Time passed. Two days later.
Inside the soundproof room.
Angor constructed a spell model in his mind. It was a simple spatial structure, which looked like a "W" when viewed from the side.
As the model was completed, his mana pool began to extract mana from it. In just a few seconds, the model was completed.
In an instant, a faint crescent mark appeared on Angor's palm. Wind elements in the surroundings began to crazily rush into the crescent mark.
With a thought, Angor pushed his palm forward, and a faintly visible crescent wind blade was thrown out of the crescent mark.
The crescent-shaped wind blade hit the touchstone in the corner at an extremely fast speed, leaving a shallow mark.
"A simple wind blade doesn't do much." Angor looked at the mark. "But this isn't a wind blade cantrip."
Next, dozens of crescent wind blades emerged from Angor's palm and hit the touchstone wave after wave like a string of bullets. One wind blade might only be a shallow mark, but when dozens of wind blades came at the same time, the touchstone could not withstand it and was cut in half.
By the time the crescent mark on his palm completely disappeared, Angor had released 27 wind blades in total.
Wind Blade, a level-0 cantrip. Blades made of wind could be released from a long distance. The further the distance, the lower the damage.
Crescent Barrage, a level-1 cantrip. Create a mark that could absorb wind and turn it into wind blades. The amount of wind blades absorbed was determined by the level of perfection of the cantrip.
Angor just used the level-1 cantrip, "Crescent Barrage". Moreover, the first cantrip model he constructed was almost perfect. Crescent Barrage could convert at least three wind blades. The more perfect the cantrip model was, the more wind blades the mark could store. A perfect cantrip could store at least ten times the amount of wind blades, which was 30 wind blades!
Angor's first cantrip model already had nine times the amount of wind blades stored. This was a shocking number! Most apprentices' Crescent Barrage could only store two to three times the amount of wind blades at most, and it was almost impossible to improve it further.
But Angor was different. His cantrip model was almost perfect because of the powerful positioning function of the Axes of the Universe. As long as Angor got more familiar with the cantrip, he could easily store ten times the amount of wind blades.
One level-1 cantrip was equal to 30 level-0 cantrips in Angor's hands. This was a miracle!
He took out a pen and paper and jotted down the key points of his first level-1 cantrip. At the same time, he turned on his tablet and tried to rearrange the elemental arrangement of Crescent Barrage.
There were a total of 417 permutations, and it would take 126 hours to calculate all of them.
Ever since he started the Sky Tower matches, he placed the tablet in his soundproof room and used it to rearrange the cantrips he learned.
Excluding the Level 1 Crescent Blade that he learned today, he had learned 23 Level 0 Cantrips so far. Most of them were Defensive Skill Sets. The combination and arrangement of the elements of these cantrips had been calculated by the holographic tablet in the past two months.
Just these 23 level-0 cantrips alone had 14000 transformations. Most of them were useless transformations, but there should be some outstanding improvements … But he did not test them all, so he could only use "probably".
At the very least, the improved version of the Cleaning Spell that he used last time, the Tornado, was a pretty good improvement.
Angor let the tablet enter the backend and began to retrace his mana source to check how much mana was left in his mana pool.
A Crescent Barrage with nine times amplification only consumed a quarter of his mana pool.
Angor was delighted. This meant that he could use the same cantrip at least four times when he had enough mana. Four times might not seem like much, but this was a level-1 cantrip!
Just two days ago, he couldn't even cast a Level-1 cantrip. Forcefully casting a spell would result in a Model Collapse Spell.
How could he not be satisfied with what he had achieved in just two days?
Still, this was within his expectations.
Quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes. Angor had been building a new spirit tunnel for his spirit model. This tunnel was very special. Once it was completed, the speed of mana flow would change drastically.
Unlike the others, it was a flat, circular tunnel that surrounded the singularity in the center.
On the circular channel, there were also six scattered mental channels whose starting points were singularities that were connected to each other.
When the tunnel was completed, Angor's mana pool capacity increased by ten times. This was why Angor was able to test Crescent Barrage.
When he returned to his mindspace, he saw that his spirit model had changed again. Other people's spirit models had already been finalized. The speed of mana flow and the capacity of their mana pool were all fixed. Angor's spirit model, however, was not completed yet.
Even so, Angor's mana pool was much better than his peers.
His spirit model could now be divided into three parts. The first part was the singularity, which was the sphere in the center.
The second part was the "vertical tubes" on the surface of the sphere. So far, Angor had built 81 of them, which made his spirit model look like a "sea urchin".
The third part was the flat, circular tunnel he built today. When combined with the sphere in the center, it looked like a planetary belt outside some planets. However, this planetary belt was connected to six "vertical tubes", which could be used to directly exchange mana with the singularity in the center.
The three parts combined to form his current spirit model. It looked a little strange, but its effect was already the best of all known channeling methods in the southern region.
When Angor finished building all the models recorded in the channeling method, the effect would be even greater than other channeling methods.
It was a pity that Singularity Dispersive Meditation was incomplete. Angor wondered what it would be like if he had the complete version.
…
No matter how perfect a channeling method was, it was still impossible to reach the sky in one step.
Meditation was a process that required a lot of time. Angor had tasted the sweetness of increasing his mana pool, but he still had to go back to the slow process.
Even so, the capacity of his mana pool was still increasing day by day.
A week later, he was able to cast five level-1 cantrips with full mana. With the current level of his mana pool, he could already be ranked in the middle of the pack among the level-1 apprentices.
However, with his overall strength, alchemy weapons, and Toby's help, he could probably defeat level-3 apprentices.
His strength was steadily increasing. On the other hand, Angor spent a week and a half reading through Enchantment Cyclopaedia: Beginner, Basic, and finally found the first enchantment that could counter undead creatures in Enchantment Cyclopaedia: Advanced.
The enchantment was called "Prelude to Elimination".
The name was quite different from the "XX Rune" in Enchantment Cyclopaedia: Beginner. Obviously, it was not a low-level spell. Since the predecessors were willing to use their brains to name it from a literary point of view, it meant this enchantment was not simple.
As for how it was not simple?
A simple comparison would show that from the amount of carvings, information, and complexity, this enchantment was probably a hundred times more difficult than "Rune of Sharpness".
Because this was not a rune at all. It was a magic array!
Rune enchantment and magic array enchantment were both enchantments, but there was a huge difference in difficulty. A magic array was formed by combining multiple runes. Unlike a single alchemy rune, a magic array could be automatically enchanted on an alchemy item.
For example, Angor's scythe was engraved with Rune of Sharpness, which could increase the sharpness of the scythe and make it easier to cut grass. This was only a single rune enchantment, which could only passively increase the effect of an alchemy item.
However, with a magic array enchantment, the scythe might be able to freeze everything around it with a casual wave of his hand. Or he could throw the scythe into the air and use it as a means of transportation. If the material was good enough, he could even turn the scythe into a portable space.
Magic arrays had all kinds of strange enchantments. Generally speaking, they were not as good as "synthesis", but they were still unique. Rune enchantment, on the other hand, could only help an alchemy item to be graded. These two enchantments were two completely different things, and they were not on the same level of difficulty.
For alchemists, all they needed to do was to memorize runes and enchantments, and then rely on their "proficiency" to support it.
But for magic array enchantments, memorization was not enough. The enchantment involved certain operating rules. If they looked away, they would lose their memory of certain key areas. If he wanted to enchant a magic array, he would have to understand how the different mageweaths matched the axis of the axis.
For Angor, his enchantment was a direct projection, which was not much different from rune enchantment.
However, he cheated by using his projection. After a few times of drawing rune enchantments, he could abandon the projection and draw with his own hands. Even if the space he drew was small and the runes had to be compressed, he could still do it without making any mistakes.
As for magic array enchantments, he was not confident that he could draw them without using his projection.
Angor looked at the "Prelude to Elimination" again. This magic array was made up of six runes. He used to think that "Rune of Sharpness" and "Rune of Frost" were complicated. But when he looked at this "Prelude to Elimination", he realized that all the runes he drew before were child's play.
Angor projected the diagram of "Prelude to Elimination" onto a piece of paper.
This was a magic array of equal proportions. From afar, it looked like a blob of melted ink. From a closer look, it was still a blob of melted ink.
When Angor looked closer, he realized that it was not a blob of "darkness". The runes were so dense that they looked like a blob of darkness to the naked eye.
