I was imprisoned by witches

Chapter 72 Growth of Water Polo

Lin En's only offensive magic at present is the level 0 Torrent spell. Its lethality is very limited. It is very likely that a small water column will spray over it, which will directly get a charming big eye roll: Can you do it?

But this situation can be avoided with the water ball spell. It has a power rating of 3 in the Mage Guild, which is 3 times higher than the torrent spell.

This three times is not as simple as adding up numbers. Three torrent spells are far less powerful than one water polo spell, which directly determines whether the defense can be broken!
Lin En opened the small magic book in his hand and thought: Even if it is level 3 magic, I should be able to learn it all at once, right?

At least it was like this in the online games he had played.The player gets the magic book, double-clicks it to use it, the magic book disappears, and the magic is learned directly.

But for the natives of this world, it's different.

The magic book only provides a circuit in their bodies that can resonate with magic, just like setting up a transportation track, but whether they can use magic depends on their personal understanding.

Lin En thought as she opened the magic book and read it.

This water polo magic book is made up of a piece of transparent blue crystal. You can see the surging water on the cover. When you touch it with your hands, it does feel like you have put it into the water, but when you pull it out, your fingertips are not wet. feel.

"Magic is amazing." Linn sighed sincerely.

He opened the cover and found that the pages were densely packed with obscure magical runes.

Putting your fingertips on the runes, those things entered the body along the fingertips like living creatures.

It was as if the water elf was massaging every organ, and magical knowledge entered his brain, making Linn's whole body tremble with comfort.

At the same time, he received a system prompt: [Level 3 magic book * water polo spell detected, do you want to learn it? 】

Lin En was delighted. Sure enough, she could learn directly just like regular online games!

A normal person can master level 3 magic in a month. Lin En virtually saves the complicated entry time. As the level of magic increases, this advantage will gradually expand.

That's why he dared to pursue Bernice. If he were really an ordinary child, he wouldn't have the confidence at all.

"Learn water polo!"

He recited silently, and saw the runes on the magic book opening like a dam, drilling into his body crazily. He felt his brain rumbling, filled with magical knowledge.

Three seconds later, the blue magic book in his hand turned into a blank 'waste book'.

There is no magic power at all, and everything is absorbed by the user.

Now that it had no value, Linn stuffed the book under the mattress and burned it when the opportunity arose.

Immediately, he opened his personal panel, and [Water Ball Technique] appeared in the skill bar.

Magic: [Water Ball Technique]

Mana cost: 20
Proficiency: 0% (entry level)
Description: Shoots a bursting water ball that travels in a straight line.

Looking at the introduction in the skill column, Lin En thought to himself: "You are indeed proficient in level 3 magic!"

Compared with Riptide, the latter is a level 0 magic with no growth potential, so there is no proficiency.Summoning Lan Yi is an inherent magic in the star core. Growth comes from the star core, and it also does not require proficiency.

Level 3 Water Polo is, in a sense, the first magic that Linn learned.

In the book "Elementary Magic Encyclopedia" he read, all the growth stages of water polo are recorded:

When entering, shoot a water ball that goes straight.

Skilled, shoot a water ball that can change its trajectory.

Mastery, can launch multiple water balls at the same time.

Master, the water ball that was shot split into more small water balls and burst again.

Completely comprehend, the power is doubled!
Each stage after the growth of magic has obvious improvement. If fully understood, the level 3 water polo technique will exert the power of level 6 magic!

Lin En had heard that there was an epic mage who was famous in the empire for his water ball technique. A water ball could reach the size of a mountain, and the small water balls scattered by the explosion would continue to explode and destroy a large city in just the blink of an eye.

"However, it seems difficult to fully understand it." Lin En looked at his water polo skills. The proficiency level was 0%. If he wanted to improve, he must use it more, practice more, and constantly understand the magical rules of water polo skills in actual combat.

Linn thought for a moment and made a decision. He first upgraded his proficiency to the basic level so that the water polo technique could 'turn corners'. Otherwise, facing an extremely agile assassin like Bernice, it would be impossible to hit a hundred water polo balls if he threw them.

As for the place to practice magic, he chose the trial stone that was already 'empty'.The trial stone can still be entered, but there will be no rewards inside, and challengers can only hang out in the final BOSS hall.

Linn needed a safe place to practice magic without being discovered, and the empty trial stone was just the thing.

Holding the trial stone, he lay down on the bed and injected magic power into it.

[Challenger, do you want to come back? 】

The voice of the God of Courage came to mind.

"Let me in!"

[You can call out the magic door to leave at any time by touching the stone pillar. 】

Lynn's body fell into a deep sleep, and his soul came to the trial space.

There was no longer a swordsman in the dojo.

At the place where the swordsman died, a stone tablet appeared. Lin En went over to touch it, and simple words floated out from the stone tablet:
[Unknown Swordsman of Level 5]

[Challenge time: 89 seconds]

【Do you want to challenge again? (You will not receive rewards if you succeed in the challenge)]

Shadow of the undead.

Lynn recognized the origin of the stele. After the boss of each trial stone dies, he can continue to challenge. If the challenger is killed, he will suffer certain mental trauma, such as exhaustion.

Usually if you don't get killed multiple times in a day, you can recover after taking a short rest, which can be regarded as a free sparring partner.

"If I can kill the swordsman within 89 seconds, I will have the strength to challenge Bernice!"

Lin En summoned the swordsman with a trying attitude.

"Water polo!"

He chanted the incantation instilled in his head from the magic book. Before he finished reciting, the swordsman rushed to him with a grin and slashed at his head with a knife.

Lynn sent it.

The figure turned into a point of light and condensed in the center of the hall.

His figure became fainter and his mana dropped by 10 points.

Lynn hadn't recovered from the death, and his first thought was: the spell of water polo is so f*ckingly difficult to pronounce!

The Riptide Technique only has three syllables, but the Water Polo Technique is #&￥&%￥*%...*%? ! #, a total of eleven magic syllables!
Each syllable requires special skills to pronounce. Linn was just instilled with knowledge from the magic book, and when he sang it, he was extremely jerky.

After all, magical syllables are the language of dragons. Dragons are the first race of life to master magic. Humans have stolen dragon language. After thousands of years of research, it has evolved into a language suitable for human speech.

Even so, some syllables are very difficult to pronounce!The vocal cords need to vibrate to an extremely high frequency, much higher than the real dolphin sound, which requires the use of magic to assist.

When the chanted spell triggers a certain command of the magic law network, the magic power in the body resonates with the circuit, thus producing a spell.

This is an extremely complicated process, the more advanced the magic, the longer the spell and the more syllables.

In other words, the length of time the spell is chanted determines the mage's actual combat ability.

Lin En sorted out his thoughts and felt that he should at least reduce the chanting time of the water polo technique to one second, otherwise it would be in vain when facing the assassin profession!
He began practicing with purpose.

With his palm facing the far wall, he chanted at the fastest speed. This time he shortened it to two seconds, but due to a certain syllable error, the water polo technique failed.

The eleven syllables contain two sudden transitions between high and low, so it is very easy to make mistakes when singing quickly.

Lin En practiced hard for half an hour, and finally managed to use the water polo technique within two seconds.

A palm-sized blue water polo appeared from his palm, holding a tail of blue light, and crashed straight into the opposite wall!

Just a bang was heard, and a pothole the size of a basin exploded on the earthen wall!
