Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 1241: Ascension to the Fifth Circle (6)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Holy Infant’s aura, previously at the perfection of the fourth-circle, broke through in an instant!

As a part of Levi, the Holy Infant naturally ascended alongside his main body.

“205 years old, entering the fifth-circle, gaining at least a thousand years of life. This calls for a celebration. Today, I, the Holy Infant, will take a day off!”

The Holy Infant lay on his bed, falling into a deep sleep, utterly exhausted.

On the ground lay mountains of divine talisman waste and black beast bones.

In the crater, a towering figure shot up, breaking through the high heavens, laughing heartily.

“Hahaha, the fifth-circle, just one circle short of the sixth!”

Calming down, Levi mused to himself, “Is this what they mean by… swallowing a crystal, and my fate is in my hands, not the heavens’?”

He felt the stark difference in the quality of his spiritual force and spell power compared to his fourth-circle days. His perception and thoughts were clearer, and on the fifth-circle Divine Tower, the talent spell models were more intricate and lifelike.

With his ascension, everything improved.

He casually unleashed a Fire Dragon Tribulation, which exploded ten miles away.

Boom!

The fire illuminated the sky like a sunset.

“287 Cas… what a wonderful number. Just stepping into the fifth-circle, my third-circle innate spell already rivals the level of a senior fifth-circle wizard.”

As Levi’s spiritual force grew, the power of his innate spells could also increase, albeit not as dramatically as with a breakthrough.

Levi tested Water Dragon’s Song, Earth Dragon Barrier, Thunder Dragon Flash, Wind Dragon Scamper, Ice Dragon Prison… all his spells had significantly increased in power!

Not only that, Levi opened his mouth.

A round, chicken-egg-sized, iridescent crystal appeared.

“My spiritual force crystal has completely solidified, and its hardness surpasses even fifth-grade metals. Some desperate wizards might use their crystals to attack, but I’ll pass. This is a wizard’s lifeline.”

The spiritual force crystal is akin to the elemental core of elemental spirits and the Abyssal core of demons but differs in that when a fifth-circle wizard dies, their crystal, lacking a soul anchor, disintegrates instantly. The other two cores, however, remain intact.

Generally, the color of a spiritual force crystal correlates with the wizard’s meditation art.

For example, wizards of the Burning Faction usually have red crystals, though variations exist.

Levi’s crystal, due to his Aether Meditation Art encompassing earth, fire, wind, water, metal, thunder, and ice, was iridescent. One of his crystals equaled seven of another wizard’s.

In ancient times, spiritual force crystals were often irregular in shape. With the progress of wizard civilization, they now mostly represent perfection as spheres.

Inside Levi’s spiritual force crystal, hundreds of spell models flickered.

These were all the various non-innate spells he had learned, from cantrips to fourth-circle spells. Previously in his mind, they were now naturally contained within the crystal upon his ascension to the fifth-circle.

As for his six commonly used innate spells, Levi had solidified them on the Divine Ring Tower.

After toying with the crystal, Levi inhaled, and it returned to his mind.

“Interesting.”

At the same time, Levi took out his most important Fifth-Circle Wizard Tool, the Circle of Ouroboros.

As he chanted the incantation, the Wizard Tool shrank, entering his mind and drilling into the Divine Ring Tower. It settled beside the iridescent crystal, surrounding it and slowly rotating.

“Hehehe, using the Wizard Tool will be much more convenient and quick now. With just a thought, I can wield it!”

This was a small change that came after reaching the Fifth-Circle. Wizards could store their Wizard Tools in their mindscape, enhancing their synergy with them. Of course, this was limited to Fifth-Circle Wizard Tools and above.

Besides this, Levi felt that his unique “iridescent crystal” should have other uses. Since it was unprecedented, he needed to research it gradually.

Levi held the Klein Crystal Ball.

[Mental Power: 600/1070]

[Spell Power: 60000]

“After advancing to the Fifth-Circle, my mental power has increased significantly, by a full thirty points. This saves me years of arduous cultivation. Only 470 points away from mental power perfection… assuming I don’t use any Truth Oddities. Unfortunately, after mental power solidification, even if I increase my mental power limit with treasures, it won’t enhance the success rate of forming the primordial soul. My additional success rate is fixed at 7%, but it’s not a big issue. There will be other ways to improve it later. The sooner I advance, the sooner I can enjoy the benefits. There’s no point in being stuck at the limit. I, Levi, have no regrets!”

Moreover, after the Fifth-Circle, 1 point of mental power equated to 100 points of spell power, which was a significant boost.

“After reaching the Fifth-Circle, having 700 mental power and mastering two Fifth-Circle Talents, one can be considered a senior Fifth-Circle wizard. Those with mental power exceeding 900, nearing 1000, can be considered at the perfection of the Fifth-Circle. After the screenings at the Third-Circle and Fourth-Circle, the number of innate spells will become an important standard for assessing the strength of Fifth-Circle wizards.”

For Levi, the next step was to proceed with his cultivation and research into Fifth-Circle Talents methodically.

He would also work on arrays and weapon refinement, keeping them in line with his wizardry realm.

“There’s no rush. Advancing to the Fifth-Circle calls for a proper celebration, a break to consolidate my realm, and perhaps checking out some projections.”
