Chapter 99: Mind is more important than matter! Be cautious at every step!
Dawn.
Sean woke up from meditation, his raw magic and psychic energy pool almost fully restored.
However, he was not in a hurry to go out to play in the wild today, because even if he was in a hurry to play in the wild, it would not help him complete Amon's bloody battle trial. With Xiao En's current strength, even if he learned a few more spells, it would be unlikely for him to defeat a legendary lizardman leader. The gap between the two was too big.
Using the description of martial arts novels on Earth in the previous life, Amon's trial is equivalent to asking a fledgling character to challenge a well-known martial arts master, who also has his own forces and a large number of second- and third-rate masters who are stronger than him. This is basically equivalent to asking Yang Guo, who has just achieved some success in martial arts, to challenge the entire Quanzhen Sect directly, and to kill the head of the Quanzhen Sect. The difficulty is completely beyond Xiao En's ability.
The only chance to complete the mission is for Xiao En to learn the "unique martial arts" during this period of time, or at least learn a killer move from the peerless martial arts.
Inside the Eye Demon Cave.
Xiao En opened his magic notebook and began to record the new day.
"A legendary lizardman leader, it is very likely to have a perfect physique or legendary strong ability. The enemy's physical fitness is very strong. Most of my control spells are ineffective against it. Curse and disease spells may not even pass its immunity judgment."
"Firearms can probably cause some damage to it, but the effect should be limited."
"Jason Tangle is a high-level barbarian, a transcendent who is close to the legendary level. He basically ignores the attacks of conventional firearms because his vitality is too strong. Ordinary firearms cannot cause serious injuries at all. At most, they can only cause minor injuries."
"The enemy is most likely a legendary warrior, who may have integrated abilities from other professions across paths."
"But no matter which one it is, the gap in strength between me and the enemy is too big."
Sean poured himself a glass of water and had breakfast of dried meat brought from Abyss City. Amon didn't prepare much food for him, so it was common sense for an adventurer to prepare it himself.
A bit hard.
Xiao En chewed the dried meat fiercely and picked up his pen to continue his analysis.
"How to kill a legendary warrior?"
"There is a gap of ten Transcendent levels between me and it, and the enemy's Transcendent level is twice mine. But the real difference in strength is at least five times. If we fight head-on, I can only survive one or two rounds in the hands of the enemy at most, and that's with the ability to rewind my death."
"The enemy possesses extremely strong vitality, amazing melee explosive power, and extremely rich survival and combat experience."
"I basically had it completely suppressed."
Xiao En's expression was very calm at the moment, and he was silently recording his analysis, because he had already thought of where the glimmer of hope for defeating the enemy lay.
"I only have one chance to make a move."
"If I want to kill the enemy, I must take the initiative, enter my turn, and kill him instantly, or at least severely injure the enemy and put him on the verge of death."
"So what's going on?"
"Can I enter [my turn]?"
"Among the two paths of arcane and psychic spells, is there any that I have the opportunity to master now and that can give me the absolute first-hand ability?"
Amon would not give Sean a trial that would lead to his death. In fact, before he set out, he already had a chance to defeat the legendary enemy.
That is the psychic knowledge contained in Suen's mind.
"From my perspective, analyzing Amon, the ultimate goal of his trial this time is to allow me to quickly improve my strength. To improve my strength, I naturally need to be promoted further and master the inheritance of the Orion Master of the Weird Empire."
"The script of Amon's trial has been arranged from the beginning. I will only have a chance to turn the tables after I am promoted to an Orion Master."
"Now, all I have to do is get a higher score in Eamon's script!"
"This will help me further borrow Amon's power later."
Xiao En is no longer averse to the scripts arranged by others. Since he does not have enough strength at the moment, he will just lie in wait and wait for the opportunity. With perfect performance, he will get his own benefits in Eamon's script first.
He finished his breakfast in one breath and began to mobilize the mysterious knowledge in his brain to sense the psychic laws left by Suen's Brain.
"really!"
"During the promotion ceremony, I already got the ticket for the time spell."
Unlike the chaos and disorder in the past, the mysterious knowledge of the rules of order allowed Xiao En to glimpse the power of the extraordinary essence in his body in advance. It was like he now had a God's perspective and could basically deduce what kind of corresponding abilities he would obtain after completely digesting the extraordinary essence.
After he opened the path of the arcanist, his ability to analyze mystical knowledge was further enhanced, and the power laws contained in extraordinary relics could be parsed out in advance.
"Suen is a powerful Old One who masters the laws of psionic energy."
"An important branch of the law of psychic energy is time magic. Unlike the time magic of wizards, the threshold for psychic time magic is very low."
"The only chance Amon left me was to advance to the level of a spiritualist and master my first 6th-level spell."
"Half a month."
"If I digest the supernatural essence quickly enough, I may be able to complete the promotion by the end of the month, but he probably didn't expect that I would open the path of destiny and possess the inheritance of the arcanist, and directly digest all the supernatural essence when I was promoted in one go."
Sean used rational thinking to deduce Amon's trial script, relying on the mysterious knowledge reshaped in his brain to understand the entire script thoroughly.
"Sixth-ring psychic spell - time acceleration!"
"This is my only chance to turn the tables. The script has been arranged from the beginning. Only after I further digest the power of Suen's Brain, open the path of the Orcist, and master the time spell, will I have a chance to defeat the powerful legendary monster."
Time speeds up.
Sean was no stranger to this time spell, as it was a low-profile version of 'time stop'. The captain of the Night Watch, Benjamin, had a relic in his hand that could allow him to enter a state of 'time acceleration' when activated.
Sean had a very clear memory of this, because when Benjamin activated this relic, it seemed as if he was not in the same time frame as Sean.
Benjamin seemed to be jumping around in time, flashing like a slide.
"This satisfies my initial battle deduction."
"Only when time is accelerated can I get the absolute initiative. Otherwise, I won't even have time to cast spells when facing a legendary enemy. If I want to kill or severely injure the enemy in one go, I must be on a different time frequency than the enemy."
"Then, the next thing to consider is how I can further advance to become a spiritualist and digest the extraordinary essence that includes time spells."
"Emon didn't give me any guidance on this."
Sean stopped and fell into deep thought. Amon's trial was not that simple. Although he left Sean a glimmer of hope, he did not give any hints. Sean had to discover everything by himself.
Even though Sean now figured out how to break through Amon's trial, he still needs to satisfy all the promotion factors by himself.
"Dual cultivation of Aoling and Ling."
"My wizard profession is being transformed into an arcanist profession. The first step now is to convert all wizard levels into arcanist levels."
"This can further strengthen my cognition and rationality, and increase my ability to analyze mysterious knowledge."
“Chaotic and disordered knowledge must be transformed into orderly knowledge.”
Xiao En began to make plans step by step, deducing the winning factors to break the impasse. He was now betting on that slight possibility of escaping death.
"The Brain of Suen is a very powerful extraordinary relic. Since Amon has left me a glimmer of hope, it means that I now have the conditions for further advancement."
"The promotion of an Orion Master should require two extraordinary relics."
"After digesting Suen's brain, I already have the extraordinary essence of the spiritual path in my body, so what I need to complete next is the extraordinary essence of the arcane path."
"So, where should this extraordinary essence be stolen or snatched from?"
"Original magic?"
"Or some other monster with spellcasting abilities?"
Xiao En estimated the danger of the two ways of obtaining it, and felt that they were both about the same, both quite dangerous. His first promotion was very easy because he was too "young" at that time.
The enormous original magic power would not care if a mite on the body stole a little bit of oil, but if it were to steal the extraordinary essence from the original magic power, it would be like a mosquito sucking blood on human skin.
Generally speaking, it is a little painful when mosquitoes suck your blood, but you don't feel anything when mites eat the oil in your skin.
The outcome is hard to predict. If the mosquito is discovered, it will most likely be slapped to death. If it is not discovered, the mosquito will run away after sucking blood and nothing will happen.
People don't care about the mites on their bodies, but it is difficult for them to tolerate a mosquito sucking their blood.
The same is basically true for raw magic.
The further the caster progresses, the more difficult it becomes to steal the transcendent essence from the raw magic.
Xiao En picked up the pen.
"The first step is to complete the promotion of the Orion Master, obtain the six-ring spellcasting ability at the extraordinary level 11, and digest and master the time acceleration. Only by relying on time spells can I have a chance to kill a legendary enemy."
"The second step is to strengthen my combat skills. Without alerting the Lizardman tribe, I will do a lot of combat training and master the ability to cast combat spells and cast spells proficiently as soon as possible. There are enemies everywhere here, which is very suitable for me to hone my combat skills."
"After these conditions are met, in the third step, I will need to investigate the situation of the Lizardman Tribe and obtain more intelligence information, but before that I must be careful not to alert the enemy."
"If these elements are achieved, I will have about six seconds of absolute first move time."
"In six seconds."
"I must turn the balance of victory back. With my ability to rewind death, I still have one more chance to make mistakes."
"I will have about a 60% chance of killing the target in the end!"
This confidence still takes into account the ability of death retracing. If the ability of death retracing is not taken into account, Xiao En's success rate is only about 30%. After all, the enemy will not wait for him foolishly. Lizardmen are an intelligent race. Once Xiao En's whereabouts are exposed, it will arouse the enemy's vigilance and even besieged by a large group of lizardman hunters.
Any unexpected factors will lead to unpredictable results. What Xiao En needs to do now is to reduce all unexpected factors as much as possible, and even deduce and predict the possibility of accidents in advance.
After making a plan, the next step is to execute it.
Xiao En added several magic warnings in the Eye Demon's territory, and then began to reshape all the spells he knew. He was now relearning all the spells, no longer relying on activation knowledge, but relying entirely on his own abilities to master it.
With previous experience, Xiao En's speed in re-mastering the spells was undoubtedly much faster.
He also discovered that although he had reshaped the mystical knowledge, if he extracted new extraordinary relics and digested the mysterious knowledge from them, the mysterious knowledge he had just digested would still be chaotic and disordered.
"In other words, I want to transform the wizard's spells into the arcanist's spells. All the extracted supernatural essences need to be reshaped."
"Chaos is the essence of the weird kingdom. All the original laws are chaos."
In this case, it is undoubtedly more efficient to convert the existing mystical knowledge first. Sean paused the extraction of other extraordinary relics and focused his energy on converting the arcanist's spellcasting level.
Time passes silently.
After reshaping his self-awareness, Sean tried to use some statistical knowledge to identify the mysterious runes in his brain. He found that most of the spells had a large number of repeated mysterious runes. What he had to do now was to identify and memorize these most basic mysterious runes.
Basic runes are like original codes. Different combinations construct different simple spell models, just like simple circuit diagrams. Eventually, they are combined together to form very complex spell models.
These complex spell models are higher-level spells, and their further combination should be the legendary spell matrix.
"What is the origin of the mysterious rune?"
“What does it represent?”
Xiao En felt a little mentally tired, so he stopped writing and fell into a state of contemplation that seemed like a sage's time. He needed to divert his attention and relax his thoughts, because reshaping the mysterious knowledge required a huge amount of energy.
"If I use the Earth's way of thinking, how should I understand these chaotic and disordered mysterious runes?"
Sean fell into deep thought, recalling all the knowledge about the earth again.
"The rune combination in the game?"
"I remember playing a dark game before. The rune combination had a very powerful power. It seemed to be called Rune Words."
"wrong."
"The mysterious runes of the Weird Kingdom are too complex. They are not a simple combination of rune words."
"Norse mythology?"
"Odin, the chief god of the Norse pantheon, hung himself upside down on a tree, dug out one of his eyes, and sacrificed himself to obtain the mysterious runes?"
“It feels a little bit close. The combination of mysterious runes is more like a complete language.”
"Is this a rune transformed from the laws of the world?"
"Before knowledge was activated and distorted crazily, did these mysterious runes represent a law? After the invasion of the Old Ones, knowledge became crazy and they also became chaotic and disordered?"
“At the very beginning of civilization, writing was the most important part.”
"Because words represent the inheritance of civilization."
"If we rely on language without writing, the inheritance will be interrupted by a little accident, and human civilization will not be able to be passed on at all."
“The most important function of writing is to record knowledge.”
"Then do these mysterious runes also carry the essence of knowledge and are the embodiment of the laws of knowledge?"
Xiao En suddenly had an idea, and the construction of the mysterious knowledge became more orderly.
——3st level Arcanist/2th level Wizard/5th level Psion.
In Sean's brain, more than half of the mysterious knowledge has been completely reshaped, and the way they work seems to have changed a little.
Most importantly, he began to recognize these mysterious runes, as if he had suddenly learned to read.
This means that he is able to combine these mysterious runes on his own.
"If it can be reassembled? Then can I create my own spells?"
"No no no!"
"Don't aim too high. You must keep your feet on the ground and move forward step by step. There is no shortcut to the inheritance of arcane magic."
The road to destiny is walked step by step.
From the moment his cognitive thinking was reshaped, Xiao En has been constantly getting stronger, and that strength is far greater than the extraordinary essence he has seized from the outside world.
People use their thoughts to control power, rather than power controlling people's thoughts.
This is the legend of destiny, the miracle of mankind.
Sean discovered that as the mysterious knowledge was reshaped, his psychic powers were also undergoing some strange transformation, and the power of the mind became more real.
——The mind is more powerful than things, and it can lead to transcendence and enlightenment!
He suddenly remembered a game he had played in his previous life, in which a prerequisite for psychic ascension was called "Mind is stronger than matter".
