Wizard Heart, Azure Spirit Thousand-Eyed Jellyfish

Wang Ya carried a deep-red Shellfish Sea Beast onto the deck, Harak swooping down to land on his shoulder.

The Wizard Freshmen on deck remained like strangers. They merely glanced over with their eyes, with no intention of speaking.

On his way to the storage room, he happened to run into Anna coming out. Her brows drew together slightly, but she said nothing.

Too many Wizard Freshmen had acted unconventionally in an attempt to draw her gaze. Such behavior was useless.

The two passed each other.

After weighing the sea beast food in his hands and entering the information, Wang Ya moved on to the follow-up improvement plan for Fearful Flame Wizardry.

Inside the room.

Spreading out a sheet of draft paper, Wang Ya sat in his chair and wrote down his insights and understanding of Wizard Knowledge.

Having tested the data of Fearful Flame Wizardry, Wang Ya's grasp of this portion of Wizard Knowledge had become much more solid.

His shortcoming was that his foundation was too thin. He could understand how to do something, yet had not seen through its essence.

It was like knowing how to use a tool without understanding the principle behind how it worked.

He needed to systematically study a great deal of Basic Supernatural Knowledge, such as the theory of the relationship between the activity and inertness of elemental particles, the influence of the frequency and amplitude of Fire Elemental Particle Energy on wizardry power, the Theory of Elemental Essence, Detailed Explanation of Wizard Particle Energy, Book of Dissecting the Supernatural, and other foundational knowledge.

On the bookshelf, Wang Ya found introductions to this Basic Supernatural Knowledge, as well as slogans explaining its importance.

The Umbral Expanse Wizard Force had already begun investing in them aboard the Wizard Ship, though it was a hidden investment that required discerning eyes to discover.

For the Wizard Freshmen, the trials and tempering had already begun the moment they stepped aboard the Wizard Ship.

The Eye of Truth was a shortcut, but laying a solid foundation was equally important.

Wang Ya set down the Feather Pen in his hand. The improvement plan for Fearful Flame Wizardry had already been written.

Broadly speaking, it could be approached from two aspects.

First was proficiency with the wizardry. Ideally, he would shorten its casting time to within two seconds.

Second was supplementing his foundational knowledge—understanding the essence of how Fire Elemental Particle Energy formed wizardry, was released, and produced its effects.

That way, his understanding of subsequent Advanced Wizardry Knowledge, and even High-grade Wizardry Knowledge, would become far more thorough.

On the existing foundation, it might not be impossible to add something of his own.

As the last streak of twilight sank below the distant horizon.

Wang Ya closed the window, and the light in the room shut out the darkness beyond.

Prompt: 'Fire Elemental Particle Energy Shield' analysis complete.

Wang Ya first went to the washroom and cleaned himself up. A vast amount of Supernatural Knowledge appeared in his mind, making him feel slightly dizzy. After resting for a while, Wang Ya absorbed that Supernatural Knowledge. The method of casting this wizardry, how to grasp the measure of particle energy, and its capabilities all became clear.

As its name implied, it was a wizardry with the nature of an energy shield. Energy shields formed from different elemental particle energies possessed subtle differences and effects.

In battles between wizards, energy shields were exceedingly important. They could defend against a certain degree of enemy wizardry attacks.

Even when placed on the defensive, one could rely on an energy shield to buy time and reclaim the rhythm of battle.

According to the information in the Legacy Wizardry Book, a fully cast Fire Elemental Particle Energy Shield could withstand a single wizardry attack below 15 degrees.

Attacks from mortal metal blades and swords would turn to molten iron the moment they drew near.

Only the supernatural could contend with the supernatural.

Time at sea passed quickly. With the Eye of Truth's assistance, it took around ten days to successfully master this Low-level Wizardry.

A small accident occurred while testing the wizardry.

During a sea beast hunt, Wang Ya had moved far away from the Wizard Ship and reached an area where the sea surface had little wave motion.

He had gone even farther than during his previous wizardry experiment. Perhaps because he now possessed Supernatural Power, he had grown bolder.

Before he could test the Fire Elemental Particle Energy Shield, a faint "gulu" sound made his face turn pale at once. As if he had seen a ghost, he swam frantically toward the Wizard Ship.

He nearly exhausted all his strength swimming toward the Wizard Ship, while also directing Harak to fly toward him.

Ripples suddenly spread across the previously calm sea. A great number of green granular objects rose from beneath the water and floated on the surface.

But that was not the most crucial part. Beneath the water, a vast Shadow Silhouette was drifting toward Wang Ya.

Upon closer inspection, those green granular objects each had a tiny black dot at their center, opening and closing from time to time like the eyes of some creature.

Prompt: Information on Mid-level Supernatural Creature 'Azure Spirit Thousand-Eyed Jellyfish' collected. Begin analysis?

The Shadow Silhouette beneath the water moved together with the green granular objects drifting on the surface. It was fast—at least faster than Wang Ya could swim.

As the distance between them rapidly closed, part of the underwater Shadow Silhouette split off, tentacles stretching toward him.

All of Wang Ya's wizardry used Fire Elemental Particle Energy. Out in the boundless sea, their power would already be discounted, not to mention that this Big Guy was a Supernatural Creature comparable to a Rank 2 Wizard Apprentice.

With his meager Particle Energy Units, it would be a struggle just to cast a single wizardry.

This was a life-threatening crisis.

Wang Ya felt regret, but even more than that, he was awakened to the danger. He could not lose his original Wizard Heart just because he had gained power.

Caution. Carefulness. Absolute wariness and respect toward every unknown.

At least ten tentacles split from the Shadow Silhouette and lashed toward him.

Wang Ya's gaze darkened. He stopped swimming, and at some unknown moment, an ancient Parchment Scroll covered in Wizard Runes had appeared in his hand.

The meaning formed by the text could only be understood by wizards.

It was called Water Prison of Corruption, Mid-level Wizardry!
