Mystic Arts Weapon

"Intermediate Aberration?"

Chen Ji frowned.

Then he suddenly realized!

He had already mastered Secret Art Magic.

What did he have to fear?

The Ring of Ragadol could injure the Aberrant Wolf King, so it could surely kill it too!

It seemed his old man had been right.

Magic had to be defeated with magic!

Whoosh!

With a flick of Chen Ji's left hand, brilliant magical sparks formed another magic shield.

The two magic shields looked naturally wrought, their surfaces covered in mysterious runes that formed a solid barrier.

Purple light permeated their entire forms.

This came from Chen Ji absorbing the energy of the Power Stone!

Therefore.

The Ring of Ragadol he cast carried the violent pressure of a raging dragon, radiating an unstoppable aura of destruction.

Even an Intermediate Aberration could not withstand this kind of true damage!

"Big brother!"

"What kind of move is that?"

"It's so amazing!"

"Can you teach Sugar?"

"Sugar wants to learn too!"

Sugar's eyes sparkled as she hurriedly hugged Chen Ji's thigh, puffing out her cheeks and acting adorably with forceful determination.

Chen Ji could not help laughing.

It seemed the situation had completely reversed.

Sugar had once been Chen Ji's support, but now he had become Sugar's support!

"Of course!"

"Once I deal with the Aberrant Wolf King, I'll teach you slowly!"

Chen Ji smiled.

Then his sharp, scorching gaze turned back to the Aberrant Wolf King.

"Awoo—"

"Awoo—"

The Aberrant Wolf King's eyes flickered. It immediately threw back its head and let out a piercing howl.

The Aberrant Netherwolves scattered elsewhere heard the wolf king's summons and rushed toward this area on swift, agile legs.

One Aberrant Netherwolf after another appeared, all skin and bones and ravenously hungry.

They raised their ghostly green eyes, casting cruel and savage looks as they circled Chen Ji.

[Aberrant Netherwolf]

[Level]: Low-Level Aberration

[Entries]: Iron Claws, Copper Fangs (Green), Fight to the Death (White).

[Iron Claws, Copper Fangs] (Green): The Aberrant Netherwolf possesses an extraordinarily powerful bite, and its sharp claws can tear apart flesh and blood.

[Fight to the Death] (White): Without the wolf king's command, the Aberrant Netherwolf will never retreat until it sheds its last drop of blood.

"One Aberrant Wolf King..."

"Ten Aberrant Netherwolves..."

"Luckily, the Aberrant Netherwolves are all Low-Level Aberrations."

"Now I don't need to worry about Sugar's safety."

Chen Ji thought to himself.

Thanks to the blue talent [Academic Prodigy], he could also see more hidden information.

This pack of Aberrant Netherwolves had likely gone a long time without food and lacked stamina!

Moreover, the Aberrant Wolf King's lower leg was injured, making its movements warped and sluggish. Chen Ji might not be without a chance!

Strike while it was sick and finish it off!

"Big brother..."

"We have to end this quickly."

"That howl from the Aberrant Wolf King has attracted other Aberrations too!"

"Powerful Aberrations!"

Sugar's little face turned pale. She trembled in fright, her beautiful eyes constantly searching the surroundings, her heart filled with terror.

"It attracted Powerful Aberrations...?"

"Alright!"

"Protect yourself!"

Chen Ji moved with Thunderous Momentum.

He would not underestimate Sugar's warning.

The next second.

He shot forward in a swift step. The Ring of Ragadol flashed with dazzling light and flew fiercely toward the nearest Aberrant Netherwolf.

At the same time.

The other ten Aberrant Netherwolves suddenly arched their bodies and charged straight at Chen Ji!

Their bloody maws opened wide!

Their fangs glinted with a bright metallic sheen.

A foul wind rushed into his face!

Amid the wolf pack, Chen Ji swayed left and right, easily evading their attacks. The Ring of Ragadol suddenly erupted with a booming crash!

It viciously knocked an Aberrant Netherwolf flying!

At that moment, Chen Ji's [Martial Arts Master] talent displayed incomparable effectiveness, allowing him to fight the pack alone with ease!

Squelch!

The sound of bursting flesh rang out!

The Ring of Ragadol targeted an Aberrant Netherwolf's throat and slashed viciously across it!

In no time at all.

He had rendered every Aberrant Netherwolf completely unable to move.

"They really are tenacious..."

Chen Ji's gaze turned cold.

Looking at the Aberrant Netherwolves with broken legs and torn tendons, dazzling light suddenly bloomed from his hands, instantly forming a Secret Art Spear!

This could almost be considered magic Chen Ji had created himself!

Because [Academic Prodigy] and [Self-Taught] had allowed him to grasp the essence of how magic worked.

He could even wield it with consummate mastery, creating numerous methods from it!

Put simply.

Magic was energy.

Energy could be like a trickling stream or a vast river.

When poured into a bottle, it took the bottle's shape. When poured into a cup, it took the cup's shape.

And when he shaped magic power into a spear and infused it with energy, it became a Secret Art Spear!

The Secret Art Spear's power and durability depended on his magic power and imagination.

If Chen Ji wanted, he could even manifest a Gatling Gun and fire wildly!

However.

He did not understand the Gatling Gun's basic structure, nor did he have any blueprint or information in his mind. Naturally, he could not create a Magic Gatling Gun.

"This reminds me of the Energy Rings in the neighboring DC Universe..."

"Energy Rings also depend on their wielder's willpower and can manifest energy weapons out of thin air..."

Chen Ji's thoughts raced.

Then he suddenly swung the spear. The spear shot forth like a dragon, sweeping across everything in its path!

He viciously pinned down the sluggish Aberrant Netherwolves!

Bright blood spurted from their wounds.

A crisp voice announcement immediately rang in his ears!

[Aberrant Netherwolf killed]

[Luck Value +5]

[Luck Value +5]

[Luck Value +5]

...

"Luck Value +5!"

"Awesome!"

"Killing ten Aberrant Netherwolves gives me fifty Luck Value."

"If I kill the Aberrant Wolf King..."

"Wouldn't that be doubled?"

Expectation filled Chen Ji's eyes.

Then he suddenly noticed that the Aberrant Wolf King was preparing to flee, treating the Aberrant Netherwolves as expendable pawns!

"Big brother!"

"I'll stop it!"

Sugar gave a light shout.

In the blink of an eye.

She appeared before the Aberrant Wolf King. With Chen Ji on one side and herself on the other, she completely trapped the Aberrant Wolf King!

"Awoo—"

The Aberrant Wolf King threw back its head and howled again.

But it could no longer summon any more Aberrant Netherwolves.

"Next year today will be the anniversary of your death!"

Chen Ji curled his lips.

Then the Secret Art Spear dispersed and gathered once more into a curved bow. He drew it to a full moon!

An energy arrow appeared!

Whoosh!

As Chen Ji released his fingers, the energy arrow cut a straight path through the air. Fast as lightning, it instantly pierced the Aberrant Wolf King's eye socket and shot through its skull!

[Aberrant Wolf King killed]

[Luck Value +20]

"Nice!"

"Luck Value +20!"

"I hit the jackpot this time!"

Chen Ji beamed with delight.

What a haul!

Once he returned to the Safe Zone, he could immediately upgrade the [Martial Arts Master] entry!

A lottery draw?

Pah!

Not even dogs would play that!

[Name]: Chen Ji

[Identity]: Formal Mage

[Talents]: Academic Prodigy (Blue), Martial Arts Master (Green), Self-Taught (Blue), Fortune in Misfortune (Green), Provisional Weird (Black), Covetous Burden (Black).

[Luck Value]: 140.9

Chen Ji looked at his Entry Panel, feeling utterly content.

After this battle.

His use of Secret Art Magic had undoubtedly improved significantly.

He had comprehended the essence of Secret Art Magic.

Given time, he would surely become a highly skilled Mystic Arts Master!

"Big brother!"

"Run!"

"A Powerful Aberration is coming...!"

Sugar hurriedly grabbed Chen Ji's pant leg, her face filled with anxiety.

At the same time.

A shocking commotion like falling trees and collapsing mountains erupted!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A colossal creature towering into the clouds, reeking of a foul stench, strode between heaven and earth like a mountain range!

Chen Ji unconsciously swallowed.

At once, he saw the Entry Panel of this Powerful Aberration!
