Wizard: I Have a Nightmare World

Over the next few days, Lynn's life became extremely regular.

The mornings are used for meditation to enhance mental strength and attempt to reach the threshold of a third-class apprentice.

The afternoon is used to build new witchcraft models and solidify one's combat skills.

In the evenings, they practiced potion preparation in preparation for the upcoming conscription.

Entering the nightmare world at midnight, one repeatedly refines the experience accumulated during the day.

However, Lynn always felt that relying solely on wind elemental magic was too simplistic.

"If I encounter an enemy with high wind resistance, I'll be completely helpless."

Lynn stood in the incubation room, watching a cyan wind blade continuously swirling in his palm.

He dispersed the wind blades and took out several other books on zero-ring magic tricks that he had borrowed from the library from his spatial ring.

Fireball Technique: Zero-Ring Basics

Stone Armor Technique: Earth Element Protection Basics

Water Curtain Technique: Defense and Purification

Three different magic tricks, each corresponding to a different battle scenario.

Fireball can provide area damage and a burning effect, making it naturally effective against certain fire-sensitive creatures.

Stone Armor provides a layer of rock armor, enhancing physical defense and proving very useful when facing direct confrontation.

The Water Curtain spell can create a water shield, which can not only reduce the damage of fire and wind magic, but also has a certain purifying effect, and may have an unexpected effect in combating corrupting energy.

"Time is limited, so we can't be greedy."

Lynn flipped through the three books and finally chose [Stone Armor Technique] and [Water Curtain Technique].

Although the fireball spell is quite powerful, he currently lacks experience in controlling flames, making the probability of accidentally injuring himself in battle too high.

Stone Armor and Water Curtain are both passive or semi-passive defensive abilities, essentially providing an extra layer of protection, which is more suitable for his current needs.

With his extensive experience in model building, coupled with the endless trial and error in the Nightmare World, Lynn completed the construction of the magic models for [Stone Armor] and [Water Curtain] within two days.

On the morning of the third day, Lynn stood in the center of the incubation room and took a deep breath.

With a thought, the model of the Stone Armor Technique was activated, and a layer of grayish-brown semi-transparent light appeared on his body, condensing into a thin layer of rock-like armor that covered his torso and the main joints of his limbs.

He then activated the Water Curtain spell, and a layer of light blue water curtain unfolded in front of him, like a semi-transparent shield, floating in the air and flowing slowly.

"Double defense, much safer now."

Lynn removed the two layers of protection, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

After several days of intensive training, his mental strength level steadily increased from 4.6 to 5.2, leaving him only one step away from the threshold of 6.0 for a third-class apprentice.

At this rate, there's a high probability he'll be able to achieve a breakthrough before the conscription order is issued.

It's time to see the results of our hard work these past few days.

White Crow Tower West District, Witchcraft Training Ground.

This is a vast, enclosed area surrounded by reinforced runes, specifically for apprentices to test the power of witchcraft and conduct practical training.

The training ground is divided into several areas: basic testing area, combat drill area, simulated combat area, and elemental resistance testing area.

When Lynn walked through the gate, he saw that there were already more than a dozen people practicing on the training field.

Some were practicing precise fireball throws, others were casting ice spikes on puppet stakes, and two apprentices were conducting one-on-one combat simulations in the combat training area, where sparks and wind blades collided in mid-air, producing a dense explosion.

Ignoring the surrounding noise, Lynn walked straight to the basic testing area.

He found an empty testing spot with a testing pillar made of reinforced stone in front of him. Its surface was engraved with energy absorption runes, capable of withstanding attacks from zero-ring spells and recording damage values.

Lynn stopped, took a deep breath, and then raised his right hand.

The spell model of Wind Blade was activated instantly, and a cyan wind blade condensed in the palm of the hand, its edge so sharp that one could almost see the distortion marks left by the air being cut.

With a casual wave of his hand, a wind blade whistled out and precisely struck the front of the test pillar.

Bang! ! !

The energy absorption runes on the surface of the test column lit up suddenly, then quickly returned to calm.

A line of numbers appeared on the developing crystal above the test column:

Zero-ring trick, Wind Blade Technique base power, damage value: 17 points.

Lynn checked the standard damage comparison table of the test field.

The base damage of a Wind Blade spell cast by a regular first-class apprentice is generally between 10 and 13 points.

The basic damage of a second-class apprentice is approximately between 14 and 18 points.

His attack just now reached 17 points, which is above average for a second-class apprentice.

But this is just a basic single-shot wind blade.

Lynn took a deep breath and activated the spell model of [Wind Blade Technique: Consecutive Slashes].

Three wind blades simultaneously coalesced in front of his palm, arranged in a fan shape, each edge shimmering with a dangerous cyan light.

"Go, execute them all!"

Lynn pointed his right hand forward sharply, and three wind blades shot out simultaneously, covering a two-meter area in front of the test column in a fan-shaped trajectory.

Bang bang bang!!!

Three sharp impacts rang out almost simultaneously, the runes on the surface of the test column flashed repeatedly, and the values ​​in the developing crystal jumped and then climbed.

The basic damage of the three wind blades are 15 points, 16 points, and 15 points respectively.

The total damage from the consecutive hits reached 46 points.

This value is equivalent to the total amount of Wind Blade Techniques that a second-class apprentice would release three times in a row, but Lynn completed it in just one turn.

"The effectiveness of the combo attack in actual combat is much better than I expected."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction and then tested the effects of [Wind Binding] and [Life Detection], which performed as expected.

He was about to leave the testing area to test his overall combat capabilities in the simulated combat zone 1 when a slightly sarcastic voice came from behind him.

"Hey, isn't this Lynn from our breeding facility?"

"What's wrong? Instead of taking good care of your few herbs, you've come to the testing grounds to waste testing pillars?"

Lynn frowned almost imperceptibly, then turned away.

Three people were walking towards them from a distance. The one in the lead was a tall, thin young man with a hooked nose, wearing a dark blue apprentice robe and a badge of a third-class apothecary pinned to his chest.

Behind him followed two apprentices who looked like lackeys, both with expressions of anticipation for a good show.

Lynn racked his brains and quickly figured out who this person was.

Leif, a fellow apprentice during the training period, is a third-class pharmacist.

This person's aptitude is average. He always looked down on the original owner, who had inferior aptitude, and often made sarcastic remarks in front of the original owner, trying to gain a sense of superiority.

However, since becoming a disciple of the Bloodvine Wizard, I have rarely seen this fake. I didn't expect to encounter it in the testing grounds today.

Seeing that Lynn didn't speak, Leif assumed he was feeling guilty, and his sarcasm deepened.

"What? Weren't you pretty good at fighting just now?"

"Three wind blades, huh? That actually looks quite convincing."

"But that makes sense. After all, the herbalists in the nursery don't even come to the witchcraft training grounds often. So when they do perform a few tricks, they naturally want to show off."

His two henchmen behind him also laughed.

"Senior Leif is right. As herbal apprentices in the cultivation room, they deal with flowers and plants all day long. It's already quite good if they can release one or two wind blades."

"Haha, I guess that's all he's capable of. If he uses a few more techniques, his mental strength won't be able to hold up, right?"

Several apprentices nearby turned to look at the commotion.

After recognizing Leif, someone looked at Lynn with a mixture of sympathy and curiosity in their eyes.

Leif is quite well-known among the White Raven Tower apprentices because he has a distant relative who is a full-fledged wizard. He usually acts in a high-profile manner and likes to bully lower-ranking apprentices without any background.

The apprentices who recognized Lynn's identity all wore strange expressions.

They whispered among themselves, but no one stepped forward to reveal Lynn's true identity.

Everyone had the same thought: this is going to be a good show.

Lynn stood still, calmly looking at Leif's smug face.

His face remained expressionless; his gaze was fixed on the other person before he slowly spoke:

"Are you finished speaking?"

Leif was completely taken aback by Lynn's reaction. He paused for a moment, then resumed his arrogant expression.

"What? Did I say something wrong? You're just a herbalist apprentice, aren't you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lynn suddenly raised his right hand.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible ghostly hand appeared directly in front of Leif and ruthlessly covered his mouth.

Suddenly his mouth was covered, and Leif's words were blocked, leaving him only able to make "woo woo woo" sounds.

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and a fireball formed in front of him, shooting towards Lynn.

The apprentices watching the scene gasped in surprise upon seeing the fireball spell.

It's important to understand that while witchcraft trainers are there to test their apprentices' witchcraft, that doesn't mean they can arbitrarily attack other apprentices here.

If you do that, you'll be arrested by law enforcement, and you won't get out without being severely punished.

Clearly, this guy Clive doesn't care about this at all. Either he's arrogant and ignorant, or the official wizard behind him is powerful enough to completely protect this arrogant fellow.

Lynn was also somewhat surprised to see that Leif dared to make a move in the witchcraft training ground.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

Wow!

The sound of flowing water rang out, and then a pale blue curtain of water appeared in front of Lynn.

The fireball was directly blocked by the water curtain.

Perhaps it was because Leif was not skilled enough, but the fireball spell was extinguished in less than a second after it hit the water curtain.

"Oh? Are they desperate?"
