My Muscle System in the Mage World

"Yes," the two brothers nodded simultaneously with confidence.

"The killer is the same as the one who killed the Alchemist Elmer."

Noah slumped into the chair with a weary expression on his face.

How could he not know who the killer of Alchemist Elmer was? It was Aur or someone he knew.

"That brat…" His eyes were filled with resentment. Not only did the village lose the alchemist, but even the head guard had fallen to his hand.

However, that wasn\'t the main problem. Although it was a huge loss for the village to lose a tier two wizard, it was still bearable.

But offending those merchants was not something the village could afford to provoke.

Now, because of Aur, they have provoked them.

"That villain Aur is a sinner, however," Noah paused. "Hide all the evidence."

The two brothers were stunned when they heard "Village Leader!?"

"Hmph," Noah coldly snorted. "I am sure if that second master really wanted to save his tenth brother, then he could have taken action himself. That was just a ploy for the inheritance that their father would leave, just an internal struggle."

"However, that guy couldn\'t take action, so he used a borrowed knife to kill him. If it was known that Aur was the murderer, then not only would he be implicated, but the village would face a terrifying backlash with those enemies hiding in the dark, patiently waiting for a rebellion. Then the village would fall."

The two brothers glanced at each other, their backs already soaked in sweat.

"Then what should we do, Village Leader?"

"Protect Aur at all costs, remove all the evidence that points towards him. If there is no evidence, then the blame will naturally shift to that second master himself." Noah coldly snorted.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the village, there was an abandoned old home with very few neighboring houses.

A burly man with long hair was looking at a book with his brows in deep contemplation.

With a casual toss, he flipped the book onto the bed.

The room was surprisingly clean, even though this was an abandoned house. That was, of course, because of the spell Aur had cast.

However, Aur still felt his nose twitch uncontrollably as he extended his hand.

The pattern of water with a strange soap combined appeared in his eyes.

"Tier one: Clean."

Wherever Aur\'s gaze went, foam started to form, cleaning the surrounding room. Sensing that his nose wasn\'t twitching anymore, he was satisfied with the result.

"Not bad, this spell is quite handy." This was a spell that he had gotten from the tenth master\'s loot, casually tossed in the space of countless treasures in his spatial ring.

"My understanding of the vitality magic has leaped through one step. As long as I get a little push, I feel like I am confident to reach the intermediate level for my vitality magic. The same is for my elemental magic." Aur sighed.

He reached a certain spot in the wall and lightly knocked, and a hidden door opened for him. In the room, plenty of equipment was kept, which looked almost like a science lab from his previous world.

Aur walked in, stretching his muscles, and started to refine spells again.

What was the most effective way to gain an understanding of magic? If you went the luxury way, then repeatedly refining the spell of the magic could greatly help to comprehend the magic.

However, these consumed a vast amount of resources, even if it was just tier one spells, and there was no guarantee of progress.

The other way was to observe nature and look at how the element of the magic interacted with it.

These methods were helpless and bleak with uncertainty for most people. This was like hitting the lottery, competing with the entire world.

The method could work, but when it would work, or even if they would die before it could work, was still a question.

Even for the comprehension of magic, they still needed a vast amount of resources. The value of resources was a vital reason for progress.

Except for talent and comprehension, resources were the most tangible thing that could essentially allow a person to rapidly increase their strength.

Since ancient times, most of the conflicts in this world are mostly based on the resources in the place. Everyone wants to rise, but the resources are scarce! Experience new stories on мѵʟ

Thinking of these, Aur refined various five elemental spells continuously: five elemental mastery, five elemental light, five elemental shield…

There were various spells among the five elemental magic, but the most important was still these five elemental mastery, one suitable for him because it enhances the body.

If Aur could advance these spells to the tier two spell, maybe his body would be strengthened again.

Nonetheless, Aur tirelessly refined these spells, and he could feel the comprehension of his going up bit by bit.

Then he switched to the vitality magic. This magic contained very few spells compared to the complete five elemental magic.

These spells were: Devour, Wizard hand, Vigour, Strength, Draconic body. These five were the only spells in the vitality magic.

As his first magic, he gained the wizard hand as his vital spell, Aur has done extensive research on everything needed for this magic.

He had a plan why he chose this outdated magic with many lost ingredients as his vitality spell.

Either way, looking at the spatial ring, Aur curled his lips. These tenth masters were really rich; they even had things that were not available in the market, and among these materials were the things that Aur lacked for his spell.

"That tenth master\'s death wasn\'t in vain. I got this material," Aur spoke and started to refine.

"But before that," he paused slightly.

"Muscle System."

He looked at the unimproved attribute of his with slight displeasure.

For him to accumulate stat points, he needed a cycle of a day to night, which meant a steady increase.

But at the same time, he couldn\'t improve rapidly, and for that, he needed an external assistant.

As for normal training, Aur had done it diligently till now. However, no results were produced. It was likely that it was fully ineffective now, but he still allocated some time for himself.

With that said, first, he refined the vigour spell.

This spell temporarily increased the core body stamina. For him to comprehend this spell took about an hour, but the main problem was the lack of core ingredients.

Now that he had it, the refining process went smoothly, and very soon, a golden pattern floated in the air, filling the entire surrounding with vitality.

A strange smell wafted into Aur\'s nose, and even he felt more energetic just because of this smell.

"As expected, this spell might look ordinary, but it has some unexpected benefits." Aur dropped his golden blood in the spell.

With a "whosh," it directly entered his mental space and settled down among the nineteen other spells.

"Now for the last two, strength and Draconic body spell."

Aur\'s eyes gleamed with determination.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Unexpectedly, both of these spells cost him more than five batches of material to refine the strength spell and another ten sets of material to refine the Draconic body spell, unlike the other vital magic spells which took less than three sets of material.

With a hard five days of work, he finally came out of the secret compartment looking weary and tired.

Naturally, refining the spell was an exhausting process, even for Aur, who had a strong soul. Refining continuously for five days had accumulated fatigue.

The moment he walked out, Aur lay in bed, sleeping peacefully. He had set up countless traps in the place, so even if someone inadvertently walked in, they would die without knowing how they died.

After some time of rest, Aur slowly opened his eyes and calmly sat up in bed, looking at the two newly acquired spells with a curious expression.

The spell count had already increased to twenty-one again, and the walls of his mental space started to become unstable again.

"Sigh, I need to discard some spells." After some thought, Aur resolutely discarded four spells which he would never need.

Ten Leaps!

Turtle Shell!

Snake transformation!

Wind Slash!

These spells were useless to him, and he couldn\'t use them. As for Wind Slash, this was a spell he looted from one of the tier two wizards from the tenth master.

Unfortunately, his luck wasn\'t as good as others. With three tier two wizards, he couldn\'t get a single tier two spell.

But these spells had truly become useless.

These ten leaps basically didn\'t have much increase in speed, the turtle shell spell became even more useless with his body\'s natural defence; he didn\'t need it.

And the snake transformation even degraded his power instead.

Now he looked at his mental space, thinking deeply, looking at the three brand new spells.
