Knowing that there was a trap ahead, Tang Shidao obviously wouldn't recklessly step into it.
Although he had Reincarnation and Solar and Lunar Eclipse as his trump cards to deal with the situation, he had to be more prepared for the first time facing an inverse mage. The mission had already been given to him, so it didn't have a time limit. It would take a long time to clear a planet, so the other side wouldn't ask for a short time.
Mages usually considered their own safety when doing missions.
Even if they had the ability to quickly clear the planet, they wouldn't run out of mana.
No one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any accidents, so it was necessary to reserve some mana to deal with sudden changes. Escaping back to the big library could guarantee his safety, but it also meant that the mission had failed. Mages who were doing missions couldn't give up because of a little accident, so they had to choose to stay or go according to the situation. For example, if the mission was to kill a wolf, and a big dog ran out after the fight, would they have to give up?
No!
Definitely not.
Therefore, it was normal for mages to reserve half of their mana while doing missions.
Calculating the amount of mana in his hands.
First of all, a successful high-level meditation could increase his mana by 100 points, which was exactly the same as the purchase price. This was a benefit that had to be taken back first.
Moreover, the battle power of the tiger-man transformation was gradually insufficient, so he needed a more powerful and efficient transformation. Now he had more than 200 points of mana left, which was more than enough to buy the dragon-man transformation. But, should he choose a new spell or choose to evolve and improve himself? This was a very important choice in life.
Finally, he also needed to prepare some alchemy potions. In terms of refining, other than the ring, he didn't seem to have made any weapons or armor.
There were many things to do, so he couldn't rush.
Before this mission, he had to calm down and organize his thoughts.
"Scarecrow, is there a place that isn't a training ground but a place to hone your skills? The premise is that it can't be monitored by outsiders. "Tang Shidao asked.
"There is, a blank book."
"How much is it?"
"1 million points of mana." The scarecrow calmly told Tang Shidao a frightening number. Tang Shidao was completely dumbfounded.
After a while.
Tang Shidao said, "Scarecrow, opening the beginner training ground has the same effect, it only needs 1 point of mana."
The scarecrow nodded seriously, "Yes, the beginner training ground has the same effect, and you can pick up some things inside. There was nothing in the Blank Book, only a blank world. It was equivalent to the most shoddy training ground. The only advantage was that it could be used at any time. I suggest that you don't buy it. The cost of a blank book is enough for you to open a million elementary training grounds. "
Tang Shidao did not believe that there was anything 'useless' in the Magician's Web. "I like to train whenever I want. Tell me, how can I get it?"
The scarecrow was puzzled. "Young man, I never lie to my guests. The Blank Book did not have any special bonuses. Only those who wanted to build a Mage Tower would buy it. It has only three uses. First, it can be used to build Mage Towers. Second, private training. Three, you can leave behind as many spells as you want. "
"So it's so expensive because …"
"Yes, we can bet on luck." The scarecrow told the truth and explained, "The Blank Book is a training ground. Dead mages might leave behind such things, and they would fall into the Mage Net. It's like a treasure chest. It might contain a spell, or it might contain nothing. "
"Can you open a Mage Tower?"
"Impossible. The Mage Tower's book is no longer blank. There are still a few spells left inside, "the scarecrow explained.
"What do I want to do?" Tang Shidao knew that the scarecrow in front of him was bribed.
"Let's bet."
"Tell me."
"For the zombie planet mission, I bet that there is no Inverse Mage. You bet that there is. If I win, I want one of your things. If you win, you can pick one of the Blank Books. "
"I don't want to start the mission yet." Tang Shidao did not want to change the plan.
"It's okay. I can let you use it first. If you're wrong, I'll take back all the bets. "
"What do you want? A high-level Mage certificate?" Tang Shidao thought that this was the most valuable thing he had on him. The scarecrow did not know that he had a forbidden spell.
"No, the Mage certificate can't be transferred. I can't bet. I want your big curse. "
"Okay. How can I prove that I guessed correctly? You can't see it. "Tang Shidao would not fight openly because he might have to use a forbidden spell this time.
"Since you can come back alive, I naturally know whether you met Inverse Mage or not. You can also get a small reward for killing Inverse Mage. I'll tell you in advance, it's really a useless small reward. It's just a memory. "The scarecrow never lied when it talked about business.
When it talked nonsense, it usually had nothing to do with the mission or the deal.
Tang Shidao understood that there must be a special revelation for killing Inverse Mage. Even if it was not killed, there would be traces of encountering Inverse Mage that the scarecrow would know.
"Pick one."
The contract was established. The scarecrow immediately waved its hand. Instantly, countless spell books appeared in the air … No, spell books with no content.
Spell books with no names and no records.
"These Blank Books may be empty, or they may contain the relics of a certain Mage?" Tang Shidao asked again.
"There can't be relics, only spells. For example, if you go in to cultivate and find that you have too many spells, you don't feel good if you don't throw them away. So, you leave one or more spells in the Blank Book. When you die, this thing will automatically become ownerless. The next time some fool buys it, he can open it and receive the spells you threw away. "The scarecrow's tone was very hateful, but its explanation was very detailed.
When Tang Shidao heard this, he thought to himself that this was like opening a treasure chest.
However.
"Let me remind you, young man. More than 90% of the Blank Books are empty." The scarecrow reminded him again.
"Anyway, I got it from gambling. I don't have that much money to buy it."
"You might not win. You're just guessing." The scarecrow's mouth was unforgiving.
Tang Shidao did not argue and randomly picked a Blank Book.
According to the method.
The first time he opened the Blank Book.
He confirmed his sovereignty and stepped into his' private training ground 'world for the first time. Tang Shidao disappeared. In the outside world, the Blank Book quickly closed and automatically floated back to one of the bookshelves.
The scarecrow's smile was strange, as if it felt that things had become interesting.
From its expression, it did not look like a gambler, because it did not have an expression that showed that it wanted to win.
Inside the Blank Book.
This was a world that was half black and half white. There was a distant white ground and an empty black sky.
Black and white occupied the two halves of the space.
Tang Shidao stood on the white ground and saw three spell runes floating in the air, emitting different lights.
Did he win the lottery?
Tang Shidao waved his hand and the three remaining spells immediately became his. However, they were: Treant's Descent, Sheep Transformation, and Hawkeye Halo!
Chicken ribs … No, trash!
Treant's Descent was a summoning spell, but it had the same prerequisites as Dead Resurrection. Dead Resurrection needed corpses, Treant's Descent needed forest trees. Polymorph wasn't a transformation spell. It was an effect spell that turned weak enemies into little sheep. As for something as' high class' as Hawkeye Halo, hehe, Hawkeye Halo could do it, or a telescope.
"There are many people who expect to win the lottery, but only one really did." Tang Shidao said to himself, not disappointed at all.
As long as there was an Inverse Mage on the zombie planet, this Blank Book was equivalent to being given away for free.
It was better to be able to open a spell than to be completely blank.
With a private training ground, he could do a lot of things without being afraid that anyone would find out his secret. Immediately, Tang Shidao began to practice Advanced Meditation, forgetting himself and everything until he reached perfection.
He did not know how long had passed.
Tang Shidao felt that he had improved by a step after he finished all the three parts of Advanced Meditation.
Intermediate Meditation had the ability to remember everything he saw.
Now.
Inference, sharpness of mind, clarity of mind, all kinds of states appeared one by one, like an instinctive awakening. Of course, this was not a brain suddenly filled with countless knowledge and turning into a scientist in a second. This was an increase in intelligence and mental power, it was impossible to become a scientist without learning and research.
After he finished practicing Advanced Meditation.
The first thing Tang Shidao considered was the application of transformation spells!
With his mind clear, Tang Shidao gave up on the idea of buying Dragonman Transformation and chose to derive new skills on his own. Recalling Immortal Yulong's research on magical beasts, Tang Shidao decided on the first backup plan: to study the Water Demon Transformation and derive the 'Flood Dragon Transformation' spell.
"This is the backup plan, the most important thing is the combat power of the Tiger Transformation …"
There was a hierarchy of priorities.
Tang Shidao did not study the Flood Dragon Transformation immediately, but studied another spell: Burning Hand.
"Solar Eclipse."
After studying Burning Hand repeatedly, Tang Shidao felt that he had perfect control over it. This was the first time he cast a Forbidden Spell. Forbidden Spells were the easiest spells to derive, in theory, there should be no problem. But when the black flames surged, Tang Shidao's arms were burned to ashes before he could even cry out in pain.
The effect of the Forbidden Spell was permanent.
The ashes were still arrogant in the black flames, mocking its master for being too ignorant.
"Limb Regeneration." Tang Shidao healed his hands and used twice the mana to disperse the black flames. The permanent effect of Great Curses and Forbidden Spells was very scary, without mana, it could never be removed by physical means. Even if it was a simple flame, without magic power to disperse it, it would still burn until the end of time.
Second experiment.
Tang Shidao's arms lasted for three seconds, and this was the result of casting a healing spell.
Third time.
The duration did not change.
Fourth time …
Fifth time …
Tenth time …
Hundredth time …
Thousandth time …
Ten thousandth time …
The power of Solar Eclipse seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, it did not even give face to its master. After being burned for ten thousand times, there was only a slight sign of 'softening'. This softening did not give Tang Shidao too much face, it only lasted for ten seconds.
During this time.
Just the continuous experiments, continuous healing, and continuous limb regeneration, Tang Shidao increased his mana by ten points. The Solar Eclipse version of Burning Hand had not been successfully derived, but the mana gained was enough to buy three Burning Hand and more than three times.
"It's the first time I've experienced deriving spells so difficult." Tang Shidao was speechless.
He also understood.
It was so difficult because it was a Forbidden Spell. If it was a Flood Dragon Transformation, he would have succeeded long ago.
"I'm going to fight with you."
Tang Shidao was not discouraged at all, there was no free lunch in the sky, and there was no power for nothing. He was already very lucky to have obtained a Forbidden Spell. If he wanted to obtain more power, he had to work a hundred times harder than others. He raised the black flames again, this time not Burning Hand, but the black flames of Solar Eclipse covering his whole body.
Ten seconds.
After a burst of burning pain, Tang Shidao was burned to ashes.
Death came.
"Reincarnation!" Tang Shidao, who was in the private training ground, was not afraid of anyone spying on him. This time, he really fought with the Solar Eclipse.
Rebirth.
Death again.
Rebirth again.
Death again.
In the indescribable pain, Tang Shidao felt as if he had been tortured in purgatory for ten thousand years. Finally, the black flames on his body became a little gentler. However, it still did not give in, it also fought with Tang Shidao.
I bet the dignity of a Forbidden Spell … I don't want to change!
I bet the dignity of a Mage … I must change you!
Death burning and reincarnation rebirth.
Pain and endurance.
Terrifying power and crazy persistence.
In this struggle, even time lost its color. After an unknown amount of time, finally, a shaky human figure was reborn from the ashes. The body was covered in black flames like clothes, emitting incredible heat, as if it could even scorch the dimensional space.
Suddenly.
