Chapter 364 Summary and 23 Things
Chapter 364 Summary and A Few Things
It’s not that Ivan overestimated his ability to endure, but insect sleep and insect transformation are very normal for insects. It is something engraved deep in the soul and it is a process that they can adapt to naturally.
For a wizard, the decline of thought and will is completely contrary to the way of wizards, which makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Regardless, the results are gratifying.
"It's not all done, but the expected goals have been achieved, so I'm satisfied."
Ivan looked at the solidified crystals, two large and one small, that were connected to his life, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Heart of Wood, Level 2 limit.
Heart of Fire, initial stage of level three.
Heart of Earth, the first stage of level three.
The best result, of course, would be for the Heart of Wood to go one step further, so that it could be equal to the Heart of Fire and the Heart of Earth, and they could be in a stable balance with each other. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so, and had to give up in time.
Even so, compared to an ordinary newly promoted third-level wizard who possesses one first-level, two-level, and three-level solidified crystal, the power he controls must be much stronger.
Clues can be seen from the vast power in the spiritual ocean.
"Good boy, the spiritual power has naturally begun to crystallize, and even the potion to assist the crystallization has been saved."
He discovered shining crystals in the liquid mental power, and immediately realized that because his strength was too strong, he had skipped the first stage of the three-level cultivation - the initial stage, and entered the second stage - the crystallization stage.
In fact, the third level of cultivation can be compared to the first and second levels.
Both focus on the accumulation of spiritual power. The three levels can also be divided into four stages: the initial stage, the crystallization stage, the third elemental stage, and the fourth-level wizard promotion stage.
The initial stage is extremely short, and it only requires raising the liquid mental power to above the 210 scale.
Then, using the 'crystallization auxiliary potion' as an inducement, part of the liquid mental power was crystallized, and then it entered the crystallization stage.
Now, he has gone straight to the crystallization stage in one step.
Strength: 16.4, Agility: 16.8, Constitution: 17.1, Spirit: 227
The improvement was more clearly shown on the Xueba panel. His mental power rose from 180 to 227, a full 47 points. Compared with 24.2 when he was promoted to the second level, this was undoubtedly a rich reward for his painstaking efforts to force the solidified crystal to break through the threshold.
It can also be seen from the panel that various aspects of the body were severely damaged.
His strength, agility, and physique, which were all close to 20 points, dropped by one level, but he didn't care much about it. It didn't hurt his essence. With his recovery ability, he would be back to normal in no time. He would even have a slight improvement due to his promotion to the third-level wizard.
With promotion, the realm and cognition are improved, and the experience value of various subjects increases accordingly.
Among them, [Meditation] was upgraded to a level 10 subject.
[Energy Particle Science] was upgraded to a level 9 subject.
Correspondingly, he gained a level 9 light of wisdom and a level 10 light of great wisdom.
During the promotion process, he was fully prepared in advance, and due to the special situation of insect sleep, he only tried to use one level 5 wisdom light, which had little effect, and the rest was of no use.
The panel has rich storage, including the Light of Wisdom: two copies at level 6, four copies at level 9, and one copy at level 11; and the Light of Great Wisdom: one copy at level 7 and two copies at level 10.
"With such a rich harvest, there will be a period of mental fatigue. This time it may exceed the normal period. I wonder if it will be three years or several years?"
"The theoretical lifespan of a third-level wizard is 500 years, and the burnout period is less than percent. It's not worth mentioning at all. It's just a research topic."
Of course, Ivan was very satisfied with the results of this transformation and promotion.
In the Black Demon Barrier living area, the 'cocoon' that wrapped around his body had dissipated, and the huge Black Demon Sacrifice Cocoon Formation was slowly stopping its operation, and everything was about to return to calm.
He stood up and stretched his muscles. After not moving for a long time, the joints of his body made crisp sounds.
After checking his appearance, he found that he had not changed much, unlike the last time when he showed obvious signs of insect transformation. This showed that he was no longer restricted by the "Black Beard Music".
"Jenny, how long has it been?" He then came to the sacrificial area below.
"It has been 8 months and 21 days since the formation was activated." Seeing his energetic appearance, Jenny's eyes lit up. Compared with before, his aura had risen to a higher level.
"So much time has passed. This guy must have made a lot of trouble, right?" Ivan could see the fatigue in Jenny's expression. Jenny definitely played an indispensable role in the successful promotion this time.
The promotion lasted for more than eight months. Without Jenny in charge, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
"Seven awakenings, I suppressed four of them." Jenny answered truthfully.
"Thanks a lot."
"It's our job, so why should we complain about the hardship?"
As a secret clone, she was born because of Ivan and existed for Ivan, so Jenny didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she thought it was a matter of course.
Ivan nodded slightly and glanced at the dust python in the center of the sacrificial area.
At this time, the Dust Python no longer had the spirit it had in the Spiral Valley. Its breath was extremely weak, and its mind was in a daze. It was already beyond recovery.
"The strong prey on the weak. That's the nature of the world."
Seeing that the dust python was in such a miserable state, Ivan remained calm.
He waved his hands forward, activating the heart of fire in the ocean of his mind. A large amount of dark grey flame gushed out, instantly enveloping the dust python and completely freeing it.
Afterwards, Ivan brought Jenny to the outside of the Dark Barrier.
"Boss, it will definitely work." "Thank you for your hard work."
"Hahaha, I knew there was nothing you couldn't do, Boss. It just took a little time. Look, I've made this loop path smooth and shiny—"
Although both of them are mystical clones, Locke’s personality is much more flamboyant than Jenny’s.
He had been patiently waiting for so long, and had a lot to say. When he saw that Ivan was safe and sound, he was completely relieved, and the words came out of his mouth at once, as if he wanted to finish them all at once.
This time, whether it is Jenny, Locke, the swamp ants, the silkworm queen, etc., they are all meritorious people and deserve Ivan's praise.
……
Outside the Dodd Magic Stone Mine, inside the garrison camp.
The members of the Third Team have never stopped paying attention to the mine. The recent disappearance of the elemental strange phenomenon lingering in the low sky has attracted their attention and discussion. Many people speculate that the gentleman should be coming out soon.
"Captain, that gentleman is coming towards the camp."
"Come on, follow me to greet him."
After hearing Xuena's report, Polly quickly stood up and called her to go and greet them together.
When Polly walked out of the room and saw the leader from afar, her heart trembled violently. The aura he felt was as oppressive as that of the legion commander, which confirmed her previous guess.
This Lord Marichatton really chose to be promoted in the magic stone mine, and more than eleven months later, he became an influential third-level wizard in the China Continent.
Isn't it shocking!
"Sir Marichatton, we sincerely congratulate you on becoming a third-level wizard and a pillar of the wizarding world."
"It is an honor for me, Polly Trevi, to have the honor to witness such a grand event, and it is also a supreme honor for all members of the Third Squadron of the Water Owl Battalion."
Before anyone else could react, Captain Polly and Xuena took a few steps forward and extended their sincere greetings to Ivan.
At this moment, Xue Na was completely dizzy. She was following the captain's actions completely. She seemed to hear something about a third-level wizard, and heard someone laughing and praising them for their good taste, and then she had a bag of bulging magic stones in her hand.
It was actually Locke who gave them the magic stones as reward.
This was not the first time Locke had done this. He was happy and gave another generous reward. After all, he was one of the first people to congratulate the boss and deserved a reward.
"The Trevy family. By the way, Wizard Arnold Trevy and I are neighbors." Ivan did not try to stop them.
"Wizard Arnold is my uncle. He once said that you are a knowledgeable and gentle person. I should learn from you. If I can learn even one tenth or one twelfth of you, I will definitely benefit from it for the rest of my life."
"Haha, Wizard Arnold, thank you for the compliment."
"No, no, no, he's still too modest. After meeting you today, even if we can learn one percent from you, it will benefit us a lot."
“——”
Ivan felt very happy to be complimented by such a heroic and beautiful witch, but of course, that was all.
However, he remembered Captain Polly.
After saying some polite words, Ivan took the others away.
This was the third day after he was successfully promoted. He had been recuperating in the magic stone mine for more than a day and only came out after finishing all the mess.
"Xena, what's wrong?"
Polly watched the gradually disappearing figure for a while before she looked away. She saw a pair of watery eyes staring at her, as if the eyes could speak.
"Captain, you are so good at talking." Xue Na had never seen the captain like this before. She was surprised but also a little envious: "I didn't say a word in front of Lord Marichatton. Compared to you, I am really too bad."
"Are you trying to say that I'm too good at flattery? Really?" Polly directly exposed her little thoughts and glanced at the other team members.
"No, no." Xue Na waved her hands repeatedly.
"In front of a strong person, whether it is flattery, bowing, or even kneeling, it is actually just a way to express respect. It has nothing to do with your face or mine.
No matter when, when facing someone who is higher than us, it is necessary to clearly express our respect.
What's more, this man is Lord Marichatton. He is not only a famous enchanter throughout the continent, no, he should be an enchanter master, but also a third-level wizard who is two levels higher than us. Now is the joyous moment when he has just been promoted.
Just say some flattering words, it's a good thing, and leave a good impression on him while he's happy. It's more important than anything else. You guys are still young."
Polly didn't take it seriously and continued to express her intention seriously.
In her opinion, if she said flattering words at this time, others would only regard it as congratulations. A little exaggeration would show her sincerity, but it would not make the strong look down on her.
"Captain, you are right. Xue Na has learned a lesson. It's a pity that I didn't speak just now. Lord Marichatton must not have remembered me." After hearing her words and looking at the magic stone bag in her hand which was bulging more than others, Xue Na now agreed deeply.
When the guards opened the magic stone bag, they found that the captain's bag contained a lot of high-quality magic stones, while Xue Na's were second-rate. They all regretted not following the captain forward.
Isn’t magic stone good?
They only had to say a few nice words, and they were facing the famous Lord Marichaton, and they were largely speaking the truth, but they missed the opportunity.
It's too late to regret!
