Baron Cullen

Chapter 43 A True Prodigy

"Dual professions?!"

Upon hearing this, not only Cecilia and Helen, but also the other apprentices in the classroom couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Although they had just finished their meditation, and some of them had not even successfully awakened yet, they had done their homework on the knowledge of the extraordinary realm.

Those who possess dual professions understand better than anyone what it means to an extraordinary individual.

They had thought such things were just rumors that only appeared in ancient books, but now they were witnessing them in real life!

At this moment, Helen was shocked, but she also began to admire Karen even more.

Such a person is willing to give his life for his family, and after achieving certain success, he is not arrogant or complacent but continues to work hard.

She respected this kind of person the most in her life, and it was the kind of person she always wanted to become.

Bringing her thoughts back, Helen readily agreed.

She led Karen and her brother, along with their many apprentices, to a quiet practice room.

"The foundation of modern magic lies in guiding and manipulating the extraordinary elements of the outside world, and then constructing corresponding magical circuits to release magic." Helen began to explain patiently and in detail. "I heard that you helped the association point out the rules and essence of two types of blood magic, so I suppose you are not unfamiliar with magic."

Taking the most commonly used "Fireball" spell as an example, you first need to understand the principles of the gathering, compression, and bursting of fire elements.

Then, by constructing a complete magical model in one's mind, and finally guiding the extraordinary elements to operate according to the model, one can successfully unleash the magic.

Karen didn't dare to delay at all.

He immediately and quietly activated the mysterious runes deep within his right eye, examining them closely.

Helen explained while demonstrating herself.

She stretched out her right hand and chanted a short incantation.

Extraordinary elements surged rapidly around her, and then a fist-sized, blazing fireball quickly condensed and hovered above her palm.

"This is the structural diagram of the 'Fireball' spell." Helen handed Karen a piece of parchment with intricate lines and nodes. "You can try to understand and memorize it first. Building a magical model takes time to practice, and you can't rush this process."

Karen took the parchment, glanced at it carefully, and then closed her eyes.

With the help of mysterious runes, the magical model of "Fireball" appeared clearly in his mind like a 3D projection.

Every path of the extraordinary element's operation, every node, now appeared to him as simple and easy to understand as reading lines on the palm of his hand.

For him, building the model was like assembling building blocks according to clear blueprints, with almost no difficulty.

In just over ten seconds, Karen opened her eyes and extended her right hand.

He didn't even chant the corresponding incantation; all that could be seen was the extraordinary element surging around him, followed by a whoosh!

A fireball exactly the same as the one Helen had just created instantly took shape!

The fireball burned steadily in Karen's palm, radiating a scorching heat.

For a moment, Helen's expression froze completely.

Her mouth was slightly open, but the few words she wanted to say to Karen were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

Cecilia and the other apprentices stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, unable to believe what they were seeing.

This...this is a success?

The magic that ordinary apprentices need to learn for two or three months, and even some talented apprentices need to ponder for a month to master, was learned by this man after just one look.

They even saw Karen conjure a fireball out of thin air as if he had snapped his fingers, without even chanting a spell!

"Uh... Brother, did you... secretly learn magic before?" Cecilia's little face was filled with disbelief.

She originally thought that she had already achieved quite a feat by practicing hard for a week and managing to condense a little spark.

But seeing her brother's behavior now, she was so shocked that she didn't know what words to use to describe it.

"It seems you explained it well, Ms. Helen." Karen maintained her composure, feigning humility as she dispelled the fireball, and smiled, "You are indeed an excellent instructor!"

Hearing this, Helen could only take a deep breath.

She suppressed her shock and tried to keep her voice steady: "Very...very good. Baron Karen, your magical talent is indeed as the vice president said, comparable to a prodigy."

"Now I'll demonstrate two more basic first-tier spells: 'Wind Blade' and 'Hard Rock Barrier'."

As she spoke, she first handed Karen the model diagrams of the two first-tier spells, and then began to demonstrate and explain them.

This time, however, her eyes were fixed on Karen as she demonstrated and explained.

She was eager to know what kind of talent allowed someone to master a spell after seeing it only once.

However, just as she finished her demonstration and explanation and before she could see anything amiss, Karen in front of her closed her eyes just like before.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's astonishment, the extraordinary elements gathered in Karen's left palm suddenly transformed into a swirling vortex!

This whirlwind wasn't as obviously visible as other spells, but it constantly emitted subtle sounds of wind breaking.

At the same time, he suddenly clenched his raised right hand.

A semi-transparent, pale yellow barrier appeared out of thin air!

Although the pale yellow barrier was not large in area, its structure was extremely complete, and after it was formed, it covered his entire right arm at an extremely fast speed.

As these two spells appeared, the people around them were shocked, and some even took two steps back.

Without a doubt, these two spells are none other than "Wind Blade" and "Hard Rock Barrier," both first-tier spells!

It succeeded instantly, just like before, and still without needing to chant any spells!

The practice room fell into a deathly silence.

Of all the people present, Helen was the most shocked.

As a third-tier mage, and with her own considerable talent, she saw far more than Cecilia and the other apprentices beside her.

In her eyes, Karen not only mastered both spells instantly, but also demonstrated an extremely high level of proficiency in both spells!

When a normal mage first masters "Wind Blade," without exception, they will lose control of its spinning speed, causing it to disintegrate or be thrown away.

This is why the association requires everyone to practice spells like "Wind Blade" in an open space.

Because it can easily cause accidental injury.

Before she could even give a warning, Karen had already condensed the wind blade into shape and even perfectly controlled it in her palm, without showing any signs of dissipation or instability!

As for the other type of magic, "Hard Rock Barrier".

Although accidental injury is unlikely, beginners, lacking sufficient control precision, usually only create the shield in front of themselves and use it as a shield.

But the moment the young man in front of her released the "Hard Rock Barrier", he was able to perfectly cover her right arm!

It's important to know that even some experienced second-tier mages might not be able to achieve this level of proficiency and control over first-tier magic.

It is only through extensive practice and exceptional talent that someone like her can achieve perfect control after reaching the level of a third-tier mage, relying on the immense extraordinary elements within her body, coupled with rich experience and proficiency.

terrible!

She realized at that moment that the man in front of her did not possess talent comparable to a monster.

Rather, it is a monster in itself!
