Soon Lin Yun put away those thoughts and shifted his attention to the strength
of the body itself. That was what Lin Yun really cared about.
The experience of surviving 20 years in the post apocalyptic world, gave Lin Yun
a frenzied attitude when it came to mana. Otherwise he may have not survived
in that era. Fierce sand monsters, unusually high temperatures, deadly
radiations from the void storms. It was easy for him to die.
What helped Lin Yun to survive in that era wasn’t a good family, nor a bright
future. It was the mana in his hand.
Lin Yun didn’t care about how embarrassing his situation, nor how much debt he
owed now. After all the strength of a nine level mage apprentice isn’t high
enough. If Mafa was an archmage, who would dare to come to him with 8000
gold coin contract. Hell, even if it was a 80,000 contract, nobody would dare to
demand him to pay it.
After careful inspection, Lin Yun discovered that the body of Mafa Merlin is
actually quite good. Although a nine level mage apprentice wasn’t worth
mentioning, his foundations were quite solid. Perhaps because of the diligent
training. His mana has accumulated enough to reach the critical point of forming
a vortex. The reason that he didn’t advance yet, is that his control over mana
was lacking.
This was a simple task for Lin Yun. After all he spent more than 20 years in the
post apocalyptic world calculating how to use less mana. After 20 years, his
control over mana was impeccable.
In fact, not just Lin Yun who was like this. Every magician in the age of mana
depletion was like this. They would the deadly radiation and the high
temperature for a few days in the desert to absorb a bit of mana from the void
storms.
Lin Yun who grew up in that environment, was more superior the magicians of
this era when it come to control the mana. What Mafa couldn’t do was nothing
at all for Lin Yun.
Lin Yun spent almost 10 minutes to know about his new body.
After 10 minutes, Lin Yun’s understanding of this body was no less than Mafa
Merlin himself. So he started pushing the already accumulated mana. Under his
control, the mana flowed like water.
At the beginning the flow was soft and steady, like a winding stream. But with Lin
yun’s urging it turned into a raging river, rushing and impacting his new body.
For most mage apprentice, this the most critical moment. Once one lost control
of the mana, he’ll be swallowed by it. If the mana dispersed, he’ll have to start
accumulating it again, and probably lose the chance to form a mana vortex
forever.
That’s the reason why there’re so many mage apprentices, while there are few
official mages. Mafa has been stuck in the nine level mage apprentice for 3
years, but he never dared to take the last step.
However, Lin Yun didn’t have such problem.
Lin Yun’s control ability was so strong, that he didn’t need to do anything. Just
push the mana to the limits and let it run like a flood destroying a dam. Then his
body instincts will kick in and naturally control everything. The flow of mana
seemed violent, but it flowed along the path set by Lin Yun.
In the blink of an eye, a mana vortex was formed in the body of Lin Yun.
Once a mage apprentice reaches that point, he becomes qualified to wear black
robes. He just needs to spend some time to stabilize the mana vortex and his
advancement can be considered complete, successfully becoming an official
mage.
But Lin Yun didn’t stop. As if he didn’t know that the mana vortex formed. He
pushed the mana to the limits. But the newly formed vortex was extremely fragile
and couldn’t withstand the impact of overloading mana, so it went *poof* and
then collapsed.
Lin Yun wasn’t anxious at all. He just continued to push the mana to form the
vortex with that violent method, to have it collapse again under the impact of
overloading mana.
This cycle was enough to stun any magician. It lasted more than 10 times,
before the vortex finally stabilized.
By that time, Lin Yun was unable to break it again. So he happily sent the mana
into the vortex.
The quiet and silent vortex, with the arrival of mana began to rotate slowly and
unceasingly. Lin Yun raised his hand. There were numerous runes emerging
from them. Violent magic fluctuations filled the room and the sound *ziz..* could
be heard in the air.
If any magician witnessed it he have to admit that’s an almost perfect vortex
with high explosive powers and can be compared to the top magicians. The
most amazing thing is that the time it took to complete it was just a few minutes.
In this era, only Lin Yun could do this.
Because it will take many years for magicians to master the mana control ability,
and achieve enough proficiency to form the vortex this way. Not only can this
method shorten the time to form the vortex, but it also increase its capacity and
explosive power. But it will take hundreds of years for magicians to perfect this
technique.
The runes dispersed away. Lin Yun was going to further improve his mana
vortex, when he heard a sound coming from outside.
“ This is a clear case. My cousin took away 8000 GC from me, before going to
the sea. Now he screwed up his business. Who’re going to compensate me
now? But I’m not an unreasonable person. I know that you have no money right
now. How about selling me this mansion. I will lose money and give you a
discount and but it for 10,000 GC, so that in addition to returning my money,
you will have 2000 GC on hand ”
The sound coming from far away was dumb and broken like the quacking of a
duck. Lin Yun, who was thinking about how to improve the mana vortex, was
bombarded with such noise. How can his mood be good?
“ You seems excited about collecting your debt ” Lin Yun clenched his teeth and
was thinking about what to do, should he go and twist the neck of that quacking
duck.
While Lin Yun was hesitating, the door was pushed away suddenly, and a fat
man weighing 300 pounds entered followed by a 60 years old man, the two
seemed arguing about something.
“Let go, you hear me, i told you to let go, Pavia, you old geezer, don’t think
because I’m polite to you, you can do whatever you want, you’re just a butler,
things aren’t up to you, they’re up to your master”
“Farion, what’s with the 8000 GC? You know it was given to you by the old
master, Have you even paid a copper coin, now the old master is gone so you
want to embezzle his mansion, How can you be so shameless? ” The old man
slammed Farion’s arms, perhaps because it was hard or because of his anger,
the wrinkled face of the old man became red, with his finger nearly poking
Farion’s face “ I tell you, Farion. Unless I, Pavia, am dead, you will never have
the mansion”
“Old man, are you threatening me? ” the fat guy became angry as the old man
mentioned the truth about the contract “ you better know your place, be careful
of...”
The two of them were arguing when Lin Yun curiously asked “ Be careful of
what ?” Farion stopped his threat half way because he found it wasn’t the old
butler but his nephew who was said to have the potential to be a magician.
Farion has always been full of disdain towards that statement, who can’t be a
magician with all that gold spent on him.
Not to mention now after Rogge’s death, all he done was overworking himself
to pay his debts, if he had the potential to become a mage would he stoop so
low.
