My Talent Panel Can Add Points

Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Magic Study

The peaks sliced through the forest, clouds and mist drifted into the mountains.

The entrance to the Little Spirit Realm landed halfway up the mountain, and a five-person team exited their car in sequence.

In front of the light gate built from blue-grey boulders, two staff members dressed in black approached them. One of them asked, ”Sorry, this is a national Little Spirit Realm. Without permission, you cannot enter privately.”

Tang Ruobing presented her identification, the staff scanned it with a communication device, then compared the photo on the device with the girl’s appearance.

Identical, it’s her.

He glanced at the application information again and said with a smile, ”So, a top student from the high school preparation team, please go ahead.”

The staff stepped aside and added, ”The Little Spirit Realm is not like the Spirit Realm; the danger level is much lower. However, having enough supplements is still very important. If you need food and water, you can buy some from us: one portion of food costs 5 Spiritual Points, and one portion of water costs 10 Spiritual Points.”

”No need.”

Tang Ruobing led the team straight inside.

...

One hour later

Within the Thorny Forest of the Little Spirit Realm, Lei Peng, Lin Feng, and Ke Fanxing fought bravely, while Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing read in the rear.

Tang Ruobing read because her level far exceeded the team’s average; if she made a move, others wouldn’t have the opportunity to gain combat experience, so she refrained from acting in the Little Spirit Realm.

As for Ye Mingqiu, his reason was that his support ability was too strong. The War Roar’s paper control time was 0.1 to 1 second, but facing low-spirit creatures, the actual control time usually exceeded the paper time.

It’s actually template suppression.

The Legendary Profession corresponds to the Dominator, so exerting a suppression effect against elite template monsters is quite normal.

”Hmm... Mages are really tough.”

Ye Mingqiu looked at the ”Basic Introduction to Magic,” his brows furrowed consistently. In previous days, he read many magic system books to chat with Tang Ruobing, gaining some understanding of the basic principles, but due to insufficient Spiritual Power Talent, he couldn’t learn magic content before becoming a Spiritualist.

Now, he had become a Spiritualist, received a professional energy infusion, and his control over spiritual energy had improved significantly.

So...

Can I comprehend a magic system skill?

With this thought, Ye Mingqiu brought a book on the way, reading while others fought, learning the basics of becoming a mage.

Although his profession was fixed, understanding multiple skills was still quite good. For example, having multiple Healing Skills made him look more supportive, and had certain value in practice.

He understood.

Ye Mingqiu closed the book, slowly raised his hand, closed his eyes, and felt the spiritual energy, guiding it to his palm and imagining constructing a specific technique template with basic attributes to hold its own elemental power.

Manipulating spiritual energy with spirit is difficult; it requires high proficiency or immense concentration to complete. Typically, a person can’t swiftly become a mage; it’s achieved through years of continual strengthening.

Luckily, Ye Mingqiu had been through such training many times before.

Just kidding, knowing he was a failure, unlikely to be a Mage, as a youthful boy, how could he hesitate to try after learning magic basics? He tried and tried for a long time and many times, though continuously failing.

Today, Ye Mingqiu wasn’t starting from scratch, but reviewing previously learned content, trying to succeed post-Spiritualist transformation.

”Hoo!”

Suddenly, a faint flame appeared in Ye Mingqiu’s palm, tiny, weak, seeming ready to be blown out by the wind at any moment, but it materialized, swaying resiliently in his hand.

”You succeeded? Just like that?”

Tang Ruobing asked in surprise.

”Yes.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded, the small flame flickering in his eyes, igniting pain from countless nights of failure. He laughed, throat a bit dry but firmly stated, ”Because, I’m a genius.”

”...”

Tang Ruobing was silent, her gaze towards him grew complex, eventually sighing. She truly couldn’t bear telling Ye Mingqiu, she accomplished this at eight.

Spellcasting tests aptitude most in mage cultivation, but it’s the simplest part. Those with aptitude can complete it effortlessly, but achieving significant effect requires ongoing study and research.

”I advise you... not to invest too much time in learning magic. Although you’re not in a mage profession, learning will not achieve substantial results,” Tang Ruobing said.

”I know, but true geniuses often achieve without excessive learning,” Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

Though the starting point was slightly low, at least he learned a lot in high school, crucial for Mages, having vast knowledge will slow him less in magic practice.

Igniting the heart of dreams, Ye Mingqiu resumed reading, studying basic magic, attempting to construct different elemental magic, experiencing mage joy.

Meanwhile, Lei Peng shielded against the Thorny Iron Tree’s vine whips, Lin Feng wielded a bloody great sword, cutting through its vines, Ke Fanxing shot from the rear, applying negative effects; the battle raged fierily.

Because they faced a Level 4 Leader Level BOSS, immensely strong, its level higher than theirs, attribute suppression was potent.

However...

Under the Immortal Aura’s effect, they never feared engaging the Thorny Iron Tree in a prolonged battle; inversely, the longer the fight, the stronger the Immortal Aura’s effects became.

”Really tough to beat.”

Lei Peng blocked another whip, wiping sweat from his forehead, breathing heavily, health secure, feeling fatigued, uncertain how much longer the battle might persist.

He called out, ”Brother Qiu, lend a hand!”

Interrupting Ye Mingqiu’s magic experiment, he sighed, disbanded the wind orb, then focused on the Thorny Iron Tree, casting Spiritual Power - Enchantment on Lin Feng’s weapon, greatly boosting attack power.

”Oh, it’s here!”

Lin Feng shouted excitedly, charging the Thorny Iron Tree, slicing off a significant portion with his sword, smiling immensely as he unleashed storm-like attacks on it.

Soon after, the Thorny Iron Tree collapsed, the trio of Lei Peng fell, laughing at its remaining branches - worth a good price for sale.

Indeed, powerful support significantly amplifies team combat potential; it’s great!
