Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 14 Corrosion Phenomena

Leo opened the door and took the book from the lizardman.

Just as Leo was about to close the door, the lizardman servant said again, "Lord Danville, there's also this."

The lizardman handed over a badge, saying, "This is your identification in the Tower of Dawn."

This badge is a badge with a gray bottom edge and no pattern.

However, the badge contains the words "Esmond Assembly".

Leo took the badge, and at that moment, the badge changed.

The emblem's background color changed to silver, and above the Esmond Assembly text, a circle appeared, displaying the number seven within it.

The lizardman chuckled and explained, "Lord Danville, this number represents your 'dynamic ranking' among this year's wizarding buddies. And the color at the bottom represents your 'dynamic ranking tier' among this year's students."

"Those outside the top 100 are gray. Those within the top 100 are bronze. Those within the top 10 are silver. Those within the top 3 are gold."

The lizardman said, "Lord Danville, when you go out, try to wear your badge. Badges of lower ranks are not very useful, but silver badges like yours, Lord Danville, can sometimes avoid a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Leo nodded slightly.

After the lizardman left, Leo examined the badge and then put it on.

Back in his room, Leo placed the books the lizardmen had given him on the table.

The title of this book is: Introduction to Melee Wizarding

Leo opened the book, and after reading it, a gentle prompting voice appeared in his mind.

[Basic Physical Enhancement]

Quality: Inferior

Function: Utilizes mental energy to enhance cellular capabilities, resulting in a burst of power several times greater than one's physical abilities.

Cost: 100 Refinement Points

Superior Encyclopedia: Basic Spell Models

This book introduces the core ability of melee wizards: physical enhancement.

Melee wizards fight purely by using magic to enhance their physical combat abilities.

Strength, speed, and defense are the three main aspects that need to be enhanced.

Basic physical enhancement is the most fundamental spell.

However, this fighting style places strict demands on the physical body, so they require wizards to have a strong physique.

As a Pros, Leo is perfectly qualified in this regard.

Leo uses the encyclopedia to begin learning basic physical enhancement.

In an instant, Leo felt his strength, defense, and speed all temporarily enhanced.

When Leo swung his fist forward, the airflow he created even made the curtains in the room rustle.

Leo took a deep breath; his physical abilities had now been enhanced by about one to two times.

This is an extremely exaggerated number.

In particular, Leo is a Protoss.

However, Leo decisively dispelled the spell in about ten seconds.

When the debunking occurred, Leo's mental energy was severely depleted.

Melee wizards are also wizards.

Casting spells also requires mental energy.

Spells are techniques that are performed based on the spiritual energy of a wizard.

At Leo's current level, he still needs to continue to increase his mental energy in order to fully utilize the spell.

After resting for a while, Leo continued looking at the encyclopedia.

Upgrading the quality of the encyclopedia allows Leo to cast spells with reduced energy consumption while increasing their power.

If you want to improve your combat power when your mental energy is insufficient, you can also think about this aspect.

Although we are in a highly academic environment, this is the wizarding world, and wizards still need to prove their abilities.

Therefore, Leo believes that it is also very necessary to improve one's combat power while learning.

Some spells have materials that can assist in cultivation, and basic physical enhancement belongs to this category.

The book "Introduction to Melee Wizarding" mentions a potion called the Deadwood Potion.

Basic physical enhancement spells can be practiced in conjunction with the Withered Wood Potion.

The recipe for the deadwood potion is in the book; it's not hard to find.

"Withered grass and tree roots..."

After writing down the names of the herbs he needed, Leo said, "When we go to the market with Chris and the others tomorrow, we can ask about the prices of these medicinal herbs."

Leo only dabbled in the basic physical enhancement spell.

Leo spent more time on basic spell models and Arcane Hand.

Leo was very interested in the question Sally raised.

The next day

Inside Leo's room, his eyes gleamed, a fervent desire to explore the truth flickering within them.

"So that's how it is."

After a night of exploration, Leo finally glimpsed some secrets hidden within spiritual energy.

Leo reached out and gently touched the bed.

Unleash the Hand of Magic.

Instead of forming a longsword, he formed a glove.

When the glove touched the bed, the part that was touched became twisted and corroded.

Leo dispelled the spell and said, "This must be the secret behind Ryan's killing of that Prosman."

"Once spiritual energy is materialized, it can release a spiritual fluctuation that can corrode surrounding matter."

"That Prosman was killed by this corrosive mental fluctuation."

"and..."

Leo pondered for a moment and said, "Not only Ryan, but I'm afraid the physical abnormality that the powerful formal wizard we encountered before experienced when he made eye contact with him was also related to the effects of this mental fluctuation."

Sally was right not to tell Leo the reason directly.

If Leo had known the answer beforehand, he might not have been able to connect this corrosive phenomenon with the formal wizard he encountered at the time.

Leo had a sudden thought.

He put the magic gauntlet on himself again and then touched the bed.

This time, the magical hand did not cause any corrosion to the bed.

Leo said, "Once you understand the principle behind it, you can freely release this corrosive phenomenon at will."

"This is a dangerous world, yet one that compels us to uncover the reasons behind its phenomena."

With his harvest, Leo couldn't help but smile.

Afterwards, Leo packed his things, left the room, and went downstairs.

Chris and Jasmine waited at the door.

Chris was dressed like Leo, wearing a white robe with casual clothing underneath.

Jasmine wore a light blue dress underneath, with a shawl over it.

Both of them were wearing badges.

Chris has a bronze badge, while Jasmine has a gray badge.

Jasmine's gaze fell on Leo's badge, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Leo wisely avoided bringing up the topic of the badge, instead saying, "I'm not late, am I?"

"No, just in time," Chris said. "You always arrive right on time. No wonder your mental energy is so high, you're just too hardworking."

Leo smiled, unperturbed by Chris's teasing, and said, "Let's go."

The Tower of Dawn is located in Half Moon Strait.

Half Moon Strait is the junction of two continents, covering a vast area.

Esmond and the others' meeting place was located in the south, while the central area housed the formal wizards and the promising wizards with sixth-level mental talent whom they had chosen. The north side contained numerous research labs run by graduate students.
