Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 22 Breakthrough

Yunhua: Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ

Klein: "I originally intended to forge a portable magical artifact, but an accident occurred during the process, so I had to modify it into a regular disposable magical artifact and sell it at the price of a regular magical artifact. I never expected it to end up in your hands."

"What a coincidence..."

Dr. May: "When I first heard it, I also thought it was a coincidence. The Fried family is good at forging handheld magical artifacts, and Klein spends most of her time doing experiments with me, so very few magical artifacts have left her. I never expected that you would have one."

"I've heard Klein mention this failed magical artifact before. She's always been hung up on it, feeling that she shouldn't have made that mistake. What do you think about having Klein rework it now?" Dr. Mei said, looking at Yunhua.

"I'm fine," Yunhua shrugged.

"But I've heard that wielded magical artifacts require the user's own magical energy as power, and different types of artifacts require different types of magical energy. In this situation, should I use a poison sword?"

"No, poison-attribute magical artifacts aren't suitable for being made into swords," Klein objected. "Generally, poison-attribute magical artifacts require considerable stealth to use, while sword-type magical artifacts are better suited for direct confrontation."

"Furthermore, this magical artifact was originally intended to be forged into a fire-attribute weapon, so if it's to be modified now, it's best to keep it as a fire-attribute weapon."

Yunhua: "But I don't have a fire element! Do I have to awaken a fire element specifically for this sword?"

Dr. Mei: "Don't worry about that. Even if you don't have fire elemental abilities, you can still use the power of fire."

Yunhua: "?"

Dr. Mei didn't say much, but simply led Yunhua to a quiet room.

"I've wanted to say this for a long time, Doctor, your rooms here really have everything you could need!"

Dr. Mei glanced at Yunhua and then said, "Research shows that breakthroughs are easier when one is in a state of high mental alertness, so a moderate level of tension can be helpful. I'm going to ask you some questions to help you focus and also to check on your recent studies."

What are the characteristics and effects of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*?

Without hesitation, Yunhua replied, "They are yellow in color, no more than half a meter long, and mostly grow in areas with a high concentration of earth elements. They can be used to make potions that enhance earth resistance or fed directly to earth-elemental demons to improve their abilities."

What are the benefits of sunflower?

"It can increase resistance to dark magic and can also be made into powder to repel low-level dark creatures."

"Camphor wood..."

"Deworming..."

Dr. Mei then asked several more questions about pharmacology, but Yunhua answered them all with ease.

Yunhua had learned all of this knowledge diligently in the illusion space, and he remembered every single point perfectly. This alone was not enough to make him feel nervous.

Dr. Mei also noticed this, so the questions she asked became increasingly off-topic, but they were all within Yunhua's knowledge.

When asked the final questions, Dr. Mei seemed somewhat exasperated, "It seems we need to try a different approach!"

"Doctor, what is this?"

Looking at the scarlet medicine that Dr. Mei brought over, Yunhua recalled unpleasant memories.

"Blood-Boiling Potion"

"Boiling Blood? I've heard Senior Sister Klein mention that name before. I thought it was a magical name."

"That is indeed the magic that comes with the Hundred Beasts Evil Body. It can greatly improve the user's physical fitness and enhance mental activity. The Boiling Blood Potion was developed based on this magic, and the two have the same effect."

"I also added some medicine that can replenish your mental energy. Drink it, and I guarantee you will break through smoothly."

After drinking the potion, Yunhua sat cross-legged on a futon, motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation, but his mental world was filled with turbulent waves.

The dark green stardust emitted a dazzling light that flickered on and off. A faint veil of light enveloped the stardust, while the light emanating from within the stardust was trying to break through this hazy veil.

The light curtains resembled eggshells or silkworm cocoons, enveloping the energy about to emerge. They appeared motionless under the impact of magical energy, yet showed obvious swelling due to the surging of internal energy.

At this moment, the medicine Yunhua drank took effect. He felt his body become burning hot and his mind became unusually active.

At the same time, a surge of energy originates from the body and enters the spiritual world. This energy is like the breaking force injected into the stardust of the clouds. It suddenly condenses from all directions!

Just like countless small rivers converging into a single river, the tranquil river suddenly surges forth, its rolling waves crashing against the riverbanks!

The outer layer of the silkworm pupa finally developed cracks, and the spiderweb pattern spread outwards in an irregular manner, with the cracks growing larger and larger.

However, as he frantically pushed towards the next realm, Yunhua could feel his spirit bearing a tremendous energy backlash, causing him a splitting headache.

Normally, Yunhua believed she wouldn't have been able to persevere; the mental shocks she received were sometimes like swords piercing her brain, and sometimes like the ocean under a storm.

The churning and colliding mental anguish was something I had never experienced during my usual cultivation. It was a thousand times, a hundred times, more intense than the exhaustion that comes from having all my energy depleted. It was like the torment and devastation of a nightmare...

If you relax your mind even slightly or give up even a little during this process, all your offensive efforts will vanish instantly, and you'll have to start all over again!

However, Dr. Mei's medicine was indeed effective, greatly increasing Yunhua's pain resistance and enabling him to persevere.

"Hehehe..."

Yunhua gritted his teeth, squeezing out a painful roar from his throat.

At this moment, in the spiritual world, things are in turmoil, with towering waves crashing against the shore; we have reached a critical juncture.

The light of the dark green stardust had reached its peak, but suddenly, as if suppressed by some force, it dimmed abruptly, as if it were about to perish. In this mental world where a huge movement had occurred, it suddenly dimmed, becoming darker and darker, much like an old star that had burned out its light.

next second.

Yunhua suddenly opened her eyes!

The pupils were not dilated like those of a human; inside was a dark and mysterious spiritual universe, and a nebula that suddenly burst forth with the most intense brilliance!

The two stardust particles, which were about to become lifeless, suddenly burst into the most intense brilliance, which quickly filled Yunhua's entire spiritual universe.

Having successfully broken through, less than a year after Yunhua left Bocheng, Stardust transformed into Nebula, and he officially became a mid-level mage.

In the past, stardust was just a tiny speck of dust in the universe. It existed, but it was incredibly small, and the energy it could provide to magicians was quite limited.

And now, a vast nebula hovers there, so clearly visible in the boundless spiritual universe, adorning a chaotic spiritual world!

Yunhua introspectively examined this spiritual world: "I felt it."

"strength!"
