Before going to find Lockhart's great enemy, Ted still has one very important thing to do.
That's an upgrade!
"Hermione, please wait for me for a moment. I'll go to the dormitory to get something. I'll be right back."
Hermione nodded, and Ted quickly walked out of the main tower...
Ted has accumulated a lot of experience and can level up long ago.
But he has never upgraded. Although he often uses the excuse of "Let's take a look, the knowledge about other worlds that I will learn next month will be great" to convince himself, but he knows that it is not actually the case.
The reason why he did not choose to upgrade his career or increase the level of magic spells when he had experience, but kept saving them, was because he was afraid.
Yes, fear.
Although experience is rare, it is easier to come by than studying and learning magic day after day.
The power gained so easily makes people feel too frivolous.
He started to worry after he directly upgraded his Psion level to Level 4 during the summer vacation last year and suddenly became unable to control the surge in psychic energy.
Worrying about whether I can really control this easily obtained power.
As a psion, it is normal for him to have such thoughts.
Eastern philosophy always pays attention to the state of mind, believing that the state of mind must be able to control power, otherwise it will eventually lose control.
Ted has always been worried about this. He is worried that this feeling of increased power with a single thought will make him addicted and make him unable to distinguish true strength from weakness.
That feeling of being invincible, maybe I will take it seriously...
So for the past year, he has been deliberately ignoring upgrades, honing his magic bit by bit, enhancing his control over magic, transforming spells in Azeroth and the DND world, and studying alchemy.
He deliberately slowed himself down.
But now, strength is needed.
He was about to face the half-resurrected youth version of Voldemort and the Basilisk, so he couldn't be careless.
This is not like last year, when Dumbledore wrote the script and had the details.
This year’s event is for real and we must go all out.
In fact, during the holiday, Ted struggled for several days whether to intervene in this battle.
If you want to use tricks, there are actually many ways to deal with the diary and the basilisk.
The easiest way is to find a way to reveal it to Professor McGonagall.
Even if Dumbledore has doubts about himself, Professor McGonagall definitely trusts him.
But after thinking about it again and again, Ted asked himself—can he keep escaping?
The answer is - no!
Voldemort will inevitably be resurrected. He has so many Horcruxes. As long as he is not resurrected, no one can kill them all. It will eventually be resurrected one day, and there will definitely be a final battle.
Moreover, the bugbears he met at the end of his vacation caused a scene in Diagon Alley, which also reminded him that the world has changed!
These changes may not be any safer than Voldemort's.
When fighting is unavoidable, running away is not an option.
In the end, Ted convinced himself that he had to fight and win with all his strength!
Because this is just the beginning...just treat it as a trial!
Now, strength is needed.
Ted focused in his mind, and there were 34854 experience points in the experience pool.
Thanks to that group of eight-eyed spiders, it feels like there are still dozens of them. Why don’t you find a chance to get some more?
Upgrading the wizard profession to level 5 requires 15,000 experience points, and upgrading to level 6 requires 21,000 experience points. After the reduction of the talent [God of Learning (Purple)], it is 32,400 experience points.
Finding an empty bathroom, Ted hid in a stall.
"Upgrade the wizard profession!"
"Upgrade the wizard profession!"
The experience in the experience pool was consumed like water, and Ted's wizard profession was upgraded two levels in a row, reaching level 6.
Gained 2 attribute points and 2 skill points.
+1 agility is used to make up for shortcomings. Now agility is 5 points, which is equivalent to the nerve reflex speed of an adult male, so it will not be delayed.
+1 spirit, continue to enhance the advantage, the spirit reaches 15 points, three times that of ordinary people, and about twice that of normal wizards.
The strengthening of spiritual attributes can strengthen the control of magic and enhance the power of spells.
+1 level of magic power, Ted's magic power surged again, and even sprayed out from his body, blowing up the entire compartment in an instant.
His whole body floated into the air, and the blue light kept flashing, and it gradually subsided after more than ten seconds passed.
The naked level 6 magic power, including the blessing of the wand and pseudo-philosopher's stone, has reached level 9!
In other words, in terms of magic power, he has reached the same level as Snape.
Snape's magic power is also the highest among the deans. In the school, or in the whole of Great Britain, no one else except Dumbledore is as good as him.
This may not only be due to his innate noble bloodline, but also because he used black magic and potions to strengthen him when he was young. Only then did he reach the peak of his magic power before he was forty years old.
Now, Ted is not even in the third grade, but with the support of the system and equipment, he has achieved it.
Ted could feel that the wand's blessing had reached its end.
As your magic power continues to upgrade, the blessing of the wand will disappear. Its level can no longer enhance Ted.
The Pseudo Philosopher's Stone can continue to strengthen for a while...
What Ted didn't expect was that the magic level of the naked suit reached level 6, which actually increased the magic resistance by one level!
Now it’s magic resistance level 3!
He tried it last year. If Jerry, who was level 2 in magic, level 2 in spells, and level 2 in magic, hit himself with a barrier spell, he would be able to absorb the magic immunity effect.
Although it does not succeed every time, the probability of being able to resist seven or eight times out of ten is already very high.
However, if Hermione, who is stronger and has a higher magic level, comes, she will be completely unable to stop it, and at most the effect will be reduced.
Now that Ted's magic resistance is level 3, can he block level 3 magic?
I will study this later...
In addition to his skills, Ted upgraded his magic spells, and equipped them with level 5 spells. Counting the magic wand, it was level 6.
Although they are not comparable to masters like Professor Flitwick, even among those elite Aurors, not many can reach level 6 spells.
In the past, because the magic level was only level 4, the use of magic was limited. Basically, the level of each magic was not higher than level 4 (the magic wand blessed +1, only the magic effect was counted). Now progress can be made quickly again.
But what I didn't expect was that the level 5 spell also had additional benefits.
Ted has an extra skill, magic penetration level 1!
This attribute corresponds to magic resistance, which means that your magic can ignore level 1 magic resistance.
That is to say, if the magic resistance is level 5 and your own magic is level 5, there is a high probability that the opponent will resist it.
But now that he has magic penetration level 1, the opponent is equivalent to magic resistance level 4 in front of him, and he is completely unable to resist!
This attribute is so important!
After all, many magical creatures in the magic world have ridiculously high magic resistance...
Ted looked at his experience pool and magic, and consumed the last 2,400 points of experience. Upgraded Eye Disease Curse and Divine Edge Shadowless to level 5.
The Eye Spell is pretty good, if Ted has enough time he can practice it by himself.
But Shen Feng Wu Ying is a high-level magic and is really difficult to upgrade.
Now Ted has cast Divine Edge Shadowless four or five times at the target with all his strength, and his proficiency level has only increased by 1 point. It is conservatively estimated that it will take 3,000 casts to level up!
This is not about playing games. Just put your hand on a button and press it continuously, and release the Shenfeng Wuying with all your strength. After ten or twenty times, Ted felt that his energy was exhausted and his temples ached.
It is indeed an advanced black magic, this thing is too heavy a burden!
These two magics will be used as the main output methods in the next battle. The level was too low, and Ted worried that it would not have enough effect on the basilisk.
Now you have to use experience points to improve it.
Fortunately, the talent [Xueba (Purple)] also has the effect of -20% of the experience points required for magic upgrades. Otherwise it's not enough.
Very good, all the experience I have saved for more than half a year has been spent. The wind blows the eggshells, and the wealth disappears and people are happy.
Ted waved his hand and cast a wandless and silent repair spell. The scattered masonry fragments flew up automatically and returned to their original positions, repairing the damage to the bathroom stall. The scene is a bit spectacular~
He straightened his clothes, walked out quietly, and found Hermione.
"Ted, are you back?"
"Well, let's go find Lockhart."
