Chapter 137: Enlightenment of the Tree Man and the Vine Boxer (Two Weeks)

On the laboratory workbench is a small five-year-old apple tree potted plant. This potted plant has been specially treated so that it will only grow to the height of a child and will not grow taller. It looks very small and exquisite.

There are some bright red apples hanging on this apple tree, which looks like some small red lanterns. This apple tree potted plant is called [Aiden Twig].

It is the best magical plant for first-class wizard apprentices to practice a very complex spell model [Enlighten the Treeman].

Enlightening tree people was originally something that only a first-ring wizard, with a sub-direction in plant magic from the School of Life, could do.

But by using the simplified [Enlightened Treeman] and the special matching magic plant [Eden Branch], this can be achieved at the first-class wizard apprentice stage.

Being able to do this is extremely important, as it can maximize the wizard’s understanding of first-level spells.

If a first-class wizard apprentice wants to become a formal wizard, he not only needs to meet the mental strength requirements, but also has to have a corresponding understanding of the first-level botanical spells and be able to construct the first first-level spell of his own.

In a sense, all the cantrip models that a wizard apprentice learns before the first-level spell are preparations for his first first-level spell.

As Locke chanted the spell, 89 Ogham characters flashed across Aiden Twig’s body.

Then the apple tree, like a child, slowly crawled out of the flower pot. During this process, facial features gradually emerged on its trunk, and its movements became more and more flexible.

But just as the little apple tree man crawled out of the pot and placed its roots on the operating table, at least nine ogham characters on the surface of the apple tree suddenly flashed, and then the entire spell model quickly collapsed.

The [Aiden Twig] seemed to be under a huge pressure, and the trunk of the tree made “crackling” and “crackling” sounds. It quickly degenerated and returned from the prototype of a tree man to an ordinary tree.

Then, cracks appeared on its skin and some branches broke.

Locke’s eyes remained unchanged. He was not surprised by this situation. The enchanting tree man was the magic model that Witch Sophia asked him to learn specifically two weeks ago.

Witch Sophia believed that this would be of great benefit to her understanding of first-level spells.

The greatest gain from learning this spell is not that you gain an extra powerful spell power, but that it will assist you in your future path.

Therefore, he spent one hundred magic stones to buy an [Aiden Twig] apple potted plant, and spent another five hundred magic stones to sign up for this course in the public classroom. Whenever he had any difficulty understanding something, he would ask Witch Sophia for help.

After two weeks of study, this was his first attempt, but he failed.

“My mana is still not enough to transform ordinary magical plants into tree people. This is the first reason for failure.” Locke pondered. “The second reason for failure is that the 89 Ogham tree characters are too complex. This led to a deviation in my understanding. There was a problem with the spell model from the beginning.”

“When the magic power is in operation, there are even more mistakes and omissions.” Locke thought: “But it doesn’t matter, failure is only temporary, I can continue to learn slowly.”

“The plantation has already started delivering the second batch of Crystal Palm Fire Lotuses.” Locke thought, “Perhaps the academy will sign another centralized procurement contract with me in the near future.”

“As long as I have enough resources, I can buy more [Eden Twigs]. As long as I have enough training materials, I won’t be slow in learning the spell model of Enchanting the Treant.”

His qualifications had already been raised by one level because of the Blood-Weeping Nightshade, and the Deep Blue Diamond had also increased his mana stability and accuracy, and combined with the memory ointment, it had increased his learning speed, so as long as he was willing to spend money and invest a lot of resources.

The speed at which I learn this spell is probably not slower than those elemental children.

Locke looked at the Aiden branch, which was already half destroyed, and said, “We should be able to try it two or three more times. It seems like another big expense, but it has to be spent.”

“Learning to enlighten tree people can enhance my understanding of plant magic.”

Locke looked at the three ominous mandrake vines wrapped around his right hand. After his mana doubled, he naturally had to learn more spells and more powerful spell models to convert this increased mana into his actual combat power.

During these two weeks, I successfully outlined a 40-Ogham tree 0.7-ring trick model [Vine Boxing].

This is the second spell in the Vine Frenzy series.

Locke recited a spell softly, and the three mandrake vines in his right hand each split into five branches. The ends of these five branches curled up and formed a fist outlined by vines.

Immediately afterwards, these fifteen vine fists bombarded the air of the laboratory like raindrops, and the sound of breaking through the air became louder and louder.

After about three minutes, the spell stopped.

Locke watched the scene with satisfaction.

The spell Vine Fist allows the three Ominous Mandrake vines to form a special attack method, creating a physical attack like a storm on the enemy in an instant.

The Vine Frenzy series also has three spells, namely [Vine Stab], [Vine Whip], and [Vine Strangulation].

Including the vine punch that Locke is using now, plus the multiple manipulations before, these are all the spells in the Vine Frenzy series.

These four spells are all level 0.5 and do not require special classes to learn. Moreover, the four are very similar. Once you learn one, you will quickly master how to use the others.

By combining the five spells, you can use a powerful vine spell to trap the enemy in continuous and intensive attacks.

At the same time, the poison berry ejection from the previous Vine Hand series still has some value and can be mixed in for use.

This set of combined attacks is a standard spell used by a first-class wizard apprentice in the sub-field of plant magic.

At this time, Locke temporarily put aside learning spells and went to Sophia’s office.

In Sophia’s office.

Locke asked Sophia, “Teacher, are you looking for me?”

Witch Sophia nodded and asked, “Locke, how is your memory ointment doing recently? I see you seem to have used it on a third-class wizard apprentice.”

Locke raised his lips and said, “Teacher, the situation is very good. The third-class wizard apprentice is named Pierre. After using my memory ointment, his memory performance has increased by about 50%.”

“His learning progress in public classes has improved significantly, as evidenced by his recent academic performance. I’ve also arranged for my assistant, Terry, to conduct daily cognitive and memory tests on him, and we’ve discovered a dramatic improvement in his memory, and his learning speed has accelerated significantly.”

“Because of the effect of the memory ointment, he is now almost becoming a second-class wizard apprentice. I predict that he should become a second-class wizard apprentice in half a year.”

Locke added: “However, he originally had a level 4 qualification, so it’s normal for him to become a second-level wizard apprentice in about three years.”

“But the memory ointment undoubtedly played a catalytic role in this.”

Witch Sophia was a bit surprised. “Fifty percent? Well, that’s a little more effective than I expected. But just keep in mind that your ointment generally doesn’t cause any experimental accidents.”

“Remember to record any side effects. In particular, don’t miss any symptoms that appear unrelated to the experiment; they may be indirect reactions caused by the experiment.”

Sophia shared her experience and said, “I called you here to talk to you about the breeder certification exam you signed up for last week.”

Sophia’s expression was a bit strange. “To be honest with you, for some reason, I have a bad relationship with this year’s examiner. If you take the exam this year, you will most likely fail.”

“So, are you still going to participate?”
