Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 525 Obedience is sorcery, rebellion is martial arts!
"Of course, explorer, 'Refining the Spirit to Return to Emptiness' and 'Refining Emptiness to Merge with the Dao' are both simplified versions of what you just mentioned."

"There is no basis for this; it's all speculation."

Yaro added.

The explorer stroked his chin and pondered:
"It sounds like your last two steps were about inscribing magical runes into your sea of ​​consciousness?"

Yaro was also pondering.

The knowledge I had accumulated in the past collided wildly in my mind.

"Indeed, this knowledge was drawn upon. In my conjecture, the order here is also the reverse of the spellcasting steps of elemental wizards."

The normal procedure for a wizard is to first sense spiritual power, then condense different types of magic power through spiritual power, and finally use these magic powers to manipulate the physical world and produce corresponding reactions, such as fire, water, earth, etc.

In my conjecture, 'vitality' corresponds to the magic that has already been cast.

By refining it in the opposite direction, one can condense magic unique to the life system.

This type of 'life-based magic' should also be able to enter the sea of ​​consciousness like other types of magic, then construct magical runes, and through these runes, perceive one's own spiritual power.

The explorer smiled. "This seems a bit different from what you just said?"

Yarrow nodded in agreement:

“That’s right. I originally thought that ‘god’ was spiritual power, so ‘refining qi into god’ should be a direct jump from life force to spiritual power.”

However, after comparing my own spellcasting process, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked the 'magic power' step.

Therefore, the 'god' here should be 'magic power', referring to the magical power that can be stored in the sea of ​​consciousness.

However, life force can only circulate within the body and cannot enter the sea of ​​consciousness, so it cannot yet be called life-type magic.

Therefore, the corresponding element for 'vitality' should be single-element void magic, which is the 'magic element' in the air.

For example, 'fire element', 'water element', etc.

Yaro pondered, muttering to himself:
"If 'god' is 'magic power,' then 'illusion' corresponds to 'spiritual power.'"

"The 'Tao' is a higher level than spiritual power; perhaps it corresponds to the true reason for the influence of bloodline?"

"A level higher than mental power? What do you think it would be?" the explorer asked with a smile.

"I don't know, because it's beyond the limits of my knowledge."

Yaro looked at the explorer. "Sir, your strength is formidable. On the path of wizardry, what is above spiritual power?"

"soul."

The explorer replied without hesitation.

Yaro's eyes lit up, unable to contain his excitement.

"The soul...yes! The soul! The key to becoming a formal wizard is the soul! If I can really reach this point, can I directly become a formal wizard?!"

With the help of the system, it is almost impossible for Yaro to encounter an insurmountable bottleneck on this path.

As long as I don't give up halfway, I can slowly grind it out and eventually accumulate enough skill points.

With enough skill points, becoming a full-fledged wizard is a sure thing!
"If we can really get to that point, this path will be completely clear. Whether it goes smoothly or not, you'll have everything a wizard should have, and you can completely return to the old path of a wizard... Wait a minute."

The explorer suddenly stopped, his brow furrowing slightly, as if he had discovered something.

"What's wrong?" Yaro asked hurriedly.

The explorer looked up at Yarrow, thought for a moment, and then laughed heartily:

"It's nothing, just a minor issue, but it won't affect you at all... Little wizard, your reasoning seems perfectly reasonable to me!"
Although there may be many difficulties in moving from theory to full implementation.

But your unique perspective has already pointed the way for those who follow…

Is it difficult to go from theory to implementation?
My wisdom is beyond your imagination!
—System, add points!

The explorer also said:

"...Little wizard, what name do you plan to give to this new path, which is completely different from the elemental and bloodline paths?"

"Name it?"

“Yes, that’s your right as a pioneer.” The explorer paused, then smiled and continued:
“We can’t keep calling it ‘it,’ this path, that path, that method… or perhaps, a new path of chivalry?”

"Martial arts! It's called 'the way of martial arts'!"

There may be other interpretations of 'martial arts'.

But this path is the 'martial arts' that belongs only to Yaro!
"Martial arts? Martial arts?"

The explorer chewed on these two tongue-twisting 'words'.

"Correct!"

Yaro's eyes grew even brighter.

"To follow the natural order is to be a shaman; to go against it is to be a warrior."

"From gods to humans, it is obedience; obedience is the way of the shaman."

"To go from human to god is to rebel, and rebellion is martial arts!"

This not only means that the order of cultivation of 'shamanism' and 'martial arts' is reversed, but also hides Yaro's understanding of the 'intent' of the two.

Yaro thought of the word 'witch' from his previous life.

The character 巫 (wū) is composed of 工 (gōng) and two 人 (rén). The two 人 represent heaven and earth, and the vertical line in the middle indicates the ability to communicate with heaven and earth. The two sides represent plural people.

It means that it is specifically for the benefit of all people, conveying the will of the gods in heaven and on earth.

The character '武' (wǔ) is composed of '止' (zhǐ) and '戈' (gē), signifying the art of stopping warfare and halting attacks.
The shaman believed in the gods of heaven and earth, and knelt on both knees, accepting that everything, good or bad, was the will of the gods.

Wu, believe in the 'halberd' in your hand. If you don't listen, I'll make you stop!
Is going against the grain a form of martial arts?

Looking at the upright young man in front of him, the explorer seemed to see a group of people covered in blood, roaring and shouting at the gods in the sky!

He laughed: "God? That's not a good word."

In the eyes of wizards, there are roughly only two types of gods.

One type is the 'evil god' that cannot be defeated.

One type is top-notch experimental materials, the kind that make your mouth water just by hearing about them.

Indeed, Yaro had come into contact with treasures such as the scrolls of evil gods and the bone powder of demon gods, all of which were obtained in this way.

Yaro, however, had his own understanding.

"The God I'm referring to here is mainly the 'inner God,' or you could say the 'God of the self.'"

Yarrow did not deny the explorers' interpretation, because despising 'outer gods' is also a valuable aspect of the 'martial arts' spirit.

He continued:

"For example, the bloodline that is higher than the sea of ​​consciousness can be regarded as a kind of 'inner god'."

“My grandfather once taught me a ‘snake theory’.”

"The general idea is: 'The wizard is like a vine that is used to climb upwards.'"

"This principle applies very well to the blood vessels, because at the end of the blood vessels lies the deadly snake venom."

"This is the 'inner god,' the equally deadly 'god of self.'"

The character '巫' from a previous life can also be used to interpret the wizards of this world.

—The 'witch' in 'wizard' means climbing up the rope thrown down by the gods and eventually becoming a new 'god'.

Yarrow looked at the explorer and said earnestly:
“My esteemed explorer, I once heard a saying: ‘It is better to have no books than to believe everything in them.’”

"If we keep going along the path of the 'inner god,' can we really avoid the deadly snake venom at the last moment?"

"Perhaps, halfway through the journey, they are already unaware that they have been poisoned, and by the time they want to escape, it is too late."

"Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die."

"Whether it's apprentices from the bloodline side or the elemental side, they are 'similar' rather than 'learning'."

"Martial arts is about learning, about mastering weapons, not about turning yourself into a weapon!"
