Hughes lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, his father's words kept echoing in his head.

"Wizard, I must become a wizard, maybe I can find my way back" thought about Hughes and fell into a deep sleep.

In the forest of the castle, Xius was woken up by Count Clay early in the morning and went to the woods, saying that he wanted to personally test Xiusi's cultivation.

Hughes and Count Clay stood facing each other, their swords ready to strike.

Xiusi's eyes slowly became serious, this is his first battle in this world, he can't be sloppy, although the opponent is his father, he will not be ruthless to himself, but Xiusi knows that if he is not serious, he will definitely be beaten very badly.

Count Clay nodded in satisfaction as he watched as Hughes slowly entered the battle state.

"Theseus, you have to remember, even if you want to become a wizard, but you have to remember that staying alive is the most important thing, in the absence of absolute strength, whether it is a wizard or a knight, if you can survive, you will be the winner"

After speaking, Count Clay had already drawn his long sword and prepared for the attack.

"Chip, scanning father's body data"

"Drop, Clay Bruch, Strength 4.7 Agility 4.1 Constitution 4.3 Status: Health"

"Drop, detect that there is a big gap between the host and its strength, turn on combat support"

Xiusi instantly exerted his strength, and then swung his long sword, and a faint light flashed on the long sword's body. The longsword quickly slashed towards Count Clay, and with the power of Theseus 3.1, the sound of breaking the sky could be faintly heard as he swung the longsword.

"Bell!!" Count Clay blocked the sword of Theseus.

Xius's body quickly retreated, and the force generated by the collision of the two swords made Xiusi's tremble slightly, and the long sword almost fell off.

"Chip, turn on the combat simulation and find out the maximum possible defeat scenario"

"Drop, mission establishment completed, combat assistance turned on, simulation scheme started"

Everything in front of Hughes' eyes appeared in the picture of everything around him.

Hughes slashed at Count Clay fiercely, exerting all his muscles with all his might.

"Drop, the position where the opponent is expected to launch an attack, the best dodge plan, the top left forty-degree oblique stab of the long sword"

"Drink!" Hughes picked up the basic knight's breathing technique, concentrating his whole body on his arm, and picked Count Clay's sword apart.

Even so, Count Clay slashed the end of his sword through the shoulder of Theseus.

The smell of blood permeated the air.

Count Clay kicked his feet and threw himself at Hughes.

"Drop, please host backward jump"

Hughes dodged Count Clay with a backward jump, and the sword in his hand stabbed out with the sound of the wind.

Count Clay's face changed slightly, and he steadied himself, almost stabbing him with his sword.

And he also found that Hughes was inferior to him in terms of strength and speed, but Hughes seemed to see through him and could anticipate his moves.

Straight stabs, oblique stabs, transposition slashing, the pace under the feet of Hughes is getting faster and faster, he knows that it is impossible for him to defeat Count Clay by hitting hard, so he can only follow the prompts of the system to constantly find out the loopholes in Count Clay.

The chip's chime kept echoing in Xiuth's mind, and Xiuth was completely immersed in the battle. Basic swordsmanship is becoming more and more coherent.

The long sword in his hand was swung smoothly without dragging his feet. He fully exerted his strength.

"Bell bell ... ！”

The sound of the collision of the long sword became more and more urgent, and the way Xiusi played was to rely on the chip to find the loophole, and none of the swords were extremely accurate, and the long sword slashed like a hurricane in the ear.

The more Count Clay fought, the more frightened he became, and he slowly realized that he had been on the defensive. The strength of the whole body will be suppressed by Hughes.

From the moment he was close to Theseus, he began to be on the passive side.

In the attack, Hughes did not dare to be distracted at all, knowing that the power of Count Clay's 4.7 was not a joke.

"Drink!" Count Clay screamed, his muscles swelled, and after a slash, he quickly turned around and spun with the force of absolute power, knocking Hughes away.

Knocked away, Theseus sat on the ground, panting, a hint of scarlet from the corner of his mouth.

"Chip, call up the body data" Hughes felt a burning pain in his chest.

"Drip, Hugh Bruch, Strength: 2.5 Agility: 2.6 Constitution 2.6 Status: Mild Blood Loss, Stats Reduced"

"Alright, that's it," Clay retracted his sword.

"If it weren't for my power to suppress you, I might not have been able to win you, not bad," Earl Clay was pleased with Hughes's performance.

"Come to my room when you rest, Count Clay turned and went back to the castle.

Theseus sat down on the ground, the bleeding from his wounds had stopped, and he stood up and patted the dust off his body and turned to the castle.

Hughes returned to the castle and pushed his father's room open, only to see Count Clay, sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and pondering, holding a cloth bag in his hand.

"Father," said Hughus, softly waking his father up.

"Oh, you're here, come and sit down"

"Here, take it, be sure to put it away, don't let anyone know," said Count Clay solemnly.

Hughes took the sack, already knowing in his heart what it was.

When the bag was opened, pieces of black, crystal-like stones appeared in front of Xius's eyes.

"Drops, unknown energy detected, absorption enhances cell activity, whether it is absorbed or not"

"Don't absorb, don't absorb first" Xiusi hurriedly stopped the chip. Now that he has absorbed it, it will be troublesome, and he can't explain it clearly.

"You prepare well these days, three days later, I will send you to Soto City to participate in the test, it is estimated that there should be a lot of people by then, you deal with it carefully"

"Then what will happen to the castle if you go, Father?"

"Isn't there still your Uncle Rael's, it's enough to have him"

"It's father, then I'll go back first, so I won't disturb my father's rest" Xiusi slowly withdrew.

Back in his room, Theseus looked at the magic stone and pulled out the ring of the Circle of Shadows.

"Chip, detect the energy in the magic stone, whether it is useful for the ring"

"Drop! Unknown energy in the ring can be activated with magic stone energy, and after testing, the energy has a development effect on the host's brain region, whether it is absorbed and transformed"

"How many magic stones do you need for transformation?"

"Drop!, 3 magic stones are needed"

"It's good that you don't want much, so let's start the transformation," Xius ordered, holding three magic stones in his hand.

"Drop! Start Converting"

The magic stone in Xius slowly turned into powder, and a strange energy gathered in Xiusi's hands.

Xius took out the ring, and the energy gathered in his hand was instantly absorbed by the ring. The entire ring released a dark purple light into Xius's body, rushing down his chest and into Xius's brain.

"Ahh

"Damn, what the hell is this?" the pain in his head intensified. Theseus's consciousness grew confused.

When Hughes woke up late at night, Hughes sat up and rubbed his still swollen head.

"What the hell is that, it hurts so much, the chip calls up my body data"

"Drop!Theseus Bruch, Strength: 3.4 Agility: 3.2 Constitution: 3.2 Mental Power: 1.5 Status: Health (Note: Strength is increased by 0.2, agility is increased by 0.4, Constitution is increased by 0.1, mental power is activated)"

"My attributes have increased so much or are they almost the same, and what's going on with this spiritual power, I didn't have it before."

"Preliminary analysis, the wizard in the world where the host is located is to enhance the spiritual power to become stronger (note: the information is insufficient, can not be accurately judged, please improve the material about the wizard)"

"Wizard, is it spiritual power? What is the use of this spiritual power, the idea in the earth novel?"

"No" Xius slowly felt the effect of mental power, Xius found that his brain was abnormally clear, and his understanding of swordsmanship deepened, not only that, but Xius found that even though it was late at night, he could still see the things in the room.

"Is this spiritual power, why didn't it before, it stands to reason that a person can't have a trace of spiritual power" Xiusi fell into deep thought.

"Drop, it can't be displayed because the host's previous psychic power has not been stimulated"

"So, does the energy in this ring stimulate my mental power? I'm really getting more and more curious about the wizarding world now," Theseus touched his chin and looked at the ring.

"Chip, is there any usable energy in the ring?"

"No energy found"

"Well," Theseus was a little disappointed.

"Sure enough, do you still think about it yourself, the energy in the ring is gone after one use, I don't know this ring, I go to the Shadow Ring and don't recognize it, if you use the energy inside to verify, it will be troublesome"
