Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 76 Breakthroughs (4.7k)

  Tap tap~

  The hooves of the horses stepped on the hard ground and made a crisp sound, and the pure black horses pulled the same black carriages and drove towards the city.

   Behind it is the endless sea. Through the gap between the giant ships on the dock, at the junction of blue and blue in the distance, a trace of orange-red light is sinking, and the light Xia next to it is still floating on the sea level, carrying out the final silent burning.

  The night is coming.

  Kakaka~

  The sound of the collision of mechanical gears came from the dock, and the gray-black boarding ladder was like a bird folded its wings and folded back to the side of the ship.

   Inside the carriage, Colin let out a faint sigh.

   He didn't care about the embarrassment that he finally left the store because he had no money. After all, having no money was nothing to be ashamed of, and the clerk had a gentle attitude from beginning to end.

   But the knowledge of advanced formal wizards is clearly in front of him, but it is as far away as the sky... It really makes him a little unwilling.

  'I'm not in a hurry, after all, I'm not even a senior wizard apprentice. ' He could only comfort himself silently.

   Soon after, returning to his home on Palm Street, after dinner, Colin began to practice as usual.

  He came to the basement and took the lead in practicing sunlight breathing.

  The knight level has reached [Great Knight (99/100)], just a little bit to break through to the ultimate great knight!

   Maintaining a regular breathing rhythm, Colin meticulously performed his movements according to the second-time limit-breaking sunlight breathing method, which is now completely unrecognizable compared to the original.

   Muscle lines that do not show mountains and dew on weekdays, under the stimulation of sunlight breathing method, are now rhythmic like waves of knotted tree roots!

   It didn't take long before sweat dripped from the upper body, first on the forehead, then on the tip of the nose, neck, back... The black cotton short sleeves were soaked all of a sudden.

   I don’t know how long it took, and how many times I practiced.

   At a certain moment, Colin suddenly felt that a certain layer of "blockage" was suddenly opened!

   is not as powerful as when breaking through the great knight, this body transformation, in an instant, after a feeling like an electric shock, has been completed!

   As if the screen freezes, his movements suddenly stop.

  Under the action of inertia, a drop of crystal sweat on the tip of the nose was quickly thrown forward and thrown into the air.

The    world was pressed slow down, and he felt his breathing slow down.

   And that drop of sweat flew slowly in the air like a snail, and the trajectory was clearly visible.

  Colin subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the crystal drop of sweat, and at the moment when this thought appeared, his body responded instantly as if there was no delay!

  Shoo! !

   That sweat drop was really caught by him, and fell into the palm of his hand, leaving a wet trace of water stains!

   Colin looked shocked.

  Under normal circumstances, even if he is a big knight, it stands to reason that he cannot catch this drop of sweat. This is not only related to his own speed, but also to the speed of his reaction!

   Sweat drops parabolically in the air. Under the action of gravity, at a height of less than two meters, it only takes a fraction of a second, that is, hundreds of milliseconds, to fall to the ground.

For an untrained normal person, his reaction speed is usually in the range of 200 to 300 milliseconds; some talented people, after training, can improve this data to between 100 and 200 milliseconds .

   But that's about it!

   As a great knight, his original reaction speed is also between one hundred and two hundred milliseconds, which is the limitation of the human body.

  A complete movement process, firstly, the visual, auditory and tactile sensations, etc., receive stimuli and transmit them to the brain, and then the brain transmits the signals to the muscles through the nervous system, and the muscles then respond.

   The time required for this process is the reaction time in general cognition!

   It consists of two main parts, which are the transmission of stimulation to the brain, and the transmission of signals from the brain to the muscles.

   But in any case, the transmission of these signals relies on the nervous system, and the speed of the response is basically determined by the speed of the nervous system transmitting signals!

   And the nervous system...it's hard to change.

   This also means that by the time a normal person reacts, the water droplet has dropped by half, and it is difficult to catch it at this time!

  Although when the Sunlight Breathing method broke through the second limit, he already knew that under the influence of the golden paper, the knight system was opened up in a new way, and a realm he had never heard of appeared.

   also knows that after advancing to this state, his reaction speed will be greatly improved.

   But he didn't expect the effect to be so immediate!

  ‘Maybe with the golden paper, I can walk a few steps forward at the end of the knight’s path…’

   Colin sighed in his heart, strode forward, adapting to his new body.

  …

   After a while, the moon hung on the branches.

  Colin got used to the realm after the breakthrough, so he left the basement and returned to the master bedroom.

   took a quick shower. He didn't take a bath this time, so he hurried to the meditation room.

   It's getting late, but today's daily meditation hasn't been done!

   And while remodeling Demi in the morning, he accidentally discovered that complex exercises can increase the speed of propulsion.

   But he has only tested witchcraft and transformation, and he has not tested whether meditation is the same, which makes him a little eager to start meditating!

   Came to the meditation room, lit the incense of tranquility, Colin sat down cross-legged, and entered a state of meditation with ease.

   But this time, unlike the past, he did not meditate according to the most conventional path, but instead took a few fancy detours.

   Originally, after the circle meditation method broke the limit, he only needed to meditate for six hours a day, but because this time it was deliberately complicated, the efficiency was greatly reduced.

   So he didn't slowly open his eyes until dawn broke and the morning glow dissipated.

   looked at the pocket watch in his hand. Twelve hours have passed!

   The time consumed is not the point, the key lies in the improvement of the progress of the Limit Breaking Circle Meditation!

   He exhaled the golden paper.

   The pale golden particles converged, and a piece of golden paper between the illusory and the real appeared in front of him.

  Colin can't wait to find the Apprenticeship Circle Meditation I column!

   In the next second, an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face.

   The progress behind the Limit Breaking Circle Meditation has reached 84/100!

   And before that, if he remembered correctly, the progress should only be 81/100! A full increase of 3 points!

   Can you increase 3 points in one meditation? !

   Colin exhaled slightly and shook his head.

   The real improvement progress should be more than 2 points. After all, the previous progress will not be exactly 81, but more than 81.

   But no matter what, at this rate, it will only take another six to eight days before he can take the Ring Meditation to its limits again!

   got up, Colin thought carefully while moving his muscles and bones.

   Before that, I meditated for six hours a day, and the speed of one time of breaking the limit circle meditation was about two o'clock in three days, and one in two days.

   Now that meditation has become more complicated, the time of meditation has also been extended to twelve hours, and the speed of the progress of the meditation method has suddenly reached 3:00 a day, which is 3 to 5 times higher than before.

   Although it is not comparable to the dozens of times difference between the blood pattern transformation technique with rabbits and people.

   But such an improvement is still quite exaggerated!

   He felt as if he had touched the deep rules behind the golden paper.

   "Wherever you practice, there will be progress." He rubbed the smooth surface of the metal pocket watch in his hand and pondered to himself.

   To cast witchcraft, the complete process is to mobilize magic power to cast witchcraft.

   Meditation is essentially the use of the spirit to draw magic into the body, until the limit that can be accommodated for the day.

  In general perception—

   Casting sorcery: No matter how complicated the process is, no matter how magic power is mobilized, as long as it is full strength, the magic power consumed in the end is the same and will not change. The resulting results will not be substantially different.

   And meditation: The same is true, no matter how complicated the process is, no matter how to mobilize the spirit to draw magic into the body, but in the end, the limit that can be accommodated on that day will not change. This limit is only related to the meditation method and its own aptitude.

   is like walking, no matter how complicated the process is, it just goes from A to B.

   But now it seems that the golden paper is not just a way of judging the level of practice from A to B, as is commonly known, but a more refined measure of the entire process...

  'In that case...' Colin put away his pocket watch and smiled lightly.

   Not only does this mean that he has found a more efficient way to practice... but also the biggest constraints that limit his practice are solved!

   This conditioning is mainly meditative.

   In the past, his limit of meditation was only six hours a day.

   But now, by complicating meditation and reducing efficiency, he can extend it to twelve hours or more!

   Generally speaking, ordinary wizards don't do this unless they're crazy.

   After all, although the time for meditation is prolonged, it is brought about by sacrificing efficiency, and the magic power that is finally improved will not change, but consumes unnecessary energy.

   For Colin, this method, although the speed of increasing the wizard's rank will not change, but the speed of the ring meditation method will be greatly enhanced.

   And the progress of the circle meditation method is improved, even breaking the limit, which will in turn increase the growth rate of his wizard-level progress!

   Therefore, unlike other wizards, this behavior is just a waste of energy. For him, this seemingly wasteful way is a shortcut!

   After realizing this, Colin decisively began to retreat.

   Anyway, he can't afford the advanced formal wizard knowledge he wants, and he has nothing else to buy.

  So, don’t go to the ship market!

  …

   In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

   Today is the sixth day of the arrival of the Black Pearl Caravan, and at dawn the day after tomorrow, they will set sail again.

   In fact, as early as four days ago, the Black Pearl Caravan had replenished some of the supplies needed for ocean voyages from the island and was ready to leave.

  Palm Street, the highest wealthy area.

   It was just dawn on the horizon.

   In the master bedroom of a two-storey villa that is dominated by gray and white, Colin opened his eyes in the meditation room. As soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't wait to exhale the golden paper.

   Pale golden particles converge.

   On the translucent gold paper—

   Apprenticeship Ring Meditation I slowly emerges behind a dim ↑ symbol!

   This means that the limit can be broken again!

  Colin stood up contentedly, moving his muscles and bones, an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.

   Over the past four days, he has tried to complicate the meditation process of the ring meditation method as much as possible to reduce the efficiency as much as possible, in order to prolong the meditation time.

   At first, he meditated for 12 hours, but he could even meditate for 16 to 18 hours later, and if he had other things to do, he could even extend the time.

   And this extension also accelerated the progress of the circle meditation method again. In just five days, one day earlier than the shortest six days he expected, he successfully raised the circle meditation method to the limit.

The    money bag had already been placed on the low table beside him. Colin exhaled softly and began to transform the breaking point.

On the    gold paper, the characters after breaking the limit start to jump.

   In an instant, it reached one hundred.

   At the same time, the originally dim ↑ symbol behind the circle meditation method also instantly appeared a circle of purple light.

Suck--

   Concentrating his thoughts, Colin took a breath, no longer hesitated, and headed towards the ↑ symbol.

   is accompanied by an influx of countless knowledge.

The purple ↑ symbol behind the    circle meditation method suddenly trembled, and then shattered, like a drop of ink into water, spreading toward the characters next to it.

   The original light blue [Apprenticeship Ring Meditation I (100/100)] was suddenly dyed into a charming purple, and the content gradually became blurred.

   is finally fixed as——【Apprenticeship Ring Meditation II (0/100)】!

   Seeing this dazzling and charming purple, Colin couldn't help but feel refreshed, and the exhaustion accumulated over the long-term meditation for many days seemed to subside a lot.

   But it was just an illusion after all, he left the master bedroom and ate breakfast and fell asleep.

   But it didn't take long for Renee to wake him up.

   "You mean that a guard came to tell me to go to the inspection office now, saying that it was called by Captain Flower?"

  Colin lifted the quilt to get up, but he didn't look sleepy. After all, he was not physically tired, but mentally a little tired from long and boring meditation.

   After a short rest, he has recovered.

   "Yes, Master." Renee brought him a witch robe, and added: "The guard said that they called all the wizards to inspect the place."

  Colin nodded, put on his witch robe and went downstairs.

   At Renee's order, Arthur, the groom, had prepared the carriage and was waiting for him in the yard.

   But at this moment, the courtyard door was knocked again.

   Renee went to open the door, and it was Luke.

   "Good morning, Colin." Luke greeted, looking at Colin who was ready to go, "It seems that you have also been notified by the guards."

   "Good morning, Luke." Colin responded with a puzzled expression, "You're here..."

   "I'm here to find you to go to the inspection office with us." Luke explained voluntarily.

   "After becoming a senior wizard apprentice, Mrs. Regana has been appointed by the school as the vice-captain of the inspection office, and has become our immediate boss.

   The reason why Mr. Flower called all the members this time is probably to announce that Mr. Regana will become the vice-captain. "

   Colin nodded, his expression still a little puzzled.

  Luke smiled again and said frankly: "To tell you the truth, I came to you specially to ask for something."

   "Because of some things, we had some gaps with the group of Lord Regana, and you had a good relationship with Lord Regana, so I wanted to ask you for a favor."

  Colin remained calm, but frowned inwardly.

  ‘This matter… is not easy to handle. ’

   "Don't worry, you're not taking any risks," Luke added.

   "After Master Regana advanced, she didn't care about us at all, but her former companions secretly relied on her prestige to be aggressive, and on the other hand prevented us from asking to see Master Regana."

   Having said this, Luke sighed.

   He originally thought that these apprentices of the patrol team on the mountain would not stay at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and Black Rock City was still their territory.

   He thought that after Regana advanced, she would no longer serve as the inspector, but returned to the wizard to concentrate on her practice.

   After all, this is how the school is. Talented apprentices only need to focus on cultivation, while apprentices like them who don’t have much talent need to take on all kinds of chores.

   But he didn't think that after Regana advanced, she would still stay in the inspection office, and she was even appointed as the deputy captain!

   "Of course, we won't let you do it in vain." He stared at Colin and said, "One hundred magic stones! We just need you to help us pass a word to Lord Regana."

   After saying that, he looked at Colin silently.

   For a time, there was only the sound of the breeze blowing in the yard, and the snoring of the dark horse next to him.

   After thinking for a long time,

   "Sorry, Luke..."

  Colin rejected Luke anyway.

Although   100 magic stones was tempting, it was just an embarrassing number for him.

  These hundred magic stones, in the long run, can't compare to the profit he earned from making bright crystals in a month.

In the short term, these 100 magic stones are not very useful to him, neither can he let the mid-level strong life break the limit, nor can he buy the knowledge of advanced formal wizards worth at least 350 magic stones. .

   What's more, he didn't owe Luke anything.

   He had paid the corresponding reward for the blood pattern transformation before.

  Although he and Luke are acquaintances, their friendship is indeed not enough to allow him to take this risk.

Moreover, the information he has learned so far is Luke's own words. In fact, he doesn't know what Regana thinks, and why Luke and others conflicted with Regana and others... …

  Luke sighed when he saw that he didn't answer, but didn't say anything more, instead he squeezed a smile to reassure Colin that he didn't have to feel sorry.

   Then, the two of them got into their respective carriages and rushed towards the inspection office.

   Thank you for the 1000 starting point reward of JingjingBeng! Thanks to my friends for calling me Dumb, Flying Pig 918, and Xiao An Miao for the 100 starting point coins!
