Ah! Jiang Cheng, are you alright?
Seeing a sharp metal spike piercing into Jiang Cheng's body, Bai Leng panicked. He watched as Jiang Cheng hurriedly broke free from Jiang Cheng's embrace, and then pulled Jiang Cheng out from the sharp metal spike.
It would be a lie to say that he was alright.
Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly. This metal spike didn't differentiate between friend and foe. Once it pierced through, it actually caused a crack to appear on Jiang Cheng's spine.
"Ouch, be gentle."
Jiang Cheng suddenly let out a strange cry. Bai Leng was hugging him. Although it looked a little strange, because Bai Leng was in a hurry, his rough hands and feet directly touched Jiang Cheng's wound, causing Jiang Cheng to grimace in pain.
"Are … are you alright?"
Bai Leng looked at Jiang Cheng's appearance and immediately became nervous. Then, he closed his eyes and quickly stimulated the source power that he had been suppressing for a long time. Then, a time attribute energy directly shot towards Jiang Cheng's back. Jiang Cheng could instantly feel that the area on his back that had been constantly bleeding had actually started to slow down. It turned out that the time attribute could also be used in this way.
I can't heal the wound on your back by speeding up time. Water magicians from the first class, come quickly!
Bai Leng said anxiously. Then, a girl ran over. It was actually the little girl who had asked Jiang Cheng for an autograph.
"Come, cast a healing spell on him. He only suffered a stab wound, it's not a big deal."
Looking at the girl, Bai Leng opened his mouth and said. Then, he flicked his finger and a stream of source power was injected into the girl's body. The girl immediately felt that her whole body was filled with energy. She nodded, took off the necklace, and said, "Almighty Water Elemental God, listen to my prayer. Light and water fuse, heal!"
As the girl continued to chant the incantation, the star-shaped gem in the center of the necklace emitted a golden and blue radiance. A holy radiance shone down, accompanied by a water ball, and directly fell on Jiang Cheng's back. This was the first time Jiang Cheng had seen such a scene of magic. It could be seen that this girl's magic attainment was not low.
As the light shone down, the water-type energy enveloped Jiang Cheng and he felt his body warm up. The stab wound on his back began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
This is a third-level spell. My god, is this girl so strong?
The spectators from the other classes looked at this magic and exclaimed in shock. It could be seen that this magic was quite powerful.
Third-rank spell …
Jiang Cheng slowly closed his eyes. He didn't know much about magic, but he knew that third-level magic represented the peak of the introductory stage of magic. The explosive power of a third-level attack magic was comparable to a ninth-grade source weapon. However, because it took a long time to cast, it wasn't particularly powerful. However, third-level healing magic was different. Magic was divided into ten levels. Each level represented a stage. The introductory stage was the spell warrior, followed by the second-level mage, and the third-level was the magician stage.
Once a magician reached this stage, they would truly enter the introductory stage. Third-level healing was the strongest and most practical skill among the third-level spells. Only a fourth-level magic scholar could be considered a real magician. At the fourth-level, magicians could open their magic eyes and feel magic power. Moreover, their control over magic power would be faster and stronger. Therefore, the speed at which they could cast attacks would also be much faster.
This little girl should be a third-level magician. At this stage, the most popular magicians were naturally water or light magicians who had learned healing magic.
Of course, the wood element wasn't impossible. It was just that the wood element was more inclined to support the fire element. In comparison, the water and light elements were much inferior.
Feeling the energy on his back, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but nod his head. This girl's relationship with some of the academy's teachers was probably not shallow. This girl's water element included the light element, and her healing magic was extremely effective. Generally, people like her were extremely popular. Just like how the Ruochen Empire was protected by the other six countries, there weren't many water and light element magicians.
After a moment, when the magic stopped, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes. Apart from some pain on his back, there weren't any scars. The energy flowed unimpeded. It was obvious that he had almost fully recovered.
Third-level magic was indeed powerful. He reckoned that even if this person was beaten half to death, he would be able to recover with a single spell.
When Jiang Cheng felt his body return to normal, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. This water magic was truly a good thing. At that time, Jiang Cheng could clearly feel a bloody hole in his back. However, when the water magic touched it, it didn't take more than five minutes for it to return to normal. Apart from some pain, he didn't feel anything else.
I can only cast this magic, but I can't cast it. I'm only a second-level magician. It's mainly because Teacher Bai has been constantly imbuing me with source energy so that I can sense the surrounding magical elements. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to cast this magic. Even when I'm at the third-level, it'll still be difficult for me to cast this magic. This magic is rated at the third-level and a half, close to the fourth-level. Big Brother Jiang Cheng, you're really lucky this time.
While speaking, the little girl looked at Jiang Cheng, who was standing up, and said while blinking her eyes. Jiang Cheng was also stunned. He didn't expect this magic to be so difficult to cast.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look at Bai Leng. Bai Leng's face was blocked by energy, but when he saw Jiang Cheng's gaze, he couldn't help but turn his head away. His face inexplicably blushed, but fortunately, with the energy blocking, others couldn't see it.
Alright, since there's nothing else, then everyone can disperse. I'm going to my room to cultivate. Do whatever you want to do.
Jiang Cheng looked at the people around him and smiled. After saying goodbye, he directly left. Although he was also a student, he was more inclined to be more casual. Anyway, no one cared about him.
After returning to his room, Jiang Cheng directly entered a meditative state and began his first source energy cultivation.
Source energy was just a name for the spiritual energy of the world. When Jiang Cheng began to absorb this source energy, he discovered that this source energy cultivation method was actually something that could be developed into any cultivation route.
For example, for a mage, the most important cultivation method was naturally magic. But on this continent, source energy was powerful, and it could even allow the human body to better mobilize magic and produce the effect of magic attacks. If it was fire-attributed source energy, if one wanted to cultivate as a mage, one needed to use source energy to attract the surrounding fire elements, thereby producing spells such as fireballs. This kind of source energy was extremely effective, and it seemed to be able to be used with all kinds of energy. Of course, apart from one's own mental strength.
The main reason why Jiang Cheng couldn't cultivate source energy in weapons was because Jiang Cheng couldn't sense the surrounding spiritual energy. The most difficult part of cultivating source energy in weapons was sensing spiritual energy. Source energy had the effect of evolving. Sensing spiritual energy, gathering it into one's body, and then transmitting it to the source energy of the weapon, allowing it to evolve. This kind of transformation was very simple.
But in reality, it was very difficult. Only when one reached the source king level and could absorb the turbid energy would it be much easier. This was also the reason why source energy in weapons was very strong in the later stages.
At the source king level, one's body had already been tempered at the source weapon and source general levels. Their bodies were extremely sturdy, and they were no longer corroded by the impurities in the surrounding energy of the world. Therefore, one didn't need to extract it when cultivating, and could just directly inject it into one's body.
Once the source energy of a weapon reached the source king level, one could truly display the power of the source energy of a weapon. It should be known that the source energy of a weapon could evolve. If the source energy of a weapon unintentionally evolved once at the source weapon or source general level, the source energy of the weapon would completely change the material of the weapon.
Moreover, the most heaven-defying thing was that the source energy of a weapon could be purified regardless of level. As long as one was strong enough, the source energy of a weapon would continuously evolve along with one's strength. After all, there was almost no end to the path of cultivation.
Jiang Cheng slowly opened the source energy vortex, and strands of energy continuously poured into Jiang Cheng's dantian. Jiang Cheng used the metal attribute to continuously absorb the metal attribute contained in the spiritual energy of the world. The rarer the attribute, the slower it was to cultivate. This was an unchanging principle. Of course, this was excluding Bai Leng's time attribute.
No matter what type of cultivation, the more the surrounding environment leaned towards the attribute, the more elements there would be in the surroundings. If a fire attribute source energy cultivator cultivated next to a volcano, the benefits would naturally be much greater than normal. This was also why wood attribute source energy could be cultivated faster than many other attributes, because it was simply too easy to find the wood element.
As Jiang Cheng continued to extract the excess spiritual energy, Jiang Cheng didn't choose to expel it. Instead, he tried to stimulate the source energy of his other weapon. The absorption of the source energy of a weapon was extremely slow, and the cultivation speed was at least twice as slow as normal attributes. This kind of weak source energy wasn't very popular in this continent, but Jiang Cheng knew that his weapon source energy wasn't as weak as he had imagined. It was just that Jiang Cheng hadn't found the mysteries of cultivation yet.
When he first arrived in this world, Jiang Cheng also realized that the people at the Source King Stage weren't that heaven-defying. Although their cultivation speed was slow, was their method of cultivation wrong?
For example, Qian Nan, who had cultivated for five or six years, was only a grade 5 Origin Weapon. On the other hand, Jiang Cheng had directly soared to grade 5 with a casual awakening, making him the same as Qian Nan. In fact, now that Jiang Cheng had awakened a second time, killing a fire attribute mage like Qian Nan would be as easy as raising his hand. Could it be that the power of the source energy released was so weak?
