Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 18 Special Runes, Advancing to Rank 3 Star Talent

"Mental strength breakthrough to Master level, talent increased by 3."

Talent: 130 → 133

The notification sound rang out along with the sound of trees cracking, and Ian was instantly jolted awake.

"Three points of talent were increased?"

Ian looked at the magic trick with a look of surprise.

Before advancing, his biggest worry was that even zero-ring sorcery would increase his talent value.

This is what he is most worried about.

After all, if all knowledge is limited to 1 point, the rate of talent improvement will only become slower and slower.

That's not what he wanted to see.

But that worry vanished instantly.

It's a pity that one of the three points is still missing.

"If other people knew that I could increase my talent by three points by learning a zero-ring sorcery, they would probably be drowned in their spittle."

Ian joked about himself.

It can enhance talent without any restrictions; it's practically defying the heavens.

At least in books, resources that can enhance talent are extremely precious.

Not to mention the academies within the schools, even formal wizards rarely see them.

All he needed to do was quietly learn all sorts of extraordinary knowledge.

It just means spending more money.

But it was all worth it.

Ian sensed the changes in himself, but then noticed something was amiss.

Within the mental space.

Not far from the two mental energy runes, another rune appeared.

It has a simple structure and is very small.

"This is?"

Ian examined it closely and was immediately stunned. Wasn't this a rune for mental impact?

Normally, things take time to develop, but this one just appeared out of nowhere.

Mental touch.

The runes lit up instantly, and a natural feeling returned.

"This is?"

Concentrate your mental energy.

The air in front of me began to ripple again.

Boom!

A large tree suddenly fell to the ground.

"This is... instant cast?"

Ian's throat moved slightly.

There are no incantations, no process; apart from mental preparation and input, it is almost instantaneous.

"Upgrading from zero-ring sorcery to master level will unlock sorcery runes and allow for instant casting of spells?"

Ian pursed his lips.

It seems like yet another amazing surprise.

The effects of instant-cast magic are self-evident; in the course of battle, even a tiny bit of time can determine the outcome.

This is especially true for lower-ranking wizards.

The time saved from chanting incantations was enough for him to perform the spell several times.

By the time the witchcraft course reaches its final three months and combat is required, this will be enough to create a huge gap between him and the others.

The gap is almost impossible to bridge.

"I wonder what will happen with those spells that require materials?"

Ian pursed his lips.

He is currently learning the most basic witchcraft, but in the future, some witchcraft may require materials to perform.

That would be really interesting if it could be cast instantly.

Just as I was feeling sentimental, the sound of footsteps pounding on the ground suddenly rang out.

"Someone is coming."

Before Ian could react, his body instinctively began to run towards the school.

He had only run a few meters when he slowly stopped, because several figures were slowly walking towards him from the direction of the school.

He was dressed in a black wizard's robe with the patrol's insignia.

The patrol team noticed him.

That should be fine.

"Ian?"

A surprised voice rang out, and Ian looked up to find that the leader of the patrol was none other than Charles.

His witchcraft instructor.

"Teacher Charles."

Ian was relieved.

"You did this."

Charles then turned to look at the two fallen trees in the distance, and then at Ian.

Judging from the diameter of the tree, its power is already close to three energy intensities.

Even he, who had practiced mental power for over a decade, couldn't achieve the same level of mental strength.

"Ian, join the combat department. I can recommend you to several core wizard squads, or you can join my wizard squad, which is also a core team."

Charles couldn't help but say.

The wizards behind him were also astonished.

Many of the core departments of the combat division exist in the form of small teams, but the personnel selected are all carefully chosen.

Vice-Captain Charles actually invited Ian?

"Seriously, don't go to the apothecary department. What's the point of spending all day holed up in the lab mixing potions? Combat is so much more fun."

Charles looked intently at Ian, gritting his teeth.

Ian's lips twitched, never expecting it to lead to this kind of thing.

The core departments of the combat department are naturally good.

However, he needs a large number of magic stones, which is something that only the potion department can actually provide.

However, it can be considered a fallback plan.

If we ultimately fail, joining the core combat department is also an option. The main difference between the core and peripheral departments isn't just resources.

There are also various permissions.

This is what he learned after Lucy finished talking to him that day.

That is witchcraft of excellent level or above. Ordinary departments can only purchase one per year, but core departments can purchase three times that amount.

Ordinary witchcraft can be discounted by 20%.

He really couldn't refuse this.

"I will consider it as an instructor."

Ian said seriously.

"Think it over carefully."

Charles patted him on the shoulder and then turned and left.

I was originally there to check the situation, but since everything is normal, I need to go back to my post.

.......

Ten minutes later.

Ian went home.

I relaxed immediately.

"I must move to a different place someday."

Lying in bed, looking at the cramped room in front of him, Ian was thinking silently.

The Maple Leaf Avenue where Chris lives is actually where high-ranking wizards reside, and the environment here is completely different.

They even have maids.

That's the kind of living environment wizards should have.

Those things can undoubtedly be achieved more quickly in the core departments.

"Keep it up! You're almost at the third-tier talent level. After that, everything will be great!"

Ian was lost in thought.

......

The sun rises and sets in eight cycles.

The enhancement of talent is not just a change in witchcraft.

The slight improvement in his meditation talent allowed him to meditate once more, and the effect also increased slightly.

The magic tricks were also officially changed from once every four days to once every three days.

This is also the most abnormal part of the system.

Improving one's talent will lead to improvements in the system.

Like a snowball rolling down a mountain, the volume changes faster and faster as you go further.

Of course, he is still in the early stages.

Of course, there was bad news and good news during these eight days.

"The bad news is that no talent points were gained today."

Ian looked at the Dust Technique, which had been upgraded to Master level today, but his talent remained unchanged.

Upon closer reflection...

Perhaps this magic trick and the Breeze Technique share some similarities in their core principles.

This prevented him from massively increasing his talent points through modified witchcraft.

Of course, there is also good news.

"The Knight Mage has been upgraded to Master level, with five talents improved."

Ian looked at the talent value of 140 on the panel.

Besides the two magic tricks, there are five more knight magic tricks that have been upgraded to the master level.

It has two more talent points than the mental strength impact.

Indeed, while knightly magic is not as powerful as witchcraft, it seems to be of greater value in terms of human evolution.

With his knightly magic reaching the master level, he estimates that he will reach the knightly perfection level within one or two months.

"It's a pity there's no part about the Great Knight."

Ian thinks the Knights are pretty good, it's just that most people might improve slowly.

Let's see if I'll have a chance to buy the Great Knight Fa in the future.

They should be available at the market.

But Ian isn't going.

Although the school of thought claimed that the issues had been resolved in principle and that safety could be guaranteed, and even that Logan had already visited the mutual aid society once.

But he doesn't gamble.

What if?

Let's just stay within our own school of thought.

"Compared to that, breaking through through meditation is more reliable."

Ian's meditation progress has reached 340.

This time it will take about ten days, but with the improvement of his talent, his comprehension and other abilities will also improve, so it will only take seven or eight days.

In the blink of an eye.

Eight days have passed.

At this point, his talent level had reached 143.

At the same time, another meditation session was completed.

"Basic meditation technique has broken through to master level, talent increased by 10."

Talent: 143 → 153

"Talent: Fourth-class star → Third-class star"
