Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Is it possible... that this frost dragon is a social species?" Richard wondered.

Most dragons are accustomed to living alone, and they usually leave on their own after raising their offspring to the point that they can hunt prey independently.

Of course, some choose to live in groups. It is said that there is a dragon kingdom in the Wizarding Kingdom, where there are all kinds of dragons, and each dragon has countless dragon descendants following it.

"I knew it... that attack I made back then..." Richard murmured.

He finally understood why that battle had been so difficult.

"That Dulink transplanted dragon skin and a dragon's heart!" Richard said gravely.

Upon hearing this, Jon also dropped his previous nonchalant expression, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

"What level is his frost dragon?" Finn dared not guess further. If it was a level two wizard's frost dragon, then...

"It must be a frost dragon that has reached the level of a second-level wizard, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand my strongest attack," Richard said helplessly.

Then he changed the subject and said, "However, his transplant probably didn't go very smoothly. At the time, I could only see the dragon scale pattern on his frosty skin, but the dragon scales hadn't grown yet."

The scene fell silent, and everyone's eyes were now on Jon Snow, who was in the main seat and was responsible for killing Dulink.

Jon said seriously, "If that's the case, then Dulink is in trouble, especially with a level two Frostbone Beast."

Finn said, "Leave the Frostbone Beast to me."

Richard said, "We will clear all obstacles, Lord Jon, so you can focus on dealing with that dragonborn dwarf."

Then Richard's expression turned serious, and he addressed the crowd:

"Therefore, from this day forward, Everfrost Spire will officially engage in a decisive battle with the Frostskin Dwarves. All strategic resources will be available, and the battle merit system will be activated. We will recreate the glory of Everfrost Spire's founder, 'Winter Spellcaster'—Karim Helkan!"

Beside him, a glint of fighting spirit flashed across Jon Snow's face as he excitedly said, "Dragonborn, I really want to dissect his body and study him properly."

……

Inside the forest, the Shadowweavers were running for their lives, while in the distance, the Dragonborn Frostskin Dwarf tried to pull off the slime but couldn't, so he opened his huge mouth and spewed out a large amount of cold air.

The slime solidified upon contact with the intense cold air, and the dragonborn dwarf delivered a powerful punch forward.

"Snap—Clang!"

The slime clump shattered, and the dragonborn dwarf slowly emerged. He sniffed the air, pinpointed the location, and then rushed over. The apprentice beside Rhys, still maintaining his reconnaissance spell, noticed the dragonborn dwarf's arrival and informed Rhys.

Upon hearing this, Rice immediately roared, "Split up and run! The dragonborn dwarves are catching up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone ran off in different directions, while the dragonborn dwarf behind them realized the intentions of those ahead and took a deep breath.

"Whoosh!" — "Ah!"

The apprentice skilled in detective sorcery was struck by the freezing ray and fell heavily to the ground. The others couldn't spare him any more time to escape, and the apprentice could only tragically await his death.

However, no one noticed that the apprentice's eyes were already filled with black blood, and that the freezing ray had actually been aimed at Rice.

At the same time, a rune on Rice's hand slowly disappeared...

Witchcraft Practice Room

"Hoo... As expected, the power of my sorcery has almost reached that of a third-level wizard apprentice." Hughes glanced at the Frostwolf leader puppet that had been destroyed by his sorcery and muttered to himself.

After this period of seclusion, he specifically rented a private sorcery practice room to test his skills.

The individual practice room not only has sturdy walls and floors, but also features a silver puppet made of imitation metal in the center.

While metal can mimic the form and hardness of various creatures, it cannot mimic magic resistance. And if we're talking about sheer hardness, the Frostwolf Chieftain is the perfect candidate for a third-class wizard apprentice to test the power of their magic.

Hughes had just shattered the Frostwolf leader puppet with only four Frost Blast spells, clearly demonstrating that his magical power alone had reached the level of a third-class wizard apprentice.

Hughes guessed it was related to advanced meditation techniques, after all, his mental runes and magical power far surpassed those of a typical third-class wizard apprentice.

He tried other spells, with similar results. Wiping the sweat from his brow, Hughes prepared for the upcoming mission.

He had heard about what happened at the academy yesterday, and based on the books he had read before, he immediately realized that there were dragonborn among the frost-skinned dwarves, and that Dulink himself might be one.

As soon as the news spread among the apprentices, the Everfrost Spire informed all its members of the impending battle against the Frostskin Dwarves. All the potions they had previously stockpiled were put on sale at cost price, and the amount available that day was quickly snapped up by the apprentices.

Hughes wasn't in a hurry. He even gave Nora some high-quality blood tonics, low-grade antidotes, and some recently refined, qualified Explosive Ointment. Unexpectedly, after Nora accepted them, she also sent him a bottle of Soul Healing Dew.

Hughes was surprised that Nora had found the ingredients so quickly. He asked her and found out that Lily had given them to him. Later, even his junior brother Lily secretly gave him a bottle.

The most exciting thing is the opening of the battle merit system, which is one of the very few opportunities to exchange for some rare resources from the Everfrost Spire.

Hughes glanced around and found that even the Burst Potion, which could increase the probability of a third-class apprentice being promoted to a formal wizard, was available, but the required battle merits were an astronomical figure for Hughes at the moment.

The Everfrost Spire also clearly stipulates that all those whose strength reaches the level of second-class apprentice or above must participate in the war, at which time the academy will assign them their respective tasks.

Hughes's mission has been assigned to him; he will travel to the designated location in a week to meet up with his squad members.

This week, he needs to prepare properly. He will not practice the three low-level magic potions for the time being, but will instead focus on refining the powerful Explosive Flame Ointment.

Meanwhile, his study of the book "Eso Language Notes" was coming to an end, but what surprised him most was that the notes recorded a growth-type magic at the end: Shattering Impact!

Once an apprentice becomes a full-fledged wizard, the power of level zero magic will increase to its maximum if used. However, due to the construction of magic runes and other reasons, the highest level magic that can be used is level one.

At this point, one must learn the corresponding level of witchcraft. Some wizards will modify witchcraft to upgrade it and develop their own style.

This puts a lot of pressure on the mastery of Esso. Of course, there is also a type of magic that automatically upgrades as the user levels up; this is called growth-type magic.

This kind of knowledge is extremely rare and valuable in the Oren plane; there might only be a few of these in the center of the continent.

Hughes took a look and found that the effect of the Shattering Impact was simple: it created an impact force that could ignore space and defenses.

In principle, the Shattering Impact is an attack that targets spatial coordinates. As long as the caster anchors the spatial coordinates to the enemy wizard, the wizard can only withstand the attack with his physical body or disperse the impact.

It is a very powerful form of witchcraft.
