Chapter 19

After finishing two experiments, Lin Ke came to the classroom.

It was extremely rare; at this time, besides Mo Li in the classroom, there were actually several Newblood who had also arrived early.

Glancing at them with the corner of his eye, Lin Ke suddenly discovered that they were all Five Grade Aptitude Newblood who usually acted extremely flamboyantly and were enthusiastic about socializing and entertainment.

Is he stimulated and fired up?

A guess arose in Lin Ke's mind.

He didn't mind too much, Lin Ke sat down beside Mo Li, after thinking a bit, took out a sheet of paper, and wrote on it: "The wizard model scroll has been unsealed, its structure is similar to the meditation method, both are three-dimensional structures, so you can especially strengthen this part during meditation. Also, in the wizard model, rule runes make up a large proportion; however, without thoroughly understanding the relevant knowledge, one cannot construct rule runes. Such knowledge is not only learned from books; one must also observe nature, simulate experiments, and combine knowledge with action to achieve success. Destroy after reading."

After writing, Lin Ke folded the paper once and passed it over.

Mo Li tilted her head, her bright green eyes fixed on Lin Ke's face, showing anticipation and a hint of shyness, her cheeks blushing appropriately: "Is this a love letter you wrote for me? I'm so happy!"

Lin Ke let out a heavy snort from his nose, rolled his eyes, ignored Mo Li, who knows which wire got crossed and was putting on a drama, lowered his head to read, reviewing the content on germination and cultivation in the Botany textbook.

After gaining Pomona Sprout's Botany Talent, he had already integrated the related knowledge he self-studied and learned in class earlier, but reviewing the old to learn the new.

Mo Li, seeing that, stopped messing around, opened the folded paper, and read it seriously.

In under a hundred thirty characters, Mo Li spent several minutes reading it, after repeatedly chewing and digesting the information contained, she tore the paper into shreds, put it into her small carry‑on pouch, preparing to return to the dormitory or find a restroom in the teaching building to flush the scraps with water.

After doing these, Mo Li couldn't help but smile.

Being able to know in advance these two pieces of news about the wizard model was, for her, naturally extremely happy.

After all, she could make the corresponding preparations in advance; once she completed the first layer of the meditation method, advanced to First Grade Wizard Apprentice, and obtained the wizard model scroll, she would no longer need to fumble around but could directly get started.

This way, she would not fall too far behind.

What made Mo Li even happier was that the decision, made initially based on intuition to deeply bind with Lin Ke, now looks extremely wise.

The benefits could be described as endless.

Occasionally acting coquettish and cute, letting him rub against the little bun, it's not a loss!

But this person is indeed a blockhead; even though she willingly offered it herself, he still refuses to rub against it, surely because he thinks the bun isn't big enough—hmph!

……

Time flew by quickly.

One week passed in a flash.

Over these seven days, Lin Ke shuttled back and forth along the five‑point line of dormitory, cafeteria, teaching building, library, and laboratory building.

After careful thought, Mo Li decided that her first zero‑tier wizardry would be the growth technique, so she also followed Lin Ke to the laboratory building a few times to conduct observations and experiments on germination and cultivation.

The reason is simple.

First, her affinity for the wood element is high, while her water and earth elements are medium; playing to her strengths and avoiding weaknesses, she naturally prioritizes learning wood‑element wizardry;

Second, Lin Ke had already learned the growth technique before her, so he could share his experience, even teach her hands‑on, saving time and effort—why not?

Lin Ke naturally knew Mo Li's little thoughts, because she had frankly told him from the start.

Regarding Mo Li's practice of treating him as an oak tree and herself as a trumpet vine, clinging to his high branches to attach, climb, and grow, Lin Ke made no comment.

He neither approved nor objected.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own way of living.

As long as it didn't affect his own studies, Lin Ke was also happy to share his experience and teach Mo Li knowledge.

Learning is a process, and teaching is another process.

Much knowledge, while being learned, seems mastered, but when it comes to teaching, often many new and different insights arise.

During the seven days of alternating study and teaching, Lin Ke successfully completed all the prerequisite preparations for the two zero‑tier wizardries: the secondary mist‑rain technique and the growth technique.

Dormitory, study.

The protective shield has been activated.

Lin Ke sat cross‑legged on the floor, his consciousness sinking into the sea of consciousness.

The lake surface remained blue and clear, the water reflecting the lakeside library and the rune equilateral triangle above.

After this period of uninterrupted meditation, the rune equilateral triangle became more substantial, faintly revealing a heavy quality.

He hasn't measured how much his mental power has increased, so he's not sure.

But he has begun to gradually practice the second layer of the meditation method, already drawing a circumscribed circle around the rune equilateral triangle and, at the point opposite the vertex along the diameter, constructing a rune called "Refining".

"Refining" is also a will‑rune that acts on mental power; its effect is to purify and temper mental power, cooperating with the will‑rune "Derivation" so that mental power does not become insubstantial during rapid growth.

Below the structure of the meditation‑method runes, a wizard model formed by two concentric rings crossing vertically gradually came into being.

At the moment the rings finished crossing, Lin Ke opened his eyes, a thought stirred, and a light mist quickly spread throughout the study.

Lin Ke vaguely recalled from his previous life the classification of fog levels: heavy fog is the highest level, level four, with the standard being horizontal visibility under 50 meters.

And the mist produced by the secondary mist‑rain technique has visibility under 10 meters!

"Is this the power of wizardry?"

Lin Ke was shocked.

He had only just begun, and there was still plenty of room for improvement in the secondary mist‑rain technique.

In the future, wouldn't it be able to produce another kind of "can't see your hand in front of your face"?

Lin Ke's understanding of the term "transcendent" inevitably deepened a bit more.

Just being a First Grade Wizard Apprentice, just a single zero‑tier wizardry, if used well, could defeat all the knights of Viscount Holledi's domain!

After composing himself, Lin Ke dispersed the wizard model of the secondary mist‑rain technique.

The mist lingering in the study quickly vanished.

The air became slightly damp.

After a slight adjustment of his state, Lin Ke picked up the flowerpot placed nearby; a seed known as the "Sleep‑flower" had already been buried in its soil.

Lin Ke sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness and again constructed the wizard model of the secondary mist‑rain technique.

This time, a "rain" whose range was controlled to be slightly smaller than the flowerpot's area began to patter down.

Before the rain had even ceased, Lin Ke again constructed in his sea of consciousness a tree‑structured witchcraft model of the germination technique.

A surge of joy from the fledgling life reached Lin Ke's heart.

First bathed in the silent, nourishing rain of vitality, then spurred by the abundant vitality of the germination technique, the sleep‑flower's seeds quickly broke ground and sprouted, and within just a few minutes they were fully mature.

A soothing, sleep‑inducing fragrance wafted out in wisps.
