Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 239

The color is like ink, covering this ancient city called "Arcadia". Above the spire, mist shrouded, as if even the stars were swallowed up in this chaos.
middle. Jiang Sheng stood on the top of the dilapidated bell tower, feeling the atmosphere of this strange world. His eyes were full of confusion and determination, because he knew that he

It no longer belongs to the earth that it once was.

"You...who are you?" A trembling voice came from the shadows, breaking the silence of the night.

Jiang Sheng turned around and saw an old man in robes with an old face looking at him with frightened eyes. The robe was embroidered with complex runes and shone with a faint light. It was obviously a unique product of this world.

"I...my name is Jiang Sheng." Jiang Sheng's voice was calm and powerful, even though his heart was full of uneasiness, "I come from a world that you can't understand."

"A world that cannot be understood?" A trace of curiosity flashed in the old man's eyes, "Why do you appear here? And why do you have such a powerful power?"

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath. He knew that in this world full of mystery and danger, he must act carefully. He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a faint light began to condense. It was the power he had awakened in this world - a mysterious ability to control elements.

"I...I was reborn." Jiang Sheng's voice contained a hint of trembling, but more of a determination, "In another world, I died of an unavoidable disaster. When I woke up again, I found myself here, and the power I had seemed to have some connection with this world.”

A trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. He obviously did not expect Jiang Sheng to be so honest. He took a few steps closer and looked at Jiang Sheng carefully, as if he was looking for something.

"Your breath... is very special." The old man said slowly, "I have never seen anyone like you. However, Arcadia welcomes you, Jiang Sheng. Here, you can find your own path. "

In the darkness of Arcadia, Jiang Sheng stood opposite the mysterious old man Moni. Moni is thin but stands upright, like an ancient tree that has weathered the storm. Although time has left traces on his body, it has not diminished his tenacity and wisdom. His face was carved with ravines by the years, but his eyes shone with sharp light, as if he could see into people's hearts. He was wearing a dark gray robe, embroidered with complex runes, which flashed slightly as he moved, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Moni spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "I, Moni, am a hermit. In this world, I travel around, seeking the true meaning of secrets. Now, the encounter between you and me may be destiny. "

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, his eyes full of curiosity and awe: "Mr. Moni, what is this world like? I am unfamiliar with everything here."

Moni smiled slightly, his eyes shining with wisdom: "Arcadia is a world full of mystery and danger. Here, mystics have become the guardians of the world by mastering the power of natural elements. However, at the same time, there are also some evil forces surging secretly, trying to break the balance of the world. "

He looked up at the night sky, where the stars were bright, but seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of mist: "Under this starry sky, there are countless unknown territories hidden."
Domain and strong presence. In pursuit of higher power, some mystics do not hesitate to associate with these beings and embark on evil paths. And our mission,

It is to protect this world from evil forces. "

He looked at the experienced and wise old man Moni in front of him, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

"Mr. Moni, I am eager to find my own place in this world and make a difference." Jiang Sheng's voice was calm and powerful, and every word revealed his determination.

Moni nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his skinny hand, took out a crystal clear crystal ball from his robe, and slowly handed it to Jiang Sheng: "Jiang Sheng, this is a detection crystal. It can sense your ability, potential and attributes. Hold it , relax your mind.”

Jiang Sheng took the crystal ball and felt that it was cold and smooth, as if he was holding a star. Following Moni's instructions, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his mind.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and only the light in the crystal ball was flowing slowly. Moni observed quietly, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.

After a moment, the light in the crystal ball suddenly became brighter, as if there was a powerful force surging in it. Jiang Sheng felt that his palm was surrounded by a warm force, as if there was a warm current flowing through his body.

"Very good, Jiang Sheng." Moni's voice broke the silence, "Your ability potential is very powerful and has various attributes. I saw the heat of the fire, the violence of the storm, the tenacity of the earth, and the gentleness of the water. You He is a rare multi-attribute mystic."

Jiang Sheng opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Really? Mr. Moni, can I really control the power of so many elements?"

Moni smiled and nodded: "Yes, but it also means you need to put in more effort. The power of each element has its own unique characteristics and skills, and you need to understand and master them one by one."

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, and he felt that his heart was full of expectation and excitement: "I am willing, Mr. Moni. Please accept me as your disciple and teach me the secret technique."

Moni looked at him, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Very good, Jiang Sheng. From today on, you are my disciple. I will do my best to teach you to become a true mystic."

The moonlight shone on them, giving them a silvery glow.

Under the ancient bell tower of Arcadia, Moni nodded solemnly, indicating that he agreed to Jiang Sheng's request. His eyes shone with anticipation, as if he saw hope for the future.

"Jiang Sheng, since you are determined to become an occultist, I must explain to you the key points of learning." Moni's voice was low and serious, "The way of occultism is divided into three aspects: spiritual body, soul body, and physical body. . These three complement each other and are indispensable.”

"The spirit body is the bridge between the mystic and the natural elements. It represents your perception and insight, allowing you to feel the existence and flow of the surrounding elements." Moni explained, "You need to learn how to communicate with Spirits make connections, sense the power of the elements, and channel them to your advantage.”

"The soul body is the embodiment of your will and spirit. It determines your understanding and mastery of secret techniques. You need to exercise your willpower and strengthen your beliefs in order to master more advanced secret techniques."

"The body is your foundation and support. Only a strong body can support you for long-term training and fighting. Therefore, you also need to carry out physical training to enhance your physical fitness."

Over the next two years, Jiang Sheng experienced special training from Moni.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunshine had just fallen on the land of Arcadia, and Jiang Sheng had already started physical training under the guidance of Moni. They came to a dense forest with towering trees and crisp birdsong.

Moni pointed to a steep mountain in front of him and said to Jiang Sheng: "Today, your goal is to climb that mountain and wait for my arrival at the top."

Jiang Sheng nodded, took a deep breath, and started heading towards the mountain. He used his hands and feet to climb the rugged mountain road. Sweat soaked his clothes, but he did not stop and continued to move forward firmly.

On the mountainside, Moni suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Sheng. He handed Jiang Sheng a wooden stick and said, "Use it to find the balance point and move forward faster and more steadily."

Jiang Sheng took the wooden stick and after many attempts, he finally found his balance. His steps became more steady and his speed became faster. Finally, he successfully climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the distant scenery with a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

At noon, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves on an open space in the forest. Jiang Sheng and Moni sat cross-legged and began to practice their spiritual bodies.

Moni asked Jiang Sheng to close his eyes, take a deep breath, and then guided him to feel the flow of elements around him. Jiang Sheng felt as if he was in a world full of energy, and various elements such as wind, fire, water, and earth became clear in his perception.

"Feel their rhythm and listen to their language." Moni's voice rang in Jiang Sheng's ears, "Establish a connection with them and let them become your friends."

Jiang Sheng followed Moni's instructions and gradually established a connection with these elements. He felt that his spiritual body was constantly expanding, as if he could touch the life force of the entire forest.

When night fell and the stars were shining brightly, Jiang Sheng and Moni came to the top of the bell tower and began to practice their soul bodies.

Moni asked Jiang Sheng to face the starry sky, close his eyes, and start meditating. He guided Jiang Sheng to recall his past, think about his future, and strengthen his faith and determination.

"Your will is the source of your strength." Moni's voice echoed in Jiang Sheng's ears, "Only firm belief and determination can make you go further on the road of cultivation."

During meditation, Jiang Sheng felt that his soul body was constantly growing, his thinking became clearer, and his willpower became stronger.

Two years passed quickly. On this day, as cultivation entered a new stage, Moni introduced Jiang Sheng into a more mysterious field. in the hazy moonlight
In the hazy night, on the ancient platform at the top of the bell tower, Moni took out a thick secret book from the depths of his robe. The cover of the book was slightly eroded by the years.

Mottled, but still exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.

Moni's movements were very solemn. He held the book in his hands as if holding a precious gem. He looked at Jiang Sheng, his eyes shining with expectation and trust: "Jiang Sheng
Victory, this is a secret book that I have treasured for a long time. But unfortunately, I have been studying it for many years, but I still can't decipher the words above. "

Jiang Sheng took the book and felt a heavy sense of responsibility pressing on his heart. He gently opened the pages and saw that the pages were densely filled with strange symbols and words, and every character seemed to contain profound power. He raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Money, these words are...?"

Moni shook his head slightly and sighed: "These words are ancient and mysterious and do not belong to our era. I have searched for wise men everywhere, but no one can understand them. But I believe that you have potential and wisdom beyond ordinary people. Maybe you can Discover the secrets along the way."

Jiang Sheng held the book tightly, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

The moonlight fell on them, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to this solemn moment. Moni looked at Jiang Sheng, her eyes full of joy and pride: "Go, Jiang Sheng. Your adventure has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. I believe you will become a true master of the secret arts." Jiang Sheng Standing on the top of the bell tower, holding the mysterious book of secrets tightly in his hands, his heart was filled with reluctance and determination. He turned around and looked at Moni, who was standing not far away, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

There was a kind smile on Moni's face, but there was also a touch of sadness in her eyes. He took a deep look at Jiang Sheng, as if he wanted to engrav this young man's appearance in his heart forever.

"Jiang Sheng, are you ready?" Moni's voice was low and gentle, as if it contained an indescribable magic power.

Jiang Sheng nodded, his voice choked up: "Yes, Mr. Moni. I'm ready." He paused and continued: "In the past two years, you have not only

Taught me the secret way, and also taught me how to become a strong and brave person. I will always remember your teachings. "

A glimmer of relief flashed in Moni's eyes. He walked forward with a smile and patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder: "My child, you have grown into a real secret master."
Master. I am proud of you. But remember, the road ahead is still long and full of unknowns and challenges. You must always be vigilant and constantly improve yourself. "

Jiang Sheng nodded heavily, with a firm light shining in his eyes. He took a deep breath to calm down the reluctance and excitement in his heart, and then bowed deeply to Moni: "Mr. Moni, thank you for your careful teaching and care over the past two years. I will keep your teachings in mind. , move forward bravely.”

Mo Ni smiled and helped Jiang Sheng up. Their eyes met, as if they could see everything in each other's hearts. Moni patted Jiang Sheng's shoulder again and encouraged: "Go, kid. Go pursue your dreams and create your own legend."

Jiang Sheng nodded, turned and walked towards the stairs of the bell tower. His steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was on the road to the future. Under the moonlight, his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Jiang Sheng embarked on the journey alone, his heart full of curiosity and expectation for the unknown world. Carrying his luggage and holding a long sword, he walked into the vast wilderness of Arcadia.

Soon he encountered a traveling caravan. The caravan carriages moved forward slowly, the drivers chatting loudly, and the goods were piled high.

When Jiang Sheng's eyes fell on the slowly moving caravan for the first time, he saw hope. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the caravan's carriage, coating its outline with a golden halo. The drivers were busy talking, and occasionally the neighing of horses broke the tranquility.

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, adjusted the position of his backpack, and then walked towards the caravan. He noticed that the leader of the caravan, a middle-aged man, was riding a horse and scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. He was wearing a dark robe and a delicate dagger at his waist, looking majestic.

Jiang Sheng walked up to the leader's horse, bowed slightly, and said politely: "Hello, sir. I am Jiang Sheng, a traveler traveling alone. Can I join your caravan? I am willing to pay. Remuneration accordingly.”

The leader looked Jiang Sheng up and down, with a hint of curiosity and admiration in his eyes. He noticed that Jiang Sheng had a strong figure, a steady pace, and a determined light in his eyes. He smiled and nodded, and said: "Young man, seeing as you are very skilled, it is natural to join our caravan. However, our caravan has strict rules. You need to abide by our disciplines and be able to protect us when necessary." goods."

After Jiang Sheng heard this, he felt happy and nodded quickly in agreement: "Yes, sir. I promise to abide by the rules of the caravan and do my best to protect the safety of the goods."

The leader nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then you are welcome to join. I am the leader of this caravan, you can call me Captain Li. Come, let's get in the car. Well, it’s getting late, so we have to find a safe place to spend the night.”

Jiang Sheng nodded gratefully, took the water bag from Captain Li, and drank it in one gulp. He jumped onto an empty carriage and sat on the edge of the carriage, feeling the slow rhythm of the carriage.

However, the good times did not last long. In the evening, the caravan was suddenly attacked by a group of robbers. The robbers, riding fast horses and holding broadswords, rushed towards the caravan from all directions. The coachmen were panicked, the caravan horses were also frightened, and the scene was chaotic.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng quickly drew his sword and jumped out of the carriage. He rushed towards the robber, his long sword drawing streaks of cold light in the air. He is agile and has superb swordsmanship, and he quickly repels several robbers.

"Don't panic, everyone! Protect the goods!" Jiang Sheng shouted loudly. While fighting the robbers, he directed the caravan members to organize defense. With his encouragement, the caravan members gradually stabilized their emotions and began to resist the robbers.

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the secret power in his body. He felt a warm air rising from his Dantian and quickly spreading throughout his body. His fingertips trembled slightly, as if electricity was jumping around them.

When he opened his eyes, Jiang Sheng's eyes flashed with sharp light. He gripped the sword tightly, and with a movement of his body, he rushed towards the robber like lightning. He is flexible and quick in footwork, and every move is just right, avoiding the robber's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Suddenly, Jiang Sheng shouted loudly, jumped up suddenly, and drew a dazzling arc in the air with his long sword. He slashed with his sword, and a sword energy burst out from the tip of the sword, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, heading towards the robber leader. The robber leader's expression changed, and he hurriedly swung his sword to resist, but the sword energy still broke through his defense and knocked him back several steps.

After Jiang Sheng landed, he kept moving and rushed towards the robber again. He held the sword in both hands, and the blade shone with cold light, and every swing of the sword was as violent as a violent storm. Sometimes he showed off his fierce swordsmanship, and sometimes he used his secret power to launch attacks, leaving the robbers overwhelmed.

As the battle progressed, Jiang Sheng gradually showed his powerful secret skills. He can mobilize the surrounding elemental power to form wind blades, fireballs and other attack methods, catching the robbers off guard.

After a fierce battle, Jiang Sheng finally found the flaw of the robber leader and stabbed him in the vital part with a sword. The robber leader screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing that their leader was dead, the robbers scattered and fled. Jiang Sheng followed closely and killed several more robbers. In the end, the caravan successfully repelled the robbers' attack and the goods were preserved.

After the battle, the caravan members expressed their gratitude to Jiang Sheng. The leader even held his hand and praised him repeatedly: "Young man, you are really our savior! Without you, we would have been killed by the robbers."

Everyone in the caravan expressed their sincere gratitude to Jiang Sheng, while being amazed by his superb secret fighting skills.

As the carriage jolted, they passed through dense forests, crossed several winding rivers, and finally arrived at the gate of Leyte City.

Leyte City is located on a vast plain. The city walls are tall and solid, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere. In front of the city gate, groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth to ensure the tranquility of the city. Above the city gate, a huge stone tablet is engraved with the three characters "Lyte City" in simple and powerful handwriting.

When the caravan carriage slowly drove into the city gate, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but be attracted by the prosperity and excitement of the city. There are many shops on both sides of the street with a variety of products, attracting many pedestrians to stop and watch. In the middle of the street, there was a steady flow of people, either in a hurry or strolling leisurely, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

The caravan found a spacious open space and stopped to rest. Jiang Sheng jumped off the carriage, stretched his body, and felt the atmosphere of Wright City. He looked around and saw that he was surrounded by busy businessmen and travelers in a hurry. Everyone's face was filled with different expressions, whether they were happy or sad, but they were all full of the breath of life.

"Jiang Sheng, you're here!" Captain Li came over and patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder, "This Wright City is where our caravan often trades. The goods here are of various types and the prices are fair. Do you have anything? Need to buy?”

Jiang Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "There is nothing to buy yet. However, I want to walk around the city and feel the atmosphere of the city."

Captain Li nodded and expressed understanding: "Okay, you can go shopping, but pay attention to safety. Our caravan will rest at the inn in the city at night, please remember to come back."

Jiang Sheng nodded gratefully, said goodbye to Captain Li, and walked into the streets of Wright City alone. As night fell, Jiang Sheng returned to the caravan inn. He gently opened the door of the room, placed his luggage next to the table, and then carefully took out the ancient classic.

The light in the room dances on the cover of the book, reflecting the mottled text and patterns. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and slowly opened the pages of the book. Lines of strange symbols appeared

and text come into view. He tried to decipher the words, but found that they were completely different from any language he knew.

However, just as he was concentrating on studying the classics, a strange power suddenly surged out of the pages and surrounded Jiang Sheng. He felt dizzy
Dizzy, and then, his consciousness seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and gradually sank into an unknown space.

In this space, there is a hazy light and shadow all around, as if you are in an endless void. Jiang Sheng felt that his body became extremely light,

It was as if the restraint of gravity had been lost. He looked around, trying to find the boundaries of this space, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach anything solid.

Jiang Sheng's heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. He didn't know where he was or how to leave this space. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply

Breathing, trying to calm the panic inside. At this moment, he felt a warm current rising from his Dantian and quickly spreading throughout his body. He immediately realized that this was the power of secret magic at work.

(In the world of Arcadia, mystics are special beings who can master mysterious power and use various secret techniques. Their power comes from their understanding of the laws of the universe and the manipulation of natural elements. Mystery The level division of magicians is strict and clear, and each level corresponds to different titles and abilities.

1. Beginner (Apprentice)

Apprentices who are new to the secret arts are called "occult apprentices". They have just begun to come into contact with occult knowledge and learn basic theories and techniques. Apprentices can usually only perform some simple element manipulation and spell experiments under the guidance of their mentors. Their power is weak, but their potential is unlimited.

2. Mage (trainee mage)

After a long period of study and practice, the occult apprentice will be promoted to "apprentice mage". They begin to master more advanced arcane arts and are able to cast some basic spells independently. Trainee mages have been able to feel the power of natural elements and initially understand the principles behind them. Their strength is enough to stand out among ordinary people, but they are still powerless when facing powerful enemies.

3. Archmage (senior mage)
When apprentice mages reach a certain level of skill, they are promoted to "senior mages" or "arch mages." Mystics at this level are already able to skillfully manipulate various elements and cast powerful spells. Their power is enough to change the local environment and even affect the weather. Archmages usually have their own mage towers or secret laboratories, and are the targets of major forces competing to recruit them.

4. Magister (Grandmaster)
Above the senior mages, there are more powerful "magisters" or "grandmasters". Mystics of this level have mastered the essence of occult arts and can use the laws of nature to create amazing miracles. Their power is enough to shake mountains, change rivers, and even affect the fate of the world. Magisters usually have a very high reputation and status, and are the targets of political leaders and nobles from various countries.
