Chapter 646 (2/2)

“Yes. The magic skills you previously displayed were simply beyond my wildest imagination. So I hope to learn magic from you. Of course, so long as you are willing to guide me or impart anything to me, I am willing to learn any technique. I’m not greedy to the extent where I must learn magic and nothing else but magic,” Ray Shack replied.

Sui Xiong looked at Ray very carefully, ascertaining that he spoke the truth, and then thought for a moment before saying, “Of course you can if you want to learn magic. But I cannot just impart you with skills for no reason… Let’s do it this way. I shall give you some tasks. Then based on how well you fare, I will impart you with an amount that matches your performance level.”

Ray Shack heaved a long sigh of relief and felt a little more assured. Yet at the same time, he started to feel a little apprehensive. The tasks given by this master would most probably not be easy to accomplish…

“I’m very curious about the situation over at the Great Marsh. It’s said that the Lord of that place, Viscount Samat, was sealed with a title after he made a meritorious contribution at war, so I’m also curious about what actually happened,” said Sui Xiong. “These two things will be the main topic that you are to collect information about. I will decide how much I will impart to you based on the level of detail and reliability of the information you gather.”

Ray Shack nodded vigorously and then asked, “So, do I still come here to look for you?”

“Yes, I will not check out. Even if I’m not here when you return, you just need to wait for a few days.”

After this thin man left hurriedly, Sui Xiong sat within his room and could not help laughing.

Ray Shack had limited capabilities, and naturally, his level of judgment was not ideal. As a matter of fact, what Sui Xiong executed was not magic, but rather some method that was very much more high-end: First, he used the technique of Hold Person to control the gray-clad man; then he executed the Transposition Technique to swap their positions. Lastly, he used two advanced Phantom Spells to change their respective images—all of these things were carried out using two special skills, respectively, “Invisible Spellcasting” and “Speedy Spellcasting,” to achieve such a magic-like effect.

In fact, he had an even simpler way, which was to directly execute the power of gods—for instance, temporarily creating a God’s Kingdom out of the entire surrounding area, then using one of the techniques within his Divine Power, “May Your Wish Come True,” he could easily achieve the same result.

But that would be too conspicuous, so Sui Xiong preferred to take the more troublesome way out.

The spells he used might have all been driven by his Divine Power and were therefore much more powerful than ordinary spells, but at least, he did not directly make use of his Divine Power.

Ray Shack was completely oblivious to all of these things. If he could differentiate any of this at all, he would definitely not have said that he wanted to learn magic. Out of all the spells that Sui Xiong cast, only the advanced Phantom Spells could be counted as magic spells, while the techniques Hold Person and Transposition Technique were not. And as compared to the advanced Phantom Spells, the super magic skill, “Invisible Spellcasting,” was even more profound. As for using the Speedy Spellcasting skill four times consecutively, that was powerful to a level of breaking through the limits of the horizon. It was powerful beyond one’s wildest imagination, so powerful that it reached a stage that a majority of spellcasters in the world would never dream of achieving.

Not taking other things into consideration, just the fact that he could execute Speedy Spellcasting skill four times in a row, within the same instant, was already a phenomenon that was totally beyond all reason. The “speedy” part referred to things that could be completed at extreme speed, but within a certain period, it could only be executed once. In other words, within the same instant, it would be right that this Speedy Spellcasting skill could only be used once.

Using Speedy Spellcasting four times in a row instantly… Even if it was cast two times in a row, that would already be considered a legendary skill. If a mage had such an ability, he could basically beat up anyone of the same level. As for those like Sui Xiong, who could execute the same skill four times in a row within the same instant, that was simply powerful, invincible, nature-defying… and the list could just go on.

But all of these things did not matter to Ray Shack at all. And for the time being, they also had nothing to do with Sui Xiong.

At present, the most pressing issue for Sui Xiong was to give himself a crash course. He had to research and improve his magic ability, so when Ray Shack finished his tasks, he could impart some skills to him…
