The Truth of Magic

Chapter 170

170 Will of steel (1/3)

After hearing Antonya’s words, Zhao Xu knew that the legendary special ability of the large organization was finally opening up to him.

compared to the talents and classes that they had learned at the beginning, they were essentially fair to everyone. they wouldn’t be unable to obtain talents or level up just because they didn’t have a way.

in fact, once zhao xu had mastered it to a certain level, he could even teach others about the skills and abilities that he had gained.

However, abilities like “potential points” and “double elite “, which he had obtained from the beta test when the server had just opened, could not be copied by others, nor could he teach them.

just like everyone, after level one, they could get one specialty every three levels. it was fixed and could not be changed.

unless the account itself was special, the total amount of talents was fixed, and one could only rely on the ability of the class to obtain additional talents.

According to what Antonya was saying, this meant that they would be able to gain additional spirituality and a specific “Specialty” in the “cave of the carrion eaters.

the specialty ability of ‘iron will’ was to increase the user’s will immunity by two ranks.

When Zhao Xu first started using protection from evil, he also gained a Rank 2 resistance from his immunity.

It could be used to resist spells and some monsters ‘supernatural abilities.

that night, when they had encountered the ghost, team maple leaf had this specialty. they wouldn’t have been so easily defeated by the ghost’s ” rainbow jet. ”

At that time, Zhao Xu had only managed to escape the attack because he was a wizard and had an innate advantage in will immunity.

otherwise, if even he fell, everyone could line up to resurrect back in the city.

Will immunity increased with the level of the profession. Level 20 mages had a bonus of 12 levels of will immunity.

when zhao xu was level 1, he already had a tier 2 class will immunity. Now that he was at Level 3, his will immunity had already been raised to the third rank.

Combined with his +1 intuition adjustment, his will exemption also increased by one level.

so zhao xu’s immunity to will was now at the fourth stage, and most low-difficulty challenges that tested his will wouldn’t be a problem for him.

iron will was a talent that could increase his rank by two, so it definitely wasn’t worth it to just learn it. but for zhao xu right now, it was like he had picked it up for free.

Especially since this specialty was a prerequisite for the advancement of a Supreme spell caster, it was even more meaningful.

however, there’s one more condition. Antonya reminded Zhao Xu.

“If Ning Wei and ashvich, who were with you in the witch’s treasure chest, die in the process of clearing out the bandits ... You’ll be in trouble. in that case, the three of you don’t need to go to the pit of the scavengers anymore.”

Zhao Xu thought about this for a while and then nodded to show that he heard her.

It was him, Wang Ningwei, and asvich who were tied up.

In a situation where Zhao Xu was in the dark and the other party was in the light, he didn’t feel bad about being the leader.

but this was the second time he, wang ningwei, and asvich had formed a team.

the challenge to obtain the specialty ‘iron will’ would definitely require them to fight side by side.

This made Zhao Xu start thinking about how the three of them should position themselves in the future and how they should get along with each other.

there was no doubt that when zhao xu first came into contact with the two women, he could feel that they weren’t the type of people who were difficult to get along with.

Even if asvich was a little sharp-tongued at times, it was only because she was naturally more sensitive.

The main thing was that he was a little curious. What was the starting point of this matter?

“Teacher, who is taking advantage of whom?” Zhao Xu asked.

This was a mission that would allow all three of them to obtain the specialty ‘iron will’ after going through a challenge.

if it was publicized, even high level mages would fight to the death.

this had already broken through the original barrier.

So Zhao Xu didn’t think that they would arrange for them to be there for no reason.

“well, it’s more or less because you’re basking in their light. In the future, you’re going to advance to ‘Supreme magic sculptor’, and your abilities will cover most of the abilities of a’ Supreme magic spellcaster’. Therefore, you don’t need to consider the advancement of ‘Supreme magic spellcaster’ before level 13.”

“however, the two of them are potential candidates for this advancement. they are waiting to pass the test. therefore, this trial to obtain the specialty ‘iron will’ is a rather crucial mission for them.”

if they fail, it doesn’t mean that they will lose the chance to become a Supreme spell caster, but it will more or less affect their growth in the floating city. so if you want to help them, you’ll have to work hard.”

“as for why you were also added, it’s because they later gave you a higher score in the mission evaluation than the other. at the same time, among the current players of the floating city, your strength level is number one. you’ll naturally become the target candidate. Otherwise, you’d normally have to wait until you’re level 15 before you’d be assigned to the ‘pit of the scavengers’ trial. After all, there are many high-level mages in the floating city lining up for this opportunity.”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was so touched that he almost cried.

Wang Ningwei was kind and upright, so he wasn’t surprised that she gave him a high score in the end.

as for ashvich, he guessed that she more or less had the mentality of repaying a favor. after all, he had used an ‘incantation’ to save the two of them, instead of resurrecting them.

the reward for his mission that day had finally arrived.

but later on, zhao xu also found out how bad that spell was.

the ” spell ” could indeed resurrect, but it could only be used in the ” realistic illusion. ”

this meant that after zhao xu left the eighth floor of the palace of knowledge, the incantation became nothing more than a decoration.

if someone was really greedy for the two chances of resurrection and didn’t save his teammates without knowing each other’s identity, he would really vomit blood after knowing the truth.

“Level 15 is because I can use a card?” zhao xu asked antonya.

” that’s right. as a mage now, your thoughts are quite clear. ” antonya said proudly.

zhao xu laughed in his heart. no wonder even high-level wizards wanted this specialty.

At level 15, he was able to learn the two level 8 spells,’abandon chaos’ and ’embrace chaos.’

At that time, he could first use ” embrace chaos ” to exchange the common Specialty ” iron will ” for a chaos specialty.

Then, he could use the ” cast away chaos ” spell and Exchange the chaos specialty for the specialty he wanted.

with these two added together, it was equivalent to him changing [ iron will ] into the target specialty he wanted.

This meant that Zhao Xu had received an additional special ability.

this was the legendary skill washing.

Many mages, even if they couldn’t learn this spell, didn’t stop them from looking for mages who knew this spell and paying the price to get the other party to cast it.

This also meant that after Zhao Xu got the iron will specialty, he could also ask Antonya to help him cleanse his specialty.

After all this time, Zhao Xu had come to understand that even though he had gained two new talents from the two flaws, he was still very tight on the chain of new talents.

this was because his ‘metamagic sculptor’ ability allowed him to cast spells that were combined with various metamagic specializations at almost no cost.

Every additional metamagic specialty he gained meant that he was stronger.

it wasn’t like other people who had to continuously choose from metamagic specialties.

The level ten ultimate professional abilities of the ‘spell Guardian’ and the ‘Supreme spell caster’ could only reduce the number of Supreme magic spells by one level.

for example, if he matched it with spell endurance, he could only use spell slots that were 5 levels higher than the spell. he did not need to use spell slots that were 6 levels higher.

This was better than nothing.

but even so, this ability to reduce the circle number itself corresponded to the legendary ability of the same name.

therefore, the value of the ability of the ‘super magic sculpting master’ was difficult to measure.

teacher, is there such a place in the floating city? ” zhao xu continued to ask.

hehe, zhongxia, are you so sure that I’ll perform the chaos dual cleansing for you? ” antonya scoffed.

“teacher, there’s a saying on earth that goes,” the long can’t see the shu.”” zhao xu laughed.

At this moment, Antonya stood up. The hems of the robe she was wearing were a little too long, so she could only drag it along on the floor.

In the end, Antonya put a pile of discarded documents into the Dissection Box, turned around to look at Zhao Xu, and said, ” “I hope you remember what you said today.”

After that, Antonya found a low-level wizard for Zhao Xu so that he could successfully counter her spell in a spell battle.

Then, Zhao Xu started drawing the magic circle on the ground according to the requirements of the ritual written in the magic book.

in order to ensure the success rate of the ritual, zhao xu found some broken gemstones in the waste that antonya had thrown away and ground them into powder again.

This was especially true for the two types of gemstones, Emerald and Jade. They only had slight flaws, and Antonya had thrown them away without any heartache.

as zhao xu worked on it, he sighed at how different the fates of wizards were.

as a magical gem, emerald was commonly seen in some expensive spells, such as resurrection.

therefore, one emerald would cost 5000 gold coins.

Zhao Xu estimated that the slight crack wouldn’t affect the power of the spell at all, but to the rich Antonya, it was just that much.

in the end, zhao xu lit up the special incense in the middle of the ritual and sat down to meditate.

Slowly, as Zhao Xu’s thoughts started to get empty, the lines on the ritual circle started to light up.

the mysterious energy in the void began to pour into it, slowly activating the entire ritual.

antonya was sitting on a high-legged chair and quietly looking at zhao xu.

ritualistic magic was time-consuming, and the various runes and incantations required were complicated. generally, only educated spellcasters or scholars could perform it.

However, in history, there were many unlucky people who suffered because of the ritual. The most common was the Abyssal Demon that was summoned by the summoning power.

It was also like performing a teleportation ritual, but the result was completely different.

That was why Antonya had put a time backtrack talisman on her chest today.

If anything happened to Zhao Xu, she would activate the talisman without any hesitation. in the end, the time in this room would be forcibly reversed back to six seconds ago.

In other words, everything that happened during this round would be canceled.

Antonya was still a little worried about how Zhao Xu had been able to cause so much trouble during the ceremony.
