Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 101 Ascending to Legendary Status, Dual Elemental Power

The Dawn Council was much more efficient than Pei Ze had anticipated.

The items I redeemed were delivered to my door early the next morning.

Four standard doses of glass essence, and a large amount of rare metals.

Pei Ze immediately had Silver Star absorb the four standard amounts of metal combinations.

As expected, Silver Star's power has increased significantly, with both its attack and defense capabilities being markedly enhanced.

More importantly, mental energy consumption decreased by nearly 30% again.

Compared to when I first obtained the Silver Star, my mental energy consumption has decreased by more than 40% to nearly 50%.

Pei Ze tested it that day, and found that even when he was overdrawing his mental energy, he could only control the Silver Star for nearly nine minutes.

However, considering the actual combat situation, it is most appropriate to control the operation time to around five minutes.

"Five minutes is actually enough," Pei Ze thought to himself.

If he still can't defeat the enemy within five minutes after using Silver Star, then he should consider running away.

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Pei Ze's physical attribute finally reached 100, meeting the physical standard for promotion to legendary knight.

And just like his mental strength, once he reached 100, no matter how much Pei Ze cultivated, he could never improve his physical attributes.

Clearly, one hundred is the limit of a knight's physique.

"It's time to start trying to awaken elemental power."

To avoid being disturbed, Pei Ze went directly to the experimental area and rented a magic laboratory, where he sat cross-legged to prepare for a breakthrough.

It is worth mentioning that, under normal circumstances, the elemental power awakened by a legendary knight is often closely related to the attributes of the cultivation technique.

For example, if the breathing technique one cultivates focuses on defense, then there is a high probability that one will awaken the power of earth element.

If the breathing technique you practice focuses on power, you will most likely awaken the power of fire or lightning.

Like the Azure Breathing Technique that Pei Ze practiced before, although the possibility is extremely low, if he were to break through to become a legendary knight by chance using this technique, he would most likely awaken the power of the wind element.

However, the Omniscient Breathing Method is different.

This advanced breathing technique, created by combining numerous breathing methods through the All-Knowing Eye, does not have a clear focus.

Or rather, it belongs to a technique for comprehensive improvement.

Therefore, Pei Ze could not guess which elemental power he was about to awaken.

"Anyway, we'll find out by trying."

Taking a deep breath, Pei Ze slowly closed his eyes, calmed his mind for a moment, and began his breakthrough.

Before long, a sound like a rushing river echoed within his body—the sound of blood flowing at high speed.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of white vapor escaped from the pores of his skin and rose up.

Pei Ze was instantly enveloped in a misty white vapor.

If a wizard were here at this moment, he could sense through his mental field that countless energy particles were converging from all directions, rushing to enter Pei Ze's body.

From a distance, Pei Ze looked as if he were wrapped in a colorful, irregular cocoon.

Blue and red make up the vast majority of the cocoon.

After an unknown amount of time, the cocoon slowly contracted and eventually disappeared completely into Pei Ze's pores.

At the same time, the wispy white mist surrounding Pei Ze slowly dissipated.

Everything returned to calm.

After a while, Pei Ze suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly.

"It's done!"

Pei Ze's face lit up with a genuine smile of joy.

The entire breakthrough process went much more smoothly than he had expected. None of the examples he had read about in related books, such as poor absorption of energy particles, excessively long awakening time, or failure of the body to withstand the load, occurred.

The elemental power was awakened very smoothly.

However, the final result was slightly unexpected.

Pei Ze looked down at his hands, and with a thought, a flame suddenly burst into flames in his right palm.

At the same time, his left hand crackled, and fine arcs of electricity flickered across its surface.

"Does this mean he has awakened dual elemental powers—the power of fire and the power of lightning?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Pei Ze's eyes.

According to the records, when a Great Knight breaks through to the Legendary realm, he will only awaken one elemental power.

Only when a very small number of exceptionally talented legendary knights break through to the third-tier legendary realm will they awaken a second elemental power.

It's unheard of for someone to awaken two elemental powers simultaneously right after being promoted.

Perhaps only those legendary knights who have undergone biological modification could accomplish such a thing.

"This should be considered a benefit only available to advanced breathing techniques."

Pei Ze didn't dwell on it for long; after all, it was a good thing.

What he couldn't understand was why the elemental powers of fire and lightning were awakened, and not others.

"Is it because the Omniscient Breathing Technique inherently awakens the power of both fire and lightning elements, or is it because I have a higher affinity for fire and lightning energy particles?"

After pondering for a while without being able to come up with a solution, Pei Ze simply stopped worrying about it and silently said, "Omniscient, check my current state."

【Spirit 160.00】

[Body Condition 152.57]

[Task 1: Improve Elemental Runes, estimated time 301 days]

[Task 2: Analyze the Lightning Explosion Magic Tattoo, estimated time 162 days]

[Task 3: Analyze instant spell casting techniques, estimated time 219 days]

Pei Ze clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although he had already guessed from the abnormality in his body that his physical attributes should have increased significantly, seeing the data with his own eyes still greatly surprised him.

More than half the increase, a full 52 points of improvement in physique!

The extent of this enhancement is truly astonishing!

Pei Ze couldn't help but glance at his fist.

With his current physique, without mobilizing elemental power, he could probably kill a peak Grand Knight with a single punch using only his physical strength.

"According to the descriptions in those books, when an ordinary Great Knight breaks through to become a Legendary Knight, his physical strength generally increases by 20% to 30%."

Pei Ze understood that the reason for such a terrifying increase was obviously due to the Omniscient Breathing Technique, a skill with amazing effects.

It is worth mentioning that with the breakthrough, his Omniscient Breathing Technique naturally reached the first level.

"I wonder how much my physique will improve once I reach the twelfth level of the Omniscient Breathing Technique?"

Pei Ze's heart was burning with passion.

After calming himself down slightly, Pei Ze got up, preparing to test the effects and changes of elemental power on his body.

The first step is the manipulation of energy particles.

Unsurprisingly, their abilities in this area have improved remarkably.

Especially the fire and lightning energy particles, they feel like they can be controlled by an arm.

Pei Ze imbued his weapon with a layer of lightning elemental power, making it about 70-80% as powerful as the lightning rune.

The power of fire element is also roughly the same.

According to his understanding, legendary knights who advance using different breathing techniques may seem to awaken the same elemental power, but in reality, there will be differences in the degree of elemental condensation.

The higher the quality of the breathing technique, the more refined the awakened elemental power, and naturally, the stronger its power.

For example, the fire element power that Pei Ze now possesses is several times stronger than the fire element power that Huo Nan possessed back then.

Secondly, there are elemental runes.

After some testing, Pei Ze discovered that the lightning rune had significantly improved in both power and duration.

In contrast, the Earth Rune and Gale Rune provide only a negligible increase in power.

"Only the corresponding elemental runes will provide a significant boost."

Pei Ze nodded secretly. It seemed he would have to find time to analyze the fire runes later.

Aside from the elemental runes, the changes in spells are exactly the same.

Fireball, Burning Hand, and Electric Claw – these fire and lightning spells – have all undergone optimizations in terms of preparation time, power, and spell cost.

Pei Ze wasn't particularly surprised by this.

He had already read about it in relevant ancient texts: elemental power can increase a wizard's affinity for the corresponding element, thereby increasing the power of the corresponding elemental spells and reducing energy consumption.

This is why, even though there are many ways to strengthen the body, a large number of wizard apprentices still painstakingly practice breathing techniques in order to awaken elemental power.

While methods of physical enhancement such as bio-modification can result in a powerful physique, they cannot awaken elemental power.

That involves higher-level energy-based body modification, which only a few high-level wizards are proficient in.

"Furthermore, as the elemental power becomes more refined and powerful, the affinity with the corresponding element will also continue to increase."

Pei Ze was overjoyed.

The Omniscient Breathing Technique is unique in nature and is a technique specifically designed for legendary knights to practice.

With this technique, his cultivation speed will definitely far surpass that of ordinary legendary knights.

Overall, although this was only a breakthrough to become a legendary knight, Pei Ze's strength has still improved considerably.

"Now we just wait for the mission to be completed."

Pei Ze looked at the task bar.

In another four or five days, the elemental runes should be fully improved.

Next, we'll analyze the techniques for instant spell casting.

The Thunderstorm Magic Tattoo is listed last.

The reason for this is that the gemstone material used to create the Thunderstorm Magic Tattoo is more valuable than that used for the Flash Magic Tattoo, costing over two hundred Magic Stone Coins.

He doesn't have that much money on hand right now; he needs to find some time to refine a few batches of potions and sell them.

"It's a pity that a wizard apprentice's mental strength is insufficient to refine second-tier potions. Otherwise, selling more than ten second-tier potions would cover the material costs for the lightning explosion magic tattoo."

The higher the grade of the medicine, the more exponentially the price increases.

The price of a Tier 1 potion is at most three or four magic stone coins, but the cheapest Tier 2 potion costs more than ten magic stone coins, making the profit much higher than that of a Tier 1 potion.

If he could refine second-tier potions, Pei Ze wouldn't have to worry about money at all.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.

and many more!

Pei Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked thoughtful.

"Besides making potions, it seems there are other ways."

He suddenly remembered Tining, the half-deer girl from the ancient tree deer spirit clan.

If we could exchange Moonflower and Falling Starflower for a large amount of magical creature materials from her, and then resell them, wouldn't we be able to get a lot of money immediately?

The profit margin is much higher than selling medicine!

"Worth a try!"

Pei Ze became excited and immediately got up to go to the No. 8 herb garden.

He has already sold off all his loot in the past two days, exchanging it for over a hundred magic stone coins, which he can use to buy Moonlit Orchids and Falling Star Flowers.

"Eee!"

Upon realizing that Pei Ze was about to go out, Xiao Yi immediately rushed over and plopped down on his shoulder.

She'd been cooped up at home all day and had been itching to go out. Now that she finally had the chance, she wasn't about to let it slip by.

Pei Ze let her have her way.

Although the little guy is excellent at escaping, there are many wizard apprentices in the academy, and it's possible that someone might have a special method to deal with the Flower Fairy. Therefore, Pei Ze has always forbidden the little guy from running around unless he stays by his side.

Given his current fame, under normal circumstances, no one would be so foolish as to lay a hand on Xiao Yi.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

There are always some fools in this world whose reason is blinded by self-interest.

It would have been fine to go hunting with Wu Yu, but the little guy couldn't bear to see the bloody scene of Wu Yu eating crows. After going with her once, he came back pale and hugged Pei Ze for most of the day to recover. After that, he never dared to go hunting with Wu Yu again.

"Set off."

Amid the little guy's somewhat broken shouts, Pei Ze opened the door and walked out of the apartment.

As soon as they got downstairs, they saw Gu Lin right in front of them.

"Why are you here?" Pei Ze asked curiously.

Gu Lin tossed him a dimensional bag and said, "Isn't this to deliver something to you?"

Pei Ze opened the dimensional bag and glanced inside. It was full of various gems, which were exactly the materials needed to create the Flash Magic tattoo.

"Thanks," Pei Ze said with a smile, putting away his dimensional bag.

Gu Lin snorted twice, glanced at the apartment building behind Pei Ze, and frowned, saying, "This place is too dilapidated."

Looking around again, he thought, "The environment is terrible."

Gu Lin lived in the inner city for a period of time before moving out of the outer city after enrolling in the Tower Academy.

And this place is far inferior to most parts of the outer city, let alone the bustling inner city.

This is normal, since this area is already on the edge of the outer city.

"You could have moved to a better place to live, why are you still staying here?" Gu Lin asked, puzzled.

"I'm used to it." Pei Ze shrugged.

This statement is half true and half false.

One reason he didn't want to move was because it was close to the black market, making it convenient for him to trade there from time to time.

On the other hand, it's also because they find it troublesome.

Since we'll be moving into the Ring of Truth after becoming wizards, there's no need to go through all this trouble.

"What kind of reason is that?" Gu Lin waved his hand. "How about this, I'll arrange a place for you to stay. I guarantee it will be a mansion with an elegant and comfortable environment. I'll also hire some servants for you, or you can buy servants from other races if you want. In short, I guarantee you'll live comfortably."

Gu Lin finished speaking excitedly, but found Pei Ze staring at him with a half-smile, and his tone immediately softened.

"W-What are you doing?"

Pei Ze smiled and said, "Speak, what do you need my help with?"

He didn't believe this girl would be so attentive for no reason; she must need his help for something.

"What? I genuinely want to help you," Gu Lin said with dissatisfaction, but his eyes darted around, clearly showing some guilt.

Pei Zecai didn't believe her and said calmly, "If you don't tell me, I'll pretend this never happened."

"Okay, I do need your help with something."

Gu Lin finally surrendered, immediately putting on a fawning smile and clasping his hands together as he spoke to Pei Ze:

"How about you get me a magic tattoo?"
