Chapter 178

Four new spells, among which 【Dancing Lights】 and 【Light】 are similar, both are lighting spells.

However, the two have different applicable scenarios, each with its own characteristics, and can complement each other.

【Primal Savage Strike】 is similar to 【Cat Claw Technique】.

The difference is that 【Primal Savage Strike】 can only take effect once, while 【Cat Claw Technique】 can take effect for up to one minute.

However, this does not mean that 【Cat Claw Technique】 is a superior spell to 【Primal Savage Strike】; 【Primal Savage Strike】 has an attack distance of five feet, and it can also act on teeth.

In some scenarios, it can still have miraculous effects.

As for 【Spark】, it is a purely functional spell, just used for lighting fires.

Of course, most fire element spells can light fires, but the problem is that the power cannot be controlled.

For example, if you use 【Fire Arrow】 to light a fire, the fire is lit, but it also explodes... Professional things should be left to professional spells.

【Fire Burning】 is a spell with a more comprehensive effect, combining lighting and attack.

In short, in this world, spells, at least among spells of the same level, do not have the concept of "substitution".

Even spells that look similar have their own unique roles.

After dismantling the spell models, Gao De started to try to build the spell models on the spot.

The first benefit of the soul under the washing and sublimation of the "Water of the Soul Deep Sea" soon appeared.

The greatly increased mental power made Gao De's construction of spell models more handy and easy.

In the past, it took one to three days to successfully build a cantrip model.

And now, on the night he received the four spell formulas, Gao De built the spell models for 【Spark】 and 【Fire Burning】 in the spell star sea at once.

In the following two days, he mastered 【Primal Savage Strike】 and 【Dancing Lights】 accordingly.

It took three days to master four spells.

This speed, even for a 1st-circle magic user, is probably incomparable.

The number of spells in Gao De's spell library has officially reached 32.

His top priority now is to accumulate credits to 30 and unlock new spell lists in the academy library.

Spell laboratory, inside the apprentice room.

The spell-testing puppet, which was slightly blackened by electricity, had text jumping out on the "display screen" of its eyes at the right time:

"Category: Lightning damage."

"Attack power: 8 grams of magic crystal equivalent."

Having mastered many new spells, Gao De strictly followed what Instructor Farong said in the "Spell Application and Combat" class, and immediately came to the spell laboratory to open a room for half an hour for spell training.

At the same time, it is also to test the power of the spells.

The attack power of 【Lightning Traction】 is 8 degrees, which is on par with 【Fire Arrow】.

Subsequently, Gao De tested other spells.

【Cat Claw Technique】: Magic damage, attack power 8 degrees.

So-called magic damage is spell damage without any characteristics.

The advantage is that it is applicable in any situation.

For example, in water, fire damage spells are definitely useless, or in a volcanic environment, freezing damage spells also lose their power.

But magic damage spells will not encounter any of the above situations.

The disadvantage is that there is no targeting.

Of course, in Gao De's view, this is not a big disadvantage; the real disadvantage is: melee spell.

【Primal Savage Strike】: Acid damage, attack power 10 degrees.

Of course, Gao De used his nails for the test.

Biting the spell-testing puppet with his teeth, the scene was too beautiful, he didn't dare to think about it.

But in any case, when he got the power of Primal Savage Strike, Gao De was still startled.

10 degrees of power, among all the cantrips he mastered, it occupied the top spot, and could even be on par with 【Magic Power Blast】, which is known as the king of cantrip damage.

Of course, although the power is on par, the real gap is still very large.

Concise evaluation: one is a melee spell, one is a ranged spell.

No comparison! In the evaluation system of spells, although this is not absolute, it is applicable in most cases—"Range is truth."

【Fire Burning】: Fire damage, attack power 8 degrees.

The damage is actually okay, but the flight speed of that flame compared to the fire arrow is simply a tortoise and hare race. First-rank cultivation room. Gao De opened his eyes, his face full of joy, without any fatigue from cultivation.

Because the second benefit brought by the Water of the Soul Deep Sea also manifested at this time.

The strength of mental power can also reversely drive the improvement of the cultivation efficiency of the guidance method.

In most cases, for magic users, mental power not dragging down the cultivation progress of the guidance method is already something to be thankful for.

Gao De now experienced the feeling of being reversely driven.

Now, the progress improvement brought by his one-time cultivation of the guidance method is actually worth 1.5 times before.

"According to this progress, in a little over a month, my guidance method can improve by a small level."

"I am still six small levels away from the perfection of the guidance method, so that's about six months."

"In six months, with the meditation technique only one level away, it should be perfect anyway."

"That is to say, in this year's Ice-Sealed Month, I can reach a third-rank magic user apprentice and start trying to be promoted to a 1st-circle magic user."

Calculating this way, Gao De was full of motivation.

Time flies.

Three of the six remaining courses Gao De had: "Racial History," "Pharmacological Research," and the first stage of "Basic Cultural Course," all came to an end this month.

All three are theoretical courses.

So Gao De took full marks in all three courses without accident, once again bringing a little "academic bully shock" to the crowd of "credit-challenged people."

With the three courses successfully completed, his credits finally broke through the 30-point boundary.

However, because it had only been a month since the last purchase of spell formulas.

Plus the fact that it only takes him one day to build a spell model for a cantrip now, Gao De was not in a hurry to buy the newly unlocked spell formulas.

After all, mastering four spells in a month seems too exaggerated no matter how you look at it.

A man's talent is like a woman's beauty.

Appropriate prominence can bring more opportunities and emphasis.

But if you are too prominent and don't have corresponding power or background support, it will become a bad thing instead.

This simple truth, Gao De still understands.

Because he was admitted through a recommendation letter, Gao De's time to enter the academy was not standard.

His first academic year started on the 2nd of Dark Night Month.

Naturally, it also ended on the 2nd of Dark Night Month.

And Yilan, according to the standard process, entered the academy through the enrollment assessment of the Seris Academy on the 1st of Frost Gold Month.

His first academic year would end a month later than Gao De's.

And the duration of the academy's courses also requires a minimum span of three months.

Although after Gao De finished all the remaining courses, his total credits would be two credits higher than Yilan's.

But this advantage is not big enough.

Yilan completely exists in the possibility of taking extra courses in Flower Flame Month and launching a sneak attack.

At that time, it would be impossible for Gao De to compete with Yilan again because his first academic year only had two months left, and he could not finish a complete course within the first academic year.

Gao De didn't want his hard work for more than half a year to fall short at the end.

More importantly, he desperately needed the 100 gold coin reward for the first place in freshman credits.

So for the sake of safety, Gao De additionally chose two branch courses with a duration of three months.

One is the advanced branch course under Potionology, "Spiritual Land Utilization and Reclamation," which can only be taken after reaching 30 credits.

The other is "Extreme Environment Survival Skills."

This course is specially opened for students who aspire to make a living by hunting Earth Vein creatures after graduation.

After all, once you embark on this path, you will spend more than half of your time sleeping in the open in the wild.

Encountering bad weather or stepping into extreme environments is definitely unavoidable.

Undoubtedly, this course is also a rigid demand for Gao De.

Two courses, tuition fees totaling 30 gold, can bring Gao De 3 credits.

In this way, his lead will reach 5 points.
