Elemental affinity not only brought Ron an increase in strength, but also had a great effect on studying magic.
Ron tried it. The mental energy consumption reduced by elemental affinity can be superimposed with the effect of the elf wand. This is a huge compensation for the large loss of mental energy when delving into third-level magic.
"Elements can be manipulated..."
While trying, Ron suddenly thought that since he could control the element of water, he might be able to explore the basic runes of the water system and master water magic without extracting it from the professional system.
Exploring the basic runes of the water system is much more difficult than exploring the derived runes. After all, there is no reference at all. Before, he could only try randomly like a headless fly. But now that he has elemental affinity, it is I can find a little bit of direction.
But Ron thought about it carefully and shook his head slightly.
Exploring the basic runes of the water system is probably more difficult than exploring the third-level magic or the second-level magic of the guardian system. It is not suitable to spend time exploring the water system runes now.
In addition to elemental affinity, the transformation brought about by 100 points of mental attributes is also huge, which increases Ron's thinking speed by nearly three times. The coverage of the mental perspective in God Mode becomes larger and more It is meticulous, and the self-recovery of mental power lost under normal conditions is also greatly improved.
The first-order magic that could be released almost continuously with very low loss has indeed become a low-level magic that can be released infinitely for Ron now, and even the second-order magic has less loss than before.
Taking into account the natural recovery of mental power, the amount of second-level magic that can be released in a battle can be increased by nearly half compared to before.
The cost of releasing magic is reduced, the mental recovery under normal conditions is increased, and the speed of thinking is increased... These have undoubtedly cut off more than half of the thorns on Ron's path to explore third-level magic!
"The next step is to go all out and delve into third-level magic."
Ron took a deep breath, his eyes flickering, showing a bit of anticipation.
…
Regarding third-level magic, Ron's exploration direction has always been the wind system.
On the one hand, the wind system was the first magic he acquired, and he understood it the most deeply. Secondly, the wind system was very adaptable, unlike the earth system, which was limited, and unlike the fire system, it was easy to lose control.
After another transformation of his mental power, Ron's exploration of third-order magic was greatly accelerated as he expected, far exceeding the speed of his previous exploration.
In addition, he has gradually conducted in-depth research on the nature of runes. For the combination of runes of third-level magic, he no longer uses the ultimate method to try as before, but has a little direction.
For example, the two derived runes representing 'decomposition' and 'aggregation' have completely opposite characteristics and cannot be combined together. They must be separated by other runes.
Ron found four such detailed features.
These four characteristics also allowed Ron to rule out many possibilities.
Third-level magic requires nine runes to be combined. If all the possibilities are arranged, the number is too huge and there is no basis for characteristics. It is almost impossible to deduce them all using the ultimate method.
The ultimate method that Ron used before was also based on one of the earliest discovered characteristics, which was third-level magic...it must be based on second-level magic.
Just like second-level magic, there must be basic runes.
For third-level magic, not only the basic runes must exist, but the three runes that make up the core must be three runes that can form a second-level magic. Otherwise, it will collapse directly from the core and extend outward. Neither exists.
This characteristic was the first one that Ron deduced and confirmed, and it is also the most important characteristic. It is the basis for studying third-order magic, because this characteristic directly reduces the incalculable possibility of third-order magic to only a few to one hundred thousand species.
This number seems huge, but for Ron, it is barely possible to try them all using the ultimate method.
The discovery of the remaining three characteristics further reduced the remaining tens of thousands of possibilities to less than 50,000.
There should be more than one third-level magic, so the remaining 50,000 possibilities can theoretically further reduce the failure rate. If you are lucky, you may be able to discover a third-level magic by just trying a few.
one day…
Two days…
Three days…
Ron kept trying alone behind the Navy Headquarters on the empty coast. He even only rested for four hours a day. Apart from eating and drinking, he had a full nineteen hours to explore, as if he had entered the sea. into a state of cultivating madness.
Under Ron's violent deductions and attempts, the possibility of combining third-order magic was tried one after another and eliminated one after another.
On the fifth day.
Ron determined the rules represented by the sixth derivative rune.
On the seventh day.
Ron identified a fifth characteristic, narrowing the scope of exploration even further.
…
Day eight…
ninth day…
tenth day…
He didn't know how many attempts had been made, but Ron knew that after these ten days of exploration, including the discovery of the fifth characteristic, the remaining scope of exploration should be less than 20,000.
It still seems to be a huge number, but for Ron today, it is not that huge, because at his current speed, he can try nearly a thousand times a day.
Moreover, there must be more than one third-level magic, and it is possible to find the right combination at any time.
"Basic runes, combined with decomposition, amplification, chaos, aggregation..."
On the coast, Ron held the elf wand in his hand and looked at the sea with flickering eyes. With a thought, golden light spots emerged in the elf bead, and then quickly extended countless lines to form nine runes, intertwined together.
boom!
As soon as it was formed, the entire golden rune collapsed and exploded with a cannonball-like impact, falling towards the sea and splashing the sea with waves.
Ron looked calm, regained some mental strength, and started trying again.
Every failure is a step closer to success for him.
"Basic runes, combined with decomposition, amplification, order, aggregation..."
Another calm attempt, more than tens of thousands of failures in ten days, made Ron feel as calm as water every time he tried, with almost no fluctuations.
The nine runes came together again.
However, this time, as soon as the large magic circle formed by nine runes was formed, Ron noticed something completely different from before, and his calm, water-like eyes suddenly fluctuated.
“…”
Without any hesitation, Ron flicked the wand in his hand.
In an instant.
The wind is howling!
On the sea surface about tens of meters away, the green wind visible to the naked eye was spinning crazily, converging towards the center like a whirlpool, forming a huge attraction, causing the seawater in all directions to set off huge waves, spinning like a storm, surging towards the center. past.
Even Ron himself, even dozens of meters away, could still feel the huge attraction at the center, pulling him towards the center of the storm.
With a slight shock in his heart, Ron released his mental strength without hesitation, resisted the attraction and flew back.
Almost as soon as he exited dozens of meters.
The sea water and storm formed into whirlpools due to the huge gravitational force suddenly solidified, frozen in the sky as if time had stood still.
Immediately afterwards.
boom!
The cyan light bloomed instantly, and the seawater that was attracted to the center suddenly exploded, and water droplets splashed in all directions like bullets.
Under Ron's somewhat shocked gaze, he saw that the sea surface with a radius of nearly 100 meters suddenly sank, setting off huge waves!
at the same time.
There was also a system prompt in his ear.
[Hint: You have mastered the third-level wind magic, whirlpool storm]
[Tip: You achieve the achievement 'Magic Master' and get 3 achievement points]
