Chapter 273 Absorbing the Heart of the Ancient Tree

On the reef, Colin pondered for a moment, and then focused his attention on the first category of ways to strengthen the body's foundation given in the crystal -

'Plant life energy transformation...'

At first, he only saw the name, and thought that the transformation of plant life energy might be carried out by relying on the heart of the ancient tree in the body.

But the truth is not that simple.

The main reason why it is necessary to strengthen the foundation of the body is to prepare for the advancement of a second-level wizard——

Only a strong enough body can carry the powerful soul of a second-level wizard and unleash the full power of the soul.

As for the extent to which the body needs to be strengthened, the crystal has detailed markings——

The life energy is at least six times the average level of the great knight!

As for the average life energy level of the Grand Knight, which is also the blood energy level... Colin secretly used the blood energy in his body as a comparison.

I am about 1.7 to 1.8 times the average.

However, the life energy actually changes with each method of strengthening the body's foundation.

Among all the methods to strengthen the body's foundation, no method can retain the most original and pure blood.

...After the bloodline transformation, it will become the power of the bloodline, while the elemental transformation is linked to the energy level.

Therefore, strictly speaking, blood does not belong to any kind of life energy.

This is the consensus of all wizards.

The human body has a limit to strengthening, and this limit is the Great Knight.

‘Six times the level of the average great knight is the minimum level, and ten times the level of the average great knight is the recommended level…’

The sea breeze blew slowly. Colin raised his arms and clenched his fists slightly. Surging power surged under his skin, and furnace-like heat radiated from his body...

But such power is still far from the minimum level of physical foundation required to advance to the second level.

This is the level reached only after the Knight's Breathing Technique has been broken many times and synthesized once...

Colin's expression was silent, and he carefully looked at the plant life energy transformation again... and once again confirmed that with his current conditions, it was indeed impossible to start strengthening the foundation of the body immediately.

In order to bring the life energy to such a high level, the transformation plan formulated by the wizards can be described as extremely complicated.

'Maybe in the future, with the transformation of the gold paper, the transformation plan recorded on the crystal can be successfully transformed into using the energy of the heart of the ancient tree to replace specific plant energy...'

'But that's in the future, at least not now. ’

But... Colin turned his eyes, stood with his legs shoulder-width apart, and began to practice the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Since higher-level body-related strengthening of the body's foundation cannot be achieved for the time being.

So at this moment, the only method related to the body that may be able to accelerate the release of heat flow from the Heart of the Ancient Tree is the Knight's Breathing Method, which has not been practiced for a long time.

In the hidden realm composed of silence and invisible shadows, Colin continued to practice according to the movements and breathing of Yiguang breathing method.

The blood energy was slowly mobilized under the influence of the breathing method, moving back and forth towards the limbs and bones like a tide... but it did not grow stronger.

His body has reached its limit.

The young man Ant on the side seemed to have successfully entered a meditative state. He was not aware of Colin's movements at all and just sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

In this way, about an hour passed, and a complete set of Yiguang breathing method was completed.

Colin stopped and stood quietly, his heart sinking slightly.

During the whole process, the Heart of the Ancient Tree showed no reaction at all, and could only vaguely feel the warmth coming from its chest...

‘A question about Knight’s Breathing Technique? Or is it that the Heart of the Ancient Tree simply cannot be released through external force...'

Just when Colin was secretly wondering, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind——

"The combination of Yiguang breathing method and the basic knowledge of strengthening the body's foundation may have unexpected effects."

This sudden inspiration obviously came from the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment... Well, the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment is only an assistant and does not have the ability to think. The idea itself is generated by oneself.

Colin shook his head, not entangled, but followed the guidance of his own inspiration, trying to combine the Yiguang breathing method with the basic knowledge of strengthening the body's foundation in the crystal.

The so-called strengthening the foundation of the body, regardless of the methods used and the similarities and differences in energy, will ultimately fall into strengthening the body.

In other words, it falls on the foundation of the body.

And this so-called foundation of the body... In Colin's opinion, it is somewhat similar to the concepts of essence and qi that he often heard in his previous life. That is, vitality and energy.

'I don't know what the situation is like over there with Anna...'

Colin took a breath, his mind gradually calmed down, and he carefully studied the combination of breathing methods and strengthening the foundation of the body...

Time passed quietly like this, and before I knew it, the skylight in the distance had dimmed, and the night had faded a little.

And Colin finally made some breakthroughs.

In the dim skylight, he practiced the Yiguang breathing method again.

But this time, he intentionally vibrated the blood in his body that could no longer grow in the process of practicing the Yiguang Breathing Method in a way that strengthened the foundation of the body, such as the magic sea on his chest, the center of his eyebrows, etc. wait.

Then, as the consumption of blood energy reaches a certain level.

The heart of the ancient tree on his chest finally moved.

A small wave of heat began to spread from the chest to the limbs.

Colin was delighted and quickly called out the gold paper.

Pale golden particles gathered in front of him, and a piece of ancient gold paper that was between illusion and reality slowly emerged in front of him.

Waited quietly for a while.

After about two minutes, a faint "↑" symbol appeared behind the wizard level progress column!

‘Every time the Heart of the Ancient Tree is modified, it can indeed slightly improve the progress of the wizard’s training! ’

The corners of Colin's mouth curled up slightly. He put away the gold paper and practiced the Yiguang breathing method again, which was combined with the basic knowledge of strengthening the body.

‘The Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment is indeed a more useful treasure than the Scepter of Foolishness! ’

His arms cut through the air, and he felt the obvious improvement with each move, making Colin feel more and more happy.

Compared with external objects, he still prefers his own real improvement!

Now that I have found a way to accelerate the absorption of the heart of the ancient tree, my worries about not being at a high level to activate the teleportation array are suddenly gone.

More than half an hour passed, and the orange-yellow sun slowly rose from the sea in the distance, and Colin stopped his work and stood still again.

As if he felt something, he subconsciously opened the gold paper and discovered to his surprise that the progress behind the wizard level had quietly improved a bit!

Feel the heat flow in your body again, almost half of it has been absorbed.

‘Sure enough, Yiguang breathing method combined with the specific vibration frequency of the energy recorded in the foundation of strengthening the body can not only speed up the release of heat flow from the heart of the ancient tree, but also speed up the absorption of heat flow! ’

'But... I actually improved my wizard level a little bit more so quickly. ’

Putting the gold paper away, Colin vaguely realized that the improvement in level progress was due to the improvement of his own qualifications.

Then, there is a high probability that such an improvement will have an upper limit... When the qualifications are raised to the limit, absorbing the Heart of the Ancient Tree will no longer have the effect of increasing the wizard's level.
