Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

It started to rain in the afternoon, and all outdoor classes were canceled and changed to holidays. The apprentices who were bored in the castle began to find all kinds of fun for themselves.

Some are playing magic chess, controlling the knight's chess pieces to defeat the dragon and save the kidnapped princess on the dungeon board.

There are also people who get together to play magic poker. Cards of different denominations rely on various combinations to summon fire dragons, knights, wizards, etc. to defeat the other party and eat the other party's cards.

There are also some little ghosts who have just come in and are excitedly looking for treasures in the maze-like castle with a "treasure map"——

Some extremely bored senior apprentices will make some treasure maps and spread them out. The apprentices who just come in don't understand anything. After getting the map by 'accident', they think they are the chosen ones and follow the path on the map to find the treasures buried in the castle. 'artifact'.

Of course, in the end they all gained nothing and suffered a lot from the various magic traps set up by the mischievous seniors along the way, making the apprentices hiding in the dark laugh.

Those who read the Mirror Shadow Magic Card Book, those who prepare potions, and those who read and study, all the apprentices are busy with their own things.

It was an afternoon like always, calm and peaceful.

"Crash!" The raindrops slapped on the ancient blue-gray stone wall, making crisp sounds.

In the room, Luo Xi stood quietly in front of the window and looked at the rain outside.

a long time.

"Appreciate the rain scene seriously, the time is +1 day."

There was a system prompt in his ears, but Luo Xi was not happy about this sudden gain. His brows were still frowning, and a cloud of sadness gathered between his brows, just like the dark clouds in the sky.

All wizard organizations in the South Coast Alliance will conduct intensive training on combat for six months.

The official reason given is because the wizards performed so poorly during the black wizard cholera. Anyone attacked by a black wizard would either run away without a fight or be defeated in a fight. In front of the black wizard, the white wizard was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Same.

It didn't sound like there was anything wrong, but Luo Xi smelled something like a storm was coming. The reason why the training was going on with such a huge commotion was because the alliance was not just trying to enhance self-defense capabilities.

"War?"

Luo Xi sighed. As a pacifist lover, he really just wanted to learn magic quietly. It can't be said that he had no interest in fighting and killing. He simply hated it.

For a moment, Luo Xi considered taking Nicole to leave this witchland and go to other places before the war started, but the idea flashed away and he gave up again.

First of all, as a wizard here, he can't just leave whenever he wants. Otherwise, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disasters. If all the wizards in the witchcraft domain run away due to war and disaster, it would be a fool's errand.

In addition, this witchland has cultivated him for so long, not to mention that he lives and dies with it, but he can't just betray his trust, right?

If you are too refined and self-interested, you will have no friends. Luo Xi is just an ordinary person and cannot be as ruthless and decisive as those peerless bosses.

"let it go."

After pinching her brows, Luo Xi finally decided to take one step at a time.

"Da da da"

There were footsteps behind him, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Luo Xi's waist, and her soft body pressed against his back.

Nicole hugged him and said, "What are you thinking about? You are so fascinated, come here and teach me. What is the pronunciation of this spell combination? Why can't I figure it out?"

She placed a tome on transfiguration in front of Luo Xi's eyes.

She didn't know why, but after returning in the morning, Nicole suddenly announced that she wanted to learn the difficult art of transformation, and ran to the library to borrow related books on the spot.

Roxila returned from her thoughts of running away, took the book and sat on the chair, and Nicole also sat on his lap.

"You say this, this is simple."

After guiding Nicole, Luo Xi also entered the meditation room and started today's daily meditation.

The storm is coming. Since you are not planning to go far away, then prepare quickly. After all, this is a world where strength speaks for itself. As long as you have enough strength, you can remain unchanged and cope with the changes no matter how stormy the outside is.

Luo Xi dormitory, meditation room.

"Strive to complete a meditation, time point +3 days."

Opening his eyes, Luo Xi opened the system panel and took a look at the current mental attributes.

Mental strength: 52.8.

It has only been a little over a week since I was promoted to wizard, and my mental power has increased from 52.6 at the time of promotion to 52.8, an increase of 0.2. You must know that this is pure meditation without passing the system, and it is almost equal to the efficiency of the previous month.

After the apprentice is promoted to a wizard, the meditation efficiency will also increase. When he first advances, it is about two or three times, and the further he goes, the greater the improvement.

Luo Xi frowned: "Isn't this too fast?"

He has improved his proficiency in demon hiding to perfection in recent times. Even so, the huge mental power used to hide the wizard is still too reluctant. Trying his best, Luo Xi can only hide the mental power to about 8.

If his strength continues to improve, this apprentice-level spell may not be able to hide his surging mental power.

"It seems that I want to look at more advanced sealing magic knowledge, but before I find other ways to hide my strength, I should stop meditating and focus on tempering my soul."

The training in the wizard stage is no longer a simple meditation like that of an apprentice, but has two aspects, one is mental power and the other is soul power.

The former is easy to understand: continuous meditation improves mental power, and as the strength increases, mental power will take on different forms.

They are atomization, liquefaction, and finally lattice formation.

The strength of the wizard stage is also divided according to this, the atomized low-level wizard, the liquefied mid-level wizard, and the crystallized high-level wizard.

Only wizards with stronger spiritual power can learn higher-level spells.

As for soul power, it is to repeatedly temper the soul through spiritual will and increase the toughness of the soul.

Mental power is the trunk, and the soul is the core. Only a tough enough soul power can control enough surging mental power.

There is no specific layering of soul power tempering, only a percentage progress bar, from 0% to 100%.

The elements have reached crystallization and the soul power has been tempered to 70%, which means that the extraordinary wizard stage has reached its peak and can hit the next stage.

The sage stage of wisdom.

"Let's give it a try first."

Thinking about this, Luo Xi closed his eyes and mobilized all his spiritual power to wrap around his soul and began to temper and forge it.

This is a delicate technical job, just like a blacksmith forging a sword. Every blow needs to be extremely careful, not only to ensure that the soul is not hurt, but also to make the soul sharper and tougher.

Luo Xi was not very proficient in the first time of forging, and it only lasted for more than ten minutes before it came to an end.

At this moment, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, and his face looked a little unsightly.

"Huh!~"

Opening his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not easy!

These ten minutes passed as long as a century. Every time he was beaten, he had to be careful for fear of hurting his soul. He was really walking on thin ice.

"It also consumes a lot of mental energy..."

He checked his current mental strength and found that it had dropped by nearly one-third. But you should know that it had only been more than ten minutes, and his training progress had not even increased.

"No wonder normal wizards would choose to improve their spiritual power first and then temper their souls later."

It is precisely because tempering the soul consumes so much mental energy that most wizards generally choose to improve their spiritual power first and then temper the soul. There is really no one who tempers the soul first.

Even those pure-blooded wizards with abundant resources would not do this. After all, weak mental strength is doomed to lack of control over exercise. Not only is the efficiency of exercise not high, it is also extremely painful to exercise. If you are not careful, you may even lose strength. It may damage the soul, and it will take a lot of time to recover.

so,

After trying to manually temper his soul once, Luo Xi decisively decided to give up the manual work and leave professional matters to professionals.

Let’s cheat!

[You begin to temper your soul, walking on thin ice with caution. 】

[Ten days have passed. You accidentally used too much force during the exercise, causing the exercise to fail. 】

[You began to temper your soul, walking on thin ice cautiously. 】

[Ten days have passed. You lacked control during the exercise, failed to exercise to the point, and the exercise failed. 】

【fail. 】

【fail. 】

[You begin to temper your soul, walking on thin ice with caution. 】

[Ten days have passed. With your careful operation, you have successfully completed a soul tempering. 】

After several failures in succession, Luo Xi finally achieved his first success. In an instant, he felt that his soul seemed to become stronger.

[The current progress of soul tempering is +0.03%. 】

[Soul tempering proficiency +13. 】
