Professor of Magic

Chapter 105 The failed megalithic technique on day 8
Betty tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked, "Lin, when you dealt with the two wind wolves just now, how many magics did you use in total? Except for the first earth wall, why do the other earth magics seem to be different from my previous ones?" Have you ever seen anything different?"

The same is strange.

Lin Yuan smiled, and replied: "Actually, only 3 spells were used. Except for the first earth wall, the other two are obviously variant versions of the ground trap technique and the boulder technique."

"Mutation? Wait, you said it's a variation of Megalithic? I remember Megalithic is a big rock, right?" Betty couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Even Joshua stared at Lin Yuan closely, trying to figure out what was going on from his mouth.

"Let's talk about the ground trap technique first." Lin Yuan waved his left hand on the open space in front of them, and a small dirt pit appeared on the ground. "Look, this is actually a miniature version of the ground trap technique."

Joshua and Betty stared at the small hole in the ground for a long time, then looked at each other, then nodded at the same time and said: "I see."

"Did you deliberately adjust the magic power down?" Joshua asked.

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's right. The standard ground subsidence technique should be a pit with a length, width, and depth of 3 meters, but it would be too wasteful to use such a large pit to bury the wind wolf, so I changed it to make the pit more Smaller."

"But..." Joshua opened his mouth, wanting to say how Lin Yuan could change it without authorization, but after thinking about it, he found that what Lin Yuan said was absolutely correct.Wind wolves are small in size, and a hole created by a standard ground trap technique is enough to hold dozens of them in.

Seeing the expression on Joshua's face, Lin Yuan knew that he had figured out the truth, so he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

This Joshua, after all, is a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible to become a level 6 magician at this age.He didn't do this before because no one told them, but now after Lin Yuan reminded him, he could immediately figure it out.

Compared with Joshua, Betty's comprehension ability is much worse.But she has one advantage, that is, seeing that Joshua didn't object, she knew that what Lin Yuan said was reasonable, so she didn't refute aloud, but just thought silently.

"Then let's talk about the boulder technique." Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand, and a khaki-colored stone appeared in his palm. "Betty, you are not a level 5 wind magician and have not learned advanced magic, so you may not understand it. But Joshua, you are already a level 6 magician. I know you must know that the so-called advanced magic is nothing more than The product of highly compressed magic elements, such as the boulder technique that can be mastered by a level 4 earth magician. It is to continuously gather and compress the earth magic elements, and then let the earth magic elements finally turn into stones."

Joshua nodded, and stretched out his right hand, and a fireball with a diameter of about 20 centimeters appeared in the palm of his hand.

It's just that the color of his fireball is obviously much darker than ordinary fireballs.Moreover, Lin Yuan could clearly feel that the fire magic element contained in it was dozens of times more than that contained in the ordinary fireball technique.

"This is the most basic magic of the flame system - Flame Bullet, which compresses magic elements with at least 30 fireball contents." Joshua turned to Betty who was puzzled, and explained to her.

After seeing the fireball that Lin Yuan ignited, Joshua intuitively thought that Lin Yuan definitely didn't need his own explanation.

Sure enough, Lin Yuan didn't respond to his explanation at all, but just stretched out his left hand again, and after a while, a lump of soil appeared in his palm.

"Look, my right hand is a small boulder." This sentence is really awkward. "And my left hand is the result of not deliberately compressing the magic elements."

"This looks similar to ordinary earth bombing." Joshua looked at the clod in Lin Yuan's hand and said.

"It looks similar." Lin Yuan handed the clod to Joshua. "Pinch and try."

Joshua took the clod suspiciously, and squeezed it as he said.

"It's so hard!" This clod of soil looked like a lump of ordinary soil, but when squeezed, it was as hard as a stone, causing Joshua's hands to ache.

"This was actually a mistake." Lin Yuan pointed to the two pits where the wind wolves were buried. "Actually, I was going to summon two boulders to smash into them just now, but I have never used two boulders at the same time before. I was not proficient for a while, and I didn't compress the magic elements of the earth system well. As a result, I summoned such a soil that is not like soil. Stones are weird things that don't look like stones."

"Summon two boulders at the same time? Have you never tried it before?" Joshua and Betty's eyes widened again.

How many times does this Lin Yuan have to surprise them?

Lin Yuan looked at the two overreacting people in astonishment: "What? Is there any problem?"

Joshua patted his head in pain and said: "Lin, I really don't know whether to say you are a genius or a fool. Every study and research of magic requires very precise control of magic power and magic elements. If you don't After a long period of study and many times of control, the magic is likely to fail to be released. And if the magic fails, it is likely to cause the magic to backfire, so that life is in danger." Pause, and emphasize the tone. "Lin, I don't believe you don't know this truth."

"Of course I know. But I would like to ask you two, what is the reason for the failure of the magic release?"

"Of course it was forced to release due to lack of magic power, or lack of control over the magic elements, causing the magic elements to lose control and cause backlash." Betty finally interjected.

"Then what do you think is the reason why I failed to release those two boulder spells just now?"

Joshua frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "It should be both. The magic power required to release high-level magic is much higher than that of low-level magic, so except for earth-type magicians, other three-type elemental magicians must reach It is only possible for a level 3 magician to master advanced magic. Although an earth magician can master a boulder at level 5, they can only master this one, because the composition of the boulder is relatively simple But even so, a general 4th-level earth magician can only summon one boulder at most, Lin, you want to summon two at the same time... unless you are not just a 4th-level magician at all."

"Of course I'm only a level 4 magician, otherwise I wouldn't have failed, right?"

"Hmm..." Joshua nodded. "So, your magic power is insufficient. In addition, using two high-level magic at the same time requires too much control over magic power and magic elements. An ordinary magician can only use at most one high-level magic of the same level, and never It is possible to release two at the same time. So Lin, your failure just now should also have this problem."

Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing again, this Joshua really deserved to be a top student of Reynolds College, he was able to analyze it so thoroughly in such a short period of time.

"That's right, I admit that I failed just now because of insufficient magic power, and I also overestimated my control over magic elements. But..." Lin Yuan chuckled. "But there is no danger."

"How can there be no danger!" Joshua was in a hurry. Although he had some inexplicable hostility towards Lin Yuan, it was impossible for him to be willing to see his companion in danger. "Forcibly release the magic that I haven't mastered. When the magic power is insufficient or the control is insufficient, it is easy to be dangerous. You were fine just now, it's your luck. It will be hard to say next time."

Lin Yuan shrugged, and asked back: "Why do you want to release it forcibly? I feel that I can't control it, so why don't I just give up?"

"what?"

Lin Yuan's rhetorical question made Joshua and Betty completely dumbfounded.

The magic education they received from childhood only told them not to forcibly release magic beyond their abilities, which would be very dangerous.But no one has ever told them to give up if it doesn't work.

"For example, when I wanted to release two boulders at the same time, I realized that my magic power was insufficient, so I stopped thinking about boulders at all, and compressed the earth magic elements according to my ability, and then it became This strange look."

Joshua and Betty looked at each other in dismay. Both of them have been studying magic for more than 15 years, but they have never seen a magician messing around like Lin Yuan.But the facts proved that Lin Yuan's seemingly nonsense approach was really useful.

"Actually, I talked with you about these issues for a long time, just to tell you a truth." Lin Yuan thought for a while, and decided to make a summary.After all, they are not students in Class [-], Grade [-], and they don't have enough time to change their deep-rooted concepts little by little. "We don't need to be so rigid in learning and using magic. To put it bluntly, magic is a game in which one uses one's own magic power to control magic elements. Although there are experts and rookies who play this game according to their talents, the game's There is more than one way to play. Just as everyone can find their own fun in the same game, every magician should also be able to find their own path from learning and using magic..."
