What kind of wizard are you if you don't have any entries?

Old Oren searched his mind for a moment before slowly beginning his narration.

"There are many schools of thought in the physical training of wizards."

"The most common basic body-forging build is [Constitution] + [Body-Forging Meditation] + [Body-Forging Potion], or a higher-quality [Body-Forging Magic Potion]."

"This body-forging technique aims to open up the [Body Forging Magic Pool]."

"This school of thought is simple, efficient, and quick to develop demon pools. Practitioners mainly engage in close combat and possess a little bit of witchcraft."

"The Body Tempering Magic Pool, once opened, stores Body Tempering Magic Power that can quickly heal injuries, greatly enhance health and survivability, and make one more durable and resilient."

"Those intermediate wizard apprentices who are able to participate in the interdimensional war early on are basically all [Body Tempering Magic Pools]."

"Hehe... Don't envy those guys."

"To be formed too early and then participate in interdimensional wars at the intermediate wizard apprentice level—definitely cannon fodder!"

"Furthermore, while the Bloodstained Potion issued by the War Legion has good body-strengthening effects, it also has a certain degree of negative impact on the user's intelligence."

"This has a negative effect on those who practice body training."

"But for the war legions, this effect of reduced intelligence and increased obedience is probably what they want to see most."

Body Tempering Magic Pool!

Verin's eye twitched.

Muscle mass and brain volume are inversely proportional, right?

Turning your brain into muscle? What kind of body-strengthening potion is this?

"Compared to this kind of quick-forming cannon fodder forging process."

"The melee wizard body-forging style is a more orthodox wizard style."

"This style of play requires powerful melee attributes. Basically, melee attributes will provide some degree of physical enhancement, which is one of the reasons why melee wizards are physically strong."

"Melee wizards usually open two magic pools: a normal wizard magic pool and a body tempering magic pool."

"Melee wizards forgo long-range spellcasting space, but in return gain powerful melee abilities and survivability that ordinary wizards cannot match."

"That Bloodclaw Krog is a melee-focused body-forging wizard."

"I see!"

Verin nodded.

"I said that after that guy took my curse, he was still able to turn around and say some fierce words. His resilience is truly extraordinary."

"This is the school of thought that many wizards desire, but it is also the most difficult to develop."

Old Oren paused for a moment, then continued his story.

"[Wizard Meditation] + [Constitution Attribute] + [Life Forging]".

"That is, the so-called 'remote wizard body tempering style'."

"First of all, those who can perform normal wizard meditation practice must have attributes such as soul, spirit, magic power, spellcasting, and elemental affinity."

"The entries on these aspects alone—witchcraft, and practice—already consume a great deal of a wizard's time and energy."

"Obtaining more constitution-related attributes and opening up the [Body Tempering Magic Pool] to enhance health and survivability will undoubtedly take a lot of time."

"Firstly, life survivability-related attributes are difficult to obtain; secondly, this will exponentially increase the time a wizard needs for meditation and training."

"The apprenticeship period for wizards is only a few decades long; how can we afford to squander it like this?"

"Of course, there are always exceptions."

Old Oren's words made Verin prick up his ears to listen.

"The exception is that the term must be strong enough, or it must have some very special terms."

Is the term strength high enough?

Rare and unusual terms?

Verin raised an eyebrow; why did that sound so familiar?

"For example, there is an entry called 【Demon Body Conversion】."

"It can convert normal wizard magic into body-strengthening magic."

"In addition to their regular training, wizards can convert their magic power into body-strengthening magic power to enhance their life resilience."

"It doesn't interfere with my normal wizard training at all."

Verin couldn't help but laugh.

"Two ways to cook a fish, that's so satisfying!"

"Yes!"

Old Oren nodded.

"But these kinds of entries are so rare that they depend entirely on the [entry awakening]."

"There is another well-known body-forging style, which is the [Blood Demon Body Forging Style]."

"Blood Demon Body Forging Style?"

Vilin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Senior, could you explain the Blood Demon Body Tempering Style in detail? And what is its relationship to the Blood Demon Style?"

Old Oren's gaze swept over Verin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment's hesitation, he slowly said:

"The Blood Demon Stream opens up the [Blood Witch Magic Pool], which is essentially a magic pool and cannot coexist with the regular [Wizard Magic Pool]."

"The Blood Source Pool created by the Blood Demon Body Tempering Stream is essentially a Blood Pool for storing and refining blood, and therefore can coexist with the Magic Pool."

"To practice the [Blood Demon Body Tempering] build, you first need to have a powerful life-steal attribute, and then obtain a [Blood Tempering] attribute."

"【Vampire Meditation Method】+【Vampire Affix】+【Blood Forging Affix】and you've unlocked the 【Blood Demon Body Forging Build】."

"By using the [Vampire Meditation Method] to open up the Blood Pool, and using the [Vampire Affinity] to digest various powerful blood, essence blood potions, and powerful blood-source magic potions, the Blood Pool is provided with high-quality blood. Finally, by using the [Blood Forging Affinity] to obtain powerful essence blood of the corresponding quality, the body can be nourished and life force enhanced."

"Furthermore, the Blood Pool itself is the lifeblood of this type of wizard, providing a continuous source of restoration to the body."

"In addition to the body-forging effect of [Essence of Source Blood], although the Blood Demon Body Forging Style is difficult to master, once it is, it not only has amazing defense and high survivability, but also can continuously replenish its health, making it a very powerful body-forging style."

Old Oren's explanation of physical training greatly broadened Verin's horizons.

"No wonder people say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; the elder's knowledge is truly vast."

Verin sighed inwardly.

"I already have a powerful Silver-tier Vampirism attribute. The Vampire's meditation method isn't hard to obtain either, which means that if I acquire another [Blood Forging] attribute, I can unlock the [Blood Demon Body Forging Style]."

Blood Forger

[Heart Engine]

[Boiling Blood Bones]

[Bloodline Atavism]

From Demon to Blood

Numerous terms related to "blood forging" came to mind for Verin.

"Kid, do you want to go for the [Blood Demon Body Forging] style?"

Just as Verin was pondering, old Oren's voice slowly drifted over.

Verin smiled and said:

"Senior, you truly have keen insight; nothing can be hidden from you."

By this time, Oren's injuries had completely healed, and he had almost fully recovered.

"If you want to go for the Blood Demon Body Tempering build, there might actually be the affixes you need deep underground."

"Oh?"

Verin was immediately intrigued.

Old Oren got up and paced back and forth twice before speaking slowly.

"You are now an intermediate wizard apprentice and can ride a magic broom deep underground."

"Then I can tell you about the situation deep underground."

"Deep underground, influenced by an alien dimension, there are crisscrossing lava rivers and a large number of alien creatures called Blood Demons."

"It's impossible for a low-level wizard apprentice to walk there. Only by becoming an intermediate wizard apprentice can one ride a magic broom deep underground."

"Bloodborne demons feed on lava and fire, and large amounts of volcanic crystals are often found in areas where Bloodborne demons gather."

"That's where you get the fire elemental attribute."

"However, extracting volcanic lava crystals is not easy."

Old Oren shook his head.

"Volcanic lava crystals are basically guarded by Blood Defile, including some elite Blood Defile that can fly."

"These elite blood demons are incredibly powerful; even a wizard of the same level might not be able to defeat them one-on-one, let alone these alien creatures who can fight in formation."

"Most deadly of all, the cunning and treacherous leader, the Blood Defiler, will also lurk in the shadows and launch a surprise attack on any wizard apprentices who dare to intrude."

"Countless intermediate wizarding apprentices die there every year."

Old Oren's words made Verin frown.

Clearly, going deep underground not only makes it difficult to obtain volcanic lava crystals, but also poses a risk of falling to one's death.

Not to mention that he had only just been promoted to a fourth-level wizard apprentice.

"That leader, the Blood Demon, possesses a very strong [Heart Engine] attribute, and has seven or eight [Life Hearts] within his body, which makes them extremely difficult to eliminate."

"But if you actually complete the hunt for the Blood Defiler and obtain its heart, you can use that material to craft a potion with the [Heart Engine] attribute."

"This is one of the [Blood Demon Body Forging] modifiers you need."

The term "heart engine"?

Vilin's fists clenched slightly beneath the sleeves of his robe.

The opportunity to unlock the [Blood Demon Flow Body Forging] skill is right in front of me.
