Chapter 114

The first ray of morning sun penetrated through the window and spilled onto the wooden floor of the workshop, forming a warm golden spot.

Luo En stood in the center of the training room, took a deep breath, and felt the increasingly strong energy flow in his body.

He closed his eyes, and his thoughts drifted to his bloodline origin.

The Laerfu family—this ancient family that has existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Fa Lu Ke.

According to family ancient books, their bloodline can be traced back to the Hydra Great Poison Snake of the Age of Gods.

However, in fact, every knight noble who possesses bloodline inheritance can trace their ancestors back to extremely powerful extraordinary creatures.

There is nothing strange about this; everyone's ancestors were once powerful, and the current Laerfu family can at most awaken ordinary swamp multi-headed snake bloodlines.

The Laerfu family crest depicts a multi-headed snake pattern, symbolizing the family's roots and power.

Before in the kingdom, he felt confused about why humans would have the bloodline of great poison snakes or dragon species.

He even had some inappropriate fantasies because of this; now it seems... everything is just the product of wizards' experiments.

"But now..."

Luo En muttered to himself, his fingers stroking his arm, where golden meridian patterns were vaguely visible under the skin; this was the "Sun-Day Protection" trait obtained after practicing the "Sun Corona Breathing Method."

Since taking the improved "Sun Flame Extract" and breaking through, he could often feel a heat flowing in his body; that feeling was both strange and strangely familiar, as if some power that had been sleeping for a long time was gradually waking up.

"The multi-headed snake bloodline of the Laerfu family and the Sun Flame Dragon sub-species bloodline stimulated by the 'Sun Corona Breathing Method'... two completely different extraordinary bloodlines coexist in my body."

Luo En fell into deep thought:

"Plus the 'Retracing' trait I just obtained, perhaps I can retrace to a purer and more ancient bloodline form."

This possibility of multiple bloodline stacking made Luo En's heartbeat speed up.

Of course, this expectation also carried caution.

Bloodline activation is a double-edged sword; loss of directionality or excessive intensity may lead to distortion.

But with the "Retracing" trait and the precise bloodline activation potion he prepared, perhaps these risks could be minimized.

"No matter what, there will be a chance to reveal the answer in a few days." Luo En said softly and opened his eyes slowly.

He raised his hand, picked up the ironwood sword placed on the side, and skillfully made a series of basic sword moves.

Every movement was like flowing water, the sword momentum was natural and smooth, without any extra power.

Every muscle in the body was collaborating precisely, and every sword swing carried a heart-palpitating precision and sharpness.

The sword light crossed beautiful arcs in the morning light, making a slight whistling sound, as if the air had been cut open.

【Current progress: Basic Sword Art (Mastery max)】

"Indeed, it has reached the top..." Luo En muttered in his heart, putting the sword back into the sheath: "Continuing to practice will not increase experience value."

Basic sword art has reached the limit, and the professional panel shows that it will not have any improvement.

In this case, continuing to practice sword moves purely is obviously a waste of time; anyway, with panel solidification, the level will not retreat if not practiced.

"If you want to go further in sword art, I'm afraid you can only wait until after advancing to 【Magic Swordsman】."

"Before that, focus on spells."

Today is the second week since he officially moved into the workshop. To save the time of extra running, Eric and Lia arranged the weekly test together. After passing, he could go directly to the second-stage course learning.

"I have to go to the weekly test in the afternoon, so I'd better practice spells first."

Luo En smiled slightly and turned his hand to the other side's spellcasting medium—an exquisitely made silver bracelet.

This was something he bought specifically some time ago, capable of better guiding magic flow and improving spell efficiency, costing about a dozen magic stone fragments.

Although it was only a primary alchemy creation, it was enough for him to use for assistance at his current stage.

Luo En stood in the open space of the workshop, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing and mental state. He raised his hands, closed his eyes, and felt the flow of magic in his body.

He first focused on perceiving the energy field in the room, and then gradually turned his attention to the small creature used for special training: a white experimental mouse placed in a transparent glass cover.

This specially bred mouse was extremely sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations and was an ideal object for practicing spiritual interference spells.

"Spiritual interference..."

Luo En's spiritual power began to gather, condensing into a fine ripple that was almost invisible.

This kind of ripple looked fragile, but it actually contained a carefully constructed spiritual interference model, capable of acting on the creature's nervous system, causing short-term confusion or dizziness.

He repeatedly adjusted the frequency and intensity of the ripple, trying to find the best balance point.

Too weak would not produce an effect, too strong might cause permanent damage to the experimental mouse, making the experimental product useless.

The first few attempts were not ideal.

The first time, the experimental mouse almost had no reaction;

The second time, it just shook its ears slightly;

The third time, it stopped moving for a short time, but quickly returned to normal.

"Still not precise enough..." Luo En frowned.

He closed his eyes, completely immersed in spiritual construction, trying more complex ripple structures.

This time, he constructed a ring-shaped spiritual fluctuation, which theoretically could act more precisely on specific brain regions.

"Fourth attempt..."

With the release of spiritual power, an invisible ripple shot precisely toward the glass cover.

This time, the effect was immediate—the experimental mouse suddenly stopped all movements, as if frozen in place, its eyes becoming confused and empty.

To be precise, this was not a simple stop, but a specific nerve interference state; Luo En could clearly perceive that the experimental mouse's brain activity was briefly suspended by him.

Dozens of seconds later, the experimental mouse returned to normal, but it was obviously somewhat tired and confused; this was the typical sequelae after being spiritually interfered with.

【Spiritual Interference experience value +1】

【Breakthrough! Spiritual Interference (Entry 50/50) → Spiritual Interference (Proficient 1/100)】

【Obtained additional trait: Delay Circle (In a specific range, interference effect is increased)】

"Success!" Luo En cheered softly, feeling the subtle changes in the way spiritual power flowed in his body.

After a short rest, he began to practice "Spell Construction," which was the foundation of all spells and determined the spellcaster's control over magic and the stability of the spell model.

He picked up a special crystal ball; this was a tool specifically used for practicing spell construction.

The crystal ball could reflect the spellcaster's magic control status in real time, and any subtle fluctuations and instabilities would appear in the ball.

"This time I want to try triple overlapping configuration..."

Luo En muttered to himself; this was an advanced technique he saw in the book "Essentials of Wizard Modeling," which usually only experienced spellcasters could complete.

He introduced a stream of spiritual power into the crystal ball and began to construct the spell model inside.

At first, it was a simple ring structure, then gradually increased complexity, adding the second layer and the third layer of configuration, each layer maintaining a specific resonance relationship with the previous layer.

Complex light patterns gradually appeared inside the crystal ball, initially somewhat blurry, but as Luo En adjusted constantly, the light patterns became clearer and more stable.

This process was extremely exhausting to spiritual power, and Luo En's forehead was covered with sweat, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

But he persisted, constantly fine-tuning every detail until the triple configuration in the crystal ball reached a perfect balance.

"That's it..."

When the last trace of instability was eliminated, the light patterns inside the crystal ball suddenly became unusually bright and stable, and the three ring configurations overlapped perfectly, forming a harmonious and unified whole.

【Spell Construction experience value +1】

【Breakthrough! Spell Construction (Entry 50/50) → Spell Construction (Proficient 1/100)】

【Obtained additional trait: Stable State (Spell model stability slightly increased, magic consumption slightly decreased)】

"Accumulated for so many days, finally finished the breakthrough today."

Luo En muttered to himself, looking at his double breakthrough with satisfaction.

The promotion of these two skills could just be used in today's weekly test.

After practicing spells, Luo En sat cross-legged and prepared to start his daily meditation cultivation.

As he entered the meditation state, his consciousness gradually sank into that familiar starry sky—the unique consciousness realm of "Whispers of the Star Eater."

As always, in that deep universe, countless living stars flickered with strange light, as if whispering.

But today, Luo En found that those stars seemed more active than usual, their light was more dazzling, and the whispers were clearer.

Even, he seemed to be able to understand the intermittent words among them:

"... come... back..."

Luo En's heart jumped violently; this was the first time he had heard such a clear "voice" during meditation.
