Chapter 9

In front of Jiang Heng, the magical diagram floating in mid-air began to change.

The original diagram, which he had created, twisted strangely, and many more patterns were added, while some of his own patterns began to change. "So this is how it is, this structure is indeed more suitable."

Jiang Heng's boundless knowledge began to take effect. Things that others might find hard to remember, Jiang Heng not only remembered but could also analyze their functions. The next time he constructed a diagram, it would definitely be much easier.

Jiang Heng also understood that this structural change was the effect of the world crystal coin he had added.

He didn't know what the essence of the world crystal coin was, but it could directly improve the diagram he had already completed.

With such improvements, the power of this skill should increase significantly.

In the end, the completed diagram began to compress, turning into a very small symbol-like thing. Upon closer inspection, this symbol seemed to be the image of two abstract wolf heads overlapping.

This image directly merged into Jiang Heng's forehead. Jiang Heng closed his eyes and could feel the symbol appearing in his magic sea, slowly rotating around the center and floating up and down.

When Jiang Heng opened his eyes, he suddenly heard applause from the side.

"Amazing, truly amazing, I never thought I would witness the birth of a new spell."

"I've heard that constructing spells is the most difficult for arcanists. It often takes several years or even longer to construct one. It's a great honor to see it today."

"Jerry, quickly test it out and see how powerful this skill is."

A group of people gathered around Jiang Heng, flattering him. An arcanist who could construct a skill and one who couldn't were two completely different concepts.

Moreover, this skill had been completed right before their eyes.

Even if they had conducted similar research before, seeing Jiang Heng, who was so young, successfully construct his own skill was still impressive.

For arcanists, it wasn't about how strong their power was; their spell diagrams were their most valuable assets.

Jiang Heng nodded; he himself was also curious about the power of this skill. So, Jiang Heng gathered the magic in his hand, and in an instant, one-third of his magic was consumed.

Jiang Heng was greatly startled. After successfully constructing his first skill, he had instantly advanced to the 5-star level of the 1st rank. Without killing any prey, he had directly advanced five star levels.

This made Jiang Heng realize that hunting was not the only way to increase their power.

Perhaps for him, constructing skills was the fastest way to improve.

With the increase in rank, his magic had also increased significantly, but he didn't expect that a single skill would still consume one-third of his magic. If it were his previous self, he wouldn't have had enough magic.

The magic in his hand split into two, forming two masses, which then fell to the ground.

Then the two masses of magic quickly condensed and formed, ultimately turning into two grayish-white wild wolves. Of course, they only looked like wild wolves on the surface; in reality, they were much larger.

"Are these wolves? They look more like small tigers." Zhang Yi opened his mouth wide, finding it hard to believe.

"This is the power of a mage. With a spell, a warrior is no match." Liu Wen also looked envious, but he hadn't found a suitable class-changing item yet.

"I'll give it a try." Locke stepped forward and launched an attack on the two large wild wolves.

When the wolves started running, Jiang Heng finally saw the difference between them and normal creatures.

These should be called magic wolves, as they were made of magic. Their eyes and tails occasionally emitted arcane light, which, though not very intense, was quite noticeable when they moved.

Just this arcane light alone showed that they were not living creatures.

These two magic wolves moved with the momentum of small tigers. However, they were still far from matching Locke.

With a casual movement of his shield, he could easily block any attack from the magic wolves. The wolves' claws hit his armor and shield without leaving a single scratch.

"Very good, fearless and fierce. This attack is almost at the limit for the 1st rank. If not facing a strong defender like an Iron Wall Knight, it would pose a certain threat even to 2nd-rank opponents. Locke, try attacking." Justin nodded as he watched.

After constructing this skill, Jiang Heng's strength in the team immediately reached a medium to high level.

The knights were very strong, but they excelled in defense, not attack.

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Locke roared and launched an attack, starting with a probing strike from a less important position and eventually using his battle aura.

However, this attack wasn't very effective against the magic wolves.

"Magic wolves, being made of magic, have no vital points. Any attack just consumes some magic. Unless they are directly dispersed, they cannot be killed until their magic is exhausted."

Justin's eyes lit up as he looked at the magic wolves: "Next, I'll leave it to you. Your magic wolves should be useful for scouting in dangerous areas."

At this moment, Locke seized the opportunity and sliced one of the magic wolves in half. With its structure disrupted, the magic wolf finally couldn't hold on, and its remaining magic quickly dissipated.

"Leave it to me." Jiang Heng, of course, didn't mind, as he didn't have to take any risks.

"By the way, how long can your magic wolves maintain their form, or how long can they last?" Liu Wen suddenly asked. "Generally, summoning-type skills either require continuous magic maintenance or have a limited duration."

Jiang Heng was taken aback and then shook his head. "I don't seem to have any restrictions. Although I can only summon two magic wolves, they can maintain their form indefinitely without consuming my magic. Wait, I just felt it; if they don't engage in combat, they can last about a month, but I can replenish their magic."

The people around him widened their eyes; this already exceeded their common knowledge.

"Truly worthy of an arcanist. Although constructing skills is very complex, the power and effects are really strong. If other mages knew about this effect, they might be ashamed to death."

Justin also shook his head: "I've seen some summoners, but no one can achieve this level. This is just a 1st-rank spell. If you can construct higher-level spells in the future, it will be even more terrifying."
