Magical Cat

Li En sneered, thinking to himself, "I'm afraid I'll really scare you to death if I open my mouth, making you think that it was your seed that caused my mutation."

But then he thought that even if he spoke up, Corbyn wouldn't be too surprised.

Li En knew too little about the magical world, so he didn't know whether it was a common phenomenon for magical beasts to be able to communicate with people.

Come to think of it, he had been to Brian's room so many times and had seen Brian make a move, but he had never seen his magical beast.

Isn't it said that magicians and magical beasts are inseparable?

Just as Li En was thinking about these things, Corbyn started writing and drawing again, as if he had come up with some new ideas.

Feeling bored, Li En became curious about why Corbyn was researching the Seed of Life so extensively.

Judging from his appearance, this old man is quite persistent.

Li En paid little attention to the Seed of Life, but Corbyn remained extremely interested in the research, frequently fiddling with Li En and the flowerpot containing the Seed of Life.

Li En yawned out of boredom. After being woken up, he lost his sleepiness and began to study the notebook that he had already memorized.

Compared to the various books in the college library, the contents of this notebook are more practical and suited to Li En's actual conditions.

He even learned his first magic through this notebook.

He continued looking and discovered that there were many other basic spells above.

Li En selected the wood element magic, which was the easiest to master and also possessed destructive power.

This time, he plans to try a different kind of magic.

【Entangle】(Wood-type - Control)

It can urge vines to break through the soil and bind the target, restricting its movement and limb movements. Its resilience can be increased with the strength of the magic.

[Revival] (Wood type·Healing)

It draws the vitality of plants into the body, slowly soothing skin and flesh wounds, relieving fatigue and persistent pain.

Li En took a look and found that the two spells were quite practical, and both were ones that he could master at this stage.

Now that his magical and mental powers have increased, he wants to master more magic to pass the time.

Just then, Li En taught himself magic, and Brian studied it on his own.

They each did their own thing, without bothering each other.

Li Enxian started by learning Entangling Magic.

Having already gained experience learning how to make wooden spikes, this was already a familiar task for Li En.

Magic may seem mysterious, but it is actually just using magical power and mental energy to guide the elements to arrange themselves according to one's own will, and then exert specific effects.

As for the way these elements are arranged, that's the difference between casting different spells.

Li En has now seen through the essence of magic. If he has more time in the future and studies it further, he might be able to create some new magic.

But now all of that is irrelevant.

After his magic and mental power increased, he found that his ability to command the elements had greatly improved, almost as if he could control his own arm.

Previously, it was like coaxing a child, guiding them slowly. Now, Li En only needs to have a thought, and the elements will obediently move. Compared to before, it's like the difference between a magic pill and a spirit pill.

In no time, Li En had arranged the elements according to the binding magic.

Then, he infused his magic and completed the entangling spell.

Several slender vines appeared out of thin air on the table and then twined around the flowerpot containing the seeds of life.

Although the flowerpot was small, the vines that Li Enshi displayed were also thin, barely managing to wrap around the flowerpot once.

As Corbyn was studying the situation, vines suddenly appeared, disturbing him, and he blew on his beard.

He wasn't surprised that Li Enneng could use new magic; he simply asked casually, "You've learned another new trick?"

Li En had originally intended to scare the old man, but he didn't expect Corbyn to be so calm, which suggested he had seen a lot in his life.

But learning new magic always brings joy to cats.

He could clearly feel that the difficulty of learning Entangling Magic on his own had been greatly reduced.

This is inextricably linked to the growth of magic and mental strength.

"I really made the right decision to enhance the Magic Perception skill; I never expected it to be so powerful."

Li En plans to take advantage of this time to improve his magical abilities.

We cannot be negligent or lax just because we are still in our juvenile form.

He also wanted to be like Corbyn, a magical cat who could appear and disappear without a trace with a few blinks and go wherever he wanted.

There was just one thing that Li En was concerned about.

Why are all the spells he casts so small?

With just a few small vines, it can only entangle a child; for an adult, it would at most trip them up.

The splinters he had learned before were the same—tiny, only the size of a fingertip, at most they would prick you and cause a slight pain, but they couldn't kill you effectively.

Even if it can't pierce armor, it can at least puncture the skin and flesh.

Just then, an old scholar appeared before him, so Li En gestured to his name and asked his question.

As Corbyn watched Li En unleash a few more wooden spikes and vines, his seemingly calm face betrayed a twitching in the corner of his eye.

"What's with this guy's casting speed...?"

Kobryan sighed silently, gradually understanding Lee's gestures.

"You mean to ask why all your magical creations are so small?" Cobra asked.

Seeing that he understood what she meant, Li En nodded repeatedly.

"Is that even a question? It's because you infused less magic and elemental power. No wonder you cast spells so quickly," Corbyn said matter-of-factly.

Li En frowned, recalling the "spell refinement" that Elaine and the others had learned in class.

He immediately cast the Entanglement spell again, using the same method he had used with Elaine before.

This time, Li En clearly had been preparing for much longer.

But as the magic was released, Li En's eyes widened in surprise.

There wasn't just one vine, but it was also thinner than before, like a bean sprout.

This scene left both Lee En and Corbyn deep in thought.

Lee En, in particular, looked at Corbyn with a strong sense of suspicion.

Cobra saw the cat squinting its eyes, looking down on people with a disdainful gaze, and immediately turned red with anger.

"Nonsense! I told you to infuse it with more magic and elements, not to perform spell condensation!"

"You can't even tell where your kitten learned magic."

As soon as Corbyn spoke, he realized something was wrong.

What the hell do you mean by only condensing spells and not simply injecting more magic power?

Isn't this equivalent to not knowing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but being able to do calculus back then?

As Corbyn calmed down from his anger, he slowly realized that Li En's method of learning magic was probably irregular.

Come to think of it, the first graders haven't even started formal training courses for magical beasts yet.

After thinking for a moment, Brian decided to give Li En a proper review of the fundamentals of magic.

"Since you were able to successfully cast the spell, you must have already learned how to guide the elements according to a specific arrangement, right?"

Li En nodded.

Cobra was silent for a moment.

He realized something was wrong as soon as he said it, but Li En actually understood it.

This cat's intelligence is truly a mystery.

But now is not the time to worry about these things.

"Those specific arrangements are the magic circuits. If you want your magical creation to be larger, you need to enlarge the magic circuits proportionally, guide more elements, and inject more magic power to complete the magic with proportionally larger magic circuits."

"The spell condensation you just did was based on an existing magical circuit, where you compressed more magic power and elements into it. Can you distinguish the difference between the two now?"

After listening, Li En clapped his hands together and suddenly felt enlightened!
