Chapter 411: Talent

Unfortunately, at this point Li Mochen had to stop, keeping his magical profession at level twelve, which was the late stage of the Dragon-Tiger realm.

When Li Mochen opened his eyes, they were frighteningly bright, like two shining stars. This was a sign that his progress was too fast, and he could not yet restrain his mental energy.

But in the next instant, a layer of silver-white aura covered his entire body. At the same time, a red light appeared on his brow, and a cyan wind enveloped him.

Then, after a moment, a satisfied expression appeared on Li Mochen's face.

His magical source, in both intensity and quantity, could now be compared to that of a level seventeen or even level eighteen magic professional. His physique had yet to be tested, but it would not be far off.

Although he had not specifically strengthened the power of 'wind' in his cultivation method, unexpectedly, after his magic profession entered level twelve, the divine authority 'Battle Wind' he had obtained also grew to a certain extent.

However, the primary issue he wanted to resolve in this seclusion was his own mana capacity. For divine powers like 'Battle Wind', he could only use and maintain them with his own strength; external aids like the outer elixir were of little use.

Now, Li Mochen had perfectly achieved his goal.

Even with his source armor fully activated, his mana could now sustain 'Battle Wind' for three minutes.

After completing the initial self-check, Li Mochen turned his attention to the side, to the Crimson Dragon, whose body had grown significantly larger, now the size of a full-grown horse.

This little creature had fallen into a state of slumber. When Li Mochen's profession level reached level twelve, the dragon's bloodline finally reached its limit and could no longer bear the load. So Li Mochen stopped at the right moment, actively making it lose consciousness.

Based on his examination, the dragon's condition was also very ideal. Its level had crossed the threshold of level eleven.

Because it had been guided by Li Mochen to refine its magical source from an early age, the Crimson Dragon, unlike other beasts that had five more levels than humans, had its source power and mana already at the Outlaw level.

However, this little creature would likely need to sleep for a long time to recover its spirit and master its suddenly increased strength. Li Mochen estimated at least a month, so the Crimson Dragon would certainly miss the upcoming battle in the Antolia Continent.

...

In the Death Home magic tower, Li Mochen was testing his newly acquired talents. The ice beneath his feet was spreading outward, as if freezing even time and space; above, flames were nearly melting the void walls of the demiplane.

At this moment, Li Mochen's body was covered in a suit of ice armor, and in his hand, he held a spear of flame.

These were the simple powers of 'ice' and 'fire'. The Titan bloodline could be traced back to the mother of the gods, 'Gaia'; while the dragon bloodline traced back to the Primordial Dragon God. Li Mochen did not know if that was the Yinglong or Huanglong of Daoist mythology, but the image was very similar—a golden dragon with a pair of huge wings.

As a 'demigod descendant', Li Mochen obtained from these two bloodlines the power of what the West called 'Source' and 'Gate of Truth', and what Daoism called 'Root of Heaven and Earth' and 'Mysterious Female Gate'.

If one day Li Mochen could advance to demigod, these bloodline talents could directly evolve into his divine domain and divine authority. But at the current stage, they only forcibly elevated his Ice Domain and Fire Domain by one level, allowing him to cast 'Ice Dragon Armor' and 'Solar Spear', two spells derived from his talents.

If one had to assign them a rank, they would only be level twelve, but their power was comparable to Legendary, because they contained divine power.

Li Mochen felt that casting them was very easy; the mana consumption was only about half that of a level twelve spell, and it came as naturally as if it were an innate ability, almost instant.

Next, Li Mochen summoned a series of cyan wind blades, which gathered around him.

This was the third power he obtained—'wind'—and its source surprised Li Mochen: it came from both his paternal and maternal bloodlines, and was formed in recent times.

He thought the information White Thomas had obtained was incorrect. Li Chunchu had not only thought of fusing the 'War Angel Heart' after Jennifer's incident.

Rather, he had already been seizing the power of the 'War Angel Heart' before that. Jennifer's incident might have only made Li Chunchu's methods more radical.

Thus, at that time, Li Chunchu and Elena Wiltonstein, both level fifteen magic professionals, must have been exceptionally powerful.

Unfortunately, although these 'wind blades' had extraordinary cutting power and speed, their overall power was far inferior to the 'Solar Spear'. This was because their source was not a true god.

"Very powerful demigod spells!"

The flames Li Mochen was controlling suddenly condensed into a human form, its features hard to discern, but the voice that came out was Anthony's.

"I feel you've changed a lot today. Outlaw level, right?"

"Level twelve."

Li Mochen said indifferently, knowing there was no need to hide it. "But I feel you've changed the most. Is Light Demon No. 8 complete?"

While improving that magic array, he could still complete Light Demon No. 8. This guy's ability in magic arrays and crafting was enough to make one jealous.

"Well, I've only completed the 'auxiliary intelligence' part. I need its computational power. Light Demon No. 8's spell abilities are integrated with the auxiliary intelligence."

Anthony Braden explained casually. "This is nothing compared to you jumping five levels in one night. That's truly astonishing, and you're not a reincarnator. Even a god's reincarnation couldn't break the fetal mystery that fast. And if it were possession or soul-eating, your spirit and body wouldn't be so coordinated."

Li Mochen thought that was right. No cultivator in this world would be crazy enough to directly merge another person's soul like he did. That would not only require starting over in mental cultivation but also face the problem of mental division and leave permanent hidden dangers in the spirit.

At the time, he had no choice, but if he hadn't relied on the secret technique 'Heavenly Mind Illumination' to unify his divided spirit in times of crisis, he wouldn't have dared to do it.

"Isn't that worth your surprise?"

Li Mochen smiled disdainfully. "If you were willing, Anthony, you could jump directly from level sixteen to Legendary, which would be even closer to the miracles of the mythical age."

He had long noticed that this guy was hiding his true abilities; he was accumulating power within his body.

Anthony Braden's cultivation talent might indeed be ordinary, but his magical knowledge had long been able to change and reverse that.

Even if not, the Braden family's immense wealth was enough to compensate for this deficiency.
