Chapter 218 Wizard Restrictions (1/2)

The lagoon was surrounded by fields of Dragon Bone Grass that grew in thick clusters. Yang Ling tried to transport some of the grass into the space with the Wizard's Pagoda, but it took a lot of energy. If it took that much to move some Dragon Bone Grass, he wasn't sure he would be able to move all of it. He'd never get the whole lagoon transported even if he exhausted all of his mental energy.

After repeated attempts, Yang Ling realized that he had to spend the same amount of mental energy to transport a can of water from the lagoon as transporting twenty blades of Dragon Bone Grass. There was an abundance of Dragon Bone Grass, but the amount of water in the lagoon was unimaginable.

According to the memories of the Flying Dragon King, even though the surface area of the lagoon was fairly small, the deepest part of the lagoon was over a hundred meters deep. Who knew how long he might take to transport all of the water into the space of the Wizard's Pagoda, especially if he did it one can at a time!

Was there no simpler way?

Sitting cross-legged on the lagoon's shore and carefully recalling what Yuna had once said about space element magical spells, then attentively remembering the Wizard Techniques recorded on the stele, Yang Ling puzzled, unable to come up with a simpler method.

To help clear his head of that frustration, Yang Ling decided to take a swim in the freezing lagoon. But when he touched the water, it was not cold as he had expected; his pores did not contract at all, but instead expanded, as if they were absorbing the energy contained in the water.

Soon, an icy sensation spread throughout his body, circulating along a new, mysterious path, carried along by the Wizard Power. Slowly, tendrils of green appeared on the surface of his skin, darkening as he swam!

Could it be that my body is able to absorb the energy and poison carried in the water?

Yang Ling inspected his palm, streaked with green. According to the memories of the Flying Dragon King, the miraculous effects of the Flying Dragon Lagoon were created by the Dragon Bone Grass growing in and around the lagoon.

In addition to the green-tinted poison, the Dragon Bone Grass contained a compound that could also convert the valley fog into an icy energy, which would then be absorbed by the water. The effects of one blade of Dragon Bone Grass might not be obvious, but the energy released by large clusters of Dragon Bone Grass gathered together would be significant.

Yang Ling recited the Wizard Mantra silently, working to absorb all of the energy contained in the pool of water. Slowly, the icy sensation intensified, and green lines snaking across his skin darkened and sharpened.

The training method of the poison technique on the stele was unique, placing emphasis on the fact that the person training the technique should test the poison using his own body and through that condense and accumulate the poison in his body. According to the explanation on the stele, his body's resistance to poison would be far superior to an average person's after having trained the technique to a certain degree. He would also be able to attack his enemies using the poisonous substances around him through his mental energy. The technique was powerful.

The poison condensed, and then condensed further…

As Yang Ling put in his best effort in condensing the poison, it slowly formed a small orb inside him, orbiting around the Wizard Core at high speed. As the amount of poison he absorbed increased, the orb grew slowly as it darkened in color.

If Yang Ling had opened his eyes, he would have realized that the green streaks on his skin had turned shades darker, from pale green to ink. From a distance, the color looked similar to the skin tone of the Flying Dragons.

Yang Ling realized some time later that he had subconsciously entered the space of the Wizard's Pagoda.

Compared to the last time he was there, the space of the Wizard's Pagoda had expanded substantially, as though it was growing as every second passed. Correspondingly, the white fog released by the Wizard's Pagoda also became increasingly thicker.

Yang Ling wondered if he was imagining the faint roars coming from inside the Wizard's Pagoda, following the pattern of his heartbeat. As he focused in, he noticed that there were minute ripples in the air. Familiar ripples came from all around him, and Yang Ling could clearly sense the minuscule movements of every blade of grass even with his eyes closed.

In the outside world, Yang Ling could only teleport short distances when he used the Earth Evasion Technique, but in the space of the Wizard's Pagoda, he could immediately appear at any position he wished without expending any Wizard Power or mental energy. That feeling was as though he held everything in the space of the Wizard's Pagoda within his palm!

Could this be an ability I gained after having advanced to the level of Heaven Wizard?

Yang Ling walked slowly toward the Wizard's Pagoda. Soon, he realized that the Wizard's Pagoda had changed.

A corridor, about two steps wide, had appeared behind the stele. The thick fog billowed continuously on both sides like walls.

The corridor was winding, with steps leading upward. Following the path forward, Yang Ling soon arrived at a door that looked identical to the main door.He pushed open the heavy wooden door and saw a stele that seemed to be an exact replica of the one behind him.
