"Boom!"
One week after Ur received encouragement from Id and decided to work hard, a powerful wave of magic power erupted from Id's body.
Yes, after Id spent a week in bitter cultivation, he broke through again.
Magic Source:
First Magic Source:
Deep Meditation State: Gain 1 Magic Point every three minutes.
Dormant State: Gain 1 Magic Point every ten minutes.
Current Magic Points: 0
Magic:
Ice-Make Magic: LV3 (+)
"Improvement is so slow."
"Judging by the magic points required for the previous breakthroughs, breaking through from LV3 to LV4 will probably require ten thousand magic points, right?"
"Even if I meditate and cultivate without sleeping or resting, it would still take more than twenty days to possibly succeed in breaking through, wouldn't it?"
Id sighed. Magic was indeed profound; it was much harder than when he started learning Haki, Swordsmanship, and the Six Powers.
After all, at the same level, Haki, Swordsmanship, and the Six Powers couldn't compete with magic at all.
"Magic fluctuation?"
Ur, who was also meditating in the snow, immediately exited her meditative state after sensing the magic power erupting from Id. She looked at Id, her gaze tightening, and asked, "Id, are you alright?"
"Did you break through again?"
"Id, you guy, you actually broke through again?!"
After Ur realized that Id hadn't gone berserk but had instead broken through again, she looked at Id as if she were looking at a monster.
"Id!"
"Come and spar with me!"
Ur took a deep breath. She abandoned her meditation training and decided to engage in practical combat training with Id instead.
Yes, while she could still defeat Id now, she had to engage in more actual combat.
"Okay!"
Id immediately got excited upon hearing the words 'practical combat'. Back in the One Piece world, he was able to reach the peak in a very short time by relying on battle after battle.
"I'll count to three."
"Then we use magic together."
"Whoever gets hit first loses, alright?"
Id and Ur stood in the snow, separated by about twenty meters. Ur was patiently explaining the rules of this match to Id.
"Understood."
Id nodded slightly at Ur to indicate he knew.
"3, 2, 1!"
"Ice-Make..."
"Ice-Make..."
Accompanying Ur's countdown, Id and Ur used Ice-Make Magic almost simultaneously.
"...Rose!"
"...Lance Graveyard!"
However, due to the freedom of Molding Magic, the forms of Ur and Id's Ice-Make Magic were completely different. Ur created roses, while Id created weapons.
"Boom!"
When Ur and Id released their respective molding magic at the same time, the rose flowers composed entirely of ice, moving like a torrent, immediately collided with the dozens of long lances created by Id.
The collision of the two erupted with a burst of powerful cold air!
The ice crystals formed from the shattering of the roses and ice lances constantly struck against Ur and Id's bodies and cheeks.
"Interesting."
The corners of Ur's mouth raised slightly, and a glint of fighting spirit flashed in her eyes. Several magic circles formed in front of her. "Take this, Ice-Make: Rose Garden!"
"Boom!"
Undoubtedly, Ur was serious now. The Ice Roses she released were on a completely different level from before.
Powerful ice roses, carrying cold air, bloomed directly in front of Id. Although Id had prepared an ice shield in advance, it was unable to stop these blooming roses. The shield was easily broken, and he was sent flying. Before Id could make another move, he was frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold air wrapped around the roses.
"Oh no."
"I got too serious."
"Id, are you okay?"
After knocking Id away, Ur suddenly remembered that she wasn't facing a magic veteran, but a newcomer who had only been learning Molding Magic for a few days.
Ur constantly blamed herself internally. How could she use such powerful magic against a newcomer?
"Boom!"
Just as Ur was thinking this, a burst of black lightning suddenly erupted from Id's eyes, instantly shattering the ice on his body.
"Just in time!"
After using Haki to break the ice on his body, Id continued to assume the Molding Magic stance and laughed, "Ice-Make: Rose Garden!"
"Boom!"
Id directly replicated the Ice Rose Garden that Ur had used before, attacking Ur who was a hundred meters away.
"Rose Shield!"
Seeing this, Ur subconsciously used a shield made of roses, easily blocking the Rose Garden released by Id, and said in shock, "Id, you actually imitated my Molding Magic?"
"Haha!"
"Is magic such an inconvenient thing?"
Id looked at Ur and laughed loudly.
Although Ice-Make Magic is free-form and every user has a shape most suitable for them, it never meant that a user couldn't use other forms.
In Id's view, the so-called 'freedom' meant that he could use whatever form of molding magic he wanted to use.
"You guy..."
Saying this, Ur continued to assume the Ice-Make Magic stance.
"No more, no more."
"That move just now drained all the magic power in my body."
Id waved his hand at Ur. He didn't have any spare magic power to fight Ur now.
If he continued to fight using Haki, in Id's view, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
After all, Id's goal was to enhance his magic through combat.
Current Magic Points: 10
At the same time, Id opened his system panel. Upon discovering that his magic points had risen to 10 after this battle which lasted less than ten minutes, the corners of his mouth immediately rose, and he smiled, "As expected, combat is the most efficient."
Under meditation, ten minutes provided at most 3 magic points, but with combat, ten minutes could provide 10 points—more than three times as much.
"Recover magic power."
"Then continue fighting."
After discovering that combat could quickly increase magic points, Id immediately sat down cross-legged and began to recover the magic power in his body at high speed.
About five minutes later, after roughly recovering his depleted magic power, Id sought out Ur again and smiled, "Ur, let's continue fighting!"
"Again?"
Ur looked at Id with a bit of a headache. She suddenly felt that her idea of finding Id for sparring was a mistake from the very beginning.
"Boom!"
Just like that, Id and Ur began a daily life named 'Fighting Feels Great'.
As Id compressed eating, resting, and sleeping into within 11 hours, he had thirteen hours every day to pester Ur for sparring.
This allowed Id to gain 586 magic points every day. The only thing Id felt was a pity was that his recovery state after emptying his magic didn't generate magic points; it didn't even count as a dormant state. This made Id feel quite disappointed.
