Chapter 240: Chapter 147: Enhancing the Lightning Element, a More Advanced Alchemy Engraving
"My physique has increased by 1.88 energy levels."
Pei Ze smiled in satisfaction.
Even without other effects, the physique enhancement alone was cause for delight.
’After all, with my current physique, even an increase of one energy level would have been impressive.’
"The Power of Thunder Element has also been noticeably strengthened."
Pei Ze extended his hand. Lightning flickered unceasingly in his palm as he felt the changes in his Power of Thunder Element.
’Next, my capacity for Thunder Energy Particles.’
Pei Ze swiped his hand through the air. One after another, Lightning Runes materialized in the void, vying to merge into his body.
Only after absorbing nineteen Lightning Runes did his body begin to feel an unbearable sense of saturation.
"Two more Lightning Runes than before."
Pei Ze was delighted.
’This enhancement is almost as significant as when I advanced to Tier Three Legend.’
’Back then, I only gained the capacity for three more Lightning Runes.’
However, Pei Ze also understood that for this type of enhancement potion, the first dose was always the most effective. The effects would diminish with each subsequent use.
’Still, gaining capacity for another four or five Lightning Runes shouldn’t be a problem.’
’Even if it stops working, it’s fine. In the future, I can just capture a higher-level thunder-type Magical Creature, refine the technique, and create an even more potent enhancement potion.’
"For now, I’ll name this one Thundering Potion."
Pei Ze smiled faintly and resumed refining the Thundering Potion.
It wasn’t just a potion for him; Peng Yan could also take it.
Peng Yan had also awakened the Power of Thunder Element.
As for Su Ya, she had awakened the Power of Fire Element and Wind Elemental Power, making the Thundering Potion unsuitable for her.
’When I find the time, I can develop a potion to enhance the Power of Fire Element. It wouldn’t be too late to strengthen her then.’
...
「Ten days passed in a flash.」
After continuously taking the Thundering Potion for a period of time, Pei Ze’s physique broke through the 60-energy-level mark.
However, the Thundering Potion’s effects had also reached their limit.
「High above the valley.」
Pei Ze hovered five hundred meters in the air, his body clad in an Energy Armor condensed from lightning.
’Twenty-four Lightning Runes. It seems this is the limit.’
Thanks to the enhancement from the Thundering Potion, Pei Ze’s physique alone could now handle twenty-four Lightning Runes. This was a significant increase compared to just over three months ago, when he could only handle a maximum of twenty even when fused with the Silver Star.
And that was just in his regular state.
If he fused with the Silver Star, the number of Lightning Runes he could handle would skyrocket to thirty-nine.
At his absolute limit, that number would reach a staggering forty-two!
If he also activated the Tough Magic Tattoo, the number of Lightning Runes he could handle in his normal and limit states would surge to fifty-one and fifty-four, respectively.
Now, if he went all out, Pei Ze was confident he could face a Level 2 Crystalized Wizard in a direct confrontation.
If he were to unleash the Burning Magic Tattoo, regardless of the cost, it might even be possible to kill one.
’I have four Upper-Level Magic Tattoos now.’
Pei Ze glanced at the slightly sinister-looking tattoo pattern on his wrist.
After his physique reached 60 energy levels, he could handle four Upper-Level Magic Tattoos.
So, over the past few days, he had upgraded the Shelter Magic Tattoo and the Flash Magic Tattoo.
Now, only the Thunder Burst and Giant Magic Tattoos were still at the intermediate level.
Pei Ze estimated he would have to raise his physique to 70 and 80 energy levels, respectively, before he could upgrade those two tattoos.
’It’s a shame the highest level for a Magic Tattoo is just Upper-Level.’
Pei Ze fell into thought.
He had previously used the Eye of Omniscience to improve his Magic Tattoos, but it had only enhanced their power and added a ’burning’ characteristic.
Although the improvement was significant, the Magic Tattoo hadn’t undergone a fundamental evolution. To put it simply, it hadn’t broken through its level cap.
Its limit was still Upper-Level.
’I wonder if I can use the Eye of Omniscience to improve it further?’
The thought had barely formed before Pei Ze dismissed it.
So far, the Eye of Omniscience could improve any knowledge or technique, but it was only ever an improvement.
The fundamental nature of the knowledge and techniques remained unchanged.
A breathing technique was still a breathing technique, and an Elemental Rune was still an Elemental Rune.
No matter how much it was improved, a Magic Tattoo wouldn’t become something else entirely. It would always have its limits.
It was like a handgun. Without changing its fundamental nature, no amount of enhancement could give it the power of a nuclear bomb.
Or perhaps, by the time it possessed the power of a nuclear bomb, it could no longer be considered a handgun.
"Since I can’t improve it further, I’ll just create something new from scratch."
A flicker in his eyes, Pei Ze decisively issued a command.
"Omniscience, using Magic Tattoos as a reference, create a type of Enchantment Pattern with stronger effects than a Magic Tattoo."
[Please specify parameters]
Pei Ze wasn’t surprised. His request had, after all, been a bit too general.
"It must be something I can handle currently, or can meet the standards for within one year. And the material cost for a single Enchantment Pattern must be within fifty thousand Magic Stone Coins."
Pei Ze made the parameters as broad as possible.
After all, the looser the parameters, the stronger the resulting Enchantment Pattern would be.
[Task created. Commencing creation of new Enchantment Pattern. Estimated requirement: 7845 energy levels]
"’That much!’"
Pei Ze’s brow furrowed.
At that rate, even if he went full throttle, it would take him more than a hundred days.
Moreover, he had to consider his continued consumption of the Sacred Spirit Bud. That required a great deal of Spiritual Power to counteract the corrosive Power of Faith, which meant the time needed to complete the creation would likely stretch to over a year.
’I need to reduce the required energy...’
Pei Ze pondered for a moment, then abruptly slapped his forehead and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"’The Wizard Civilization has existed for over ten thousand years. There’s no way Magic Tattoos are the only kind of Enchantment Pattern. There must be more advanced ones. If I could get my hands on one, I could use it directly instead of creating a new one from scratch.’"
