Chapter 177: Spell Conversion
Chen Ling felt a sense of joy in his heart, closed his eyes, and enjoyed Sui Li’er’s shoulder massage service.
Just at this moment, Yan Ran suddenly appeared in the classroom. At a glance, she saw Sui Li’er who was earnestly massaging and Chen Ling who was enjoying himself.
She couldn’t help but say helplessly: “Class is starting, you two.”
“Ah!” Sui Sui was frightened and quickly pulled her hands back, her face instantly turning red. “Instructor…”
Seeing this, Chen Ling directly grabbed Sui Li’er’s hand, and with a swift movement, they disappeared from the class, heading straight to the underground training ground.
Yan Ran, seeing Chen Ling and Sui Li’er disappear suddenly once again, narrowed her eyes: The magic energy still hasn’t triggered… What’s the reason behind this? Could Chen Ling’s curse be related to the inability to trigger magic energy?
But no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a curse; it’s more like an incredibly strong buff. Unable to comprehend, she could only return to the underground space.
As a seasoned instructor, Yan Ran had abundant teaching experience.
Handling an advanced class was easy for her, let alone a group of Intermediate Mages. She went straight to the point. “Today, I’ll teach you a combat curse spell from general magic: Spell Conversion.”
“Spell conversion? I feel like I’ve heard of that somewhere…”
For everyone present, this was a somewhat unfamiliar term.
“Does anyone know what kind of magic it is?” Yan Ran smiled and looked at the crowd, then turned her gaze towards Chen Ling.
Chen Ling: “…”
They’re going to make me answer again.
“Chen Ling, do you know what it means?”
Chen Ling rolled his eyes, utterly speechless,”I don’t know, don’t ask me.”
Sui Sui, seeing that even Chen Ling didn’t know, looked surprised. There was actually something even the Lord God didn’t know!
At this moment, Mi Yao on the side suddenly spoke up:
“Spell conversion involves consuming more magical energy, using identical runes present in two different spells for seamless transformation, directly altering the cast magic to achieve a counter effect.”
The crowd looked at Mi Yao beside them with some surprise at her explanation. Surprised that a new student would know this, and also surprised at the effect of that magic.
Yan Ran nodded at her explanation: “Some might not fully understand yet. Just watch me.”
After saying that, she suddenly threw a punch, and countless magical symbols immediately filled the air around her. The temperature in the entire underground space instantly rose, and flames surged like a tsunami toward all the students present.
Everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat. They could feel the terrifying energy within it. That spell could wipe them all out!
But it was too late to run now.
Just as despair filled everyone’s hearts, countless magical symbols once again appeared around Yan Ran. A burst of blue light suddenly lit up.
The flames of magic that were about to blow everyone away suddenly disappeared, swept away by a gust of wind. This gust of wind pushed everyone back a few steps.
In the next moment, astonishment appeared on everyone’s faces. Was this the Spell Conversion? A spell directly transformed!
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone’s faces, Yan Ran chuckled: “This is an auxiliary curse spell. While a spell contains many runes, there are numerous similar runes that exist within multiple spells.”
(It’s like in two different articles, there’s always a bunch of words or phrases that repeat. Like “bunny,” “airport,” “hubby~”)
“As long as the combined quantity of identical runes from two spells exceeds 40%, regardless of their order, you can directly modify the incantation for conversion.”
“This can create feints, turn defense into offense, or use offense for defense. It’s adaptable and versatile in practical combat, deserving of being a ‘curse spell.'”
“Of course, it requires everyone to be proficient in their incantations.”
The students were all delighted to hear this. Could Intermediate Mages learn this!?
“Let me demonstrate for everyone.”
“Everyone, release a Minor Fireball Spell in the palm of your hand.”
After saying this, Yan Ran looked directly at Chen Ling.
This was her purpose. From the time she met Chen Ling until now, she had never seen him cast a legitimate spell.
What was a legitimate spell?
One with golden runes and responsive magic. Not having golden runes could be understood, as some spells or devices could conceal runes.
But not having responsive magic was extremely strange. Responsive magic existed between heaven and earth, so how did Chen Ling hide it?
Yan Ran suspected that maybe the spells Chen Ling cast were too advanced for her to recognize. This might have triggered the responsive magic, but she didn’t recognize it.
So she deliberately had Chen Ling cast a simple spell, a universal spell that everyone would know.
Her thoughts were naturally seen by Chen Ling through his mind-reading ability. He thought these people were really idle and had too much time on their hands. If the points they deducted weren’t so little, Chen Ling would have definitely found something for them to do.
At this point, the people in the room had already conjured their respective spells.
Although they were all Minor Fireball Spells, there were differences among them. Some were larger, some were smaller. The size of a Minor Fireball Spell could be controlled by infusing more magical energy into it. However, there was an upper limit, which was 39% of the total magical energy within the caster’s body, the limit of the Minor Fireball Spell.
Therefore, when casting a Minor Fireball Spell with all their might, by observing the size of the fireballs, it was enough to gauge a person’s strength.
However, it wasn’t a fight now, so everyone wasn’t desperately channeling magical energy, and their Minor Fireball Spells in hand weren’t that large. This made Sui Li’er seem a little less awkward now~
Her Minor Fireball Spell was actually not the smallest among them.
“Hehe~ Chen Ling~ look, my fireball is bigger than before~”
After this period of training, Sui Li’er’s strength had also improved to some extent. At this moment, her Minor Fireball Spell was much larger than her previous golf ball-sized ones, about as big as half a basketball.
Chen Ling, upon hearing this, glanced at Sui Li’er’s “airport” and nodded: “Yeah, it’s indeed a bit bigger.”
Sui Li’er, feeling validated by Chen Ling, was about to feel happy when she realized where his gaze was directed!
!!!
What are you saying!?
What… is bigger!?
Wait!
“I, I wasn’t talking about… that!” Sui Li’er exclaimed.
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui is shy~ Points +1 billion! 〛
At the same time, she quickly retracted her hand that was blocking her “airport.” And that little fireball went out of control!
As we all know, Sui Li’er specialized in targeting her Lord God…
Miraculously, the out-of-control fireball flew horizontally towards Chen Ling’s face.
Chen Ling: ???
What the heck is this principle!
Even as a god, he didn’t understand… Why does every attack Sui Li’er launches turn toward him as long as he’s within her range!?
Her exclamation drew the attention of those around her, and they looked at her in confusion. They happened to witness the scene where Sui Li’er covered her body and the small fireball flew toward Chen Ling.
Those who didn’t understand the situation had several scripts magically running in their minds.
Script One: Chen Ling had impure thoughts, took advantage of Sui Sui’s distraction to sneakily… Sui Sui, in a mix of shyness and anger, furiously beats her boyfriend.
Script Two: Chen Ling used the small fireball to attack Sui Sui’s “airport,” Sui Sui counterattacked, vowing to defend her territory and sovereignty…
Script Three: …
Anyway, regardless of the script, everyone’s current thought was: Whoa!
Why didn’t I see that! Darn it!
“Smack!”
Chen Ling reached out and easily caught the Minor Fireball Spell the size of a half basketball that Sui Li’er had released.
Everyone was wide-eyed seeing this! Can you actually catch that with your hand? Dude, aren’t you getting burned! And, that thing explodes!
Seeing this, Sui Li’er also had a terrified expression. “No!”
She immediately pounced on Chen Ling, reaching out her hand, wanting to slap away the Minor Fireball Spell he was holding. She didn’t care about the effect on her tender hands after touching it.
Anyway, right now she was too worried and scared that the out-of-control fireball might explode and hurt Chen Ling.
