[I couldn't log in yesterday to send the article. I'm stupid. The new version has been having problems, and now it's not working either. I'm using the old version, and I can finally send it. There's another update at midnight.]
Salin thought to himself that he had guessed correctly. Joey really didn't know the lightning spell. As a powerful mage, it would be strange if he didn't ask about something he didn't know.
"It's a spell I learned myself, the Eye of Lightning." Salin answered honestly.
Joey was silent. He couldn't possibly let Salin teach him this spell. This was a spell created by Salin himself, and it was unique in this world. What could he use in exchange? He had already promised to teach Salin magic, so he definitely couldn't use this to exchange for a spell.
"I want to learn." Joey said with difficulty. He was such a proud person, so he could only ask Salin for help.
"Sir, as you wish." Salin smiled, but didn't make any requests. As long as he made a request, Joey would fulfill it if he could. But he couldn't ask. Letting Joey bring it up himself was the most suitable choice.
"Heh." Joey laughed and shook his head. "If you didn't inherit the Seriger Island, I'd be interested in taking you in. But even though the Seriger Island isn't strong, they have a lot of people, and I can't afford to offend them. How about this, I'll teach you a spell I created myself, Water Elemental Magic. "
Salin didn't take Joey's words seriously. The Seriger Island's inheritance was in danger. There were only about 30 Magic Shooters left, and none of them was a Level-9 Magic Shooter. If he didn't find a way to go to the Six Dimensional Space, the Seriger Island's inheritance might be broken in three to five hundred years.
"Do you want to learn offensive magic or defensive magic?" Joey didn't make the decision himself, but asked for Salin's request first. Joey didn't respect people who could create their own magic, but he liked them from the bottom of his heart. Magic could only develop by constantly adding new content.
Many ancient magic had disappeared. If the mages of today didn't know how to innovate, and only thought about digging from the ruins, there would never be a day where magic could flourish again.
"What are they?"
"The offensive magic is the Level-6 Icy Spear. The defensive magic is the Level-7 Dark Shield. The Icy Spear can fuse light elemental magic with water elemental magic. The Dark Shield is an advanced version of the Confusing Fog, fusing dark elemental magic. "
"I'll learn Shield of Darkness." Salin immediately made his choice. The attack power of the Ice Spear wasn't small, but he had the Crystal Finger skill. After reaching the seventh level, his attack power wasn't lacking. The Shield of Darkness was actually evolved from the first level spell, Bewitching Fog.
Moreover, Salin's Cloud Walk was fused with some of the characteristics of the Bewildering Fog. If he could fuse it with the Shield of Darkness, Salin would have a powerful defense when he flew.
"The right choice. When you understand the principles of defense, you will know how to attack. In comparison, defense is much more difficult than offense. "Just like that, Joey began to explain the Shield of Darkness to Salin.
Learning Shield of Darkness wasn't difficult. Salin could already learn a level-seven spell. Moreover, his mental power was enough to support him in mastering this skill. Under Joey's guidance, the long incantation, the complicated hand gestures, the changes in the guidance of spiritual energy, and the various methods of controlling the concentration of elements were all meticulously done without any obstacles.
In a few hours, Salin had firmly memorized all the contents of the Shield of Darkness. Then, he began to ask questions. His way of asking questions was a little strange. He asked questions from the perspective of the magic he was good at, trying his best to know the effects of the other spells he released while using the Shield of Darkness.
This kind of question was equivalent to Joey pointing out all the spells Salin had learned. Salin's question was from a strange angle, and Joey was very interested in answering him.
The Shield of Darkness was the same as Salin's mutated Water Pattern Shield, an omnidirectional defensive spell. After this level-seven spell was released, it would form a cube like a beehive around the magician's body. This hexagonal shield was more resistant to physical attacks than the Water Pattern Shield.
Because it was a level-seven spell, the Shield of Darkness' ability to defend against elemental magic was much stronger than the Water Pattern Shield. However, the Shield of Darkness wasn't an instantaneous spell. It would take about twelve to thirty vibrations to complete. In other words, the fastest time to release the Shield of Darkness was one-fifth of a second.
Salin began to discuss with Joey the problem of how to coordinate the Shield of Darkness with his other spells. His idea was to combine the Shield of Darkness with his Water Pattern Shield and Cloud Walk. This way, the Water Pattern Shield's instantaneous ability would make up for the Shield of Darkness' weakness.
Joey casually chanted a new incantation for Salin. This incantation forcefully fused the three spells together. Salin had to use Figaro's magic formula to calculate it once, and it took him a whole day to rearrange a few short notes. It couldn't be said to be perfect, but Joey still succeeded in modifying this spell.
In fact, this wasn't a single spell, because casting this spell consumed the sum of magic strings of the three spells. There wasn't any form of reduction in the consumption. This was a compound spell, but the connection was seamless.
This spell could instantly release a mutated Water Pattern Shield. When this Water Pattern Shield received an attack and couldn't bear it anymore, it would transform into the level-seven Shield of Darkness. This transformation could also be active. Similarly, when the Water Pattern Shield was broken, the Cloud Walk spell could be released at the same time.
Switching between water elemental spells was much easier than switching between other elemental spells. Salin used the next two days to study Ice Blade, Compound Icicle, Water Cut, and other skills.
The Shield of Darkness would use up half of Salin's magic strings. Under such circumstances, Salin could still release the same number of spells as a level-six mage. His magic strings were still double that of a mage of the same level. In other words, Salin basically had no match in the realm of level-six mages.
This was because if he put up a level-seven shield, a level-six mage could only endure the ravages of his spells unless they attacked in groups.
If a great mage wanted to kill a Magic Shooter, the best way was to attack in groups and solve the problem with numbers. However, the flying speed of a level-seven mage wasn't something a level-six mage could catch up to. Therefore, Magic Shooters were almost invincible existences to mages below them.
Salin learned very quickly. He didn't know that Joey had spent a lot of energy and used a secret method to forcefully impart knowledge to him in order to satisfy him in these six days. Lightning skills were too important to Joey. At his level, no matter how strong an ordinary skill was, there wasn't much difference between them. If he could master lightning skills, Joey would have the confidence to go overseas to find the ruins of the Second Dynasty.
In the sea, the worst thing was to encounter thunderstorms. In such weather, even a mage of his level couldn't fly. Once he mastered lightning skills, it would be much safer to fly at low altitudes. With the abundance of his magic strings, it wouldn't be a problem to travel thousands of miles across the sea.
After six days, Salin felt like his brain was stuffed to the brim. He looked out of the window blankly. The night was about to end. In the deep sky, the stars were dim, but Salin saw the Light Element and the Dark Element perfectly fused together. At this moment, his Ice Vision actually advanced.
Salin had always been curious about this ability. Because his Icy Vision existed in the same way as magical beasts, he could use it at any time. It wasn't limited by mental strength, and it didn't seem to consume magic strings. He never thought that Icy Vision would advance, and in such a peaceful way.
Salin saw the elements in space. This was the level-nine spell, Elemental Eye.
This was a support skill. Using the Elemental Eye, one could see hundreds of miles away. However, the surface of the continent was curved, and the distance one could see was limited by the terrain.
Being able to clearly see the elemental structure of all substances allowed a mage's understanding of magic to reach a whole new level. In other words, when Salin learned magic in the future, he only needed to be demonstrated once and observed with the Elemental Eye. After that, he could learn on his own and perfect it at the fastest speed.
With the Elemental Eye, he could directly see the enemy's flaws. Not just in magic, but also in divine arts and sword aura. The problem was, this was a level-nine spell, and Salin was only a level-six elemental mage. He wasn't a level-nine magical beast, so how could he have the Elemental Eye?
Salin hurriedly put away the skill. Even if it didn't consume magic strings, this was still a level-nine spell, and it had a high demand on mental strength.
Joey taught Salin without rest or sleep for six days. On the last day, he saw that Salin had suddenly obtained a new ability, and he couldn't help but re-evaluate Salin.
Salin was still that untalented mage. Other than tenacity, Joey couldn't see any good points in Salin. Yes, that hand was a good point, but it wasn't something Salin was born with. It was a power he obtained later on. Compared to his own disciple, Salin's aptitude was very ordinary. So why was he so lucky?
Joey couldn't understand. Unfortunately, there were no astrologers in this plane, and he couldn't see Salin's fate.
Salin took out a scroll and began to use magic to etch words on it. Three hundred and sixty words he created were printed on the blank scroll. Salin handed the scroll to Joey and said, "This is the lightning rune I've comprehended. I'll tell you how to use it after I rest, I …"
Before Salin could finish, his body swayed and he lay on the floor. He wasn't a strong person like Joey, who couldn't rest for six days and six nights, and had to study intensely. This greatly exhausted his energy. After making sure that all the knowledge was stored in his brain, Salin couldn't hold on any longer. He said a few words to Joey and directly fell asleep in front of him.
