Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Eight Times Devouring Power, Restoring Elemental Balance
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After playing with his sister for a while, Hughes soon returned to his room to meditate and cultivate.
He needed to stabilize his cultivation in the shortest time possible so that his body could withstand more elemental power.
At that time, he would refine three anti-magic stones and restore the balance of mana in his body.
When the magic power in his body reached balance for the second time, he would carry out the third elemental baptism to improve his physique, so that his body could withstand a greater amount of magic power.
After that, he would activate his magic cultivation and advance the water dragon spell from Tier 2 to tier 3 in one go.
During these few days of cultivation, he had a feeling that the amount of magic power required to advance the water dragon spell from Tier 2 to Tier 3 would be far more than before.
It was even more than the sum of the magic power required for the previous automatic upgrades!
It was far from what a Tier 2 Mage’s mana could support.
Even if his mana had already surpassed most tier 2 mages, it was impossible for him to have so much magic power to support the advancement of the Water Dragon Spell!
For this, he was willing take the risk and forcefully increase the level of the elemental baptism. He also increased the standard of the elemental baptism twice in a row.
Seven hours later, Hughes woke up from his meditation.
His mind sank. Hughes mobilized his spiritual power and began to check the changes in his body.
“As I expected, four times the level of an ordinary person’s tier 2 elemental baptism is my limit.”
“Next, I will have to refine three anti-magic stones. I hope my calculations are correct.”
In the anti-magic stone cultivation method, before each advancement, the cultivator had to refine the number of anti-magic stones equal to the tier.
One for the first tier, two for the second tier, and naturally three for the third tier.
Every time an anti-magic stone was refined, the swallowing ability of the anti-magic core in the mage’s body would be doubled.
Correspondingly, the conversion ability of the anti-magic core would also be doubled.
This was also the biggest drawback of the anti-magic stone cultivation method.
For most mages, the exponential increase in mana pumping would only result in one result, which was losing control of mana and the explosion of the soul.
However, Hughes was not afraid of these things. With his innate maximum level of spiritual power, the maximum capacity of his mana was much higher than that of an ordinary mage.
He also had the magic circuits in his body. When he could no longer accommodate the mana, he could transform them into pure elemental power through the anti-magic core to further etch the magic circuits carved in his body.
Hughes took out three anti-magic stones and poured mana into them. The anti-magic stones were instantly activated.
Then, Hughes began to refine the anti-magic stones with ease according to the anti-magic stone cultivation method.
A black stream of light lit up and went along Hughes’s body. With a whoosh, it entered the anti-magic stone that had already taken shape in his body.
A violent devouring power was generated in Hughes’s body. The surrounding elements frantically rushed into Hughes’s body.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound!
The balance of the elements in Hughes’s body was instantly broken.
The first to attack was the fire element.
As one of the five most basic elements, the fire element had an extremely powerful destructive ability.
The blazing fire element ran wild and roasted Hughes red!
However, the high temperature was not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that the cells would dry up due to the high temperature.
Fortunately, Hughes had already passed the second elemental baptism.
Moreover, the elemental baptism he endured was four times that of an ordinary mage.
The high intensity of the elemental baptism had strengthened Hughes’s physique to an insane degree.
It allowed him to forcefully withstand the impact of the fire element.
However, this was only the first wave of impact.
The impact of the fire element had just ended and the impact of the water element arrived.
The abundant water element made Hughes’s body instantly go wet from a dry state.
But it was not a good thing, because the process was repeated.
A huge amount of water elements rushed into Hughes’ body, and his body quickly swelled up.
The skin on his body became more and more sticky, as if someone had smeared it with snail’s mucus.
Then, the earth elements and wind elements also joined the battle, wrecking havoc inside Hughes’ body.
Fortunately, the magic circuit in Hughes’ body was working. The huge amount of water element was soon absorbed by the Magic Circuit of the Water Dragon Spell.
It greatly reduced the difficulty of maintaining the balance of the elements in Hughes’ body.
“Elemental Control!”
Hughes mobilized his magic power and instantly controlled the earth and wind elements in his body.
However, this process was not easy. Hughes’ mana was quickly consumed.
However, at this moment, the anti-magic core in Hughes’s body was activated again.
A huge amount of elemental power was converted into pure magic power by the anti-magic core, replenishing Hughes’s consumption.
As the magic power poured into his body, the earth and wind elements finally stopped struggling under the suppression of an even greater amount of magic power.
Using this opportunity, Hughes applied the anti-magic stone training method and used the anti-magic core to forcibly break the two elements in his body into the most basic atoms, rearranged them, and transformed them into the four major elements!
Five hours later, the balance of magic power in Hughes’s body was once again restored to its equilibrium state.
At this time, the night had already subsided, and the horizon was also suffused with an alluring blush.
Hughes, who had not slept the entire night, not only did not have the slightest bit of fatigue, but was also more energetic.
“I wonder what level of mana I have now.”
Hughes seemed to be deep in thought. After searching for a while, he found a magic testing device from his home.
This testing device was prepared for him by his father Norton. It could test the magic energy of a level-1 to level-3 cultivator.
On this, 1-10 points were regarded as level-1 mage, 10-50 points were regarded as level-2 mage, and 50-250 points were regarded as level-3 mage.
He poured mana into it, and the testing device was instantly activated.
In a flash, a bright red number appeared on the testing device’s panel.
It was 248 points!
Looking at the score on the magic test device, Hughes was in a good mood.
He opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Hughes stretched out his arms and breathed in the fresh air.
Ever since Hughes learned the contents of the edict issued by Napoleon VII.
Hughes had sensed the danger within.
In order to save his family, he had no choice but to speed up the progress of his cultivation and carry out the elemental baptism ahead of time.
Although carrying out the elemental baptism in advance would affect his cultivation potential, Hughes had no regrets.
To him, family was the most important thing.
He didn’t care about anything else.
He picked up the letter he had written yesterday and sent it to Norton’s door.
After knocking twice on the door, Hughes stuffed the letter into the crack.
..
Father, Audrey and I are going out to row. We’ll come back in the evening. Remember to set up the third element baptism array.
– Hughes.
