Chapter 541: The Ingenious Uses of the Wish Spell

Having made the decision, Lei En activated the Spirit Contract Element and copied the "Rainbow Light Cloak" into his own soul.

On the branch formed by that soul contract, a new leaf sprouted quickly, and the rune Element on it was precisely the Rainbow Light Cloak.

The casting of this spell is extremely fast; even though it is six‑ring, in a single thought it can empower oneself, like a hazy flow of light adhering to the skin, perfectly matching the Prismatic Dragon's "True Dragon Body".

Additionally, the Dragon Power Technique also grants a resistant skin; after both are applied, one's resistances and saves reach astonishing levels.

Lei En's mind became active.

Spells that require empowerment to take effect are still half a beat slower; when ambushed, one may not react in time, and in combat the timing is tight—any slip can mean a world of difference.

The safest method is to keep the spell constant, making it permanent.

Generally, only casters of legendary rank or higher can attempt to constantize spells, usually choosing to constantize a shield or several protective spells; this is why legendary casters fear ambushes less.

The more constant spells one has, the harder it is for a legendary caster to be killed.

Lei En currently has only one constant spell, the "Flight Technique" from a magic spirit, which is only four‑ring.

He previously tried that a constant spell can increase its ring count, but the spiritual energy consumption jumps by over tenfold, comparable to an advanced Super‑Absolute Element.

Elevating the four‑ring constant Flight Technique to five rings requires over two hundred energy units!

Moreover, constant spells cause the spell's level to drop—ideally by one ring, at worst two or three rings—requiring a large amount of magical materials, with a low success rate, and it permanently solidifies part of one's spiritual energy, rendering it unusable for other spells.

The higher the spell's level, the harder it is to constantize.

If one wishes to permanently constantize the six‑ring Rainbow Light Cloak, the difficulty is extreme and the success rate terrifyingly low.

However, for Lei En, this is not a major issue.

Because he possesses the Wish Spell!

The Wish Spell, king of all spells, is safest when cast as a simulation spell, followed by using it to constantize spells.

Releasing the Wish Spell permanently loses the corresponding spiritual energy; constantizing a spell solidifies spiritual energy, and the outcomes are similar. By exploiting the Wish Spell's god‑defying effect to request constantization of a spell, as long as the spell does not exceed the Wish Spell's level, it generally succeeds without danger.

Moreover, constantizing a spell with the Wish Spell requires no magical materials, saving a great sum of money!

The Rainbow Light Cloak is six‑ring, and the Wish Spell is also six‑ring, so it cannot be constantized now; however, one can try the Dragon Power Technique, which has already reached the five‑ring limit.

There are still over three hundred energy units in the spiritual energy pool, definitely enough.

Among the spells he controls, Thorn Electric Armor and Wind‑Thunder Wings can be constantized in the future; the Prismatic Light Shield need not be, as it would affect close combat.

Lei En glanced at Ao Xi Li Ya's dragon soul.

She also has a talented spell that is quite good; every true dragon has a unique breath, and the Prismatic Dragon's is the "Rainbow Light Breath", which is actually the seven‑ring spell "Rainbow Light Jet", and it is a power‑enhanced version.

When casting, one only needs to open the mouth to emit it, with speed comparable to an instant cast.

The "Book of a Thousand Souls" records that currently only the Prismatic Dragon is known to be born with the "Rainbow Light Jet"; missing this chance, Lei En cannot find other magic souls that carry Rainbow Light Jet, essentially saying goodbye to this spell, unless the Wish Spell can be raised to eight‑ring.

"A bit of a pity."

Lei En shook his head, lamenting, "The soul contract can only copy five Elements; otherwise, the next one I would definitely choose the Rainbow Light Breath."

"You don't lack spells, and when you use my breath, others can instantly know you're a Prismatic Dragon knight; that evil dragon Bo Erqi is merely a ruse, perhaps they'll suspect me."

"Indeed," Lei En nodded slightly.

Outside, everyone knows he is a dragon knight, assuming the soul contract was made with the three‑headed golden dragon; if he were to spew a burst of Rainbow Light Breath, anyone with a bit of insight could guess the truth.

The Prismatic Dragon, one of the three legendary dragon breeds, will inevitably attract many strong eyes watching from the shadows.

Ao Xi Li Ya is very concerned about keeping her identity secret, apparently with other hidden motives, and he still tries to cover for her as much as possible to prevent exposure.

Lei En looked at her; her exquisitely beautiful face still held a lingering expression, brows slightly furrowed, clearly still wrestling with the Wish Spell.

"How about it, want to try again?" he asked himself inwardly.

"No need."

Ao Xi Li Ya gently shook her head, exited the soul link state, stood up and said, "I'll go to the Great Library to consult references; I'll tell you once I have clues."

"You're always welcome."

Lei En also stood, moved forward, embraced her beautiful form and placed a gentle kiss on her lips, then released his hold to let her go.

When the Prismatic Dragon teleported away, he immediately opened his phone.

He checked the energy units in the spiritual energy pool, seeing 342 units, then activated the Wish Spell and shouted, "Constantize my next spell, Dragon Power Technique!"

Immediately, a phantom dragon head materialized in the air and descended.

Crystal‑like dragon scales appeared on Lei En's skin, boosting spell resistance and surging his power. The Dragon Power Technique is one of the first two spells he mastered, combining the effects of Mighty Force Technique and Dragon Skin Technique; the higher the ring count, the stronger the effect, but unfortunately its cap is only five‑ring.

As the Wish Spell took effect, his spiritual energy plummeted rapidly.

Lei En immediately released energy units from the spiritual energy pool to replenish the permanently lost spiritual energy, keeping it within a stable range.

The Dragon Power Technique on his body changed; the crystal dragon scales gradually faded, merging into the skin beneath, yet their effect did not wane.

On the World Tree, the rune on the Dragon Power Technique leaf also solidified.

The entire process lasted about three minutes.

The Element rune of the Dragon Power Technique finally stabilized completely, but its level dropped by one ring to four‑ring, with power increase and resistance reduced by roughly twenty percent.

"Constantization succeeded!"

Lei En felt exhilarated, sensing the constantly empowered strength and resistance; this Wish Spell consumed eighty energy units, far less than he expected, very worthwhile.

The four‑ring Dragon Power Technique's empowered strength increased by about forty percent, yet the "Power" Element remains at level eleven, with no progress on the bar. A forty‑percent boost may seem modest, but it is calculated on the original power base and is permanent.

The constantized Dragon Power Technique can still be upgraded.

Lei En tried it and was delighted to find that raising it to five rings required less than one hundred fifty energy units.

With 260 energy units still in the pool, he unhesitatingly invested them, pushing the constantized Dragon Power Technique up to the five‑ring limit again.

The power increase reached half, and magical resistance also rose a notch.

The constantized Dragon Power Technique appears normal in idle times; once attacked and in combat, the crystal scales beneath the skin trigger passively, no longer requiring mental effort to empower.

"Also the Rainbow Light Cloak, Wind‑Thunder Wings!"

"Not only should we constantize protective spells, but also some offensive spells; when passively triggered, the spell automatically counterattacks the enemy."

Lei En immediately thought of the Storm Queen.

The female Holy Soul Wizard excelled at this, constantly fixing a large number of trigger spells onto herself; in battle she need not act, and the enemies were eliminated by the counter‑strikes.

The Storm Queen named it the "spell sequence".

As long as a single spell in the sequence is triggered, a chain of spells is instantly released in a pre‑set order, a storm‑like barrage turning enemies to ash; the Storm Queen earned her name thereby, and indeed her temperament is as capricious as a storm.

However, the spell sequence generally suits only Law Seal school wizards or mages, because it requires enough spells to be fixed.

At present Lei En has too few spells and cannot assemble a sequence.

"We'll see later, depending on the situation."

Lei En shook his head silently and gave no further thought.

He opened the phone library, flipped through books, and resumed the work he had paused for almost a month, looking for a way to solve the Titan Furnace miniaturization.

In the following days, Lei En spent almost all his time inside the tower.

Half of the time was spent attending to Ao Xi Li Ya's physiological needs, a task he enjoyed; sometimes he visited Jin Si Lan to see his son, spent nights at Hong Long Bao, and also dealt with Ai Mi Li Si's demands—caught between two fronts, even his iron body felt a slight ache in the waist.

The remaining time was filled with too many tasks.

He meditated daily, oversaw the governance of Ge La Mo Gen Ling and Ao Gu Si Du Gong Guo, allocated shares of the motorcycle factory, fulfilled his duties as Fu Kong Cheng's chairman, instructed students, sought methods to miniaturize the Titan Furnace, assisted Si Pai Luo Huo Ke in researching divine magic elixirs, examined the cultivation progress of the Gun‑Wing Knights, and so on…

A mountain of tasks kept Lei En so busy his feet never touched the ground; fortunately everything was arranged properly and no major problems arose.

He felt that in this regard he could already stand shoulder to shoulder with a Master of time management.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Ao Xi Li Ya's estrus ended, which let Lei En silently breathe a sigh of relief; when alone he rubbed his waist.

No matter how delicious the food, eating three, four, or even five or six meals a day will inevitably become tiresome.

Even the best music, if set as a phone ringtone, alarm, or notification, will trigger a stress response within three days; hearing it makes one shiver.

Lei En finally understood why men with power and freedom are always fickle.

He looked up and saw Po Laruisi sitting opposite him.

The young witch had a radiant, captivating face, perfectly delicate features, bright eyes blinking like speaking stars in the sky; her long hair, tied simply, fell over her shoulders as she busily worked on a bottle of golden blood, her expression focused, the strands draping over her fair neck, evoking imagination.

That day Ao Xi Li Ya's words fell like a seed into Lei En's heart, taking root and sprouting.

"She's two years younger than me."

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever been intimate with a woman my own age; Viola, Ao Xi Li Ya, and Ai Mi Li Si are all much older than me…"

Just as Lei En was daydreaming, perhaps sensing his gaze, Po Laruisi suddenly looked up, and their eyes met.

Her eyes lingered briefly, then she hurriedly lowered her head again.

It seemed nothing had happened, yet Lei En's All‑Seeing Eye detected her emotional turbulence and a slight quickening of her heartbeat, though she concealed it well.

"A woman's heart…"

This situation has occurred many times.

Lei En couldn't help but wonder, had Ao Xi Li Ya really guessed correctly? Was she trying to start a teacher‑student romance with him?

These past days he often stayed in the alchemy chamber, assisting Que Ying in researching magic elixirs; Po Laruisi and Da La Ma were also summoned as assistants, and their alchemical talent was quite good, though far below Que Ying's, yet more than enough for assistants.

The four of them—teacher and three students—researching together accelerated the progress considerably.

"It's successful!"

Si Pai Luo Huo Ke suddenly shouted, raising a glass bottle half‑filled with pale gold liquid; after several dilutions it was no longer so viscous, and a gentle shake produced a faint sound.

"Teacher." He handed the bottle to Lei En, "Please appraise it."

Lei En took it, infused it with soul energy; his All‑Seeing Eye also saw inside the magic elixir, instantly sensing a powerful energy that still bore divine characteristics but was no longer wildly violent. The informational imprint had been erased, and various material compatibilities were added, making the energy gentle as water and safe to ingest.

As for its effect, he could not discern it at the moment.

"It should be fine." Lei En nodded.

He praised silently in his heart; Si Pai Luo Huo Ke truly lived up to being a once‑in‑a‑millennium alchemical prodigy—the first magic elixir crafted from divine material after over a month of research.

"Let me test its effect!" With Lei En's approval, Si Pai Luo Huo Ke excitedly rubbed his hands; alchemy has a method to test efficacy that yields results in half an hour.

"No need, let me."

Lei En tilted his head back and gulped the magic elixir in one swallow, leaving the three students staring dumbfounded.

The potion entered his stomach, and instantly a massive energy surged from his gut upward, being absorbed throughout his body; it felt like a warm current spreading everywhere, pleasantly warm, subtly strengthening flesh and blood.

Lei En's physical condition was already so strong that this boost was negligible to him.

But for superhumans below the legendary tier, it was a massive tonic!

Moreover, most of the elixir's energy flowed to the head, beginning to nourish the soul; he sensed that if he entered meditation, efficiency would increase manyfold, with a day's meditation gain equaling four to five days normally.

Divine‑material‑crafted elixirs are that domineering!

Lei En smacked his lips and asked, "How long does this effect last?"

"At least ten days." Si Pai Luo Huo Ke replied confidently, "If one can fully absorb a bottle's energy, it can be extended another two or three days."

"Impressive!"

Lei En gave a sincere exclamation of praise.

Po Laruisi and Da La Ma's eyes also lit up.

Within ten days, meditation efficiency would increase fivefold and physical condition would improve; this elixir, if sold, would fetch a sky‑high price, with countless people scrambling for it!

They couldn't help but look at Si Pai Luo Huo Ke with new respect; of course, the greatest was the teacher, who could hunt down a powerful divine beast.

Si Pai Luo Huo Ke scratched his head shyly, "Without the teacher's materials, I couldn't have forged it."

"Give this elixir a name, but keep it secret, known only within us." Lei En pulled from the Star Cloud Ring a corpse of a sun‑spotted viper weighing tens of thousands of pounds, slammed it to the ground with a boom, and said, "Da La Ma, Po Laruisi, from now on you'll fully assist Que Ying in forging the elixir; whatever quantity is produced, everyone shares the finished product—maintain secrecy."

He had no intention of selling the elixir; it would be used entirely to train his own superhuman army of students.

The three students stared at the mountain‑sized corpse, feeling the vast divinity; their eyes widened, then they excitedly replied in unison, "Yes, Teacher!"

At last, it's time to bid farewell to the hard‑pressed 2020, thank everyone for their support this year, and wish a Happy New Year—may 2021 become stronger!
