  Chapter 6 Level 2

  Seeing the panel, Ronan's spirits were slightly lifted.

  The effects of high-intensity meditation are still significant.

  His mental strength increased by two percent, bringing him closer to the level of a second-level apprentice.

  The word "Energy Missile" appears in the skill column, and the proficiency has reached (entry level 14/100).

  "It feels great to see tangible rewards for your hard work."

  Ronan couldn't help but sigh.

  Now lying on the bed, emptying his mind and body, and reviewing today's hard training, Ronan slowly noticed something strange.

  He felt that his practice of [Energy Missile] was going too smoothly.

  According to the memory of my predecessor, it was normal for many novice wizards to spend several weeks or even a month to successfully master their first zero-level spell.

  And I did it in just one day.

  This is without any guidance and I have to rely on my own exploration.

  "Am I a one in a million genius in learning magic?!"

  Ronan shook his head, thought about it, and felt that the reason might be attributed to the panel.

  This character panel seemed to have some magical effect that could "solidify" every bit of his progress.

  In the process of practicing [Energy Missile], he almost truly achieved it, and he would never make the same mistake again after making it once.

  This becomes more and more obvious after getting started with [Energy Missile].

  Every time he finished casting a spell, some fragmentary insights would naturally arise from the bottom of his heart, becoming nourishment for him to cast a better spell next time.

  The same is true with meditation.

  The time Ronan spent in meditation state became shorter and shorter, and the effect of meditation also improved significantly.

  "If it's what I thought, then I'll be awesome."

  Ronan murmured as he lay in bed.

  There was no light, and moonlight shone in from the window.

  He looked at the dark roof and felt sleepiness rising like the tide, and fell asleep unknowingly.

  Ronan was too tired. After all, he couldn't completely replace sleep with meditation now.

  In the following days, Ronan began to be completely self-disciplined.

  I get up early every day for morning exercises, then practice spells and meditation, and exercise for two hours in the afternoon, and this continues until late at night.

  The natural sleep time per day is less than four hours.

  Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

  "Woo-lu, Bazi-damu!"

  A low spell was chanted in the quiet oak forest.

  The air flow in the forest suddenly changed, and a small, mottled ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball suddenly appeared and quickly sank into a bush.

  "Bang!"

  There was a loud explosion, and something seemed to wail.

  Accompanied by countless broken leaves and flying dirt, the bushes were immediately cleared away, leaving only a mess on the ground.

  "Um?!"

  In the distance, Ronan, who had just released an [Energy Missile], had a strange expression on his face, lowered his head, and seemed to be thinking about something.

  "When I cast the spell just now, I shortened two syllables and used fewer hand gestures. But it still worked."

  Ronan clicked on his character panel.

  Sure enough, on the skill bar of the panel, the skill icon of [Energy Missile] changed from the entry-level wording to (Proficient 1/200).

  "The skill proficiency level has been increased?!"

  Ronan was happy, but not surprised.

  The proficiency of [Energy Missile] has been stuck at (entry level 99/100) for a day or two, so this upgrade is a natural result.

  "After my proficiency improved, the spell syllables and gestures were simplified, and the casting time was shortened by several seconds."

  After becoming proficient in [Energy Missile], Ronan felt that his understanding of this spell had become much more profound.

  The essence of casting a spell is actually the use of mental force to drive the resonance of energy particles. Whether it is a spell or a gesture, it is just a way to help achieve resonance better.

  If Ronan could one day fully master the rhythm of this resonance, it would not be impossible for him to directly skip the lengthy spells and cumbersome gestures and cast spells instantly.

  "After the upgrade, the skill casting time has been shortened to about seven to eight seconds, which is much faster than at the beginning, but the casting time is still long.

  If you are fighting against a melee profession, this gap is enough for others to launch several attacks."

  Ronan shook his head and walked towards the point where the [Energy Missile] had just landed.

  Where the [energy missile] hit, there was a large pit two meters wide and half a meter deep.  

  Lying in the pit was a bloody wild elk that was no longer in its entirety.

  Ronan squatted down, pulled out the dagger he carried with him from his waist, and began to cut some edible parts from the dead elk.

  After successfully mastering the means of attack, he was finally able to carry out some simple hunting activities in a small area around him, and meat dishes finally appeared on his daily menu.

  Compared with the [Energy Missiles] released at the beginning, the [Energy Missiles] launched by Ronan now are much greater in both speed and power.

  Part of the reason is the increase in the skill level of [Energy Missile].

  Another reason.

  Just a few days ago, Ronan successfully advanced to the level of a second-level wizard apprentice!

  [Name: Ronan Damien]

  Age: 16

  [Talent: No attribute affinity]

  [Strength: Level 2 Wizard Apprentice (3%)]

  [Skill: Basic Meditation (Entry Level 87/100)

  Energy Missile (Proficient 1/200)]

  After being promoted to level two, Ronan's mental power increased significantly. Now his total mental power is enough for him to release four [Energy Missiles] in a row with some left over.

  If this trend continues, his proficiency in [Energy Missile] will increase faster and faster, his mental energy will be depleted, and the number of times he needs to meditate will increase like a snowball. He has unknowingly embarked on his own fast track of cultivation.

  "Energy particles are eroding the body faster."

  Ronan frowned and subconsciously reached out to touch his chest.

  Through physical exercise and improved diet during this period, his physical fitness improved a lot and his complexion gradually improved. However, the dull pain in his chest every morning when he woke up did not disappear, but instead felt worse.

  Ronan felt that his lungs might have been damaged by erosion.

  "I have to find a way to stop this. The benefits of my training are too low. It would be great if I could get a knight training method. It would be better than me training blindly like this."

  Ronan recalled that when his predecessor was in his own earldom, he had many knights under his command.

  The most common characteristic of these knights is their strong physique, far beyond that of ordinary people.

  It's a pity that my predecessor didn't practice with me at that time.

  Thinking of this, Ronan put away the dagger.

  He stood up and walked towards home carrying the freshly cut venison.

  After he had taken a few steps, the grass and trees in front of him swayed, and a sound of light footsteps came towards him.

  Ronan narrowed his eyes, stopped quietly, and curled his tongue in his mouth, ready to chant a spell at any time.

  A few seconds later, a figure appeared in his sight.

  He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark green robe and holding a black kettle in his hand.

  He was visibly startled when he saw Ronan.

  But soon, his face calmed down.

  His eyes swept across Ronan, lingered briefly on the venison dripping with blood in Ronan's hand, then he moved aside a little and walked towards him quickly with an expressionless face.

  Until the two passed each other, neither Ronan nor the middle-aged wizard spoke.

  "call--"

  Watching the middle-aged wizard's disappearing back, Ronan let out a sigh of relief, feeling quite satisfied with his performance.

  Compared with half a month ago, he no longer runs away like a frightened rabbit at the slightest sign of trouble.

  He gained courage.

  It was given by the strength of a second-level wizard apprentice and the zero-level spell [Energy Missile].

  In fact, Ronan also discovered that the "real" tree house area was not as scary as he had imagined.

  Although the tree house area is located in the wild, most of the wizards who choose to live here are like him, low-level wizard apprentices with low strength who cannot afford the magic stones needed to live in the town.

  He is afraid.

  Others might be more afraid than he is.

  Most wizards value their lives very much and will actively avoid conflicts, except for some mentally ill desperadoes.

  During the past half month, as the scope of his morning exercises expanded, Ronan gradually got to know several "neighbors" living near his home.

  I have met several of them before, and the middle-aged wizard I just met is one of them.
