Chapter 670: 214. Hidden World Wizard_2
After Noland Lee completed the Passive Deconstruction on her, he received a reward of 61,000 energy points, and his “Shaping Magic” level increased by 1, now at level 8.
During the duel with her, Noland innovatively used his ten fingers as casting media. This was a casting method he came up with after mastering “Magic Control Mastery.”
Noland couldn’t do this before, but after getting familiar with the flow of magic energy within his body, he could now precisely arrange the route of magic energy.
Given time, counting both fingers and toes, he would be able to cast 20 “Death Two Fingers” simultaneously.
Of course, the image of casting spells with his toes was too “beautiful,” so Noland had no plans in that direction for now.
After defeating Eve Mastin, he instantly killed the Tide Spy and received a reward of 156,000 energy points.
Apart from these energy points, questions like “Where did the Tide Spy bury the poison bomb?” and “Why did the Tide Spy choose Fagen as a partner?” were also answered in the memory fragments obtained by Noland.
The soul contract between Noland and Selena included the transfer of this information.
As the price for obtaining knowledge and information, Selena would have to endorse all Noland’s legal actions in the future. Not to mention cheering and waving flags, she would at least have to express her support for Noland in written words.
In this way, Noland can put the blame for many unknown information sources on Selena’s head. Accordingly, Selena must strictly keep all Noland’s secrets according to the soul contract requirements and deal with all doubts properly.
With this contract in place, Noland can just indulge himself legally on the Suman Archipelago in the future.
As long as he doesn’t violate the laws of the Ulnas Circle, he can go full throttle, step on the gas, and crazily exploit any high-efficiency and legal ways to get what he wants, without any worries.
This kind of life has always been what Noland wanted. Thank you, Miss Selena Williams, for making this dream come true.
After checking tonight’s system message, Noland opened his Personal Panel.
[Soul Strength] 4102
[Energy Points] 221233/72 (40+32)
[Energy Reserve] 120,000 points
He ate and drank at the banquet, consumed magical cuisine, and gained 120,000 energy points.
He passively deconstructed Eve Mastin and got over 60,000 points.
He passively deconstructed the Tide Spy and received nearly 160,000 energy points.
Before entering the guest room and meeting the imposter butler, he used the magic trinkets in the magic pouch to get energy points, and the energy reserve decreased. These energy points were used by him to deconstruct the Six-Ring Spirit Wizard.
He consumed over 100,000 energy points while deconstructing Selena in the magic car.
The soul fragments collected from the corpse of the Tide Spy were about 140 points.
When drafting the soul contract, he consumed more than 300 points of Soul Strength.
Adding the “Soul Perception” function to the soul contract consumed 1,000 points of Soul Strength.
The range of “Soul Perception” is related to the “Spirit” attribute value of the contracting parties, taking the higher “Spirit” value of the two to calculate.
Selena’s “Spirit” value is 299 points, so the range of “Soul Perception” between Noland and her is 309 kilometers, that is, 299 kilometers plus the inherent 10 kilometers of “Soul Perception.”
Considering the energy points inventory, Noland entered a state of energy explosion and slightly insufficient reserves.
He urgently needs to use the “Strong Metal Fusion” meditation method to convert energy points into basic attributes.
Speaking of the meditation method, Noland suddenly remembered something.
His success tonight is inseparable from his “First Rank Wizard” status.
Or rather, it’s inseparable from the loophole in Ulnas Circle’s laws.
According to the current rules, Noland’s “Spirit” value is 40 points. When detecting it with a spell, it would reflect 40 points of light. He is a standard First Rank Wizard.
But if divided by actual combat power, he would undoubtedly be close to a Sixth Ring Battle Wizard.
It is this mismatch between the legal hierarchy and actual combat strength that creates the opportunity for Noland to exploit the “Life and Death Duel.”
If one day the Ulnas Circle amends Law No. 1 and changes the rules of “Life and Death Duel” from “High Ring Level Wizards cannot challenge Low Ring Level Wizards” to “High Combat Power Wizards cannot challenge Low Combat Power Wizards,” then Noland won’t be able to exploit the loophole.
However, Noland reckoned it would be difficult for the Ulnas Circle to make such changes.
A wizard’s combat power is hard to measure.
After all, this world is not a game world, and there is no such thing as “combat power 5.”
So, Noland concluded that he could continue exploiting the loophole for the foreseeable future.
As a First Rank Wizard, he can use the name of the Life and Death Duel to punish those who are, in fact, Wizard Criminals, or kill enemies lurking among ordinary humans.
As long as the laws don’t change, his “table-turning” actions can continue.
Keeping his rank at the first level is easy. Just avoid practicing meditation methods that increase “Spirit.”
What Noland cares about is how to possess the strength of a Tenth Ring Battle Wizard without increasing his “Spirit” value.
The combat power provided by the 100-level “Death Two Finger” is no longer enough. Even if he uses his fingers and toes to cast it, he would be at most equivalent to a Sixth Ring Battle Wizard.
