Breakthrough

  Du Fan furrowed his brow and said, "Don't you know how many years the Sacred Tribunal has been imprisoned? How do you know so much?"

  Chen Chen smiled complacently and raised her face, saying: "What's the big deal? These days, apart from helping you configure medicine, the most I've done is chat with a few servants. Of course, I know many things about this era. Otherwise, do you think I'm doing nothing all day?"

  Du Fan sighed and didn't know how to respond.

  Due to the relationship between Chenchen's transformation technique, it was agreed upon during cultivation that Chenchen could transform into Du Fan's appearance and go out for a stroll every day when there was nothing else to do, of course, on the premise that she wouldn't reveal any flaws.

  It's a good thing that Chen goes out every day, otherwise the people in the Duke's mansion would have discovered that their third young master had not appeared for three months and who knows if they would have come to demolish his underground room.

  "Never mind," Du Fan slightly shook his head, "Let's talk about this after I break through to the third level. If I don't even have the ability to protect myself when going out, that would be too pathetic."

  "Isn't it me who's protecting you?"

  Du Fan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: "Big sister, if you dare to appear in front of outsiders and are unfortunately discovered by the people of the Holy See, won't that put me in danger of being hunted down by the Sacred Holy See? Although the ability of the Spirit Word you gave me is powerful, it can only be effective against ordinary spiritual power holders. If it's someone with extremely high spiritual power, the effect will be very limited. The fact that Emily was still able to maintain some consciousness under the influence of the Spirit Word that day proves this point."

  After a period of arduous cultivation, Du Fan also understood that the kind of spiritual magic's verbal charm had no effect on high-level magicians, except for bullying a few unguarded warriors or teasing third-grade magicians.

  At first, Du Fan thought this skill was quite against the heavens, but now he realized that strength is everything. Relying on tricks and cleverness can't be done too much.

  After thinking for a while, Du Fan made another gesture, waiting for Chen to leave before he sat down cross-legged again and drank all the medicine in his hand.

  A strong gust of magical elemental fluctuations suddenly began to flow from the abdominal position throughout the body, this time's intense feeling was much stronger than any previous time when taking medicine.

  Du Fan's heart was filled with joy, knowing that with this opportunity, he might be able to break through the third level.

  As soon as he thought of this, he calmed down instantly, his tightly closed eyes slightly converged, and at the same time, the wind system magic elements in the magic circle seemed to go crazy and squeezed towards Du Fan's side, the internal and external magic elements merged together, suddenly gathering together.

  Dufan, who was in the center of the green light, appeared and disappeared, as if all the pores on his body were absorbing those magical elements together.

  At this moment, Du Fan's whole body was throbbing with pain, his head felt like it was about to crack open, but in his heart, he knew that this was a sign of an impending breakthrough to the third level. As long as he could hold on for just one more moment, he would succeed.

  Finally, all the wind system magic elements surged into Du Fan's body. He suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him, a green light seemed to flash by. Then he hummed softly, and the stinging sensation all over his body instantly disappeared, replaced by an indescribable feeling of comfort. The original aura and spiritual space magic power stored in ** seemed to have increased significantly.

  Du Fan put down his hands, took a light breath, and looked at the magic array that had lost its magic due to the loss of the magic stone. He couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Finally broke through... Third-level warrior plus third-level magician... Even if I still can't walk sideways in the Imperial City, from today on, those who are jealous of my handsome and elegant appearance will probably no longer dare to call me a useless priest behind my back."

  Slowly standing up, Du Fan lightly chanted a spell, and in an instant, a semi-transparent triangular magic shield suddenly appeared beside him, spinning around his entire body.

  This is a level 3 wind magic - Wind Shield, which uses highly condensed wind magic elements combined together to form a shield. It's said that it can block most magical and physical attacks. Of course, the size and solidity of this magic shield are directly proportional to the caster's magic power and mental strength. The higher the level of the person, the better the effect when used.

  This magic was learned from the book given by Archbishop Anthony, after breaking through one level, Du Fan once wanted to ask Chenchen for a few magic spells and learn some tricks to play with. However, she said something that made Du Fan feel depressed for a long time. She said: My lady's magic spell, even if you break through the holy stage, not only can't you learn it, but you can't even take a look at it.

  Helpless, Du Fan could only learn the things on the book volume given by Anthony the Great, fortunately this thing is not bad, not only has some low-level magic spells, but also has some methods for using light and dark energy, which is quite unexpected for Du Fan.

  Considering that he hadn't gone to other places to find secret recipes for cultivation, and fearing that outsiders would be suspicious, Du Fan tried cultivating the Bright Light Fist. Unexpectedly, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

  Actually, Du Fan didn't know that the so-called Holy Light Qi doesn't have high requirements for people's magical element affinity. After all, the Sacred Church emphasizes equality in front of the Holy God, and this is said to be the Holy God's passed-down Qi, which naturally won't reject anyone with a certain elemental affinity. Even if you're someone with an affinity for dark magic elements, as long as you wholeheartedly believe in God and are extremely devout, the Holy Light Qi cultivated from this will also be sacred and pure.

  In addition, Du Fan himself had already cultivated the "Ten Thousand Laws", and since this "Ten Thousand Laws" was known as the source of all laws on the Roland continent, it would not conflict with other cultivation methods, so he was able to cultivate the Bright Fighting Qi.

  Otherwise, if it were someone else practicing different techniques at the same time, even if they didn't conflict with each other, the speed of their practice would probably become extremely slow.

  After watching the wind shield spin in front of him for half a day, Du Fan nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't retrieve the wind shield. Instead, he recited a few incantations and casually flung out a Wind Blade.

  This wind blade is also an ordinary magic, but it is also one of the essential magics for wind system mages in the early stage. The wind blade was cut out and made a few brushing sounds on the ground, leaving several cracks behind.

  Du Fan furrowed his brow and sent out a few more wind blades. This time, when they were halfway through, they suddenly turned a corner and slashed towards Du Fan's direction.

  At this time, that whirlwind seemed to have automatically sensed the danger and suddenly swirled around Du Fan.

  "Boom——Boom——Boom——"

  Only a few faint sounds were heard, and the wind blade and wind shield collided with each other, and the waves of frantic airflow almost suffocated people.

  After the air calmed down, Du Fan finally spat out his tongue and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that after breaking through to level three, the power of the same magic would increase so much. I wonder how strong Dou Qi's power is?"

  Thinking of this, Du Fan suddenly raised his finger and slashed forward with a loud "Huang" sound. A faint green aura shot out and exploded on the ground, creating a deep crater.

  Du Fan walked over and took a few glances, then compared it with the mark left by Feng Ya, before muttering to himself: "Magic is powerful, Dou Qi can save time on incantations, looks like both have their own advantages... I'll just use them according to the situation."

  Finally, Du Fan nodded in satisfaction, he jumped into the nearby pool to take a bath, changed his clothes, and walked towards the door with a smile.

  Du Fan went down to the third floor of the underground room through a secret passage, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue. The place was now piled high with all sorts of discarded materials from alchemy, filling up what was originally a very large space. Because these things needed to be done in secret, Chen Chen had never thrown them away either.

  Saw Du Fan walking in, and that sly smile on his face had already turned into a little cat, Chen Chen suddenly jumped onto his shoulder and said in his mind: "How about Du Fan... looking at your appearance, have you already broken through to the third level?"

  "What do you think?" Du Fan smiled, "My cultivation speed may not be unprecedented, but it can be said to be unmatched in the future."

  Chen Chen hummed and heavily struck Du Fan: "If it weren't for the fact that you were cultivating 'Wan Fa' just in time, plus with the help of a magic array, and also my great alchemy skills helping to speed up your cultivation by concocting medicine, do you think you could have progressed this quickly? By the way, let me tell you something, in order to help you concoct medicine, not only did I spend all of the several tens of thousands of gold coins you had, but also just the things I asked your Master Ma Ke to buy alone exceeded several hundred thousand gold coins in price. You'd better think of an excuse quickly, or else I'll see how you explain yourself when you go out!"

  "What!" Du Fan exclaimed, rushing to the edge of the table and rummaging through the spatial ring. He let out a sorrowful cry without any hint of elegance, "Heavens! Not only are the tens of thousands of gold coins I earned later gone, but also all the other valuable items... even my years' worth of private savings are all gone..."

  Chen Chen looked at him with disdain and muttered, "You want to cultivate quickly without spending money. Is there such a good thing in the world? If it weren't for me helping you refine medicine all along, these things would cost at least ten times more if bought outside."

  However, seeing Du Fan's "painful" expression, she couldn't help but comfort him: "Alright, don't you still have some magic stones left? Now go sell them, and the money will come back, right?"
