Chapter 101: [Blessing]

Gao De was also very curious.

Because his situation was special.

First of all, he possessed a knowledge system that this world did not have, and secondly, in terms of spell mastery, he was extremely "broad."

Then, according to what Ma Qieyi said, if he successfully promoted to a Rank 1 magic user, he should be able to awaken a relatively outstanding specialty.

However, Gao De only had these thoughts flash through his mind, and he quickly withdrew his mind and mocked himself.

He was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from a Rank 1 magic user, yet he started fantasizing about Rank 1 magic user matters.

Aiming too high!

"Then those of us who only practice apprentice guidance methods and apprentice meditation techniques, if we are really lucky enough to be promoted to Rank 1 magic users, awakening specialties will also be very disadvantageous," someone else sighed.

Gao De also nodded in deep agreement.

This was the so-called "one step slow, every step slow."

"You don't have to worry about this. When awakening specialties upon promotion to Rank 1 magic user, what pulls apart the gap is often the magic user's own knowledge and mastered spells," Ma Qieyi laughed upon hearing this.

"Because apprentice guidance methods and apprentice meditation techniques are already among the best guidance methods and meditation techniques at the apprentice stage."

"If the practice techniques for laying the foundation were not almost perfect, how could they be spread so widely?"

"However, apprentice guidance methods and apprentice meditation techniques can only be practiced at the apprentice stage. Once promoted to a Rank 1 magic user, one must re-select practice techniques. This is when the gap in practice techniques will be pulled apart."

Ma Qieyi's words sounded a bit strange at first, but in fact, they were easy to understand after careful thought.

It was like in his previous life, textbooks for general education were often written after being revised and screened by a group of people round after round.

And knowledge at a truly advanced stage was a mix of fish and dragons, without unified standard textbooks.

Therefore, one must enter the Sairisi Magic User Academy as early as possible... otherwise, as a wild magic user, not to mention whether one could be promoted to a Rank 1 magic user, the choice of practice techniques after a successful promotion would also be a big problem, because there was simply no choice.

Gao De thought secretly in his heart.

"Can specialties be revealed?" the magic apprentice next to Gao De asked curiously.

Ma Qieyi shook his head, "Of course not, especially for combat magic users; specialties are things that are even more top-secret than spells."

"After all, as long as spells are cast, it is inevitable to be exposed, but if a specialty is not spoken of by the magic user themselves, who can accurately say the specific effect?"

"Careful, prepare for battle!" Just at this moment, Ma Qieyi, who was still chatting and laughing with everyone a moment ago, had his face suddenly become solemn.

Gao De immediately realized the approach of danger and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

Screech! Screech! Just as Ma Qieyi's voice fell, sharp and ear-piercing chirping sounds had already sounded.

From a towering tree in the nearby dense forest, a group of Earth Magic Bats suddenly flapped their wings and flew out, pouncing toward their team.

The number was twelve.

But the reason why Ma Qieyi's face was so serious was not because of the number.

It was because of the leader of this group of Earth Magic Bats: a huge Earth Magic Bat.

This Earth Magic Bat even had two existences similar to feet.

Looking from afar, it was like a wingless, hairless dwarf, and its body looked as hard as rock.

Without a doubt, this was a genuine Rank 1 ley line creature! This was the first Rank 1 ley line creature their small team had encountered in these days.

"Leave the Rank 1 to me, the others will have to rely on yourselves!" Ma Qieyi instantly entered a combat state, and as the leader of the team, he immediately gave instructions in an unquestionable tone.

Before the words fell, he had already mobilized mana, and amidst the changes in gestures, strong magic fluctuations gathered in his palms, turning into a soft and warm light.

This light presented a golden color, conveying a sense of holiness and blessing.

"Blessing!" Ma Qieyi said in a low voice, and this golden light instantly split into three, accurately falling on himself, Gao De, and another magic apprentice who had mastered lightning cantrips.

The moment Gao De was hit by this light, a holy cross symbol appeared on his body.

However, the existence time of this symbol was very short, flashing and disappearing.

Subsequently, a soft and solemn chanting sound echoed in Gao De's ears, but like the cross symbol, it also flashed and disappeared.

An unprecedented power and courage surged from his body.

"I have blessed you two with the Rank 1 spell 【Blessing】. In the next minute, your spell attacks and spell defenses will possess stronger power, seize the time!" Ma Qieyi reminded the two while casting the next spell.

After these five days, he also saw that in terms of combat, the highest quality in the entire team was Gao De and the magic apprentice who had mastered lightning cantrips.

So his choice of target for 【Blessing】 was also very particular, which was an recognition of the two.

The next instant, light flashed in Ma Qieyi's palms again. Three flashing darts condensed and were thrown out, breaking through the sky like three missiles, blasting toward the huge Earth Magic Bat leader.

【Magic Missile】.

And that huge Earth Magic Bat clearly felt the threat of the magic missiles after being blessed with 【Blessing】.

It let out a deafening roar, hovered in the air, and spat forward with its mouth, and cone-shaped gravel was sprayed out by it.

That overwhelming gravel directly covered all three magic missiles.

After a fierce explosion, the gravel all turned into powder and scattered, but the three magic missiles also exhausted their power and dissipated.

On this side, Gao De also quickly adjusted his breathing and entered a combat state.

His fingers jumped lightly, and scorching energy had already risen.

【Fire Arrow+】! With his low shout, a beam of burning fire shot out.

The arrow of fire was like an arrow leaving the string, breaking through the air, carrying raging flames toward the Earth Magic Bat swarm.

Where the spell passed, the air seemed to be ignited, leaving a long tail of fire, and the power was visibly much stronger.

The Rank 0 Earth Magic Bat that Gao De regarded as a target made the same reaction as the Rank 1 Earth Magic Bat leader.

It spat forward, spitting out cone-shaped gravel to block the path of the fire arrow.

Attempting to use it to block and offset the power of the fire arrow.

But some things, the boss could do, but it could not.

The fire arrow cast after being blessed by 【Blessing】 did not reach the Rank 1 spell level, but it exceeded the cantrip level.

If one had to describe it accurately, it was a Rank 0.5 spell! The fierce fire directly blasted open the cone-shaped gravel, then continued forward, accurately hitting the Earth Magic Bat that was hovering in place.

Boom! In an instant, a roaring sound rang out, and this Earth Magic Bat let out a shrill scream, its entire body swallowed by raging flames, rolling and falling from mid-air, hitting the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, a flash of shock and unprecedented refreshment flashed in Gao De's eyes.

Is this the feeling of a "big shot" leading the grinding of monsters? Under the blessing of the Rank 1 spell 【Blessing】, the power of his 【Fire Arrow+】 soared, actually being able to kill a Rank 0 ley line creature in one hit.

However, refreshing was refreshing, but Gao De did not relax his vigilance because of this.

He knew that this battle was far from over.

While other magic apprentices in the team were casting spells to attack, Gao De's heart moved, and a layer of gray light flashed across his skin.

【Blade Protection+】.

After using this short time gap to bless himself with a defensive spell, Gao De, who had more confidence, took action again.

He aimed at another Earth Magic Bat again.

At this time, it was hovering flexibly and cunningly in the air, constantly dodging the spell attacks of the apprentices.

Gao De took action fiercely!

It was still 【Fire Arrow+】.

But this time, the Earth Magic Bat he aimed at as a target was not like the previous Earth Magic Bat.

Facing the fire arrow that shot violently, it did not overestimate itself and resist hard, but circled in the air, actually dodging this beam of fire arrow by a coincidence.

As a small flying ley line creature, agility was its specialty.

And simple linear attacks, at a sufficient distance, were indeed very easy to be avoided by these abnormally agile flying creatures.

Seeing that it dodged Gao De's spell attack, this Earth Magic Bat let out a sharp chirping, as if proud, and as if provoking.

Boom! The intense roaring sound turned its sharp chirping into a shrill wailing.

The fire arrow that should have missed actually turned its head like a ghost.

A real man never looks back at the explosion.

The Earth Magic Bat was the same.

So it really exploded.

Have you ever seen a fire arrow that can turn?

Looking at another Earth Magic Bat whose body was burning with raging flames, falling from the sky to the ground, Gao De mocked in his heart.
