Chapter 280: Dual Talent Apprentice
【Today's Mission: Complete one apprentice-level combat;
Mission Reward: Talent Experience 100 points, Skill Experience 500 points, one random reward.】
Looking at the content on the mission panel, Jia Na's expression also showed a hint of eagerness.
Because of the keen spiritual sense brought by her high 【Perception】 attribute, the first time Jia Na saw Richard-Eva today, she clearly sensed an unusual magic fluctuation from him.
It wasn't until the two sat in the Oak House private room, when Richard-Eva casually cast the 【Soundproof Barrier】, that Jia Na finally captured the source of this unusual feeling—it was the power of the 【Law】.
Just like Jia Na, after she mastered the 【Growth Law Fragment】, when she cast Plant-based magic, it would inherently carry a unique magic magnetic field.
Jia Na understood this magnetic field as a resonance between magic particles and the Law—a very weak, but exceptionally obvious, extraordinary phenomenon.
However, when Jia Na mastered the 【Purification Law Fragment】 and the 【Beauty Law Fragment】, this extraordinary phenomenon did not appear.
Although books related to the 【Law】 in the library did not provide a clear explanation, Jia Na herself inferred that
it was likely because the 【Purification Law Fragment】 and the 【Beauty Law Fragment】 did not match her own 【Wizard Talent】 and even her 【Magic Attribute】.
It was precisely because of this that, before mastering the 【Growth Law Fragment】, if Jia Na did not specifically use the power of these two 【Law Shard】s, even a Formal Wizard would find it difficult to immediately detect them.
Just like Grace-Eva, if she hadn't learned from Anthony-Black Sparrow beforehand that Jia Na had mastered a 【Law Shard】,
then, until Jia Na actively used the corresponding power of the 【Law Shard】, she might not have discovered that Jia Na had mastered a 【Law Shard】.
Of course, for some Wizards with strong soul perception abilities (such as Anthony-Black Sparrow), they can detect the existence of the power of the 【Law】 through the most subtle soul fluctuations.
And Jia Na just now inferred that he had mastered a 【Law Shard】 by the magnetic field fluctuations caused when Richard-Eva cast magic.
This kind of magnetic field fluctuation is impossible for other Wizard Apprentices to detect at all.
However, for a Wizard Apprentice like Jia Na who has already mastered three 【Law Shard】s, it is not a difficult task.
Therefore, Richard-Eva also inferred from this matter that Jia Na had mastered a 【Law Shard】.”
“Alright, I accept your reason for the challenge.”
Richard-Eva, who was also curious about the 【Law Shard】 that Jia Na had mastered, readily agreed to Jia Na's combat invitation after only a moment's thought.
“To be fair, in this apprentice combat, I will try to avoid using some abilities of Three-level Apprentices…”
Between Second-level Wizard Apprentices and Three-level Wizard Apprentices, besides the difference in mental power and magic power, the biggest difference lies in the difference in Life forms.
Bloodline Side apprentices, after advancing to Three-level Wizard Apprentice, their bodies and souls will carry the biological characteristics of “Bloodline Origin”.
More precisely, they are no longer considered “human”.
Just like Suo Luo-Lie Yan, after advancing to Three-level Apprentice, he can switch from human form to 【Lava Lizard】 form at any time.
In addition to his iron-wall-like physical defense, the 【Lava Lizard】's instinct to control Flame and the talent of limb regeneration are all extremely terrifying bloodline abilities.”
And Element Side apprentices, when advancing to Three-level Wizard Apprentice, will truly evolve into a semi-elemental Life with the help of elemental power infusion.
Just like Jia Na, Richard-Eva, who primarily practiced blood magic, was also a Wizard Apprentice with dual talents.
His dual talents were a B-level talent 【Blood Affinity】 which is between the Element Side and the Mystic Side, and the 【Vampire Bat】 bloodline which he awakened later.
Due to the extreme compatibility of these two talents, when Richard-Eva advanced to Three-level Wizard Apprentice, his 【Blood Affinity】 talent and 【Vampire Bat】 bloodline achieved a perfect fusion.
This also allowed Richard-Eva to freely switch between the bloodline form of the 【Vampire Bat】 and the 【Blood】 form.
The free switching between the two forms also gave Richard-Eva the dual combat advantages of both 【Bloodline Side】 and 【Element Side】 apprentices.
Not only was his physical body strong, but the characteristic of the 【Blood Form】 to ignore physical attacks also made Richard-Eva's strength, among apprentices of the same grade in White Coral Academy, once capable of competing for the strongest apprentice title.
However, this strength and talent were still not enough to be impressive when looking at the entire Turin Wizard Gathering Place.
Whether it was the B-level 【Blood Affinity】 or the 【Vampire Bat】 bloodline which was not considered to be of a superior grade, Richard-Eva was always a step behind those true geniuses.
For example, Ghost Child Pading-Green in Black Bone Forest Academy, who possessed the A-level 【Specter Perception】 and B-level 【Dark Affinity】 talents,
was a true genius apprentice who, like Jia Na, could fight against multiple opponents of the same level.
And at that time, Richard-Eva, compared to Pading-Green, was simply not on the same level in terms of talent or strength…
“Then please Senior, enlighten me.”
Jia Na naturally accepted Richard-Eva's proactive act of humility with pleasure.
After all, there was indeed a huge difference in strength between a Second-level Apprentice and a Three-level Apprentice. If Richard-Eva were to attack Jia Na with full force, she naturally wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But, not necessarily—
As a Summoning-type apprentice, Jia Na's greatest reliance was naturally her contracted creatures.
Up to now, both the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon and the Thorn Flower Fairy have reached the level of a Three-level Wizard Apprentice in terms of strength.
So, if they truly fought without holding back, it's hard to say who would win or lose. After Jia Na proactively paid the bill at the Oak House front desk, the two who agreed to fight left the library and walked together to the outdoor Combat Training Ground.
“Are you sure you want to fight here? Isn't it too conspicuous?”
Looking at the empty Combat Training Ground, Richard-Eva couldn't help but look troubled.
“No, at this time on Sunday, everyone is busy with external missions, so not many people will come here.”
“Really—”
Seeing Jia Na acting as if she was very familiar with the place, Richard-Eva's face couldn't help but show some doubt.
“What's wrong, Senior, are you still worried about being seen by others?”
Seeing a hint of difficulty in Richard-Eva's expression, Jia Na, who had already jumped onto the Combat Training Ground first, said indifferently.
“Of course I'm worried—”
