Chapter 68 Spells and Healing

"To coax Mommy..."

"Water Arrow Technique"

Inside the room, Chen Hao silently chanted an incantation, then mobilized his magic power, waved his staff, and condensed a water arrow in front of him, shooting it forward.

The water jet hit the wall, carving a hole twenty or thirty centimeters deep.

"Three seconds."

Chen Hao said.

This is the time required to cast [Water Arrow].

After inheriting the [Water Arrow Technique], Chen Hao practiced it for a period of time.

The dozen or so holes in the wall are proof of that.

Ultimately, Chen Hao stabilized the time it took to cast the [Water Arrow Technique] within three seconds.

It wasn't that Chen Hao didn't want to go faster, but that he couldn't go any faster.

Unless he masters the technique of rapid chanting.

In the process of inheriting various spells, Chen Hao also acquired some basic knowledge of spells.

For example, mastering rapid chanting techniques can speed up the casting of spells, and may even allow them to be cast instantly.

For example, there are five types of mages: fire element mages, metal element mages, water element mages, earth element mages, and wood element mages.

Spells of different attributes are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

For example, water can overcome fire, but a raging fire can also evaporate a trickle of water; earth can overcome water, but a flood can also wash away the soil.

Although attributes have mutual restraint, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.

As for the rapid chanting technique, it is not specifically described in the tradition.

But Chen Hao guessed that this was likely a skill, possibly hidden in one of the cards.

"I just don't know if I can find this kind of card."

Chen Hao shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Then he summoned Zhang Long and Zhou Wen.

"Brother Chen, you were looking for us."

The two were feeling a bit better, but the injured areas were causing them more pain.

The previous tense atmosphere and continuous adrenaline secretion weakened their sense of pain.

Now in a safe environment, the adrenaline has subsided, and the pain has returned to normal, immediately causing them to feel intense pain.

Unfortunately, there were no doctors here, so they could only wipe it with alcohol and disinfect it.

"Hmm," Chen Hao nodded.

Then he said to Zhao Long, "Stretch out your injured arm."

Although Zhao Long was puzzled, he still obediently did as instructed.

An arm covered in large bruises was stretched out in front of Chen Hao, and he could smell the lingering scent of alcohol on it.

Then, Chen Hao chanted an incantation and waved the staff in his hand.

He was casting the [Water Healing] spell, and the staff in his hand was a golden piece of equipment—the [Wolf King Staff].

It was revealed when he killed the wolf king.

It has two effects: increasing spell damage by 20% and reducing mana cost by 10%.

As long as Chen Hao holds the staff and casts a spell, both effects will be automatically activated.

In addition, there are three additional spells: [Wind Blade], [Lightness], and [Summon Wolf King].

As long as Chen Hao expends some of his mana and inputs it into the staff, he can cast these spells almost instantly.

When the Wolf King Staff in Chen Hao's hand glowed blue, condensing into a ball of light like a water sphere, and landed on Zhao Long's arm, which was covered in large bruises, the two people watching Chen Hao cast the spell couldn't help but open their mouths in shock.

Its mouth was so wide open that you could fit an egg inside.

"Brother Chen, what... what's going on?"

Zhao Long looked incredulous and stammered as he spoke.

"I'm a mage now, let me heal you."

Chen Hao gave a simple answer.

"How are you feeling now?"

Chen Hao asked.

"W-what does it feel like?"

"Does your arm still hurt?"

Chen Hao raised his voice, which immediately snapped Zhao Long out of his daze, and he quickly checked his arm.

"Hey, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

"The bruises on my arm have faded a lot."

Zhao Long looked at his arm, which now only had a faint bruise, with excitement on his face.

However, he quickly thanked Chen Hao, saying, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

"Um."

Chen Hao simply responded with a faint "yes".

Then he waved to Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen excitedly approached Chen Hao and showed him the scars on his back.

Chen Hao repeated his previous actions and used the [Water Therapy] technique again.

Soon, Zhou Wen's back injury also began to heal rapidly.

Zhou Wen's previously hunched back immediately straightened up.

"You feel most comfortable when you're healthy."

A look of relief appeared on Zhou Wen's face, and then he quickly bowed deeply to Chen Hao: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Chen Hao responded with a faint "hmm".

"Alright, now that your injuries have healed, you can leave."

Chen Hao waved for them to leave.

Although the two had a lot of questions, they didn't dare to ask and could only turn around and prepare to leave.

"By the way, if anyone asks how your injuries healed so quickly, just tell them directly, there's no need to hide anything."

"Yes, Brother Chen."

The two then went outside.

As Chen Hao had predicted, the rapid healing of their injuries caused a great stir.

Everyone guessed that Chen Hao must have used some amazing medicine to cure the two of them.

For a moment, no one stepped forward to ask, they just looked at them with envy.

This left Zhao Long and Zhou Wen looking at each other in bewilderment.

Inside the room, Chen Hao was recovering his magical power.

Having used the [Water Healing] spell twice in a row, plus the [Water Arrow] spell he had used multiple times before, his mana was almost depleted.

To restore magical power, meditation is required.

Meditating for about a minute will restore three points of mana.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate once again that he had chosen the three-star difficulty job change quest.

Because if a mage has undergone a one-star difficulty class change, meditating for one minute will only restore one point of mana.

It can be said that the gap is reflected in every aspect.

Chen Hao only needs to meditate for 100 minutes to fully restore his mana.

So how do you increase your mana? There are three ways.

The first and most tedious method is meditation. With full mana, you gain one point of mana for every hour you meditate.

However, meditation consumes mental energy, and a one-star mage can only meditate for a maximum of six hours a day.

This is because Chen Hao is a mage who has changed his class at a three-star difficulty level. A mage who changes his class at a one-star difficulty level needs to meditate for three hours to increase his magic power by even a little bit.

The second option is the most dangerous: participate in the Mage Trial. Successfully passing it guarantees at least a few dozen points of mana. If you perform well and get a high score, you can gain hundreds of points of mana.

What is the Mage Trial? It is a test for mages, which puts them in dangerous environments to perform a series of tasks. If they complete the tasks and survive, they will receive many benefits. If they die, they will truly die.

Participating in the Mage Trial is not easy; you need to obtain a Trial Card.

Anyway, Chen Hao has never encountered such a card.

The third and easiest method is to directly use mana cards to increase mana.

As for mana cards, they are obtained by killing creatures that can cast spells; there is a small chance that these mana cards will drop.

Furthermore, there's a small chance that only a mage can kill it.

If it's a martial artist, or even someone who hasn't changed classes, who kills them, then the probability is 0.

Therefore, the Blue-skinned Frogman Leader that Chen Hao killed did not drop a single mana card for him.

However, he can try his luck by converting the cards.

After meditating for 20 minutes and gaining more magical power, he stopped meditating and began converting the cards.

He currently has as many as 60 cards that he can transform.

They consist of 34 white water cards, 23 white meat cards, and 15 white salt cards.

Apart from that, there were no other cards of the same type with more than 10 copies.

"Transformation".

Chen Hao did not hesitate.
