115- Learning and Creating new spells 2 Fire Ball: Learn how to make a ball of fire that speeds towards a single target. Upon impact, the target will be caught in the fire and suffer. This magic is a damaging type and if you are planning to learn this magic to create fire and cook food, then it could prove you wrong. The amount of MP used for this magic affects the size, speed, distance, and the damage that can be dealt to the target. Requirement: Wind Control, Fire Control [Wisp] . Fire Bomb: Learn how to make a ball of fire that speeds towards a single target. Upon impact, the ball explodes in a wide radius causing damage to all the other targets standing nearby. The amount of MP used for this magic affects the size, speed, distance, and the damage that can be dealt to the target. Requirement: Wind Control, Earth control, Fire control [Wisp] . Flame Arrow: Learn how to make an arrow made of fire, which when fired, travels at a high speed and is a
116- Flame Wisp and Fire Control ‘ding’ ‘Congratulations, the host has learned a new skill: Mana manipulation’ Mana manipulation: The host is able to extract and gather MP freely and does not need to give commands to the system. This will increase the efficiency. This is an active skill and does not need to be activated separately. . If I am not wrong, then the new skill will allow me to gather MP from my body, more freely and efficiently. It took me at least 1-2 dozen seconds to gather the MP in my palm. And the system took at least a couple of seconds, to execute the same command. But now, I wonder how much time will it take for me to gather MP after this new skill is available. So, to try this out, I once again focused on extracting the MP, but surprisingly, just from a single thought a good amount of MP or ‘Voilet gas’ was formed in the palm of my hand. It just took only a fraction of a second for the MP to gather. I was super content with this.
117- Exploring things related to the ‘Sorcerer’ Job in the shop After I reached my room, I had my lunch and then opened the shop window, as I have seen the things available in the Spell books option, I decided to explore what other options have to offer. A new window popped up in front of me. And there were 5 buttons on the window screen. Each is labeled as: 1- Equipment 2- Runes and Formations / Magic Circles 3- Potions 4- Spell Books 5- Magical Equipment and Item crafting manuals . This time, I selected the ‘Equipment’ button. A new window screen popped up and there were lots of items listed on the screen. There were many interesting items like: Wands, Robes, Rings, Scepters, and ornaments. From all these what caught my attention was the ‘MP Storage’ ring. Level 1 MP Storage ring: The wearer can store up to 100 MP and use the stored MP as a backup for either battle or recovering MP. If the stored MP is used for battles, then the c
118- The [8 Levels of Qi Reforging Technique] ‘knock’ ‘knock’ “Armelia?” “Are you inside?” After reaching Armelia’s room, I knocked on the door and called out to her. After a few seconds, Armelia opened the door. “Good morning, Orochi. Come inside.” After I walked into her room, I told her directly “Armelia, do you remember the brown book that we got inside the cave?” “Yeah...” “So, with the book, there was a note that said we can access information as our cultivation level increases, and right now you are at the low level of the Demi-Monster stage and I am at the peak of the Awakening stage. So, let’s see if we are able to access anything from the book?” “Ok.” With that, I took out the brown book the ‘Inventory’, and then I took out a knife. With the help of a knife, I made a small cut on the fingers of both mine & Armelia's and dropped blood on the book. But since my ‘Defense’ stat has reached 640, I had some difficulty while making a cut an
119- The Hellish Technique It took me more than a day to reach the ‘Beginning stage’, although the time taken is not long but it is definitely not short. Is this what Bertha meant when she said- “You can start cultivation but the speed will be slower.” If my guess is right then, my cultivation speed should have been slower but due to the system, I am able to cultivate at a quick pace. It's like there is a balance established as the system and poison effects on cultivation speed are canceling out each other. Now, that I have produced and gathered ‘Qi’ to the limit, I can start practicing the 1st level of the ‘8 Levels of Qi Reforging Technique’. After readying myself, I started practicing 1st level and braced myself for the pain that I am about to experience. After a few minutes, a small burning sensation was starting to build up in the area where the ‘Qi’ was stored and simultaneously the system notification rang, ‘ding’ ‘Current progress of ‘1st level of Qi
120- Charm Stat hidden ability Wait? Now that my ‘Resistance’ stat has increased by 5 points, doesn’t that mean that my stat limit has also increased to a certain extent? Well, the only way to confirm it is to increase my stats. “System, excluding the [Charm] and [Intelligence] stats increase all the stats up to the safety limit.” ‘ding' ‘25 Free stat points have been added to the Strength Stat’ ‘25 Free stat points have been added to the Agility Stat’ ‘20 Free stat points have been added to the Defense Stat’ ‘20 Free stat points have been added to the Sense Stat’ ‘20 Free stat points have been added to the Stamina Stat’ . Woah...good enough. Well, I guess now I can say it sincerely- The torment that I had to go through while practicing the [8 Levels of Qi Reforging Technique] was really worth it. Putting this matter behind me, I decided to increase the ‘Charm’ stat and see if there are any hidden abilities or features that will be unlocked. S
121- Refinement Stage As I said, even a mortal human who has never cultivated can defeat an Awakening stage human or a Beginning stage human if he/she has practiced some fighting techniques. But the difference starts showing after stepping into the ‘Refinement stage’. The Refinement stage is divided into 5 levels. And they are: Skin Refinement Level Muscle Refinement Level Tissue Refinement Level Organs Refinement Level Bone Refinement Level And as one reaches the ‘Skin Refinement Level’, ordinary punches or kicks can hardly hurt him/her and even the weapons used, must be sharp and must be used by some cultivator. An ordinary mortal will never be able to inflict any lethal injury on a cultivator who has reached the ‘Skin Refinement Level’. In the Skin Refinement Level, there is only a little increase in power but the major increase is in defense. Now, before I proceed, I need to check for the information that has been unlocked in the ‘Brown book’ after
122- Armelia's reminder Why clan extermination? Am I being cruel? Well, the answer is- Yes, why not? Anyway, after having some revenge from those people, their family will send someone to assassinate me and it will lead to lots of drama and fights. So, wouldn’t it be better if I exterminate the clan to prevent any drama? And anyway, big powers or clans don’t like to swallow their pride, so why not take the ball to their court? Being passive the whole time and reacting only when the enemies make serious damage, is not my style. Instead of that, I will make the first strike and eliminate all variables that could disturb me in the future. And when I say ‘all the variables’, I really mean it. Eliminating the grass and not even sparing the roots, or something like this. I will report even small harm with extreme aggression. . After reading some more information in the book, I had a small chat with Armelia. While we were chatting, Armelia asked me, “O
