Chapter 70 Cutting Water
As Zelier pondered, the mage assessment in the arena had already begun.

Ruili took a deep breath and began to mobilize the magic power in his sea of ​​consciousness, outlining one spell structure after another.

The first spell, Fireball.

The second spell, Water Ball.

The third spell is Ice Spike.

Zellir pursed his lips.

These are all spells I've already analyzed...

Let me see something new, Riri.

The fourth spell, Rock Shot!
As Riri finished casting his spell, three rock projectiles formed by highly compressed soil and gravel condensed in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, Ruili sent the three rock projectiles hurtling out like miniature meteorites.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three consecutive slams left a noticeable dent in the ground, sending stone chips flying everywhere.

Oh!
Upon seeing this magic, Zelier's eyes lit up.
It's similar to Cone of Cold, but Cone of Cold can only release one ice spike at a time, while Rock Shot can release three at once.

Although the ice explosion effect is missing, the sheer number of them makes up for it, allowing them to be used when suppressing enemy fire.

not bad.

The fifth spell, Illumination.

The sixth spell, Stone Wall!
Ruili clapped his hands together, and the ground began to tremble.

With a "crackling" sound, a rough stone wall, several tens of centimeters thick and about two meters long and wide, rose up from the ground!

Hiding behind this stone wall, I felt much more at ease.

Zellier nodded slightly.

This is also a very practical magic.

If I had known Stone Wall when facing the Giant Winged Bat, I think I would have been much more at ease, effectively defending against the enemy's ranged attacks and stabilizing the front line for my teammates.

In narrow terrains such as caves, it can also be used to block roads in critical moments.

The seventh spell, Cyclone!
This time, Ruili released his own target, not elsewhere, but right beneath his feet.

A rapidly rotating stream of air quickly formed, causing his robes to flutter loudly.

With a light leap, Ruili jumped three or four meters high, as if he had broken free from the constraints of gravity.

After reaching the highest point, Riley controlled the remaining cyclone and gently and slowly descended back to the ground, the whole process going smoothly and effortlessly.

This magic also brought Zellir quite a surprise.

A very good functional spell; it allows you to easily traverse complex terrain and enhances mobility.

Furthermore, increasing the magic output might be able to blow away some small monsters, thus achieving a control effect.

The eighth spell, Wind Blade.

The ninth spell: Entangling Vines!

Beneath the stone wall that Ruili had previously created, several tough green vines broke through the soil, quickly climbing and wrapping around the stone wall, binding it tightly in just a few seconds.

It's also a very useful control spell.

The tenth spell, Frostbite!
As usual, Riley chose the stone wall he had created as his target.

After he finished accumulating energy, a layer of ice crystals silently appeared on the surface of the stone wall, and it continued to spread, quickly covering most of the area.

Although it comes with some frost damage, its main effect is still control.

After unleashing all ten level-two single-layer spell structures, Riley's performance earned a small round of applause from the stands.

Zellier nodded in satisfaction.

He witnessed five new spells at once, which would save him at least a dozen gold coins' worth of scrolls, all of which would be useful during his adventures. Below the Spell Evolution screen, a series of new quests were listed in sequence, creating an unprecedentedly lively scene.

Fortunately, all the parsing processes are performed simultaneously, so there's no need to queue them up one by one.

His intelligence attribute is now 86 points, and his analysis speed has increased even further. He can complete this level two magic in two or three days at most.

Zellier observed very carefully just now; of the ten spells Riley released, only seven had a casting speed of less than three seconds.

The remaining three types took a little longer than the allotted time.

In addition, Zellier keenly noticed that all ten of Rili's spells were elemental, with not a single arcane spell.

A normal mage wouldn't specialize in something so much, so there's only one conclusion.

As Mentor Manlin said, Riley's brain is naturally averse to the structure of arcane spells, so he is unable to learn them.

Not all mages can be like me, practicing both elemental and arcane magic simultaneously.

Zellier pondered it for a moment.

This shouldn't have anything to do with the natural evolution of techniques; could it be purely due to one's own talent?
Off the field, beads of sweat were already forming on Ruili's forehead, and his chest was heaving with each deep breath, clearly indicating that continuous spellcasting had taken a toll on him.

"not bad."

Mentor Marvin handed Ruili a crystal that emitted a soft glow. "Take a break."

Riri took the crystal and immediately closed his eyes to meditate.

The light from the crystal flowed into Ruili's body through his meridians. Less than a minute later, he opened his eyes again, and most of the magic power he had consumed in his sea of ​​consciousness had been restored.

Next comes the most important and difficult part of the assessment—successfully casting a level three single-layer spell structure within five seconds!
Zellier was so engrossed that he involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

Level 3 single-layer spell structure magic.

What kind of magic will you use, Riley?

Please, please don't let it be Flame Breath.

"call……"

Ruili took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Magic charging begins!
The moisture in the air swirled in Ruili's palm at an unprecedented speed and continued to spread outwards.

In just a few seconds, a water blade shimmering with clear light condensed and took shape.

The water blade was only the width of a palm. Although it was as thin as a cicada's wing, it was filled with surging magic power!
Originally soft water, under high compression and acceleration, has transformed into the most deadly and sharpest blade!
"what!"

Ruili suddenly opened his eyes and slashed diagonally with one hand!
The water blade that was suspended in his palm also slashed down at the same time!
"Shh!"

A sharp screech that tore through the air.

The stone wall that Riley had summoned earlier had a smooth, mirror-like crack silently appear on its surface, following the trajectory of the water blade.

The upper part of the stone wall slowly slid down and crashed to the ground with a "thud," kicking up dust. The clean break was chilling.

It's not hard to imagine what the consequences would be if this strike landed on a monster or a human.

Zellier's eyes widened slightly.

Below the Art of Evolution, a new analytical task has appeared as scheduled.

[Water Cutting, Analysis Progress - 1%]

After a brief pause, the progress bar for the Cutting Water began to advance rapidly, reaching 32%.

It must be based on the structure of the Water Ball spell... Zelier guessed in his heart.

Riri's magic also opened his eyes.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zellir would never have believed that elemental magic could display such terrifying destructive power.

Even the third-level spell, Flame Breath, could not produce this effect.
