Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 675: See the real - after tomorrow (new book content)

The process was rather slow. As the light ball took shape, the light points radiated out from its rotation, spreading throughout the sea of consciousness, and the points continued to sink, slowly flowing into the body.

Gradually, a force deep within began to awaken and integrate with the light points.

As time passed, the moment the spiritual light points and the body's energy completed their integration, the fused substance rushed straight into the mind.

Boom!

Li Qing felt his head buzz, his face turning pale, as immense pain instantly invaded, causing his whole body to tremble as if rolling on the bed.

After a full ten minutes, the pain that seeped to the bones slowly subsided. Li Qing took deep breaths, slowly getting up and feeling dizzy for a while before regaining his senses.

Did it succeed?

Li Qing sensed the translucent substance, like smoke or fog, rotating around the light ball in his mind. With each rotation of the light ball imprinted during meditation, a tiny amount of mist was secreted and synthesized, merging into it.

Is this magic power?

Li Qing was quite intrigued. With a thought, the magic power at the center of his brows began to slowly rotate, flowing into his body. When this gossamer magic power filled his body, Li Qing got up and moved.

"Indeed..."

No boost at all. The primary use of magic power is still to perform magic, not to strengthen the body.

In some sense, magic power is just a tool—a medium for analysis, construction, and release.

Retracting the magic power, leaving it coiled in the mind at the center of his brows, Li Qing's face lit up with excitement.

Once magic power is formed, it will gradually increase with each meditation, and due to the unique nature of the Gray Magic Academy's "Basic Meditation Technique," the light ball will automatically rotate like a celestial body, secreting magic power autonomously.

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

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: Junior Apprentice

Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)

Personal Evaluation: A cunning human miscreant with minimal power!!"

The character panel displayed the tier as Junior Apprentice, and the Basic Meditation Technique was already at Entry Level.

Not bad at all.

Li Qing glanced at the mirror beside him out of habit, then fell silent; just now, to condense magic power, he had exhausted a lot of his spirit and physical strength.

The mirror reflected himself, nearly thin as a stick, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

Indeed, before magic power is condensed, the meditation skill consumes a lot of spirit and physical strength, and condensing magic power also depletes a large amount of qi and spirit.

That's why most mages usually look very thin.

Of course, once magic power is condensed, it begins to nourish the body, ensuring one remains healthy and can live to the body's utmost limits without illness.

Unless he makes no further progress.

Time to exercise the body a bit...

A thought flashed through his mind, and he turned his focus to the "Magic Theory" book. "Gained something... sizzle ha... so something is destined to be lost... sizzle ha sizzle ha!"

This is the moment!

Li Qing abruptly opened his eyes, staring at the shadow crouched over the offering, swiftly uttering two bizarre syllables. Suddenly, the spiritual power in his mind exploded, pouring entirely into the altar almost instantaneously.

Buzz!

Countless magic runes on the altar suddenly emitted green gleaming light.

Then, Li Qing saw numerous magic runes forming chains tightly bounding the obscure shadow.

"Screech!!!"

A sharp creaking sound suddenly rang out, Li Qing's pupils contracted in horror as he saw the shadow being pulled at high speed by the rune chains into his brow fiercely.

Li Qing tilted his head and fell unconscious.

The shadow-covered basement slowly began to brighten, the shadows rapidly contracting until they vanished without a trace.

The magic altar also calmed down, without a trace of the supernatural.

...

...

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

Holding his splitting head, he slowly climbed up, then stood firmly, and the blurred vision gradually cleared.

"Hmm? Uh?!!"

Looking at the information appearing in his view, Li Qing was completely stunned.

"Devil's Altar: It seems you only need to offer something to get a devil's response."

Examining the information displayed, Li Qing's gaze turned odd, focusing on the almost dried hot pot.

"A sacrificial offering eaten by the devil; it looks quite delicious and suits the devil's taste, but the scarlet soup seems a bit spicy~"

So the devil's sizzle ha sizzle ha sound was from finding the hot pot too spicy?

Can you see your own information?

Li Qing's mind slightly shifted, and the personal panel quickly appeared before him.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: None 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Not at Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)

Personal Evaluation: Cunning miscreant!!"

Cunning miscreant?

Wow, what a grudge, to evaluate me like this.

Li Qing was a bit speechless, then came to his senses, feeling dizzy, his body utterly weak.

It seems this display of object information consumes a lot of physical and spiritual strength.

Following my inner desires, could it be...

Could it be that after reading so many novels, my inner self also longed for a system to embody, hence getting a system flow golden finger from the devil, a system?!

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

He bounced back and forth excitedly in the basement for quite a while before calming down, and to his surprise, he discovered that the light ball in his mind had started changing, with the starlight points emitted by the light ball slowly spreading throughout the sea of consciousness.

Magic power can be condensed!

Li Qing's expression was filled with excitement, and he was eager and impatient.

Without further hesitation, he quickly packed up, stepped three steps at a time up the staircase to the bedroom, and lay on the bed.

For condensing magic power, any position is fine, as long as it's comfortable.

What is magic power?

According to the "Formation of Magic Power" magic book's explanation, magic power originates from oneself, a combination of spiritual power and physical power, but leans more towards a unique attribute nature released spiritually, with the body allowing magic power to be more condensed and controllable.

This is why mages focus more on spiritual growth, often neglecting the body, with some extreme mages even transforming themselves into purely spiritual beings.

But in the Gray Magic Academy's "Formation of Magic Power," the book emphasizes time and again that the magical path is long and that spirit and body complement each other, one cannot do without the other.
