Chapter 8

Nightfall.

Chris continued to meditate in the wooden house.

Suddenly, he felt the magical elements of the world surging rapidly, and a clear and crisp sound was heard coming from his body.

“What’s going on? The magical elements in my body have gone out of control?”

Ever since Chris obtained the Body of Nature, his cultivation had been smooth-sailing, and he had never been out of control.

His fingers slightly outlined his surroundings to set up a Soundproof Magic Formation around him, cutting off the connection between the wooden house and the outside world.

At this moment, an increasing number of magic elements surrounded him as they approached him with joy.

Buzz!

A crisp sound suddenly came from inside his body.

The next second, Chris’ body was suddenly suspended in the air. He could see with his naked eyes the magic elements surrounding him as they frantically surged into his body, flowing into his limbs, muscles, and bones.

The power in Chris’ body was continuously tempered and solidified under the impact of the magic elements.

It was as if he was a piece of steel, constantly being compressed under the pressure of external forces, reaching the level of being tempered repeatedly.

Although he had the same feeling when he broke through to become a Sorcerer back then, it was not as intense as it was now. His body seemed to be torn apart by the impact of the magic elements. The difference compared to before was that his body became firmer.

This process lasted for half an hour.

Chris was still suspended mid-air when he suddenly felt a burning sensation between his brows.

A mysterious light flickered as if something was about to appear.

An ancient Mystical Rune gradually appeared, but he could tell from its looks that the rune was not complete.

As time passed, the second piece, third piece, and fourth piece…

Finally, these Mystical Runes were all displayed. They rotated a few times between his brows and gradually fused to become a single Magical Rune.

Suddenly, the surrounding magic elements seemed to have lost control and entered a Mystical Trap.

Chris felt the trap shook, and the Magic Energy in his body increased by more than ten times. Colorful dotted lines circulated in his body, connecting to his muscles and bones.

“I successfully grasped the Power of Laws as a Level 3 Sorcerer!”

Since Chris’ arrival at the Elder’s Altar, he would go to the Ancient Tree of Life during his free time to study the magic books that recorded precious notes and tips left by the elf ancestors.

It was carefully recorded that a mage would only be able to condense the Band of Law in their body after breaking through to an Archmage.

There was no record of a Sorcerer being able to condense the Band of Law in the entire history of magic.

“I wonder how much my Dark Magic and Life Magic will be strengthened with the Power of Laws?”

Chris left the wooden house alone with much curiosity.

The Power of Laws had powerful benefits. Not only did it have a bonus effect from the magic that was cast, but it was also not restricted by environmental factors.

A mage needed to rely on the magic elements stored in their body to resonate with the wandering magic elements in the world to release their magic when casting spells.

If one was a water mage, the resonance effect would be weakened in the desert thus the magic power cast would also be relatively weaker.

On the contrary, the power would also increase in a place where the Water Element gathered.

With the Power of Laws, there was no such disadvantage. The same magic effect could be cast at any moment and any place.

Soon, Chris arrived at a cave.

This place was accidentally discovered by Chris while he was strolling around.

The surroundings were covered by vines, and the guards would not usually come here. It was quite secluded and was a good place to experiment with magic.

Chris first tried a few basic magic, then Dark Magic, and Life Magic.

Sure enough, with the aid of the Power of Laws, the power of the magic being cast was not only much stronger, but the consumption was also greatly reduced. It was only one-tenth of what it used to need.

“No wonder the Ancient Tree of Life’s handbook said that a mage who has the Power of Laws in his body can be considered a true magic expert.”

With his current strength, his range of sensation was about fifty meters. As his strength increased, his range of sensation would become wider.

Chris looked at the distant sky and said in anticipation, “I wonder how wide the range of sensation would be when I reach Saint-level.”

Then, Chris continued to test a few large-scale spells in the cave before he prepared to leave in satisfaction.

At that moment, he heard the sound of some footsteps coming from outside.

“Could it be that my voice was too loud just now and attracted the guards?”

Chris frowned slightly and hid behind a huge rock.

Just as the Soundproof Magic Formation was set up, the footsteps that were approaching stopped.

“Eh? It’s not the guards?”

The person who came was a female elf. She wore light green clothes and was slowly walking into the cave.

Although the light at the entrance of the cave was dim, it still could not block her beautiful and proud figure.

As she took each step further into the cave, he could finally see her beautiful face with exquisite features as beautiful as a painting, and her snow-white skin. It was as if even the ultimate language in the world could not begin to describe this beautiful face.

“It’s her, the genius elf, Alice.”

Chris recognized her in a single glance.

All of the elves knew that she had reached Level 6 Sorcerer at the young age of 20 years old.

It was very obvious that she had not discovered Chris’ existence. She had only set up a simple Shielding Magic before she began her cultivation in the cave.

“Life Magic?”

Chris had been studying the Miracle of Life for the past few days. He had already recognized it the moment she began her meditation.

Because she was the next Saintess, Alice’s magic attributes had been kept strictly confidential, where the information was only known by the Elf Queen and a few elders.

The other elves’ knowledge about her was just limited to her beautiful appearance.

Other than a few large ceremonies within the community, ordinary elves would not have seen her often.

“Hmm? Is there something wrong with her Life Magic?” Chris had been studying the Miracle of Life for a long time thus he knew a thing or two.

When Life Magic was cast, it would give others a feeling as if everything was rejuvenated and full of vitality.

It should feel like the spring breeze, but Alice’s Life Magic gave others a stubbornly strong and overbearing aura that completely went against the essence of Life Magic.

Just as he was still feeling puzzled, he suddenly noticed the white electric arc around her fingertip.

“How is this possible? How can a person carry two types of Magic Elements?”

The electric arc just now belonged to Lightning Element Magic. The general knowledge was that ordinary mages could only absorb one type of Magic Element. Even if it was a branch from the same type of Magic Element, the two would still not be compatible.

This was the knowledge made known across the continent.

A mage who wanted to fuse two types of magic was either a genius or a lunatic!
