The Rise of the Cemetery

No special introduction was needed. Everyone in the hall couldn't help frowning when they saw the blue mage robe on the young mage who walked in with his head held high.

The owner of the store, a low-ranking mage, immediately left behind several little nobles who were talking, walked up to him quickly, and respectfully saluted as a mage.

And the few noble men and women who were shopping for items did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, they moved to a corner of the hall, making enough room for the new high-level mage, and then pretended to appreciate Among the magic items on display, they only looked at this young and handsome high-ranking mage from time to time.

As a high-level mage, this status can already become a guest of the royal family, and his status can be compared with some important ministers and grand dukes of the kingdom.

But what attracted the attention of these people more was the unprecedented youth and confidence of this mage. He looked as if he was only twenty-one or twenty years old, his head of black satin hair was extremely conspicuous, and his appearance was not particularly handsome, but the calmness and calmness in his brows and eyes gave him a unique flavor.

Although his figure has become thinner, the bossy manner in his gestures shows that he is often a superior. Against the backdrop of the sky blue mage's robe, the fair complexion looks crystal clear and lustrous, which is the manifestation state of the abundant magic power in the body.

Elena, who was on the sidelines, was considered to be quite a beautiful woman, but standing with a high-ranking mage, she still couldn't resist the colored eyes of everyone in the store. Some whispers that they thought were concealed sounded in the corner, and Elena's little ears trembled slightly to hear them clearly, and her face suddenly turned pale. Anger kept surging in her chest, Elena endured and endured, finally gritted her teeth, and simply took a step forward and directly grabbed Li Xun's arm.

Li Xun glanced at her with a teasing expression, briefly chatted with the owner, and walked towards the side of the hall under his guidance.

There are many grades of arcane balls that store mage marks like this. The cheapest one is a crystal ball as big as a fist. It needs an extra magic circle to charge and maintain it. It needs to consume a magic crystal every 15 days. Store 20 mage marks, the price is about 300 gold coins; and the higher-grade ones have been condensed into the shape of a magic ring, which can automatically restore magic, can store 30 mage marks, and the price has risen to 7000 gold coins.

Li Xun chose the most expensive one as a matter of course, and bought two at a time.

There is a soul connection between him and Siris, which is far more useful than this mage mark, so it is logical to buy more of this and give it to Elena. The female thief was bold and open just now, but when she saw such a precious magic ring, she immediately twitched, and finally accepted the gift from the mage with a blushing face.

Li Xun immediately moved the mage's imprint of His Excellency the Archmage to the ring, and then he left the magic shop and followed Elena back to the reserved hotel.

There is nothing else to do during this period, Li Xun only needs to carefully prepare for the trial match in 3 days. Regarding this matter, Li Xun did not dare to take it lightly. In the middle and low-level mage competition, because the magic attack power mastered is generally weak, it is difficult to break through the opponent's protection in a short time, so the danger is not great. You only need to judge the weakening degree of the protective cover to calculate it clearly. Out of strength.

However, high-level mages usually have mastered sixth-level spells. The variety and aggressiveness of spells have far exceeded the upper limit of protective spells such as mage shields and energy barriers. Sex is especially high.

Only when you reach the stage of the great mage, you can prolong your life through special rituals and transform your bloodline, can your thin body withstand the scour of spells and improve your spell resistance in disguise. In order to pursue the ultimate attack power, many archmages even elementalize their bodies, so that they can improve on a certain specialty and acquire special talents. This is also an ability that archmages never show in front of others. It is the trump card that needs to be kept secret the most, and it is also their trump card to defeat the enemy and save their lives.

After serious thinking, Li Xun began to reflect on his own strengths and weaknesses, and evaluated which aspects he could improve in the short term.

The "soul annihilation" possessed by Li Xun is such a similar innate ability, which can be used as a trump card to reverse the situation of the battle. But the destructiveness is too great, and it is not suitable to use it before the critical moment of life and death.

And the panorama developed by Li Xun is a kind of existence against the sky, only the realm of the legendary mage can compare with it. Li Xun has a feeling that as long as he can continue to dig deep into the mysteries of the soul and improve his magic control, within the range covered by the panorama, where his thoughts reach, even the world will be changed.

But for now, his magic control is still too weak, and he can only change the direction of magic power at a certain position in the panorama to a limited extent.

This sounds inconspicuous, but it is enough for a high-level spellcaster.

This means that a mage whose magic control is not fine enough will not be able to complete any spells that require a casting time within 120 meters of Li Xun. Because he will find that every time he condenses the spell model and mana infusion with his mental power, he will be continuously disturbed by this strange space, just like a mage who is doing dangerous magic experiments, but there is always a naughty boy around him who keeps pulling him. Like a sleeve, any improper control will lead to spell failure or backlash.

As for those skilled casters, Li Xun had to try to get closer to him, because the closer he was to Li Xun, the source of interference, the stronger the disturbance he received. If a high-level mage does not cast "Mechanized Mind" and "Concentration on Casting" for himself, many high-level spells will face the challenge of high probability of failure.

So during these 3 days, Li Xun planned to spend all his time digging and utilizing the panorama, making it a nightmare for spellcasters.

After making up his mind, Li Xun immediately went to Heslan's mage guild residence, directly recruited 20 mage apprentices in the hall on the first floor, and then rented out a spell practice room.

Li Xun's promise of 300 gold coins per day for each apprentice within 2 days was a sky-high price, so there were so many applicants, it took him a lot of selection to get enough of the 20 places.

When he led these 20 male and female mage apprentices into the magic practice room, the hearts of these apprentices suddenly lifted.

A high-ranking mage wanted to find their group of apprentices to practice spells, and the price he offered was so generous, it sounded unreliable. Shouldn't they be planning to use them for special magic experiments? Thinking of the horror, many apprentices who were too keen could not help turning pale, and quietly hid behind their companions.

Of course, these little actions couldn't be hidden from Li Xun's eyes, but they only got him a smile.

Therefore, he explained his request as gently as possible, which won everyone's relief, and the atmosphere immediately became active again.

His request was too simple. He only asked the apprentices to cast offensive spells on him in turn. It didn't have to be too frequent, but they didn't need to take too many gaps. For this reason, Li Xun also specially designated an apprentice with a little prestige as the commander, numbered everyone, and cast the 0-level or 1-level spells he mastered at any position around him in order.

The reason for taking turns is to save mana and restore mental power. Those present are all mage apprentices. With their mana, they can cast at most 6-7 level 0 tricks, or 2-3 level 1 spells. Once the mana and mental power are exhausted in one breath, at least 10 hours of deep sleep or meditation are required to recover. And everyone takes turns, and the loss is not much each time, so the recovery is also very fast, and the spells can be cast continuously.

But before the start, Li Xun also showed the majesty of a high-level mage, glanced at the audience, and solemnly warned them that everything that happened in the venue during the past three days must not be disclosed, otherwise they will have to face a series of challenges. The high-ranking man was furious.

After all the apprentices took oaths, Li Xun sat down on a chair in the center of the practice room, put a simple mage shield on himself, closed his eyes and waved: "Let's start!"

"number 1!"

Following the reminder from the head apprentice, a male apprentice whose number was No. 1 took two steps forward, first bowed briefly, and then muttered the magic spell of "acid splash".

Acid splash, a 0-level trick, can launch a missile made of acid at the opponent, causing strong acid damage.

Li Xun's level 0 trick, which came at Li Xun's beckoning, took the male apprentice 3 seconds of holding the spell and casting the spell, and then under the command of his gesture, he hit Li Xun's shield with a "here".

During the whole process, Li Xun didn't open his eyes at all, and used the panoramic view to fully sense the changes in the elements around the opponent's body when casting spells and the whole process of mana condensing into a spell model. His spiritual will is highly concentrated, lingering around the apprentices, and he tried several times to use his will as the core to drive these ever-changing streams of elements to change according to his own wishes, but all ended in failure.

Will... How is the power of will manifested? This is a big problem.

With a wave of his hand, the test continued.

"number 2!"

Another male apprentice came forward, stood behind Li Xun, bowed and saluted, and began to cast the "activating rope".

Animating rope, a 0-level trick, creates a magic rope with mana, and acts according to the instructions of the caster.

Two seconds later, a snake-like black rope suddenly appeared in the field, and quickly jumped on Li Xun's mage shield, entangled tightly.

Li Xun flicked his fingers lightly, and a magical flame appeared out of nowhere, directly burning the black rope into fly ash. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Li Xun nodded and said, "Next!"

"number 3!"
