Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Advanced ditation thod
Leaving Jolod’s place, Richard headed straight for the Magic Store.
Although the reward for this competition sounded penurious coming from Jolod’s lips, Richard still wanted to strive for it.
Who would take entrance exams if they could be admitted without them?
Due to the spread of the news, the Magic Store was already packed with well-inford Wizard Apprentices.
These apprentices were among the stronger ones, also those who had so chance to receive the exam rewards.
“Make way, make way, please.”
While shouting, Richard pushed the apprentices in front of him aside. The pushed apprentices wanted to resist, but Richard, a Bloodline Alchemy Wizard Apprentice, was stronger than them even without activating his Bloodline.
After squeezing his way to the counter, the Magic Store’s chanical clerk was thodically inspecting the Academy Coins and then controlling the pneumatic pipeline to deliver scrolls one by one.
The clerks wouldn’t intervene to keep the peace unless a magical battle broke out.
“What would you like to purchase?” The clerk ca to Richard and asked chanically.
“I want the advanced ditation thod.”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding environnt went silent instantly.
The advanced ditation thod?
An apprentice dug his ears, feeling he might have heard wrong.
Soone wanted to buy the advanced ditation thod worth ten thousand Magic Stones, which is a million Academy Coins.
“The advanced ditation thod is priced at one million Academy Coins.”
Richard didn’t say much; he calmly took out bundles of Academy Coins from his Magic Pocket.
Each bundle he took out made apprentices rub their eyes.
“This must be counterfeit money!” an apprentice thought in shock. “How can anyone afford the advanced ditation thod?”
Due to the large number of Academy Coins, the chanical clerk could only verify them in batches.
“Two hundred thousand Academy Coins confird.”
“Two hundred thousand Academy Coins confird.”
“Two hundred thousand Academy Coins confird.”
…
The sa voice repeated five tis, silencing the entire Magic Store, and so apprentices who had just co in did not understand what was going on.
What’s happening? Why is everyone silent?
“Gulp.” An apprentice near Richard swallowed his saliva; he suddenly rembered who this apprentice was.
“Are you… Richard?”
Richard glanced at him, neither confirming nor denying.
“Richard? Is that the Richard?” an apprentice whispered to another.
“Is he the one who first killed a slave beast in the exam? The one who killed Holder?”
“I heard there used to be soone in the comrcial area who sold Concentration Potions, but ever since Richard started selling them, that person mysteriously disappeared, no corpse to be found.”
“Really?…”
Ignoring the murmurs, Richard picked up the scroll delivered by the pneumatic pipeline and left the Magic Store,
leaving behind only a dashing figure.
Fa was just that, Richard never cared about it.
Back in his bedroom, Richard imdiately used the Miracle Furnace to extract the content of the advanced ditation thod.
[Ingredient: Knowledge Scroll]
[Extractable Information: Advanced ditation thod]
[Extraction Cost: 15 spiritual power]
[Refine?]
Richard chose to refine, and a few seconds later, a ball of white light appeared above the Miracle Furnace.
After absorbing the white light, Richard imdiately tried to ditate. The Advanced ditation thod was several tis more difficult than the Interdiate ditation thod, bringing the count of Spiritual Runes to an astonishing one hundred. However, Richard was not a novice Apprentice anymore; he had mastered the art of ditation practice.
After failing slightly twice, Richard successfully entered ditation on the third attempt.
The Advanced ditation thod allowed him to stay in the Sea of Souls for a full eight hours.
When he awoke from the ditation State, Richard could clearly feel that the effects of the Advanced ditation thod were several tis stronger than the Interdiate thod. If he continued to ditate at this pace, he would reach the significant milestone of forty points of spiritual power within four months and beco a high-level Wizard Apprentice.
But Richard’s ambitions went far beyond that.
“With four more years to go, by ditating at this pace, my spiritual power should reach forty-five points before the exchange competition. Although it’s still so distance from the ultimate Apprentice, it’s still quite fast compared to other Apprentices,” Richard mused to himself.
A Wizard Apprentice’s spiritual power can peak at forty-nine point nine points, and at this stage, they are known as ultimate Apprentices. Once they reach this level of power, ditation becos futile for Wizard Apprentices, and they must undergo the Wizard Promotion Ceremony, elevating their life level to a higher tier.
Once the transition is complete, the Wizard Apprentice will be known as a Wizard, and their strength will undergo a dramatic change.
Fifty and forty-nine point nine, although only a difference of point one, even a newly promoted Wizard could easily defeat three ultimate Apprentices.
Once a Wizard fully adapts, an ultimate Apprentice would appear as nothing more than an ordinary person—albeit a slightly stronger one—in the eyes of a Wizard.
Ti whizzed by, and two years quickly passed.
In the laboratory, Richard carefully observed a bug’s corpse on the dissection table through a magnifying glass.
Under the magnifying glass, the muscle structure of the bug was clearly visible.
While looking, Richard jotted down data in his notes.
“The muscle structure of this Magic Crystal Arrow Worm is truly peculiar. The multi-layered muscle fibers stack upon one another, and once charged, they deform like a bowstring, accumulating as much power as possible.”
Richard marveled at the Magic Crystal Arrow Worm.
Despite its small size, when the Magic Crystal Arrow Worm moved, it was like an arrow shot from a powerful crossbow, easily piercing through steel.
Wizards excel at discovering knowledge from various things and then utilizing it.
So after seeing this muscle structure, Richard’s first thought was of his own body.
Wizards commonly modify their bodies in pursuit of strength, shedding the constraints of their flesh without hesitation.
“Culture it and then transplant?”
Richard fell into deep thought. This kind of modification was sowhat similar to Jolod’s creation of Synthetic Beasts. When creating these beasts, Jolod didn’t just stitch together limbs of various creatures. To boost combat prowess, he also had to cultivate muscles, skin, and even bones.
But Richard didn’t quite want to use this thod.
Apart from the difficulty of targeted cultivation, the possibility of implant rejection and the impact on his daily activities were unacceptable to Richard.
Human muscles might not be the best, but they are certainly the most adapted for human daily life.
The muscle structure of the Crystal Arrow Worm, while outstanding in so aspects, also had its drawbacks.
“Alas, if only teacher had a Flesh Magic that could temporarily change the structure of flesh, this Arrow Worm’s muscle structure would undoubtedly provide a significant boost in combat strength.”
Leaving the laboratory, Richard, as usual, went to the training room to practice his Adaptation Body.
Years of relentless training had allowed Richard’s physique to withstand Elental Damage from fire, lightning, and ice Elental Magic of Energy Levels up to forty-five.
And this was roughly the limit Richard could reach at his current stage.
Although the Adaptation Body can continually improve a Wizard’s resistance to various types of damage, it also requires the Wizard to have a sufficient physical foundation for adaptation.
To use an analogy, physique is like the material used to build a machine, while Adaptation Potion is akin to lubricant, and external stimuli represent the energy source.
Although the machine can operate with energy supply, if it runs too intensely, the material can wear down and even break.
And the sa principle applies to the human body.
According to Jolod’s estimates, at the Wizard Apprentice stage, one could train the Adaptation Body up to an Energy Level of fifty at most, beyond which there is a risk of the Life Core collapsing.
At that point, it’s not about adaptation anymore; just surviving would be considered incredibly lucky.
After training a cycle, Richard wiped off sweat and left the training room, ready to return to his bedroom and read so Magic Books.
But as he stepped out, he saw Jolod approaching him.
“Richard, I have a task for you.”
