I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 104 Adaptation
While the entire Elosia plane was abuzz with activity due to the huge bounty, Jemin and his companions were still moving through the desolate mountains.

The advancement to a first-level wizard was a greater boost than Jemin had initially anticipated; the Ring of Truth's amplification of mental power and the increase in cultivation speed were quite exaggerated.

In particular, his amplified spiritual power can be transformed into real cultivation through internal circulation and the method of refining essence into qi.

In the past few days, Jieming's cultivation level and meditation speed have both improved to a new level, and he is spiraling upwards with his left foot stepping on his right foot.

As a result, after all three of them advanced to the first level of wizards, they all developed problems with inaccurate control over their power.

Fortunately, this problem is easy to solve.

On their long journey to the wizard's stronghold, they turned the non-threatening enemy units they encountered along the way into training grounds for "sweeping away" and "familiarizing themselves with their power."

Jemin walked at the front, his mental energy constantly connected to the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror.

With the deliberate cultivation of Jieming over the years, the spirituality of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror is now sufficient to handle the information transmitted back by the vast array of glimmering eyes, including the Eye of Reconnaissance.

Just as they were passing through a forest shrouded in thick fog, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror sounded an alarm.

“Ahead, a group of small forest spirits,” Jemin whispered. “There are about thirty of them, and they are relatively weak, but their energy fluctuations are rather strange.”

Victor and Amy immediately understood and prepared their respective attack spells.

"That shaman's soul doesn't contain any information about the spirits or monsters in this forest. Be careful!" Amy warned.

Both Jemin and Victor nodded silently.

Along the way, in addition to becoming familiar with the power, they also witnessed the unique talents and abilities of many native creatures in this plane.

Many creatures' abilities may seem insignificant, but if you're unfamiliar with them, you can easily suffer a great loss.

Just like the orcs that Jemin and his friends encountered when they destroyed the shrine.

Orcs are characterized by their extremely tenacious vitality, but only when you actually face them do you realize that their vitality is so strong that even if their bodies are riddled with holes, they still have the ability to fight back.

The so-called spirits are a rather special form of natural spirits in the Erosian plane.

Whether they are good or evil, or possess natural abilities, their nature changes according to the natural environment they live in, making them the most difficult enemies to obtain intelligence about.

As the three approached the camp, a shrill, malevolent shriek suddenly rang out.

Dozens of forest spirits of various shapes emerged from the thick fog. Some resembled tree branches, while others looked like moss, and their bodies emitted a faint green glow.

They were incredibly fast, with sharp claws and mouthparts, and pounced on the three of them from all directions.

However, Jemin was faster and struck first before they could launch their attack.

However, a round of energy blasts had almost no effect.

The forest spirits' bodies were shattered into pieces by the white, streaky energy blasts, but they continued to pounce as if they were completely unharmed.

"Watch out, that pile of matter outside isn't their bodies!" Jemin shouted immediately.

He keenly noticed that these monsters could continue to move no matter what kind of damage their bodies suffered, and some of their bodies were even completely suspended in mid-air without any effect.

This shows that the pile of materials in front of them is just a smokescreen.

Judging from the performance of the energy blast just now, the true bodies of these monsters should be some kind of ethereal form that can ignore physical attacks.

Having lost the initiative, the monsters pounced on them in the blink of an eye.

However, Jemin remained completely calm.

The moment the monsters launched their attack, his spiritual power surged, and his previously inactive defensive rune artifact was instantly activated.

The monster's movements, which had been moving at high speed, suddenly became incredibly slow, as if it had sunk into a sticky swamp! This was Jemin's outermost layer of defense—the "Slowing Field".

A powerful energy field enveloped the area around Jemin, slowing down the movements of any spirits that entered it, as if in slow motion.

Some of the spirits that hadn't entered the deceleration zone were not to be outdone, and circled around Jemin, trying to find a gap in the force field.

But they found that the target in front of them was beginning to become blurry and distorted.

This is the effect of the second layer of defense – the “refracting mirror”.

The air around Jemin was refracted by some force, causing the monsters' vision to be severely distorted and biased. Those monsters that managed to get close by with great difficulty despite the slowing field often had their attacks deviate from their targets due to the deflection, instead piercing into empty ground or hitting their companions.

But before the monsters could come up with a solution, two more layers of defense activated on Jemin.

Four "force field shields" shimmering with rune light appeared around him. Although the sturdy force field constructed from runes had a relatively small defensive range, its protective ability in the front area was extremely strong.

The final layer of defense is the most basic and closest-fitting "energy shield".

A transparent film of light appeared on Jemin's body, as if he had an extra translucent eggshell.

This multi-layered defense system rendered the monsters' attacks ineffective.

After observing carefully for a while, Jemin confirmed the true nature of these spirits.

"Although it is completely immune to physical attacks, it has extremely low resistance to energy. Even the energy field of the slowing field can cause it considerable damage... It has characteristics similar to 'etherealization,' making it a creature specialized in physical attacks..."

He slightly raised his wrist, and the bracelet on his wrist spun rapidly, revealing the talismanic artifact embedded in it.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

The magical artifacts on his two wrists now correspond to different types of attacks.

The talisman on the left wrist activates a pure physical kinetic energy blast.

The seal on the right wrist, on the other hand, unleashes a pure elemental erosion energy surge.

“Elemental erosion.” Jemin thought to himself.

The next second, the talismanic artifact on his right wrist began to operate at high speed, and ten white beams of light, as thick as fingers, shot out like lasers, accurately hitting the monsters that were still struggling in the "decelerated" state.

The powerful elemental corrosive force ignored the "ethereal" nature of the spirit and seeped into its ethereal body like splashed ink, directly damaging its energy core.

"hiss!!!"

The spirits let out a shrill scream, their bodies were forced to solidify from nothingness, and then quickly withered, turning into pools of green liquid emitting black smoke.

Turning around, I saw that Amy and Victor had also quickly cleared out the remaining sporadic monsters to prevent them from scattering and escaping.

When all the monsters were destroyed, only green liquid remained in the entire forest.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're getting more and more amazing." Amy looked at Jemin and couldn't help but marvel.

Victor sighed, "I thought that by independently constructing offensive magic, I could narrow the gap between us, but now it seems that the gap between us is getting wider and wider."

“That’s normal. After all, like you said, I’m the top alchemist in our department,” Jemin joked with a smile.

After spending so many days together and fighting side by side, the group has become noticeably more familiar with each other than before.

Just as he was about to say something more, Jemin suddenly frowned.

His reconnaissance eye told him that a squad of superhumans radiating special energy had entered his "field of vision" fifty kilometers ahead.
