Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 270 Chapter 271 The Magic Impossible Triangle

It has been some time since he started refining the soul seed, but Xu Shen's brows have been furrowed more and more.

It’s not because he is dissatisfied with the effects of this soul seed.

On the contrary, just as Tong Zhouzheng said, the domain attached to this soul seed is indeed very suitable for him.

However, something went wrong with his magic.

Not only did the stars that were originally easy to control now seem a little sluggish, but the power of magic was also not as good as expected.

Logically speaking, with the blessing of his current soul-level Devouring Seed, the power of his high-level magic should be at least 6 times stronger than that of ordinary magic.

Plus the terrifying star enhancement +1 effect.

That is more than 12 times stronger than a blank high-level first-level mage.

Not to mention that he also has the natural talent of nine stars. Even if you take into account the number of stars and the consumption of magic energy to construct the Star Palace, it is more than twice that of ordinary high-level magic. How could the power not increase but decrease?

By this calculation, he is only one level high-level. Without considering factors such as attribute restraint and magic proficiency, theoretically speaking, he can beat an ordinary high-level fully-trained mage to pieces.

But the reality is that the power of his magic with full buffs is not much stronger than an ordinary high-level third-level magic.

That's not very magical.

This is simply unreasonable!
Puzzled, he went straight to Old Man Jiang's office.

Lao Deng, it’s time to share some knowledge!

Jiang Yunming laughed after hearing Xu Shen's doubts.

"I thought you knew everything. How come the top student is also in trouble?"

Hearing Lao Jiang's ridicule, Xu Shen said confidently: "The magic world is vast and boundless. I have only been exposed to it for a few years. There may be more and more problems in the future."

Jiang Yunming was somewhat relieved: "You are right. No one dares to say where the boundaries of magic are. No one dares to say whether the laws that are regarded as the golden rule today will still be correct tomorrow. The more you know, the more doubts you will have. This is a problem that everyone who enters the path of magic will encounter."

As he spoke, he took a book from the bookshelf and turned to a chapter: "Take a look at this first, maybe it will be inspiring."

"Magic Impossible Triangle?"

Xu Shen became interested when he saw the chapter title.

Jiang Yunming sat leisurely on a rattan chair, took a sip of the new tea produced in the neighboring city of Hangzhou, squinted his eyes, and his mind wandered.

In a trance, he recalled the scene when he was in high school, he stayed in Lao Gu's office and refused to leave, arguing with him with saliva flying everywhere.

In a blink of an eye, the thick and refreshing hairstyle turned into today's Mediterranean style, and the strong and upright body gradually became bloated and hunched.

Time is unforgiving. In the blink of an eye, I have grown old.

The glass reflected Xu Shen as he read a book with great concentration. The breeze blew up the curtains, and bursts of youthful laughter filled the air.

Jiang Yunming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although I am old, there will be a forest of spring trees in front of the rotten tree.

Finally, Xu Shen finished reading this chapter before Jiang Yunming fell asleep.

The so-called magic impossible triangle.

That is to say, when releasing any magic, it is impossible to simultaneously meet the three conditions of minimum magic energy consumption, fastest casting speed, and greatest magic power.

Countless pioneers came forward and found the magic that best balanced the three. The star construction model of this balance point is called the standard model of magic.

This is also the reason why almost every wizard's magic is similar before reaching a high level.

Xu Shen seemed to be thinking about something.

His "standard model" is based on 9 stars and was created by exhaustive enumeration. However, does the magic model created by exhaustive enumeration behind closed doors really achieve the best balance between the three?

In particular, the book also mentions that each individual's talents and the spiritual objects integrated into the practice may affect the changes in magic energy consumption, casting speed, and magic power, which may cause the standard model to no longer apply.

After reaching a high level, exploring one's own magical path is the only way for every strong person, and this is also the fundamental origin of the emergence of magical control.

At the end of the chapter, it is specially written: The Impossible Triangle Theory of Magic guides wizards on their own path of seeking the way, making the magic world diverse and flourishing. The Impossible Triangle is a flaw, but isn’t it also perfection in another sense?
When Xu Shen read this sentence, he trembled all over as if he had been enlightened.

Jiang Yunming smiled when he saw him finish reading, "The standard model based on 7 star seeds is already very mature. Even if the standard model has changed due to the absorption of soul seeds and heaven seeds, it is nothing more than those few types. The predecessors have already summarized them. Most mages stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and just copy them directly.

But you are different. Being born with nine stars is an unheard-of talent. We can foresee the huge potential it contains, but how much you can bring out depends on you.

You said before that your magic models were obtained by exhaustive method. I hope you will not use this stupid method anymore. Magic has a soul. You need to feel it and comprehend it. "

"Perhaps, without the experience of the forerunners, this road is destined to be difficult for you, but the experience of the sages can also make people lazy and dependent. Reality forces you to follow the example of your predecessors and explore the unknown. Isn't this a kind of luck?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a few handwritten notebooks from the drawer.

"These are the experiences of some friends in realizing their own control, transcendence, magic and even forbidden realms. I shamelessly asked for them. Take a look at them. Maybe they will give you some inspiration."

Xu Shen was moved.

If Jiang Yunming had not anticipated this day, he would never have been able to do this.

The orphan, who had always been accustomed to being left alone, was actually a little at a loss when he received these heavy notes.

"Why? You don't want it, little brat?"

"No."

Xu Shen's mouth trembled slightly and he was speechless.

Jiang Yunming smiled and patted Xu Shen on the shoulder: "Young man, a road full of thorns will inevitably be accompanied by fragrant flowers. Don't be discouraged. We old guys are very optimistic about you."

……

The road of magic is long and difficult.

Xu Shen took Ding Yumian into seclusion for more than a month, and he began to feel something vaguely.

It's only June, but the summer in Shanghai is already too much for crickets to bear. They chirp all night long.

At this time, Mo Fan suddenly came to him and said that he had received news that a fire elemental holy spirit had been born in Dunhuang, and he wanted to invite him to take a look.

It just so happens that the Ruoshui team has never been on a mission together since the expansion, so they can take this opportunity to get used to each other.

"It's really a bad timing. You guys go ahead." Xu Shen shook his head and said, "I still have some things to do."

Mo Fan was puzzled as to what this guy was thinking about all day long.

"You need to find your contracted beast, and I need to find mine."

"Your contracted beast?"

Mo Fan raised his eyebrows.

Come to think of it, it seems that I have never seen this guy's contracted beast.

"Do you need help?"

Mo Fan is a generous person.

The ancient cultivation method that was given almost for free, plus Bo Cheng's kindness in saving Xin Xia, it would be better for Yan Ji not to have it.

"That's not necessary. Don't worry. I'm not in any danger. It's just that our schedules conflict. Otherwise, I would really like to go with you."
