Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 154 The Direction of the Demonic Path

After chatting for a while, Jiang Shaoxu got up and left.

Wang Teng, having tasted meat before, naturally had a high resistance to her and wouldn't be like Mo Fan, whose mouth was practically watering.

"Old Wang, I want to ask you what this 'control' you mentioned is all about?" Mo Fan came over and asked directly, expressing his doubts.

"Control means that as a mage advances to a higher level, the number of stars increases, and their control over magic becomes stronger and stronger."

"Upon reaching the Super Rank, one can, to some extent, bypass the Star Rank rules, use the Star Palace as a magic supply device, and directly release the desired junior, intermediate, and advanced Super Rank magic."

"Actually, at higher levels, you can feel your control over fire magic energy gradually improving, right?"

"Beginner level is the starting point, intermediate level is proficiency, advanced level is control, and I'm not sure about the advanced level and above."

Wang Teng explained the general concept of control to him, and guessed that this guy had never studied it, as he was often out making money and hadn't attended many classes in college.

"So that's how it is~" Mo Fan suddenly realized that his control over fire magic energy had indeed improved a lot after entering the advanced stage.

"But what is true control? How did you bypass the rules of the stars to cast spells? I see you can do whatever you want just by using skills."

Wang Teng's face twitched a few times. This guy probably didn't really want to ask the latter question. He's really shameless enough to ask such a core question.

Instead of focusing on this, you should think about whether you're on the right path in your magical journey.

"Even with your talent, haven't you noticed that you're making money a little slowly?"

"Haven't you considered where the problem might lie?"

Mo Fan was taken aback. Why was this guy saying this? But when he thought about it, he realized that compared to Wang Teng's earning speed, he was indeed far behind.

Everyone is making money in the same legitimate way, but the other party has already accumulated unimaginable resources. The more resources they have, the faster their strength will naturally improve.

"Oh~ then tell me... what's your suggestion?" Mo Fan sat up straight.

"What are your core trump cards? What is your primary combat magic? Have you truly utilized your potential magic? What is your magic system?"

Wang Teng gave him a half-smile. This guy is now at the high level, which means he has at least six types of magic, and he uses five of them regularly, making him comparable to a forbidden spell master.

"I see you're majoring in both lightning and fire magic, but haven't you noticed that you're not particularly outstanding in either? Your strength is limited, and you often rely on both types of magic to win. If you major in one type and max out your skills, you can achieve the same results, and your cultivation speed will be much faster."

"Mu Ningxue is a typical example. She is a mid-level ice mage who can rely on one trick to win. She can fight anything and has an advantage in everything."

"If you specialize in one element first, reach the high-level level three and master it, and fuse with an excellent soul seed, who in the realm of destruction magic can defeat you? Even demons can't withstand your output."

"Upgrading star seeds is manageable at the early and mid levels, but there are 343 for the high level and 2401 for the super level. Can you even finish upgrading them all? If you don't continue upgrading, the previous efforts will be wasted. Someone with these resources can easily overwrite all your efforts by fusing a small celestial seed."

"If your summoning system had a high-level bloodline commander-level summon, you could easily crush them. You deal with demons all the time, surely you know how powerful commander-level creatures are?"

"Destruction magic guarantees your burst combat power, summoned beasts guarantee your sustained combat power, and other magic guarantees your support and mobility. With a proper allocation of primary and secondary magic, how could your combat power not be high? How could your money-making speed not be fast?"

"The faster you earn, the more resources you have, and the faster you improve. One step ahead leads to another, creating a virtuous cycle."

"At this point, you will naturally have plenty of time to study what control actually is all about."

"If you don't distinguish between primary and secondary priorities and try to have all the magic, you'll find that your cultivation speed is only slightly faster than others. You won't have enough resources, your strength won't be outstanding enough, and you won't be able to make money quickly either. You'll be like carrying a mountain on your back instead of taking off with your talent."

"You have a lot of magic-type characters, so your advantage lies in the mid-to-late game, not the early game. Don't get your priorities wrong."

"You're not one of those scions of wealthy families with billions waiting to be inherited."

"If you don't join a faction, how will you secure resources?"

"Do you know that now, purchasing super-level resources depends on luck, and finding breakthrough resources is measured in years?"

"Prices are all calculated in hundreds of millions, and you'll encounter this situation again in the future."

"Of course, it's possible you'll have a lucky encounter and come across all sorts of treasures."

Wang Teng analyzed Mo Fan's path in one go. It was obvious that if you want everything, you will inevitably be mediocre, unless you accumulate experience over time.

He may seem invincible among his peers, but what good is that? This guy often faces opponents who are at least commanders or high-ranking, and he's a chosen one if he doesn't die.

Mo Fan fell silent. He never imagined that his path forward seemed to have a major problem in Lao Wang's eyes.

Because of the little loach, he cultivated very quickly, so much so that he didn't pay attention to this issue.

He was focusing his resources on nurturing the Thunder and Fire systems, but despite investing a lot of resources, he found that they weren't outstanding enough and didn't reflect the feeling that Old Wang had.

He had neglected the Summoning system for a long time, only practicing it occasionally when he remembered. But after Wang Teng mentioned it, he realized that the Summoning system was also very powerful.

His greatest trump card is the Demon type, whose combat power is determined by the amount of magic energy in the magic type and the bloodline of the summoned beast. If the old wolf's bloodline can be improved, then his core combat power will definitely be greatly enhanced.

The Shadow and Space elements are also very good, and he wants to cultivate them as well.

Currently, he already possesses six magic-related skills, making him more than capable of fighting, but not quite as strong as others. He can easily overpower ordinary mages, but he feels far inferior to Wang Teng.

He suddenly realized that he knew very little about the depth of magic. Since graduating from magic high school, he had done very little in-depth research on magic, having been too busy with battles, though he had a wealth of experience.

If I break through to the Super Rank later and gain two more magic types, that would be eight magic types. It sounds very appealing, but right now I can't take care of them all.

In order to maximize combat power, one must prioritize magic and allocate training time reasonably. This will allow one to earn money quickly, buy more high-level resources, and rapidly develop other magic systems as well.

One link leads to another...

Unless he doesn't care about the speed of becoming stronger and accumulates power over time, he will eventually be able to have it all.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, thank you so much for your suggestion!"

Mo Fan sincerely thanked him, got up and left. He really couldn't even keep up with his magic training at the moment.

Wang Teng watched him leave without saying anything more. He had already said enough, which was enough to show his friendship as classmates.

As the saying goes, one should avoid speaking too frankly to someone you don't know well. He spoke more to Mo Fan than to the others.

Who would say the real thing? It's all just ambiguous information.
