Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 217 adds the Shadow Werewolf's Dark Energy Magic System

A week later, Su Nan began his arduous studies. He first used a large number of mental enhancement potions to construct the spell model of the first-level spell, [Single Target Potent Injection], in his mind.

Because this spell was created from a combination of 0.7-level potion magic and was developed by Su Nan himself, he successfully constructed the [Single-Target Potent Injection Spell] in his mind a week later.

On the contrary, Su Nan has been learning the first-circle spell, the Niche Reversal Spell, which he learned from the Oak Wizard for over a month, but he has only constructed less than a third of the spell model.

This wasn't his own magic, after all.

Moreover, this is based on the fact that he has been drinking a lot of Flash Potions, Mental Enhancement Potions, and Concentration Potions to improve his meditation efficiency and the speed at which he can replenish his lost mental energy.

An ordinary wizard would probably need a day to rest after spending half a day building a spell model in his mind, since it consumes too much mental energy.

Just like with human fitness, if someone is exceptionally gifted and their muscles recover faster than others, then the amount of time they can train each day could be several times longer than others.

Su Nan himself didn't have any special talent for restoring mental strength; it was simply because he took drugs!

Almost all of his mental strength came from taking drugs.

Moreover, this kind of mental strength is of higher quality than the mental strength gained through hard work in meditation.

After all, the purity of one's spiritual power is greatly influenced by the quality of the meditation method and one's own talent.

As for whether or not someone can take the drug, it depends on the skill of the person who concocts it.

While continuing to learn the [Neclipse Reversal Spell], Su Nan also crafted a potion that grants +1 Flash, +2 Life Essence Concentration, and +6 Mental Strength Enhancement.

The main ingredients for the Flash+1 potion, besides sage, also include giant spirulina.

The main ingredients for the Essence of Life Concentration +2 potion, in addition to the oak leaves from the Oak Wizard's Tower, the flowers of the giant sunflower, a spoonful of spring water from the Fountain of Life, and the giant radish from the Garden of the Four Seasons, now also include a giant cow-patterned mushroom unique to the Garden of the Four Seasons.

The main ingredients for the +6 Mental Strength potion, besides licorice, ginseng, jujube seed, black tea leaves, and centella asiatica, also include kale.

Inside the attic of Peter Castle, Su Nan concocted these three magical potions in a single day, and then drank them in turn.

However, whether it was the Spirit Enhancement +6, Flash +1, or Concentration +2 potion, all of them continuously drained Su Nan's spirit power while increasing it, making it impossible to actually improve his spirit power.

Mental strength 100, that's the current upper limit of mental strength in Su Nan!

Southern Jiangsu is like a vase filled with water; no matter how much water you pour in, it will only overflow.

At this moment, Su Nan finally realized just how deeply repulsive and exhausting this limitation that restricted the wizard's soul to a hundredfold increase was.

He is now standing on the foundation of wizarding civilization and can still find a lot of ways to solve the problem, but how desperate must those earliest wizards have been when they encountered the limits of soul enhancement and the limits of pure-blooded humans?

The earliest wizards must have gone through great hardships to forge their own path, and this crucial point became the dividing line between formal wizards and wizard apprentices.

Thinking this through, Su Nan thought, "That's how a wizard should be. Finding the possible path from the impossible. Overturning everything!"

"To pave a new path for civilization."

"We are forever on the path of exploration and discovery, never stopping and never tiring of it."

At the same time, Su Nan began a new round of potion making. Because of his previous contact with the magic system of the underworld, the swarm absorbed the arcane system and became the arcane swarm. Meanwhile, the werewolf chose to become the shadow werewolf during his fourth ascension, possessing a dual magic shell of darkness and strength.

The Shadow Werewolf is a werewolf who can fuse with the dark energy magic system to become a dark magic melee fighter in the magic world!

Therefore, the Shadow Werewolves had not yet realized their full potential.

It's just that Su Nan didn't have time to go and complete this task.

At this time, Su Nan spent another week using the ether stones of the underground world and through the Rye Mistress who had begun to partially cooperate with him, he had her infuse the four types of dark energy magic into the White Leaf Tree sap stabilizing potion.

In return, Su Nan reduced the number of experiments he conducted using the Rye Mother to separate arcane bloodlines.

Next, Su Nan used [White Egret Flower, Konjac Flower, Rafflesia, Black Tulip, Black Lily, and Black Mica Ore, and Jade Ore from the Underworld] to extract the magic power of the four dark energy spells equivalent to 0.7 rings cast by the Rye Matriarch. He refined them into potions and then had his Shadow Werewolves drink them, thus gaining the ability to cast these four spells.

These are: [Dark Energy Claw], [Dark Energy Shockwave], [Dark Energy Wave Sphere], and [Dark Energy Pillar].

Because Shadow Werewolves possess a Dark Energy Suppression Shell, they naturally possess Dark Energy Enchantment attacks. For example, their claws are already imbued with Dark Energy when attacking enemies.

Without even needing to actively cast spells, this passive ability already surpasses that of second-class wizard apprentices in the Evocation School and the Dark Energy direction, and even some weaker first-class wizard apprentices.

Therefore, after drinking the four dark energy enhancement potions, Blom, Warwick, Wolf One, Wolf Two, Wolf Three, and himself, they mastered these four dark energy spells without much pressure.

It's as simple as drinking water.

【Dark Energy Claw】 is a mid-range dark energy claw attack that involves swinging a claw forward. However, because dark energy decays very quickly, the power of this attack is generally weak; a 0.7-ring dark energy magic power can be reduced to less than a 0.4-ring.

However, if the werewolf activates this ability directly on its own claws, then it's a different story; essentially, this is the eighth claw-type skill.

【Dark Energy Shockwave】will suddenly unleash a dark energy shockwave the instant the werewolf's claws make contact with the enemy, knocking the enemy away.

This additional potion ability will prevent the Shadow Werewolf's enemies from effectively blocking or defending.

Because you can use dark energy shockwaves to knock enemies away.

[Dark Energy Wave Ball] Similar to the Dark Energy Claw, the Shadow Werewolf launches a wave ball entangled with dark energy forward to launch a mid-range attack on the enemy, or to launch a direct attack during melee combat.

Using the Shadow Werewolf's sixfold immortality and Dark Energy Magic Shell, a Dark Energy Wave Ball is created to attack the opponent.

The [Pillar of Dark Energy] strikes the ground, causing dark energy to move and transfer across the surface. At the desired location, a pillar of dark energy erupts from the ground upwards, continuously damaging the target!

This ability can effectively suppress enemies attempting to launch a mid-to-long-range attack against the werewolf, or it can preemptively disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm.

With these four dark energy spells, Su Nan's werewolf's lack of mid-range combat ability was compensated.

In this way, the Shadow Werewolf becomes a mid-to-close range magic combat expert!

However, Su Nan didn't strengthen Vasilian much during this week, since there weren't many potions left to add to Vasilian's level.

Only after becoming a formal wizard can one gain a commanding perspective and move forward.
