14: Chapter 14 Spell Creator
Lin Fan could tell at a glance that this magic snake was also a common grade magic beast.
Why it could kill a giant rabbit of the same level in one strike, the answer was obvious...
An ambush, plus it was a natural-born hunter that fed on other beasts and was well-versed in the art of the hunt.
Furthermore, even within the same level, there was a significant gap in strength between magic beasts.
The magic snake seemed completely unaware of the uninvited guest in the tree, intent only on crawling toward the giant rabbit's corpse.
It opened its small mouth, but its jaw expanded to an unnatural degree, taking a fierce bite out of the rabbit meat.
The corners of Lin Fan's eyes, hidden behind the mask, twitched slightly.
"Since you are determined to take a life, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He whispered to himself, a silver-white light flashing in his eyes once again.
The Single-Horned Magic Snake was a huge threat to both humans and other magic beasts.
Lin Fan felt no psychological burden in killing it.
Ten dazzling silver-white star points appeared behind him once more, condensing into two Star Patterns in less than a second.
A surge of majestic silver-white energy poured into his limbs and bones; he prepared to cast a Tier 2 Mage space spell!
"Space Bullet!"
Lin Fan let out a low shout, extended a finger, and aimed it at the Single-Horned Magic Snake on the ground.
Swish!
A sharp sound of breaking air rang out.
An invisible energy bullet shot out from his fingertip, flying rapidly toward the magic snake.
Space Bullet is a core-level spell that can condense an invisible projectile with a strength equivalent to the caster's mental power.
Not only was it difficult to detect, but its speed was also as fast as lightning.
The Space Bullet fired by Lin Fan crossed the spatial barrier in an instant, arriving above the magic snake's head.
Boom!
The Space Bullet pierced through the Single-Horned Magic Snake's body without any resistance, smashing into the ground with undiminished force.
After a loud bang, the ground shook violently, as if a meteorite had crashed down.
Killed in one strike!
The magic snake didn't even have time to react before it died completely.
This attack had come too suddenly and was too powerful!
The moment the magic snake was killed.
A line of prompts quietly appeared before Lin Fan's eyes.
[Ding, mission complete, gained 10 experience points!]
[Detected that the host has completed their first kill; the system grants a novice gift pack.]
[Congratulations to the host for learning the skill: Spell Creator!]
[Spell Creator: The host can consume experience points to create brand-new spells related to their own elements.]
[The higher the spell intensity, the more experience points required; the specific value is determined by the system!]
Lin Fan: "..."
Looking at the system prompt, his mind went blank for a moment.
He read it three times before he dared to believe his own eyes.
It wasn't until the fourth confirmation that he was finally certain.
This was not a hallucination!
An indescribable ecstasy swept through his entire body.
He wished he could shout out loud and dance with joy.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was so excited he almost shed tears.
What did this mean?
It meant that the system had granted him the privileges of a Saint Mage ahead of time!
One had to know.
In this world's magic system, the number of spells a mage of a different realm could master was strictly limited.
Take the space element as an example:
First-Order Mage realm.
Can only master one spell.
That is, the Telekinesis Control he just used.
Must advance to the Tier 2 Mage realm.
To learn two other spells:
Space Barrier for defense, and the Space Bullet that killed the magic snake just now.
Afterward, only upon breaking through to the Tier 3 Mage realm can one master another new spell.
Space Rend.
Simply put.
Before advancing to Saint Mage, a space mage can only master this set of six basic spells that have been passed down for a long time.
Only upon reaching the Saint Mage realm can one unlock the authority to create new spells!
As for why such a restriction existed, Lin Fan did not know.
He only knew that ever since magic was born on Blue Star, this had been an immutable iron law.
No matter what element a mage possessed, they could only use those established spells that had long been passed down.
Only powerhouses at the Saint Mage level and above had the qualifications to create new spells and decide whether to pass them on to the younger generation.
But the problem was.
Once promoted to Saint Mage, who would waste effort creating those low-tier spells that were useless to them?
And because of this.
The number of spells that mages below the Saint Mage level could master had never increased for thousands of years.
But now, this skill called "Spell Creator" had allowed him to break this iron law directly!
He no longer had to wait until the Saint Mage realm to create his own exclusive spells!
This also meant that among mages of the same realm, no one could master more spells than him!
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.
Lin Fan immediately summoned the system panel, and the light screen instantly appeared before his eyes.
[supreme path system (Glitch Version)]
[Host: Lin Fan]
[Level: 8]
[Experience required for upgrade: 200/100 (Glitch)]
[Realm: Tier 2 Mage Initial Stage]
[Elemental Attributes: Space, Lightning]
[Special Abilities:]
[Dual-Element Constitution: The host can control two elemental attributes simultaneously.]
[Void Walk: The host can travel through the void between two fixed locations (cannot change direction during travel); the travel distance depends on the host's current strength.]
[Aura Camouflage: The host can conceal their true realm and disguise themselves as any level lower than their current realm.]
[Spell Creator: The host can consume experience points to create brand-new spells related to their own elements. The higher the spell intensity, the more experience points required; the specific value is determined by the system!]
[Special Items:]
[omniscient mask: Masters Master-level Appraisal Technique, can conceal oneself, and avoid all detection.]
[deterrence pendant: Can release the pressure of a powerful mage; the pressure level is two major realms higher than the target object!]
[undying robe: Can withstand a full-strength blow from any powerhouse below the Saint Mage level.]
Lin Fan's eyes shone brightly.
The skill was right there, clearly visible, and ready to be used at any time!
He immediately looked at his experience point panel:
Current experience is 200 points, enough to level up twice in a row!
Before leaving the city, he had 190 experience points; after killing the Single-Horned Magic Snake, he had exactly 200 points.
Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh; the efficiency of hunting magic beasts to grind experience was indeed much higher than burying his head in books.
If he relied on reading, he would have to finish an entire book to accumulate 10 experience points.
"Although hunting magic beasts is risky, the efficiency is indeed much higher than reading."
"And since I am currently operating near the border, I shouldn't encounter any high-level magic beasts."
Lin Fan thought to himself.
The two magic beast corpses on the ground were the best proof.
They were all weak common grade ones.
The magic beasts in this area shouldn't be very strong.
While thinking.
His gaze fell back onto the new skill and the 200 experience points, and he became conflicted.
Should he use these experience points to level up and improve his own realm?
