Along with the new batch of dozens of Piranha Algae reward light balls pouring into his body, two abilities on his system panel simultaneously shone with a brilliant light, the handwriting suddenly becoming blurred. At this time, Char felt it first: an unprecedented sense of sharpness. This feeling came from his magic itself. He had felt the same way the last time he harvested the Piranha Algae, but this time, it was much stronger. And at that time, he had known nothing about Transfiguration, let alone the branch of Tolman Transfiguration that involved changing the very nature of magic. But now, he had already mastered the art of transformation and had personally experienced several different Tolman Transfiguration techniques.
He could feel it at this moment, the changes that occurred in his own magic power, making it sharper. It seemed to be a kind of Tolman Transfiguration, but a permanent, harmless one, permanently adding a sharp nature to his magic. This made it more advantageous in casting cutting spells. This was already extremely unbelievable. If it was performed by a wizard, then a wizard who could reach this level would be far beyond the master level. After all, to allow other wizards to gain permanent benefits through Transfiguration, as far as Char knew, was only achievable through flesh and blood Transfiguration, a dark magic with serious difficulty and side effects. And this was achieved through Tolman Transfiguration? It was unheard of. He was afraid even Dumbledore would bow down in worship.
This also made his heart move slightly. "I thought the reward the system gave me was a miracle beyond this world, one that couldn't be explained by the theories of the magical world. But now it seems that maybe I was too ignorant before and couldn't see anything at all. Since the rewards for these specific types of spells are related to Tolman Transfiguration, could it be that other types of rewards are actually the highest achievements in certain magical fields? System… what is its origin?"
However, these doubts only lasted for a moment in his mind. If there was an explainable origin for the system, then it was probably at a much higher level than the secrets related to mythical items. He didn't even dare to explore the origin of mythical items now. It was foolish to think about the origin of the system.
Then, his eyes fell on the system panel. As the sharp nature of the magic power in his body gradually slowed its growth, the light on the words [Cutting Charm Bonus] also gradually faded. The original silver luster had now turned into a dazzling golden color, with even some platinum spots in it. [Cutting Charm Bonus (Gold Level)], promotion! It had even gone beyond that, reaching the node between the Gold and Platinum levels.
His face filled with joy. At the same time, something even more pleasing happened. Perhaps due to the change in the nature of his magic power, the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell also produced a strange movement. Originally, after it was promoted to the Gold level, its improvement progress had been much slower. Fortunately, he had a variant of the Devil's Snare on hand, which could provide a considerable sharpening effect. During this period, the words on the spell had also begun to emit a rich platinum color, reaching the node between the Gold and Platinum levels. It was just one step away. But the qualitative change of the Platinum level was not so easy to cross. He had been stuck there, feeling like it was still a problem of magic perception.
But now, with the bonus of cutting spells reaching the Gold level and even approaching the Platinum level, the sharp nature of his magic power was further enhanced. It actually caused the barrier that had blocked him for so long to begin to collapse. The last bit of golden luster on the words of the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell was fading, replaced by a pure platinum luster.
[Divine Edge Shadowless Spell (Platinum Level)], full upgrade!
Seeing such a change, even Char himself was shocked. Did this cutting spell bonus have such a big impact on the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell? Even allowing it to directly cross the bottleneck to the Platinum level? This effect was a bit exaggerated. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. "Or rather, could it be that the increase in the bonus of cutting spells just happened to fill in the puzzle piece for the promotion of the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell? It's Tolman Transfiguration. The Platinum-level qualitative change should be to make the magic power even sharper at the microscopic level. But my attainments in Tolman Transfiguration and magical perception were not up to the mark before. And I accomplished this step by relying on the bonus of the cutting spell. That's how it was promoted!"
His eyes brightened. As his biggest trump card in magic at present, the promotion of the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell to the Platinum level was definitely a pleasant surprise. He couldn't help but wave his wand, testing its power. As the wand was swung like a sword, he incanted, "Sectumsempra!"
An unprecedentedly sharp magical power slashed out in the air. Even with his physique, he felt his hair stand on end and sensed the threat. This Divine Edge Shadowless Spell was enough to easily cut through his own flesh and blood, as he currently had no corresponding magic resistance. "As expected of a spell designed to break defenses and cut off enemies," he thought. "The lethality in this area is truly astonishing."
However, for him, whose legendary life had already been sublimated once, cutting off his flesh and blood was still a long way from killing him. Even the curse, which was said to be unable to be healed once it hit you, was nothing compared to his tremendous vitality. But this effect was very useful against wizards and some small magical creatures. After feeling the power of the spell, he also showed a satisfied expression.
Immediately, his gaze grew even more intense. It fell on the main reward of the Piranha Algae: the ability to increase his power in the water. His anticipation for this ability was even greater than his anticipation for the cutting spell bonus and the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell. The reason was very simple. The previous Gold-level underwater enhancement, once triggered, could greatly increase his magic perception and magic strength. He had relied on this method to overcome many problems ahead of time. However, the Gold-level ability was still limited. When his magical perception exceeded the limit of his own talent and was rising towards the Platinum level, the effect was better than nothing, but there was no longer the feeling that allowed him to break free from the locks and be reborn.
But now, he looked at the ability, which now emitted a dazzling platinum light. His eyes were full of passion and anticipation. A Platinum-grade water holding capacity… so what would that be like?
The next moment, he waved his wand. A Bubble-Head Charm quickly took shape. As a bubble enveloped his head, on the system panel, a platinum light lit up on the underwater enhancement ability, which obviously had been triggered. Immediately, a long-lost feeling returned. The magic power flowing through his senses and blood was roaring and surging, as if the sound of surging waves could be heard in his ears. Originally, after harvesting a batch of Margaritas, his magic strength had reached the Silver and Gold level nodes. At this moment, it was quickly completely covered by the golden color. Powerful. That was the only feeling he had. Accustomed to the weak strength of his magic power, the increase at this moment was really refreshing, making him want to vent this magic power. At the same time, his perception of magic had become more nuanced than ever before. The microscopic world perceived by Platinum-level magic was constantly approaching. A hazy veil was about to be slowly lifted. On the system panel, the platinum light on the words "Magic Perception" continued to spread, about to be completely covered.
What a pity. In the end, it was still a little bit short. A barrier blocked his way. He raised his palm, a hint of resentment in his eyes. He had thought he could rely on the Platinum-level water enhancement to touch Platinum-level magic perception in advance. In this way, his various magical progress that had been stagnant for a long time could be rapidly improved. He hadn't expected it was still not enough.
But after just a moment, he calmed down. "There's no point in being anxious. When the next batch of goldfish spider plants mature, we can definitely overcome this slight difference. Just follow the routine. What's more, even if we haven't crossed that line, there won't be any real qualitative change. This quantitative change in magical perception cannot be ignored. Add to that the change in magical intensity, and the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse…" His eyes flashed. This time, after harvesting the Piranha Algae, his magical strength had increased dramatically. If he had had this level of strength on Drya Island, he could have dealt with those young Quintapeds without letting any of them escape. He wouldn't even have needed to use his biggest trump cards—legendary life and legendary power—to kill them with just his magical power.
Taking a deep breath, he was very satisfied with this harvest. What's more, after the Piranha Algae, the harvest time for several other plants was approaching. By the end of the first academic year, he would be much stronger than he had expected. He clenched his palm slightly. Continuing to develop at this pace, by the time Antonius Dolokhov escaped from prison, he would still be quite confident. After all, within the next two or three years, there was no such thing as a two-faced man in Hogwarts. Even though it was still a little dangerous, it didn't hinder his farming business too much.
Just as he was thinking about this, outside the small greenhouse, the sound of an owl flapping its wings could be heard. He raised an eyebrow, reached out, and took the letter. The letter was signed by Tonks. Her reply had come faster than he had expected. The contents of the envelope were also quite substantial. This should contain detailed information about the recent series of disappearances in the wizarding world. His eyes flashed, and he immediately opened the letter.
And after seeing the contents, his joy just now also receded like a tide. His face filled with solemnity, and a chill from the bottom of his heart.
"Voldemort…" he whispered, his voice low and dangerous. "What on earth did you do to Quirrell?"
