Master Changsheng

Chapter 147, Section 144: Spell Restriction

Located underground, inside the [Lazell's Mage Tower].

An Kai felt as if he were sitting on a small boat on a turbulent sea.

The mage tower kept shaking.

It even did a 360-degree flip.

The contents of the second and third floors of the mage tower overflowed.

Countless resources fell to the first floor.

This includes the 23 mid-grade magic stones located on the third floor, which took more than seven years to obtain from Hanks.

A medium-grade magic stone, the size of a human head, fell down the stairs from the third floor to the first floor of the mage tower.

It fell right at Ankai's feet.

The tremors lasted for a full hour.

Located inside the mage tower, being injured is the same as not being injured.

However, An Kai felt as if the food he ate yesterday was about to be shaken out.

Meanwhile, because he was hiding inside the mage tower and forged by the power of heaven and earth, An Kai did not experience it.

I thought that experiencing the "power of heaven and earth" would improve me, but it didn't.

Opening the panel, the [Awakening Progress] is still at [0.01%]...

An Kai's expression froze; his attempt to find an opening seemed to have failed...

[Note: A mid-grade magic stone can be exchanged for one "Power of Heaven and Earth" forging.]

Suddenly, An Kai was taken aback.

The system upgrade that appeared before him made him stop in his tracks as he was about to leave the mage tower.

Ankai picked up a mid-grade magic stone from the ground and tried to use it…

In an instant.

The mid-grade magic stone shattered, turning into scattered light in Ankai's hand.

It was absorbed by Ankai's body in just a moment.

[Spirit Awakening Progress +0.01%]

[Awakening Progress: 0.02%]

[Mage Body Lv4] upgraded to [Mage Body Lv5]!

boom!

A terrifying pressure emanated from An Kai!

They burst out from underground in an instant, passing through the mage tower.

In the blink of an eye, the oppressive aura swept across the entire inner city of the Good House.

Many members of the House of Goodness, sensing the approaching pressure, suddenly prostrated themselves in the ruins of the House of Goodness's inner city.

In their perception.

It was as if a true king had been born; the terrifying pressure made them unable to lift their heads.

This also applies to Milton, the Spirit-Enchanted [Heavy Armor Warrior].

It's already quite an achievement that he can still stand.

However, this was also related to Milton summoning "Enchantment," as he stood on the ground, clad in heavy armor, holding a shield to support his body...

The pressure came quickly, but it also went away quickly.

The oppressive aura dissipated in about five seconds.

Within the inner city of the House of Goodness, many residents breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, they confirmed one thing.

The inner city is in this state because of their mysterious master.

They never imagined that someone's strength would increase and cause such a commotion.

Even some professionals from the seven kingdoms, who were well-informed, had never seen any record of human strength increasing to the point that it could destroy an entire city!

And with just a single aura of oppressive power, he could make the entire city's inhabitants unable to breathe?!

Is this even human?!

From the mage tower, a burst of light emanated from Ankai's body, then disappeared into his body.

The quality of [Meditation, Fireball, Freeze, Summon, Magic Armor, Wind Blade, Swiftness, Contract, Beast Taming] has been upgraded from [Premium-] to [Premium].

[Gained 5% Enlightenment Progress]

The upgrade of [Mage Body Lv4] to [Lv5] has resulted in a comprehensive boost to Ankai's overall strength.

At the same time, [Mage Body Lv5] has another extremely powerful effect, suppressing all talents below [Lv5].

In other words, if your talent is below [Lv5], it will be difficult for you to even make a move against Ankai.

In addition, [Mage Body Lv5] once again enhanced Ankai's own spells.

The spell quality has been upgraded from [Excellent-] to [Excellent], which is the effect of the [Mage Body Lv5] buff.

A small upgrade to the spell's quality didn't bring about many noticeable changes.

The real changes are related to the understanding of spells and the hidden changes in spell control.

Furthermore, the advancement of [Mage Body Lv4] to [Mage Body Lv5] also gave Ankai a new understanding of the "Power of Heaven and Earth".

The most obvious change is that after undergoing a baptism of "the power of heaven and earth", the increase in spiritual awakening progress is increased from [0.01%] to [0.02%].

This is equivalent to reducing the time frame from approximately 28 years to approximately 14 years.

At the same time, the upgrade of the talent [Mage Body Lv5] also brought [5% Spirit Awakening Progress], which is the direct change of Ankai's deepening understanding of "Power of Heaven and Earth".

This change also gave Ankai the opportunity to "imbue" spells with spirit...

I only thought about it for a second.

Ankai has decided to "empower" himself through meditation!

看了眼还剩余28635技能点，以及10943枚下品魔法石、35123枚一品魔核、18543枚二品魔核、14619枚三品魔核、8549枚四品魔核、以及361枚五品魔核。

Ankai believed it was more than enough.

On a whim, I decided to max out my [Meditation] proficiency!

[Hint: Scanning a 1-meter radius, insufficient medium-grade magic stones.]

【提示：冥想Lv40提升至冥想Lv41，所需熟练度为300；需要技能点*18000、中品魔法石*10。】

When the system appeared, An Kai was taken aback.

He had lost count of how many times he had been stunned into silence.

Not to mention the 10 mid-grade magic stones, just the 18000 skill points and 300 proficiency per level are significant.

Both are huge drains.

An Kai was somewhat relieved that he hadn't upgraded his spell all at once; otherwise, his reserves really wouldn't have been enough.

At that time, we will face the dilemma of which aspects to promote and which not to promote...

After counting, An Kai found five mid-grade magic stones at his feet, and then he found five more magic stones nearby.

With a wave of his hand, he chose to upgrade!

He wanted to see what changes would occur after this massive upgrade in spell level!

[Medium-grade magic stone - 10]

[Skill Points -18000]

[Meditation Lv40 『2000/2000』Proficiency +300]

[Meditation Lv40] upgraded to [Meditation Lv41]

The meditation quality has been upgraded from "Premium" to "Premium+".

【Meditation Lv41『Premium+』『2300/2300』】

During the ascension, Ankai seemed to see a long river that nurtured magic. "Meditation" was like a little person jumping in and out of the river, and the light on his body became more and more brilliant with each jump.

Only when "Meditation" transformed into a dazzling gold color did it reluctantly leave the "River of Spells" and return to Ankai's body.

It took a full five minutes.

Ankai opened his eyes and smiled.

Although the cost was enormous, the improvement this time was truly massive!

Looking solely at the exchange ratio between skill points and proficiency, the ratio has increased from 1:30 to 1:60.

Proficiency level 1, skill points 60.

This upgrade also increases the cost of 10 mid-grade magic stones.

It should be noted that, based on Ankai's current understanding of the "Power of Heaven and Earth," 10 mid-grade magic stones can bring a 0.2% progress in spirit awakening!

That means you'll avoid being subjected to the "power of heaven and earth" baptism 10 times less.

From small to large changes, firstly, the time it takes for Ankai to gain attribute points has been reduced by 10 minutes with this [Meditation] level increase.

This is something that even progressing from Meditation level 31 to 40 did not accomplish.

In addition, multitasking added half an hour to my time.

Ankai can now multitask for one hour and twenty minutes.

If the time for gaining attribute points through meditation continues to decrease while the time for multitasking continues to increase, it won't be long before Ankai reaches the "passive" meditation enhancement level.

In addition to the two existing effects, this time the [Meditation] upgrade, due to the influence of [Mage Body Lv5] and the enhancement of its own "Enchantment", resulted in two effects appearing at once.

Instructions, spell restrictions!

The teachings are easy to understand; Ankai can manifest a [meditation] scroll daily for teaching purposes.

However, his teachings differed from those of other monks.

If someone uses his scroll, the user's cultivation speed will be much faster than other spells.

After all, Ankai's [Meditation] is of [Premium+] quality.

but…

As the user's [Meditation] level increases, they will be affected by Ankai's [Meditation].

To become an entity that has signed a [contract] with Ankai.

Or perhaps the twenty-eighth orc prince treated Ankai the same way; to the twenty-eighth orc prince, Ankai was a "god"...

This is equivalent to practicing Ankai's [meditation], which will leave you with Ankai's mark, from which you will be unable to escape.

This effect made Ankai very happy.

He possesses an infinite lifespan. If one day his meditation spreads throughout the continent, wouldn't all living beings on the continent become his henchmen?

By then, how could we possibly be hampered by resource issues...?

This is just the instruction; the other "spell restrictions" have even more exaggerated effects!

Within a 10-meter radius around Ankai, any spell that enters this area will be broken down into magical elements.

If the mage is inside a "spell restriction", his spells will be unusable.

The standard for all of this is whether the person casting the spell has a talent level that exceeds that of Ankai.

If it exceeds the limit, "spell restriction" will be useless against them.

If not, then I'm sorry, your spell has no effect on Ankai.

It's no exaggeration to say that this effect instantly made Ankai a nemesis of mages...

This is the meditation after being enhanced by "Spirit Empowerment"!

Ankai was very satisfied with the results.

He had already begun to envision his "meditation" henchmen spread throughout the entire continent...

All things considered, a "Premium+" quality "Meditation" is a spell that many people will never even touch in their entire lives...

After the joy, An Kai felt a little melancholy.

He only has 12 mid-grade magic stones left…

After glancing at his [Awakening Progress], Ankai pondered for a long time before choosing to use it.

Donglin is now in the final stages of its retreat.

Who knows when they'll be released from quarantine.

Therefore, if you can improve your strength, then improve your strength.

[Awakening progress +0.24%.]

[Awakening Progress: 5.26% (0.01% + 5.25%)]

After doing all this, An Kai's figure flickered as he walked out of the mage tower.

Upon emerging from seclusion, he planned to visit Hanks' residence to inquire about the whereabouts of the mid-grade magic stone.

And to change the strategic policy of Good House.

It just emerged from underground.

The scene before him made An Kai somewhat embarrassed.

The Fuling Tower has collapsed. Standing atop its ruins, one sees not a single intact building in sight…

He knew that this was caused by his "power of heaven and earth".

This confirms that he's a walking "natural disaster"...

The disheveled and disheveled Master Wayne of the Spirit Pavilion, along with Will Bucklin, rushed to Ankai's side as soon as they saw him appear...

Wayne: "My lord, do you have any clues about the sudden earthquake that struck our inner city?"

Will Bucklin: "Sir, the city's residents are suffering from a disaster. How can we provide relief?"

An Kai chuckled awkwardly, subconsciously touching the tip of his nose, and said calmly, "How would I know? It must be a natural occurrence, right?"

"As for providing assistance? They're all at least Tier 3 professionals, why would they need our assistance?"

Wayne didn't believe him and continued seriously, "Sir, you taught me that when a person lies, they subconsciously touch the tip of their nose."

"Wayne! What are you saying?!"

"Go out and ask around, when has An Kai ever lied!"

"Disgrace! Utter disgrace!"

Ankai, feigning anger, abruptly flung his hand away and turned to walk towards Hanks' house: "Wayne, take care of things here."

"Furthermore, this is a one-time exception!"

...

Watching Ankai's retreating figure, Wayne felt rather helpless...

It wasn't until An Kai left that he remembered something he hadn't reported to An Kai.

Yesterday, the "House of Goodness Assassins' Guild" reported that skeletons had appeared in the Duchy of Buklin in the town of the dead, suspected to be there to mine magic stone veins!

Thinking of this, Wayne decided that the news couldn't be delayed and immediately set off in Ankai's direction...

...

The Town of the Dead.

Inside the castle.

The King of the Kingdom of Shak knelt in the dark palace.

After a short while, Donglin let out a soft sigh, ending his cultivation session. He glanced at the King of the Shak Kingdom and spoke softly:

"How is the progress of the once-every-ten-years mid-grade magic stone gathering?"

"Replying to the Lord, it will begin in the Principality of Buklin in five days."

Donglin nodded and reminded them, "Tell them to keep a low profile and not let those barbarians in the desert find out."

"yes!"

Inside the castle, Donglin's gaze was deep and thoughtful.

Once he returns with the mid-grade magic stones, his cultivation will most likely end ahead of schedule!

By then.

He wanted to go and see for himself who was in the desert who dared to oppose him all this time!

P.S.: Typos will be corrected after posting.

I just discovered that we've reached 10,000 recommendation votes, and it's already shown in the milestone. Without further ado, I'll add an extra 2,000 chapters tomorrow!
