The Flower Field War came to an end.
Angie achieved perfect meditation.
The realm of cultivation finally broke through to the late third stage!
Agility +1!
Spirit +1!
Awakened three spells in one breath.
2nd ring "Transformation"
3rd level "Suggestion".
3rd ring "Swarm Form".
The first two spells are not uncommon for beastmancers.
"Swarm Form" is the insectoid sorcerer's signature skill!
Angel's "swarm form" is different from the ordinary insect warlock's pattern.
In front of Alan, Angel demonstrated this newly awakened magic to him.
At first, Angie disintegrated into a swarm of buzzing wasps, swirling around the room like a cloud.
This is normal.
Then, things got weird...
The swarm of bees in the air suddenly burst into a ball of golden light.
Alan's eyes were stung by the bright light.
I couldn't help but raise my hand to cover it.
At this moment, the buzzing sounds in my ears disappeared collectively.
Instead, there were continuous sounds of cats meowing.
Alan moved his arm away and was surprised to find a group of cats surrounding him.
Each cat looks to be of normal size.
Its body is surrounded by yellow and black stripes, like a wasp.
These furry little cuties have a pair of emerald green eyes that reveal their cleverness.
Alan was surrounded by cats and didn't know what to do.
It took him a while to come back to his senses, and then he picked up a cat.
Look into each other's eyes.
He saw the shadow of his junior sister through the cat's eye.
"Big Brother, is my magic fun?"
Angie, who transformed into a group of cats, was unable to communicate with words.
However, her spirit controls the cat colony, becoming a being similar to the "will of the swarm" that can perform telepathy.
At this moment, Angel transmitted her mental fluctuations directly into Allen's mind, thus achieving spiritual communication.
“It’s quite interesting and awesome.”
Alan petted the cat skillfully and kissed his junior sister's cat face.
"Angie, how far can your cat group form spread at most?"
"Meow... The swarm's spreading radius is related to my mental strength. For me, it's about 100 meters."
"If we activate the ancestral form, with the extra mental power bonus, meow can spread out even further, meow!"
"What about the swarm form?" Alan asked.
"Meow, the swarm and the cat group form, the same spreading radius!"
"I see..." Alan stroked the little female cat's silky neck and said thoughtfully, "The bee swarm and cat swarm each have their own characteristics. This spell can be used in many ways if you study it carefully."
The little female cat felt very comfortable being stroked by him. In the eldest brother's warm big hands, she curled into a furry meat ball and purred comfortably.
There were hundreds of kittens watching nearby
There was envy in their eyes. They came over meowing and jumped onto Alan, asking for caress.
Alan only has two hands, how can he pet so many little female cats?
In the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed by the tide of cats.
Countless little cat paws were stepping on his body.
The little female cats were very considerate and put away their claws, using only the soft flesh on their palms to give him a full body massage.
Alan was lying on the bed in a big shape.
Immerse yourself in a sea of ​​cats and feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
After closing my eyes and enjoying it for a while, the cats' meows suddenly disappeared.
The little claws that were stepping on my body also disappeared.
Instead, lying on top of him was a petite and warm body.
When Angel decomposed into a cluster, the dress automatically fell off her body.
At this moment, it turned back into human form, lying obediently on Alan's chest like a kitten.
Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her thick eyelashes were curled upwards.
A blush appeared on her pretty little face.
Alan's hand stroked the curve of his junior sister's waist and hips.
Feel the girl's soft skin trembling slightly at your fingertips.
"Little lazy cat, it's time to get up."
Alan whispered in her ear.
An Qi hummed and shook her head, then leaned into his arms again.
"Brother, I have something to tell you..."
Angie whispered in his arms.
"Junior sister, I am already sixteen years old. Do you still remember the agreement we made?"
Of course Alan remembered.
"I have received the surprise you wanted to give me."
"A very cute group of cats. You should show them to me more often and give me back massages, okay?"
"Tsk...bad brother, playing dumb again!" An Qi pouted and raised her hand to twist his ear, "What kind of surprise is this? That's not what I'm talking about!"
Alan smiled and stopped playing dumb.
"Junior sister, can you turn into a cat and crawl into my bed at night? I'll pretend I don't know, and you can try to scare me."
"Um... Sister Kelly, Sister Renee, you won't be angry, right?"
Angie was a little worried.
"What's there to be angry about?" Allen laughed. "Kelly has long urged me to marry you. Renee...if she dares to meddle in other people's business, I'll beat her ass!"
An Qi felt relieved, but suddenly felt a little conflicted.
"Brother, I actually want to give it to you right now, but... I can't completely get rid of the influence of the meditation world."
"Especially when I think of General Eva, I feel very sad."
"I need some time to adjust my mood."
Alan nodded and sighed softly.
Not only Angie, he was also sad about Eva's ending.
Every time I go through a complete atavism practice, it feels like living my life again.
Looking back on every detail of my life, including the love, hate, and emotions, I can't help but feel that life is like a dream and a world away.
This is human nature.
The problem is that empathy should be moderate and one should not indulge in it or get too deeply involved.
We have invested too much emotion in memories that have long been lost in the long river of history.
These feelings are destined to be unrequited.
The past cannot be retrieved, and indulging in memories will only make you world-weary over time.
"Angie, sometimes you will find that compared to real life, the meditation world seems to be more beautiful and more worth staying in."
"However, that is not the truth."
“Everything we experience in meditation, the raw material comes from the memory fragments of our ancestors.”
"But these fragments alone cannot form a complete world."
"There are bound to be gaps and gaps, all kinds of contradictions and illogicalities."
“The filler used to make up for these gaps and gaps, to straighten out the logic, and to resolve the contradictions is our own imagination.”
“So, the beauty you are nostalgic for does not entirely belong to the world of meditation, but also includes the beautiful things you have imagined.”
Alan stroked his junior sister's silky hair and said with deep emotion.
“In meditation, you must fight against your inner demons at all times.”
“Fantasy is like an eggshell, which seems to provide a shelter for us who are exhausted physically and mentally.”
"But the eggshell is too fragile. Curling up in it does not bring us real safety."
"Only by breaking free from it can we calmly face the cruel reality, endure the trials and tribulations, and live on with strength."
At this point, Alan suddenly remembered a science fiction short story he had read in his previous life.
When humans first drove a spacecraft out of the solar system, in the eyes of more civilized alien creatures, humans were truly born.
But when humans gave up exploring the starry sky and the sea, they uploaded their consciousness to the cyber world and sealed themselves off on planets.
Alien observers announced with regret: Humanity has perished.
The practice of a sorcerer is so similar.
The powerful enemies in the meditation world are not the biggest obstacles to practice.
The real difficulty lies in being willing to let go.
Be willing to leave the meditation world that has made you a shining hero, and with great perseverance, force yourself to return to the gloomy reality and struggle to survive.
…
After Angie left, Alan rang the bell.
“Here I come!”
Tiger girl Leini came running in in a hurry.
Her big doe-like eyes peered over the bed.
I confirmed that there were no blood stains on the sheets, and I seemed quite disappointed.
"What are you looking at furtively?"
Alan gave her a sidelong look.
"I thought you were going to do it with Junior Sister... Hehehe! After you're done, call me up to wash the sheets."
Alan shook his head, too lazy to explain to this silly girl.
"It's Angie's birthday, I need to prepare a little gift."
"Leni, leave the secret realm now and go to the market."
"Yeah! What do you need me to buy for you?"
Renee took out a pencil and a small notebook and took notes carefully.
"Let's go to the flower shop and buy a bunch of roses first."
"Then go to the pastry shop and order a birthday cake."
Alan groaned and added the details.
"The cake should have elements of cats and bees, be cute, and have sixteen candles."
"Wow..." Renee swallowed as she wrote down her thoughts, "I want to eat cake too."
"What the hell are you eating!" Alan scolded her angrily, "How old are you? You're still so greedy! If you want to eat cake, buy it yourself!"
Renee pouted in grievance and said nothing.
Alan looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help but soften his heart and slowed down his tone a little.
"Leni, let me ask you, have you been obedient recently and used the magic stone to assist in your practice every day?"
"Yes, I have!"
"You're lying!" Allen slammed the table, "Where did you get so many magic stones?"
"The young lady gave me 30 yuan yesterday, saying it was this month's allowance, and I will get a share every month from now on!" Renee said angrily, "The young lady is so nice to me! Much better than you!"
"Wait a minute..." Allen was a little confused, "Where did a young mistress suddenly appear in our family? What on earth are you talking about?"
"What else can you do with your stupid brain?" Renee sneered, "Our young mistress is, of course, Sister Kelly!"
"You evil beast! You dare to scold your master, you don't want to work anymore, right?!"
Alan covered his chest, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack.
"Who told you to be so stupid?"
Renee came over to rub his chest and pat his back, and said with a smile:
"Although I am your dog, the young mistress just fed me a handful of magic stones. I have accepted her kindness, so I must show my gratitude and bark at you for her!"
"Come on, my lord! Don't be angry. I'll be sorry if you get sick from it!"
Renee's smiling expression was like a mother coaxing her child.
"Junior Brother Allen, just slap me twice to calm down!"
She actually lifted up her skirt and waited for him to spank her.
"Don't give me that!" Allen asked her in a deep voice, "Why do you call Kelly 'young lady'? "
"Kelly is the mistress of our family. If not the young mistress, then what is she?"
Renee smoothed her skirt and threatened the male host seriously.
"Let me be frank with you. If you dare to marry a woman other than the young mistress as your principal wife, don't blame me for secretly poisoning the food!"
"…Are you freaking sick?! That's my sister!!"
Alan covered his chest with his hands, he was really about to have a heart attack.
With trembling fingers, he took out the purse and stuffed it into Renee's hand.
"I don't want to see you, get out and buy something!"
"Are you stupid? You don't need so much money!" Renee shouted back with full force.
"You're the idiot!" Alan kicked her on the butt. "The remaining money is enough for you to eat cake until you die!"
“Yeah!!”
Leni jumped for joy and rushed over to kiss him.
"Get away! Stop licking my ears, they're so itchy..."
The master and his servant beat each other.
It took Alan a lot of effort to drive the tiger girl away.
…
Although Renee is disrespectful and doesn't know the rules of respect, she is still very reliable.
The bouquet of flowers and cake we bought were all very much to Alan's liking.
If she hadn't burped from time to time and her mouth was full of the taste of cream cake, Alan would have been unable to help but praise her for being hardworking and capable.
The moon is at its zenith and the night is gentle.
Alan held the cake and the bouquet and pushed open Angie's door.
There were red candles lit in the bedroom and the bed was covered with bright red sheets.
The festive and charming atmosphere has quite the mood of a bridal chamber.
Alan put the cake and the bouquet on the table.
He walked to the bed, gently lifted the curtain, and was stunned.
The woman wearing a snow-white backless wedding dress and kneeling on the bed was none other than General Eva!
"Angie...?" Alan called tentatively.
The woman on the bed slowly raised her head, her eyes full of affection.
"Dear, tonight...I am Eva."
The newly awakened 2nd level "Transformation Technique" was immediately mastered by the clever little sister.
Alan wanted to laugh, but felt sad.
Of course he knew that on this special night, Angie deliberately dressed up as Eva not for fun.
The nostalgia and sadness contained therein are even more worth savoring.
Alan sat on the bed, took her into his arms and caressed her.
"Angie, you are my little angel, with a heart as pure as crystal."
"My dear...I really like your sweet words."
Anqi's naked back trembled under his fingertips, and her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Honestly, it's the first time in my life... I'm a little nervous."
"If you praise me more and say a few more sweet words to me... maybe I won't be afraid anymore."
…
Time flies.
Only three months have passed in the outside world.
In the Silver Moon Secret Realm, a cycle of four seasons has been completed.
After a year of seclusion and practice, Alan achieved a breakthrough and entered the fourth level.
Current attributes: 34 physique, 27 agility, 46 spirit
Potential reserve: 6 points
The bone spur on the left hand evolves into a level 3 enchanted weapon.
In bone whip form, the length doubles to twenty meters!
Atavistic form, evolved to the fourth level.
The atavistic image is still the giant blue leopard.
Compared with before, the fangs are exposed, adding a bit of ferocity and reflecting the characteristics of an ogre wizard.
Its body also became larger, with a standing height of ten meters.
Equivalent to five times of Alan's normal form.
The atavistic leopard claws and fangs are equivalent to second-level enchanted weapons.
It always maintains a level difference from bone spurs.
The fourth level of regression, comprehensively improving attributes and defense.
Physical fitness +8!
Agility +8!
Spirit +8!
Natural armor +8!
Finally, after Renee, Kelly and Angel, Alan also enjoyed the spiritual benefits brought by atavism.
The bloodline has evolved to this level, and it has reached the pinnacle in terms of attribute bonus alone!
Allen's beastly armor was also enhanced, breaking the lower limit of defense and upgrading to a tier 2 silver enchanted weapon.
Combined with the soft bone and flesh armor, a tier 3 silver weapon is needed to break the defense.
The magic sword "Queen's Needle" of the Yabei Bee Clan is of this level.
It was rare for a fourth-level warlock to possess a weapon of the same level as the "Queen's Needle".
Fourth level atavism, with two special abilities.
"Rapid self-healing" means that external injuries automatically stop bleeding and heal, which is equivalent to a weakened version of "regeneration".
There are two main differences between the two.
First, it heals itself quickly and cannot regenerate severed limbs.
Second, if a vital part is injured, such as being pierced by a sword through the heart, the person cannot heal himself and dies on the spot.
Finally, Alan's poison wizard bloodline perfectly inherited the ogre wizard's signature talent - anti-magic barrier!
Currently, Allen's "Anti-Magic Barrier" is level 2.
Immune to most magical skills or 2nd-level magic that does not exceed level 2.
Anti-magic barrier + soft bone armor + beast armor + fast self-healing
Allen's all-round three-dimensional defense system is basically formed!
After the upgrade, Alan also learned two new spells.
The 3rd ring is "gasification of the body", where the flesh and blood body turns into steam.
4th level "Advanced Invisibility", fight in invisible state and will not be revealed!
…
On the first day of July, Alan left the secret realm temporarily to do three things.
First go back to Silver Moon Monastery to join in the celebration.
The heads of the three academies were all present, and Alan did not dare not to show his support.
What is the theme of the celebration banquet?
It’s actually no big deal.
He was nothing more than a handsome guy named Allen Panthers, who broke through the fourth level at the age of eighteen, breaking the record set by Master Shiva and becoming the youngest elder in the history of Silver Moon Monastery...that's all.
What a wasteful banquet he threw for such a small matter.
Allen felt that this was unnecessary.
I plan to take the opportunity of attending the banquet to persuade the three leaders to put an end to this bad habit, so as to prevent the young people from becoming complacent and thinking how great they are.
Otherwise, he will become the youngest head of the cat academy, or even the youngest dean, and he will be so proud!
There is no harm in appropriately suppressing the arrogance of young people.
At the celebration banquet, Alan met his old friends from the same school.
The three step-brothers and sisters, Adam, George and Maria, as well as "Koala" Baker and "Electric Pig" Hogg, all came to show their support.
Baker and Hogg had previously gone to Red Moon Island to carry out an assassination mission.
It took a lot of effort to complete the task, accumulate enough points, and enter the secret realm.
He felt very regretful when he learned that he missed the opportunity to rescue the swan girl and surrounded and killed the dungeon lord.
When toasting Alan, he sincerely changed his address to call him senior brother, and followed him from then on.
As top talents in the three academies, Baker and Hogg had a higher starting point than Allen.
The two of them are now at the late third level of cultivation, which is already very good.
However, compared with Allen, he has to admit defeat.
In addition to the level of cultivation, there is also a gap in status.
Baker and Hogg were his direct disciples.
Alan has become a "highly respected" elder of Panthers.
People feel refreshed when happy things happen.
The happiest person today is not Alan, but Master Shiva, the "White Tiger Martial Master".
As a teacher, she should be proud of having taught such a wicked apprentice.
When I’m happy, I can’t help but drink a few more glasses!
After the banquet, Alan carried the drunk Master Shiva back to the White Tiger Hall.
I left the drunk little cat to Renee's care and took some time to do the second thing.
Arriving at the long-missed Heritage Pavilion, Alan went straight to the top floor.
Now that he is an elder, he can finally receive the top-level potion formulas from the Silver Moon Monastery!
For example, the "sky-replenishing potion" that you've been longing for.
The Heaven-Replenishing Agent is only effective during the first injection, and can improve the inferior or medium bloodline qualifications by one level.
Allen has the Taotie system, which can use potential to achieve the same effect.
The heaven-replenishing potion is of no use to him.
The reason why he spent a lot of contribution points to the sect and exchanged for the expensive formula of the Heaven-Replenishing Potion was mainly for long-term considerations.
Among his friends and relatives, and disciples of his own martial arts school, there are many who have mediocre qualifications, but they all rely on hard work in practice to achieve half the result with twice the effort.
With the formula, Alan can make the Heaven-Replenishing Potion in batches.
Provide those relatives, friends and disciples who are not very talented but hardworking enough with a chance to change their destiny.
Allen also exchanged for some high-level martial arts awakening agents.
Level 3 "Air Dance".
Level 4 "Five Finger Fierce Bullet".
Level 4: Telepathy.
"Air Dance" is actually the 3rd level magic "Flying". Every time 1 point of magic power is consumed, the flight can be maintained for 1 minute.
All along, Allen had a wonderful expectation, always feeling that he could awaken the "art of flying".
If that silly girl Renee can do it, why can't I?
Unfortunately, reality is so cruel.
Warlocks with the same bloodline may not necessarily have the same spells awakened, as a lot of luck is involved.
Alan has been looking forward to awakening the "flying technique" since the early stage of the third level.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon.
Now that he has reached the fourth level, he still can't fly.
He was so tired of waiting!
He didn't want to wait any longer, so he simply exchanged for a bottle of "Air Dance" awakening agent and gave himself an injection!
Although injections have various side effects, at least they can make you fly.
He no longer dared to count on luck.
"Five Finger Bomb", a super invincible enhanced version of "Finger Wave".
Consumes 10 mana points and fires 5 "Finger Waves" at the same time, with a range of 10 times, and automatically tracks up to five targets.
At Allen's current level, "Finger Wave" is no longer enough.
"Five Finger Bullet" is just right for making up for the shortcomings of long-range attacks.
"Telepathy" can be divided into two functions.
The first is "telepathy", needless to say.
The second is "detecting thoughts".
Simply put, transform magic power into mental fluctuations and radiate them in all directions, monitoring and deciphering what the people around are thinking at this moment.
The mind-reading effect and radiation radius of "telepathy" are positively correlated with spiritual attributes.
With Alan's abnormally high mental attributes and the activation of "telepathy", anyone of the same level can basically have no secrets in front of him unless they have mental resistance.
However, his telepathy also has two weaknesses.
Firstly, it consumes 1 point of magic power every minute and cannot be turned on 24 hours a day.
Secondly, it requires a high level of mental concentration to maintain, without any distractions!
This means that once telepathy is activated, you can no longer cast other spells that require concentration.
Allen received three injections of awakening agents separately, which took three weeks.
"Air Dance", "Telepathy" and "Five Finger Bombs" were all awakened successfully.
During this period, the Ice Soul Palm was also cultivated to the great perfection realm.
When a martial art or magic is cultivated to a certain level and has sufficient proficiency, it will often trigger a system fusion prompt.
Didi——
"Do you want to spend 6 potential points to fuse the 1st level 'Thunder Wave' with the 5th level 'Ice Soul Palm' to deduce a 6th level new martial art?"
Alan looked at the system prompt and remained silent.
Based on the experience accumulated from previous fusion martial arts.
He concluded that the sixth-level martial arts skill formed by the fusion of Thunder Wave and Ice Soul Palm should have a configuration similar to "Thunder Explosion Wave".
The main difference is that it is more powerful and has ice attribute.
Is this martial art good?
It must be excellent!
However, Allen does not have any strong enemies to overcome at the moment.
I really can't bear to spend my only 6 remaining potential points on this .
After weighing the pros and cons, Allen decided not to rush into combining his martial arts.
It is wiser to reserve potential for unexpected situations.
If you encounter an invincible enemy in the future, it will not be too late to synthesize 6th-level martial arts before the battle.
After staying in the monastery for a week, Alan bid farewell to Master Shiva and Sister Lion and went home to visit his parents and inspect his territory.
In the height of July, the atmosphere in New Quint Town was also very hot.
This immigrant town, which was established less than two years ago, has developed into the most prosperous port city in the surrounding area.
In the past two years, residents of New Quint Town have occasionally returned to their hometown to visit relatives and tell them about their happy life on Silver Moon Island.
So word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
In the eyes of the folks in my hometown, the town of New Quint is like a paradise.
Quinte Island in particular has suffered great disasters in the past two years.
The entire island has become the territory of the Beast Cult.
Most of the people who did not board the ship with Allen at the beginning regretted it very much.
In order to avoid war and plague, batches of new immigrants fled their hometowns, crossed the ocean and came to the town of New Quint.
The town's population is constantly increasing, and now has more than 10,000 permanent residents.
In less than two years after the town was built, the population tripled!
When people are away from home, it is necessary to practice martial arts and keep fit in order to protect themselves.
As the town's population expanded, all kinds of businesses prospered.
The Panthers Martial Arts School opened by Allen is also doing a booming business.
Kelly and Angie go back to the martial arts gym once a week for instruction.
Teacher Sora is a permanent resident of the martial arts school and has accepted many female disciples, adding a touch of softness and beauty to the martial arts school, which originally has an overly masculine atmosphere.
Swan Cave, Dungeon, and Magic Stone Mine are operating stably.
Provide resources and financial security for Allen's foundation.
Everything looks fine.
This is the peaceful life that Allen wants.
Unfortunately, he couldn't enjoy it for long.
On the third day after returning home, Alan received an unexpected letter.
"Wind Signal Technique" brings news from afar.
The peaceful life was then disturbed.
The sender of the letter was signed by the Academic Affairs Office of the South Island Warlock Academy.
The content of the letter is full of official rhetoric in a pretentious tone.
At first glance, it is a template letter, with just the recipient's name and secret mark replaced.
At the beginning of this year, the two old enemies, the South Island Federation and the North Island Federation, officially went to war.
The warlock academies of the two major federations, the North and the South, were also drawn into the war.
Judging from the current situation, the South Island Federation is at a disadvantage.
Due to the needs of the war, the South Island Warlock Academy sent out letters to recruit students who were away from home to return to the country to participate in the war.
Allen was also among those called up.
Do you want to respond to the academy's call and return to join the war?
Alan fell into thought.
Given his current position in the Silver Moon Monastery, he can completely ignore the call-up letter from South Island College.
However, there are still people in the college whom he cannot let go of.
Mentor Pansen, Senior Sister Tanya, Senior Brother Tuffman...
Angel, Ferrin, Julie...
How is everyone?
The longing grew in his heart, unable to be cut off and difficult to sort out.
Two days later.
Alan settled his household affairs and said goodbye to his relatives, friends and teachers.
Riding on a griffin, I flew to the other side of the sea, to my long-lost hometown.
