Chapter 4 Lightning Strike

Study...

Actually, I don't really hate studying.

The thought of learning obscure and difficult knowledge from scratch in a strange new world gives me a headache.

"I see."

But it was out of a desire for magic.

Lu Cang still took the magic book from his hands.

Turn to the first page.

The obscure and difficult-to-understand characters—sure enough, they couldn't possibly be Chinese characters.

However, just as he could naturally understand the speech of Kumironi and others, Lu Cang could also understand these strange-looking characters.

Luckily, I could understand it; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

We still have to start by learning to read.

Ah……

This magic book isn't very thick; it only has 35 pages.

However, 19 pages of it mainly discuss history and origins.

"Ah, you don't need to look at the ones before that."

“Just read page 29 first,” Iz said.

Very good, Iz, you are indeed a good teacher. At least you won't tell me a long and tedious history of lightning strikes.

These things are completely unimportant to an apprentice who wants to cast spells.

Lu Cang turned to page 29.

[The incantation for Lightning Strike]

[The raging power of thunder! I summon the thunder's descent, to unleash punishment!]

"As a first-tier spell, Lightning Strike does not require the construction of a casting array."

Iz came to Lu Cang's side.

He handed Lu Cang a slender and lightweight staff, which resembled a conductor's baton.

The top of the staff is inlaid with a bright red gemstone.

"Come, face that open space and chant the incantation."

"Let's see if we can cast a spell."

Lu Cang accepted the staff: "Thank you."

Hearing his teachings, Lu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Is chanting the incantation all that's needed?

But please don't pull out a magic book to scare people.

Lu Cang took a deep breath.

He chanted the incantation he had just seen in the magic book. The characters in the incantation were clearly different from other characters, but he could still understand them and pronounce them.

"Raging thunder power."

The magic power within his body began to surge, and the surrounding lightning element combined with the magic power, gradually becoming a part of himself.

This process is amazing; it's a feeling you can't experience on Earth.

"I call for the thunder to descend."

It's sizzling!

At the tip of the staff, crackling lightning burst forth, arcs of electricity leaping, making Lu Cang's heart skip a beat.

Electric arcs and sparks symbolize danger on Earth.

But these things now are the magic I use.

"Bring down the punishment!"

The chanting is complete!

In that instant, Lu Cang felt as if he had gained control of the power of thunder.

Almost instinctively, the feeling of being able to draw down a bolt of lightning from the sky rose in my heart!
Without hesitation, he swung his staff down!
Accompanied by the waving of the staff!
A thin bolt of lightning struck the earth!

boom!
Lightning Strike!
Lightning struck the earth, leaving a patch of scorched earth on the grassy ground.

"Learned the magic - Lightning Strike (LV: 1)"

"Lightning Strike Proficiency EXP +10000"

"Lightning Strike (LV: 5)"

As the lightning strike landed, a vague realization also came to Lu Cang's mind.

Her understanding of lightning strikes had deepened. "Haha, not bad," Iz laughed, hands on her hips.

"He certainly has a talent for magic!"

Kumironi was also slightly surprised and praised, "You actually released the lightning strike after only reading the incantation once."

Lu Cang asked curiously, "Isn't this how it should normally be?"

Kumironi smiled slightly and shook his head in response, "No, normally after a magician receives a spellbook, he needs to carefully read the records in the spellbook and feel the flow of magic power according to the described methods."

"After simulating the flow of magic, we communicate with the corresponding elements, and the last step is to chant the incantation."

"If you still can't cast the spell, you'll have to reread the spellbook and try to understand it several times."

Oh ho... I see.

No wonder he took out a magic book to show me. I even said that if it only required chanting incantations, he could have just told me verbally.

But it seems that I might actually have some magical talent.

However, it could also be an effect brought about by talent.

"God - Proficiency Evolution"

"New skills are easier to master, and the improvement in proficiency for any skill is ten thousand times greater than usual."

"Once the proficiency requirements are met, the skills you've mastered can evolve."

"Being able to see the progress of skill mastery"

Perhaps it was because of this talent that he learned the lightning strike spell on his first chant.

of course……

It's also possible that it's just that he has a high natural talent for magic.

Lu Cang sighed inwardly as he looked at the open space in the distance.

I was just about to chant the incantation I had just recited.

But suddenly another feeling arose in my heart, as if the incantation could be shorter.

"Lightning Strike (LV: 5) - Casting time shortened, power slightly increased"

"Thunder descends, bringing punishment!"

Shorter, faster chanting.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, another bolt of lightning struck!
The first strike was merely a thin bolt of lightning, as thin as a rope, but the second strike was so thick that it was as thick as an arm!

It's also much more powerful!
"Chanting... shortened?"

Kumiloni's face was filled with surprise.

This child, on only the second time he cast the spell, had already shortened the incantation.
His magical talent really does resemble Izzy's to some extent.

"Again!" Iz was also excited when she saw Lu Cang's magic.

He hadn't seen a true genius in a long time.

Lu Cang nodded!

"Lightning Strike (LV: 8) - Shorter casting time, moderately increased power"

"Thunder!"

boom!
The third spellcasting only used two bytes!
And the speaking speed is even faster!
The instant the character "霆" fell!
The lightning had already struck!
This lightning bolt was larger and thicker, and after it struck the ground, a faint arc of electricity remained!

"Lightning Strike (LV: 10) - No casting time, significantly increased power"

Swish!
Lu Cang's heart was surging with emotion!

He felt the magical energy within his body surging, connecting with the lightning!
The vast sky and earth resonate with the soul!
Wave the wand again!

boom!
A purple bolt of electricity struck down like a giant python! Then, immediately afterward, a second bolt followed! A third bolt!
"Proficiency Level Up - Lightning Strike (LV: 12)"

"Proficiency Level Up - Lightning Strike (LV: 14)"

"Proficiency Level Up - Lightning Strike (LV: 16) - No casting time, double lightning strike, greater power"

boom!
From the fourth cast onwards, it was a completely chant-free spellcasting.

This child's talent in magic is truly terrifying.

boom!
Boom boom!

Lightning swept across the land, scorching the grassy ground into patches of burnt earth, while the unnoticed, charred ground was always soaked by gentle streams of water.

It's a good thing to enjoy casting spells.

Iz didn't want to spoil the fun that the child who loved casting spells had.

It feels so good to control supernatural powers, it feels amazing to be able to unleash magic!
I'm a magician now!
It feels great to be able to command the wind and rain.

Suddenly, a feeling of dizziness came over me.

Why do I feel like my vision is going black?
