Source of Magic Power

He turned and returned to his room, continuing to study the meditation method.

The next level of the Tree of Life Meditation Method was the Intermediate Part, an intermediate magic.

He could no longer obtain it for free. He would have to exchange contribution points or magic stones for it at the academy.

Chen Chuan rubbed the ring in his hand, lost in thought.

Elder Gu had given him this ring when he was about to leave for the assessment.

Elder Gu had told Chen Chuan that only a professional could use it, and that it would help him get off to a smoother start.

When he had first successfully changed classes, he had been absorbed in the power within him and interrupted by Lili, leaving him no time to inspect it.

Now was just the right time.

Chen Chuan steadied his breathing and gently stroked the silver ring on his hand. A wisp of spiritual power entered it.

A space approximately one cubic meter in volume instantly appeared in Chen Chuan's perception.

The first thing he saw was a neatly stacked pile of gold in a corner.

Next were blocks of various rare metals and some jade and crystals.

The most eye-catching of them was a huge purple crystal.

The crystal itself gave off a faint purple glow, and Chen Chuan could sense a powerful surge of Magic Power sealed within it.

"Could it be a Magic Power core?" Chen Chuan couldn't help murmuring.

A Magic Power core was the energy core of a powerful magical beast or elemental creature, possessing immense Magic Power and special properties.

It had many uses and was often used as a precious primary material in various industries.

"All of these are..." Chen Chuan frowned. These things were clearly not what an ordinary apprentice should possess. The ring Elder Gu had given him was probably not so simple.

"Ding... Absorbable extraordinary energy fluctuations detected. Absorb?"

Chen Chuan responded in his mind without hesitation: Absorb.

Without any warning, the purple crystal inside the ring vanished instantly.

"Ding... Absorption complete. The Seed of Life has advanced. The system has been updated. You have obtained Source of Magic Power Points."

The system notification sounded in Chen Chuan's mind. With a thought, he brought up his status panel:

Crimson System · Host [Chen Chuan]

Class: Life Wizard

Physique: 6.7 +

Agility: 6.6 +

Spirit: 22.0 +

Rank: Third-Class Apprentice

Skill: Tree of Life Meditation Method: Elementary Part Lv1. (1/100) +

Talent/Active: Light of Wisdom, Seed of Life.

Source of Magic Power: 2550

The system had been updated with a new attribute, Source of Magic Power Points.

Chen Chuan saw that plus signs had appeared after both his skills and attribute values.

Chen Chuan deliberately clicked the plus sign after the Tree of Life Meditation Method: Elementary Part skill.

The progress bar after Tree of Life instantly changed to Lv1. (2/100).

His Source of Magic Power also instantly decreased by 10 points, dropping to 2540.

Chen Chuan instantly understood that this Source of Magic Power could be used at a ratio of 1:10

to directly and forcibly increase his skill points. As for his attribute values, Chen Chuan also tried clicking the plus sign after Spirit.

His spiritual power rose to 22.1, while his Source of Magic Power fell by 100 points to 2440.

Chen Chuan's eyes lit up.

According to the information he had looked up in the library, one of the basic requirements for advancing to Third-Class Apprentice was 20 points of spiritual power, followed by gaining a basic grasp of an elementary meditation method.

But the basic requirement for advancing to Second-Class Apprentice was a minimum Spirit attribute of 40 points, while First-Class Apprentice required at least 80.

Advancement to Formal Wizard required a terrifying 150 points.

The growth of spiritual power generally depended heavily on talent. The greater one's talent, the more spiritual power one gained in the same amount of time while slowly cultivating through a meditation method.

Of course, there were other methods of improvement, such as potions. Those not only required rare materials, but also the help of a sufficiently high-level potionmaker to prepare them, and the effort and cost involved were enormous.

So for most students, improving their spiritual power meant slowly building it up through meditation, like water wearing away stone.

Chen Chuan's gaze fell on the Source of Magic Power value on his status panel, and he made a decision.

He once again swept his spiritual power over the other items in the ring,

and found that three more crystals and an ore produced prompts saying they could be absorbed, so he absorbed them without hesitation.

The three crystals each provided close to 200 Source of Magic Power on average, while the ore provided 500.

His Source of Magic Power rose to 3540.

Then Chen Chuan began madly increasing his Tree of Life Meditation Method skill points in one go.

Tree of Life Meditation Method: Elementary Part Lv1. (2/100) → Tree of Life Meditation Method: Elementary Part Lv2. (2/100)

Spirit +4.

Source of Magic Power: 3540 → 2540

The instant he spent 1,000 Source of Magic Power, the Elementary Part of the meditation method broke straight through to Lv2.

His spiritual power increased by 4 points, and thanks to the vitality solidification effect, his physique and agility also rose by 1 point each.

Chen Chuan felt the noticeable increase in spiritual power within him, and his body was also more full of strength.

Chen Chuan checked the changes to his attributes.

Physique: 7.7 +

Agility: 7.6 +

Spirit: 26.1 +

Skill: Tree of Life Meditation Method: Elementary Part Lv2. (2/200)

Source of Magic Power: 2540

He tried circulating the Tree of Life Meditation Method. Cultivating with the Lv2 meditation method was more efficient.

Chen Chuan closed his eyes and felt the Magic Power surging through him. His Magic Power had also increased considerably, since its upper limit was determined by spiritual power.

His consciousness sank into a meditative state, and time seemed to slow down.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Chuan opened his eyes and noticed a green glow flickering in his pupils.

With a thought, he checked his status panel and found that the progress of the Tree of Life Meditation Method had quietly risen to Lv2. (3/200).

"Just three hours to gain 1 point of meditation method experience and 0.01 spiritual power. This speed..." Chen Chuan was astonished.

At this rate, if he set aside class time each day and meditated for three to six hours, he could gain 1–2 points of meditation method progress.

At the fastest, he could break through to Lv3 in just over three months, whereas before it would probably have taken almost a year or more.

His leveling speed had increased roughly threefold.

His spiritual power improved much more slowly. If he relied solely on meditation, it would take two or three years at least.

Alas, it's too difficult. I wonder if the academy has any potions or magic items that increase spiritual power.

He stood up and walked to the moss-covered area in the center of the living room.

This time, he didn't deliberately activate his Life Magnetic Field, yet the surrounding plants still grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A seedling that had originally been only an inch or so tall rapidly grew to half a foot under his gaze, its leaves unfurling and radiating abundant vitality.

"The effect of the Life Magnetic Field seems to have grown stronger." Chen Chuan thoughtfully reached out and lightly touched a blade of grass with his fingertip. The grass immediately began to glow faintly, and the surrounding air began to ripple.
