Chapter 35: First-Tier Magic “Skeleton Summon”

As night fell, everything around became silent. Luo Yan sat cross-legged on his bed alone, working hard on his Meditation cultivation . A faint deep green light emanated from his body. It was clear that besides the four Mana Vessels he had previously stabilized, the fifth one was now slowly filling up. It was only a matter of time before it became officially stable.

This afternoon, Luo Yan had been truly shaken by Isaiah Thomas. Did he have to be that exaggerated? He had only copied a portion of the Battle Aura Heart Method and had not even finished it, yet he could actually gain a sudden realization, clear his mind, and raise his realm in one go. He had directly broken through to the “Battle Aura like Steel” realm. How were other people with “poor talent” supposed to survive?

It should be known that in the early stages of cultivation, it was far more difficult for a Martial Artist to level up than for a Magic Professional. Every time they wanted to raise a level, they needed to comprehend the realm themselves to make a breakthrough. Magic Professionals did not have this trouble. Except for the jump from level three to level four—which was the transition from low-tier to high-tier where one needed to comprehend the “Elemental Heart”—at other times, as long as their mana, techniques, control ability, Mental Strength, theoretical knowledge, written tests, oral tests, exemptions, and practical operations were all up to standard, they could naturally increase their professional level. It was completely a natural progression.

Therefore, at the low and middle professional tiers, the cultivation speed of Magic Professionals was often much faster than that of Martial Artists. At almost every professional level, a large number of Martial Artists were trapped and could not make any progress, yet it was rare to see a Magic Professional trapped at a certain level unable to advance (someone like Old Strom was limited by talent and was a rare exception).

However, after advancing to high-tier professions, the situation became completely opposite!

Martial Artists progressed bravely and rapidly, focusing only on pursuing their own way, making it easy for them to reach the peak. Magic Professionals, however, had to comprehend the Great Law of the Cycle of All Things and understand the true world. Naturally, their advancement speed slowed down. This was why among level nine powerhouses, Martial Artists such as Great Sword Saints, Shadow Dancers, Blessed Knights, Great Knight Riders, Blood Warriors, Berserkers, Golden Archers, Skywalkers, and Ancestral Soul Fighters were everywhere, while Magic Professionals like Archmages, Necromantic Archmages, Liches, Holy Light Priests, Divine Priests, Great Druids, and Legendary Bards were very few.

But now, this person had spent a few days less time cultivating than him, yet his speed in breaking through the realm was actually faster than his own, a genuine level seven Magister?

This strong stimulation increased Luo Yan’s efforts. For a moment, he felt a sense of extreme desperation to succeed. It was because he deeply realized that he was not the only person in this world with a lucky encounter. Being reborn was indeed a huge stroke of luck, but if he did not work hard, he might truly waste this luck!!

Right now it was Isaiah Thomas, and in the future, there would be many more “God-gifted geniuses”… If he did not want to be dealt with by little Alan again, the only thing he could do was work harder and harder to do his best to increase his strength.

—Mental Strength skills were, after all, too dangerous. They could be called double-edged swords. They were fine as auxiliary skills or for occasionally playing tricks on people, but using them as a primary means was a bit unreliable. Having been reborn once, Luo Yan cherished his little life very much and naturally could not take such a risk. Therefore, accelerating the increase of mana and recovering his magical strength as quickly as possible was the royal road…

…

…

…

With every breath, elements flowed. He did not know if it was because of the influence of Isaiah Thomas, but Luo Yan felt that the speed at which he absorbed elements to accumulate mana during Meditation today was a bit faster. His previous accumulation had already reached the critical point, and with this catalyst, he actually felt that he was about to succeed?

Of course, the increase in Meditation speed was definitely an illusion, but “succeeding” was not—this did not mean that Luo Yan’s overall cultivation was complete, but rather that his mana accumulation finally seemed “enough” to use a first-tier magic spell!

In the deep of the night, a faint light seemed to flicker on Luo Yan’s body. A moment later, Luo Yan suddenly opened his eyes with a face full of joy, appearing extremely happy… Speaking of which, this was the first time since his rebirth that he had actively interrupted his Meditation.

Yes, this was entirely because Luo Yan felt that after a month and a half of hard work, the mana he had accumulated was finally enough to cast the simplest first-tier magic!

Music~~ Fireworks~~ Confetti~~ Applause~~ Close the door~~ Release the… oh~~ forget that last part! It is discordant…

Alright, please forgive this person’s current nonsense. It was simply because he was truly too excited right now. He had been driven crazy by suppression during this period. If he had not experienced it personally, Luo Yan could not have imagined that having the title of a Wizard and remembering a belly full of magic, yet being unable to cast a single spell, could feel so miserable. No wonder people in the world regarded “stripping away one’s power” as a cruel punishment no less severe than public beheading.

Taking a deep breath, he finally controlled his emotions which were a bit too excited due to the thrill. Luo Yan raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with a grin… This was Luo Yan’s favorite casting posture from his previous life. He always felt that this posture was very cool and charming.

“Come forth~~ my warrior!”

This time, there was finally a response. Amidst the clear chanting, a streak of ghostly light flickered. In the next moment… a thin figure abruptly appeared in the room.

He had no choice but to be thin, because this guy had not a single shred of flesh on his entire body!

…

[Skeleton Summon]: First-tier magic, summoning type, upgradable skill. It can summon several skeletons. The specific number depends on the strength of the Wizard. After upgrading, the number and combat power of the summons increase.

…

Looking at the thin figure that had suddenly appeared in the room, Luo Yan was moved to tears. Even when he broke through to a level seven profession before his rebirth, he did not seem to have been this excited. Walking several circles around the large skeleton standing quietly in the room, Luo Yan looked at it as if it were a piece of art, unable to get enough of it.

Usually, skeletons looked very silly, but why did it look so handsome today?
