"I call this the 'Crown of Stars'." Xuan Weizi raised his finger and pointed at the star map above his head. The stars were spinning around, seeming to resonate subtly with the stars in the sky. There were several spells ready to go, with varying degrees of spell fluctuations.
transmitted outward.
Wolf was surprised when he saw this. The "Doctor Olenso" he knew in the past had different spell fluctuations when casting spells than what he does now.
"That's strange. Doctor, aren't you a psychic?" Wolf asked, "Why do I feel like you are more like one of those mages now?"
Xuan Weizi clasped his hands and smiled: "You are very perceptive. I have indeed 'turned' myself into a mage."
Wolf just felt incredible: "Is this... is this the power of a psion?"
"Not really, even if the two are similar to a certain extent." Xuan Weizi said this, but he sighed in his heart: "It would be better to say that it was because my soul was drawn, and I sensed it by accident.
The astral world is resurrected in the psychic."
Most of the spellcasting ability in this world lies in the soul, and this also determines that becoming a spellcaster requires talent. As for how to play the role of the soul and how the soul interacts with things, it determines what kind of spellcasting school it is.
The practice of psychics to examine the mind and consciousness inward and exercise their spiritual abilities is similar to the alchemy monks' mental cultivation at lower levels. Xuan Weizi does not believe that it is necessary to manifest the soul in order to contact the star world. The psychics of this world
You should also have your own way of doing it.
However, the biggest difference between alchemy monks who start with sex skills and spiritual magicians is that alchemy monks regard nothingness as their sect and tranquility as their foundation. All thoughts, thoughts, feelings, and perceptions in their hearts must be put aside at all times in order to achieve the goal of "not thinking about external things."
"I can't think of anything within my body". However, in the end, these practices still allow the Yuan Shen to appear and then combine with Yuan Qi to cultivate both life and body, creating wonderful forms and spirits, not just strengthening the spirit and consciousness.
The psychic, on the other hand, pursues his own memory and the nature of memory through meditation, and through in-depth exploration of the spirit and consciousness, logically expresses existing knowledge to form psychic powers. The latter step is similar to the mage, focusing on cognition and
His logical calculation ability is very different from that of alchemy monks who focus on perception.
After the Xuanweizi Shen Qi is embraced, the Shen Qi can be activated to transform certain aspects of the brain and body. In this way, the "mental innovation" in psychic powers can be exerted. The Yuan Qi goes straight up the ladder to heaven and fills the Zifu Brain Palace.
The soul is connected with the arcane star map, forming this "crown of stars" and gaining the same arcane spellcasting ability as the mage.
So at this moment, Xuan Weizi briefly became a mage, and understood what the mage's arcane ability was all about.
The brilliance of the stars is combined into a huge and complex structure in a special and mysterious way. This is the arcane star map. It is like a big net covering the entire world, and its influence penetrates into every corner of the world.
A life, every soul, even lifeless dirt and gravel.
Theoretically speaking, every being with a soul in this world is actually connected to the Arcane Star Chart, but only by truly understanding the connection between one's own soul and the Arcane Star Chart can one have the ability to cast arcane spells.
Through logical learning and research, mages focus on the development of cognitive abilities to strengthen the connection between the soul and the arcane star map, thereby improving their own arcane abilities.
The Arcane Star Map is so grand, and the power it contains is far-reaching. It is as vast as the sea of stars. No wonder the mages regard the Arcane Star Map as so important. It is indeed their lifeblood.
The moment the Yuan Shen was connected with the Arcane Star Chart, Xuan Weizi also sensed that the connection between the two was very special, similar to the satellite orbit around the planet, and the "orbit" was more than one circle, and there were rings within it.
It is the arcane level.
Of course, Xuan Weizi cannot improve the arcane level through study and research like a mage. He only relies on his alchemy foundation to use the magical power of divine energy to change his physical and mental state. It is purely a trick.
The "Crown of Stars" is actually the phenomenon of activating the divine energy and the arcane star chart to react when the body and mind are transformed. At least it looks like the stars above the head and the silver light flowing are really quite bluffing.
Currently, in the "Crown of Stars", there are several spells transformed from psychic powers, namely "Dispel Magic", "Fireball" and "Flying".
Xuan Weizi reconciled the divine energy and saw that the "Crown of Stars" slowly disappeared, the "Mage Form" was released, and the spell fluctuations were also hidden. He turned his palm over and found several glass balls in his palm. He used the "Improved Starlight Cocoon" to
The spell just now was stored in the astral body. Whenever you want to use it, you can release the astral body and cast it. It is also considered a different kind of magic scroll.
"Okay, I will give you a 'thought shield', which may be able to withstand the mental impact of your violent transformation." Xuan Weizi raised his hand to draw a circle and said to Wolf: "I will combine it with
'Sensory Link' interconnection, I will face the impact beyond your rational endurance, so prepare to transform."
If it were before time travel, it would not be so easy for Xuan Weizi to solve the mania and mental disorder of others. At least he would have to have the power of telepathy, and that would also require extraordinary innate qualifications.
And Wolf took a few deep breaths aside. He did not need to take off his original clothes and just stretched his body on the spot. Xuan Weizi could already feel that Wolf was very nervous, his heart was beating violently, and he had all kinds of fears, uneasiness, anxiety and other thoughts.
emerged one after another.
However, at a deeper spiritual level, Wolf's consciousness has begun to focus on a certain state. He is recalling and pursuing. Like a beast in hunting, his consciousness begins to sink into blood, almost suffocating him.
But this time, the feeling of suffocation was not obvious. Xuan Weizi, with his eyebrows lowered, had already begun to help Wolf bear the mental impact caused by the violent transformation.
In front of Xuan Weizi, Wolf's skin visibly swelled and his bones creaked. The already tall Wolf's figure was still rising, and his thick hair grew rapidly. His chest, head and face were drastically deformed, and his eyes turned white.
After a while, when he focused his eyes again, he saw the eyes of a brown-yellow beast.
The entire transformation process only took two breathless efforts. A giant bear that was almost two people tall breathed billowing white air in the cold night. This giant bear could stand on the ground without any hesitation.
The arms are as thick as tree trunks, with rough hair standing on end. They are really bear paws as big as cattail fans, and their claws are as sharp as hooks.
Xuan Weizi raised his eyes and looked at the giant human bear, slightly dazed, then raised his hand to perform a "mental link" and said, "Can you talk now?"
Wolf's voice rang in his mind through the spiritual link: "Doctor Olenso! Sure enough! I'm still conscious! Hahahaha——"
"Stop laughing." Xuan Weizi pressed his forehead lightly and asked, "Besides, do you feel anything unusual?"
The giant bear man scratched his butt in a humanistic manner and said: "It's nothing, it just seems like I can't exert my strength and has become deformed, but I feel that the strength brought by the impulse in the past is gone."
"As expected." Xuan Weizi raised his hand and "dispelled the magic", but found that it had no effect on the giant bear, and said: "I probably understand, you can change back."
"Oh." Wolf responded obediently, and there was a sound of flesh and blood twisting. Wolf returned to his original appearance, with no damage to his clothes.
Xuan Weizi also breathed a sigh of relief and released the psychic power exerted on Wolf. He saw his knees softened and almost fell to the ground. He asked with a look of astonishment: "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"
?Didn’t you say you would help me bear the mental shock?”
"Yes, the feeling caused by fatigue is also part of the impact." Xuan Weizi said: "But your body is still tired. It's just that you didn't realize it until I removed the superpower. The body's self-protection mechanism was activated. Of course, it was the choice
about to rest."
Wolf sat on the ground, rubbing here and there. His whole body was sore and tired, and he felt uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect that a short-term transformation would have such serious sequelae." Xuan Weizi said thoughtfully: "But I also have a general understanding of the characteristics of violent transformation. Do you want to listen?"
"Of course." Wolf said.
Xuan Weizi originally thought that the abnormal object in Wolf's brain was the source of the violent transformation, but now it seems that there is actually a deviation. The power of violent transformation has been completely rooted in Wolf's life characteristics. This is through the use of drugs.
and the result of long-term transformation of spells. The abnormal objects in the brain are more like the triggers of firearms, responsible for pulling the trigger.
The process of violent transformation will indeed bring intense pain to Wolf. Xuan Weizi has already endured this once. If he had not had profound concentration, it would probably be unbearable. In order to resist the severe pain, the abnormality in Wolf's brain will emit
A large number of violent messages impact the consciousness, thus covering up the real pain.
However, in addition to covering up the pain, this violent message is also used to deeply activate the vitality in Wolf's body, which not only greatly improves his strength, reaction, and speed, but also has good energy resistance and natural armor, and these effects
Even the violent transformation cannot be lifted.
"The sages of the Emerald Ring are quite powerful. They can actually develop this kind of technology." Xuan Weizi praised: "Using drugs and spells to transform the body and completely change the form of life. This is really a rebirth."
"I don't understand." Wolf said with a question mark on his face.
Xuan Weizi said: "What I mean is, it is impossible for you to change back to an ordinary person. Your life state has undergone an irreversible change, just like making logs into furniture, how can it be possible to turn the furniture back into logs? The recovery of the mage
Even magic can’t do it!”
"Then what should I do?" Wolf said: "Actually, I don't expect to become an ordinary person again, it just makes me suffer less. In case of a fight in the future, I can scare people after violent transformation.
"
Xuan Weizi played with the glass beads in the palm of his hand and said: "The furniture can't be turned back into logs, but it doesn't say it can't be reprocessed. Maybe I can make a magic item for you to contain the mental shock, but in this way, the violent transformation will be impossible."
The effect is not obvious. By curbing the rage, it also curbs the activation of vitality."
Wolf asked: "Does that mean you can't have the best of both worlds?"
"Why don't you think about it differently." Xuan Weizi stood up and took two steps. "Violent transformation is originally a trick, but why should we focus on transformation instead of pursuing the activation of vitality alone?"
"Is this really possible?" Wolf obviously didn't quite understand.
"I said, the power of violent transformation has taken root in your body, and now it's like taking out only part of it from the box."
Think about it for a while."
…
Having said that, it is a pity that time waits for no one. Two days later in the evening, the natives began to gather in large numbers at Chaidui Town, hiding in the forest and watching for opportunities.
Xuanweizi had already detected the movements of the natives in advance through the bird scouts, so he notified Wolf and Sir Salemi, asking them to send people to prepare, but pretend to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, waiting for the natives to take the initiative to attack.
When it got completely dark, more than thirty indigenous people acted as the vanguard, using the darkness as cover, and silently approached Chaidui Town. They were armed with bows and arrows, preparing to come close and snipe the town guards on the wall, and cleverly avoided them.
All the traps dug in advance were discovered.
Xuan Weizi sat in his stone hut with a map spread out in front of him. Red and blue light spots were scattered inside and outside the town on the map to identify ourselves and the enemy.
Xuan Weizi tapped the ground lightly. Outside the hut, at the position of the wall closest to the indigenous people, a "control sound" sounded in the air, creating a rapid ringing sound. In an instant, dozens of torches emerged from behind the wall, vaguely illuminating the
More than thirty indigenous strikers.
The two sides noticed each other, and there was a burst of arrows piercing the air. They shot arrows at each other from inside and outside the wall. Although the townspeople's vision was not clear enough, they were better off because of the wall's cover. The hunters gathered together and fired arrows, shooting down several natives at once.
However, there are also masters among the indigenous people. A few of them fired arrows while retreating. The arrows flashed away in the night sky and hit a hunter directly on the head. The arrow penetrated the skull. The power was evident!
At this time, another Xuan Weizi appeared on the wall, which was his astral clone. He waved his arm and flew out a glass bead. The astral barrier continued to collapse. The fireball technique in it was automatically cast, and a fireball crashed into the wall.
The aboriginal room has not dispersed.
boom--
The blazing orange fireball exploded on the ground, and several indigenous people were blown to pieces on the spot. The high-temperature flames clung to the bodies of the injured, causing them to roll on the ground and scream. The indigenous companions were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward to rescue them.
"Oh? This bark armor is really good." Xuan Weizi noticed that the masters among the indigenous people were not hurt even when they were surrounded by flames. They were obviously wearing the bark armor made by Tu Randi before.
Armor, this special enchanted armor, has significant resistance to the fire element.
A few natives shouted in their native language, causing everyone to scatter and run away. They ran very fast and fled into the darkness in a blink of an eye. The hunters couldn't find the target even if they tried to fire arrows.
But not long after, the sound of horns came from the direction of the forest, followed immediately by the screams and roars of the indigenous people. Xuanweizi looked at the light spots on the map. More than 300 indigenous people divided into several columns and headed towards the west wall of Chai Dui Town.
approaching.
These light spots are projected by Xuan Weizi's "Detect Life". With the activation of Yuanshen, he can control all the people around Chaidui Town. And among these more than 300 light spots, Xuan Weizi also noticed
More than a dozen non-human beings, and even an extremely powerful life form.
"Is it that magical beast guarding the ruins? Did you call it all?" Xuan Weizi snorted coldly and asked the clone to shout: "Sheriff, are you not ready yet?"
There are three main characters in Chaidui Town. Xuan Weizi himself is sitting in the center and looking at the overall situation. His astral clone goes up to the wall to participate in the battle. Wolf is also waiting on the wall with two logging axes. Sir Salemi is in the town.
In the open space above, he knelt down on one knee with his sword in his hand and prayed from before the battle until now.
Hearing Xuan Weizi's shouting, Sir Salemi showed no sign. He still knelt down and lowered his head, holding the hilt of his sword with both hands, praying in a low voice. But in Xuanweizi's view, Sir Salemi's aura was constantly expanding, faintly
About a phantom with a similar face to Sir Salemi appeared, and the soul sensed a vast light and majesty in the world.
The phantoms descended, and Sir Salemi's body suddenly shone with light - a dazzling light visible to the naked eye. As the light gradually faded, he saw the golden light flowing from Sir Salemi's plate armor, and the sword in his hand seemed to have grown a bit longer.
It turned into a heavy sword with both hands, and the bright flames on the sword shone brightly, making the surrounding area white.
"Ready!" Sir Salemi, who was already in heavy armor, stamped his foot, like an arrow from the string, crossed a distance of forty or fifty feet, came to the wall in one step, raised his sword and shouted:
