Chapter 33: Upgrading (Complete)
For the upgrade of the mage and samurai, Aisha and Chuck are practicing desperately. Haring and the others were not far behind, constantly practicing their newly learned kung fu. Ruohan is still the same, making arrows for Linda every day, almost all the wooden arrows used for Linda's training are made by Ruohan, this berserker with natural powers, as long as he can control his own strength, he is a rare super soldier.
The hard skills that he learned from Wang Feng seemed to be specially tailored for Harlem and them, and as his proficiency continued to rise, he could feel the amazing energy bursting out of his body. This energy is completely different from the energy in the previous dragoon training, the previous training was just to improve the physical strength and adapt to the dragon rage in order to be able to fuse with the dragon smoothly in the future, and it was far from enough to become a master. But now I can really feel that I am mastering this new power that is completely my own.
Under the deliberate teaching of the boss, the new members of the wolf army also slowly adapted to the inconvenience of the restraint technique. In this case, it is indeed much faster than using simple instruments before. The combination of magic and combat skills worked perfectly in the training, and everyone who participated in the training could feel their own leaps and bounds.
There is also a benefit of the boss's exercises, every time you are exhausted, the effect of the exercises is several times better than in the normal state, and everyone can feel their progress in a short time.
Wang Feng studied archery skills with Linda a few days ago, and after teaching Linda a new shooting method, he couldn't help itchy, so he became the target of Linda and Aisha again. However, with the more and more proficient external body protection true qi and the body protection techniques taught to Haring, the wind blade and arrow loss could not break through at all, and after a few days, it was already boring.
Suo asked them to practice on their own, while Wang Feng asked Aisha's grandfather, Chim, about some magic questions.
It's not that Wang Feng wants to forcibly break through the demonic barriers in this world, but Wang Feng has an unusual interest in some things that can increase his strength. Maybe it's a habit developed in the wolf army before, no matter what martial arts or genre, as long as it is possible, Wang Feng will try his best to figure it out. Therefore, his knowledge is becoming more and more profound, and his martial arts are getting higher and higher.
Aisha's knowledge of magic was still in its infancy. Although she is already a magical genius recognized by everyone, when it comes to her perception of magic, she is not at the same level as the old Chim. So, a good chat with Chim should be very rewarding.
Chim is also very interested in the miracles that Wang Feng has created in a row. Years of political experience as a court magician had taught him that the young man, who seemed not much older than Chuck, was a treasure, and from Aisha's mouth, he knew that in less than half a year, this young man had awakened a berserker from a mad nightmare and taken back a group of dragoons from the hands of the gods. What could be more interesting than turning an ordinary elf into a fearsome archer scout sniper, and for those who are in high positions and loyal to their country. What's more, the generalissimo of the empire is still haunting how to take such a person for his own use.
With their respective purposes in mind, the two began to have a cordial conversation.
As an elder, Chim was always embarrassed not to answer Wang Feng's questions. So, I patiently explained some basic principles of magic to Wang Feng.
Like Aisha, Chim himself also specializes in wind magic, which makes Wang Feng, who has only been exposed to wind magic, communicate with him very well. After communicating the training tasks assigned to Aisha with Chim, Chim became very excited and began the experiment on the spot.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and he explained the principle to Chim a little, and Chim has already gotten up and pulled Wang Feng into the magic trial ground. The first practice began against the black stone erected in the field. However, this time it was not a high-level magic used, but the simplest entry-level wind spell - Wind Blade.
The old fritters who have been tempered for decades are indeed different, and their ability to control magic is not the same as that of Aisha in the heavens and on the earth. In just a few exercises, I have mastered the technique of strengthening the wind blade. At present, the effect of the wind blade strengthened by the wind magic master is indeed very different from the effect strengthened by the junior mage Aisha, and the traces engraved on the black gold stone are more than an inch deeper than the traces of the junior mage.
Chim was also shocked at the time, he had been practicing wind magic all his life, and he had also tried his best to improve the power of magic, and he also worked hard to cultivate spiritual power, but he was just trying to improve the power of those large-scale high-level magic, and he had little effect after years of research, and he never thought that such a simple introductory magic could easily become such a powerful super introductory magic, at least the power of a single could be comparable to the fourth-level magic that Chim could master.
The most important thing is that it is not very difficult to increase the power of this magic, with Chim's years of research experience, and Wang Feng's finishing touch, Chim's magical cognition seems to have entered a completely unknown new realm full of all kinds of treasures. Years of research and desire suddenly found a breakthrough, and the excitement in my heart can be imagined.
But after all, Chim had also been honed from years of life and fighting, and he endured surprise and excitement, and then continued the topic with Wang Feng that had just begun.
Martial arts and magic can sometimes learn from each other, but the difference is that the internal sources of energy are different. The former requires a strong body, excellent bones, and the ultimate enlightenment, while the latter has no special requirements for the body, but has strict conditions in terms of wisdom and spiritual strength. This will lead to the existing demonic barriers, and it is also the reason why there are always fewer magicians than warriors.
The old mage who had studied his field very deeply poured his experience over the years to the young man in front of him, even he himself was a little strange, he only wanted to say a little, but as he spoke, the young man was able to grasp some questions and discuss with him, and when he said the answer that he had thought about for a long time, Wang Feng could always use another experience such as martial arts to give a new interpretation of his questions and answers. And this direction was something that Chim had never considered.
Perhaps it was the prejudice of everyone on this continent, people who practiced magic never thought that these questions could be explained in this way from the perspective of martial arts, and people who practiced martial arts never thought of adding these contents of magic to their cultivation experience. At this point, Wang Feng is really an outlier, perhaps because he is not a person from this world at all, and his thoughts have never started from the common sense of this world.
However, the two of them confirmed each other in this way, and they both felt that they benefited a lot. Chim couldn't help but say his years of experience like a bean, and Wang Feng got rare guidance from the old wise man's mouth, and his keen thinking can always derive questions about martial arts from magic experience, and these questions found their way in Chim's subsequent answers, and then found the questions in the answers, and the two of them had a long conversation in the empty and vast testing ground. Sometimes Chim jumped up and sent out a few magic spells casually, sometimes Wang Feng jumped up and waved it indiscriminately for a long time, and even, the two of them quietly didn't say a word, thinking with their eyes closed.
In short, these two strange old and young people talked for two whole days without sleep, and in the end, the two of them had the same feeling of "seeing each other late".
Wang Feng's internal strength is profound, this fatigue is nothing, Chim has practiced magic for many years, except for being a little tired physically, his spirit is very strong. But finally I felt hungry.
Getting up and looking around, the two of them were suddenly startled. The few pillars of black gold stone erected around them turned out to be a pile of rubble and powder. When the two of them were thinking, they couldn't help but practice the experience they had just gotten, although these black gold stones were hard, they couldn't stand the ravages of two such perverted people, and turned into a pile of practice ashes.
Chim was very happy, he hadn't felt like this for a long time, and he believed that the young man opposite felt the same way. The young man's eclectic ideas led him to a world he had been looking forward to, and although he hadn't eaten or meditated for two days, he felt like he had never been more energetic.
Wang Feng also gained a lot, although he couldn't learn magic, but with the old mage's decades of experience exchanges, the source of some martial arts' internal strength and the skills of using external force and internal force have been fully improved, and the plateau phenomenon that has been confused for a long time seems to have passed.
Chim also knew very well that most of the black gold stones were powdered by Wang Feng, and the magic power he suddenly realized could only chop those black gold stones, but the young man casually hit the equally hard stone pillars into powder. But Chim didn't plan to tell Norton about this, after all, he and Wang Feng were friends now.
Of course, Wang Feng had already noticed when he came in that the black gold stone pillar that had been pierced by the arrow was long gone.
On the field of the Imperial Forbidden Military Academy, Marshal Norton was loudly reprimanding several low-ranking generals.
"What are you talking about? Archers can't do it, what use does His Majesty want you to do, haven't you come up with some new way to train soldiers after all these years? It's really useless! A bunch of garbage, what is the use of the empire raising you for so many years! You better go home and eat your little viscount's money honestly, the army of the empire does not need such waste as you. "It's almost with a roar.
A few pro-soldiers had already come over to blow them away, and a low-level general suddenly said: "Marshal, even if you want to drive us away, you have to give a real reason, don't use this impossible task as an excuse!"
Norton looked at the general and smiled angrily, "Okay, I'll convince you." He made a gesture.
A few soldiers brought up a pillar made of black gold and stood in the middle of the school field.
On the jet-black pillar, an ordinary wooden arrow was quietly embedded in the pillar, and the arrow shaft was perfect.
Relying on Wang Feng's arrow, Norton successfully expelled several black sheep who were messing around in the army with their titles, and his mood became very good. Next, he promoted several low-level generals that he had long liked to the positions of those people just now, ordered them to train well, and returned to the military tent with his own soldiers.
In the military tent, all the pro-soldiers were dismissed, and Norton was alone inside, thinking quietly.
At this extraordinary moment, any sudden appearance of uncontrollable forces may cause immeasurable consequences to the current situation, Wang Feng is a person, and he can't guess the depth. Thankfully, Chuck and Aisha had kept him on a tether from the beginning, at least for now, he was still doing something good for his empire in his own country.
Yes, that's it. Norton couldn't help but rejoice in the idea that had just popped into his head, well, think about it, go back and talk to Chim again, and see what he thinks.
After making up his mind, he immediately ordered his soldiers to go to the Wizard's Mansion to discuss matters.
After Wang Feng and Chim separated, they returned to the station. Now everyone is accustomed to his absence from the camp, not to mention that before he left, he made it clear to everyone that he had gone to Aisha's house, and everyone was even more relieved that they were training with peace of mind.
The sudden appearance of the artifact did not interfere with the normal mage and samurai upgrade conference, and the grand upgrade conference was held as scheduled. However, the influence of the artifact still changed something after all.
Because of the appearance of the artifact, there are many high-level members from the Magician Guild and the Samurai Guild, so by the way, there are more high-level personnel attending this upgrade conference, and correspondingly, these two ordinary upgrade conferences have become grand.
Naturally, the personnel in charge of this meeting were also very clever to raise the level of this promotion conference, and the test of ordinary personnel upgrading to junior magicians could not appear in this promotion conference, and at worst, it had to be the upgrade of junior magicians.
Fortunately, Aisha is barely qualified, otherwise it would be miserable, and it would be strange if this little mage didn't dismantle the entire venue.
Chuck was in the same situation, but barely managed. Not only did the samurai guild raise its ranks, but the guild's presidium would also be present at the scene. For this reason, all the people who are waiting to be promoted in the surrounding empires are also brought over, and this samurai promotion conference has been completely turned into an international event.
The problem, however, is that several countries are already hostile, and as a result, there may be bloodshed at the escalation conference. At the same time, in this samurai promotion conference, all participants must undergo a preliminary selection and elimination before they can be eligible to enter the conference.
Fortunately, the upgrade conference was not held at the same time, so Wang Feng came and gave guidance separately. Aisha, this little girl, will be handed over to his grandfather, after talking to this old mage once, he also admires him, and his old man personally took action to train this little girl, and it is not easy to catch.
Chuck is a little troublesome, although his foundation is good, but he can't compare with the dragoons, and he doesn't have the natural divine power like Ruohan, he only taught him a set of swords, and he is still in the familiarization stage, and he can't talk about being able to control the sword with murderous aura, and the only time he appeared was because he was swallowed by the cang, caused by grief and anger. However, the mid-level samurai should not be that powerful.
To be on the safe side, let's teach him something more, I heard that this upgrade has added a practical part in addition to the previous simple strength skill test. Each samurai to be promoted must be able to accept ten rounds of attacks from a samurai of a higher rank from another country before they can be recognized, and if they happen to run into someone from a hostile force, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be taken advantage of.
Harlem and the others are the best candidates for samurai recruitment, and Ruohan can also help a lot. When the two people are competing, Ruohan often releases a trace of murderous aura to one of them, intentionally or unintentionally, so that the two people in the duel must divide their energy to feel this murderous aura and judge the correct direction. This is also the capital to save your life in the future.
A few days later, the upgrade meeting of the lively Wizards' Guild finally began, and through the power of Chim and Norton, they easily obtained a few qualifications for admission, and Wang Feng took Linda and Chuck to watch the ceremony together.
The conference was held at the Imperial Praetorian Guard Academy in Celestial City, and was attended and presided over by the Emperor himself, giving the Wizards' Guild enough face. Of course, because of the emperor's attendance, only a few people were able to enter the venue.
Looking at these people attending the conference, they were either rich or noble, but they did not have any good seats, and they had to be searched almost like a robbery by a group of wolf-like guards to enter the door, and only a few high-ranking and hot figures could be exempted, after all, it was His Majesty the Emperor who was present, and the work of security and security must be thorough.
Wang Feng and the others were inevitably searched, but fortunately, when they came out this time, they didn't bring weapons, only Chuck brought his own treasure knife with him. But the son of the generalissimo of the Imperial Soldiers and Horses, who would dare to say a word if he casually brought a knife into the venue. Wang Feng's cold iron had been tied to his forearm, but he followed Chuck, and he passed after a while.
Chim, the old man, and Norton seem to have a very high status here, and the seats of a group of people are not far from the seat of the central emperor, and they are also the closest to the venue of the competition. The Emperor's seat had long been surrounded by a group of guards, and several people around him were big shots, including Chim and Norton. There are also a few people who are dressed similarly to Chim, presumably members of the Wizards' Guild.
Because there are too many important people, the level of this upgrade conference has also been raised a lot. Several military generals, including Norton, kept staring at the field after His Majesty the Emperor announced the start. As is customary, each general can choose from these mages and add them to their own magic legions. Now the high-level mages will be directly transferred by the special forces personnel, and everyone can only find treasures among the low-level mages.
The entire field was shrouded in a huge enchantment, which was in charge of the magic brigade directly under the Royal Guard. In addition, there is a small barrier around the emperor, which is directly under the responsibility of a court mage like Chim, to protect the emperor's safety. On the rostrum, there is also an enchantment opened by the members of the Wizards' Guild themselves to ensure the safety of the rostrum.
Of course, the finale has to wait until the end, so the initial upgrades are all performances by junior magicians.
It is not difficult to say that it is difficult for a junior mage to upgrade this time, but it is not easy to say that it is not easy. The rule is to use your best defensive magic to resist a round of attacks from the referee, and at the same time use your best attack magic to test the black lazuli in the test field to reach a depth of one point, and then there is a certain degree on the magic test crystal.
The magic crystal is a kind of magic core that tests the magic value, and the magic power injected is different, the magic core will show different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and every time it is higher than a level, it will change an eye color, red is low, and purple is high. Beginner mages need to be orange to be able to do so.
Because this is the occasion attended by the emperor, some people with poor strength who need to rely on luck have been screened first, and the rest can be taken.
Aisha was third, and the first two passed without a hitch. The two are both men, one is fire-based, and the other is water-based, and the one from the fire type is already middle-aged, and he is still impacting the intermediate magician. However, his magic attainments are quite high, the use of fire magic is extremely proficient, and the magic crystal has reached the green level, it seems that he is old and has good magic power. Both of them passed the test with ease.
Aisha played, everyone knew that he was Chim's granddaughter, and he was a rare magic genius in recent years, so several referees didn't dare to embarrass her too much, and the symbolic surname attacked a few times, and Aisha easily blocked it with a small wind shield.
The referees deliberately let out the water How could several high-ranking members of the Magicians Guild not see it, and one of them was very angry, and turned around and whispered a few words to His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, and Chim heard a secret cry of bitterness. He actually wanted to test his granddaughter himself to show the fairness of the Wizards' Guild.
His Majesty the Emperor, of course, knew who Aisha was, turned his head to look at Chim, and with an inquiring look, Chim nodded, and His Majesty the Emperor gave permission. After saluting the Emperor, the mage walked out of the barrier and descended into the field.
Of course, the high-ranking members of the Wizards' Guild are not junior intermediate mages, this person has at least reached the stage of intermediate magicians. It is only one level lower than the current Chim, and he has to test Aisha himself, of course, it is not as simple as the referee deliberately releasing water. However, Wang Feng had already seen Chim's nod and was very relieved about Aisha.
The mid-level mage began to chant a spell in a low voice, he was a water mage, but this time it was an ice pick with a slightly lethal second grade. It wasn't until the end of the sorcerer's chant that Aisha whispered a few words, and she still used the wind shield.
An entry-level wind shield wants to block the second-level water attack magic issued by the magician, and those who know the goods are deeply dissatisfied with Aisha's trust. Even Norton began to frown.
But it was obviously not what everyone expected, a sharp icicle arrow flew towards Aisha, but on the way it was blocked by a wind shield, which pierced the wind shield and continued forward. But there are still wind shields in the back, layered on top of each other, I don't know how many there are. Aisha had put more than thirty wind shields in front of her in such a short period of time, and the icicle had only broken through five floors before she was exhausted and blown away by the wind shield. Such a result is enough for Aisha to pass this assessment.
The magician obviously couldn't accept this result, in his opinion, the referee was obviously not strong enough for this girl, for the justice and honor of the Mage Guild, he must not let people who went through the back door like this through. Enraged, he unleashed his sharper attack magic, the fourth-level "Water Dragon Break".
A crystal clear water dragon appeared out of thin air, and after rolling in the air a few times, the magician reached out and pointed at Aisha, and the water dragon went straight to Aisha. At this time, even Chim couldn't sit still, such a magic was released by the magician, and it is estimated that the surrounding enchantments may not be able to resist it, let alone Aisha, who is only a junior magician. But he has the responsibility of protecting the emperor, and he really can't spare his hands to stop it.
Aisha didn't dare to be careless, and kept releasing the wind shield as fast as she could, which was also the fastest defensive spell she could use. The water dragon was riddled by the magician, and the wind shield of Aisha was defeated layer by layer, but the strong Aisha quickly released one wind shield after another to resist, and the water dragon could keep gaining energy, so the wind shield of Aisha was constantly consumed but not weakened.
After a long stalemate, the water dragon was not able to break through the wind shield net, which made the magician look a little embarrassed, and was about to increase his power, when a deep shout came from above: "Enough, she's just a junior magician!" Hearing this voice, the magician was stunned, stopped, and withdrew his magic.
He was a very upright person, so he would only take action when he found something wrong, but he forgot that his opponent was only a junior magician, and when he thought of this, he felt very sorry, and was about to say something, Aisha had already spoken.
"Honorable Mage, I've blocked your attacks, so please block one of my attacks as well. ”
What this inexplicable person has done has made Aisha go berserk.
