Rise of the Dark Witch

Roja lowered his head and walked back to the room with a gloomy expression.

All he could think about now was what had just happened, especially what was written in the last letter from the Mandolin Wizard.

How did the Mandolin Wizard know there would be a plague in the Riverlands?

Now that they knew it, why did it take three months for them to go?

Weiss probably really doesn’t understand anything.

Governor Craigie probably knew what he said, but what else could he do besides saying that?

Reveal the truth directly?

Directly and loudly condemn the cruelty of the mandolin wizard?

Not to mention that the shrewd and selfish Governor Craigie wouldn't do that, even Roya, who couldn't stand this kind of thing, wouldn't be so stupid.

Return to the room quickly.

After telling everyone not to disturb him, Roja closed the door tightly.

Roja sat down at the table in the room and carefully took out a strange flower bud from his arms.

It was a flower with seven petals, and green scales on each leaf. It looked like a strange snake with an open mouth - the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower!

The Seven-leaf Scale Divine Flower is a precious medicine that can help first-class apprentices break through to the second-class apprenticeship realm, and it is first-class among all auxiliary drugs that can help break through the second-class apprenticeship realm.

With the assistance of the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower, even a first-class apprentice who has only completed twelve cycles of advanced meditation methods can break through to the second-class apprenticeship realm.

Originally, Roja needed to continue to practice advanced meditation for one year, and only after his mental power reached eighteen cycles would he try to break through to the second-class apprenticeship level.

Now that he has the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower, he can now break through to the second-class apprenticeship realm!

It can save him at least a year!

He got such a precious treasure without even seeing the Mandolin Wizard. How much benefit would he get if he could become the Mandolin Wizard's student?

"Is this an official wizard?"

"Is this the benefit of having a backer?"

"Even if they know the evil and cruelty of the Mandolin Wizard, there are still many people who want to become their teacher, right?"

"There must be a very small number of people like me who are lucky enough to know the Mandolin Wizard but are not happy at all, right?"

Risks and rewards coexist. Roja obtained the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Grass, but his body...

Under the skin of Luo Ya's body, densely packed plant roots invisible to the naked eye were attached.

"What does the Mandolin Wizard want?"

Roja, who had no idea, simply gave up.

"all will be good."

"Now that you have received an opportunity that others only dream of, take advantage of it."

"As for the danger?"

"How can there be no danger in the wizarding world?"

Roja does not want to encounter danger. He will avoid danger as much as possible, but that does not mean that he is afraid of danger. When danger comes, he will stand there with trembling feet and wait for death.

And sometimes he doesn't mind taking a little risk in order to become stronger.

Although the risk is indeed a bit high this time, considering that he was introduced by Governor Craigie, and the relationship between the Craigie family and the Mandolin Wizard, the problem should not be big.

"I hope the uneasiness in my heart is just that I'm overthinking."

After suppressing the haze in his heart, Roja focused all his attention on the seven-leaf scale flower on the table.

The drug that can make you stronger is right in front of you, why should you hesitate?

disturbed?

Danger?

Fear?

Wouldn't it be enough to become stronger?

Although he won't be strong enough to be afraid of official wizards in a short period of time, it's always good to be stronger.

"Let's practice somewhere else."

Roya, who was extremely disappointed with Governor Craigie and Weiss, these two ignorant guys, no longer trusted them.

If he is interrupted when he breaks through to the second-class apprenticeship realm and his spirit is damaged, everything will be over.

Roja quietly left Governor Craigie's mansion and quickly went to the depths of the mountains dozens of kilometers away. He used the Two Souls Evidence to investigate and made sure that there was no danger within a hundred miles before heading towards an abandoned cave. go.

Luo Ya casually destroyed the cave's exit and sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the cave.

"First-class apprentices mainly cultivate bloodline."

"After reaching the peak of the first-class apprentice, the concentration and purity of the bloodline have been increased to the extreme. The next step is to develop the bloodline and improve the quantity and quality of magic power. Real qualitative changes in strength can no longer occur."

"Second-class apprentices and third-class apprentices cultivate the spirit, and they all start from the spiritual aspect."

Roja recalled the content of the advanced meditation method about breaking through the realm of second-class apprentices.

He sat and thought for a long time, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he reached out his hand and carefully picked off a petal from the Seven-Leaf Scale God Flower.

As soon as the petals were put into his mouth, Roja felt like he was putting a red-hot iron piece into his mouth, and his tongue felt like it was about to melt.

Roja carefully felt the faint and strange medicinal power emanating from the petals. He carefully controlled the medicinal power to flow in his body and feed it towards his blood vessels.

After the bloodline swallowed the power of the medicine, the bloodline itself did not change at all, but the bloodline consciousness residing in the bloodline became as if it was drunk and became at the mercy of others.

There is blood consciousness in the blood.

Because the weakest blood in the human body comes from level one monsters, and the strongest ones even come from level seven demons, blood consciousness has very powerful mental power.

Not only is the quantity large, but the quality is also very pure.

It's just that blood consciousness does not have self-awareness and wisdom, and can only act based on instinct. Therefore, despite its extremely powerful mental power, it can still be controlled by the first-class apprentice who has just opened up a spiritual space.

The key to becoming a second-class apprentice is to refine bloodline consciousness and seize the spiritual power of bloodline consciousness!

It is essentially the same as using Soul Purifying Flame to refine Resentment Bones.

It's just that the complexity and danger are a hundred times greater than refining resentment bones!

But this doesn't bother Roja.

"Proof of Two Souls!"

After using the Witness of Two Souls, Roja's control over the body and mastery of advanced meditation methods have soared.

He followed the mudra with his hands and murmured ancient mantras in his mouth.

Luo Ya's body was ignited with a faint blue flame similar to the Soul Purifying Flame inside and outside.

The blood was burned by the blue flame, and weak spiritual power overflowed from the blood.

The blood consciousness that felt the pain wanted to resist, but unfortunately they were already "drunk" under the medicinal effect of the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower, and they could only let Luo Ya slaughter them.

Without the assistance of the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower, one must refine the bloodline consciousness while suppressing the resistance of the bloodline consciousness, and the difficulty will increase dozens of times.

Roja controlled the spiritual power overflowing from his blood to float towards the spiritual space.

Gulu gulu——

The mental space is like a gluttonous mouth, devouring mental power crazily.

Roja's growth has been stagnant for many years, and his mental power, which has been at a thousand units, is soaring rapidly visible to the naked eye.

One thousand one hundred units, one thousand two hundred units, one thousand three hundred units...

And it’s not just an increase in quantity, there’s also a qualitative change.

The spiritual power that was originally invisible and qualityless, like a gas, actually gradually atomized!

When his mental power is completely atomized, he will reach the peak of a second-class apprentice.

And when he condenses the first drop of liquefied spiritual power, he can try to hit the official wizard realm.

However, after absorbing the spiritual power from blood consciousness, an ominous shadow appeared in Roja's mental space.

As Roja continued to refine his blood consciousness and absorb spiritual power, this shadow became more solid and larger, giving Roja an increasingly powerful sense of oppression.

But Roja was not worried.

Because this is the remnant of bloodline consciousness, it is the key to gathering the blood soul to become a third-class apprentice in the future.

If it weren't for him, you'd have to worry.

With the assistance of the Two Souls Certificate, Roja can refine blood consciousness more than ten times faster than other wizard apprentices.

When half an hour passed, the certificate of the two souls cooled down, and the first petal of the seven-leaf scale divine flower lost its medicinal effect, Roja's mental power had increased by 500 units, and his quality had increased by 20%.

Without the assistance of the Dual Soul Certificate, Roja was still practicing, but at a much slower pace.

And because he did not take the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower, the resistance of blood consciousness became extremely strong. However, for Luo Ya, who had completed fifteen spiritual cycles, and whose mental power had begun to atomize and reached 1,500 units, In other words, the resistance of the bloodline consciousness is not very strong.

Three hours later, through his own hard work, Roja increased his mental power by thirty points.

The speed of increasing 30 points of mental power in three hours is already very good, much faster than that of an ordinary first-class apprentice.

However, Roja, who had experienced the surge of mental power like riding a train, felt that it was too slow!

Proof of two souls!

Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower!

After taking a two-pronged approach, Roja continued to practice.

However, the refining of blood consciousness becomes more and more difficult as time goes by, just like squeezing out toothpaste becomes more and more difficult.

The second time he used the Certificate of Two Souls to practice, Luo Ya only increased his mental power by less than 300.

But these were all within Roja's expectations.

The refining of blood consciousness will become more and more difficult, and the increased mental power will become less and less.

Generally speaking, when the mental power begins to atomize and exceeds 1,500 units, it is considered a half-step second-class apprentice.

Only those whose mental power exceeds two thousand units and whose atomized mental power exceeds fifty percent are truly second-class apprentices.

It is normal for a normal wizard apprentice to successfully enter the half-step to the second-class apprenticeship realm with the help of a seven-leaf scale divine flower and use the seven petals.

After that, he will continue to practice advanced meditation methods, increasing his mental power by at least three or four points, and at most five or six points every day. If everything goes well, he will be able to go from a half-step second-class apprentice to a real second-class apprentice in three to five months.

However, Roja is completely unreasonable!

With the help of the certificate of two souls, just one petal of the seven-leaf scale divine flower directly increased his mental power by 500 units, reaching the half-step second-class apprentice level.

Among them, the extremely important reason was that he had cultivated the Soul Purifying Flame to the extreme state where he could refine the resentment crystal with 100% purity.

After all, refining blood consciousness and refining resentment bones are essentially the same.

After using three seven-leaf scale divine flower petals, Roja's mental power successfully exceeded two thousand units, and the atomization level of his mental power exceeded 50%, successfully becoming a true second-class apprentice!

Luo Ya did not stop practicing.

He continued to refine his blood consciousness with the help of the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower.

When all seven petals of the Seven-Leaf Scale God Flower were used up, only one day had passed.

And Roja's mental power has soared from 1,000 units a day ago to 2,300 units now!

"In the future, there will be no support from the Seven-Leaf Scale Divine Flower, and the refining of blood consciousness will become more and more difficult. Even if I have the support of the Double Soul Certificate, the increase in mental power will not exceed ten points every day."

"It seems like a lot of time will be wasted if you want to reach the peak of spiritual power of a mixed-blood wizard apprentice."

After becoming a second-class apprentice, Roja did not leave. He continued to practice deep in the cave.

He wants to increase his mental power to the limit of a mixed-blood wizard apprentice in one go, which is three thousand units!

Fifty days flew by.

The blood consciousness has been completely refined, and Roja feels that his mental power has reached the limit that his mental space can accommodate.

Three thousand units of magic power!

Three thousand units of mental power!

Roja's magical power and spiritual power seem to have reached the limit of a mixed-blood wizard apprentice!

But the quantity has only reached the limit, and the quality is far from it.

Roja's mental power is indeed already 3,000 units, but the degree of atomization is only 58%. Only when the mental power is 100% atomized can he reach the peak of the second-class apprentice.

"The improvement in mental strength was a little slower than expected. The original plan was for one month, but I didn't expect it to take fifty days."

If Roja's idea was known to others, he would definitely be scolded.

You must know that the difficulty of refining blood consciousness is constantly increasing, and the later you go, the less spiritual power you can increase.

In the beginning, you may be able to increase dozens or hundreds of points of mental power a day, but later it may take days or even months to increase a little bit of mental power.

Moreover, the main thing to look at at the peak of a second-class apprentice is not the quantity of mental power, but the quality.

As long as the mental power exceeds 2,000 units and is 100% atomized, then you are at the peak of the second-class apprentice.

Many wizard apprentices who are at the peak of third-class apprenticeships do not have the mental power and magic power to reach the limit of 3,000 units.

What is the limit?

No limit is so easy to reach!

"The next thing you need to do is to continue to practice meditation, constantly improve the quality of your mental power, and let the degree of atomization of your mental power continue to increase."

"Generally speaking, when the advanced meditation method reaches thirty mental cycles, the mental power can be 100% atomized."

Looking at the already full mental space, Roja was thinking.

"My mental power has reached the limit that my mental space can accommodate. Do I want to use the Divine Seal Limit Breaking Bead to break through the limit?"

The Divine Seal Limit Breaking Bead can allow a wizard apprentice's spiritual power to exceed the upper limit of the human body. A mixed-blood wizard can exceed three thousand units, and a pure-blood wizard can exceed ten thousand units.

"Is it really a good idea to use it now?"

"The increased amount of mental power will not improve my strength much, and the increased amount of mental power may slow down the purification cycle of mental power."

"Although this is just my personal conjecture, what if it is true?"

"No messing around!"

"It won't be too late to use the Divine Seal Limit Breaking Bead after the mental power is completely atomized, or after you learn the relevant knowledge and know that it will not affect the speed of subsequent mental power cultivation."

Roja was ready to go home.

But before leaving, he planned to experiment with the growth of his strength.

A spiritual thread stretched out from between his eyebrows.

When he gathered his spiritual core and completed six spiritual cycles, his spiritual power thread could extend twenty-five meters.

Later, he continued to practice the advanced meditation method "Moon Meditation Method". After completing fifteen cycles of mental power, his mental power thread could extend to 28 meters.

Now that Roja has become a second-class apprentice and has three thousand units of mental power, the distance that the spiritual power thread can extend is——

Seventy meters!

The straight-line distance has nearly tripled, and in three-dimensional space it has doubled twenty-seven times!

"When I gathered my spiritual core, it increased five times from five meters to twenty-five meters. Now it's only three times?"

Roya was a little disappointed.

but--

"The Ultimate Realm of Mind has actually reached the fifth level?"

"Can it speed up thinking thirty-two times?"

The Ultimate Realm of Mind is originally a high-level use of mental power. As the quality, quantity and control of mental power increase, even without the need for hard training, the level of the Ultimate Realm of Mind will naturally rise accordingly.

In the past, his practice of the Ultimate Realm of Intention was like a child dancing with a sledgehammer. He had to be careful, otherwise he would hurt himself if he was not careful. He could not do it with ease like a strong man wielding a sledgehammer.

However, Roja could see that if he did not continue to study, even if his mental power continued to increase, the sixth level of the Ultimate Domain of Intention would be the limit, and it would be impossible to grow naturally later.

Although the other magic skills that Roja has mastered are not as great as the improvement in the Ultimate Realm of Intention, due to the surge in his spiritual power, his control of magic power has improved a lot compared to before, making his control of magic power more refined. , the power of the magic skills used with the same magic power increased by nearly 20%.

"Compared to first-class apprentices, second-class apprentices feel that their level of strength is not particularly great."

Roja frowned.

"Whether you become a first-class apprentice from a trialist, or you condense your blood soul and step into the third-class apprenticeship realm, your strength can reach a qualitative increase. The second-class apprentice feels like it is just a transitional stage."

"but……"

A smile appeared on Roja's lips, "I have found a way to save my life in the hands of an official wizard!"

Roya has been shrouded in the shadow of the Mandolin Wizard before, and his mind has been in a state of unease.

Just the thought of meeting the Mandolin Wizard in three months made his body shiver.

Even if he doesn't have the strength to fight against a formal wizard, even a little bit would be good.

As long as it can threaten the official wizard, can briefly compete with the official wizard, and make the official wizard feel afraid, then that's fine.

If the official wizard tried to kill him by force, he might still die.

But that mandolin wizard?

The selfish and cruel mandolin wizard whose life is about to expire?

How could you possibly risk injury and risk shortening your lifespan to fight him in order to kill him?

"It is rumored that the apprentices of the Bipolar Hunter clan can challenge the official wizards and fight against the official wizards. Don't lie to me!"
