Chapter 443 - 318: Level 4 Arcanist, Soaring Strength

Chapter 443: Chapter 318: Level 4 Arcanist, Soaring Strength

This was a stretch of ocean far from any shipping lanes. Though not too far from the port, it was remarkably calm.

At this very moment, a merchant ship was moored on these waters.

Wu Liangchen sat in the captain’s cabin, eating as he observed the surrounding sea.

The spread on the table was sumptuous.

Although the ship had previously docked, its cold storage was still packed with ingredients.

There were even many precious, all-natural ingredients among them.

This food was originally reserved for Xiong Tianzong and his men, but now it had become Wu Liangchen’s spoils of war.

Song Ling’Er watched quietly from the side. Whenever Wu Liangchen finished a dish, she would immediately step forward, clear the empty plate, and replace it with a fresh one.

Wu Liangchen didn’t stop her. He knew the girl was full of gratitude and had been wanting to do something to repay him.

Now that they finally had a chance to breathe, he let her be.

As food continuously entered his stomach, Wu Liangchen’s depleted Life Fire began to rapidly recover.

His Qi and Blood were replenishing so quickly that a faint mist began to steam from his entire body. His once-gaunt frame gradually grew more robust.

Song Ling’Er watched this scene, her face filled with adoration.

In her mind, Wu Liangchen was an omnipotent god, sent specifically to save her.

Finally, after he had consumed what would be a month’s worth of food for an ordinary person, two lines of text suddenly appeared before Wu Liangchen’s eyes.

[Life Fire: 2 wisps]

[Root of Magic has been obtained]

Along with these two notifications, Wu Liangchen felt the memories of Luo Qifeng stored in his mind completely break down and merge with his own.

From that moment on, Luo Qifeng’s soul power was thoroughly integrated into Wu Liangchen, the two becoming one.

If before Wu Liangchen had to actively recall memories of Luo Qifeng, they were now part of his own instincts.

’So this is the Root of Magic...’ A strange light flashed in Wu Liangchen’s eyes as he gently clenched his fist.

In an instant, a layer of frost covered the food in front of him.

Not only that, but the frost spread rapidly, encasing the entire table in ice in the blink of an eye.

Then, with a series of CRACKING sounds, the table disintegrated into countless tiny ice crystals.

Song Ling’Er, watching from the side, was left dumbfounded by this near-miraculous scene.

Wu Liangchen, however, was not yet satisfied.

Through Luo Qifeng’s memories, he understood how to use the Root of Magic.

To put it plainly, the Root of Magic was a medium for altering the external world through the power of one’s spiritual sense.

As the saying goes, a persistent thought will inevitably create an echo.

A person’s Spiritual Power is immense; ordinary people simply don’t know how to wield it.

The Root of Magic was like a harmonic amplifier, converting one’s spiritual sense into a wave that could influence the external world, thereby altering reality and accomplishing feats that seemed miraculous to ordinary people.

And from that single tentative test, Wu Liangchen understood that his Magic power had already reached level four.

Although it hadn’t reached the level five Luo Qifeng possessed in life, it was still a terrifyingly high number.

After all, Wu Liangchen had no prior foundation in this art. To reach such a height immediately after integrating the Root of Magic was enough to shock the world.

However, Wu Liangchen also understood that his own foundation was the reason for his smooth progress.

After advancing to the rank of Grandmaster and successfully Opening Veins, his spiritual sense had already become extraordinary due to the deductive support of the Ten Thousand Laws Tripod.

Furthermore, the subsequent fusion with Luo Qifeng’s soul was conducted via the Ten Thousand Laws Tripod, ensuring that none of the power was wasted and was fully integrated into Wu Liangchen’s own soul.

The combination of these two factors meant that as soon as his depleted Life Fire was replenished and his Qi and Blood returned to normal, Wu Liangchen immediately possessed the strength of a Level 4 Magic Adept.

Not only that, but Wu Liangchen discovered his understanding of fist techniques, weaponry, and even his own body had reached a completely new level.

Both his strength and reaction speed had improved by leaps and bounds.

’Did I... break through again?’

At this thought, Wu Liangchen’s heart surged with excitement, and he immediately opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Wu Liangchen] [Age: 19]

[Life Fire: 2 wisps]

[Star-Swallowing Meridian Opening Skill (Mastery 834/1000)]

[Hundred Beasts Facing Heaven Stance (???)]

[Eight-Step Wind-Chasing Fist (???)]

[Sun-Chasing Archery Skill (???)]

[Jingzhe Blade Technique (???)]

[Golden Body Cross Training Skill (Mastery (???))]

[Root of Magic (lv4)]

[Opening Veins (90%)]

Just as he expected, aside from the Star-Swallowing Meridian Opening Skill, which had yet to reach its peak, all his other Martial Arts skills were maxed out.

His progress in his Martial Arts Realm had taken a huge leap forward, bringing him directly to ninety percent.

Moreover, Wu Liangchen had a hunch that it wouldn’t be long before he could successfully break through the Opening Veins stage and enter the Divine Sight Realm.

Previously, Wu Liangchen knew little about the Divine Sight Realm, having only picked up some rumors after arriving in the Alliance.

Now, however, things were different. Besides being a Level 5 Magic Adept, Luo Qifeng also possessed a deep understanding of Martial Arts Cultivation.

Therefore, Wu Liangchen now understood exactly how terrifying the Divine Sight Realm was—so much so that those who reached it were revered as "Martial Monarchs," even in the technologically advanced Alliance.

The so-called "Divine Sight" was a realm one could only hope to touch after completely clearing all meridians, refining every muscle, bone, and inch of skin, and even tempering the internal organs and bone marrow until the physical body reached its absolute limit.

In Buddhist terms, it meant the body was free of all hindrances, a precious vessel cultivated to a flawless, "leak-proof" state.
