Chapter 92: Lightning Pool Training

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As Lin Ming had already maxed out his proficiency, his figure was stable despite the extreme speed. Not only could he soar into the air, but he could also control it with ease. Of course, it also meant massive depletion of his magic powers—Lin Ming could feel the constant consumption of his energy. Lucky for him, he had abundant magical powers to spare.

After Lin Ming’s breakthrough to Tier 6, he savagely compressed his magic elements into the granular state. Therefore, although the Air Blast Spell was constantly exhausting his powers while he was in the air, it didn’t strain him too much.

“Fiery Curtain!” he chanted, casting the defensive spell he had just learned. Its proficiency was Level 8—it was notable that the complete collection of the Dazzling Dragon Spell would only have reached Tier 8 max—as expected, Gandulf’s spells were of the finest.

As the Fiery Curtain emerges, it had surrounded Lin Ming with a thick layer of Fire Magic. Not only would it not block his line of sight and disrupt his attacks, but it would buff his attacks as they passed through the barrier. There were more sorts of usage to the spell—Lin Ming was impressed with the extent of Gandulf’s magic.

While Lin Ming basked in the pleasure of soaring in the air, his magic power erupted once again. This time, he flew higher, undeviatingly overlooking the land where he lived. Once again, he landed on the ground after his euphoria passed.

“Fiery Phoenix Spell, Fiery Curtain, Air Blast Spell!” He closed his eyes and gazed at the three spells that he had already maxed out. In two days, he managed to learn three powerful spells from three different domains. That was enough for him to be thrilled—especially the two skills he had mastered today. His Tier 6 breakthrough seemed trivial compared to this achievement.

“Congratulations, Master!” Bai Han had sensed Lin Ming’s excitement as he appeared in front of Lin Ming to congratulate him, but he wasn’t just here to flatter him. “You have only entered the Spirit Pool on the second floor of the Stupa, Master. There is more to explore. Are you sure you don’t want to check it out?”

Without further consideration, Lin Ming entered the second floor of the Stupa. Since Bai Han had mentioned it, there must be other surprises awaiting him which would surpass the Spirit Pool. Otherwise, Bai Han wouldn’t have given him the cue.

The second floor of Stupa was wide. Lin Ming closed his eyes and took in everything. And in his observation, the Spirit Pool was at the northernmost part. Something else was dazzling at the end of the south.

“What’s that?” Lin Ming frowned—he understood why Bai Han made this suggestion. With telekinesis, he teleported to the location in mind. And in front of him, the thundering was incessant.

“This is…” As Lin Ming stared at the flashing lightning, his brows pulled together.

“Master, this is the Lightning Pool!” Bai Han’s voice came behind Lin Ming as he explained. “In the northernmost lies the Spirit Pool specially prepared for mages, and in the southernmost lies the Lightning Pool for physical training. And because the damaged area in the Stupa was at the north, the Spirit Pool was corrupted, so its effects weren’t as dense. However, the damage didn’t tamper with that of the Lightning Pool. Its content is raw and original.”

“You mean the Lightning’s Pool effects are going to surpass that of the Spirit Pool?” Lin Ming asked. Of course, he knew what Bai Han meant, but at this instant, he felt uneasy. He was a mage—the Spirit Pool that was supposed to help in magical growth was damaged, but there was no issue with the Lightning pool used to forge the body.

“Master, you could use the Lightning Pool to train your physical body. It would be a lot easier,” Bai Han said. “Its refinement would reach every cell of your body.”

Using close combat with magical beasts to stimulate Lin Ming’s potential was effective. However, that of chopping down trees wasn’t as good. Not to mention in the future, close combat with magical beasts would increase actual combat experience only.

“The deeper you advance into the pool, the stronger the effect would be.” Bai Han spoke from Lin Ming’s side.

Lin Ming nodded. “I’ll give it a try.” Although he was a mage, he could not give up such a rare opportunity to train his physique.

Bai Han watched Lin Ming enter the pool. Lin Ming’s body had become remarkably powerful after passing the second stage of recognition. Then, in close combat with the magical beasts, he had fully stimulated his body’s potential. Therefore, his current psychical body could withstand the surface power from the Lightning Pool.

Lin Ming had just entered the pool when he felt the numbness crawling up his body, bringing intense pain from his core. He could no longer withstand the pain, and it was hard to stand up straight, even. He let out a deep breath—if he had not fully activated his body’s potential, he would not have been able to withstand it, even if this was only the outermost area.

“Forget it!” Lin Ming exhaled another breath and relaxed his body in the pool, lying with his back.

Everything went into a complete uproar—as Lin Ming felt the numbness, his body went limp. Although the pain was intense, it was bearable. For the entire night, Lin Ming remained in the pool.

The next day, Lin Ming stood on his feet unsteadily and walked out. An entire night in the pool did not leave any charring or marks. The surface of his body was now shimmering—he had become even more powerful.

Lin Ming paced out of the Stupa—he knew that one night was the limit of what he could endure. If he continued to stay, he might not be able to walk away safely.

“Master.” Lin Ming greeted Gandulf in front of the door.

“Did you memorize well the two spells I taught you yesterday?” Gandulf spoke. He thought it was already good enough if Lin Ming could recite the details based on his monstrous behavior. After all, the two spells were complicated and hard to understand.

“Yes, I remember them,” Lin Ming nodded and replied.

“That’s good. Do you have any questions to ask?” Gandulf asked again. Now, he was going to play both roles of teaching as well as solving confusion.
