Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Swoosh.”
Just when rlin was bored stiff, sothing finally happened on the ninth floor of the Mind Tower. An old man dressed in black appeared suddenly. rlin imdiately beca nervous. He could sense from the Elental fluctuations of the old man, that this person was a powerful Spell Caster.
In the Mind Tower, other than the other challengers, rlin had never encountered other Spell Casters. This old man was obviously not another challenger.
“Challenger, you’ve entered the ninth floor of the Mind Tower, so we’ll go by the rules of the ninth floor. Your Mind Power is formidable, and your Mind Heart has reached the limits of the Seventh-level. Moreover, you’re a Mind Power Master.”
rlin felt a jolt of surprise. He did not think that the old man in black would be able to learn of his attributes in just a glance.
The old man in black shook his head, and said with a detached expression, “There’s no need to look at like that. It’s not I who can discern your secrets but the Mind Tower which was built by the Great Ultimate Arcane Wizard. In here, no one can hide anything.”
It turned out it was the Ultimate Arcane Wizard who had ascertained everything. rlin sensed that although this old man made rlin feel extrely intimidated, he himself was not that powerful of a Wizard, and should be rely at the Ninth-level.
“You are...?”
rlin was sowhat unsure about what was odd about this Ninth-level Spell Caster.
The old man in black fixed his gaze on rlin and said imdiately, “Other than a Spell Caster, I have another identity. Like you, I’m a Mind Power Master! It must be said that Mind Power Masters are most authorized to speak about the honing of Mind Power for we’re the ones with the most incisive understanding of Mind Power. The Ultimate Arcane Wizard placed us in the Mind Tower to hone the Mind Power of Potential Wizards like you.”
rlin’s heart leaped. He did not expect to et another Mind Power Master. The level of threat this old man posed was clearly not as intense as Wizard Ossais, and his abilities were surely not as strong as Ossais’, but his achievents in Mind Power were surely impressive too.
“How will you hone Mind Power?”
rlin asked ekly.
“It’s simple. I’ll retain my Mind Power to the level of most Ninth-level Spell Casters and battle with you. It’ll be a battle purely of Mind Power skill. Spell and Occult Mind Spells aren’t allowed to be used.”
The words of the old man in black caused rlin so doubts. A challenge purely of Mind Power skill – what did this have to do with expanding Mind Power?
As if he sensed rlin’s misgivings, the old man laughed coldly. “After the challenge, you’ll know!”
With that, the old man made the first move by mobilizing his Mind Power, which quickly turned into a formless sledgehamr, smashing toward rlin ruthlessly.
rlin, who was highly sensitive to Mind Power, was naturally able to tell that the old man in black had made his move. His opponent was wielding a Mind Power attack that was ford on the basis of the average Ninth-level Spell Caster’s Mind Power.
rlin’s current Mind Heart had reached the limits of the Seventh-level, coming infinitely close to most Ninth-level Spell Casters in terms of Mind Power. Therefore, he activated his Mind Power instantly which turned into an unseen Mind Power net. Layer by layer, he tried to entangle his opponent’s Mind Power sledgehamr.
“Chi.”
The old man’s Mind Power rapidly transford into a sharp dagger that slashed open rlin’s net. Following that, his Mind Power crashed heavily into rlin at the highest speed.
“Bang!”
rlin’s body was imdiately sent flying and he fell painfully onto the ground.
The old man in black shook his head slightly, saying in disappointnt, “This won’t do. You’re not flexible in the slightest. Utilizing Mind Power isn’t that simple! This is already the first ti, and you only have three chances on the ninth floor of the Mind Tower. Once I defeated you three tis, you’ll be sent out from the Mind Tower.”
rlin stood up slowly. In that previous hit, he had secretly cast Enervating Halo, so the old man’s attack did not cause him considerable damage.
As for the lack of flexibility that the old man ntioned, rlin understood clearly. rlin’s use of Mind Power was clumsy indeed. Even when he had looked for Ossais, it was to learn Occult Mind Spells.
In the present, once he was not allowed to use Occult Mind Spells, rlin was practically at the level of a “rookie” in terms of using Mind Power.
“If it’s solely Mind Power skill, what use does it have toward increasing Mind Power?’
rlin did not hastily rush into battle. Instead, he carefully pondered the matter. This was the Mind Tower, and its most vital function was to hone Mind Power, inducing remarkable advancents in Mind Power.
Thus, this was definitely not just a re battle of Mind Power skill. There must be another objective that rlin had not noticed.
Therefore, rlin began to think back to every movent of the old man in black. Every gesture and every word that he said were now incessantly flashing across rlin’s mind.
“Again!”
rlin thought about this for a long ti then suddenly stood up. Without further explanation, he mobilized his Mind Power. Invisible Mind Power arrows filled the air, coming from all directions, racing wildly toward the old man in black.
Moreover, there was no angle of escape, and it would be difficult for the old man to evade.
“Heh? Mind Power can also turn into a storm.”
The old man’s Mind Power, by quickly whirling at an unimaginable speed, took shape as a windstorm in an instant, whistling as it scattered rlin’s Mind Power arrows all at once.
As for rlin, he was defeated once again. It was the sa Mind Power as before with hardly any differences. Although rlin had the advantage of the first strike, he was still unable to be of any threat to the old man in black. His opponent’s storm was not an Occult Mind Spell but simply a pure use of Mind Power skill.
“You have one last attempt.”
After saying this to rlin, the old man in black quietly closed his eyes.
He was left with only one chance but rlin was wild with joy. He finally knew the old man’s intentions. Using Mind Power in such a direct manner as an arm would move a finger, could only be done by completely fusing Mind Power into one’s consciousness. At a single thought, Mind Power can be wielded as if by instinct.
Instinct – rlin finally grasped that his Mind Power must be rged with his instincts, becoming instinct itself. In that manner, his Mind Power would flourish greatly.
“Once again.”
Finally, rlin understood the secret of the ninth floor. Thus, he challenged the old man in black once again. This ti, he industriously fused his Mind Power with his instincts, but this was not sothing that could be accomplished in a day.
“Bang!”
rlin’s body was sent flying once more but a smile had dawned upon the old man’s face. “Not bad, you’ve realized this so quickly. Still, you’ve failed three tis and must leave the Mind Tower. I’ll look forward to your next visit!”
“Whoosh.”
As soon as the old man in black spoke, rlin felt his entire being shimr once, following which he appeared outside of the Mind Tower. Arrot, who had been waiting outside for a long while, asked in exhilaration, “Wizard rlin, you’ve made it to the ninth floor?”
rlin glanced at the Mind Tower. It was a wonderful place indeed. The ninth floor of the Mind Tower had taught him a thod to increase Mind Power. Nonetheless, his Mind Power was truly inferior to Wizard Saturn’s by so degree as he had only made it to the ninth floor.
“I’ve only made it to the ninth floor... However, this ti I’ve profited greatly. Let’s go, I’ll co again next ti.”
rlin looked up at the Mind Tower which had sixteen floors in total. He had only made it to the ninth floor with seventh floors left to go. Those would surely be amazingly beneficial toward the honing of Mind Power.
Therefore, rlin was already eager to attempt the Mind Tower once more. However, before doing so, he would have to obtain a huge sum of Adventure points.
