Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 86 Developing New Spells

Failure after failure, adjustment after adjustment.

Finally, in another attack, the compressed wind blade successfully enveloped countless tiny water droplets on the inner wall.

The two spells were now perfectly combined, and the wind blade, carrying tiny water droplets, hovered stably in front of Li Ang.

Success! Li Ang was in high spirits. He didn't have time to be happy and immediately moved on to the next step.

He then cast the [Arc] spell, creating a blue-green current from his fingertips, which he continuously guided and wrapped around the high-frequency vibrating wind blade.

"Sizzle"

A piercing crackling sound of electricity erupted, and the wind blade was instantly engulfed by a dazzling blue-white electric light. Its shape became extremely unstable, and the moisture contained within it was instantly electrolyzed and vaporized, generating terrifying high temperatures!

Meanwhile, the compressed airflow inside the wind blade was instantly transformed into plasma by the high temperature, while the outer layer of the wind blade maintained its original shape under the continuous injection of magic power by Li Ang, thus restraining the plasma inside.

Li Ang felt his mental energy being consumed at an unprecedented rate. He gritted his teeth and did his best to maintain the stability of this dangerous creation, then hurled it fiercely at the black stone target in front of him.

A beam of blue-white energy flashed by.

Without a deafening explosion, the energy blade, like a hot knife cutting into butter, silently sank into the black stone target.

The next moment, the heavy black stone target slowly slid down from the upper middle part and crashed to the ground with a "clang". The cut surface of the black stone was red-hot and molten, radiating amazing heat.

At this moment, the practice room was filled with a peculiar smell, a mixture of ozone and lava.

Li Ang breathed slightly, looking at the target that had been cut in half at the waist, his eyes filled with shock and joy.

He didn't know what level his spell was, but he knew that Captain Eric's level 2 spell, Stormblade, could never achieve this.

These targets can withstand the full force of a full-fledged wizard's attack.

After calming down, Li Ang looked at the ruined target and gave a wry smile. He would definitely have to pay for the damage.

He honestly found Captain Eric, who was still at the base organizing reports.

"Captain, I'm sorry, I accidentally broke a training target in the practice room."

Eric waved his hand casually: "Oh, it's nothing, just report it as normal wear and tear..."

His words stopped abruptly, and he abruptly raised his head, staring at Li Ang.

"Wait! You said you broke? Those black stone targets?"

"Yes..." Li Ang nodded.

Eric's relaxed expression vanished instantly, replaced by utter astonishment and disbelief.

Without saying a word, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Li Ang, and rushed towards the practice room.

When Captain Eric saw the target wreckage, split in two and partially melted, he was completely stunned. His mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He practices here all the time. Even when he uses his level 2 spell, Storm Sword, at full power, he can only leave a slightly deeper mark on the target. It's impossible for him to damage it to this extent.

This...this is not the kind of destruction that a trainee wizard, or even a regular wizard, could cause. This power...has approached or even reached the level of destructive power of a senior wizard.

He suddenly turned to look at Li Ang, his eyes filled with extreme complexity. This guy... how long has he been an apprentice wizard?

After a moment of immense shock, Eric forced down his turbulent emotions, took several deep breaths, and spoke with difficulty:

"...No...it's nothing. This...this isn't your fault. The practice room...has a limit on wear and tear...I'll handle this."

His voice was a little hoarse, "You...you should go back and rest first. Don't talk about today's practice in detail."

He needs some time to process this fact.

Seeing the captain's incredibly complex expression, Li Ang nodded: "Yes, Captain. I'll head back now."

After Li Ang left, Captain Eric seemed to wake up from a dream. He approached the damaged black stone target and began to carefully examine the marks on the broken surface.

At first glance, the target appears to have been damaged by fire magic, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the edges of the black stone's cross-section are very neat, a mark that a simple fire magic could not achieve. Furthermore, there are some scorched marks on the target, resembling traces left by electric current.

Captain Eric was completely confused. Wasn't Li Ang a specialist in wind and water?

This mark doesn't look like a mark of wind or water at all.

Could it be that he didn't break the target? Or was someone else responsible? Whom is he protecting?

A series of guesses flashed through Captain Eric's mind, and he eventually concluded that the damage to the target was not caused by Li Ang.

As for who caused it and why Li Ang was protecting that person, Captain Eric couldn't figure it out.

However, he believed that Li Ang would not do anything to deliberately harm the law enforcement team, so he characterized the incident as a normal loss caused by the failure of the defensive formation on the target.

After successfully creating the new spell, Li Ang devoted almost all of his free time to meditation and facility upgrades for the next two days.

He went out on a mission before he could upgrade the facilities after the fourth star was formed, and now he finally has time to upgrade them.

With the boost to his mental strength from the Fountain of Wisdom and the powerful recovery ability of the [Acceleration Pocket Watch Lv4], he upgraded all the facilities he had already bound, and his strength increased across the board once again.

That day, after the class on the fifth floor ended, Li Ang, Sandra Meyer, and Harris got together again.

Maya and Harris excitedly pulled out a long list, which listed dozens of candidate materials that they had selected from ancient books and experimental records, based on Li Ang's ideas, that could be used for pretreatment of main materials or adjunctive treatment.

"Li Angqing, look, this 'Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma' is said to react with one of the main ingredients, redstone, and this 'Frost-Patterned Bat Excrement'... although it sounds a bit..., the records say it can stabilize mental fluctuations..."

Sandra Meyer pointed to the list, reciting it as if it were her own treasure.

Harris then added information about the properties, prices, and potential conflict reactions of various materials.

Li Ang carefully browsed the list, quickly filtering and judging based on his profound knowledge of potion theory.

Ultimately, he narrowed down the dozens of materials to six that were the most promising and relatively easy to obtain.

"Let's start with these six," Li Ang said, handing the list back to them.

"Next, we need to conduct a large number of experiments to verify the effects and determine the optimal ratio."

Upon hearing this, Sandra Meyer immediately rubbed her hands together excitedly and said:

"Great! I'll go find Instructor Karin right now to apply for workshop time." With that, she turned and ran.

"Maxwell, wait a minute," Harris called out to her helplessly. "Have you forgotten? The waiting list for Karin's workshop is at least a week."

Maya's face immediately fell, and she muttered, "Yes, Instructor Karin has taken on far too many disciples, but what can we do about it..."
