I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

?Chapter 141: 133 But things are different now! (Vote for monthly tickets) Chapter 141: 133 But things are different now! (Vote for monthly tickets) Lin An’s past was always oppressive, arising from his weakness.

He was powerless against the Witch-hunting Knights; all he could do was to run and run again. He couldn’t contend with those powerful wizards but could only resort to clever use of his spirit.

Yet he knew that not every escape attempt would be successful. Whether it was Zhuang, who constantly focused on researching and upgrading his hunting methods against him, or the hunting marks displayed by Feng Xin, they all reminded him of this.

And on the wizards’ side, it was the same. Innate witchcraft wouldn’t reveal a dark gold statue, and a powerful wizard would never give him enough time to reach for the dark gold statue floating in the air.

But now it was different!

It was so different!

Lin An truly felt an urge to weep for joy; he had finally reached this step!

How incredibly challenging it had been, every single step was so hard.

It was just too hard for him!

Now that he had passed through the Emotional Fluctuation Period and become a formal Wizard, he could start practicing witchcraft.

It was only at this stage that he would know how powerful a wizard really was and why, despite generations of Witch-hunting Knights amassing Antlers and Rabbit Eyes, they couldn’t completely exterminate the community of wizards.

‘Mountain-Sea Monster Skill’, just this one spell allowed him to demonstrate such immense power instantly.

No, it shouldn’t be just the ‘Mountain-Sea Monster Skill’. There should also be layers of ‘Oil Painting Vision’ and ‘Black Cat Transformation’ at its base.

He needed this spell!

He needed to master the ability to transform into a creature similar to a snow leopard again in the future!

Once mastered, facing Witch-hunting Knights and wizards, he would have the power to fight back; no longer would he need to cringe in fear of crises, powerless to resist!

This keen desire to take his life into his own hands had always been his utmost aspiration!

But the casting of this ‘Mountain-Sea Monster Skill’ was so complex, the consumption for Chen Shuyun was so immense, and according to her, it seemed to be a ‘random transformation’ ability—next time he might not even transform into this creature, right?

What to do?

What to do?!!!

He truly wanted to possess this ability in the future!

With it, the difference would be like night and day!

He must find a way to master it!

Thus, he once again thought of the spirit. Yes, whenever he faced an insurmountable problem, he would first consider the spirit.

Not the Witch-hunting Knights’ Furnace nor the wizards’ witchcraft, these two approaches.

He quickly had an answer.

Black Cat Transformation! The source of this ability seemed to be the Black Cat painting he crafted by consuming a vast amount of spirit. Yes, it started there!

That’s when Professor Cao asked him to observe the movement of felids. So, he spent spirit observing Chen Xinmi’s Black Cat, and then expended spirit to draw it.

This seemed to be a way!

Just like when he drew the black cat painting, he would draw every detail of this mountain-sea monster!

Everything seemed to come back to a point he was familiar with.

Observe the essence of form and movement, every detail!

“Let’s run away quickly. I didn’t expect that this witchcraft would consume so much of me, I’ve never cast it before…” Chen Shuyun’s voice was becoming weaker, and the grip around the Black Cat’s neck was diminishing.

Her eyes were tightly shut; she could only see swirling colors and was breathlessly struggling.

Lin An was simply scrabbling at the edge of the high building’s balcony, looking down at Feng Xin, who was charging up the exterior wall of the building, and then at Zhuang, who had started swinging his hammer, squinting his eyes.

No!

Run my ass!

I need these two people to force all the details of this body to come out!

To excavate all the potential of this body!

To completely capture the essence of its movement!

Boom~
Feng Xin, brandishing two large scimitars, shot up like an arrow toward the Big Cat peeking out its head. His body spun rapidly as if he were a giant drill.

Of course, she couldn’t see the Big Cat’s head, she could only discern the cat’s current location through the hunting marks.

Zhuang abruptly plunged into the middle floors of the building, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Hey~”
The barbed tongue licked at the corner of his mouth as the long tail swished lightly.

Lin An took a slight step forward, his body passing through the channel pulsating with colorful electrical light, and instantly appeared in midair beside the building.

Next to Feng Xin.

“Slap!”

A meaty palm struck Feng Xin’s side, sending her flying with great force to crash into another building, blowing apart clumps of yellow clay.

Then, plummeting to the ground with agility, Lin An took another step forward.

Whoosh~
He appeared on the rooftop of the neighboring building, watching as a massive fissure suddenly erupted where he had been standing.

A huge hammer tore through the yellow clay ceiling, wielded by Zhuang as he swung it with a chain, demolishing several floors of the rooftop in an instant.

After that, the frenzied, intense whirlpool of colors appeared again, and before Zhuang could swing his hammer a second time, a huge meaty palm reached out, striking his shoulder and smashing him back into the interior of the Yellow Clay Building.

Boom, boom, boom~
The moment Zhuang crashed, he rapidly swung his hammer, swiftly destroying the fragile structure of the building made of yellow clay and stone.

The entire building shook, cracked, and collapsed thunderously.

Meanwhile, Lin An had already reappeared a kilometer away in another location, observing the status of the two Witch-hunting Knights with the help of his Sky Drifter Eyes.

He was also observing himself.

His body’s strength, durability, agility, and reflexes had almost all greatly improved compared to his previous Black Cat state.

Then there was the ability to traverse space.

As for the rest, it seemed there was nothing more.

It appeared to be an ability more suitable for escaping; his claws scratched at the armor of the Witch-hunting Knight, barely leaving a shallow mark.

The striking power wasn’t enough, but the force of his palms was astonishing.

Zhuang’s mocking commentary wasn’t wrong.

Lin An was almost acting on instinct, becoming more and more like a big cat toying with two mice.

The main focus was playful companionship.

Sometimes, Lin An even allowed himself to take a hit from Zhuang and Feng Xin, gauging the extent to which they could harm him.

In order for them to hit him, Lin An even stopped using the ‘Oil Painting Vision’, opting to contend with them in this monstrous form.

Um~~~
In this respect, he slightly overestimated himself.

Feng Xin’s scimitar truly could slice through his flesh, and Zhuang’s hammer nearly crushed the organs in his chest cavity, spilling them out.

After enduring such damage twice, Lin An dared not mess around any longer and focused on playing with the two.

Yes, playing.

Playing like a cat with mice.

However, these mice were evidently too tough; no matter how he slapped or scratched, he couldn’t breach their skin.

It was a stalemate, but Lin An possessed the ability to escape at any time.

Actually…

Lin An looked thoughtfully at his claws, considering that he might actually have the ability to inflict harm on the two.

That would be…

Skinning Knife Skill!

But he didn’t attempt it at that moment.

It was, after all, a technique of the Antler Witch Hunter Knight, and moreover, one that Mr. Cao had developed himself; now, only his original identity possessed this ability.

The young boss, although learning alongside Lin An, either resisted this skill that cast aside ‘posture’ and ‘attack techniques’ in favor of the Breathing Skill, or it simply wasn’t suited for him—he had not yet mastered it.
