Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 526 Bloodshed, I want to see bloodshed!
The explorer shook his head with a wry smile, seemingly somewhat helpless.

"Little wizard, don't just focus on those apprentices who are destined to fail. The bloodline side and the elemental side may have some flaws, but they are not as serious as you think."

I strongly agree with your grandfather's "serpent and vine theory" because many problems that seem unsolvable at a lower level become easy to solve at a higher level.

With magic, you have the power of anything.

As long as you know how to use it and are able to use it, the 'poisonous snakes' along the way will only become stepping stones for you to gradually become stronger.

Become stronger as quickly as possible, by any means necessary!
Only by becoming stronger can we resist external dangers.

Internally, it can also use better means to adjust itself and avoid danger.

This is why wizards repeatedly emphasize the importance of knowledge.

As he spoke, the explorer picked up the book in his hand and waved it, saying:
"Leaving aside the fact that your book is also a manifestation of knowledge, just look at the theory you just proposed."

Refining essence into qi? That's pretty much the path of knight training, isn't it?

How long does it take for an ordinary person to train to become a full-fledged knight?

Five years?

ten years?

Twenty years?
"And this is considered relatively talented. How many people train until their qi and blood decline, yet still fail to become a formal knight?"

“But wizards are different.”

"After entering the wizarding academy and sensing spiritual power, one can directly construct a magic core by drawing on the power of the 'elemental spirits' in the outside world, and immediately gain the ability to cast spells."

"Not only did they immediately gain combat power, but they also had a higher starting point, allowing them to improve more quickly."

"This is a perfect example of the 'venomous vine theory' in action..."

Yaro listened respectfully, but inwardly he disagreed.

Yes, the construction of the magic core did borrow the power of the external 'elemental spirits', but in Yaro's mind, this did not fall under the application of the 'venomous vine theory'.

What kind of venomous snake is a force that has already been tamed?
Is it considered borrowing a venomous snake when an ordinary person uses fire?
But Yaro couldn't really refute it.

On the one hand, it was because of the vast disparity in strength between them and the explorers that rashly refuting them might be dangerous.

On the other hand, it was because Yarrow discovered that there were ideological differences involved!
Carefully considering the explorer's words, two lines of reasoning can be discerned.

Firstly: [As long as you succeed, everything is a success.]

To maximize one's own interests, one will go to any lengths, even resorting to unscrupulous means, to achieve success!

Furthermore, as long as one succeeds, one doesn't care about the stepping stones.

Many so-called 'venomous snakes' are actually capable of communication, so why isn't there an option for peaceful exchange where each party gets what they need?

Secondly: [Lack of empathy, weak willingness to care for others like myself, since I've already made it ashore anyway]

—Yes, that's the example the explorer gave, about wizards building their magic cores as beginners.

Indeed, many people have successfully constructed a magic core using that method, but what about the many others?

Just like the Owl Wizarding Academy, who still remembers those who lived in Emerald Plains?

At least Senior Delia was able to successfully sense mental energy later on, but what about the others?

It takes about a hundred magic stones to get into a wizarding academy.

Consider the income of an ordinary wizard apprentice: even venturing into the Dark Plains, one can only earn a few magic stones a month.

Based on the skill level (at least a beginner wizard apprentice) and the danger of the work, it can be roughly compared to a monthly salary of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the previous life.

More than a hundred magic stones, that's hundreds of millions! After spending such a huge amount, are we going to go back empty-handed?

impossible!
Most people will fight to the death at the last moment!
Or, die in some unknown corner.

If you're lucky enough to earn magic stones, you'll become one of the students in the 'Mental Strength Detection Class' who pay for mental strength testing and are noticeably older than the others.

If none of that works, then the only option is to sell oneself, become a living specimen on the experimental platform, and wait for the experimental results, hoping for good luck to come.

—Although they didn't know what kind of experiment would be conducted.

What if?
No?
This is the Emerald Plain, the 'Plain of Despair' that Brother Desi spoke of!
They failed at the very first hurdle in becoming wizards, a consumable item that the explorers hadn't even mentioned.

However, with the same level of investment and the help of enough magical plants, "Blood Frenzy" can definitely condense a life force core!
Although the 'Vitality Core' is far inferior to the 'Magic Core', judging from the 'Martial Arts' summarized earlier, the Vitality Core is at least two levels lower than the Magic Core.

The core of vitality belongs to 'Qi', and it is necessary to 'refine Qi into spirit' to condense life-type magic power, then use life-type magic power to construct the magic power core, and only then can spiritual power be condensed.

But it is more accessible to the general public and easier to promote!

Their combat strength won't be much different!
But in the eyes of explorers, it becomes 'difficult to get started,' 'too time-consuming,' and 'slow to grow in strength'... which have become its biggest drawbacks?

Those who cannot enter the wizard apprenticeship are not even within his consideration!

Yaro suddenly realized that the explorer's way of thinking... or rather, the way of thinking of most wizards, was very similar to the 'pirate civilization thinking' he had heard about in his previous life.

It's not about which line of thinking is better; after all, so many people debated this in the past without reaching a conclusion, each saying their own version of events and each having their own logic.

Ke Yalu had already realized that there was no point in talking to him about this kind of thing.

There's a saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"... Anyway, it's not my hometown, so I'll respect the fate of this world and let you do whatever you want.

Just—don't appear in front of me.

After all, a wise man keeps away from the kitchen.

However, Yaro's desire to promote 'martial arts' became even stronger.

On the one hand, it's because their own 'talent' lies in this area, and promoting 'martial arts' is creating a new opportunity.

On the other hand, it's because of the feeling of being a stranger in a strange land, and the lingering loneliness in one's heart, that one hopes to create something familiar in this world.

There's also a tiny bit of ulterior motive, a small sense of anticipation, or perhaps it's because of a deep-rooted fascination with river civilizations...

What would happen if 'martial arts' truly appeared in this world?

Princes and generals, I would rather be kind!
Blood flowed like rivers! I want to see blood flow like rivers!
With a single thought, the world expands, and Yaro suddenly felt... this world was more interesting!

However, as the saying goes, "A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him" and "A virtuous person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall."

Yaro said nothing, but nodded repeatedly, admiringly saying:
"Ah, yes, yes, the explorer is right! I was just ignorant and didn't think it through!"

Having said that, Yaro rubbed his hands together, looking both greedy and cautious, and asked timidly:
"Um... Explorer, you previously said you would purchase 'Blood Frenzy' at a reasonable price, what do you think...?"

"Oh?" The explorer paused, then looked at Yaro with a half-smile. "I just gave you so much knowledge, isn't that enough to exchange for this book?"

"Hey...hehe..."

Yaro smiled awkwardly but politely: "Weren't we exchanging ideas just now? Otherwise, how could I have shared my thoughts on the follow-up?"

"Isn't your design concept a refinement of the theory I proposed?"

"Isn't exchanging theories a form of communication?"

As he spoke, Yaro looked at the book in the explorer's hand and whispered, "That book isn't just theory; it's a finished product that I've put a lot of effort into perfecting!"

Yaro's voice grew fainter:
"You just said that it's very difficult to translate theory into practice..."
