Age of Adepts

Grimm is, of course, completely ignorant of these secrets.

He's typically in pain and happy now.

Though he thought he had had plenty of time to develop silently, today's events reminded him that things would probably not grow as smoothly as he had anticipated.

He had the illusion that his apprenticeship career would last forever so smoothly. But today's thrilling encounter made him understand the untouchable deep gulf between his junior apprentice and his senior apprentice.

Looking at the witchcraft tools of advanced apprenticeships that are entirely compatible with different gifts and abilities, Grimm feels more and more lagging and backward.

If you follow the original development trajectory, you may need three to four more years to advance yourself to intermediate apprenticeship with daily meditation and witchcraft accumulation. In order to become an advanced apprentice, Grimm will have to suffer for 10 years on the intermediate apprenticeship. As for becoming a quasi-woman? With Grimm's current talent, hope is not great.

As a Wizard Apprentice, every little spiritual growth is so precious and difficult. If talent is not as talented as others and you want a faster pace of improvement than others, the only way is to usurp more resources and enough witchcraft knowledge to support it.

There is no other way.

The first option to improve your witchcraft is to improve your physical fitness. Any witchcraft, whether auxiliary or remote, always supports its own body. Witchcraft can be more effective in its own killing power only if it possesses perfect physical qualities.

Immediately after his safe return from the death outside the tower, Grimm locked himself in his dwelling and pondered bitterly.

In the four major wizard development directions summarized by the predecessors, Grimm weighed the advantages and disadvantages and, in combination with his own situation, silently chose the way forward for himself.

Body Refining Wizard.

To become a body wizard, you must first have a strong will that is inflexible and iron-cast. Because in order to stimulate and strengthen their bodies, they can do anything.

Some soak themselves in poison jars all day to quench their bodies, what scorpion poison, snake poison, spider poison, what seven flowers, nightmare grass, zombie powder... in short, whether it's biotoxin or plant venom, what poison they use. From shallow to deep, from weak to strong, each cell in the body is repeatedly stimulated with horrible poisons of different styles, forcing its body to unleash its potential, strengthening its flesh & body little by little.

Of course, when they do that, they will certainly do the same thing to prevent them from actually poisoning themselves by accurately calculating and extrapolating the limits they bear.

And as the alchemy moves one step further, after passing the primary threshold, with resistance, I'm afraid the common poison between the worlds will no longer work for them. Going further in the future, we can only painstakingly search for more rare voodoo poisons.

So as a refiner wizard, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the first half of my life measuring my tolerance repeatedly and looking for all sorts of voodoo that work for me.

Of course, there are also refiners who, in order to strengthen their bodies, look specifically for objects with horrific radiation capabilities and use radiation stimulation to quench their bodies. Even more sophisticated wizards will look for particularly harsh natural environments to stimulate their own progress with the forces of horrible nature.

In short, Lin Lin, as a wizard of refinery, always has to suffer in all sorts of pain, only in order to obtain a horrible body far from ordinary people.

If you want to become a refiner wizard, you first need to get a complete quenching method, and then collect all kinds of poisons everywhere for a long grinding period. And as you quench your body, you will become very weak, and you will need better, more sophisticated food to nourish your weak body.

And when the quench is small, you need to find the right technique to practice, so that you can gain more attack power and attack power from the surge.

From these basic situation analyses, Grimm's mind is still somewhat excluded from becoming a refiner wizard. Not to mention the difficulty of obtaining body refining secrets, I'm afraid even those rare ingredients that go with the body refiner will be difficult for him to handle. So, not surprisingly, this path of refining the body was directly excluded by him.

Blood Wizard, which is obviously also the easiest option in the wizard community to gain short-term combat power.

Speaking of bloodline wizards, one has to mention the most popular biotransformation among wizard apprentices. All you need is a “little” witchcraft ritual to implant yourself with a powerful magic organ, giving you some strange abilities.

It can be said that most wizard apprentices are unable to reject such simple and easy-to-use enhancements, and will make some modifications to themselves whenever conditions permit. But such things are always easy to understand! It is absolutely irreparable to lose your energy, risk contamination of your veins, and transplant yourself a useless garbage organ.

What powerful enough monsters can a wizard apprentice like Grimm, who lives in a magical swamp? With their strength and identity, it is simply impossible to hold onto those truly horrific monsters. So the apprentices were already overjoyed to be able to transplant themselves with an advanced apprenticeship-level magic organ.

The Eagle-Eyed Crusader of the High Tower Apprentice Triathlon is said to be transplanted with the eyes of a Red Eyed Crow King, which also gives him the ability to drive corrupt crows.

Grimm, however, has always been uncomfortable with such short-sighted behavior.

Red Eyed Crow King!

Such a monster, a high-energy organ, might make him step into the sky, step into the ranks of advanced apprentices, and become one of the top apprentices in the tower. But at this point, biotransformation brings the potential to an end. If he is lucky, he may be promoted to Associate Witch within five years in preparation for a future shock to the official wizard. Bad luck, I'm afraid I've had nothing to do with official wizards all my life.

After all, the difficulty of moving up to the rank of wizard is doubled for individuals whose blood is contaminated!

So compared to bloodline wizards, biotransformation is purely an evil path, and it only gets narrower and narrower, disguised to dig its own way forward.

But the path of bloodline wizards is more difficult than biological transformation.

To be a bloodline wizard, you have to find yourself an ancestral creature with a strong enough source of blood, and then acquire the power that they hide in the bloodline inheritance by purifying a lot of blood.

There are many obstacles to going this way.

First, many of the powerful bloodlines known today are in the hands of a family of magicians.

The so-called family of magicians, in fact, were often predecessors of some powerful rising bloodline wizard. As descendants of powerful bloodline owners, their bloodline naturally continues the superior genes of their ancestors. In order to maintain the continuity of the family bloodline, they refuse to marry people outside the community to keep the family bloodline pure in closed circles.

In addition to these known mighty bloodlines, other apprentices who want to follow the bloodline wizard path will only be lucky enough to try the unknown demonic bloodlines.

If the monster they inherited from the bloodline was itself only a third order creature, they would probably not even reach the second level under the influence of intergenerational decreasing factors. Even promotion to step 1 is dangerous if the blood line is not pure enough to be considered.

So the descendants of a family of powerful haematologists, if they don't have enough strength, will most likely be the best prey in the eyes of others once they get out of the house. Some wandering sorcerer apprentices never mind capturing them, squeezing blood from their bodies and giving themselves the power of some powerful creatures.

In doing so, however, a large amount of magician apprentice blood is needed, the success rate is not high, and the magician family's taboo is also.

With the strength of these families of haematologists, how is it possible to sit and watch the blood of one's own community spill out? Even at a bloody cost, they have to kill the culprits clean. So in the history of wizard development in the Wizard Continent, there was also a lot of disturbance caused by the theft of the blood descendants of a powerful family of wizards.

Seriously, the serpent apprentice who broke into the magic swamp today is probably descended from a certain family of magicians, otherwise he would not have such a distinct monster trait. Unfortunately, Grimm did not have access to his blood.

Grim has no regrets about this.

What a rich ancestral bloodline can be found in the descendants of a senior apprentice class haematologist. To help Grimm steadily advance to a quasi-witch, I'm afraid such descendants will need at least a dozen dozen dozen to satisfy that dreadful blood demand.

This is as difficult as letting Grimm directly challenge a giant dragon!

And according to Grimm's book, he is currently active in a family of haematologists in the middle of the Wizard continent, with the highest ranking reaching only seven. This is a huge gap of two levels between the top nine wizards of the wizard system.

As a hematologist, they don't need much practice and accumulation of knowledge, they just need to constantly purify their veins, so naturally they can gain strength from their ancestral veins.

A five-step blood heir can move up the ranks ten times faster than others, which allows him to move forward in the first half of his life with infinite visibility. And special blood magicians also have special abilities, which dominate the battle against their peers.

But the pinnacle of the bloodline is the end of their wizard path.

When he climbs to step 5 with strength and luck, he will painfully discover that the way forward is completely cut off and that after his witch's path reaches step 5, there will be no possibility of moving forward.

This is the greatest sadness of a blood sorcerer!

Taking this path, once the blood choices are incorrect, they will never have the hope of climbing to the summit of the sorcerer system.
