Walking on the street, Adil quickly arrived at his destination.
In the recording room, Adil glanced at his surroundings.
The surrounding apprentices were constantly walking around. Most of them were wearing gray robes and had cold expressions on their faces as they hurried past the place.
Walking in silently, Gray, who was originally here to carry out a mission, was nowhere to be seen. A few days ago, he was summoned back by his family. It seemed that something had happened.
Without a guide, Adil didn't mind. He slowly walked in and looked at the stone walls.
Not long after, he walked to the corner that he came to last time.
"Thorny Armor, Life Absorption …"
Looking at the two templates in front of him, Adil mumbled to himself.
This was the basic template that he had his eyes on last time. Because he was short of magic crystals, he couldn't choose it and could only leave it for now.
"I'm still lacking some offensive spells."
After thinking for a while, he continued to walk to the side.
"Ball of Particles …"
Going to another corner, Adil casually glanced at the few stone slabs in front of him. Very quickly, he turned his attention to one of the spell templates.
This was the only offensive spell that he had seen here that mainly used light particles. From the description, it was quite powerful.
"I'll take these three."
Sighing lightly, Adil muttered to himself.
If it was possible, he would like to choose a few more spells. Even if he didn't need to use so many at the moment, he could still save them for future study and strengthen his own spell reserves.
Unfortunately, in the past month or so, although Adil had earned some magic crystals from selling potions, because he had to conceal his success rate in making potions, he didn't sell many potions.
Moreover, his expenses were also very high. Not only did he have to attend many paid classes, he also needed to buy ingredients and personally conduct experiments. Adding on the fact that he had just bought the Spirit Sobering Potion's formula from Teacher Seymour, he didn't have many magic crystals left. It wasn't enough for him to buy more spell templates.
After all, the price of spell templates wasn't cheap.
After making his choice, he walked to the corner.
In the corner, the old man was still there. At this moment, he was meditating with his eyes closed.
"What spells do you need?"
Without waiting for Adil to walk in front of him, the old man spoke without even moving his eyelids.
"Thorny Armor, Life Absorption, and Particle Sphere."
Standing on the spot, Adil didn't continue forward. Instead, he looked at the man and spoke in Silence.
Hearing Adil's words, the old man's eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes.
"A total of 87 magic crystals."
He looked at Adil and announced the final price.
This price was much more expensive than the catalysis technique from last time. Because the spells that Adil had chosen this time were all worth more than Catalysis. The price of the three spells added together wasn't that high.
Looking at the old man, Adil didn't say anything. He took out the Magic Stone from his waist and placed it on the table.
The old man waved his sleeves and put away the Magic Stones on the table. He then took out three light blue crystal balls and placed them on the table. "The secret key is the default. Just use it when you return."
Adil nodded. After taking the three crystal balls, he immediately left and prepared to return to the dormitory area.
… …
Three months later.
In front of a spacious laboratory, Adil stood in Silence.
This was a unique laboratory in the academy's experimental area. There were special materials and spell formations set up inside, allowing people to test the power of their spells.
"Let's try a defensive spell first."
Standing where he was, Adil muttered to himself.
He stood where he was, took out a white robe, and put it on. Then, he cast the Thorny Armor.
After casting the spell, there was no movement in the surroundings. If not for a portion of the spiritual force in his mind disappearing and a faint sense of fatigue, Adil would have thought that the spell had failed.
"Hmm, after the A.I. Chip's modifications, the Thorny Armor's concealment is getting better and better. Even if a normal person stood in front of me, they wouldn't know that I had cast a spell."
Seeing this result, Adil nodded in satisfaction.
The original version of the Thorny Armor would cause a huge commotion when it was cast. Not only acolytes, but even normal people would be able to see it. The concealment of the spell was too poor.
After the A.I. Chip's modifications, this flaw was no longer there. Even if it was cast in front of other people, no one would be able to notice it.
After testing the concealment of the spell, Adil continued to test the other aspects of the spell.
There were some puppets in front of him.
Walking in front of these puppets, Adil took off the white robe he was wearing and put it on one of the puppets.
After doing this, he left the place and walked 20 meters away.
After walking to a predetermined distance, Adil picked up a black longbow and an arrow, and began to take aim.
He did not use too much strength for the first arrow. When it hit the puppet, a faint green light flashed on the white robe, blocking the arrow, and it slowly fell to the ground.
Seeing this result, Adil was not surprised. He continued to pick up the arrow in his hand and began to shoot.
For the second arrow, he still did not use much strength. It was roughly equivalent to a newly advanced Knight, but it was also blocked by the faint green light.
For the third arrow, Adil used about the strength of a normal Grand Knight.
This time, the faint green light flashed again, but it was unable to block the arrow's path, and it hit the white robe.
However, this arrow was also unable to break through the defensive spell on the white robe. Although it touched the robe, it was also blocked, and it only left a dent on the robe.
"Looks like this is the limit."
Looking at the dent on the white robe, Adil raised the bow again, and this time, he used all his strength to shoot the arrow.
* Bang! *
A violent sound of something hitting something was heard.
Adil looked into the distance and saw a white robe draped over a tall puppet in Silence. On it, a white feather arrow pierced deeply through the robe and into the puppet's body.
"It can block the attack of a Knight, or even a normal Grand Knight. Only when facing a top-notch Grand Knight would it be able to break through."
After roughly testing the defense, Adil concluded, "Compared to the original basic template, the A.I. Chip's improved Armor of Thorns, not only can it last longer, its defense has also almost doubled."
After testing this spell, Adil immediately started to try the next spell.
Among the four spells that he knew, Plant Catalysis was a supportive spell, while Life Absorption was a destructive spell of the plant type.
Under different circumstances, energy particles would exhibit different properties, such as positive energy properties or negative energy properties.
And Life Absorption was the use of negative energy particles of the plant type.
Through the use of negative energy particles of the plant type, it could destroy the structure of many living things, slowly corrode the other party's body, and corrode the other party's life.
In terms of attack power, this spell might not be too strong, but in terms of destruction, it was quite good. If used appropriately, it could be used in many places.
After these two spells were tested, there was only one spell left to be tested.
"Ball of Particles …"
Silence stood on the spot, and in his mind, Adil quickly constructed the template of this spell.
Slowly, a ball of light that was about a centimeter long appeared in his hand, and it kept jumping within it.
This was the Ball of Particles. In Adil's palm, every light dot contained extremely concentrated light energy particles, and together with a small number of other particles, they formed a complex structure.
With the guidance of Adil's spiritual force, in an instant, the ball of light in Adil's palm quickly flew out, and quickly drew a beautiful glimmer in the air.
* Boom!!! *
Light colliding sounds could be heard continuously.
Far away from Adil, a metal puppet that was three to four meters tall had a few small holes on it. It looked like something had exploded on the body of the puppet.
Looking at this scene, Adil nodded slightly, and then looked at the data displayed by the A.I. Chip at the side.
[Ball of Particles (Improved): Requires 0.3 units of spiritual force to be used once. Instantaneous explosive power of 16 units …]
"Just the power of 16 units of spiritual force. Although it's a little weak, the consumption is also low. It's not like other spells, which only need to be used once or twice to immediately exhaust the entire body's spiritual force."
Looking at the scene in the distance and the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil nodded, satisfied with the effects of this spell.
The so-called 'units' were the units that Magi used to measure the power of spells, and now, Adil directly used it.
After testing the spell, Adil looked at his surroundings, and then chose to leave the laboratory, walking towards another location.
He arrived at the familiar underground market, and before he walked far, there was already someone waiting in front of him.
It was Grace, who was wearing a long robe with golden edges. Behind him were a few acolytes dressed in grey robes, standing at Adil's stall in Silence, waiting.
When he saw Adil's figure, his face revealed a smile, and he immediately went up to welcome him, "You've come."
"Have you prepared the items for the trade?"
Adil's expression was calm, and he placed the bag in his hands on the wooden table.
Seeing Adil's actions, Grace's expression changed. Behind him, a grey-robed acolyte walked over and opened the bag, revealing the healing potions within.
"This is the last batch, and there are a total of 30. You can check it."
Grace nodded, but did not reply. Instead, he took out a very thick book that looked a little old.
"This is the last potion's formula. Because time is tight, we can't make the Crystal of Essence, so you can only read it yourself."
Adil did not mind, and directly took the book, flipping through a few pages.
In the book before him, there was a formula for the Soul Drop Potion.
"It's actually a potion that can directly increase spiritual force."
After looking at the ingredients and effects of this potion, Adil was a little surprised.
Although potions made by Magi were very precious, among the countless potions that could directly increase spiritual force, they were undoubtedly the most precious. He did not expect to see one here.
"It just looks better."
