Free Web NovelChapter 173: Chapter 115: Silver Star’s Evolution, New Ability of a Tier 2 Wizard Item
All the gifts bore the Secret Technique Mark of a Wizard, and Pei Ze quickly found the name of the one who had sent the Fairy House.
’Tao Ping.’
Pei Ze made a mental note of the name, then continued sorting through the other items.
After more than half an hour, he finally finished inventorying everything, an irrepressible smile spreading across his face.
’All told, everything is worth over twenty thousand Magic Stone Coins.’
’Wizards really are generous.’
Pei Ze let out a breath of delight and stored the sorted items away in his Space Ring.
He planned to find a shop in the Inner City to sell the items he couldn’t use, while keeping the valuable ones for himself.
For instance, some of the rare metals were just enough to make a standard measure of the metallic combination for Silver Star.
Without hesitation, Pei Ze took out Silver Star and commanded it to absorb the metallic combination.
As the various metals rapidly liquefied and merged with Silver Star, the brilliant silver fluid immediately began to boil violently, bubbling madly like water with a loud SIZZLE.
Countless Energy Particles surged from all directions, scrambling to plunge into the silver liquid.
The liquid expanded rapidly as if being inflated, growing to the size of a medium-sized carriage in the blink of an eye.
Xiaoyi, who was nearby, was startled. With a WHOOSH, she flew into Pei Ze’s embrace and dove into his collar, leaving only her eyes peeking out to watch the liquid metal in astonishment.
The phenomenon lasted for a little over thirty seconds. Then, the silver liquid calmed down and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, stopping only when it was the size of a fist. It hovered motionlessly before Pei Ze.
Pei Ze grasped the liquid metal and focused his mind to perceive it. In an instant, a flood of information poured into his brain.
It was all about Silver Star’s new magical properties and functions after its evolution.
A few seconds later, Pei Ze’s gaze sharpened. In an instant, Silver Star sank into the pores of his palm, transforming into a dazzling silver sheen that spread rapidly up his hand.
Arms, torso, head, legs... In the blink of an eye, Pei Ze’s entire body was gleaming silver, as if coated in an extremely form-fitting silver membrane that gave off an indestructible quality.
’Is this Silver Star’s new ability...’
His eyes lit up with pleasant surprise.
He could clearly feel that Silver Star had fused with his skin, muscles, bones, tendons, and even his internal organs, becoming a part of his body. freewebnøvel.com
At the same time, he felt his physique had dramatically improved—a comprehensive enhancement.
’It strengthens my constitution and significantly boosts my Defense Power upon fusion.’
Pei Ze tapped his arm, producing a crisp sound like the clash of metal on metal.
’A very practical ability.’
He smiled faintly and withdrew Silver Star from his body.
Now that it had evolved into a Tier Two Witchcraft Artifact, Silver Star was not only able to fuse with its wielder, but its power in its conventional state was also greatly enhanced.
The Spiritual Power consumption, however, hadn’t decreased. In fact, it had increased.
That was of no concern, however.
With his current level of Spiritual Power after his breakthrough, Pei Ze had more than enough to support Silver Star’s consumption.
After putting away Silver Star, Pei Ze summoned the Eye of Omniscience.
[Spirit 5.12]
[Constitution 4.35]
[Task 1: Devise a Secret Technique to rapidly increase and condense Spiritual Power. Estimated cost: 585.5 energy.]
[Task 2: Refine Magic Tattoo. Estimated cost: 13.4 energy.]
Pei Ze thought for a moment and decided to pause the task of devising a method for increasing and condensing his Spiritual Power.
The most important thing right now was to improve his strength; he couldn’t afford to spend his limited Spiritual Power on something that wouldn’t yield short-term results. freewebnσvel.cøm
Learning new Magic, analyzing metamagic techniques, deciphering potion formulas, or mastering more Magic Tattoos and Elemental Runes—all of it required a great deal of Spiritual Power.
"Omniscience, analyze Empower Spell and Widen Spell."
[Task created. Beginning analysis of Empower Spell. Estimated cost: 3.5 energy.]
[Task created. Beginning analysis of Widen Spell. Estimated cost: 3.4 energy.]
Pei Ze raised an eyebrow.
’The cost is much lower than I expected.’
He consumed the Spiritual Power without hesitation. With a mere thought, the analysis of Empower Spell was instantly complete.
Pei Ze immediately issued a new command.
"Omniscience, analyze Extend Spell."
[Task created. Beginning analysis of Extend Spell. Estimated cost: 3.4 energy.]
Extend Spell could lengthen the duration of a Magic’s effect.
Widen Spell, on the other hand, could increase a Magic’s area of effect, such as its burst radius, linear distance, or diffusion radius.
For any competent Wizard, metamagic techniques were practically an essential skill to master.
’I should be able to finish analyzing these two metamagic techniques by tomorrow. After that, it’ll be time to learn new Magic.’
Learning new Magic wasn’t a problem for Pei Ze.
With the Eye of Omniscience, learning new Magic was an instantaneous affair.
In contrast, refining Magic and Engraving Spells were what took up a great deal of time.
For the latter in particular, the Eye of Omniscience was no help; he had to rely on himself to painstakingly engrave them one by one.
He checked his Spiritual Power. He had 1.62 energy left. Pei Ze decisively spent 1.5 energy to accelerate the analysis of Widen Spell, then took out a Resonance Potion and prepared to cultivate.
The principle behind the Resonance Potion was to align the user’s spiritual fluctuations with the external Energy Particles, creating a resonance that would in turn increase their Spiritual Power.
The moment the liquid potion entered his stomach, Pei Ze immediately felt himself sink into a trance, as if he had merged with his surroundings.
In this state, he could clearly feel the gaseous Spiritual Power inside the Spirit Crystal deep within his mind increasing, bit by bit.
Although the increase was minuscule, it had the advantage of being continuous.
An unknown amount of time passed before Pei Ze suddenly awoke, snapping out of the peculiar state.
