Chapter 215: Late Stage, First Circle
The Six Rings Tower has intercepted the entrances and exits of the Dream Market, but it has not shown much malice towards those entering or leaving the market.
Perhaps it is to maintain their image, or perhaps they feel that doing so is meaningless.
In any case,
the journey back was very smooth.
“I’ve checked.”
‘Gai’ circled the four major families’ residences, and then returned, cautiously saying:
“The four first-order wizard towers are all intact, and there are also the materials needed for the second-order towers. It won’t be difficult to disassemble them and build a second-order wizard tower.”
“It can even lay the foundation for building a third-order wizard tower in the future.”
Although he is a talent capable of building second-order wizard towers, his own cultivation is not high, only at the initial stage of the first circle.
He inevitably feels fear towards the powerful figure who easily killed several wizards of the family and forced the clan leader to submit.
The figure sitting cross-legged on the high platform was not the person who brought them here, but Karl’s original body, who was focused on cultivation.
He lowered his head slightly, looking at the other party:
“It’s good that you can build it.”
After thinking for a moment, he added:
“Can it be built into a floating wizard tower?”
Karl does not intend to guard the Dream Market for the rest of his life, and a wizard tower that cannot move is of little use to him.
“This…”
‘Gai’ hesitated for a moment:
“If you want to build a floating wizard tower, many functions will have to be discarded, and its power will also be weakened.”
“The time… will also be longer.”
“It’s okay.” Karl smiled:
“Just build a floating wizard tower. You don’t have to worry about other aspects. Just tell me if you need manpower.”
“No need.” ‘Gai’ shook his head:
“It’s enough if I have Paul to help me.”
“Oh!” Karl raised an eyebrow, looking at the young man with a wooden expression behind him, his eyes flashing with suspicion:
“Is he okay?”
There was nothing to be done.
This young man named ‘Paul’ did not react at all when several of the family’s elders died in front of him. He was even more absent-minded along the way, making it hard not to suspect his intelligence.
“Paul is very smart.” ‘Gai’ shrugged:
“Most people with special talents have some personality issues. His problem is just a bit bigger.”
“Hmm…”
“The incomplete book he came into contact with when he was young also had an impact.”
Many wizard books can affect intelligence, confuse the mind, or even cause death with just a glance.
Many wizard families have idiots,
this is common knowledge.
“Second Grandpa.”
Paul’s face showed displeasure:
“The book I read was about space-time theory. Although it was mysterious, it won’t affect my mind.”
“Yes!” ‘Gai’ was speechless:
“But you were so obsessed with it that you almost died several times, and you haven’t researched anything yet.”
“You don’t understand.” Paul, as a wizard apprentice, rolled his eyes, looking down on his Second Grandpa:
“Spatial magic requires too much, only third-circle wizards can cast it. I just haven’t had the opportunity to come into contact with it.”
“As for time, that is the authority of gods and high-level wizards, not to mention.”
“Heh…” ‘Gai’ was speechless.
Third-circle?
How many are there in the entire Magic Forest?
High-level wizards?
Such beings would not stay in a small place like the Magic Forest.
So, in his and his clan’s eyes, the knowledge that Paul was studying was useless and had no value.
“Spatial magic?” Karl became interested, drawing a complex rune in the air in front of him:
“Then, do you recognize this thing?”
“Eh!” Paul’s eyes lit up:
“A rune for connecting to the void, it seems to also involve teleportation abilities. Does Senior have a powerful spatial magic item?”
“You actually recognize it?” Karl’s face showed surprise.
This rune came from the Twelve Zodiac Palaces.
The Twelve Zodiac Palaces is a fourth-order inherited magic item. Unfortunately, since it has been in his hands, he has not been able to truly control it.
He doesn’t know where to start!
A perfectly good fourth-order treasure was being used by him as a first-order barrier. It was simply a waste.
The Twelve Zodiac Palaces contained dozens of spatial fragments, each supported by a treasure.
Among them,
there were no lack of third-order materials and rare exotic beasts.
If he could truly master it, not to mention the abilities of the Twelve Zodiac Palaces itself, the resources within would be enough to support him in cultivating to the third order.
“Haha…”
With this thought, Karl couldn’t help but laugh heartily:
“Paul, you don’t have to follow your Second Grandpa anymore. I have some things that I need your help to decipher.”
“Don’t worry, I will never mistreat you!”
“I don’t want money.” Paul shook his head:
“Knowledge!”
“I need knowledge.”
“Good!” Karl nodded:
“The thirst for knowledge is a necessary requirement for every successful wizard. I will try my best to provide it to you.”
“Hmm…”
***
“We can exchange knowledge with each other.”

Half a year later.
Name: Karl
Constitution: 22.7
Mental Power: 14.9
Source Essence: 4
Level: Second-Order Holy Knight, First-Circle Wizard
Abyssal Bloodline Fusion Rate: 53%
Karl, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the status panel, and shook his head slightly.
“Half a year of cultivation, my constitution only increased by 0.1. Although it is partly due to the fact that practicing magic has diverted my energy, the progress is still too slow.”
“Fortunately…”
“My mental power has progressed rapidly.”
With the continuous consumption of the Spirit Amber Drops, his mental power has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past half year.
Now it has reached the limit of the middle stage of the first circle.
“If I want to break through the middle stage of the first circle and reach the late stage of the first circle, simply taking potions won’t be of much use.”
“A powerful stimulus is needed to make mental power surge in a short period of time and break through the current realm. Therefore, most wizards in the middle stage of the first circle will go out to seek opportunities for breakthroughs after their mental power reaches its limit.”
“Luckily!”
He looked at the Source Essence column on the status panel:
“Whether it’s the middle or late stage, they are both within the scope of the first order. I can directly add points to forcibly cross it.”
“Therefore…”
“Add points!”
Four points of Source Essence flickered slightly and disappeared instantly, and Karl’s mental sea expanded accordingly.
Mental Power: 15.9
“Boom!”
It was as if a muffled thunder exploded in the mental sea. The originally ethereal mental power seemed to have taken on a tangible form at this moment.
Like flowing water!
Like a breeze!
With a thought, the spell models in the mental sea flickered slightly, and the spells were already in a state of being ready to be activated at any time.
The various elemental particles floating in the surrounding void were now clearly discernible.
Karl opened his eyes, reaching out and gently scooping in the void in front of him, and a ball of flowing water appeared in his palm.
He did not cast a spell.
He simply used his powerful mental power to draw the water molecules from the air, and directly ‘pinched’ out a stream of water.
“Compared to the middle stage of the first circle, the late stage of the first circle is simply worlds apart. No wonder a wizard family without a wizard in the late stage of the first circle can’t even be called a ‘family’. Once they have one, their status can be greatly improved.”
“Hmm…”
“Even if I am a second-order Holy Knight, if I hadn’t cultivated the top-tier holy technique, Holy Demon Transformation, and the Thousand Buddha Hands, and if my Thousand Buddha Hands hadn’t reached the Hundred Hand Realm, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be a match for a wizard in the late stage of the first circle.”
Truly feeling the power of a wizard in the late stage of the first circle, Karl couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.
“The power of a first-circle spell when I activate it now is at least several times stronger than when a wizard in the initial stage of the first circle casts it.”
“However…”
“The reason why wizards in the late stage of the first circle are powerful is not only because of their mental power, but also because they can cultivate certain powerful spells.”
Some spells, although they are also first-order, have higher requirements for mental power, and only wizards in the late stage of the first circle can cultivate them.
Karl has many such spells in his memory.
“The four major families of the Dream Market all have second-order inheritances. The ancestors of the Pero family were even from the Six Rings Tower.”
Water Dragon Barrier!
This is a spell that combines offense and defense.
Once cast, it can create a barrier with amazing defensive power, and within the barrier is a water dragon with powerful attack power.
Great Flame Fire Rain!
An advanced spell of Chain Fireball.
It can summon countless flames to fall from the sky, covering an area like a torrential rain, killing the enemies within the area.
If this spell were cast on a mortal city, it would be able to destroy it with a single strike.
Life Extraction!
A nature school life-type spell.
It can directly extract the life force from a target from a distance, and can even repair one’s own injuries by devouring the other party’s life force.
***
However, compared to the advanced first-circle spells in the memories of the four major families and others, the strongest one actually came from a rogue cultivator.
Nightmare Galois!
He obtained a nightmare-type inheritance of up to the third order from an unknown source, which included no lack of top-tier spells.
Some could even be advanced.
Such as:
Nightmare Illusion!
Six Star Soul Curse Killing Technique!
“Six Star Soul Curse Killing Technique, imprison and refine six souls, and use the power of the souls to kill opponents.”
“The stronger the power of the souls, the greater the power of the spell.”
“This technique, once mastered, can be cast instantly and hardly consumes one’s own mental power, but one must face the danger of a backlash from the souls.”
“No wonder Galois didn’t cultivate it.”
“It’s this one!”
Karl’s eyes narrowed, making a decision.
“The Death Specters of the Collapsed Divine Domain should be suitable as materials for the Six Star Soul Curse Killing Technique, and it’s also time to collect Soul Cores.”
