Chapter 117 Combat System

Seven days have passed since Mark returned from the black market, and there has still been no news of the O'Connor family's ransom payment from the film network.

Since he had nothing better to do, Mark simply holed up in the Mage's Guild, immersing himself in studying spells and planning his own combat system.

During this period, Clyde often brought Orion to the association to discuss the "0mega-3" project with Morris, Dylan, Mark, and others.

Taking this opportunity, Mark pulled Orion into a sparring session.

After all, casting spells on dummies all day yields no feedback; real-person practice is the only way to identify problems and improve skills more quickly.

The training has been very effective over the past few days.

Mark sipped his glass while staring intently at the screen in front of him.

【Right Foot + Left Foot】Set Effect: Skill "Standing Jump (White)" - Regardless of whether there is a running start, you can jump 3-6 meters high.

Mark's [Character Panel] has changed a lot.

Regarding attributes.

First is "Constitution +2/+2".

This is thanks to the "Gigantification" progress of the torso equipment "Gluttonous Giant's Stomach".

After consuming a high-energy diet for several days, the "gigantic" progress has reached 76/100.

At the same time, the talent "Magic Furnace" converts excess energy into magic power, which can quickly replenish the consumption of spell training and prevent overnutrition from causing body deformation.

Now, thanks to two "body size +15%" increases, Mark's height has exceeded 2 meters, making him stand out from the crowd.

At first, Professor Morris and Dylan were very surprised to see this, but after learning that Mark had the "Frost Giant bloodline", they all felt that it made perfect sense.

I never imagined that the words I casually said to my teammates back then would still be effective today.

Secondly, there's "Agility +3".

Mark has been practicing the first-level spell "Frostbolt" as a regular attack.

With the bonus of "Spell Proficiency +55%" from the "Spell Mastery Lv2" feat, I quickly leveled up "Frostbolt" to Ma, and at the same time, I also leveled up "Archery Advancement" to Ma, gaining "Agility +2".

At this point, if Mark still uses the original materials "Gnoll Left/Right Foot" for the [Left Foot] and [Right Foot] equipment slots, the "Agility +1" effect for each piece will continue to be retained.

Ultimately, the Agility attribute will become a waste due to the 10-point potential cap.

Therefore, Mark purchased some other monster materials through the Lynx Academy, including this pair of "Mad Frogman's left/right legs".

Even excluding the swimming bonus, Mark feels that the Frog Legs two-piece set effect, "Standing Jump," provides more mobility.

As for the gnoll's two-piece set effect "Savage Rush", it is more suitable for prolonged battles.

The two are actually quite similar.

Finally, there's "Intelligence +4".

Since advancing to the first tier of "Mage," Mark's Intelligence attribute has only increased in two areas: "Spellcasting Advancement Ma"

"and "Frost Arrow Ma".

Both contribute 2 points to intelligence, which is very simple and straightforward.

In addition to attribute improvements, the skills have also been further refined.

Mark borrowed and successfully learned four ice spells from the Mage's Guild library:

1st Ring "Ice Blade"

3-ring "Frost Gun"

3rd Ring "Ice Mist"

3rd Ring "Ice Wall"

Unsurprisingly, all four spells were ice-based.

This is all because Mark's current core is "Frostblood IV" - +80% affinity for ice elements.

This effect not only enhances the power of ice spells in all aspects, but also reduces their learning difficulty and strengthens spell control.

Taking "Ice Blade" as an example, Mark mastered this first-level spell almost immediately.

In fact, Mark can instantly refine any ice spell below the first level.

As for "Frost Lance" and "Frost Mist," they didn't take Mark much effort either.

Because the prerequisite spell for the 3rd level "Ice Mist" is the 1st level "White Mist"; the prerequisite spell for the 3rd level "Frostbolt" is the 1st level "Frost Arrow".

Generally speaking, once you have learned the prerequisite spells/skills, the learning difficulty of advanced spells/skills will be reduced by at least half.

This is one of the reasons why Mark chose "Ice Mist" and "Ice Lance".

The only slightly difficult one is the "Ice Wall" spell.

Mark needs to learn this spell from scratch.

However, with the boost of "Intelligence 24" and "Ice Element Affinity +80%", it only took a few more days to master it.

So far, Mark has initially established his own combat system.

Firstly, "Frostbolt" and "Ice Blade" are used as the main means of output, covering both ranged and melee attacks;

Once again, the "Frost Spear" is used as an enhanced attack. Combined with the "Piercing +24%" bonus from the equipment slots [Left Hand] and [Right Hand], its power will become extremely ferocious.

Then, use "Ice Wall" as a defensive and terrain-based means to flexibly block enemy attacks;

Then, "Frost Armor" provides a second layer of defense, while "Frost Mist" is used to confuse the enemy and create opportunities;

Finally, "Ice Spirit Dragon" served as the ultimate move, delivering the decisive blow at the crucial moment.

This combat system is pretty perfect, but its only drawback is that the brain can't store that many 3rd-level spells.

马克当前为一阶职业者法师，自身记忆1—2个3环法术，3—5个2环法术。

To reduce the pressure on themselves, they only kept one 3-ring.

After much deliberation, Mark decided to keep "Frost Lance" for immediate use, while uploading the other two spells, "Ice Mist" and "Ice Wall," to the magic network.

The difference between them is that when Mark wants to call the latter two spells, there needs to be a download process, resulting in a casting delay of nearly 1 second.

As for other spells, such as "Ice Spirit Dragon" and "Frost Armor," they are engraved in the mind sea and integrated with the consciousness and instinct, and can be cast directly at any time.
