After playing with his sister for a while, Hughes soon returned to his room to meditate and cultivate.
He needed to stabilize his cultivation in the shortest time possible so that his body could withstand more elemental power.
At that time, he would refine three anti-magic stones and restore the balance of mana in his body.
When the magic power in his body reached balance for the second time, he would carry out the third elemental baptism to improve his physique, so that his body could withstand a greater amount of magic power.
After that, he would activate his magic cultivation and advance the water dragon spell from Tier 2 to tier 3 in one go.
During these few days of cultivation, he had a feeling that the amount of magic power required to advance the water dragon spell from Tier 2 to Tier 3 would be far more than before.
It was even more than the sum of the magic power required for the previous automatic upgrades!
It was far from what a Tier 2 Mage’s mana could support.
Even if his mana had already surpassed most tier 2 mages, it was impossible for him to have so much magic power to support the advancement of the Water Dragon Spell!
For this, he was willing take the risk and forcefully increase the level of the elemental baptism. He also increased the standard of the elemental baptism twice in a row.
Seven hours later, Hughes woke up from his meditation.
His mind sank. Hughes mobilized his spiritual power and began to check the changes in his body.
“As I expected, four times the level of an ordinary person’s tier 2 elemental baptism is my limit.”
“Next, I will have to refine three anti-magic stones. I hope my calculations are correct.”
In the anti-magic stone cultivation method, before each advancement, the cultivator had to refine the number of anti-magic stones equal to the tier.
One for the first tier, two for the second tier, and naturally three for the third tier.
Every time an anti-magic stone was refined, the swallowing ability of the anti-magic core in the mage’s body would be doubled.
Correspondingly, the conversion ability of the anti-magic core would also be doubled.
This was also the biggest drawback of the anti-magic stone cultivation method.
For most mages, the exponential increase in mana pumping would only result in one result, which was losing control of mana and the explosion of the soul.
However, Hughes was not afraid of these things. With his innate maximum level of spiritual power, the maximum capacity of his mana was much higher than that of an ordinary mage.
He also had the magic circuits in his body. When he could no longer accommodate the mana, he could transform them into pure elemental power through the anti-magic core to further etch the magic circuits carved in his body.
Hughes took out three anti-magic stones and poured mana into them. The anti-magic stones were instantly activated.
Then, Hughes began to refine the anti-magic stones with ease according to the anti-magic stone cultivation method.
A black stream of light lit up and went along Hughes’s body. With a whoosh, it entered the anti-magic stone that had already taken shape in his body.
A violent devouring power was generated in Hughes’s body. The surrounding elements frantically rushed into Hughes’s body.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound!
The balance of the elements in Hughes’s body was instantly broken.
The first to attack was the fire element.
As one of the five most basic elements, the fire element had an extremely powerful destructive ability.
The blazing fire element ran wild and roasted Hughes red!
However, the high temperature was not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that the cells would dry up due to the high temperature.
Fortunately, Hughes had already passed the second elemental baptism.
Moreover, the elemental baptism he endured was four times that of an ordinary mage.
The high intensity of the elemental baptism had strengthened Hughes’s physique to an insane degree.
It allowed him to forcefully withstand the impact of the fire element.
However, this was only the first wave of impact.
