Chapter 419: Chapter 418 Shape-shifting Magic

Of course, Zhang Yanhang’s enthusiasm for these upgrades was limited to first trying to put forth effort, and if he really found it troublesome, he would then give up, especially if the cost-effectiveness was too low for him to obsess over the formula for a medium magic recovery potion.

After studying "Master Language," Zhang Yanhang began to examine the effects of Giant Transformation. This spell was also quite simple, allowing Zhang Yanhang, who was close to two meters tall, to double his height. That is, using this spell would inflate his height to around three meters and eighty centimeters, or roughly four meters rounded up, turning him into a small giant.

Of course, apart from increasing his size, Zhang Yanhang’s strength and attack power would also increase proportionately. Otherwise, merely growing bigger would be rather foolish as it would only make him an easy target.

After checking out Giant Transformation, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to look at the last first-tier spell, Holy Light Beam. This spell was even simpler: it was merely shooting a beam of holy light, not very powerful, but it was particularly effective against undead or evil beings, dealing damage that could override their resistance.

Honestly, compared to Holy Light Beam, Zhang Yanhang actually preferred obtaining something like Burning Hand, a shape-shifting flame spell that was stronger.

Burning Hand releases a conical flame in front of the caster, and whether in terms of clearing efficiency or attack strength, it was much stronger than the single-target, undead and evil being-focused Holy Light magic of the shape-shifting series, like Holy Light Beam.

"But after all, it is only a first-tier spell. As my talent level eventually increases, my list of spells is bound to continue growing and include higher tier spells. As long as I can obtain useful attack spells later, it should be enough. After all, the attack power of first-tier spells isn’t impressive," he thought.

Zhang Yanhang was quite open-minded about this since lower-tier spells were mainly focused on functionality, whereas higher-tier spells were the truly powerful ones, such as the famously formidable nine-cylinder spell Time Stop, or Annihilation Singularity, which could create a micro black hole.

"Unfortunately, I probably won’t have the chance to acquire such high-level spells any time soon..."

Zhang Yanhang guessed that the highest he could possibly upgrade his Scroll Dragon Bloodline talent in the Goblin Plain was to either S or SS level. Such levels of talent would definitely not grant access to a nine-cycle spell like Time Stop. There was no need to even think about it.

"I feel like even the first-tier spells are much more practical than the Zero Ring tricks, except for Holy Light Beam, as all of them are spells I can use..."

He felt quite fortunate to obtain such practical spells since the number of first-tier spells was at least in the triple digits, including plenty of useless junk spells.

Take for example, Tentacle Tongue, which transforms one’s tongue into a tentacle and also increases the number of tentacles according to the user’s strength. Zhang Yanhang couldn’t think of a suitable use for this spell, especially since he wasn’t surrounded by magical girls.

Or take Sealing Door Skill, which could be used when someone forgot to lock a door upon leaving, and it would automatically lock the door for the user, proving to be a genuinely superfluous skill.

Or consider Horiz Koller’s Roar, indeed, even in the first tier, Horiz Koller had devised a related sound magic spell. Compared to his previous Zero Ring Trick, Horiz Koller Cough, this Horiz Koller’s Roar, being a first-tier spell, had some power.

While still not very useful, if the distance was short enough, it could cause nearby biological entities to enter a state of tinnitus and temporary deafness, barely qualifying as an auxiliary spell.

After reviewing the spell list, Zhang Yanhang began to refocus equally importantly on Ability One Unpredictable Wisdom and Ability Two Hundred Dragon Wisdom.

[Ability One: Unpredictable Wisdom — Intelligence +1.]

[Ability Two: Hundred Dragon Wisdom — Energy value limit +15% (+7.5%).]

"This Ability One ’Unpredictable Wisdom,’ I recall, originally meant that a person’s wisdom was incalculable. Simply put, the level of intelligence had exceeded ordinary imagination, similar to Ability Two’s ’Hundred Dragon Wisdom,’ which describes a person as being extremely intelligent.

As for this increase of +1 to intelligence, it was entirely expected."

Zhang Yanhang thought, when he saw ’Hundred Dragon Wisdom’ earlier, that this Dragon Vein Talent was mostly likely an intelligence-related talent. It seems he was quite accurate in his initial guess.

After all, it increased the energy value limit, it couldn’t possibly be a physical system talent like [Slow Corrotion] or a strength system talent like [Ant Power], that would be totally incongruent.

"However, this Ability Two ’Hundred Dragon Wisdom’ does leave me a bit disappointed. After the talent quality improved to D level, it only increased the energy value limit by 7.5%, from the original 7.5% to now 15%. Although the increment has doubled, it still feels a bit lacking."

Zhang Yanhang had previously hoped the best-case scenario might see a level upgrade increase the energy value limit by ten percent or more. The current state only reached half of his initial expectations.

"But at least it’s still an improvement, which is better than nothing. I can only hope that this Scroll Dragon talent will gradually increase the energy value limit later on."

Although the current significance of the energy value limit was not as great as the spell list, the energy value limit still related to the strength of Zhang Yanhang’s options. So, if possible, he still hoped that the Dragon Vein Talent would enhance the energy value limit as much as possible.
