Its Power Was Truly Terrifying, the Vastness of the Wizard System

Chapter 22: Its Power Was Truly Terrifying, the Vastness of the Wizard System

A sense of fullness arose in his mind, as though he had stuffed himself with food and drink until his stomach was bloated, making even breathing feel difficult. This tangible sensation, coupled with a faint dizziness, made Wang Ya instinctively brace himself against the bookshelf beside him.

The Supernatural Knowledge he had once found incomprehensible and obscure became clearly structured after being analyzed by the Eye of Truth.

Between heaven and earth existed vast quantities of Natural Energy Particles. They possessed different attributes—some inert, some active, with elemental distinctions. Life originated from heaven and earth, and the particle energy within a wizard's body carried the same properties. Yet it was far harder to find, infinitesimally scarce.

A wizard's spiritual power was the source of the supernatural. Refined through Meditation, it could gradually influence reality.

Fearful Flame Wizardry drew upon the particle energy within one's body through spiritual power, thereby releasing it.

Everyone was different, and the elemental particle wizardry suited to each person was likewise different.

If the particle energy within one's body was more suited to Fire Elemental Particles, then casting Fire Element Particle Energy Wizardry would yield twice the result with half the effort, and its power would be somewhat stronger as well.

Wang Ya quietly spoke six words: "Elemental Particle Affinity."

He wondered whether the particle energy within his own body leaned toward such properties. The books on the shelf that introduced matters related to wizards, particularly the choices of wizard paths, also gave him new insights.

And this was merely one branch within the elemental energy wizard system.

The larger systems also included Bloodline Wizards, Mechanical Wizards, White Wizards who studied life, and Black Wizards who pursued souls. These systems also contained even more subtle branch distinctions.

Not to mention the wizard systems that had vanished into the long river of history.

At this moment, the profound and boundless Wizard World, like the Endless Sea, unveiled only the tip of its iceberg before Wang Ya.

He took a deep breath. No matter which elemental particles he was inclined toward, he had to give it a try.

The Eye of Truth continued analyzing a new Low-level Wizardry: Fire Elemental Particle Energy Shield.

Meanwhile, Wang Ya began studying and mastering Fearful Flame Wizardry.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside remained the same monotonous seascape, apart from the differing conditions of the waters and the ever-changing skies.

What left all the freshmen aboard the Wizard Ship shaken with lingering fear was the storm they had experienced last night.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed, fierce winds howled, and the waves surged. Under such conditions, the massive Wizard Ship had been like a toy, tossed about at will.

Everyone knew what would happen if the ship capsized.

Even Wang Ya had unusually refrained from studying Supernatural Knowledge. Harak curled up in the corner, and flashes of lightning cast white light across his pale cheeks, revealing his terrified expression.

Through the tightly shut window, amid the raging Giant Waves, there seemed to be a terrifying existence. It possessed an incomparably enormous body, turning freely beneath the waters, making even the Seabed tremble because of it.

"This is the Extreme Power of Nature."

After passing through the storm, they saw blue skies, white clouds, and seabirds in flight.

Along with it came good news: he had thoroughly mastered Fearful Flame Wizardry and perfected his calculations for particle energy. He could now attempt to cast the wizardry.

The most difficult part of this wizardry lay in controlling particle energy and maintaining the stability of each bloom of Energy Flames.

One slight mistake, and if it exploded, the entire room would become Ruins. If he was lucky, perhaps he would leave behind a complete charred corpse.

The number of Energy Flames depended on the amount of particle energy output by the wizard. The power worked the same way.

Naturally, Wang Ya could not cast wizardry inside his room. To be safe, he joined today's Sea Beast Hunt.

Harak circled in flight overhead, both standing watch and observing whether any Wizard Freshmen were swimming in this direction.

Clusters of reefs stood amid this stretch of sea, creating a highly unusual and rare sight. The largest reef had endured wind, sun, and the pounding of waves, yet remained hard and steadfast.

Wang Ya stood atop this reef, his gaze fixed on another reef protruding from the water not far ahead.

He was also deeply curious about the power rating of Fearful Flame Wizardry.

Generally speaking, it was judged by the Particle Energy Units output by the wizard.

According to the Legacy Wizardry Book, a fully cast Fearful Flame Wizardry could reach at least around 13 degrees.

Physical resistance could correspond to a wizardry's power rating and provide a certain degree of defense.

Of course, if the disparity was too great, one could only become charcoal.

The power of Energy Flames could melt even steel into liquid in an instant.

The improvement brought by the second Wizard Rune, along with his particle energy value reaching 1.6.

Wang Ya focused his mind and calmed his breath, his wizard spiritual power beginning to sense the Natural Energy Particles around him.

This was a small trick for mastering and casting unfamiliar wizardry: using the elemental properties of heaven and earth to trigger a reaction from the particle energy within one's body, even increasing its power by a few degrees.

But it required a certain amount of time, making it especially clumsy when applied in actual combat.

He raised his pale hand. A large amount of particle energy within his body gathered in his palm, and with the involvement of Supernatural Spiritual Power, a streak of crimson blossomed there.

Pfft!

The flame began small, like a seed of fire. Then, as particle energy was fed into it, it grew larger and larger, its flickering blaze gradually stabilizing.

In the end, a crimson Energy Flame the size of a bowl appeared in his palm. It wavered beneath the sea breeze, seeming as though it might go out at any moment.

At least eighty percent of the particle energy in his body had been consumed.

Wang Ya's expression shifted slightly, while fine blue radiance flashed through his pupils.

Within the flames condensed high-intensity particle energy, drawn inward to an extreme degree. Under the control of Supernatural Spiritual Power, it barely maintained its balance.

Yet every unit of Fire Element Particle Energy possessed intensely active properties. They moved of their own accord, collided with one another, and disrupted that stability.

Wang Ya's scalp suddenly tingled. He hurled the flames in his hand away.

The next instant, the swelling fire transformed amid a shrill scream into exploding light and heat, sweeping across the area. Its range was roughly five meters, and the reef lay within its shroud.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A great deal of steam rose from the sea's surface. The wizardry was still too unfamiliar, too unpracticed; it could not be sustained for long—only two seconds.

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes. The firelight had already gone out, and the reef had turned into charred black carbon.

The Eye of Truth saw through to its essence. The reef's interior had also suffered absolute destruction; with the lightest grasp, it would crumble like soft earth.

Naturally, the high temperatures within had produced a Crystalline State.

Target: Fearful Flame

Degree: 13

Duration: 2 seconds

Casting Time: 10 seconds

Perhaps it was also because he was out at sea. The external elemental medium leaned toward water and remained in an inert state.

The sensing and guidance of spiritual power was far too slow.

In ten seconds, even an ordinary person could rush up and stab him seven or eight times.

Wang Ya frowned slightly. Its degree had reached the standard, but the casting time and duration could be further optimized.

The environment's influence on wizardry was unavoidable. On land, its power should be somewhat greater.

With the Eye of Truth's assistance, he should be able to bypass the sensing and guidance of Supernatural Spiritual Power, directly using the particle energy within his body to drive the wizardry.

Fortunately, his analysis of Fire Element Particle Energy Wizardry had also reached its final stage.

Tonight, he would succeed!
