Constructing-Style Wizard

He held onto the collar, rubbing his finger on the magic gemstone on the belt, a sensation like an electric shock spread from his fingertip.

Rows of system characters quickly emerged in Noland Lee’s mind.

[System Message:]

[You have made contact with the “Miniature Soul Stasis Gemstone”.]

[Carrying this gemstone on your person, and with skin contact, you will gain the following effects:]

[1. “Consciousness Blockade”, your consciousness will no longer be able to leave your body to enter any magic space, such as the Silent Yard.]

[2. “Psychic Suppression”, the ancient Dragon Clan collectively referred to magic and all extraordinary abilities as “Psychic”. They discovered that the soul is the key to activating extraordinary abilities. The “Psychic Suppression” effect of this gemstone, will effectively suppress soul-level turbulence, thereby reducing the extraordinary power of the wearer.]

[Note:]

[“Psychic Suppression” only targets extraordinary abilities driven by the soul. As the second of the three primal forces, “Life Force” and “Physical Strength” will not be affected by “Psychic Suppression”.]

[Any spell or skill that can be cast with “Soul Strength” is driven by the soul.]

[Please check the skill list of the host and wear this gemstone carefully.]

Noland Lee noticed the last line of the system text.

He pulled up his skill list and carefully checked it through.

Death-related spells, 18, all can be cast with Soul Strength.

Psychic Spells, 12, all can be cast with Soul Strength.

Generic Spells, “Magic Shield”, can be cast with Soul Strength.

Looking at the overall situation, only the Dusk Breathing Method and “Power Burst” obtained from “The Soul Casting Technique” do not need to consume Soul Strength. These two skills only use Energy Points.

This should be the difference between “Soul Driven” and “Physical Strength Driven”. Skills driven by the soul cannot do without soul energy and can also be replaced with other energy. Skills driven by physical strength, do not need soul energy at all.

As for skills driven by life force…

Noland Lee flipped through his knowledge reserves and found the Night Spirit Spell deconstructed from Fugidia’s relic. This branch of spellcasting involves life force. But unfortunately, all Night Spirit Spells require Soul Energy, or Blood Magic Power as a substitute for Soul Energy. They still fall under the category of skills driven by the soul.

So, up until now, Noland Lee has not obtained any skills purely driven by life force.

After wearing the “Imprisonment Collar”, “Power Burst” will become his trump card.

So, can I use “Power Burst” to cheat?

Noland Lee blinked his eyes at the collar in his hand.

He looked around at the contestants. They were primarily wizards and a few strong men wearing armor.

Those armored strong men, after putting on the collar, gritted their teeth and broke into laughter, clearly finding that the infamous “Imprisonment Collar” had no effect on their muscles. The look in their eyes when they looked at the wizards carried a teasing flavor, as if looking at a group of lambs ready for slaughter.

When the wizard contestants put on the collar, their faces showed discomfort, but they basically remained calm and collected, showing no signs of panic. This means that even if the wizards have been suppressed a part of their strength, they still have enough confidence to confront the armored strong men with brute force.

By combining the magic knowledge he has learned recently, Noland Lee saw some tricks.

The mainstream power system in this world is the wizard. Even a First Rank Combat Wizard can fight back and forth with a third, fourth, or even fifth order brute force extraordinary. This is a consensus-like existence.

Such an unbalanced system of extraordinary is entirely caused by the overly powerful magic of the wizards.

But it makes sense.

This world is not made by any game company, and there is no need to pursue balance among professions. The strength of the wizards is the result of natural development.

Noland Lee wore the collar calmly, with the gemstone placed closely against his left wrist.

The system sent a reminder, all of his spell skills were forcibly reduced to the Level 10 equivalent. While the power of spells has decreased, the rewards for upgrading every ten levels did not change. “The Death Two Finger” is still “The Death Two Finger”, not devolved to “The Death Finger”.

Besides that, his “Spirit” attribute value temporarily dropped to 30 points, which is the level of a First Rank Wizard.

Noland Lee threw out the Deconstruction and took a look.

The “Soul Stasis Gemstone” on his wrist is Level 50, produced by the Wizard Enforcement Department in the Ulnas circle, originally a criminal restraint tool, but somehow it was caught by the Baron’s Championship.

The Level 50 “Soul Stasis Gemstone” can suppress the strength of an extraordinary that is not higher than Level 50.

Noland Lee needs to consume 15,000 points of energy to untether it.

Noland Lee was considering the possibility of breaking the gemstone in a fight, and did not rush to dissolve the gemstone.

As he pondered in silence, Denise Green tugged at his sleeve and whispered:

“Look, I noticed that there are quite a few grey wizards participating in the competition. Be careful. Many grey wizards do not take the usual route and may master weird spells.”

“Okay, don’t worry, Denise.” Noland Lee came to his senses, held her hand, and gently rubbed it to comfort her.

After a short while, all the contestants had arrived, and the spectator stands were full.
