The Truth of Magic

154 chapter 153/starting spell

“Ying, don’t think about it.” Wang Ningwei said as she pulled on ashvich’s sleeve. Sometimes, she still liked to call her Ying.

ashvich had gone to the front desk to look at the lecture notes that zhao xu had hand-written, and 70 – 80% of the content was the same as what zhao xu had said in the lecture.

the remaining 30% was different, and zhao xu had naturally remade the decision based on the audience’s reaction.

It also proved that the changes in the manuscript were completely done by him alone. Only in this way could he modify it at will.

this was also the reason why many apprentice mages in the lecture room couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise again after joining in the fun.

“did you secretly chat with him long ago? Did you know that he has the ability to cast any spell he wants?” ashvich looked at wang ningwei with an adulterous look.

they were the only ones who knew that zhao xu was only level 3.

it wasn’t difficult for an advanced mage to do that.

but for a level 3 wizard to do it, that was a fantasy.

“Have you forgotten?” Wang Ningwei suddenly had a mysterious smile on her face. when you failed to cast fear immunity, didn’t you ask zhongxia to cast ‘resuscitation’ on you so that you could recover? ”

“He cast the spell directly.” wang ningwei said, her eyes as clear as usual.

“I see.” Ashvich also understood.

at that time, she had fallen into a deep fear and did not want to think too much about it.

Actually, when she had shouted ” resuscitate “, she had only hoped that Zhao Xu would have prepared such a scroll.

Generally speaking, if he was alone, he would be done for if he failed the exemption.

How could he have the chance to cast a spell to save himself again?

if he could really cast another spell, it meant that the negative state he was in was not serious.

This paradox made it unnecessary for the lone wolves to prepare this spell.

That day, Zhao Xu didn’t know that he would be forming a team with them, so there was no way he could have prepared this spell.

as ashvich thought about this, he couldn’t help but glance at wang ningwei.

The other party had known this all along, but he had deliberately not told her, waiting to make fun of her.

———————-

After Zhao Xu walked out of the lecture room, no apprentices dared to follow or bother him because they were afraid of how powerful he was in class.

usually, when a lecturer left the podium, it meant that the exchange was over.

Zhao Xu stood on the ground of the floating city and looked at the three blood moons in the distance as he thought back to his performance today.

the squares in the floating city were not sealed off, so natural sunlight could shine down and nourish the growth of various plants in the flower beds.

However, when the mages were designing the floating city, they still followed the requirements of an indoor garden and designed the flower bed in the square as an arcane garden.

even if the world lost all sunlight, the plants in the floating city could still rely on those arcane runes to obtain energy and continue to grow.

that night, zhao xu could smell a fragrance.

then he noticed antonya standing in the shadowy corner of the flower bed. antonya had obviously been watching him for a long time.

“are you done acting cool?” antonya asked.

zhao xu laughed. as expected, it was the antonya that he knew and liked to complain.

right now, zhao xu felt that he was in a very good state of mind. the excitement of completing a lecture was still encouraging his emotions.

“What happy things have you encountered these days?” antonya asked.

zhao xu raised his head to look at the starry sky, then sighed and said, ” “I just feel that I can more or less grasp a trace of my fate, and I’m a little emotional.”

Antonya, on the other hand, looked at him with a thoughtful expression, then looked up at the starry sky as well.

Zhao Xu had told Zhang Qi to be careful of cui Lu that day, and cui Lu had indeed made it through the day of mountain climbing safely.

There was also no melodramatic plot where Zhang Qi fell and got a concussion while protecting CUI Lu, and was unable to play anymore.

everything was perfect.

this was also the first time zhao xu had tried to actively interfere with someone else’s fate, and he had actually succeeded.

Because of his appearance, Wang Ningwei and the other apprentice mages were able to undergo the awakening ceremony five days in advance.

However, it was also because of his appearance that he destroyed the arcane throne, causing the time of his awakening to be pushed back by five days.

Everything had returned to its original state.

That was why Zhao Xu had been worried that something melodramatic like the world line would automatically bind him.

fortunately, everything was normal. he didn’t even need to get involved. just the butterfly effect was enough to affect the situation.

“Since you’re full of confidence now, come to the spell Battle Room to find me tomorrow morning after you’ve recovered all your spells. I’m going to practice some of the uses of level 2 spells with you.”

“After all, you’ve changed from a noob to a noob.”

The next day, after Zhao Xu logged into the game, he thought about how he would have to spend another three hours preparing his spells, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

The price of showing one’s divinity in front of the masses was naturally to work hard behind the scenes.

mages, priests, and dossiers all needed an hour to prepare their spells.

But if Zhao Xu didn’t use any spells in the future, then there was no need for him to prepare any more.

Especially since it took him an hour to become a level 1 cleric, it was indeed a waste of expression.

basically, when zhao xu had more spell slots, he wouldn’t use those few level 1 priest spell slots anymore.

Antonya took up most of the space on the seventh floor of the obelisk, especially the research rooms that had never been opened.

But this time, Antonya had arranged for him to use a spell Battle Room, and the biggest special effect was that the space around the Battle Room had an auto-repair function.

it also had a strong positive energy healing effect. zhao xu’s health points increased by another level just by standing in the room. it went from 17 to more than 20.

Antonya was still wearing the wine-red robe that she had worn before.

“Teacher, do you need to be so serious?” zhao xu asked in surprise.

the robe that antonya was wearing was the same one that the goddess of magic had worn when zhao xu had crossed the river of history on the arcane throne-the great sage’s robe.

To Antonya, this robe was better than nothing in terms of increasing her defense, but it couldn’t help but be the same robe that the goddess of magic had worn when she had first become a God.

such a historical status allowed the great sage robe to be in constant demand.

the great sage robe’s defense level alone could double the effect of a mage’s armor, which was as high as a tier 8 armor bonus. it was equivalent to a warrior’s full-body armor.

More importantly, this robe could allow the caster to recover three spell slots a day, even if it was as high as level nine.

Usually, when Zhao Xu saw Antonya wearing this outfit, there would be a special meaning to it, such as when he took her to the inheritance of the ITRE dynasty.

today, I’ll let you know in advance how mages fight before the catastrophe.

antonya said.

when zhao xu heard this, he couldn’t help but start to think.

the starting stance?

according to the thoughts of a level 3 wizard like him, shouldn’t the first thing high-level wizards do when they meet each other be to greet each other with the level 9 spell ” wizard disjunction “?

This spell could destroy all magic defenses and magic equipment.

It was lethal to both himself and others. Basically, whoever got hit would have a lifetime of enmity.

think about it, which spell did you learn in the final scroll space that has such power? ” antonya continued to ask.

when zhao xu heard this, he fell into deep thought and fell silent.

the range was naturally referring to the second-level spells he had learned.

And it was more likely to be a level two arcane spell. After all, the archivist would not be able to cast level two divine spells until he reached level three.

“ghoststrike?” Zhao Xu tried to ask.

this spell could allow a mage to ignore any armor, and it was a natural defensive armor. it was called a type a killer.

Even though the blazing God’s servant that Zhao Xu had transformed into before had a defense level of over level 30, once it didn’t have any natural defense armor, its defense wasn’t much higher than a rookie wizard like Zhao Xu.

“Ha, although we mages can deal damage, we’re still a minority. the spells that could really deal damage were mostly divine spells, so archivist was the real number one physical damage output. but i’m asking about mages, okay?”

Antonya’s eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Zhao Xu.

“Transformation technique?” zhao xu tried to ask this spell that had unlimited possibilities.

it’s hard to achieve anything. So what if it’s a rank 9 transformation? ” antonya said sarcastically.

“Sparkling dust?” zhao xu continued. this spell could be said to be one of the most practical level 2 spells, and many wizards liked to memorize it.

“This is your last chance.”

“A lesser Swift burst?” Zhao Xu replied after a moment of silence.

after hearing zhao xu’s answer, antonya finally nodded in satisfaction. ” “yes, at least there’s still hope.”

Zhao Xu had tried casting Swift burst in the scroll before.

It had-total of three series, and the lowest was-level 2 spell-lesser Swift burst.

After Zhao Xu cast this spell, the flow of time around him would become extremely slow, and it would only return to normal after he completed the corresponding actions.

This was equivalent to him gaining an additional action, and this action could affect the world, unlike time stop, which could only be played by him.

the level 2 spell, lesser swiftness burst, only allowed zhao xu to move a little, and it wasn’t enough for him to cast the spell.

With the Level 4 spell Swift burst, he would be able to get a ” standard action ” spell, which could be used to cast a ” standard action ” spell or attack.

The level 8 spell, advanced swiftness burst, could give time for a full round of movements.

however, these three spells all had a very serious price. after the time limit was up, he would fall into a coma.

On the battlefield, that would be waiting for death.

“Teacher, but isn’t there a huge flaw in Swift burst?” zhao xu asked.

When he saw the negative consequences, he gave up.

Even if the spell looked beautiful and allowed him to forcefully slow down time when the enemy attacked, he would be able to make more choices.

“then let me ask you, what is the casting action of the swift burst spell series?” antonya asked softly.

“It’s an instinctive action.” zhao xu replied simply.

the time it took for an intuitive move was equivalent to swift action, both of which could be completed in an instant.

however, his intuition was stronger because it was equivalent to an instant reaction. he only needed to think about it.

for example, the casting elements of the swift burst series of spells were simple single-syllable incantations.

zhao xu only needed to say ” ah ” and the spell would be cast.

“What if I tell you that we actually have a way to avoid getting dizzy?” antonya said.

zhao xu also fell silent.

Did this mean that he was born with the ability to move more than others?
