Chapter 197 New Runes, Showcasing Combat Power
One day later.
Ian looked up and stood up from the lab table. In front of him were Firestone blocks, and a new skill had appeared on the panel.
[Skill: Zero Ring: Martian Rune (Beginner)]
Ian squinted.
Although it's a zero ring, the value displayed by the black line is still 50, which is quite a lot.
While it cannot compare to the Resonance Runes or the runes used in the Imprinting Body Tempering Technique, it is still considered top-tier among zero-ring runes.
"It's perfect for my studies."
Ian narrowed his eyes slightly.
His first solidified sorcery was fire-attribute sorcery, and continuously learning the corresponding knowledge greatly helped him understand runes.
Perhaps this will allow you to reach the master level in meditation more quickly.
It can also increase combat power.
"Besides, these are just stones; the real stone walls are probably at least full of genuine first-ring runes."
Ian pondered.
"Moreover, there is a lot of knowledge to learn after advancing to the next level, so it's time to calm down and focus."
He now possesses a considerable amount of knowledge.
The Hand of Blazing Flames, the first level of Meditation, the Eternal Body Tempering Technique - Crystal Skin Rune, the magic of the Eye of Harmony, as well as magic that has not yet been exchanged, and many zero-ring body tempering magic that has not yet been learned, and three fire-attribute first-ring magic.
And the new runes now.
It will take him a long time to process all of this.
So just focus on studying knowledge.
Ian took a deep breath.
If Grayson is sensible, that's fine; if he isn't, then he naturally has a solution.
A seasoned first-ring wizard...
the other side.
Director Magnus and Grayson went to a private room.
Grayson still looked unwilling.
"Supervisor, I just want to know why, even though I paid for the magic stones, I'm still not the quality control supervisor."
Magnus sighed as he listened to his words.
"There's nothing I can do, you are indeed a bit bigger both up and down, but Ian was directly planted by Kieran."
The academy also values background, so you should wait and see. You should already know about that person.
If Ian proves himself and continues to gain Kieran's approval, he will progress rapidly and leave this place in a few years. If he doesn't gain approval, the same will be true. Just wait and see.
Grayson gritted his teeth.
He also understood that what Magnus said was true.
But he just couldn't stand these wizards who were only there to get a title, even though they had just been promoted. "I understand."
Grayson nodded, but his eyes flickered, and it was unclear whether he had taken his words to heart.
"Don't we have to go down to the second level every month? We need at least two formal wizards. Since Cecil isn't here, let Ian come down with me."
Suddenly, he spoke.
Don't be silly!
"If a dean's disciple dies here, not only will the quality control supervisor be unable to protect him, but even your safety supervisor might not be able to survive."
Magnus stared at him, his tone serious.
"Sir, I'm not that stupid."
Grayson looked up at him and said, "Lord Kieran sent him here, probably to test him. The environment on the second level is very harsh. Those annoying elemental turbulence and lava lizards will not show any mercy. If he panics, don't blame me for reporting it to my superiors. Besides, some of the mine's gray assets are not something that anyone can easily take away."
Magnus fell silent.
This seems to indicate that he shares the same idea.
"I'll skip the first month, but I'll go down with you for the second one, but you have to make sure we're safe." He spoke after a few seconds.
"Of course!"
Grayson grinned.
In the blink of an eye.
A week has passed.
When Ian arrived at the mine, nothing happened.
He quickly became familiar with the ore testing process, and his study of witchcraft also went smoothly.
In an environment with a high concentration of fire element.
He could sense that fire-attribute witchcraft was much more powerful and faster to practice.
The mine also has a specially built meditation room, which is more than enough for him to meditate at his full capacity, and even slightly more.
Meanwhile, the first Mars rune has already reached the expert level and is expected to reach the master level in half a month.
The other two were also analyzed: Fiery Rune and Scorching Rune, both of which are top-tier zero-ring runes.
The efficiency is still very high.
Ian also discovered a problem.
"I'm more resistant to the flames here now."
Ian squinted.
His powerful mental strength allowed him to sense even more subtle changes; the fire element here was indeed a bit more palatable.
He guessed it was because of the runes.
Since the runes originated here, they will naturally react to the environment, so there's no problem in learning more about them.
It's a pity there are only three.
It hasn't been delivered again this week.
I don't know why.
"There should be even more from the supervisor, but I don't know if there's any way to get them, or even buy them."
Ian took a deep breath.
Keep learning.
In the blink of an eye.
Another week has passed.
Ian successfully upgraded his first rune to Master level, increasing his talent points by fifty.
.
The entire process should take about twenty days.
If this plan is followed, it should take three years to reach the master level, but...
Without enough Firestone blocks, the efficiency would be too low.
Ian plans to raise his talent to the Crescent level within two years, which will give him a better chance of winning scholarships.
"And... they're actually going to make me go down into the mine this month?"
Ian's eyes flickered.
However, safety should be guaranteed while they are apprentices at the academy, unless these people have gone mad.
Thinking about this...
He took a deep breath.
He looked at the storage ring and took out several black spheres the size of billiard balls, all of which were alchemical bombs of intermediate level one or higher.
One of them even reached the later stages.
He paid a large amount of magic stones to purchase them from the Pierce Merchant Guild, which served as his guarantee.
While these rigid alchemical bombs might not be able to kill a wizard like Magnus in battle, they would be easy to let him escape.
This is also the source of his confidence.
He cannot entrust his life to the attitude or intelligence of someone who is not even a suspect.
In the blink of an eye.
Two weeks have passed.
Ian upgraded another rune to Master level, increasing his talent points by fifty.
the next day.
Ian arrived at the entrance to the second level, accompanied by Magnus and Grayson, as well as a considerable number of miners wearing specially made, heat-resistant alchemy equipment.
“Normally, it would be two first-ring wizards going down, but since this is your first time here, I’ll go with you this time,” Magnus said.
Ian nodded.
I'm all dressed in protective gear!
Soon, everyone entered the downward-facing shaft.
As the elevator descended, the temperature rose higher and higher.
Soon, the second level of the mine appeared before his eyes.
This is a huge domed space filled with natural passages, fissures, and lava concretions, resembling a giant underground anthill.
Dark red suspended matter floated in the air, and magma fissures could be seen on the ground from time to time.
"It's so hot!"
Wearing protective clothing, Ian felt the temperature here was a bit high, let alone those zero-rings.
"Let's go."
"This is what Magnus said from the front."
Sudden.
All that could be heard was the sound of lava splashing. In the distance, from a lava lake, dozens of lizard-like magical beasts, each several meters long, appeared, but their outer layer was covered with a layer of fiery red crystals.
Lava Crystal Lizard!
Having been there for a month, Ian naturally knew, and instantly deduced that five of them were at the first level, while the rest were at the zero level.
"Prepare for battle."
Magnus said.
They stopped two first-level monsters.
Grayson also stopped one, but missed the two larger ones, which charged straight at Ian.
As they dealt with the situation, their eyes were unconsciously fixed on Ian.
I wonder how Ian will solve this.
These are two level one magical beasts, and not just the newly advanced kind, let alone two of them.
But the next moment.
Their gazes froze.
Then, fiery red tentacles appeared around Ian, and two of them instantly wrapped up the two monsters with a wave of their arms.
With almost no resistance, the two lizards were charred black in the next second.
The remaining fiery tentacles did not stop; instead, they swung them towards the dozens of zero-ring lizards.
Almost unstoppable.
After one round, the remaining dozens of monsters were dealt with.
This stunned the miners and wizards who were preparing for battle, as well as Magnus and Grayson in front.
Their expressions had completely changed.
