Anti-magic field!

This sixth-ring arcane spell is also the priest's eighth-ring divine spell.

As a result, the mage group did not use it much, and it was more used by various professions to target mages.

If the warrior profession wants to be able to fight with the mage, on the one hand, it must solve the problem of mobility.

The wizards of the third and fourth rings have the blessing of flying, random door, and dimensional jump in terms of mobility.

Even rich people like Zhao Xu have the blessing of "quick burst".

The warrior profession doesn't have any instant teleportation method, so don't even think about getting close to them easily.

In the low-level stage, everyone believes more that distance is the greatest defense.

When reaching the sixth level, even the most humble mage can begin to learn the core triggering techniques.

A mage of this level can be beaten to death by a warrior at close range, which is basically out of his mind.

In other words, a mage who has exhausted all his spell slots and still wants to fight will not survive that level.

The "Anti-Magic Field" with a radius of only three meters is a must-kill skill for warriors and mid-level mage professions.

It's just that more warriors lack the means to instantly cast an "anti-magic field".

As Zhao Xu knew, the "Advanced Spell Storage Ring" worth 90,000 gold coins can store a total of 10 spells, and the wearer can release the spells stored in it.

It's just that you have to find the caster and store the spell again afterwards, which is very cumbersome.

Therefore, even if Zhao Xu becomes a legendary mage, he will be taboo on such highly targeted spells as "Anti-Magic Field" and "Mage Disintegration Technique".

In the future, he will also build his own defense project against these spells, so that he can automatically avoid automatic counterattacks.

Relying on yourself to fight first is the most unreliable performance in itself.

A real mage should be able to automatically respond to the spell combination that he has paired with him when the target spell appears.

Zhao Xu's various response methods, including the "Star Cloak" on his body and even the ability to obtain "reflective dodge" with spells in the future, are all based on spells.

An "anti-magic field" can break through his heavy defenses.

Moreover, he cannot cast spells in the anti-magic field. Even if he has great abilities, he still has to get out of the three-meter radius.

The "iron heart power" that appears now can free him from this "anti-magic field" state, and even a series of other corresponding negative states that affect spellcasting.

It is the ability to forcibly remove negative status at one time.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The prerequisites for advanced professions have blocked countless people.

Even if Zhao Xu can simulate expertise, he still has to be limited by prerequisites.

At that time, he was able to use "potential points" to simulate "slashing". This was only achieved after he used the second-level spell "Heroic Spirit Possession" to obtain the additional warrior specialty "Powerful Attack".

The specialty of "Martial Arts Learning" allows a layman like him to perform a selected move in a short time.

Expertise itself is no secret.

What is really valuable is that this expertise is followed by the top secret "Iron Heart Power" move of the "Eastern Earth Empire" Nine Swords.

That's what Zhao Xu dreams of.

It's just that Zhao Xu felt a headache when he looked at the prerequisites for this specialty.

"The more powerful it is, the more complicated the prerequisites are needed." Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu's face and chuckled.

Obviously she is also aware of the prerequisite of "the power of the iron heart".

"Teacher, do you also have this ability?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Of course." Antinoya chuckled, "As your mentor, it's not like you know it and I don't."

Zhao Xu immediately thought about what was wrong, "Are the contents of these truth fragments consistent?"

However, Antinoya shook his head, "Not necessarily. Some of them are not expertise, but other resources. Are you wondering where I got the method of learning the 'Power of Iron Heart'?"

"I also played a part in the founding of the Eastern Earth Empire. Naturally, I know their system well, but I swore at the time not to leak their heritage to anyone."

"Otherwise, do you think I was really suppressed by the anti-magic field just now?"

Looking at Zhao Xu's stunned look, Antinoya continued, "After I activate the power of the iron heart, my potential points are automatically restored. At that time, I can also directly restore my spell slots, not to mention I have a series of means. .”

"Lux, look at it." Zhao Xu complained inwardly.

"Hey, you didn't do anything." Lux knew at this moment that she had persuaded Zhao Xu to rush forward to take care of the loss, so she quickly shrank down and remained silent.

The Dongtu Nine Swords System is actually named after its nine major martial arts schools: Iron Heart, Stone Dragon, White Crow, Desert Wind, Steel Soul, Mu Ri, Qianxin, Tiger Claw, and Shadow Hand. The moves and postures are also divided into nine levels. .

Then under the Nine Swords system, there are three basic martial arts professions: Sword of Military Dao (War Blade), Sword of Heavenly Punishment (Crusader), and Sword of Sage (Sword Daoist). Each of them masters several schools and moves. There are different ways of posture.

"Iron Heart Power" is exactly the "Iron Heart Style" move, and its rank is not high, it's only level three.

But the prerequisite for learning to use it is to master an additional "Iron Heart Style" move.

So if Zhao Xu wanted to use this move directly, he would have to use the "Martial Arts Learning" feat to master another Iron Heart style move.

In this case, he would have to use two specialties to successfully use the "Power of Iron Heart" once.

Zhao Xu is going to fight in the "Demiplane of Death" next, which only provides him with a guaranteed "Iron Will" expertise.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Antinoya, "Teacher, how did you achieve it?"

"I have a part-time job as a martial artist." Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Sure enough, it was not for no reason that Antinoya had just climbed into the cabin of the mysterious golem easily. The other party had really been trained by a martial artist.

But Zhao Xu immediately noticed something was wrong.

Arthur is not a casual part-time worker, and there will be no penalty for advancing his career.

However, if the difference between basic occupations and part-time jobs is more than 1 level, they will be punished and make upgrading more difficult. It is estimated that each additional occupation will slow down by about 20%.

For example, if a level 5 warrior moonlights as a level 1 priest, he will suffer this penalty, unless the opponent is a level 1 warrior moonlighting as a level 1 priest or a level 2 priest.

However, humans are born with racial talents and can be exempted from the part-time penalty of a profession.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's level 1 priest doubles as a level 4 dossier scholar because the human race ignores his level 4 dossier.

And Antinoya is probably the same. The opponent must have a level 1 priest, and she can take part-time jobs in other martial arts professions. As long as they are only level 1 or 2 and are not much different from the priest, she will not be punished.

However, if it were that simple, mages would already have part-time jobs.

The level of part-time job does not improve the spellcasting ability.

Therefore, Zhao Xu is now a level 5 character. Because he works part-time as a level 1 priest, the file scholar is one level too late to learn spells.

"Teacher, shouldn't a mage have a part-time job?" Zhao Xu asked.

If he wasn't a double elite, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to work part-time as a level 1 priest.

"Well, yes, because it will affect the progress of obtaining high-level spells. The main reason is that I only started working part-time after reaching the legendary level. I can pass the nine levels on both sides of Sinnoh, so it will naturally not affect it." An Tinoya said.

"He is indeed a legendary mage who bullies others." Lux then interjected and complained.

However, Zhao Xu did not say anything, but thought about the gains and losses.

Everything is a trade-off. Antinoya waited until after the legend to obtain the power of the iron heart. By then, her caster level had already increased very little, and she would gain greater benefits than before working part-time as a martial artist.

But Zhao Xu couldn't delay it for so long.

Compared to Antinoya, he needs to face the problem of early part-time jobs earlier.

Because in the route designed for him in the future, "Red Jade Guard" is the advanced profession of Nine Swords, which itself requires Zhao Xude to master a "Qianxin" style move and a "Qianxin style" posture.

Kenshin-ryu is a unique sect of the "Tenchu no Sword". If he doesn't work as a level 1 Tenchu, it won't be so easy to advance to the "Red Jade Guard", which will also destroy the balance of the world.

The "Iron Heart Style" where "Iron Heart Power" is located is also a unique school of "Saber Sword". He has to work part-time as a Level 1 Military Sword to learn the pre-moves, so that he can use the "Martial Arts Learning" expertise to master Level 3. The move "Iron Heart Power".

Zhao Xu had a headache thinking about it for a moment, so he glanced directly at the third specialty "Arcane Mastery".

At a glance, this specialty is indeed mediocre to Zhao Xu.

When a mage casts a spell, he needs to overcome the unique "spell resistance" of some creatures.

Just like Zhao Xu fought against the "Deep Hell Demon" before, he had to weaken the opponent's magic resistance before he could successfully throw the "Hammer of Justice" at the opponent.

The magic resistance penetration test itself depends on Zhao Xu's caster level, plus the "performance evaluation" of his spell casting, which is also a performance level of 1-20. If the result exceeds the magic resistance, then the spell can It takes effect, otherwise it will be blocked directly.

"Arcane Mastery" allows Zhao Xu to stabilize this performance to the "Level 10" level.

From now on, before he throws his spell, he knows whether it can penetrate the opponent smoothly, instead of just looking at the performance this time or betting on luck.

And mages do prefer this kind of certainty.

After Zhao Xuri, you don’t necessarily have to spend expertise to master it. When he needs to use it temporarily, he can just use "potential points" to simulate it.

Unlike the power of iron heart, if he wanted to use potential points to simulate it, he would have to face the dilemma of not having temporary potential points under the "anti-magic field".

That is to say, he had to choose between "simulated supernatural power", which can be used immediately, and "iron heart power", which can only be used after a long time.

"Teacher, is there an option for me to want them all?" Zhao Xu asked casually.

"Yes." Antinoya replied casually at this time.
