My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 189: Tier One Wizard Breakthrough

Aur calmly sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the crystal in front of him, which was already more than halfway turned to purple. This indicated the substantial amount of mana stored within.

High-grade mana crystal!

And this wasn't the counterfeit one he had obtained, with less mana, even comparable to the middle-grade mana crystal he had acquired through a dubious business deal. This one was authentic, brimming with complete mana.

A satisfied expression crossed Aur's face as he observed the crystal.

The high-grade mana crystal he had exchanged for middle-grade ones was filled with pure and dense mana. Not only was its quantity higher than a hundred middle-grade mana crystals, but its quality was also superior.

It's important to note that there was always a high demand for high-grade mana crystals, but the supply was scarce. Even Noah, the village leader, only received one high-grade mana crystal per month from the allocation of resources.

This made the natural exchange rate of a hundred middle-grade mana crystals for one high-grade mana crystal false!

Aur had bought four high-grade mana crystals for almost five hundred middle-grade mana crystals; if it hadn't been for the caravan, it would have cost even more.

A sigh escaped his lips as he thought about this. Bleeding his pockets again was a concern, but fortunately, Aur had already exchanged the fake high-grade mana crystal with the caravan, which somewhat mitigated his losses.

Aur immediately took deep breaths, calming his chaotic thoughts, and looked at his mental space, where countless spells rotated.

"Let's do it," he whispered, determination flashing in Aur's eyes.

As he finally willed all the colourless mana in his mental space.

Suddenly ripples spread as the calm mana suddenly started to act up.

With a thought, Aur focused on the walls of the mind using the colourless mana.

Boom!

The colourless mana attacked the barrier in his mental space; however, there wasn't a single change, and his mental space remained unaffected.

Aur wasn't discouraged by this and persisted. With another thought, his colourless mana moved, attacking the barrier of his mental space once more.

Boom!

Once again, despite a head-on collision, there wasn't much change in the barrier of his mental space, but his mana had considerably decreased. Aur no longer hesitated; with a thought, he used the high-grade mana crystal, almost instantly replenishing the lost mana.

"I will break through," Aur declared.

With determination, he continuously hit the barrier of his mental space with colorless mana, being supplied by the high-grade mana crystal. His breakthrough was smooth and uninterrupted as his colorless mana continuously pounded against the barrier.

Finally, after a long period of accumulation and repeated strikes at the same spot in the barrier, a crack appeared. The sound of glass breaking rang through his mental space, prompting Aur's excitement.

"Finally," he muttered, feeling a terrifying suction force emanating from the slightly bronze barrier. Although it hadn't been fully broken yet, it still couldn't completely drain Aur's mana.

Once again, Aur swiftly replenished his mana.

"From this point, there is no turning back," he thought to himself.

With determination, Aur gathered all his mana and attacked the same spot again.

Bang!

Like the shattering of glass, the barrier completely broke, fracturing like a spider's web.

The suction force from the outside immediately acted on the colourless mana, but Aur managed to stabilise it in time, containing all his mana.

"Break for me!" Aur roared, utilising all his mana to continuously attack every part of the barrier this time. Unlike before, when Aur had to try continuously to break through the mental space barriers, they now shattered from the cracked part, and the suction force intensified.

Even with the replenishment of the high-grade mana crystal, his mana was constantly depleting, sending a chill through Aur's heart.

Fortunately, all the accumulated damage done to his mental space barrier finally paid off as it began to crack from all sides like porcelain glass.

In the material world, Aur, who was sitting cross-legged, had blood flowing continuously from his nose, his body riddled with countless internal injuries.

Metal space exists in a different dimension from her, yet it is deeply connected to a wizard, and the consequences of its breaking were akin to the body itself shattering like glass. Hence, in the worst-case scenario where a breakthrough failed, the wizard would instantly succumb to all the accumulated injuries to his mental space.

However, such injuries were trivial to Aur, as his strong blood and Qi instantly activated within his body, continuously repairing his injuries, while his muscles worked in unison to prevent any serious harm.

Ordinary wizards, on the other hand, would need to consume multiple potions to constantly heal their injuries, and with the imminent breakthrough, the already slim chances of success would diminish even further.

This is also why wizards still prioritise developing their bodies!

Aur's body accumulated injuries continuously but it was worth it, looking inside his mental space, he had finally shattered the barrier completely.

With the barrier broken, a deep abyss-like darkness was revealed to Aur, yet the moment he beheld it, a tear of blood trickled from his physical body in the material world.

Aur keenly sensed every change in his physical form, eliciting a wistful smile. Just a glance into the void caused such grievous injuries, and the suction increased at an alarming rate. Even though Aur staunchly contained the mana, some of it inevitably leaked into the void.

"Now, let's rebuild the mental space," Aur muttered, commanding the mana within his mental realm. Instantly, they began to converge towards the ground.

With the continuous replenishment of mana from the high-grade mana crystal, an infinite cycle appeared to unfold. With every destruction, there came a rebirth!

The mana directed towards the mental space gradually began to nourish it, resulting in the slow creation of a new, stronger, and denser barrier.

As the mental space slowly mended itself under Aur's continuous supply of mana, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Finally, I have reached the tier one wizard realm."
