Rise of the Dark Witch

"For my third witchcraft, I choose the time-based Jenga of Time." Roja said to Celia.

"Time and Space Sorcery Time Jenga... Wizard Roja, are you sure?" Celia confirmed.

"OK!" Roja nodded without hesitation.

"Jenga of Time is one of the most difficult among many time-based witchcrafts. If you want to learn Jenga of Time, your time-based talent must reach at least level five. Do you need to measure your time-based talent?" Celia's words surprised Roja.

"Testing talent?" Roja was stunned.

"You can barely learn other types of witchcraft if you don't have enough talent, but the power is just not satisfactory. But the witchcraft of the time and space system and the destiny system are different. If you don't have the talent, you really can't learn it, and you can't even get started." Saili Ya explained.

"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that I shouldn't wait until I hand over the magic crystal before taking the talent test?"

There is actually a talent test?

What really surprised Roja was that before he had submitted the tuition fee, the other party actually offered to let him test his talent?

"When wizards learn more difficult witchcraft, we will take the initiative to make suggestions. Because our cultivation of wizards in Ten Thousand Demons Cave is to hope that they can become strong men beyond the fourth level, rather than coveting the magic crystals in their hands. ." Celia explained.

"...I am superficial." Roja apologized seriously.

The Ten Thousand Demons Cave conducts wizard trials for them, gives them a lot of resources, and helps them continue to advance on the road of wizards. Is it because they are coveting the magic crystals in the hands of first- and second-level wizards?

The purpose of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave is to cultivate wizards who are more than the fourth level of true gods!

The things in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave seem to be very expensive, but in fact they are just screening out those wizards who have no hope of transcending the fourth level and reaching the realm of true gods.

And is it really expensive?

Learn witchcraft with the personal guidance of a level 4 witchcraft instructor, and the price is definitely very affordable!

"Hurry up and help me test my time talent."

Under Roya's nervous anticipation, Celia took out a talent test crystal ball.

Roja followed Celia's instructions and placed his hands on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball lit up with light.

When the crystal ball's light was at its peak, it slowly dimmed again.

Looking at the crystal ball that had returned to its original state, Roja asked nervously: "How was it?"

Celia put away the crystal ball and replied: "Level 6 time talent meets the requirements for learning Jenga of Time."

"What's the full level?" Roja asked curiously.

"The full level is level ten."

"How big of a difference is there between each level?"

"Time itself produces an entity formed by the condensed consciousness. The time system talent is the highest level ten. A strong person who reaches the ninth level in the time field is level nine. The innate eighth level demon god who is naturally proficient in time system ability has a talent of Level eight. A true god-level being who is born with the ability to master time is level seven. The pinnacle of a non-god life is level six."

When Roja first heard that he was only at level six, he was a little dissatisfied.

The full level is ten, why is he only at level six?

However, after he listened to Celia's explanation, he was shocked to realize that his time talent was at level six?

His time talent actually stands at the pinnacle of non-god life?

Roja knew that his life system talent was very powerful, and he knew that his spiritual system talent was very powerful, but he didn't expect that his time system talent was so powerful?

"Am I a genius?" Roya suddenly became interested, "Can you help me test my other talents?"

Roja tested all the common talents in one breath.

Elemental talent, level one.

Spiritual talent, level one.

Life talent, level five.

Time talent, level six.

Space talent, level six.

"puff--"

Looking at the test results, Luo Ya was almost bleeding!

Why is his time and space talent so high?

Standing at the pinnacle of non-god life?

What he couldn't accept the most was——

He always thought that his spiritual talent was very powerful, crushing many so-called spiritual genius wizards. Why was he only at the first level?

Level one is the level of ordinary people.

Level two is the level that qualifies you to become a wizard.

Level three is the level of a genius spiritual wizard.

The fourth level is a spiritual extraordinary life. For example, a nightmare from hell, a being with more than 50,000 units of mental power in the apprenticeship realm, is a fourth level.

Roja thinks his spiritual talent is at least level three, right?

It’s not surprising that it’s Level 5, Level 6, or even Level 7, but it turned out to be an ordinary Level 1?

Too weird?

"My mental talent is average? Is there something wrong with the talent test crystal ball?"

"You must know that my mental power is..."

"Is it because of the proof of two souls?"

"My current spiritual power is brought about by the proof of two souls and the use of many precious magic potions. Relying on my own talent and hard work, my mental power will never reach the current level in my lifetime."

"My life talent should only have two levels. The reason why there are five levels is because I used the Tree of Life to cast the Holy Foundation. Later, I obtained the bloodline of the World Sea Overlord Flower and performed bloodline fusion. That's why I have It’s as high as level five.”

It makes sense that the mental talent is so low and the life talent is so high.

The issue is--

"My time and space talent is actually level six?"

"what happened?"

Roja frowned and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands, showing a look of understanding.

"My other talents are so low, so it doesn't matter if my time and space talent is higher, right?"

“You can’t know everything, you have to be good at something.”

"Elemental talent, spiritual talent, life talent... I have low talents in many talents. My talent in time and space is higher, so it is normal to have a consolation prize."

"This is what is called 'Every time God closes a door, he opens a window,' right?"

"Hmm, yes, that must be the case."

Although Roja has been comforting himself, how can a person be ordinary in everything and not be good at anything?

In fact, Roja knew the real reason.

Roja speculated that the reason why his time and space talent was so high was because he came from other worlds and was affected by time and space during the journey.

in other words--

"Both the certificate of two souls and the talent of time and space were obtained due to previous lives."

"If I hadn't awakened my past life memories, and if I were a native of the wizarding world, then my talent would be simply rubbish!"

Roja knew that his starting talent was very ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Except for the two soul certificates and time and space talents brought by time travel, other aspects are basically the level of passers-by that can be seen everywhere.

But the wizarding world is a world full of miracles.

No matter how low the talent is, there are ways to make up for it, it just depends on whether he is willing and whether he wants to pay the price.

For example, his grandson Jono has the same talent as him. Through his efforts, he has become a super genius who is not much weaker than the Son of the Abyss and the pure-blooded dragon, and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the forbidden blood clan who perfectly control the bloodline.

Now that the third witchcraft has been chosen, Jenga of Time, and his talent is enough to support him in learning this witchcraft, what needs to be done next is already obvious.

"I want to learn the witchcraft Jenga of Time!"

After watching 500 top-quality magic crystals being deducted from his account, Roja continued to ask: "How many magic crystals are needed to learn the advanced course of Jenga of Time?"

There are advanced courses for Return to Origin Metamorphosis, and there are advanced courses for Bronze God's Throne, so there must be advanced courses for Jenga of Time, right?

"As a complete second-level witchcraft, Jenga of Time has no room for advancement, so there is no advanced course."

Looking at Roja who was confused, Celia explained:

"Considering that learning the complete second-level witchcraft is too difficult and there are too few people who can learn it, we at Ten Thousand Demons Cave will divide the second-level witchcraft into two courses for teaching."

"You only learn the first course and you get only level one witchcraft."

"Only when you have completed both courses can you truly complete learning a second-level witchcraft."

"Due to various reasons, many time and space witchcraft cannot be split into two courses, so most of the time and space witchcraft are complete second-level witchcraft."

Listening to Celia's easy-to-understand explanation, Roja immediately understood.

The Ten Thousand Demons Cave has really made a lot of efforts in unknown places to let the dark wizards they cultivate learn witchcraft!

Recalling every bit of his time in Ten Thousand Demons Cave, he had to sigh - "Ten Thousand Demons Cave is really a good school. It would be even more perfect if there were teachers to guide me."

The training of wizards in Ten Thousand Demons Cave has always been in a free-range state.

If you want to get specialized guidance from a teacher in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, you must become a second-level wizard, participate in the trial, and become a student of a fourth-level wizard.

It's too difficult.

The gap between wizard apprentice and second-level wizard is too long.

Perhaps in the view of Ten Thousand Demons Cave, students who have reached the second level by virtue of their own strength and passed the assessment to become a fourth level witchcraft instructor are not worth training at all?

After all, in the eyes of the upper echelons of Ten Thousand Demons Cave, fourth-level wizards are barely qualified cannon fodder, and cultivating a true god above level five is their goal.

A wizard who couldn't even reach the fourth level was not qualified to let them spend time and give special guidance.

…

In front of Roja.

There stood a mysterious man who seemed to have no entity, his whole body shrouded in black mist, his face wearing a clock mask, his gender and appearance unknown.

The witchcraft instructor of Jenga of Time—Shi Ke!

Tick ​​tick tick.

The hands of the clock on Teacher Shi Ke's face were jumping and turning.

"let us start."

It was like a mechanically synthesized sound coming from under the clock mask of Master Shi Ke, "The power of time is one of the most mysterious and ancient forces in the world."

"It has always been around us, and it has always affected us, but there are so few people who can perceive it."

"If you can't even perceive the existence of the element of time, it's impossible to learn time witchcraft."

"For hundreds of millions of years, countless wizards have been studying the element of time one after another, and have created many time-related techniques."

"With the help of these techniques, people can help people perceive and manipulate the elements of time, thereby learning time witchcraft."

"But for people who don't have the gift of time, no matter how much time they spend practicing, it's meaningless, just like human eyes can only see visible light, but ears can't hear ultrasonic and infrasound waves."

"There are very few people with the talent of time. Even the lowest level of first-level talent only takes one out of ten billion people."

"Theoretically, as long as you have time talent, you can learn time witchcraft, and Jenga of Time is no exception."

"But different talents need different time to learn Jenga."

"If you have a first-level talent, you won't be able to learn it even if it takes 100 million years. It's like a farmer who earns one gold coin a year can't make as much money as a king after working for 100 million years."

"If your talent is too low, forcibly learning the too difficult Jenga of Time will only waste time and resources."

Instructor Shi Ke's emotionless mechanical voice echoed in the study room, while Luo Ya listened quietly.

"Teacher, how long will it take for me to learn the Jenga of Time?" Luo Ya raised his hand and asked when Teacher Ke paused in speaking.

"To get started with Jenga of Time, it will take about three hundred years for a fifth-level talent, and about twenty years for a sixth-level talent." Instructor Shi Ke replied.

hiss--

Roja took a deep breath.

He knew that learning time and space witchcraft was very difficult.

But it takes three hundred years for a fifth-level talent?

Does it take twenty years to even achieve level six talent?

The three hundred years and twenty years that Teacher Shi Ke refers to do not refer to one class per day, but uninterrupted learning 24 hours a day!

If you study only twelve hours a day, your total study time will double.

"I have a level six talent!"

"Even with such a high talent, it takes me such a long time to learn a single time witchcraft. How did the one named Sophie under Zochi do it?"

"How did she learn the magic of time and space at the same time at such a young age?"

"Is her talent for time and space stronger than mine? But I'm already at the sixth level of a mortal?"

Luo Ya raised his doubts to Teacher Shi Ke, "Teacher, I have a friend who is younger than me and less talented than me, but he is able to master both time and space witchcraft without falling behind in cultivation. How is this possible? The same thing?"

"If nothing else, it is with the help of the time and space perception amplification witchcraft." Instructor Shi Ke explained.

"Time and space perception amplification witchcraft?" Luo Ya suddenly became interested.

Instructor Shi Ke explained:

"The elements of time and space are essentially no different from the elements of water, fire, and earth. The reason why it is so difficult to use is simply because they cannot be sensed."

"In places with lots of water, it will be easier and more powerful to release water witchcraft."

"Standing on the earth, the power of earth witchcraft released with the help of the power of the earth can sometimes be doubled dozens of times."

"So in places with strong time and space elements, it will be easier and more powerful to release time and space witchcraft."

"Do you know where the elements of time and space are more intense?"

Roja shook his head, how could he know?

"Fish live in the sea. Where in the sea do you think it will be easier to release water witchcraft? Will it be more powerful?"

"Earthworms live deep in the soil. What do earthworms need to do if they want to use the power of the earth?"

"do you understand?"

"We are like fish in the water and earthworms in the soil. We have always lived in the ocean of time and space. There are inexhaustible elements of time and space around us."

"Other elemental witchcraft requires the help of environmental and geographical advantages. There is no such thing as a favorable location for time and space witchcraft."

"How many elements of time and space you can perceive, how many elements of time you are qualified to control."

"So for wizards of the time and space system, the strength and range of perception of time and space elements are extremely important."

"No matter how talented a person is, there is always a limit."

"With the help of the space-time perception amplification witchcraft, the wizard's ability to perceive time and space elements can be increased by dozens or hundreds of times, which is equivalent to an ordinary wizard's magic power being increased by dozens or hundreds of times."

"With a magic power gap of dozens or hundreds of times, the ordinary magic skills you use may be no less powerful than the witchcraft mastered by others."

"So the answer is..." Instructor Shi Ke concluded: "Your friend doesn't know much about time and space witchcraft at all. Many of the abilities related to time and space she uses seem to be witchcraft, but in fact they are just using time and space perception to increase witchcraft. It’s just the magic skill released by the weapon.”

After Teacher Shi Ke’s explanation, Luo Ya suddenly realized.

In the eyes of time and space wizards, this knowledge should only be basic knowledge.

However, because there are too few time and space wizards, and there is too little information about time and space witchcraft, etc., there are very few people who know this knowledge.

Basic knowledge in the eyes of time and space wizards is something that even the most knowledgeable scholar among the first-level wizards, Roya, doesn't know.

"Can you explain to me the basic knowledge about time and space witchcraft?" Roja asked.

"Okay." Instructor Shi Ke spoke directly without hesitation.

As a result, the two of them temporarily put aside the study of Time Jenga and began to learn basic knowledge related to the space-time system.

Simply learning Jenga is like taking a driver's license test.

After taking the driver's license test, you can drive, but you don't know anything about cars. You may not even know that a car needs fuel to drive.

Luo Ya had seen similar news in his previous life - "A woman bought a new car and soon found that the car would not move. She suspected that the car was broken down, but later she found out that there was no gasoline."

You’ve paid for the car, but you still need to pay for gas?

Roja doesn't want to be that kind of person.

After learning to drive, you still need to have a certain basic understanding of the car. No matter how deep the understanding is, at least you must know how to refuel the car and where the refueling port is.

but--

Luo Ya sighed inwardly while listening to instructor Shi Ke's class.

"The mentors in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave are really easy to talk to."

"Obviously he is just the witchcraft instructor of Jenga of Time, but I won't refuse if I ask him to teach me knowledge that has nothing to do with Jenga of Time."

"With such an easy-to-talk teacher, it's hard to imagine that the other person would be a peak level four wizard."

…

After a month of basic courses on time and space knowledge.

Instructor Shi Ke handed Luo Ya a stone called the Time Carving Stone, "This is a prop to assist in practicing "Sense of Time" and has an excellent effect on developing time perception."

The first level of practicing time witchcraft - perceiving the element of time!

The "Sense of Time" exercise, as the name suggests, is used to develop the ability to perceive time.

The perception of time elements is related to the amount of time elements that can be controlled.

The element of time belongs to the type that sees it, and it can be used as much as it can be seen. The more powerful the perception is, the more time elements can be controlled, and the more powerful the time magic is released.

"Is the time-engraved stone available in unlimited quantities?"

"Only ten."

After Roja carefully inquired about how to use the time carving stone, he began to practice "Sense of Time".

Luo Ya sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and placed the time stone in front of him.

In silence, time passed by.

The time stone slowly rose and floated in front of Roja's forehead.

With the help of the Time Carving Stone, he felt that a solid "shell" deep in his consciousness was slowly cracking.

Invisible tentacles stretch out from the depths of the "shell", exploring an unknown world that has never been reached, and touching unknown elements that have always been around but have never been touched.

The degree of time sense development is one percent!

He felt some strange power that he could not usually notice. This strange power was as elusive as the ever-changing waves.

"Is this the element of time?"

Roja continued to practice.

His perception of the element of time deepens.

The thick fog shrouding the time element gradually dissipated, and the true appearance of the time element completely appeared in Roja's perception.

Suddenly, Roja felt dizzy, as if he was drunk. He realized that the world in his perception had suddenly changed.

Spin!

distortion!

broken!

What was once a complete and real world has become fragmented, as if the twisted glass is cracking.

At this moment, Roja even doubted whether the world they were in was real.

After all, the world perceived under the influence of time sense is really very different from the usual world!

"I thought the time element was something like an elf, but I didn't expect it to be similar to an electromagnetic field?"

"To be precise, it's about the same as gravity?"

Although surprised, Roja did not affect his practice.

Snapped!

The first time stone shattered.

"Can a time-engraved stone only last half a month?"

"Ten time-engraved stones can only be used for five months."

"It's time to try the Two Souls Certificate."

The Certificate of Two Souls can greatly amplify one's own perception, but the improvement of perception by the Certificate of Two Souls is limited.

Things that can be perceived originally can be amplified hundreds of thousands of times.

Things that were barely perceived can break through the thin barrier and be perceived successfully.

As for things that are extremely different, they cannot be successfully perceived even with the help of the evidence of two souls.

A typical example is the power of faith.

He has clearly activated and charged the Six Magic Stones with the help of the power of faith, but even with the power of the Two Souls Proof, he still cannot sense the power of faith.

This is because he is too far away from the realm where he can sense the power of faith, and even using the evidence of two souls is still useless.

The same goes for the time element.

In the past, even though he had the proof of two souls, he still couldn't see the element of time.

But now he's getting started.

He already has the ability to sense the elements of time and space.

If he activates the Dual Soul Certification at this time, his perception of the elements of time and space will definitely be greatly enhanced.

"Proof of Two Souls!"

really!

Roya smiled happily.

With the proof of two souls, he is equivalent to carrying a time element perception amplifying witchcraft with him, which can easily enhance the time element perception ability by dozens or hundreds of times.

You must know that the time element is a thing that belongs to the one who sees it, and can use as much as he can perceive.

If Roja's perception of the time element was equivalent to one hundred units before, then with the help of the dual soul certificate, the time element he could perceive directly exceeded 10,000 units.

Same time witchcraft.

Use one hundred units of time element to release, and use 10,000 units of time element to release, the power will rise from heaven to earth!

In other words, as long as he activates the dual soul certificate, the power of the time witchcraft he uses can be strengthened dramatically!

"Not good!"

"With the proof of two souls, my time and space talent seems to be a bit too strong?"

"Maybe I should specialize in the space-time system?"

Roja couldn't help but feel distressed.

In fact, Roja has been struggling with the question of which path should be taken.

His spiritual power is so powerful and he has the evidence of two souls, so he should take the spiritual route?

His bloodline is from the plant system, and he obtained the magic power of the forest through blood fusion. Sure enough, it is better to go to the plant system?

Now he suddenly discovered that his talent in the time and space system is extremely powerful and is extremely consistent with the dual soul certificate. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use the time and space system?

"Oh, having too much talent is also a problem!"

Roja let out a long sigh, and then focused on continuing to learn the Jenga of Time.

Now is not the time to waste time agonizing over which route to take.

Learning the Jenga of Time as soon as possible and passing the third magic machine trial as soon as possible is the right thing to do.

As for whether to pursue the spiritual system, the plant system, or the time and space system in the future, we will discuss it later.

With the assistance of the Two Souls Certificate, Roja's training speed for the Jenga of Time has been greatly improved.

Time sense development level, 10%...

Time sense development level, 20%...

Time sense development level, 30%...

It took Roja half a year to finally fully develop the sense of time.

The time element he can perceive is about 200,000 units.

After using the evidence of the two souls, the time element he can perceive is 30 million units!

Perception is application.

As many time elements as you can perceive, you can use as many time elements as you want.

Because he has a sixth-level time talent, he can perceive more time elements than others. If he adds the proof of dual souls...

"Teacher, if the time element is increased a hundred times, can the power of the witchcraft of Jenga of Time be increased a hundred times?" Roja asked.

"No." Instructor Shi Ke shook his head, "For example, if you release a fireball, the size and damage range of the fireball can increase as the amount of magic power injected increases, but the temperature of the fireball cannot be increased that easily."

"You consume more time elements. The acceleration rate of Time Jenga can indeed be enhanced to a certain extent, but the enhancement rate has a limit. It is impossible for you to increase the consumption by a hundred times, and the time acceleration rate will also increase by a hundred times. times."

"Although the acceleration rate is difficult to increase, the range of witchcraft's influence is different."

"The range of influence of Time Jenga is already very wide. If the consumption of the time element increases a hundred times..."

"With your current strength, the influence of Jenga of Time may be able to cover a small country."

The scope of a small country?

If we could make the Jenga of Time envelope a country and speed up the time of the entire country three times, one hundred years would be equivalent to three hundred years!

One hundred years is equivalent to the time from the Jenny spinning machine to the Wright brothers building the world's first airplane.

In three hundred years, it has developed from the Jenny textile machine to being able to build an air station, allowing real people to land on the moon, and landing a probe on Mars.

The difference between the two is really huge.

What if Jenga of Time affects not a country, but a planet?

The more I thought about Roya, the more excited I became.

"As expected, time witchcraft is very powerful!"

The first stage of developing the sense of time for Jenga of Time has been completed, and now we are about to enter the second stage of learning.

Luo Ya listened carefully to Teacher Shi Ke's teaching without wanting to miss a word.

"General witchcraft uses magic and spiritual power to directly obtain results."

"For example, fire witchcraft can transform magic power into flames to attack the enemy."

"For example, spiritual witchcraft can use mental power to control or curse enemies."

"But time witchcraft is different. Time witchcraft is driven by the element of time. We need to use magic and mental power to indirectly control the element of time to achieve the result of using time witchcraft."

"So if you want to successfully use time witchcraft, it is not enough to be able to perceive the element of time. You must also have the power to control the element of time."

Teacher Shi Ke stretched out his finger and gently drew a rune in mid-air.

This rune, which was carved by the fusion of magic and spiritual power, was suspended in mid-air. It seemed to be of no use, but Roja could sense through the sense of time that the surrounding time elements were converging towards the rune.

"To control the element of time, we need to use the power of the Mark of Time."

"The power of this time mark is very simple, it is to attract the surrounding time elements."

As he spoke, Instructor Shi Ke stretched out his fingers to carve out the imprints of time one after another in mid-air.

These time imprints are connected together to form a channel that allows time elements to flow inside.

"Through the arrangement and layout of the time imprints, we can achieve the purpose of letting the time elements flow according to our own will."

"This is how the element of time is manipulated."

Instructor Shi Ke looked at Roja with a smile, "Unlike the many types of magic patterns, there are only three seals of time, and their functions are to attract, release, and store."

"Through these three time seals, you can attract the time element, release the time element, and store the time element."

"These three Time Seals constitute all methods of using time elements. As long as you master these three Time Seals proficiently, you can make the time elements flow according to your own will by arranging the three Time Seals. , thereby achieving the purpose of controlling time.”

"Isn't it very simple?"

It sounds really simple.

There are hundreds or even thousands of magic patterns just for the basic magic patterns. With the various variations of magic patterns, sometimes millions of different magic patterns are needed to refine a magic pattern weapon.

There are only three Seals of Time.

And unlike magic patterns, which have many variations.

When using the Seal of Time, the only difference is to adjust the intensity of the Seal of Time according to your needs.

This time mark needs to be drawn larger to make it more attractive to the time element. This time mark may need to be drawn smaller so that it releases less time elements.

The Seal of Time only differs in size and strength, not in type.

It stands to reason that it is quite easy.

In fact, the simpler something seems, the more difficult it is to use.

One of the simplest time loops that Master Shi Ke taught Luo Ya to draw involves the use of tens of thousands of time seals, and the size of each time seal is different.

Roja would rather learn 10,000 different magic patterns and then combine these 10,000 magic patterns together.

They are unwilling to learn three identical Time Seals, and then combine 10,000 Time Seals, each of which is different in size and strength. In many cases, the difference is only one ten thousandth.

It only took Roja three hours to learn the three time seals.

Then it took Roja three full months to draw the simplest time loop without the help of the Two Souls Evidence. (End of chapter)
