Chapter 99: Chthon’s Dark Magic
A whole ten million energy points! "Chthon's Notebook," worth ten million energy points when recycled, required the same amount of energy to be directly modified into a skill book! However, where there's a will, there's a way! Qi Jun could gradually absorb it, just like he did with the Ancient One's magic skills. Besides, with "Chthon's Notebook" worth ten million energy points, the amount of knowledge contained was vast. Even if it were converted into a skill book, it wouldn't be something Qi Jun could handle right now.
Qi Jun could imagine that with his current mental capacity, if he absorbed a skill book worth ten million energy points, his head might explode instantly. Terrifying! It was better to proceed step by step, as he had done before.
"Tai Bai!"
"Open the solar panels. Daddy needs to recharge!"
...
"Chthon's Dark Magic: Beginner's Guide," 300,000 energy points!
"Chthon's Dark Magic: Intermediate Guide," 800,000 energy points!
Sunbathing, recharging...
"Chthon's Dark Magic: Advanced Guide Part One," 1,000,000 energy points!
Sunbathing, recharging...
"Chthon's Dark Magic: Advanced Guide Part Two," 1,000,000 energy points!
Sunbathing, recharging...
"Chthon's Dark Magic: Top-Level Guide Part One," 1,000,000 energy points!
Sunbathing, recharging...
"Chthon's Dark Magic: Top-Level Guide Part Two," 1,000,000 energy points!
Sunbathing, recharging...
No more! "Chthon's Notebook" containing so much magic was beyond Qi Jun's imagination! Before this, he had thought there would only be beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of dark magic! Moreover, the energy span between these levels was much larger than that of the Vishanti lineage! It made sense for someone who could fight the three Vishanti to a standstill!
Just from the "Beginner's Guide" to "Chthon's Dark Magic: Top-Level Guide Part One," it had cost a total of 5.1 million energy points! Following this pattern, it might take five million energy points or even seven million points to complete all the top-level guides.
No matter what, the top-level magic of the Vishanti lineage only cost 3.6 million energy points! Chthon was indeed someone who could fight the Vishanti trio to a standstill.
If Dormammu could join forces with Chthon... well, maybe they were too proud to collaborate due to their statuses as dimensional lords. Or perhaps Odin and other powerful beings watching from the sidelines deterred them.
In any case, seeing the six skill books before him made Qi Jun very happy! Once he learned these, his foundation would be even stronger!
Thinking about this, Qi Jun picked out the "Chthon's Dark Magic: Beginner's Guide" and activated it!
Snap!
...
"Um..."
"..."
"Is there any food?"
"So hungry..."
Qi Jun didn't know how much time had passed when he heard a faint voice and slowly came to his senses.
"Ah!"
"Skye!"
"Oh, right, right away."
Shaking his groggy head, Qi Jun got up from the recliner, walked through the portal, and entered the mirror space.
"Haha, Skye, you don't have to be so cautious. I'm not that scary and I don't bite!"
"Lunch is important; you can't train on an empty stomach!"
Seeing Skye's cautious appearance, Qi Jun couldn't help but laugh.
Skye looked starved yet careful, which was quite amusing!
"Well, it looks like you've got a good handle on your powers!"
Although the mirror space was in ruins, with hardly a mountain left and cracks and lava pits everywhere, Qi Jun didn't feel any more shockwaves coming from Skye.
"It's been two days. If I still couldn't control my powers, I'd be pretty stupid."
Skye muttered softly, but Qi Jun's enhanced hearing picked it up easily.
However, Qi Jun was startled; it had been two days already! He hadn't felt the passage of time, as if it had only been a moment. Studying dark magic was this time-consuming? Remembering the grogginess in his head, Qi Jun felt frustrated.
Dark magic was no joke! Even for the caster, it had a significant impact. Qi Jun felt uneasy, wondering if Chthon had left any traps in the "Darkhold."
With this suspicion, Qi Jun felt a chill. Although he had initially planned to use the mutation stone to gradually manifest all the dark magic, he decided against it.
Despite the mutation stone protecting him from any dark schemes, now that he had this doubt, Qi Jun no longer wanted to continue with dark magic.
After all, he wasn't particularly curious about dark magic. What he had already learned was enough for his needs, and he didn't want to delve further.
...
"Come on."
"You were born in the East, but you've never had authentic Eastern cuisine."
"Today, we'll eat to our heart's content!"
Having the mutation stone was so convenient! With a thought, top-notch dishes from his previous life appeared on the table before Qi Jun and Skye.
Not knowing if Skye could use chopsticks, Qi Jun manifested a pair for her, along with a knife and fork.
Ignoring Skye's stunned expression, Qi Jun began to enjoy the feast spread out across a table as large as a basketball court!
