Building a Spell Model! Levi's First Spell!

"The Holy Insect Control Method".

That's definitely not simple.

This is a genuine wizarding book.

This is Levi's feeling after studying this secret method these past few days.

The author of this Manual is unknown, but there is no doubt that the author was the master of the Insect School within the Wizard School that Tutan mentioned.

The contents of this Manual are profound and complex, even more difficult for Levi to comprehend than the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram.

Many of the terms used are completely incomprehensible to anyone who is not a senior researcher in the field of Insect School.

In Levi's view, this was clearly a professional book intended for professional Insect School.

It's not something a half-baked Wizard Apprentice like myself can comprehend in a short time.

"I've struck gold!"

Levi was overjoyed.

Although Levi has not yet fully grasped the other aspects.

However, there are no problems with the Holy Armor Scorpion.

After all, if the Scorpion Family can understand it, then I certainly can too.

According to the classification of all alien insects in the multiverse of the "Holy Insect Control Method," all alien insects in the world can be divided into three categories.

Advanced alien insects often come from certain multidimensional planes and are extremely powerful. Even wizards dare not provoke them easily. If there are too many of these alien insects, they will be the most terrifying insect plague in the world, and even wizards will have to stay away.

Medium-sized Zerg are also relatively rare, and many are hybrids of those from multiple dimensions and the Zerg of this world.

The lower-level alien insects are themselves some ancient insect creatures of this world, such as the Holy Armor Scorpion.

These are some of the more well-known poisonous insects.

The Holy Armor Scorpion is one of the most venomous creatures in the world.

The Human-Faced Spider's Tears that Levi refined required the venom of the Holy Armor Scorpion.

But what makes the Holy Armor Scorpion most formidable is its incredibly hard shell, impervious to blades and spears, capable of tearing apart Black Qi and even devouring souls.

If this venomous insect devours a soul, there is a small chance that it will evolve its own life level. If it goes through continuous selection, elimination, and iteration...

It is possible for them to evolve from lower-level alien insects into intermediate-level alien insects, or even higher-level alien insects.

Of course, this requires a long cultivation process.

Generally speaking, no wizard would do something so thankless and exhausting.

Because a single Holy Armor Scorpion has limited strength.

Holy Armor Scorpion must be in large numbers to create considerable power.

However, if one were to cultivate a large group of evolved Holy Armor Scorpion, the time, energy, resources, and financial resources required would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Insect School wizards prefer to directly seek out and cultivate those advanced alien insects.

"It doesn't matter, I have patience anyway."

After seeing it, Levi felt that the Holy Insect Control Method was no ordinary thing.

It suits me very well.

If one day I were to use the Proficiency Panel to cultivate thousands upon thousands of evolved Holy Armor Scorpion, then with a wave of my hand, an army of venomous scorpions would swarm across the sky and devour everything.

If you want to play a swarm strategy, you have to play Zerg.

This is a real-life natural disaster.

"Good."

Levi was comprehending the Holy Insect Control Method.

The bag used to hold the Holy Armor Scorpion is called the "Insect House".

Insect House can be considered a kind of witchcraft artifact in some respects.

Moreover, it can be considered a spatial artifact similar to the "Gluttony Pouch".

However, the Gluttony Pouch is a creation of the Death School.

The Insect House, on the other hand, is a creation of the Insect School.

This kind of magical artifact has only one function.

The little pets of the Insect School wizards.

Those are the insects.

Of course, the Insect House is a bit more advanced than the Gluttony Pouch.

Because besides storing insects, Insect House can also be used to store other things, as long as you're not worried about your things being eaten by the insects.

"Interesting. It's like I have two Storage Tool now. In any case, the Insect House is more reliable than the Gluttony Pouch. I can put my important things in the Insect House, as long as I make sure the poisonous insects I put in won't devour the things in the bag." Levi was delighted.

There are now more than a hundred Holy Armor Scorpion inside the Insect House.

The incantation to open the Insect House is required, which Levi has already memorized.

Levi placed his most important possessions, such as his hammer and a large amount of gold, inside the Insect House.

The Holy Armor Scorpion eats flesh and souls, not metals, so there's no need to worry about being eaten.

At the same time, Levi took out one of the Holy Armor Scorpion from the Insect House and placed it in his palm.

He used Black Qi to grab the Holy Armor Scorpion, Holy Armor Scorpion struggled incessantly in his hand.

And it used its sharp mouthparts to gnaw at Levi's Black Qi defense.

"Wow, amazing! What are those mouths made of? Even a knife can't cut through my Black Scale, but these mouthparts can bite through them. Although they can only bite off a tiny bit, if there were many of them, it would be absolutely terrifying." Levi curiously examined the poisonous insects.

He planned to try out the method of controlling the Sacred Holy Armor Scorpion from the "Holy Insect Control Method".

There are two ways to control the Holy Armor Scorpion.

The first method, the Blood Control Method, simply put, involves continuously feeding the Holy Armor Scorpion with one's own blood once a day. The advantage of this method is that it is relatively quick to take effect, but the disadvantage is that it is harmful to the body. Moreover, as the number of Holy Armor Scorpion increases, it is obviously impossible to feed Holy Armor Scorpion. In any case, Levi would not do this, as it would definitely harm his body in the long run, and the losses would not outweigh the gains.

The Scorpion Family uses this simplest method to control the Holy Armor Scorpion.

Levi planned to use the second method, the Spirit Control Method.

As the name suggests, it is a method of controlling Scarab Beetle using one's own mental power.

This is the most authentic way to control it, since wizards cultivate spiritual power, and spiritual power is the most suitable way to control it.

However, controlling the Holy Armor Scorpion with mental power also requires the use of corresponding spells.

The authentic Insect School's spell for controlling the Holy Armor Scorpion is called "Holy Armor Beetle Touch".

This is a proper First-Circle Spell, and clearly, Levi has no way of casting it.

Although this Holy Insect Control Method seems to contain a "Spell Model" for this First-Circle Spell.

However, for Levi, who had no background in magic, that stuff was as incomprehensible as a liberal arts student trying to understand calculus.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing.

Using a Zero-Circle Cantrip to barely control it.

Levi believes that combining it with his own Wild Heart is feasible.

If all else fails, use the traditional Blood Control Method.

This Zero-Circle Cantrip is called "Insect Control Art".

It sounds like Insect Control Art a very sophisticated art, but in reality, the earliest inventor of this trick was a Wizard Apprentice couldn't make it in the Wizarding World. After returning to the Mortal World, he somehow came up with the idea of using poisonous insects as Circus acrobatic skill.

Magic trick, magic trick.

Generally speaking, their power is not very good.

Therefore, the effect of this Insect Control Art is much worse than that of a proper first -First-Circle Spell.

However, the Insect Control Art is very simple to learn and easy to get started with.

Over time, it became an essential trick for some Insect School Wizard Apprentice.

Levi gazed at the Spell Model of the Insect Control Art.

These simple Spell Model are basically depicted on a two-dimensional plane because the structure is simple and can be displayed on a two-dimensional plane.

According to Tutan, complex high-level spells and Spell Model are displayed in a three-dimensional form inside Crystal Ball.

That way, the full complexity of the Spell Model can be revealed.

Therefore, according to some bards, wizards always carry a Crystal Ball and idly stare at Crystal Ball.

In reality, this is a wizard trying to comprehend Spell Model.

However, the Insect Control Art is not a complicated spell; it is the simplest kind of magic trick, only slightly more sophisticated than the charlatan's acrobatic performance.

Regardless, this is a challenge for Levi.

Prior to this, Levi had never learned any magic, nor had he received systematic instruction from a teacher.

Therefore, he had absolutely no idea whether he could successfully construct the Spell Model for Insect Control Art.

In the following period, Levi even stopped practicing Breathing Technique, and his daily work consisted only of practicing Meditation Technique and comprehending the Spell Model of Insect Control Art.

At least I had a mentor, Professor Tutan.

Although Tutan himself was not very skilled, he had been Wizard Apprentice during his lifetime and had mastered some magic tricks. He also had considerable experience in constructing the Spell Model of magic tricks.

With Tutan's explanation, Levi gained a basic understanding of the construction of Spell Model.

The so-called Spell Model is similar to setting up a program and writing code.

Levi needs to constantly observe the Spell Model, and then use his mental power to construct the Spell Model in his mind.

This First Order is called "Model Architecture".

This is the foundation for learning spells; only by mastering the Spell Model can one perform subsequent spellcasting.

The process of building this Model Architecture onto weapons or props is the key step in the wizards' crafting of magical artifacts: "Solidification".

Of course, the prerequisite for solidification is that the Spell Model has been mastered in advance.

Furthermore, not all Spell Model can be fixed onto items; only some can.

Insect Control Art is a technique that can be solidified. If Levi mastered the Spell Model of Insect Control Art, he could solidify the spell onto some special materials. For example, he could forge an "Insect Flute Insect Flute," which could be considered a witchcraft artifact.

At that time, you will only need to operate the Insect Flute to control the Holy Armor Scorpion.

However, spell solidification is a skill possessed only by Formal Wizard.

Even if Wizard Apprentice masters magic tricks, he cannot solidify them onto a wizarding artifact.

The Spell Model of the Insect Control Art has only three main structures.

It looks like a triangle.

However, this is not a simple triangle; it actually contains many important Spell Node.

All these Spell Node must be constructed in the mind without missing a single one, ultimately forming a stable "triangle" Spell Model, only then can the first step of constructing the Spell Model be considered complete.

The more advanced the spell, the more complex its model.

From triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons to the final complex polygons, hexagrams, and octagrams, the higher the level of the spell, the more complex the model's construction, and the more nodes are involved.

Even for this simplest Insect Control Art, Levi realized that he needed to construct dozens of Spell Node.

Tutan said that complex magic tricks have nearly a hundred nodes.

This reminded Levi of the little figure in the Breathing Technique Inheritance Diagram; it seems that the two are similar in this respect.

Formal spells have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of nodes. The higher the level, the more nodes there are, and the more complex they become.

Levi could foresee that just constructing a model of a complex spell would require wizards to spend years, or even decades, building it.

This is like building a skyscraper in your mind; the more complex the spell, the higher the building, and the greater the difficulty.

Of course, Levi doesn't need to worry about this too much right now.

All he needs to do is set up these dozens of nodes and honestly build the Insect Control Art model, and that will be a major breakthrough.

Levi spent a month contemplating this.

For the entire month, Levi didn't even practice Breathing Technique.

He practiced Meditation Technique day and night, and then studied the Spell Model of Insect Control Art.

After a month of working day and night, Levi had only completed half of the node setup.

The difficulty of learning magic gave Levi a real rude awakening.

He didn't know if this was because he was a beginner, or if it would continue to be this way.

If things continue at this pace, it will definitely be very difficult for me to become Formal Wizard.

It wasn't until he asked Tutan that Levi was completely reassured by Tutan's answer.

"If a wizard can build his first Spell Model in a month, even if it is the simplest trick, then he is an absolute genius in the field of Spell Model construction."

The initial setup will definitely be slower, as it's a process of creating something from scratch. It will get much better afterward. Of course, some complex Spell Model will still take a lot of time, so wizards will always have something to do.

This reassured Levi; his construction speed was not slow.

Considering that he didn't have Formal Wizard as his Mentor, he considered himself a minor wizarding genius.

So what if he's the Child of Chaos? His understanding of Spell Model is still quite good.

During this time, Anderson Knight came to the castle to see Levi again.

However, Levi had been in seclusion, so he told his subordinates not to see anyone who came looking for him.

Anderson Knight didn't disturb him and continued to wait for Levi in Flower City.

As Blood Clan with a long lifespan, he has plenty of patience.

He increasingly felt that the owner of Black Serpent Stronghold was no ordinary person.

So he really wanted to meet this young man.

Black Serpent Stronghold.

Levi devoted himself entirely to the work of building the Spell Model.

In the second month, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his node building speed seemed to have improved.

From initially building one node every day and a half, we can now build one node almost every day.

"Practice makes perfect, that's the truth."

Levi was overjoyed and struck while the iron was hot.

Meditation, building, meditation, building... and so on.

Finally, at the end of the month of the Month of the North Wind in the year 1015 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

In Levi's mind, a precise and profound Spell Model, like a star, lit up Levi mind.

If we compare Levi's mind to a star map, then this Spell Model is like a constellation linked together by starlight.

After nearly two months, the Spell Model for the Insect Control Art was finally successfully constructed! This was a great encouragement to Levi.

Without Mentor, he actually managed to comprehend a Spell Model on his own.

Levi, you're truly amazing! Levi gave himself a mental thumbs up.

Of course, he did not become arrogant or complacent because of this.

"Building Spell Model is only the beginning of spell training. To make spells more proficient, more accurate, and more powerful, you need to improve through continuous spell-casting practice."

The practice of magic is similar to the Rune Seal.

There are no shortcuts to improving proficiency; the only way is through continuous spellcasting practice.

Of course, if one is Child of Element, their cultivation speed in spellcasting will definitely be faster than that of Child of Chaos like Levi.

Thanks to their single-element affinity, they can practice Meditation Technique and spells of the corresponding elemental factions with divine assistance.

However, Insect Control Art, a type of Insect School, does not belong to the Old Schools like the elemental schools.

It is closer to New Schools such as the School of Life, the Death School, and the Alchemy School.

The greatest significance of the birth of the New Schools is that it provides a way out for most ordinary wizards with the talents of the Child of Chaos.

Because compared to the older Elemental School, they have the lowest requirements for the talent of elemental affinity.

Of course, minimum requirements do not mean no requirements.

To become a wizard, one must at least possess the talent of Child of Chaos.

Because, whether it is New Schools or Old Schools.

In essence, they all rely on the four fundamental creative forces of Earth-Fire Wind-Water!

However, relatively speaking, the Old Schools relies heavily on element affinity, while the New Schools relies very little on element affinity.

After successfully constructing the Spell Model for Insect Control Art.

Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.

He discovered that a new skill had appeared on the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ——————

Insect Control Art: First Order (1/1000)

"Perfect! Once you're on my Proficiency Panel, I'll grind you to the limit sooner or later!" Levi said confidently.

The rest is simple; just follow the steps to practice casting the Insect Control Art.

The practice of Insect Control Art does not require Casting Material.

All you need to do is use your mental energy to constantly communicate and build rapport with the poisonous insects you are controlling.

Levi took out a Holy Armor Scorpion Pandora. His mental energy flowed along the well-structured Insect Control Art Spell Model, transforming into faint connections. He instantly felt as if he possessed an invisible hand, or perhaps the will of all things similar to the Mother Tree on Pandora in Avatar.

This is the high-end Wild Heart, which allows Levi to directly communicate and connect with the Holy Armor Scorpion using his spirit.

Of course, the advantage of the Wild Heart is that it can be used on all kinds of wild beasts, but this Insect Control Art can only be used to communicate with insects of different species; ordinary insects are not acceptable.

Everyone has their own area of expertise; there is no inherent superiority or inferiority among different professions.

Soon, Levi sensed the emotions of the Holy Armor Scorpion; it was sometimes confused and bewildered, and sometimes violent and frenzied.

With Levi's reassurance, the Holy Armor Scorpion gradually calmed down.

Levi tried to dispel the Black Qi and gently touched the Holy Armor Scorpion with his hand.

The Holy Armor Scorpion did not attack Levi.

"Success! Initial control is successful!" Levi exclaimed happily.

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

[Insect Control Art Proficiency +1].

"Open the liver!"

Having mastered his first spell, Levi is now a true Low-Grade Wizard Apprentice!
