Arcane Lord

It feels like a dream, and it is a dream!

From the initial awakening to the onset of mist, maybe it was just a moment. Xia Duo broke through the mist and woke up again. At this time, he was already in a dream.

Just like the previous bloodline awakenings, when he first realized his existence, he was just a drop of water in the mountain stream. As the stream continued to flow, his body continued to grow.

Until he passed through mountains, jungles, canyons, and plains, Xia Duo felt that everything in his body was growing, nurturing the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to thrive.

Eventually it merged into the East China Sea, and then as the water vapor on the water surface rose, his consciousness and form began to rise from the water to the sky!

His breath turned into the storm, and his tremors turned into thunder. He felt that he had become the master of the weather. Storm and thunder were always by his side, raising clouds and making rain with every thought.

After the thunder and rain, Xia Duo's consciousness filled the space between heaven and earth. Some of it fell with the raindrops and merged into the rivers. Some of it turned into strong winds and small winds, blowing across the land of China.

After that, everything goes back to the beginning of the dream, starting from a drop of water, and the cycle repeats.

…

Even though he had experienced this kind of dream where he was the source of his bloodline many times before, Xia Duo still felt very strange when he experienced it again.

With each additional cycle, he will have a new understanding, or the order of the growth of all things, or the laws of geography and hydrology.

After so many times, there is still no end in sight. Perhaps this is the gap between man and nature.

In the dream, I don’t know how long it has passed, and I don’t know how many times it has been repeated. Just when Xia Duo seemed to be forgetting himself, the dream suddenly became hazy.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo woke up!

…

"call--"

Xia Duo breathed a long sigh of relief. It felt good to have his consciousness return to his original body. Then he subconsciously touched his body, "Fortunately it's not wet!"

While feeling relieved, Xia Duo also began to check the gains of this bloodline awakening. This was the first time that he consciously knew that the bloodline might be awakened, and he didn't know if it would bring any additional gains.

Of course, having said that, bloodline awakening is like a lottery. Even if you know the prize in advance, who can guarantee the specific harvest!

What Xia Duo is looking forward to most is the ability of thunder. From the dream when he woke up, he knew that he could control thunder and control the wind and rain.

But whether you can draw it or not depends on your luck.

Xia Duo relaxed his body and carefully felt the power of blood instinct deep in his body. There was wind, water, and some characteristics derived from wind and water, but there was no thunder!

"Pity!"

After that, Xia Duo checked the induction of blood and magic network, and found that it could affect the seventh layer of the magic network. Some of the strings of the magic network would respond automatically according to his bloodline ability.

This is the advantage and limitation of bloodline ability.

This awakening brought Sha Duo's bloodline ability to the 7th level, which is consistent with the level of active spellcasting. If it can affect the eighth level of the magic network, then Sha Duo can barely be called a senior arcanist.

After checking his bloodline ability, Xia Duo opened his eyes. The cloud vision given by his new soul form once again allowed him to see those mysterious existences that were like light and mist, and seemed to be alive and dead.

Maybe it's the power of faith, maybe it's something else.

It was still the same as what he saw yesterday, the fluffy clouds were misty and wrapped around the body. Although the blood had awakened, the clouds did not seem to be consumed.

Or is it a reaction to some real-time state?

Xia Duo guessed at random without any psychological burden. After that, he collected distracting thoughts, concentrated, and entered a state of extreme concentration.

In an instant, he felt his soul again. It was similar to what he saw yesterday. The soul was still like the original body, emitting a thin glow, reflecting a small space around the soul.

But compared to yesterday, he didn't feel any strange pain in his soul today.

This discovery made Xia Duo feel very happy. At the same time, the stone that had been hanging in his heart all night finally fell to the ground.

Afterwards, with further observation and perception, he discovered that there seemed to be some kind of mysterious sound faintly existing in this small space around the soul.

But when he wanted to hear clearly, he was surprised to find that there was nothing.

This situation is somewhat similar to the cloud. When the soul state has not changed, the cloud cannot be looked directly at at first. Once actively observed, the cloud will disappear without a trace.

Only by accident can you find some traces.

But now, this mysterious sound in the space reflected by the soul's glow seems to also have the characteristics of clouds.

If you listen carefully, you can't hear it. If you listen casually, you can hear it.

Perhaps only when the soul or something else goes a step further, can the mysterious sound in this soul space be heard on a regular basis!

For a time, Xia Duo became more and more looking forward to the next bloodline awakening!

With Seven Towers helping to promote it, maybe this day will come soon!

…

Continuing to observe and perceive for a while, Xia Duo could not maintain the state of extreme concentration and quickly exited the state of soul perception.

When his consciousness returned to the outside world, he felt a deep fatigue coming from deep inside his heart, which was unstoppable. It was a bit like over-casting a spell and being exhausted.

However, Xia Duo has already experienced it. This kind of mental fatigue caused in a short period of time is different from excessive spell casting, which must be relieved by sleeping.

This kind of fatigue can be relieved in other ways, such as Bonu tea, some special elven incense, and spices special to the Belera family territory.

Of course, no matter which one, it is not as complete as sleeping and recovery.

Xia Duo had just woken up from a deep sleep. He really didn't want to sleep again, which would make him feel awkward, so he decisively took out the hollow mithril tea can, took three Bonu original leaves, and started making tea.

“There are less than thirty pieces left, and I don’t know if I can hold on to the next batch!”

After sighing casually that life was not easy, Sha Duo took out the spell book that Archmage Greta had exchanged with him yesterday - "Greta's Psychic Protection".

While you wait for your tea to brew, use this book to distract yourself so you don't accidentally fall asleep.

…

The opening chapter of "Gretta's Psychic Protection" introduces the working principles of psychic spells. Seeing this, Shado couldn't help but feel refreshed.

This is something he has never come into contact with in [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire]!

Although he learned a mental spell called Judgment Spell in the projection plane, it was only a spell, and the spell itself had many restrictions and could only be used by members of the Trial Court.

Moreover, there is very little research information on the underlying principles of psychic magic, at least Xia Duo has not discovered it.

The principles of psychic magic he understood were only based on his research on the only set of trial spells.

At this time, Sha Duo was really happy to see Archmage Greta, a native mage from the main plane, introducing the principles of psychic magic.
