Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

The nodes of the magic circle were intricate, and Roy spent two whole hours drawing them, his fingertips raw and bleeding. He couldn't help but wonder how much time the owner of the notebook had spent recording this magic circle on the paper.

He deliberately left an open gap. Once the magic array closes, it will immediately activate, forcibly drawing the essence of his blood into his body through every pore of his skin.

—When the blood is fully integrated, you will feel the bloodline abilities you have gained, and your physical fitness will also improve.

Soraya said to him.

However, this imprecise fusion also brings side effects.

—The side effects are numerous and unpredictable. A normal fusion can cause side effects like what you described with Drock, where using bloodline abilities results in hair growing all over the body and the body gradually transforming into that of a wild beast. But there are also possibilities…

She paused deliberately, leaving a cliffhanger.

—Forget it, that possibility is too small. You should try to merge them first.

possibility?

What are the possibilities?

Roy was completely bewildered.

Soraya's riddle made him somewhat flustered.

However, she said it was a low-probability event, so I guess... I won't be that unlucky, right?

He stood in the center of the circular magic circle, squatted down, and used the last bit of blood he had left to outline the final pattern.

The moment you stand up straight, your blood suddenly flows backward, penetrating your body through your pores, nostrils, ears—anywhere there is an opening.

Less than three minutes later, Roy exhaled a breath of stale air, and the pain in his body finally subsided.

He discreetly examined himself with the metal plate and discovered that the bloodline fusion was not yet complete. It seemed that, like a pill taking effect in the body, it required a process.

The next moment, a strong sense of drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed me.

……

When Roy woke up, it was already late at night.

An unidentified lamp emitted a soft glow, casting dappled light on Soraya's profile, making her appear even more mysterious and ethereal.

--woke up?

Soraya looked up from between the pages of the book and gazed at him.

Roy was still a little drowsy, his head feeling like it was wrapped in cotton, as if he hadn't slept enough. He turned his head to look at Karazhan, who was drooling over the Old Byronian Bible, and at that moment, he actually wished he could fall asleep again like him.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

A mere bloodline fusion has made him so lazy!

"Does bloodline fusion make people so sleepy...?" He yawned, tears welling up in his eyes.

That's not the case.

Soraya interrupted her sternly.

Your excessive sleepiness is a side effect. Moreover, it's a more serious side effect than bodily aberrations.

"Huh?" Roy was dumbfounded.

Is this the low-probability event Soraya was talking about? Did he just happen to encounter it?

—A more terrifying side effect than alienation is the change in behavior. The habits of a lion…

Roy suddenly remembered.

Male lions are extremely sleepy creatures.

Compared to lionesses that go out hunting, their mission is merely to defend their territory and assert their dominance over enemies. Most of the time, they simply roar to scare away their adversaries.

In addition, they have an enormous appetite, capable of swallowing more than ten kilograms of meat at a time, so they need to keep their bodies still to drive the operation of their digestive system.

Combined, the lion's life becomes stretching, yawning, and moving to another patch of grass to continue sleeping.

They can even sleep up to 20 hours a day.

With four hours remaining, if they go out hunting, they will unleash all the accumulated energy at once.

That is, conserve energy for a concentrated burst of power.

Roy, on the other hand, picked up this habit.

Fortunately, the concentration of the Lothar Lion bloodline in your body is not high.

The thought that Soraya conveyed was clearly a soft laugh.

Otherwise, I really would have to sleep 20 hours a day like a lion.

Despite this, he slept for 12 hours straight.

"If I expend a lot of energy while I'm awake, I'll sleep even longer," Roy had this feeling.

As we all know, mental labor is also a form of physical exertion.

Doesn't this mean his study time will be drastically reduced from now on?

Limiting a top student's study time is an absolute torture!

With his conscious time drastically reduced, Roy felt a strong sense of urgency. He immediately examined himself, confirming that the bloodline fusion was complete and that the concentration of the Lotel Lion bloodline within him was as high as 2.1%.

He then focused his attention on the skill bar, where a new Lv.1 skill had been added.

"strengthen?"

Although his mental attribute is still at 1.4, which is not enough to understand the details of Delock's "Lion's Roar", it seems that the mental attribute threshold required for the skills he possesses has been lowered.

With ease, his spiritual power broke through that thin layer of paper.

Level 1 enhancement can only strengthen muscles, that is, make punching power stronger, or enhance the legs, and burst out with speed far exceeding the normal speed in an instant.

As for higher-level enhancements, although he couldn't see the effects clearly, he estimated that they might enhance blood flow or directly strengthen organs.

Strengthening the lungs increases oxygen supply, allowing him to maintain peak performance during prolonged, strenuous exercise. Strengthening the heart accelerates blood circulation, resulting in greater explosive power. Most importantly, strengthening the kidneys…

Roy shook his head, clearing his mind of those chaotic thoughts. Besides his bloodline ability, the improvement in his attributes was equally significant: his strength rose to 4.5, and his constitution reached 3.8, equivalent to nearly a month of breathing technique training.

He clenched his fists, his strong muscles bulging. No wonder Drogon risked being discovered to fuse bloodlines one by one. The advantage of the wizarding system—being able to improve without long periods of training—was on full display at this moment.

Looking at the bulging muscles on his arms, Roy suddenly remembered something.

"Miss Soraya, is there any way to get rid of my muscle tension?"

Leylin once said that Hist overcame the weakness of muscle tension during the fight. Moreover, according to Roy's observation, Hist not only did not exert any force in his arm muscles, but all the muscles in his body showed no offensive reaction whatsoever.

To outsiders, each of his attacks seemed to appear out of thin air, leaving Leylin defenseless, which was the most terrifying aspect of his actions.

--have.

Soraya answered crisply and decisively.

—The bloodline ability of the [Mimetic Octopus]: fluid muscles.

Mimicking an octopus?

Roy's heart skipped a beat.

This is yet another existing species on Earth.

It is an octopus that uses mimicry as its main defense mechanism. It can imitate various marine creatures, not only their body shape but also their movements, making it a master of mimicry in the animal kingdom.

In terms of characteristics, besides mimicry and fluid muscles, this creature possesses outstanding decision-making abilities. When encountering a predator, it will mimic the predator's natural enemy to prevent it from getting close, while when hunting prey, it will mimic harmless fish, approaching silently.

In addition, there are eight tentacles, each capable of performing different actions independently.

To be honest, Roy was tempted by both the mimicry and fluid muscle abilities. Of course, he also wanted tentacles, but those were outside the scope of application for bloodline wizards.

The flesh-and-blood faction of wizards can graft biological organs onto the human body, while bloodline wizards mainly focus on developing bloodline abilities.

Soraya's next words instantly shattered Roy's memory of the mimicry octopus's characteristics.

—The mimicry octopus is an extraordinary creature.
