【Gravity Charm】 is a type of magic that can directly manipulate gravity. → Google search to read

After carefully reviewing the relevant information, Anduin discovered that it has an extremely complex rune structure, making it incredibly difficult to learn.

Anduin, who is also proficient in Charms, carefully studied the rune composition of 【Gravity Charm】 and discovered that its underlying rune is actually 【Control】, meaning that this gravity magic is an advanced variant of the 'Control' school.

To learn this magic, one must possess at least 'Instinctive' level proficiency in 'Control' magic, making the entry threshold ridiculously high.

Of course, this difficulty is nothing to Anduin. After only studying it for a dozen minutes, he was already able to easily control the surrounding gravity, allowing himself to float in mid-air with ease.

"Gravity Charm feels a bit like an evolved version of the 'Levitation Charm.' It suits me very well, except its effect isn't just simply upwards, and its magic power conversion efficiency is also very high. After further in-depth research, I can inscribe it into my 'Flying Cloak,' and my speed will probably increase by another level."

Anduin is very satisfied with this 【Gravity Charm】. With his proficiency in 'Control' magic, he can make it one of his standard spells with just a little practice.

After studying the Gravity Charm, Anduin took out a delicately crafted thread-bound book from Runespoor's private collection.

This book, whether in terms of paper or binding method, is very different from the other Western-style books in the library, giving Anduin a sense of an ancient Chinese book. Moreover, the text on it is actually Traditional Chinese characters, which he is very familiar with!

"The Essence of Qingyuan Mysticism? Could this be a Chinese magic book?" Anduin carefully stroked the cover of the ancient book. Runespoor specifically used a beautifully decorated small box to preserve it, which shows how much he valued this book.

When Anduin gently opened the ancient book, there was also a yellowed piece of parchment tucked under the cover, indicating that it was very old.

Anduin picked up the parchment and saw that it was a diary written in ancient runes, detailing Runespoor's experience of obtaining this book.

"Today, the club encountered a powerful challenger. The opponent called himself 'Chen,' an Eastern wizard traveling in Europe. We became very interested in him."

"Beaumont volunteered to challenge him to a duel, and then he lost miserably. Some other members and I couldn't stand it, seeing a foreigner beat us to a pulp in Europe, it's simply outrageous."

"But after a series of subsequent challenges, we were all impressed by 'Chen's' power. The magic he used was simply unheard of. Even fighting us all at the same time, he was still able to hold his own. 'Chen' actually conjured several identical clones of himself, and they even had the ability to cast spells!"

"I couldn't bear this humiliating defeat and suggested to Beaumont that we use the 'Avada Kedavra' curse to ambush 'Chen,' but Beaumont opposed my 'shameless' act, saying that there was no rule that the Silver Spears must be the victors in a duel."

"I felt very ashamed of this. Perhaps the long-term victory made me have such dark thoughts. Therefore, I took the initiative to apologize to 'Chen,' but he was very kind, at least outside of the duel."

"It was because of this encounter that we formed a friendship with 'Chen.' He told us that in his hometown, they practice secret education, focusing on apprenticeship. His 'Qingyuan Mysticism Academy' is almost in a space called a 'Mystic Realm,' isolated from the world, which is why we find the magic he uses so unfamiliar."

"And 'Chen' is very opposed to this overly closed-off method of inheritance. In order to change the status quo, he left his… sect, that's what he calls his magic school."

"After leaving the East, he began years of travel, and actively learned unique magic from other wizards, eventually integrating them all. →"

"'Chen' said that his ideal is to return to the East after years of travel and open a magic school without sectarian views. Of course, in the East, they call magic 'Mysticism.'"

"Everyone, including me, was moved by 'Chen's' grand ideal. Therefore, after discussion, we decided to open the club's collection to 'Chen' and teach him the mysteries contained in Western magic."

"Faced with our generosity, 'Chen' was also very touched, so he left this 'Essence of Qingyuan Mysticism' as a return gift. During that time, we exchanged magic insights with 'Chen,' and everyone gained a lot. This was the happiest time I had in the club."

"It is also because of this reason that I highly admire and am fascinated by the magic left by 'Chen,' but because his mystical magic is too profound, most people in the club even find it difficult to understand. In order to learn them, I even spent a lot of time learning 'Chinese.'"

"I know that compared to the others in the club, my talent is quite limited. If it weren't for the family magic of Gravity Charm, I wouldn't even be able to join the Silver Spears."

"But because of this clear understanding, I am willing to spend more time learning. After learning one of the magic spells in the Essence of Mysticism, I also have a different view on the 'Snakeskin Potion.' If I have 'it,' can I minimize the side effects of the Elixir of Life? — Goodwin Nicklaus."

After reading this diary-like note, Anduin finally had a clear understanding of the source of these strange magic spells in Runespoor's hands. It turned out that these magic spells were all imported goods and not originally from here.

Perhaps, apart from Gravity Charm, Runespoor's other magic spells all came from this Essence of Qingyuan Mysticism. Thinking of this, Anduin became even more interested in the contents of this 'Essence of Mysticism.'

Silently nodding, Anduin couldn't wait to look at the contents of this ancient book. Both the pictures and text on it are in Chinese characters, but Anduin, who was a Chinese person in his previous life, found it easier to read than English.

Among them, some pages also contain Runespoor's memo papers, which are full of his notes and annotations, obviously, the other party has also put a lot of effort into studying the contents of this.

Sure enough, in this Essence of Qingyuan Mysticism, Anduin saw many spells that he had seen in Runespoor or the club before.

For example, the 'Tunneling Charm' that Anduin used to drill through walls before came from this magic book, but this magic is called 【Earth Movement Technique】 in the 'Essence,' and its function is to allow the caster to freely travel through solids such as soil and rock.

At the same time, the 'Essence' also records a 【Water Movement Technique】, which allows the caster to move freely in the water without being affected by resistance.

Moreover, Anduin also discovered that the Mysticism in the Essence does not have special requirements for spells and casting actions, which is very different from the European magic world.

Even Anduin, a wizard with strong magic sensitivity, must complete the spellcasting according to the standard spells and gestures when he first learns magic if he wants to use magic.

Learning these Mysticism spells, in addition to consuming magic power, requires a strong physique and a calm mind. For beginners, a certain hand seal will be used to assist in the spellcasting.

"Is this aspect called 'Harmony between Heaven and Man'? Strengthening the body and calming the mind, isn't this the method I have explored to train 'magic sensitivity'?"

Anduin at this time actually saw himself before contacting magic from the Essence of Mysticism. The training method he developed over the years seems to be very in line with the core of practice in the Essence of Mysticism.

"So, cultivating Eastern magic requires a certain intensity of 'magic sensitivity' from the beginning? It seems that because they don't have wands as an auxiliary spellcasting tool, they are working towards wandless spellcasting from the beginning, no wonder they are so powerful."

From the few written records, Anduin could imagine the development and spellcasting habits of the wizards, or rather, mystics, in his distant hometown, and at the same time, he became more interested in the spells contained in the 'Essence'.

Continuing to turn the page and seeing another Mysticism spell, Anduin's eyes lit up again.

【Body Strengthening Technique】, an auxiliary Mysticism practice method, has two practice stages. The first stage is to steadily improve one's magic storage and magic sensitivity through methods such as physical exercise and breathing exercises.

The content recorded above is almost the same as Anduin's training method, but what surprised him more was the second stage of 【Body Strengthening Technique】 practice.

After the magic storage and magic sensitivity rise to a certain level, the control and perception of magic will be strengthened, and then the wizard's body can be tempered and strengthened by guiding magic through the methods recorded in the 'Essence', thereby comprehensively improving the body's strength.

After a long period of practice, the practitioner's strength, speed, endurance, resistance to blows, and flexibility will be greatly enhanced. In the end, they may even gain some incredible abilities, such as bone shrinking, steel body, a certain degree of stretching and softening of the body, and so on.

Seeing this, Anduin immediately recalled the many magical abilities that Runespoor had shown, such as the way the other party could instantly twist and change direction like a snake while moving.

At the same time, Runespoor's body was even harder than steel, and even the fully powered Godslayer Slash could not break it at all.

Also, when he was at the Silver Spears headquarters, the Fire Salamander had once rescued the Nundu from him at an extremely fast speed, and he had been controlled by Runespoor for the 'Snakeskin Period' from a very early age and was taken as a loyal dog, so it would not be surprising to teach him this Body Strengthening Technique. It is estimated that the Fire Salamander's speed was also strengthened by the Body Strengthening Technique.
