BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197 - Mutation
Chapter 197: Mutation
Bloody Fortress, Stardust Tower, square parking lot.
“That’s a pity!”
In front of the carriage, Winston sent Heath off the carriage with a disappointed look.
After a pause, he put on a smile again. “But I hope you can consider it carefully, sir. The help our Partridge family can bring to you is definitely beyond your imagination.”
Heath said awkwardly, “Sir…”
Winston did not want to talk to him about anything else. He just wanted to rope him in, or rather, recruit him. He hoped that he could also serve as a deacon of the Partridge family.
It was supposed to be a good thing to be recruited, but this was the Bloody Fortress.
It was forbidden to form cliques in the Bloody Fortress, and Robert was also very wary of these things. Moreover, he had just received Robert’s favor and was even willing to transfer him to the Round Table Conference. After that, if he ran to collude with the Partridge family…
If this spread and Robert found out, what would people think?
However, before he could finish speaking, Winston interrupted, “Wizard Heath, I don’t want your answer now. I just hope that you can consider it and don’t rush to give me an answer.”
He said confidently, “I believe that after you seriously consider it, you will definitely accept my proposal.”
“In that case, I look forward to your good news!”
After saying that, he did not wait for Heath’s reply and went inside.
Heath frowned.
He had heard that this Partridge family’s way of doing things was overbearing. Today, he had truly experienced it. What was this? They would not give up until they achieved their goal?
After thinking for a while, Heath decided to ignore him for the time being.
He had already said and made clear what he should say and what he should say. The huge Partridge family should not be so stubborn as to go against him over such a small matter, right?
Even if that was the case, Robert was the one who had the final say in this Bloody Fortress. It would not be difficult for him.
…
In the next few days, Winston sent people to persuade Heath a few times, but Heath rejected them all.
Probably because he saw that Heath’s attitude was too firm, Winston seemed to have given up after failing a few times, so he did not send people again.
There was no retaliation, and everything was very calm. In the next few meetings in the fortress, Winston did not show any hostility. He only expressed his regret for not being able to recruit Heath twice.
In short, this little episode was over. Heath did not pay attention to it anymore. Instead, he focused on his cultivation.
Bloody Fortress, Heath’s room, cultivation room.
In the closed cultivation room, a long white candle was sizzling and burning. The jumping flames scattered across the entire room.
Different from ordinary candles, the light emitted by this candle was not strong, but it could fill the entire room. At the same time, under the candlelight, sparks could be seen from time to time. It was as if something invisible in the air had been burned.
This kind of candle was called the ‘Purifying Candle’.
As the name suggested, this was a candle with purifying effects. It could burn and purify the elemental impurities in the current area, especially against negative energy particles such as Wraiths.
Because of Wraiths, the negative energy particles in the entire Bloody Battlefield were extremely heavy. In such a place, if a Wizard meditated and practiced, they would absorb these negative energy particles and cause themselves to be polluted. At the very least, they would become eccentric and crazy. At the very most, they would become a monster step by step.
In order to allow the Wizard Apprentices in the fortress to cultivate in peace, the fortress had specially prepared a series of tools to purify the negative energy particles, and this Purifying Candle was one of them.
In front of the Purifying Candle, Heath was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a magic array.
This was a strange magic array, made up of a main array and several separate channeling magic arrays, on top of the channeling magic array were all sorts of materials such as Star Spirit Grass, Death Soul Flower, Mutant Plant, and so on.
Any Wizard who was familiar with the steps of the Wizard level would be able to recognize at a glance that these materials were materials that belonged to soul mutation.
And this magic array was also a magic array for soul mutation.
Tss! Tss!
The flames jumped unceasingly, and the various soul mutation materials that belonged to the magic array slowly converted into pure alienation energy along with the operation of the magic array. They flowed along the guiding lines of the magic array towards Heath.
In the sea of consciousness.
Heath’s light blue soul sat cross-legged. The mutation energy that seeped in all converged here and finally flowed towards his chest.
There, there was a ball of white.
The white, which was originally only the size of a thumb, had expanded to the size of a fist after days of hard work. This was the current progress of his soul’s mutation.
The so-called soul’s mutation was actually a way to change the structure of the soul and make the soul more suitable for the elements.
The mutation of the original soul and the assimilation of the elements.
Originally, there was a certain rejection reaction between the soul of a Wizard and the elements. Before becoming an intermediate-level Wizard, the Wizard did not need too much soul energy, so the rejection did not affect them.
However, after becoming an intermediate-level Wizard, the soul energy required would have a qualitative leap. At this time, if there was still rejection, it would lose a lot of soul energy, and it might even cause a certain amount of danger to the soul. Therefore, the soul had to be mutated.
Only when the soul’s mutation rate exceeded 30% could one break through to become an intermediate-level Wizard, and only when it reached 80% could one break through to become an advanced-level Wizard.
Time passed by bit by bit…
After two-thirds of the Purifying Candle had been burned, crisp ‘kacha’ sounds came one after another from the respective magic arrays. It was the sound of the mutated materials that had been drained of energy breaking.
As the energy was drained, the materials on the respective magic arrays gradually lost their color and withered. In the end, they were like burnt paper. With a series of cracking sounds, they completely turned into a pile of powder.
When the last dissimilated material turned into powder, the dissimilation this time also ended.
Following that, Heath slowly opened his eyes.
“Phew!~” He sighed and opened the system interface to take a look.
On the message board, there was a row of clear words:
[Mutation value increased by 2,862. Current Mutation Rate: 6%.]
After the system upgrade, Heath found that the system’s display had also been greatly improved. In the past, it could only display attributes, but now it could display other more detailed physical states.
Take this soul mutation for example. Now, after each mutation, he would be able to obtain the specific energy value and degree of mutation.
This saved him a lot of effort. Otherwise, if he wanted to know the specific value, not only would he need to use a special Wizard tool, but he would also need to consume a large number of Magic Stones.
And this was only one of the items.
Touching his chin, Heath said, “2,862? Then with the previous extraction… The mutation value is almost 4,000…”
The system’s return allowed Heath to increase the mutation energy in addition to his training
Extraction!
Yes, through Heath’s experiments, he found that the mutation energy could also be extracted. For example, he had extracted the materials he used to absorb the mutation before he absorbed them, he had obtained more than a thousand mutated energy.
“At this rate, I might be able to raise my soul’s mutation rate to 100% before I advance to an intermediate-rank Wizard…”
“A low-rank Wizard with 100% soul’s mutation rate… How abnormal is that!”
The higher the soul’s mutation rate, the more precise the Wizard’s control over his spiritual power and the higher the energy released.
It was an important item that could directly affect the power of spells!
…
After the outbreak of the Wraith tide, there would not be any more Wraith tides in the short term. Because of this, the fortress was in a peaceful phase for the next period of time.
During this period, Heath did not go anywhere and stayed in his room all day to train. Other than the necessary military meetings and some social events that could not be overthrown, the rest of his time was spent on training.
During this process, Heath’s strength also improved by leaps and bounds. He could feel the improvement every day.
In addition to the improvement in Wizards, there was also new progress in the Knight path. This progress came mainly from Wizard Robert.
A few days later, Robert came to look for him, mainly to teach him how to use the Red Demon.
During this lesson, he also learned about Knights and swordsmanship that he did not know before…
