Chapter 186: Secret of Sorcery (3)
“I don’t think he fainted from shock. He probably suffered from an energy overdraft.”
Zhou Jing’s face twitched as he spoke.
Initially, he had a lot of questions to ask this mysterious person who seemed to have a different power system. Seeing this, he could only swallow them down for the time being.
“Let’s take a look at this person’s attributes.”
Zhou Jing had no choice but to open the interface and activate his detection.
[Attributes: Physical Fitness 7, Resistance 9, Perception 10, Spirit 18, Energy 20]
“Dammit, his mental strength is several times higher than mine, to think he even fainted just like that. He’s probably just faking it.”
Zhou Jing cursed inwardly.
With such a distribution of attributes and the combat performance just now, this was clearly a power system different from that of the Mutant Blood Warriors. It was like a mage system.
“This might be a hidden superpower system. I didn’t expect it to really exist!”
Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up.
Coincidentally, he came to Deep Rock City and got involved in this storm, and actually discovered the new superpower system that he had been searching for… And then, he even encountered it. His luck was good!
Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that this person was a lifeform from an alternate dimension.
However, when he thought of the scene of this person being chased by a First Enhancement Mutant Blood Warrior and escaping in a sorry state, Zhou Jing found it difficult to think in that direction.
… Alien lifeforms wouldn’t be so lousy… right?
“I can only wait for him to wake up before interrogating him and getting him to reveal himself. I can’t just slash him now and see if I can trigger the hint of killing someone from an alternate dimension…”
Zhou Jing shook his head and started to touch this person very inappropriately.
Although he was not dead yet, it was a good opportunity to search his body. Searching people was a must-have skill when out in the field.
A few seconds later, he paused as he felt a thin foreign object on this person’s chest.
He reached into his pocket and took out the item. It was a book, however, it was severely damaged and half of it had been torn off.
Zhou Jing flipped it open and was shocked.
“Records of Sorcery?”
There was a power system for magic in this world, but the entire world had never known about it?
He roughly read through it and realized that the “sorcery” recorded in this book seemed to have many differences from the main world’s spell system in his impression.
This book did not record spells, but how to obtain the power of Sorcery and train in it. Strictly speaking, this seemed to be something like an introductory guidebook.
The way to obtain the power of Sorcery was not through cultivation or meditation, but by fusing with something called the “spirit of nature”. Only then could one give oneself the power of Sorcery and utilize their mental strength.
The nature spirit that each individual fused with would be different. It determined the elemental attributes of one’s own Sorcery power. There was no need for incantations or spell circuits. One only needed to use the mental strength they released to soak in the elemental energies, completing a series of changes to the target substance such as shaping, shaping energy, and so on to achieve the effect of similar spells. In books, this kind of behavior was called “consonance”. It was the most fundamental ability of a sorcerer.
“This kind of sorcery feels different from the various branches of magic in the main world. It’s more like a primitive version… Speaking of which, who discovered this system? This book doesn’t have the name of the author as well, I wonder if it was written by this fainted fellow. But it doesn’t feel like it… Furthermore, there’s still a small portion missing at the back. I wonder what it’s about.”
Zhou Jing frowned slightly as his thoughts raced.
“Speaking of which, did this system exist in the Mutant World itself, or was it brought in by the lifeforms from an alternate dimension? If it was the former, why was it that in the history of the Terra Empire, there were only supernatural existences of Mutant Blood Warriors, but there was no mention of sorcery at all?”
According to the common knowledge of the natives of the Mutant World, there was only one supernatural route, that was through the enhancement of Mutant blood.
“Could it be that these Sorcerers were all hidden in the world and had never revealed their existence? Or was there something else behind the scenes?”
Roman’s figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Jing’s mind.
“Could it be that my big bro… Pfft, Bill’s big brother, was actually a sorcerer?”
At this moment, he suddenly realized that a message was flashing on the interface.
[You have triggered the achievement [Secret of Sorcery]!]
[You have received 2,000 Astral Points, 1x Aptitude Enhancement – Magic (Small), 1x Aptitude Enhancement – Natural Affinity (Small) ]
“Just by coming into contact with sorcery, I can trigger an achievement… In this world, the power of sorcery should be largely unknown to outsiders. The so-called sorcerers should be extremely rare.”
Zhou Jing pondered for a while before putting the tattered book away.
Finders keepers!
“Now is not the time to study it. I’ll think about it after dealing with the enemy. Anyway, this person will wake up sooner or later. At that time, I can ask for his personal experience.”
He definitely could not let go of this book. Perhaps he could let an Astral Apostle obtain the second superpower route in this world.
And this insider could not be left here as well.
Zhou Jing picked up Lynen and decided to go back to find his teammates. He would temporarily settle this unconscious guy down, lest this person died and his clues were cut off.
