Chapter 33: Light Tornado

Now, there was a book titled ‘Light Tornado’ in front of him.

“After I advanced to an elemental mage, I can also try to construct the magic array of the light tornado.”

The light tornado was a tier 2 spell, Hughes had found the book in the library yesterday. After he became an elemental mage, he immediately wanted to learn new spells.

“It would be great if the system could learn magic directly, just like the light sword of punishment.”

As he flipped through the light tornado, Hughes could not help but think.

Although the system could use mana points to increase the proficiency of magic, it would not display it on the system interface if he had not learned the basics of magic, if it was not shown, it meant that one could not use mana points to increase one’s proficiency in magic.

This was also the reason why Hughes was still flipping through the magic book.

When Hughes received the magic book ‘Light Tornado’ yesterday, he had already flipped through it once, but at that time, he had only skimmed through it.

This time, he needed to read it carefully, and then study every key and difficult point of the spell formation. Finally, he would carve it into Lorelei’s secret tome, and he would no longer need to carve the array before casting the spell.

An hour later, Hughes finally closed the book and let out a long breath.

“The light tornado needs to use mana to continuously construct eight hexagram spell formations in ten seconds, and then overlap the eight spell formations. Next, it needs to construct ten mana symbols to be embedded in the overlapping spell formations. Finally, it needs to construct two circular spell formations around the eight hexagram spell formations to fix the spell formations.”

Hughes, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, lowered his head and pondered.

From the magic array of a spell, one could basically determine how powerful a spell was.

For example, the tier 1 spell, chained light arrows, and the tier 3 spell, light sword of punishment. The magic arrays of these two spells were very different. The former was basically a hexagram, and it could be constructed with two magic symbols and a circular array.

As for the tier 3 light sword, it required eighteen hexagram arrays to combine to form a new magic array. Then, it required thirty-six magic symbols and forty circular arrays to be constructed.

As for the construction of a complicated magic array like the light tornado, it was already considered very powerful among the tier 2 spells.

“But this is also good. The more complicated the magic array, the stronger the power of this spell!”

Hughes’ eyes flashed, and he immediately immersed his consciousness into his spiritual mind and began to practice the construction of the light tornado magic array.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In his spiritual mind, the golden magic energy light spots began to arrange themselves under the control of his spiritual power.

Very soon, a hexagram was arranged.

Two, three, four!

Not long after, four more hexagrams made of magic energy appeared in his spiritual mind.

These four hexagrams were separated from each other and overlapped with each other. They emitted a golden light in his spiritual mind, looking extremely mysterious and gorgeous.

Buzz.

Just as Hughes was about to continue building the fifth hexagram, he lost control of his spiritual power. The four hexagrams collapsed instantly and turned into mana points that scattered in all directions.

“As expected, it’s still too difficult for me to construct a hexagram in one go.”

Hughes muttered to himself as he opened his eyes.

It was already the limit for him to construct four hexagrams at the same time!

However, he wasn’t someone who would give up easily. If he couldn’t do it once, he would do it a second time.

Hughes focused his mind and his consciousness once again immersed in his spiritual mind. He continued the construction training of the light tornado magic array.

…

Two hours later, in the training room, Hughes still had his eyes closed.

His consciousness was still in his mind.

“Four, five, six, seven, eight! All the hexagrams have been successfully constructed!”

In the nothingness of the spiritual mind, other than a few thin magical light spots, there was an extremely complex hexagram magic array!

The hexagram array had a total of four corners, looking extremely mysterious and complicated.

“The construction of the hexagram is successful. Next is the magic symbol!”

While maintaining the spiritual power to control the hexagram pattern, Hughes used his spiritual power to construct the magic symbol.

Buzz.

He had just constructed a magic symbol in the overlapping hexagram, and the entire magic array instantly collapsed and disappeared into the spiritual mind.

“Failed.”

Hughes opened his eyes and frowned.

The sigil. It’s an integral part of the circle.

It is also one of the keys to the resonance of the elements that the old masters summed up.

Before that, though, he had studied quite a bit about magical symbols.

But he was still very confused about this.

He did not know why magic power symbols could resonate with the elements or why magic power symbols needed to be used in conjunction with the hexagram array.

He had also asked teacher Kate about these questions before, but the answer he got was that before reaching the Archmage realm, he should not study the composition of magic arrays too deeply.

Therefore, during this period of time, he had only forcefully memorized the basic construction method of magic power symbols and did not study them in-depth.

He had not expected that just after he had constructed the first mana symbol, it had caused the entire magic array to collapse.

“Looks like I still have to practice constructing the mana symbols more in the future,” Hughes muttered. He looked at the time and did not continue his training.

It was now eleven o’clock at night, and it was already late. Moreover, the mana in his spiritual mind had already been used up. If he used meditation to recover, it would still take more than an hour.

In that case, he might as well go to sleep and wait for his mana to recover on its own the next day.

The next morning, Hughes woke up naturally and got up to wash up.

After washing up, he did not go out to the catacombs. Instead, he went straight to the training room on the second floor and continued to study the construction of the light tornado magic array.

After all, although mana points were important, mastering the light tornado was even more important!

If he could not learn the light tornado, no matter how many mana points there were, they would be of no use without the spell itself. There was no way to use them to increase the proficiency of the light tornado!

“Let’s begin.”

Hughes took a deep breath and immersed his consciousness into his spiritual mind.

After a night of rest, the mana in his spiritual mind had recovered to its full state.

Under his control, the hexagram was quickly constructed.

Next, the mana symbol was constructed.
