Chapter 239: Chapter 212: Wrath of Flamefrost (Part 6)

Generally speaking, the rule a wizard chooses to study when advancing to the Third Level is the most private and core secret of a wizard.

This concerns the future developmental direction of the wizard, their combat methods, and even the ceiling of their entire wizard career.

However, considering Viola’s notoriously bad temperament, there’s no need to ponder what rule she would choose.

Without a doubt, Viola chose the “Pain” Rule!

This rule in the Wizard World belongs to a relatively obscure branch.

It’s quite peculiar. If used purely for combat, the direct enhancement to combat power isn’t very large.

Especially if you encounter some battle-hardened, iron-willed creatures, the effect of this rule will be further weakened.

However, when facing certain special creatures, this rule has an exceptionally exaggerated auxiliary effect.

For example… the Living Ice and Flame Plane before us.

For enemies like this, inherently powerful and as long-lived as the plane itself, and belonging to the elemental creature type, they may have never experienced the sensation of “pain” since their birth.

Its existence is the rule and power itself, overlooking the life and death of countless beings within the plane, yet never immersing itself in them.

Conversely, when first encountering continuous, soul-deep pain, this powerful living plane is bound to be significantly affected.

Its battle rhythm gets disrupted, the mobilization of power becomes sluggish, and there are even flaws in its control over its own rules!

After realizing this, Jeming also understood another matter.

So, Master Augustine’s order for the Wizard Camp to self-destruct was not just to inflict severe damage on the opponent.

It was for a deeper purpose—to let the opponent feel the most “initial” pain!

As long as the first feeling of pain is there, as long as a crack named “pain” has been left on that indestructible “shell.”

Viola can use her rules, like a maggot in the bones, to make this living plane continuously endure this unprecedented torment.

Jeming looked at Viola with some astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that this senior, who only had the strength of a Third Level Wizard, could occupy such an important strategic position in such a high-level battle.

But after understanding this, he couldn’t help but chide, “Senior, you have such an important task, and yet you still come to slack off here with me?”

Viola nonchalantly waved her hand and said, “Who said I’m slacking off? I’ve been working hard all along, okay!”

After a pause, Viola explained to him, “The rule has already successfully influenced the other side from the very beginning. After the living plane felt pain, its painful emotions became a precise coordinate. As long as my spiritual power exists, it will forever lock onto that big guy.”

“It doesn’t matter where I am, as long as I can still lock onto the opponent, I can continuously inflict pain. Here, and in the command room, it’s actually no different.”

While chatting with Viola, Jeming also constantly paid attention to the battle situation on the light screen.

The exchange of blows between the two behemoths continued, and each collision of energy was enough to make the void tremble.

The main cannon of the Ship Plane, after a round of cooling, completed recharging again.

A beam of destruction, thicker and more solid than before, tore through the void and hit the giant “Magma Mouth” of the living plane with precision.

The terrifying energy exploded instantly, forcibly interrupting the surging magma stream, and even left a dark scorch mark, deep to the bone, on its “lip”!

Under the influence of the Law of Pain, the living plane experienced pain more severe than ever before.

The living plane, in its pain, emitted a more furious silent roar.

Its “Red and Blue Eyes” spun rapidly, and two catastrophes of distinctly different yet equally deadly elements, like two entwined giant dragons, ferociously crashed into the shield of the Ship Plane.

The shield blazed wildly, and the entire Ship Plane emitted a groan of being unable to bear the burden. Countless wizards at their respective nodes quickly adjusted the array, striving with all their might to maintain the energy output.

Looking at the varied data displayed on the light screen and the changes on the field, as time went on, Jeming’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

Because he found that, despite Viola’s “Pain” Rule continuously exerting its effect, the Ship Plane seemed to be gradually and irreversibly falling into a disadvantage!

The terrifying recovery and adaptability of the living plane were gradually manifesting.

It began to get used to the pain, even finding a new battle rhythm within the pain!

Its attacks became more frenzied and more precise!

Viola, beside him, however, seemed not at all surprised, as if she had anticipated such developments.

She looked at the battle situation, which was gradually being suppressed on the light screen, and explained calmly, “Although ’pain’ is very effective for this kind of creature, but… my level is still too low after all.”

She sighed and continued, “For such high-level creatures, if the rule power imposed is not strong enough, even if initially unaccustomed to pain and affected, they will quickly adapt.”

The standards for a wizard’s advancement are not just conditions for promotion, but also the upper limit of the wizard’s ability to wield power.

For a Third Level Wizard to advance to a Fourth Level Wizard, besides the issue of Spiritual Power, the mastery of the Law must reach 1%.

Conversely, no matter how much mastery a Third Level Wizard actually has over a Law, they can at most wield Rule Power infinitely close to 1%.

This is the iron law of the Wizard System and the basis for rank division.

“So… you’re planning to advance to a Fourth Level Wizard here?” Jeming looked at Viola, instantly understanding her plan.

“Yes, and no.” Viola first nodded, then shook her head immediately.

Jeming couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at her expression because there was a kind of unprecedented, almost insane ambition and resolve shimmering in those silver-gray eyes.

She smiled lightly, a smile carrying a hint of excitement, and a hint of madness that made Jeming’s heart shudder:

“This time, I’m planning to advance directly to a Sixth Level Wizard!”

Jeming’s pupils contracted sharply!

He could hardly believe his ears.

Advancing directly from the Third Level, skipping Fourth and Fifth Levels, straight to the Sixth Level?!

Even though he had long suspected this senior sister of his had a grand plan, hearing her intention still shocked Jeming.

This is simply a fantastical notion!

“Impossible… no…” Jeming instinctively wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of something, and couldn’t help but look at Viola in astonishment, “You’ve already mastered the Pain Rule completely?!”

Viola did not answer him but slowly pulled out a vial of Magic Potion from her clothes.

The Magic Potion emitted a bright and pure golden glow, like holding a small sun, dazzling to the extreme!

Within the exquisite crystal bottle, the golden liquid flowed slowly, as if containing the mysteries of the world.

Looking at the Magic Potion, Viola’s face, always carrying a hint of mockery and morbidity, rarely showed a trace of helplessness.

She could not help but murmur lowly: “Just for this vial, I’ve incurred a debt of more than a thousand years!”

But Jeming recognized that Magic Potion.

He had seen records of it in the high-level archives.

It is… the “Soul Ascension Potion”.

It is considered the most suitable Magic Potion within the Wizard Civilization to enhance Spiritual Power during advancement!

Its effect is exceedingly powerful, able to forcibly “ascend” the user’s soul to the next, or even the next, level in a short time without any side effects, meeting the Spiritual Power requirements for advancement.

Although after its effect, the essence of the user’s soul will retreat again.

But if one is successful in advancing during this period, the essence of the Soul Ascension will be retained, and the upper limit and potential of Spiritual Power can undergo substantial permanent expansion!

Afterward, as long as one meditates over a long period, the Spiritual Power upper limit that decreased due to the promotion can be replenished.

This Magic Potion can satisfy advancement up to a Sixth Level Wizard.

So theoretically speaking, if Viola’s understanding of the “Pain” rule is profound enough, it is indeed possible, with the power of this Magic Potion, to complete the astounding leap from Third to Sixth Level in one go!

However, Jeming is skeptical of Viola having already comprehended the “Pain” Rule fully.

Knowing that the understanding of rules becomes more challenging as one progresses, even a genius needs a long time for accumulation and enlightenment.

Viola honestly admitted: “Although I am indeed somewhat abnormal, with an understanding of ’Pain’ far exceeding ordinary people, reaching the end of the rules is not that easy.”

She admitted frankly that there is a small part of the core Rules within the Law of Pain that she has not fully comprehended and mastered.

“However…” Viola’s tone shifted, her eyes shimmering with confidence, “This small difference is nothing to worry about.”

Her gaze turned again to the light curtain, where the Living Ice and Flame Plane was roaring in agony.

“The reason lies in it!”

“Such a special and powerful creature, when it experiences pain, it can, in turn, provide me with enormous benefits!”

“Whenever it is pained by my rules, its immense Soul and rules feedback to me a new understanding of the essence of ’Pain’, deepening my understanding of the ’Pain’ Rule!”

“The stronger my rule, the more pain it feels! The greater its pain, the stronger my rule becomes!”

“This is a perfect cycle!”

In other words, the reason Viola dared to have the idea of advancing directly to a Sixth Level Wizard is completely because she encountered this immense opportunity that is rare and hard to find.

The Living Plane before her eyes is both her adversary and her best “supplement” on the path to the end of the rules!
