The weekend had arrived.

These two days of rest were exceedingly important for the New Bloods who had just been through an intensely demanding practical examination.

As for Link, it didn’t matter whether he rested or not.

As long as his body was not fatigued, any mental or psychological exhaustion could be promptly alleviated with the “Mind Closure Technique”.

On Saturday morning, he unusually did not go directly to the library to study, but as planned, he went to purchase equipment in the living service building. Erick’s Self-Destructing Fire Thunder gave Link an inspiration.

Nobles are not innately different; they’re good at using things.

If he was able to consider purchasing a spell-breaking sleeve crossbow for self-defense, how could he not think of buying several high-explosive weapons like Self-Destructing Fire Thunder when he received the Magic Stone, or when buying a vest, boots, and cloak?

It was powerful, easy to carry, and simple to use.

What a perfect offensive weapon!

Might be two lifetimes of long peaceful living subconsciously reduced his aggressiveness.

He was only considering stealth, advancement, and defense, forgetting that the best defense is an offense.

As long as all the enemies were killed, wouldn’t everything be alright?

The impact of killing Erick had a significant influence on Link’s mindset.

A door had been pushed open.

After a long time of searching, Link finally spent seven standard first level Magic Stones.

Two Self-Destructing Fire Thunders cost him four Magic Stones;

A net gun, which cost one and a half Magic Stones, could shoot a three-meter diameter capture net, the net has magic prohibitive function, which could briefly eliminate the active magic power within its coverage;

Three incendiary bombs, cost him another one and a half Magic Stones, could generate magic flame to ignite extraordinary plants regardless of whether they are wet or dry.

The Self-Destructing Fire Thunder for firepower, the net gun for control, and the incendiary bombs for clearing out a wide area for a large scale attack.

The combination wasn’t perfect, however, funds were limited.

Further adjustments could be made at any time.

Upon returning to his dormitory, Link designed several usage plans for his abilities and equipment in different scenarios and practiced them one by one. During the process, he repeatedly fine-tuned the details, striving for perfection.

After a very long time, just about when he got a rough idea, Link ceased his activity.

After a brief rest, free from any tasks, Link contemplated the third level of “Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method”.

As a meditation technique suitable for Apprentices with affinity to both the Water Element and the Wood Element, “Water-Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method” is divided into four levels, each following the previous.

To complete the first level means to promote from the common state to a First Rank Wizard Apprentice, and the structure of the meditation method rune is an equilateral triangle;

To complete the second level means to promote from First Rank Wizard Apprentice to Second-rank wizard apprentices, the Meditation Technique rune structure is a hexagon together with its circumscribed circle;

The hexagon is formed by two inverted equilateral triangles;

To complete the third level, the Second-rank wizard apprentices promoted to Third-class wizard apprentice.

To complete the fourth level, you need to engrave your Destiny Witchcraft in the sea of consciousness and complete the life leap, allowing the Third-class wizard apprentice to promote to an Official Wizard (First Level Wizard).

Link was currently meditating daily using the second-level meditation method, growing and hammering out his spiritual power, preparing to study the third level.

The third level of the Meditation Technique requires the construction of nine runes, which considerably increases the difficulty compared to the first and second levels.

Out of those nine runes, six runes are placed at the six intersections of the upright and inverted equilateral triangles.

The three intersections on the left, from top to bottom, are labeled Lefti, Leftz, Lefts, and the three intersections on the right are labeled Righti, Righta ’ Rights.

The rune at Lefti is the Elemental Rune, “Water Element Accumulation”; the rune at Left2 is the Elemental Rune, “Water Element Amplification”; the rune at Lefts is the Elemental Rune, “Water Element Purity”;

The rune at Righti is the Elemental Rune, “Wood Element Accumulation”; the rune at Righta is the Elemental Rune, “Wood Element Amplification”; the’rune at Rights is the Elemental Rune, “Wood Element Extraction”.

Three other runes are located on the vertical line passing through the center of the circle circumscribing the hexagon.

From top to bottom, these are marked as Rune Alpha, Rune Beta, and Rune Gamma respectively.

Rune Beta, located at the center of the circumscribed circle of the hexagon, is the Will Rune “Sublimation”, which enhances the quality of one’s mental power, akin to transforming frivolous energy into buoyant energy or making iron evolve into steel/alloys.

The distance between Rune Alpha and Rune Beta is equal to the radius of the circumscribed circle of the hexagon and represents the Will Rune “Derivation”.

The distance between Rune Gamma and Rune Beta, also equal to the radius of the circumscribed circle, represents the Will Rune “Refining”.

Once all nine runes are successfully constructed, the third layer of “Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method” is completed.

Among these nine runes, the new ones are “Water Element Amplification,” “Wood Element Amplification,” and the Will Rune “Sublimation”.

Link had a thought: could he use the method of constructing magic blueprints to become familiar with the structure of these three runes in advance? Once he gathered enough mental power, he could directly construct the rune, thus saving time.

Considering the importance of the Sea of Consciousness, Link didn’t dare to attempt it recklessly.

He took out his handheld intelligent device and first searched for related clues on the “Forum”.

Regrettably, he found nothing.

Link then left the dormitory and headed towards the library.

In the reading room.

Link used his portable device to access the Advanced Literature Library, consulting the related literature on the Meditation Technique.

The history of the Wizard World is long, with Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College established nearly 1800 years ago. The exploration of the Meditation Technique has never stopped. There are countless results.

Pioneers had already attempted Link’s idea and conducted various experiments.

Link diligently read through each piece of literature connected to this idea, barring those for which he could only view indexes but not actual content. ’ It was incredibly enlightening!

Although Elemental Runes are general runes used in both Meditation Techniques and Magic Blueprints, there is an essential difference in the construction methods of these runes during meditation and casting (constructing a magic blueprint).

As is well-known, there are two types of Meditation Techniques: Deep Meditation and Shallow Meditation.

Shallow Meditation can only restore spent spiritual power and magic power. It can’t augment or refine spiritual power and magic power.

Deep Meditation is the only harmless way for wizard apprentices/wizards to grow and refine their spiritual and magic power.

The unique aspect of it lies in the particular state one enters when in deep meditation—a state of vague surreal mystification-when the formless spiritual power is most condensed.

If the Sea of Consciousness is likened to a stone tablet and the runes are seen

as characters and paintings,

Then,

Deep Meditation is akin to engraving-the characters and paintings are permanently etched onto the stone tablet,

Shallow Meditation is like sketching-it hues the carved strokes of the characters and paintings on the stone tablet,

Casting is like writing with a brush dipped in water on the stone tablet-once the water dries up, characters and paintings disappear.

Link could undoubtedly become familiar with the structure of the three unfamiliar runes by using the construction method of a magic blueprint.

Based on this, Link is reminded of his idea about further developing and using his unique Sea of Consciousness. (See Chapter 20).

He might be able to store the magic blueprint under the surface of the lake.

When he needs to cast a spell, he can move it to the surface to complete a transition from illusion to reality.

It s like how characters can be written or printed.

Thus, he can achieve an effect similar to releasing skills in a game.

When he needs to use a Witchcraft, he can simply touch to activate it; there is no need to construct a Magic Blueprint on the spot.

“This is promising!”

The more Link thought about it, the more excited he became.

If he succeeds, wouldn’t it mean that he could have several more Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft than others?
