Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 8 Ice Cone, Fireball, Wind Blade
Have we reached a bottleneck?

Is this something a normal person would say?
You only awakened your mage class this morning, and before a day has even passed, you've already reached the magic limit of a level 1 mage.

Once the limit of magical power is reached, magical power can no longer increase.

Normally, aside from leveling up to the next level, this is already the maximum magic power of a level 1 mage.

Lu Cang sensed that his magic power was no longer increasing and couldn't help but ask, "But... can't I level up?"

Lu Cang had also considered that there might be some kind of level-based system in this world.

Those geniuses who reach a certain level suppress their own level and hone their skills to the extreme at that level, then level up and crush other strong individuals at the same level.

Lu Cang felt that Izzy and the others were the same way, actually seeing how respected they were.

Lu Cang also had some secret guesses in his heart.

Perhaps, Izzy and his friends aren't as weak as they think.

The level cap in this world may not be as high as you think.

Izzy thought for a moment and replied, "If you want to upgrade, it will indeed be quick."

"But for you, it's better to break through the limit of magic power first."

"Now that you've broken through the limits of magic, your total amount of magic will be greater after the upgrade, and you'll also have a stronger ability to withstand magic depletion."

"Even if you overdo the spell, it's less likely to cause serious consequences. At worst, you won't fall into a coma."

Izparut explained.

It seems there are quite a few benefits.

Moreover, we have already witnessed the harm of overusing spells.

Lu Cang couldn't guarantee that such a situation wouldn't happen to him in the future.

Perhaps in certain battles, even if it means exhausting all their magic power, they will still have to unleash that crucial skill...

Moreover, for a mage, having a high mana pool is definitely not a bad thing.

"I understand, Master Iz."

Lu Cang held Izzy in high esteem.

After all, he was the mentor who led him onto the path of magic, and this magical tide was also created and programmed by him.

Iz glanced out the window; it was now completely dark.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the dungeon tomorrow."

A dungeon?

Finally, it's time to run the dungeon!

Since arriving in this world, Lu Cang has not yet encountered any monsters.

Several lightning strikes were unleashed, but they only blew up the floor and the air.

Skills really do feel more real when you're fighting monsters.

And my current mana level.

Compared to when I first became a mage, I have probably improved by more than a hundred times.

The total amount of magic power may not be an ocean, but it is certainly a large lake.

If I were to cast Lightning Strike again now, I could cast it thousands of times without stopping.

In addition, the Magic Tide can not only increase the total amount of mana, but also be used to restore mana.

The actual number of times it can be released should be more.

"it is good!"

The thought of going to fight monsters made Lu Cang excited.

Perhaps it's because my body is that of a child, and I'm more or less affected by it, so I'm always prone to anticipation, excitement, and agitation.

I'm full of curiosity about the world, perhaps because of my age.

"Hmm... it's getting late today."

"I was planning to spend the whole night learning Magic Tide, but it seems that's not necessary."

Let's rest today.

"However, for security reasons, I need to take this book back first."

Iz snatched the "Magic Enhancement" from in front of Lu Cang.

"If you can't resist your curiosity and secretly learn the forbidden techniques recorded later, it might harm you."

If someone else had gotten hold of the book, Izzy wouldn't have this worry.

Forbidden techniques are not something you can learn just by wanting to.

Rather, even if Izzy is willing to teach, the students may not necessarily be able to learn it.

But Lu Cang before me...

The terrifying talent he displayed meant he could possibly learn these forbidden techniques overnight.

Iz, holding the book, opened the door.

Before leaving, he sighed softly and instructed Lu Cang: "Lu Cang, you have great talent, but that may not always be a good thing. The knowledge of the demonic path needs to be learned step by step. In the process of exploring the demonic path, you also need to know what you can learn and what you cannot learn."

"Exposing oneself to certain taboo knowledge too early can also cause great harm."

"As for what knowledge is harmful and what knowledge is worth learning, I will teach you slowly."

Izzy gave special instructions, but in reality, most people don't need to worry about seeing forbidden knowledge.

Because most taboo knowledge is difficult to understand, and even if one comes into contact with it, one may not be able to comprehend it.

However, Lu Cang's extraordinary talent does indeed require special attention and guidance.

Lu Cang nodded repeatedly.

"Understood, Master Iz." "However, may I learn other Tier 1 spells?"

"I slept too long today, and I'm worried I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Iz thought for a moment, and the space in front of her fluctuated.

Then three different spellbooks appeared in his hands.

[Ice Cone] [Fireball] [Wind Blade]

Iz asked, "That should be enough. Sleep when you're tired of studying. We need to have enough energy for tomorrow's dungeon raid."

Lu Cang nodded: "Mhm."

Iz left.

After leaving behind the three spellbooks, Lu Cang rubbed his hands together, somewhat impatient.

Turn to the spell page of the Ice Spike spell.

"Ice that freezes everything."

"To coalesce into a sharp cone."

"Pierce it."

This time, Lu Cang didn't use his staff; he simply raised one hand towards the window.

Shila-

The cold air condensed into ice, forming an icicle the size of a palm.

"Has learned the spell - Ice Spike (LV: 1)"

"Ice Cone Proficiency EXP +10000"

"Ice Spike (LV: 5)"

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as learning lightning strike techniques.

Lu Cang sang again.

"The chill condenses into a cone, piercing through!"

Whoosh!
The Ice Spike spell shot into the sky with a whooshing sound!

"Ice Spike (LV: 8) - Shorter casting time, faster rate of fire"

"Ice pick!"

Ice cones are regenerating!

Whoosh!
It shot out again with a whooshing sound!
"Ice Spike (LV: 10) - No casting time, faster rate of fire, larger ice spikes"

Swish!
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
Three ice spikes were fired into the sky in quick succession, each one faster, larger, and more translucent.

"Ice Spike (LV: 16 - No casting time, extremely fast firing rate, larger ice spikes, inflicts extreme cold freeze on hit areas)"
Lu Cang discovered that there was no cooldown time for spellcasting in this world.

As long as you have enough mana and meet the casting conditions, you can keep casting spells.

The speed at which the magic is released, without chanting, is related to the speed at which one's magic is mobilized.

At the same time, Lu Cang also discovered...

Only one spell can be cast at a time. You cannot cast another spell until one spell is completed or canceled.

In other words, it is impossible to cast Ice Spike twice at the same time to achieve a double or triple cast.

It's quite late now.

The hotel I'm staying at is quite nice; Kumironi told me it's the best hotel in town.

The room I was assigned was also very large, with the window facing the hotel's garden, and beyond the garden was the forest. I didn't have to worry about hitting anyone when I threw magic in that direction.

As for the meals...

I had eaten at this hotel with Kumironi and the others before checking in.

Lu Cang actually wants to go out for a walk on his own right now.

But then I thought about how I was in an unfamiliar place.

It's good that we've met good people like Kumironi and his group; what if we encounter bad people when we go out alone?

Getting hit over the head with a club would be bad.

I'll wait until I've improved my skills and have a better understanding of the surrounding area before going on a solo mission.

Ice pick, ice pick, ice pick.

Swish swish swish——

Now, casting spells no longer depletes your magic power after just a few lightning strikes, unlike during the day.

Lu Cang was mindful of his magical power.

Under the influence of the magical tide, the magic power was replenished almost instantly after the Ice Spike spell was cast.

At this rate of recovery, if only Ice Spike is used, it's estimated that there will never be enough mana left.

"Magic Tide (LV: 94)"

Although the total amount of magic power has not increased, each automatic operation of the magic tide still provides 1 proficiency points for the magic tide.

Lu Cang barely managed to raise the level of Magic Tide to 94.

However, after reaching level 90, it takes several thousand runs to level up once.

The speed at which proficiency levels increase has also slowed down considerably.

At this rate, I estimate I'll reach level 100 by tomorrow morning.

As for the Ice Cone Technique, it quickly reached level 71 under Lu Cang's mechanical and continuous casting.

"Ice Cone (LV: 71) - No casting time, five consecutive shots, auto-lock, extremely fast speed and turning, ice explosion upon hit, freezes upon hit, very large ice cone."
