The Witcher starts by getting the inspiration panel

Chapter 58 Pre-competition Improvement (for further reading)

"Next, William Bennings!" This time, Professor Ivan, the black-robed wizard, called William's name.

At this time, the many freshmen who were talking about the green-haired girl's combat power gradually calmed down and began to watch the ring.

I saw William with a calm face, dressed in black tight leather armor, with two swords on his back, and walked lightly onto the ring.

Before that, apprentices with formal knight strength, including Andrea and Davos, were all full-body knight armor.

Theoretically speaking, thick knight armor is the best equipment match for archers!

But since William dared to wear light armor, he must have something to rely on!

Immediately, Li Cha's face darkened, and he began to pay attention.

Because in the previous first round, the freshmen's opponent was only a skeleton warrior.

This allowed some good players among the freshmen to defeat each other in a few strokes, and the relative strength could not be seen at all.

This time, it will be different after the opponent is replaced by the undead trio. The difficulty increases linearly, so that almost every freshman will more or less expose some of their own information.

"Start!" As soon as the black-robed wizard finished speaking, William rushed towards the undead trio like a gust of wind!
Li Cha's pupils shrank, and he secretly said, "The speed is so fast!"

William's charging speed was at least twice as fast as that of Davos in full body armor!
I saw a figure rushing towards the skeleton archer, almost leaving an afterimage. Although the skeleton warrior and the skeleton guard were trying to stop them, they were easily parried or dodged by William.

After cleverly turning around, William came to the skeleton archer's flank, and the steel sword in his right hand pierced the soul fire in his eye socket. The skeleton archer was not stupid, and quickly retreated to avoid it.

But when the skeleton archer started to dodge backwards, William pulled out a silver rapier with his left hand, as fast as thunder and lightning, piercing the skull of the skeleton archer with one blow!
At this time, the skeleton archer discovered that it was William's other sword that killed it!

The green soul fire in the skeleton archer's eye sockets gradually extinguished, and the entire skeleton was scattered all over the place and gradually dissipated. It seemed that he had returned to the world of the undead!
The rest of the battle will become garbage time!

After a while, the Skeleton Warrior and Skeleton Guardian were all easily dealt with by William.

"William Bennings, pass!" Professor Ivan glanced at William, seemingly thoughtful.

"Wow! It's really William who reserved the chief position! Cut melons and vegetables and killed the tricky undead trio!" A freshman seemed to be a diehard fan of William, so he began to reserve the chief seat for William .

"It's great, but it's not certain that I can win the chief! The green-haired girl Ophelia just now, I don't think she is inferior to William." Another boy argued, the green-haired girl Beautiful and powerful, it is easy to gain the favor of the opposite sex in this age group.

"I also think William has the best chance, but Ophelia is also very strong! At present, the strongest should be William and the green-haired girl, and Andrea, Davos, and Richard!" A boy analyzed it logically.

"Although Li Cha's archery is very powerful, it is also easy to be targeted. As long as the opponent is wearing heavy knight armor, his archery is useless!

So I think Richard should still be inferior to Andrea and Davos.

In Li Cha's case, probably ranked fifth at most! "A fat boy said seriously.

"."

After the second round of assessment was completed, Professor Yiwen, the black-robed wizard, announced on the spot that a total of 31 freshmen had qualified to participate in the qualifying competition, and the qualifying competition would begin tomorrow.

At that time, the qualifying match will still adopt the knockout system, and there will be two-two duels after the draw!
If you lose, you will be disqualified, if you win, you will be promoted, and the round-robin system will not be adopted until the top four are determined.

During the game, any potions, witchcraft props, alchemy products and contracted creatures are still not allowed.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Cha began to think about today's battle experience and what he saw and heard!
Li Cha checked his combat witchcraft list:

Rodrigue Meditation (mastery 11%, special effect: primary energy-saving spellcasting, secret technique: secondary mental shock)

Shadow Grasp (Adept 34%)

Dark Elemental Shield (Adept 28%)

Bone Armor (Proficient 47%)

Slow (9% mastery)

Manipulate skeletons (16% proficient)

Weakness (entry 24%)

Spiritual guidance (entry 33%)

That's right, the last two new zero-level witchcrafts were all learned by Li Cha in the past one month.

Although he already had experience in many other witchcrafts, without using the inspiration panel, he could only get started with these two zero-level witchcrafts in more than a month.

Now Li Cha looked at the remaining 3200 energy points. Considering the strength of William and the green-haired girl is quite good, it can even be said to be a bit tricky!Therefore, he plans to improve again, which can be regarded as an extra bargaining chip for tomorrow's qualifying match!
At present, Li Cha's mental power is only 8.9. In addition to being forced to keep about 1 point of basic mental power so as not to fall into a faint, Li Cha can also freely use 7.9 standard units of mental power.

In terms of combinations, Li Cha can easily perform three zero-level witchcraft, such as choosing a witchcraft combination in a battle: dark element shield + slow spell + shadow grip.

Regardless of the need to consume extra mental power for witchcraft changes, roughly 3+2+3 mental power is needed, a total of about 8 points of mental power, but don't forget that Li Cha has the optimization effect of primary energy-saving spellcasting, so it only needs 7.2 One standard unit of mental power can complete the above-mentioned three zero-level witchcraft releases.

If it is used in the battle: dark element shield + slowness + weakness spell combination, it will be easier, only need to consume 3+2+2, a total of 7 points of spiritual power, after optimization only consumes 6.3 A standard unit of mental power.

But in this case, he still has 7.9-6.3 mental power left, which is still 1.6 standard units of mental power, and he has not maximized his combat power.

Li Cha took another look at the newly learned spiritual guidance technique (33% entry level), which is an auxiliary zero-level witchcraft.

[Spiritual Guidance: Spiritual guidance for the witchcraft cast by the caster, the consumption of spiritual power is proportional to the degree of change and distance]

Don't look at this as an auxiliary zero-level witchcraft, but almost every apprentice wizard will gradually learn this witchcraft. Although it consumes more mental power, it ensures the hit rate of witchcraft.

For witchcraft without the guidance of spiritual power, the hit rate will be significantly reduced when encountering dodge or extremely fast-moving enemies. Therefore, after reaching the second-level wizard apprenticeship, apprentices will begin to learn this auxiliary witchcraft.

And the first-level wizard apprentices may not necessarily learn this witchcraft, because the total amount of mental power is limited at the first level, and they are new to witchcraft, and the concept of witchcraft hits is not so clear.

If Li Cha hadn't spent a lot of magic stones and points on many fee-paying courses, he might have to wait until he is a second-level wizard apprentice to understand and take the initiative to learn this witchcraft!

Li Cha thought about it, and decided to upgrade the control level of Mental Power Guidance and Weakness Technique first. After all, the three levels of entry, superficial and proficient consume less energy points, and the improvement rate is large, which is the most cost-effective.

[It is found that the host is practicing zero-level witchcraft spiritual guidance, and the spiritual guidance is an auxiliary witchcraft. It is recommended that the host cooperate with other witchcraft to practice together. 】

Huh!Li Cha was very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it is also true that he can only conduct spiritual guidance after he has released an offensive witchcraft.

Therefore, he silently recited the Weakness Technique in his heart.

[It is found that the host is practicing zero-level witchcraft weakness and spiritual guidance, is/is it consuming energy to gain inspiration for practicing the above two witchcrafts? 】

Li Cha thought for a while, and after dragging the slider to 1200 points, he directly chose "Yes!"
