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

Chapter 41 Test
Having left the area near the teleportation point, Jemin relied on the teleportation rune artifact to traverse the vast wilderness of the Savage Plane at high speed.

The gray rocky ground below, the twisted ancient vegetation, and the occasional strange beasts that flit by together create a primitive and dangerous landscape.

He had no specific destination; every step he took was to find suitable "experimental subjects" and environments for the upcoming practical tests.

The first thing they encountered was a group of beasts that resembled enlarged lizards, their bodies covered in a hard keratin layer, capable of spewing corrosive acid from their mouths.

There were about seven or eight of them, lying in ambush in the gaps of the trees, their huge, moss-covered bodies disguised as large rocks, waiting for an opportunity to ambush passing creatures.

After spotting these creatures high in the air, Jemin stopped the movement seal and landed lightly on the ground.

He did not avoid them, but went straight to the area where they were lurking.

The first lizard beast launched an attack, shooting a stream of green acid at him.

With a thought, the shield that was originally hidden was immediately activated at full power, and a thick, earth-yellow shield instantly condensed on his body.

Zizi!

The acid fell onto the shield, producing a piercing corrosive sound and sending up plumes of smoke.

The shield surface remained unchanged, with acid continuously sliding down the shield and falling to the ground.

"It didn't cause any damage to the shield... There's no energy boost, it's just a highly corrosive liquid?"

As more acid attacked, Jemin immediately switched his defensive rune to a wind element shield.

An invisible wind membrane flowed across his body. When the acidic liquid came into contact with the wind membrane, it was guided by a subtle force, deflected from his sides, and shot into the empty space.

The acid mist rising from the corroded land was also blown away elsewhere by the airflow carried by the wind shield.

"Faced with this kind of kinetic attack with weak impact, the wind element shield's deflection effect is better than expected, and it is particularly effective against fog-type attacks."

Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, the lizard beasts rushed out from their hiding places, intending to tear them apart.

Seeing the opportunity, Jemin activated the attack rune artifact.

laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!
Four fireballs condensed from his fingertips in less than a second and shot out, hurtling towards the beast charging at the front with astonishing speed.

The raging fire element caused the fireball to expand in size during its flight, making it incredibly powerful.

Before the four wild beasts could even get close, they were engulfed by the continuous explosions, only managing a short, mournful howl before turning into charred remains and bits of flesh.

The other lizards were terrified by what they saw and turned to run away without hesitation.

Jemin didn't stop. He moved forward while adjusting the output frequency of his attack runes, trying to achieve even more extreme rapid fire.

The talisman artifact was slightly warm, but it could still maintain the release of fireballs three to four times per second.

Like a walking turret, Jemin precisely picked off the remaining lizard beasts one by one.

The battle... or rather the massacre, ended in a very short time.

Jemin stepped forward and used analytical and alchemical techniques to scan the remains, collecting some samples of the stratum corneum and residual acid from the body.

"The attack rune's instantaneous and rapid-fire capabilities far surpass those of ordinary wizards, but with high-frequency use, the rune itself heats up a little faster than in the training ground. Perhaps the dimensional elements are too active, the activation efficiency is too high, and the energy release cannot keep up with the material's heat dissipation rate."

Jemin analyzed in his mind: "Do I still need to find a way to add heat dissipation or energy buffering structures to the rune material?" He activated the movement rune again and left the lizard beast's nest.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, Jemin soon encountered another beast that was enormous yet exceptionally agile.

These beasts have bodies that look like giant apes, but their heads have worm-like skulls.

They possess formidable physical strength, are adept at leaping and climbing on rocky cliffs, and their attacks are powerful and heavy.

Jemin chose a lone giant ape as his target.

Instead of attacking directly, he lured his opponent into pursuit, then traversed the complex terrain to test the movement runes' performance in evasion and change of direction.

The giant ape roared and pursued from behind, constantly launching attacks from above or the side.

Using the movement rune, Jemin sometimes glided along the ground, sometimes leaped into the air, and sometimes briefly used the cliff for leverage. Every change of direction was as smooth as flowing water.

While dodging, Jemin tried to maximize the power of the movement seal.

The wind element formed a visible vortex of air around his body, and his speed increased again.

However, the extreme high speed was maintained for less than a minute before the moving rune began to emit an overload beeping sound, and the rune patterns on its surface became abnormally hot.

He had to immediately reduce the power to allow it to cool down.

"The movement rune far surpasses the standard flight spell in terms of basic speed and agility, but its ability to maintain high speed is a weakness. The duration of its extreme state is much shorter than that of a wizard's autonomous flight spell," he concluded.

After all, one relies on material buffers, while the other relies on the wizard's own spiritual sea for guidance, which is indeed a considerable difference.

After thoroughly understanding the limits of the movement rune, Jemin switched from defense to offense, instantly throwing out several full-power fireballs. The giant ape's massive body crashed to the ground under the continuous blows.

Jemin stepped forward to collect the materials.

The giant ape's fur and bones are extremely strong, and may be used to improve defensive rune artifacts.

In the days that followed, Jemin conducted his "experiments" in different regions of the Savage Plane.

He faced a pangolin-like beast that could burrow underground to launch sneak attacks. He tried to use alchemy to analyze the geological structure to help determine the beast's location, and used fireballs to create a sea of ​​fire to scorch the ground and force it to appear.

He also encountered some strange plants that could spray poisonous mist or entangle prey, giving Jemin a lot of novel materials.

Every battle, every encounter, is a test of the performance of the rune artifacts.

He constantly pushes the limits of the talismanic artifacts, records data, and analyzes the results.

In addition to the usual heat dissipation issues, he also noticed another limitation of the rune artifacts—the depletion of regional elements.

During a high-intensity, continuous fireball attack, he felt the surrounding fire element being completely drained in a short time, greatly reducing the efficiency and power of subsequent fireball runes.

After all, although the talismanic artifacts have performance far exceeding those of their peers, they have obvious limits under continuous high-intensity use, and they are not truly "infinite energy"; rather, the energy source has been transferred from inside the artifact to the external environment.

Once the elemental power within a region is depleted, although the surrounding elemental power will quickly gather, the concentration will remain relatively low for a short period of time.

Jemin didn't have a good solution for this at the moment, so he could only move quickly while casting spells.
