taken a look and his spiritual power had already reached an extremely terrifying number…
Spiritual Power: 108.
Before advancing, his spiritual power index had barely exceeded 10 points, and in the blink of an eye, it had already exceeded 100 points. This showed how terrifying Wizards were.
With his current huge amount of spiritual power, using Apprentice spells was undoubtedly a waste of talent. Spells naturally had to adapt to the development of the times to carry out innovations. After all, spells were the key factor in determining a Wizard’s strength.
‘First, I’ll upgrade the Half-Life Soul body. This condition is the most adequate. Then, the Hellfire Sea… This is also easier… Lightning Strike can also be…’ Heath calculated silently in his heart.
To be busy increasing the strength of spells right after advancing, this was something that other Wizards absolutely did not dare to think about.
After all, most Wizards relied on other Wizards’ spell systems to improve their abilities. In other words, they had to first have the ability and then replenish their knowledge. Their grasp of knowledge was not reliable. Without knowledge, without their own system… Naturally, they could not get their hands on it.
Many Wizards would only slowly replenish their knowledge and improve their own system in the middle and late stages before finally completing the improvement of their spells.
But Heath was different.
His own knowledge structure was abnormally abundant, and the advancement to become a Wizard was also completed by his own system. It was naturally easy for him to improve the spells he mastered.
Then, Heath sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes to calm his mind, and put his mind into the improvement of spells. Soon, he entered his spiritual sea.
While Heath was still upgrading his spells, a group of uninvited guests quietly arrived at the manor in the dense forest…
…
The manor, the sub-building.
At the entrance of the corridor of the sub-building, two Apprentice Knights who were responsible for keeping watch were resting on the left and right side of the entrance.
Suddenly, one of the Apprentice Knights seemed to sense something and opened his eyes abruptly.
Like a well-trained police dog, he quickly looked in the direction of the manor’s gate and pushed his companion. “Hal, wake up!”
The Apprentice Knight rubbed his eyes and asked, “What… What’s wrong?”
The first Apprentice Knight immediately said, “Listen, what’s that sound? Listen carefully.”
The Apprentice Knight named Hal was stunned.
He immediately pricked up his ears to listen carefully for a while and said with some uncertainty, “Is it… the sound of horses’ hooves? Is it the sound of horses’ hooves?”
Moreover… the direction seemed to be coming towards them!
Hal woke up from his drowsiness and suddenly stood up. “A team is coming!”
The first Apprentice Knight said, “I’ll go and take a look!”
After saying that, he ran toward the tower on the side of the manor. With his sharp skills, he quickly climbed up the ladder outside the tower to the top of the tower.
He stood at the top of the tower and looked into the depths of the forest. When he looked, his face instantly turned pale.
He saw that in the depths of the forest, there was a light of fire. It was the light of torches.
However, the number of torches was incredible. There were hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of them. They were densely packed together like a burning sea of fire.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the light of the fire was like rain. Even in the darkness of the night, it was as if one could see the rolling thick smoke.
It was unstoppable!
The Apprentice Knight panicked. He hurriedly shouted at the Apprentice Knight under the tower, “Hal, quick, quickly go and wake Spencer up. Wake everyone up. Quickly!”
“Let everyone, let everyone go. Let Spencer lead everyone away! Let’s go!”
