Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Second Magic Origin

"The next problem is Magic Power."

Today was his first time learning magic, so he had no experience at all.

But he didn't want what happened this afternoon to happen again. On one hand, he didn't want to exhaust his Magic Power and develop Magic Deficiency Syndrome. On the other hand, he didn't want to be unable to do anything after casting magic, leaving him vulnerable to anyone.

To achieve this, the best way was to increase his Magic Power.

He remembered that in the Grand Magic Games arc, Ultear unlocked the Second Magic Origin for Natsu and the others. This seemed to be like a backup battery.

Usually, it's not used, but once activated, it can drastically amplify Magic Power in an instant.

It's just that right now, no one has discovered this Magic Origin yet.

Lu Li began to think about how to unlock the Second Magic Origin.

**[You began to sense the Magic Origins in your body and started using Magic Power to investigate. Soon, you discovered a Magic Power container very similar to the First Magic Origin right in the center of your chest, but it was in an inactive state.]**

"Found it!"

Lu Li opened his eyes, which were shining. He didn't expect to find the location of the Second Magic Origin so quickly.

"Now the problem is how to activate this Magic Origin."

Lu Li closed his eyes again and began to think.

**[You began to think about how to activate the Magic Origin. In the anime, Ultear used the Arc of Time to activate it. You decided to use Magic Power to stimulate it, condensing a stream of Magic Power to pierce towards the Second Magic Origin.]**

"Ugh-ah!"

Lu Li opened his mouth and let out a wretched scream, his body convulsing and trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Li gritted his teeth, curling up on the bed. It took him quite a while to recover.

"Hurts... it hurts me to death!"

That just now hurt him badly. That intense, sharp pain almost made him scream his throat raw. Fortunately, he held it back in time, otherwise, he would have woken up everyone in the dormitory.

He finally knew why Natsu screamed so miserably when his Second Magic Origin was being unlocked. It was simply too painful.

"No, I can definitely endure it."

Compared to the pain of his terminal illness in his previous life, which was present almost every moment, this bit of pain was nothing.

For the sake of becoming stronger, what was this little pain?

Lu Li took out a towel and stuffed it into his mouth, continuing to condense Magic Power to stimulate the Second Magic Origin.

"Mmph mmph mmph mmph!"

Lu Li's face twisted in pain, sweating profusely, his body constantly contorting and twitching. After recovering, he continued again.

Just like that, after repeating it over a hundred times.

Lu Li felt the Second Magic Origin open. A stream of Magic Power flowed out from the Second Magic Origin, circulating throughout his body.

**[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. You have successfully unlocked the Second Magic Origin!]**

Lu Li threw the towel from his mouth aside, panting heavily.

If it weren't for the experience of being tortured by terminal illness in his previous life, he absolutely wouldn't have been able to persist.

Fortunately, he succeeded. Feeling the Magic Power flowing in his body, Lu Li's heart was filled with joy.

After resting well, Lu Li sensed carefully. The Second Magic Origin was smaller than the First Magic Origin, with a capacity of only about one-tenth of the first one.

Purely from the perspective of Magic Power, an increase of one-tenth wasn't much.

But the significance of the Second Magic Origin's existence wasn't as simple as increasing Magic Power capacity by one-tenth.

When a Mage's Magic Power is consumed, the Magic Origin automatically absorbs Magic Power from the air and converts it into their own Magic Power through the Magic Origin.

With only one Magic Origin, the recovery speed is relatively slow. With two Magic Origins, the recovery speed doubles.

If in battle, everyone who plays games knows what double recovery represents.

In *Honor of Kings*, it's equivalent to starting with a Holy Grail, which is practically a divine artifact for a mana-hungry mage.

"Next, I need to consider how to increase my maximum Magic Power limit."

In the world of *Fairy Tail*, according to magic books, Magic Power increases with age and continuous magic training.

After Magic Power is exhausted, one can only obediently wait for the Magic Origin to recover Magic Power on its own.

In Lu Li's view, that method wasn't much different from resting after tiring yourself out from muscle training in the gym.

The Magic Power limit could indeed be increased, but that speed was simply too slow.

In Western fantasy novels, mages all had a method to increase Magic Power called 'Meditation'.

Mages increased their Magic Power by practicing Meditation, and could use Meditation to accelerate Magic Power recovery after it was exhausted.

Lu Li closed his eyes again and began to think about how to create a Meditation technique.

[Your brain began to think. First is rotation. By making the Magic Origin rotate, absorbing external Magic Power like a vortex, the Magic Power in the air will be absorbed rapidly.

[You began to construct the spell formula. You successfully made the Magic Origin rotate, and the Magic Power in the air was rapidly absorbed by your Magic Origin.]

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. You have successfully created a Meditation technique. Please name it!]

"Let's call it 'Dragon God Meditation'."

[Named 'Dragon God Meditation' successfully!]

Lu Li began to run 'Dragon God Meditation'. Massive amounts of Magic Power were attracted by Lu Li's two Magic Origins. In just a short while, Lu Li's consumed Magic Power was fully restored.

"So fast! The active recovery speed of a single Magic Origin is at least ten times faster than passive recovery. With two Magic Origins, the recovery speed is twenty times faster!"
