Kaleshi, Jianhua University.
"… As expected, I knew it was a whirlpool. Damn it, why am I not as lucky as you? I worked hard every day and night to condense my silver wings!"
"Tsk, no, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. The more I look at you, the more jealous I get. What I hate most in my life is people like you who are lucky, talented, and have great potential. Get out of here now."
"Go back and practice your sword skills. If I find out that you are becoming complacent and lazy because of your achievements, you will be burned to ashes by my jealousy..."
Sonia was kicked out of the professor's laboratory. She stuck out her tongue and walked back happily. Although Professor Trozan said such harsh words, he did not reduce the reward at all. He directly took out two sword spirits from his collection and gave them to her, and also shared two sword miracles!
The two one-winged magic spirits are "Scabbard" and "Sharpening the Sword". Sonia has seen the former in the hands of senior sister Celia. When the blade is kept in the scabbard for more than 15 seconds, it can be triggered to enhance the power of the next attack;
The latter is a magic spirit that enhances the sword blade. It is triggered when the sword blade is sharpened with a whetstone, making the sword edge sharper, more resilient, and less likely to break.
The two swordsmanship miracles are "The Light of the Scabbard" and "Ten Years of Sword Sharpening", both of which are miracles derived from the scabbard and sword sharpening as the main magic spirits. Sonia has to buy auxiliary magic spirits herself to activate these two miracles.
For example, "Sharpening the Sword for Ten Years" requires the use of the time-related magic spirits 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours', 'days', 'months', and 'years'.
Although they are time-related magic spirits, they are not expensive, and can even be considered cheap. They can be bought at any time on the magic spirit trading platform.
Because in the time continent of the second layer of the virtual realm, this series of time magic spirits are almost everywhere, and the two-winged magician can harvest a lot of these time magic spirits every time he enters the virtual realm.
Although it is a resource that only two-winged magicians are qualified to pick, the price will naturally go down as the quantity increases. Otherwise, Professor Trozan would not have taught Sonia this miracle - the sword master knew the family background of his talented apprentice.
However, because she sold off a lot of magic spirits in the virtual realm, Sonia is actually quite wealthy. She has recently been thinking about purchasing some magic spirits to improve her tactical system. Now Professor Trozan has helped her solve her worries in advance.
And from these two miracles, it can be seen that Professor Trozan has established Sonia's current goal: to improve her realm, to become familiar with magic, and to master miracles.
This is understandable. It only took eight days to condense the Silver Wings from scratch. Sonia's swordsmanship level could not keep up with the speed at which her power increased.
The chasm that now stands in front of Sonia is the realm of magic. As long as she does not raise her swordsmanship to the gold level, she will not be able to summon a two-winged magic spirit. Naturally, she will not be able to enter the second level of the virtual realm, step into the time continent, and condense the golden wings.
There is no room for shortcomings in the promotion of a magician. Both the magic power and the realm must meet the standards at the same time. Only then will the virtual realm open up a wider world for the magician.
Therefore, even if Sonia fully unfolds her silver wings, if she wants to advance to the second wing, she will need at least a year to solidify her swordsmanship.
In a sense, Sonia's ability to condense her magical power so quickly actually poses a huge risk, because from now on she will descend into the core area of the Sea of Knowledge. If she is unlucky, she may even encounter mature knowledge creatures - that is definitely not something a one-winged magician can contend with.
This is why Trozan is so strict with her. If Sonia slacks off and becomes lazy, there is a high possibility that she will die continuously in the virtual realm. At that time, not only will her soul be damaged, but she will also lose important magical spirits, and it may even cause her magical realm to stagnate.
'Going with the flow' is a taboo for magicians. Countless magicians, after encountering a fortuitous encounter, thought they were blessed by fate and their confidence swelled, but were soon severely punished by the virtual realm, and eventually became mediocre among the crowd, with achievements not as good as those of the diligent magicians who climbed up step by step with their feet on the ground.
The virtual world is not a place of charity. The more benefits you get from the virtual world, the more pressure it will put on you. All the luck given by the virtual world is marked with the misfortune that needs to be paid.
Unless Sonia has a burst of luck and encounters a golden fish like she did when she encountered the whirlpool, and can directly sneak into the Time Continent, then she can ignore the realm gap and directly advance to the second wing.
But not to mention Professor Trozan, even Sonia hadn't thought of this possibility - because even the viewers couldn't find the golden fish.
Sonia's excited expression gradually faded as she thought of the viewers.
She sighed secretly and prepared to go back to the dormitory - the school was still under martial law today, all classes were suspended, and all students were not allowed to approach the white tower.
However, just after leaving the research building, she saw a familiar silver luxury car parked in the driveway. She turned around and wanted to go around it, but the car window rolled down, revealing Felix's handsome face.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back."
There was no need to respond to the statement. Sonia didn't want to talk to anyone right now. Felix drove slowly to catch up with Sonia and asked, "Did you encounter a vortex?"
"yes."
Now almost everyone in the school knows that Sonia, a country girl, encountered a whirlpool just a few days after entering the Sea of Knowledge. If Sonia had displayed some rare magical spirit, some people might have said something like "Are you being kept?", but there is only one shortcut to increase silver magic power, and even the most foul-mouthed person would have nothing to say.
It's impossible that someone is using Whirlpool to support Sonia!
As for the nonsense like "she's just lucky", once it appears in the "Sword Flower Exchange Area" behind the curtain, it will only cause students to laugh at it and ban it - the rise of all legendary magicians is inseparable from the favor of luck, and magicians with bad luck would have been bullied by the virtual world and could only cry.
Relying on luck to attack a magician is the most shameful behavior, as rogue and boring as "If he can't breathe, I can definitely defeat him."
Therefore, there was no need for Sonia to deny it, not to mention that she couldn't deny it now.
Felix was silent for a long time. When Sonia was about to enter the dormitory area, he suddenly asked, "After you crossed the whirlpool, did you encounter a seriously injured fish-slaying dragon and get the sword of killing intent from it?"
Sonia was slightly startled. No matter what she was thinking at the moment, the ceremony had already determined what she would say: "Yes."
Felix was a little surprised. In fact, he didn't expect such an answer. If Sonia really encountered this, she would definitely understand the subtext of Felix's words.
Given Sonia's personality and abilities, she would certainly be able to deny it flawlessly and not let Felix see any clues.
Felix tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and asked, "How much do I have to pay to buy back the Killing Sword from you?"
Although Sonia wanted to say "not for sale" in a tough manner, her mouth said obediently: "Let me get a noble title."
Felix was slightly startled: "Didn't I tell you before that as long as you marry me-"
"I do not like you."
That was a fake marriage for the exchange of benefits. What does it have to do with love? … Felix almost wanted to ask this question, but when he saw Sonya's serious look, he swallowed the words back and sighed: "If you don't want to take this path, then I don't have any other conditions to impress you... Wait a minute."
Sonia decisively retreated to the dormitory area, wondering if Felix wanted to rob a commoner's spirit in broad daylight
Felix took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it, then flew it directly to Sonia: "I'll burn it after reading it. Is this worth a favor from you?"
Sonia took it and looked at it, and found that it was a miracle spell called "Activation of Killing Intent", and the main spell spirit was the Killing Intent Sword.
Unlike the 'Evil Light Slash' which simply enhances power, the 'Killing Intent Activation' is a very complete compound miracle. Its effect is to enable the sorcerer to convert the killing intent into his own gain effect, comprehensively enhancing various indicators such as strength, explosive power, reaction speed, and physical recovery. Moreover, the strengthening effect increases with the increase in the concentration of killing intent.
This is a miracle that is quite practical both in the virtual world and in reality, because the murderous intent does not only refer to the enemy's murderous intent, but the murderous intent generated by the magician himself is also taken into account.
In the Silver Realm, the "Killing Intent Activation" can increase the magician's power by up to 150%. Even if Sonia's treasury was completely empty, she couldn't afford such a practical miracle.
Obviously, this is a matching miracle that Felix obtained together with the Sword of Killing.
"Will this technique make you owe me a favor?"
"Yes, but it's only a favor equivalent to about one silver coin. If you ask for more than one silver coin, I will refuse your request with a guilty conscience."
"You have calculated it very clearly." Felix smiled and said, "I will use this silver coin favor in the most appropriate place."
"But you're just giving it to me like this?" Sonia asked in surprise, "You don't want to sign a confidentiality agreement? No other requirements?"
"No need for that. Use the sword of killing intent well and don't waste it."
After saying that, Felix drove away. Sonia was a little confused, thinking, is this what a rich man is like? He can perform a miracle just by raising his hand
But it is understandable. As the 'Killing Sword' of the 'Secret Sword Twenty-one Spirits', it is too difficult for Felix to obtain it again. Therefore, the supporting miracle of Killing Activation is almost meaningless to him. It is better to give it to Sonia as a favor.
What's more, Felix seemed to be planning to switch to poison magic, water magic, and wind magic. Swordsmanship has become his disguise, and Professor Trozan is just a temporary umbrella he found. He has no competitive relationship with Sonia now.
Having said that, Sonia still had to sigh at the courage of the foolish young master of the noble family. If it were her, she would never be willing to give miracles for free, at least the other party would pay some money to appease her stingy heart.
However, activating the killing intent requires two auxiliary spirits, which are expensive and may not be available, making the situation even worse for Sonia, who is already poor.
As if all the hard work had paid off, Sonia actually obtained two magic spirits and three miracles in one day. It took her a lot of time just to master these "new equipment".
If it were Sonia half a month ago, she would never have imagined that one day she would be troubled by too many magic spirits and miracles.
However, what bothered Sonia the most at this moment was not magic spirits and miracles.
She originally wanted to go back to the dormitory to relax and watch Deda Rose's new movie or drama. But after hesitating for a moment, she chose to go to the training hall to practice magic.
... ...
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Sonia arrived at the meditation building on time.
Although the school is still under martial law, areas outside the white tower have basically resumed operations, such as the cafeteria and training hall. Only classes have been cancelled and students are required to study on their own throughout the day - many students hope that such days can continue.
While searching for the door to truth, Sonia suddenly felt a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.
'I was still forced to practice swordsmanship for two hours at night... Apparently the power of the viewer is still working...'
"Besides, even if a person who has lost his memory and has been revived dies, he can definitely be resurrected again..."
'If something happens to him, that would be great, as I can be free. Anyway, I have already condensed the silver wings, so I don't need him to explore the virtual world for the time being. He is useless...'
'But he probably escaped from prison last night and fell asleep accidentally, so he didn't come to the virtual world. It's not easy for him to get into trouble. Speaking of which, if I show off my new magic spirit and miracle, will he be surprised? '
In her wild thoughts, Sonia found the door to truth, sank into consciousness, and entered the realm of emptiness.
The soul passed through layers of dark fog, and consciousness gathered and took shape in the virtual world. Sonia slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a familiar boat and a familiar weirdo.
His voice was still so frivolous and unreliable: "Good evening, Sword Princess."
Sonia suddenly forgot the lines she had prepared to complain and scold.
It was as if a huge stone had fallen off her heart. She breathed a sigh of relief, pressed her hand lightly on her chest, and smiled with relief: "I'm glad you're okay."
Ash was slightly startled by this sudden concern, but before he could say anything, a golden light emerged from the peak on Sonia's chest and transformed into a dazzling one-winged spirit.
It looks like an almost transparent butterfly with only one wing, but when it flies it reflects colorful light, as gorgeous and dreamy as bubbles.
Even though they hadn't made contact, Ash and Sonia already knew the name of this sorcerer the moment they saw it.
"sincerity".
