Age of Adepts

Three months later.

When Grim reawakens from a long meditation, a little sadness appears on his face.

“Chip, how efficient was my meditation this time? ”

“In the statistics… mental strength grew by 0.007. To reach a 20-point peak, it is estimated that 139 days will be required at the current schedule. ”

The muscles in the corner of Grimm's mouth twitched.

He is now the body of the flame, and has used the authority of the tower to create a flame-rich dwelling for himself, and the daily staple foods are magical foods that help the flesh * body and spirit, along with the pillows of the fire diamond, the flowers of the deep sea (which help meditation), the progress of the day is only 0.007 points. This makes Grimm feel inappropriate for previously meditating at 0.05 points.

Since becoming a quasi-wolf, Grimm has found that basic meditation and witchcraft studies have had little effect on the growth of spiritual power. Like he has chip aids to detect his mental growth in detail every day. And the quasi-witches who don't have this means, they're ten times less efficient than themselves, and by what means do they survive this particularly difficult period of suffering?

Grimm looked back and was surprised.

It seems that the quasi-witches rarely have houses to meditate bitterly on in their dwellings, but most of them run west and try to grind themselves through mission trials. Previously, Grimm always thought they did it for resources. It now appears that they are not trying to stimulate spiritual growth by wandering on the brink of life and death because of slow mental growth.

This is not an option!

“Chip, have you analyzed the reason for the slow growth of mental power for so long? ”

“Dip, task model completed. The analysis showed that the main task of the human apprenticeship period was to work to increase the energy concentration of elements in the body in order to obtain a qualitative change caused by quantitative change, which led to a leap up to the magical creature - the Wizard.

After entering the quasi-witch stage, mental power growth is slow because the accumulation of elemental energy is already reaching bottlenecks. Due to the lack of the necessary core traction, the energy accumulated in the previous period can cause unpredictable disturbances to the latter due to its elemental properties. This has led to a significant reduction in the efficiency of energy accumulation at a later stage. ”

Same-sex attraction and common rejection of elemental energy?

These are some of the basic theories of elemental witchcraft that have already been summarized by our predecessors. Simply put, among all the elemental particles, the elemental particles of the same property are more likely to aggregate together, forming homogenization of the spatial region. Witches call it same-sex attraction!

However, this aggregation is also limited, and once this concentration threshold is reached or exceeded, the wizards find it extremely difficult to reconnect the elemental particles of the contractual properties. It's as if there's still a great deal of exclusion between these same-sex particles, refusing to get too close. So there are wizards who call it common exclusion.

Elemental particles have both same-sex attraction and common rejection, the key of which lies in the local concentration of elemental particles. Below this concentration valve point exhibits an attractive characteristic and above this concentration valve point exhibits an exclusionary characteristic. The reason for this is that the wizards have not yet made a detailed and specific determination, or have already made a determination, but Grimm, the witchcraft knowledge, is not yet eligible for access.

“Chip, is there any workable solution to the current dilemma? ”

“Dip, data analysis is complete. There are two possible options:

Scheme one, transplant crystals.

Wizard apprentices are distracted and lack the necessary core constraints. Fire-based crystals can be implanted in the brain by transplanting crystals, thereby reducing the repellency of the fire-element particles.

Advantages: It can solve the problem of slow spiritual growth and improve the success rate of the ritual promotion of wizards.

Cons: Foreign implanted fire-based crystals cannot be compared to the core of self-condensing elements, limiting the possibility of subsequent development.

Option two, Mental Stimulant.

Across the elements directly accumulate the faint stimulus to the mental space, a means of directly stimulating the mental body is sought to reduce the resilience of the mental body to obtain an increase in the spiritual upper limit. ”

Grimm frowned deeply.

Uh, limited to the knowledge of the chip, it suggests neither of the two schemes Grimm likes. The solution is simply the worst way to destroy the future of self-destruct, only for the hopeless quasi-witches. Option two is also less reliable. Whether or not this method can cultivate a wizard doesn't know, but cultivating a psychopath is steady.

Since crooked paths are difficult to obtain, Grimm can only focus on the origin of the wizard.

Spirit Force!

The reason that human wizards set 21 points as the basic threshold for breaking human limits is probably because 20 points is already the physical limit that humans can reach!

Beyond this threshold, human wizards have some intrinsic differences from ordinary humans, more like a magical creature. So the difference between a 21-point witch and a 20-point quasi-woman power is so great, probably because the basic data of the body template is completely different!

With the aid of so many advantages, Grimm does not need a life and death trial and can still achieve a daily spiritual increase of 0.007 points. If other quasi-watches find out, they'll go mad jealously. But for Grimm, it's still too slow, too slow!

Because... because that evil bug Ntik's recent changes are making his heart palpitate!

I thought I was going far beyond the crowd, and it was sooner or later to catch up with and surpass that Entik. But Grimm's mind became less certain when he ran into Entique in the high tower earlier!

The evil worm Ntik changes almost every day, and the enormous spiritual repression becomes more and more apparent. Based on the chip scan, it is highly likely that Ntik has reached more than half his mental strength, which is more than 20.50 points. And it's only six months since he became a quasi-woman!

This suggests that the spiritual enhancement progress of the evil bug Ntik is not weaker than that of himself.

Of course, this may also be related to Ntik's access to the fifth floor of the Marsh Tower every three or two days. From the scans on the chip, the Anderson wizard was most likely running a blood fusion experiment on Ntick. Because the chip actually detected a familiar smell of blood on Entik.

Although the taste of this silk blood is extremely weak, it is still subtly removed by genetic testing at the chip cell level. What makes Grimm angry is that the source of this blood factor is most likely pointing to Mary.

This suggests that the blood samples that Mary last submitted to the Anderson Wizard have been applied to the evil bug Ntik. Throughout the day, two bloodlines fought in Ntik's body, which was not stingy enough to keep him on the brink of life and death every day, and no wonder his mental strength was growing rapidly every day.

Reconciliation with the evil worm Ntik is no longer possible. What worries Grimm the most is that if Ntik gets to the Quasi-Witch Peak one step ahead of himself, something that he doesn't want to see will most likely happen.

Data published in witchcraft books can be analyzed, and the success rate of witchcraft promotion in the dispersion Tallinn region is not high. Basically, it's a blessing to have two to three advanced wizards of the ten quasi-words. Although the talent potential played a great role in the promotion ritual, it was fortunate to have more success in leading the promotion.

Powerful quasi-words do have a higher success rate than weak quasi-words, but they are not 100%. Some talented generations, with talent, can still fail when advancing to the rank of Wizard! And those with poor talent, if blessed, may also rise to the helm of the heavens and the earth - the Wizard!

So in the wizard continent, any quasi-woman is fearful at the promotion ritual, only to step on the air, and hence become a loser in life. After all, after a failure of the promotion ceremony, there will be a considerable decline in the spiritual upper limit of the prospective witch, and the likelihood of the next promotion will plummet by 50%.

So apart from the proud sons of the heavens, of which the extended family is particularly concerned, no wizard family is willing to make new investments in a quasi-woman who has failed once.

And that's what Grimm worries about the most!

If... if that Ntick gets to the quasi-woman peak first, and he just needs to say to those wizards who are responsible for the promotion ritual that eating up Mary will guarantee 100% success, then... what will happen?

One is a prospective witch who has signed a family witch contract, one is a prospective witch who has signed a service contract; one is a 100% success rate of promotion and one is two equally unknown success rates of promotion...

If any more Anderson witches intervene, then Mary's life is in real danger!

Grimm didn't tell Marie about that. It is not helpful to tell impulsive-prone Mary these without additional means to break the situation. Unless Grimm is able to capture ten or eight wizard monsters in one breath and get Marie to make it up to her, she'll have to rely on herself to break the game.

Grimm looked down at his right hand, with two black beetle fragments in his open palm. Through powerful elemental vision, Grimm can barely see some of the ever-changing Mastawan from beetle fragments. One fragment has only the word "save me", while the other has the word "Tummary”.

The two beetle fragments did not appear at the same time. The first one was a month ago at night, when Grimm climbed in through the window while meditating in the residence. A black beetle the size of a nail cap exploded slightly upon climbing onto his wooden table, leaving behind only this strange bearded shell. As for the second, it just showed up a week ago.

Grimm inferred that Entik meant to devour Mary, which was a clue from the crustacean script, otherwise it would be difficult for him to guess anything as ridiculous as the sea.
