  Chapter 10 Mastery (Thanks to the leader of Pudding Wumao!)

  "Bang!"

  With a muffled sound, a cloud of white dust rose in the tree house.

  Ronan strolled out in the thick smoke and dust, brushing off the stone dust on his robe with an expressionless face.

  Apparently, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

  "Failed again!"

  Ronan waited until the smoke and dust in the hut cleared, walked in, and looked at the only three blank rune stones left on the makeshift workbench. The corner of his eye twitched slightly.

  At this time, almost a month had passed since he started studying rune engraving.

  Three days ago, he began to formally try to engrave the [Clean] rune on blank rune stones. As a result, he engraved and destroyed seventeen blank rune stones in a row and still failed.

  "It's just a little bit short."

  Ronan thought back to the failed experience just now. He had almost completed 97% of the rune engraving, and the entire [Clean] rune was already on the stone. In the end, he failed because he couldn't control the last few cuts well.

  The energy particles even ran wild and out of control, causing the entire rune stone to explode.

  "After all, my strength is a little lacking. At the end, I felt that I couldn't keep up with the mental and physical strength."

  Ronan dipped a towel in water and patted it on his face, wiping the fatigue from between his brows and analyzing the reasons for his failure.

  Rune engraving is an extremely energy-consuming task, because the entire process requires the guidance of mental energy. You must concentrate fully and complete it in one go without any pause in the middle.

  Ronan, now a second-level wizard apprentice, used his mental power to engrave the [Cleansing] rune. By the end of the engraving, his mental power was exhausted, his condition declined, and he was no longer able to continue.

  "In fact, my progress is already quite fast. Most wizards probably haven't even mastered the skill by now."

  The capabilities of the panel did not disappoint Ronan after all, and the entire rune research process went very smoothly.

  Whether it was copying practice or carving practice, he made rapid progress. After officially getting started with the rune stone, he could gain a lot of new insights and experience after each failure.

  During the first seventeen attempts, his progress was almost visible to the naked eye.

  Every time you fail, your progress next time will be greatly advanced.

  On the sixteenth attempt, Ronan reached 95% and thought he would be completely successful this time, but he still fell a little short.

  "There is no difference between being almost successful and being very close to success for me, because I only have so many materials. If I still can't succeed after using up the remaining three blank rune stones, I can only consider borrowing money or selling my belongings."

  Ronan sighed and called up his character panel.

  [Name: Ronan Damien]

  Age: 16

  [Talent: No attribute affinity]

  [Strength: Level 2 Wizard Apprentice (13%)]

  [Skill: Basic Meditation (Proficiency 156/200)

  Energy Missile (Mastery 334/400)

  Charged Weapons (68/100 for beginners)]

  In just one month, all abilities have improved.

  The mental strength did not increase much, and the progress of the second-level wizard apprentice only advanced by 10%.

  At this rate, Ronan could be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice in nine months.

  Of course, the time may be shortened, because Ronan's proficiency in [Basic Meditation] has been improving, and the effect of each meditation is getting better and better.

  Ronan had practiced [Energy Missile] to a level of proficiency above familiarity, and the casting speed increased again.  

  Now Ronan only needs to recite a few syllables of the spell and use simple gestures to successfully release it. The total casting time has been compressed to within three seconds, and the power of [Energy Missile] has also been slightly improved.

  In order to enrich his attack methods, Ronan also learned the [Charged Weapons] among the five zero-level spells.

  The function of this spell is to add a temporary enchantment effect to the weapon, which is actually a thin layer of energy particles. Every time the "charged" weapon collides with an object, the energy particles attached to the weapon will be consumed, causing a killing effect similar to an explosion.

  Ronan is not good at close combat and is not very interested in this skill. He has practiced it casually and is only at the entry level now.

  "Bang!"

  Ronan casually threw the wet towel into the basin, splashing water, and stood up, "Let's go out for a walk."

  It was quite tiring to stay in the house all the time to study rune engraving. On the one hand, it was mentally exhausting, and on the other hand, the small tree house was damp and stuffy. Ronan's butt was sore from sitting, and it was not good for his health.

  Falling down along the long vine, Ronan coughed twice and felt a dull pain in his left chest.

  Due to long-term and high-frequency meditation activities, the energy particles were increasingly corroding the lungs, and Ronan was already feeling the effects.

  "Knight's Training Method Knight's Training Method... If it doesn't work, write back and ask the Earl's people to send a few copies. But you have to wait for a year or two."

  Ronan thought about it and walked into the woods in front of him wearing hunting clothes.

  The light in the quiet forest is dim, and there seems to be a thin layer of mist lingering in the woods all year round.

  Strange-shaped trees grew wildly everywhere, and underfoot was a thick layer of rotten leaves and moss.

  "Rustle!"

  There was a slight sound beside his ear, and Ronan's mental power, which had shrunken into a ball in his mind, quickly expanded. He locked onto the direction of the sound and uttered a short, rapid sound.

  "Woo! Lu! Ba!"

  He pointed his finger randomly, and the air in front of him quickly twisted.

  A fist-sized, dark blue ball of light quickly condensed and then shot out.

  "boom!"

  A bush about ten meters in front of Ronan suddenly exploded, dirt and grass flew everywhere, and a sturdy oak tree slowly fell down.

  Ronan walked over slowly and calmly, and found a bloody mess in a huge mud pit.

  Judging from the few furs remaining on the wall of the pit, the one who made the noise just now should have been an unlucky wolf.

  "The wizard is truly extraordinary, and his spells are so powerful"

  Ronan sighed as he looked at his "masterpiece" in front of him.

  In the secular world, if an ordinary person wants to cause such destructive power, he must practice the way of chivalry to a very high level, and this is just the effect of a low-level spell of order zero.

  The excellence of this group of wizards is evident from this.

  Ronan is now much calmer and more confident in the forests of this area than before, especially after he has mastered the [Energy Missile]. He feels that he is qualified to fight even against a third-level apprentice.

  His spellcasting speed is much faster than that of the average low-level apprentice wizard, and the power of the [Energy Missile] at the mastery level is probably two or three times greater than that at the entry level.

  Of course, the so-called combat power assessment was just Ronan's own one-sided guess. He had never fought with other wizards and had no idea what the battle between wizards was like.

  Coupled with the existence of magic props, there are too many uncertainties in a battle.

  Ronan continued to move forward along his usual morning jogging route. The fresh air among the trees and the quiet and beautiful environment gradually soothed his tired soul.

  When they reached a tree spring, Ronan squatted down and washed his hands and face, feeling refreshed.

  Thanks to my good brother Pudding Wumao for being the leader~~
