Full Time Mage Lord

  Chapter 55 The Mage's Road Has Just Begun

   It was a new day, and Xiuyin's mage life in the Star City Mage Guild's second day began.

  In Master Sean's laboratory, Sean really discovered that his granddaughter Tifa seemed to have become much better since last night.

   "Xiu Yin, today you are going to learn how to become a real mage!"

  Hearing Master Xiao En's serious words, Xiu Yin immediately straightened his body.

  Put up your chest, tuck in your belly, raise your head, and there are three folds between your Adam's apple and your chin...

Seeing Xiu Yin's appearance, Master Xiao En suddenly remembered that Kilok had come to him specially when he was in Bone City, and told him that Xiu Yin had a very good potential as a fighter, especially that he could use a small crossbow Shoot the dagger flying fast through the air.

   This move is something that even some professional crossbowmen can't do!

  Seeing Xiu Yin's appearance now, he felt more like a knight than the most serious knight in the Starlight Knights.

  Master Xiao En couldn't help touching his head, maybe what Kilok said was right.

  Of course, Master Xiao En will not deny Xiu Yin's possible achievements on the path of mage, after all, Xiu Yin has shown him the attitude of holding the key to possibility.

   "Ahem—"

Using coughs and coughs to ease the thinking process when he saw Xiu Yin's appearance just now, Master Xiao En continued to say to Xiu Yin, "The foundation of a mage is to master magic. Tell me about it, Xiu Yin, you Have you mastered those magics now?"

   "Master, I only master the fireball technique now!" Xiu Yin still stood upright when he spoke, and answered Master Xiao En's question with a resonant voice.

"whee…"

   Tifa, who was listening on the side, couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiu Yin's appearance.

  Master Xiao En scolded Xiu Yin, "Don't be so restrained, Xiu Yin, what you want to become is a mage now, not a very serious knight on the surface!"

"Oh…"

  Shu Yin touched his head at this point, and finally there was no sense of seriousness on his face that made Master Xiao En look a bit annoying.

   "I only mastered the fireball technique." Although Master Xiao En had expected that Xiu Yin would not master too much magic, he did not expect that he could only know one kind of magic.

Seeing Master Xiao En's expression, Xiu Yin also guessed what the master was thinking, and scolded the original "him" in his heart, "What a waste, he knows how to use magic to kill me. Now being looked down upon by the master."

  Master Xiao En felt a sense of loss, "Then, right in front of me, demonstrate your process of casting fireball, and be serious."

"Um!"

  Xiu Yin knew that this time he must not let the master look down on him again. With a movement in his heart, the mental power quickly gathered in the palm of his hand, and the process of concretizing the fire attribute soul power was completed in an instant.

   Whoo!

  A ball of fire floated out of Xiu Yin's right palm.

   "Oh?" Master Xiao En let out a surprise.

  I saw that Xiu Yin could cast spells quickly, but that was still the distance from the VIP platform on the martial arts arena to the inside of the venue.

  But seeing Xiu Yin cast the fireball technique at such a close distance, Master Xiao En felt very surprised.

  In an instant, watching the fireball with his eyes as strong as a magister, it was really only an instant.

  The mage uses the fireball technique, simply speaking, to condense the soul power through his own spirit, and then release it into the palm of his hand. Finally, the fire attribute soul power is concretized into a flame with a physical form.

  It is easy to say, but it is not easy to do in practice, especially for novice mages, the most critical step is to make the fire attribute soul power manifest into a physical form.

  This process is controlled outside the body. In addition to the affinity of the caster for fire elements, the most important thing is the strength of the mental power level.

  For example, Sean, who is already a magister, relies on his strong mental power to release a low-level spell, which is also an instant effect.

  But Xiu Yin, what he showed in front of Master Xiao En was not the concept of instant fire, but the master barely felt the process of condensing the fire attribute soul power, and the flame jumped out directly.

  At this time, Xiu Yin saw the surprised expression on the master's face and didn't speak again. He was afraid that he might dissatisfy the master, so he asked nervously, "Master, is there anything wrong?"

   "Well—I remember you said that you have been at the level of mental power for the past two years?"

   "Yes." Xiu Yin nodded.

   "So, for the past two years... have you been practicing fireball?"

"Yes."

Master Xiao En felt that he had grasped the problem, quickly picked up the notebook on the experiment table, and began to record, while still talking to himself, "If a trainee mage spends two years practicing fireball It can also achieve the effect of fast casting..."

Seeing that Master Xiao En recorded such a record, Xiu Yin was also a little speechless. He didn't lie, but it was obvious that the mutation happened after he took possession of this body. The original "he" was stupid. Of course, Xiu Yin He will definitely not talk to Master Xiao En.

After Master Xiao En recorded the information he regarded as newly discovered, he said with a somewhat smug look, "Well, it's generally as I expected, the first time I saw you in Desolate Bone City, you can quickly I was a little surprised when I cast the spell, but now it all makes sense."

Under the gaze of Xiu Yin who meant "Master, please continue", Master Xiao En continued to analyze, "First of all, it took too much time to practice only one fireball technique, and you do have an affinity for the fire element." conditions, I think this is the primary reason why you can cast spells quickly."

   "There is another secondary reason, which is the first problem you have to overcome on the path of a mage."

  Master Xiao En paused for a while when he said this, saying that this is the key point, "That is the problem of the purity of magic!"

   "Purity of magic?" This is actually the second time Xiuyin heard this word. The first time the master mentioned that Tifa's flame magic is too pure, and it will directly burn the cup of milk tea.

About to enter the most important topic of the day, Master Xiao En signaled Xiu Yin to extinguish the little fireball in his hand first, and then the two sat down at the experiment table together, and Tifa also sat down to the master without a naughty word. side.

   "Actually, from the beginning, I thought about why you can cast spells quickly. Now that the distance is closer, I can confirm this point, that is, the mental power contained in the fireball technique you cast is far from enough!"

  Master Xiao En said, stretching out his right hand, which was full of vicissitudes of time, and at the same time the palm was turned out under Xiu Yin's gaze, a ball of fire floated on his palm.

  Shu Yin could feel the heat coming from the fireball, and in terms of the heat alone, it was indeed much hotter than the fireball cast by Xiu Yin.

   "Then, shouldn't this be the reason why the master is stronger than me?"

  Xu Yin asked, making Master Xiao En smile with relief, "Of course not, in fact, I only invested a level 2 mental power in this fireball."

  Shu Yin also stretched out his right hand to the master's right hand, and once again cast the fireball.

  Comparing the two fireballs, in terms of size alone, the one in Xiuyin's hand is two circles smaller. Besides the temperature, Xiuyin also noticed that there is still some difference in the color of the flames between the two.

   "Is this the purity of magic that the master said?" Xiuyin immediately understood that the same fireball technique and the same mental power, but the difference in concentration does exist.

   "Then, why is there such a gap?" Xiu Yin wanted to know this.

  Master Xiao En smiled slightly, "Actually, yesterday, I already thought that if the reason why you can instant fireball is the same as I thought, then the reason for the gap is very simple."

   "What is it?" Xiu Yin's eyes were a little burning, this is the primitive instinct of human beings, the desire and pursuit of power.

  Master Xiao En hopes that the young people will show this kind of look, because it is in this way that human beings can defeat monsters, defeat barrenness, and become the masters of this continent.

   "It's your casting speed."

Master Xiao En's answer was very indifferent, but this answer sounded like a bolt from the blue to Xiuyin, because just a moment ago, he thought that quick spellcasting was a big advantage for him compared to other mages, It is also the biggest difference between me and the former "half-handed mage Xiuyin".

If fast casting is denied, it will undoubtedly deal a great blow to Xiu Yin. Without the advantage of fast casting, Xiu Yin suddenly wonders if he, who is almost seventeen years old, still has the meaning of continuing to be a mage, because he has He who is very mediocre in mage talent will be even more mediocre...

  Master Xiao En suddenly noticed that Xiu Yin's eyes reflected the shaking in his heart. This quick casting may be the reason why Xiu Yin persisted until today.

   "Xiu Yin, don't be discouraged by this, and this can be made up for by strengthening the practice of spiritual power!"

  Master Xiao En didn't want Xiu Yin to lose confidence because of this incident. Sure enough, after hearing what the master said, Xiu Yin immediately returned to the previous confidence in his eyes.

   "Really, master, is it true that you can make up for it through practice!?"

  Master Xiao En answered Xiu Yin firmly, "Yes, of course this is also the beginning of the most boring and tedious mage's path..."
