Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 531: See the truth at noon tomorrow (new book content)

What do you want.

Li Qing was silent for a while, and finally followed Rosenberg's advice to clear his mind of thoughts, follow his true heart, and get what he wanted, then he would lose something accordingly.

In terms of magic, everything has rules. Sacrifice and gain are inherently connected; only by sacrificing can one gain.

But the summoning magic taught by Rosenberg did not require any sacrifices; it demanded everything.

All mine, all mine!

That's roughly the essence of it: the point is, I've already handed over the offering to you, regardless of whether the price is right or not, I'm just a magic practitioner, don't be ungrateful...

No one knows how much time had passed, but suddenly Li Qing felt something being stuffed into his head, a sensation so wondrous, as if an extraordinary essence was injected into his soul.

It made his whole body tremble.

"Gained something... hssss... then it's destined to lose something... hssss!"

It was at this moment!

Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the shadow crawling on the offering. As he quickly uttered two bizarre syllables, the spiritual power in his mind burst forth, pouring into the altar in an instant.

Buzz!

Countless magic runes on the altar suddenly released a green glow.

Then, Li Qing saw chains formed by numerous magic runes tightly bind the blurred shadow.

"Squeak!!!"

A sharp squeaking sound suddenly arose, and Li Qing's pupils shrank in horror as he watched the shadow being rapidly dragged towards him by the rune chains, crashing fiercely into his brow.

Li Qing fell backward, unconscious.

The basement, once crawling with shadows, began to brighten gradually, and those pervasive shadows quickly contracted, finally disappearing without a trace.

The magic altar also calmed down, with nothing strange remaining.

...

...

When Li Qing woke up, nearly ten hours had passed.

Holding his head in pain, he slowly propped himself up against the wall, then slowly stood up as his blurry vision began to clear.

"Hmm? Agh?!!"

The information appearing in his vision completely left Li Qing dumbfounded.

"Devil Altar: It seems that by sacrificing something, one can get a response from the devil."

Looking at the information displayed in his vision, Li Qing shifted his gaze downwards, focusing on the nearly dried hotpot.

"Offerings eaten by the devil appear exceptionally delicious and agreeable to the devil's taste, but the crimson broth seems a bit too spicy~"

So, the devil's hissing sounds were due to finding the hotpot too spicy, causing the odd sounds?

So, can I see my information?

With a slight thought, Li Qing's personal panel quickly appeared before him.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: None

Possessed Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Not Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)

Character Evaluation: Cunning Villain!!!"

Cunning villain?

Oh, how much enmity there must be to evaluate me like this.

Li Qing felt a bit speechless, then, regaining his composure, he felt dizzy, and his body felt incredibly weak.

It seems that displaying the information about objects consumes a lot of physical strength and spirit.

Following my inner desires, could it be...

Could it be that after reading so many novels, my heart also yearned for the system to possess me, so I got a system cheat from the devil, a system?!

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel excited. If not for Rosenberg repeatedly emphasizing that they could only summon the devil once at their current stage, he would really want to try again.

Excitedly hopping around the basement for a while, Li Qing settled down, then delightedly discovered that the light ball in his mind began to change, with starlight dots radiated by the light ball slowly spreading throughout the entire sea of consciousness.

Magic power can be gathered now!

Li Qing felt invigorated, filled with impatience.

Without hesitating further, he rehearsed several times to simulate magic power gathering.

Quickly packing up, he took three steps up to his bedroom and lay on the bed.

In terms of gathering magic power, posture doesn't matter as long as one is comfortable.

What is magic power?

According to the explanation in the magic book "Formation of Magic Power," magic power originates from oneself, a combination of spiritual power and physical power, but it leans more towards the attribute nature released by the spirit, with the body making the magic power more cohesive and controllable.

This is also why mages focus more on spiritual growth, with many neglecting the body. Some extreme mages even transform themselves into purely spiritual beings.

But in Gray Magic Academy, the book "Formation of Magic Power" repeatedly stresses that the magical path is long, with spirit and body complementing each other, an essential balance.

Li Qing slowly calmed his mind, the lines in the light ball envisioned in Meditation Skill began to fill with white light.

Finally, the white light continuously spread, connecting with the lines to form a true light ball slowly rotating in his mind.

This process was very slow. As the light ball took shape, the starlight scattered by its rotation spread throughout the sea of consciousness, and the starlight slowly sank, gently flowing into the body.

Gradually, a force deep within his body began to awaken and integrate with the starlight.

As time passed slowly, the moment when the spiritual starlight completed the fusion with the body's energy, the fused material surged into the mind.

Boom!

Li Qing felt a buzz in his head, his face pale, an immense pain suddenly attacking, making his body tremble as if rolling on the bed.

For ten minutes, the pain that seeped into his bones slowly subsided, as Li Qing gasped heavily and slowly got up, feeling dizzy for a good while before recollecting himself.

Succeded?

Li Qing perceived the half-transparent, smoky substance revolving around the light ball in his mind; with each rotation, the light ball imprinted in meditation secreted a scant amount of mist combining within it.

Is this magic power?

Li Qing felt very intrigued. With a thought, the magic power in his brow began to slowly rotate and flow throughout his body, and when this gauzy magic power saturated his body, Li Qing stood up and moved a bit.

"As expected..."

No amplification, the main role of magic power is indeed for casting spells, not for strengthening the body.

From a certain perspective, magic power is just a tool, a medium for parsing, constructing, and releasing.

Retrieving the magic power, pooling it in his brow and mind, Li Qing's face lit up with excitement.

Once magic power is formed, it will slowly increase with each session of meditation. Moreover, due to the special nature of the Gray Magic Academy's "Basic Meditation Technique," after converging into a light ball, it will naturally rotate like a celestial body, thereby secreting magic power automatically.

What delighted him was that he could finally formally study magic.
