The Wizarding Age

Three months later.

When Grimm woke up from a long meditation again, a trace of worry appeared on his face.

"Chip, how is my meditation efficiency this time?"

"According to the statistics... my mental power has increased by 0.007. To reach the peak state of 20 points, it is estimated to take 139 days according to the current progress."

The muscles at the corners of Grimm's mouth twitched.

He is now a body of fire, and he has also used the authority of the tower to create a residence with rich fire elements for himself. His daily staple food is all magic food that is helpful to the body and mind. In addition to the fire drill pillow and deep sea flower (helpful for meditation), his progress in a day is only 0.007 points. This makes Grimm, who used to meditate to achieve 0.05 points, feel particularly uncomfortable.

Since becoming a quasi-witch, Grimm has found that basic meditation and witchcraft study have no obvious effect on the growth of mental power. Only with the help of the chip can he detect the growth of his mental power in detail every day. And those quasi-witches who don't have such means, their efficiency is ten times weaker than his own, how do they support themselves through this particularly difficult and painful period?

Grimm closed his eyes and thought about it, and then he realized something.

It seems that those quasi-witches rarely stay at home to meditate and accumulate, but most of them run around and try to hone themselves through mission trials. In the past, Grimm always thought that they did this for resources. Now it seems that it is because their mental power grows slowly that they want to stimulate a significant growth of their spirit by wandering on the edge of life and death.

This is not a way!

"Chip, you have been analyzing for such a long time, have you figured out the reason for the slow growth of mental power?"

"Ding, the task model has been completed. The analysis results show that the main task of human apprenticeship is to strive to increase the concentration of elemental energy in the body, so as to strive for quantitative change to cause qualitative change, and thus leap into a magical creature-a wizard.

After entering the quasi-wizard stage, the slow growth of mental power is because the accumulation of elemental energy is about to reach a bottleneck. Due to the lack of the necessary core traction, the energy accumulated in the early stage will cause unpredictable disturbances to the latecomers due to the characteristics of the elements. This leads to a significant reduction in the efficiency of energy accumulation in the later stage."

The same-sex attraction and common repulsion of elemental energy?

This is also some basic theories of elemental witchcraft that senior wizards have long summarized. To put it simply, among all elemental particles, elemental particles with the same attributes are more likely to aggregate together, thus forming a homogenized space area. Wizards call this phenomenon same-sex attraction!

However, this aggregation is also limited. Once this concentration threshold is reached or exceeded, wizards will find that it will become extremely difficult to aggregate elemental particles with the same attributes. It is as if there is a great repulsion between these same-sex particles, refusing to get too close. Therefore, some wizards call it common repulsion.

Element particles have both same-sex attraction and common repulsion, and the key lies in the local concentration of element particles. Below this concentration threshold, it shows attraction characteristics, and above this concentration threshold, it shows repulsion characteristics. The wizards have not yet made a detailed and specific conclusion on the reasons, or perhaps they have already made a conclusion, but Grimm is not qualified to access such witchcraft knowledge.

"Chip, is there any feasible solution to the current problem?"

"Ding, data analysis has been completed. There are two feasible solutions:

Option 1, transplant crystals.

The wizard apprentice's mental power is scattered and lacks the necessary core constraints. Fire crystals can be implanted in the brain by transplanting crystals, thereby reducing the repulsion of fire element particles.

Advantages: It can solve the problem of slow mental power growth and increase the success rate of wizard promotion rituals.

Disadvantages: The externally implanted fire crystals cannot be compared with the element core condensed by itself, which will limit the possibility of subsequent development.

Option 2, mental stimulation.

Directly skip the weak stimulation of element accumulation on the mental space, and instead seek some means of directly stimulating the mental body, so as to reduce the toughness of the mental body to obtain the improvement of the mental upper limit."

Grimm frowned deeply.

Well, limited to the knowledge mastered by the chip, Grimm didn't like any of the two solutions it proposed. Option 1 is simply the worst way to ruin one's future and is only useful for those quasi-witches who have no hope of promotion. Option 2 is also not very reliable. It is not known whether this method can cultivate a wizard, but it is certain to cultivate a psychopath.

Since it is difficult to get started with the crooked way, Grimm can only focus on the origin of wizards.

Mental power!

The reason why human wizards set 21 points as the basic threshold to break through the human limit and become wizards is probably because 20 points is the physical limit that humans can reach!

After crossing this threshold, human wizards are essentially different from ordinary humans and are more like a magical creature. Therefore, the difference in strength between a wizard with 21 points of mental power and a quasi-wizard with 20 points is so huge, probably because the basic data of the body template is completely different!

With the assistance of so many advantageous conditions, Grimm does not need the trial of life and death, and can still achieve a daily mental increase of 0007 points. If other quasi-wizards knew about this, they would definitely be jealous and crazy. But for Grimm, this is still too slow!

Because... because the recent changes of the evil insect Entik made him palpitate!

Originally, I thought that my progress had far surpassed everyone else, and it was only a matter of time before I caught up with and surpassed that Entik. But after encountering Entik in the tower some time ago, Grimm's mind became less certain!

The evil insect Entik changed almost every day, and the huge mental pressure became more and more obvious. According to the chip scan, Entik's mental power is likely to have exceeded half, that is, it has reached more than 2050 points. And he has only been a quasi-witch for half a year!

This shows that the progress of the evil insect Entik's mental power improvement is not inferior to his own.

Of course, this may also be related to Entik's entry and exit of the 5th floor of the swamp tower every three or two days. Judging from the results of the chip scan, the Anderson wizard is very likely to have conducted a blood fusion experiment on Entik. Because the chip actually detected a familiar smell of blood on Entik.

Although the smell of blood is extremely weak, it was still clearly pulled out under the chip's cell-level genetic detection method. What made Grimm even more angry was that the source of this blood factor was most likely to point to Mary.

This meant that the blood sample that Mary submitted to Anderson wizard last time had been used by him on the evil insect Entik. The two bloods fought in Entik's body all day long, which put him on the verge of life and death every day. It was no wonder that his mental strength was growing rapidly every day.

It was impossible to reconcile with the evil insect Entik. What worried Grimm the most was that if Entik reached the peak of quasi-witch before him, something he didn't want to see would happen.

From the data published in the witchcraft books, it can be analyzed that the success rate of wizards in the Sanditalin area is not high. Basically, it is a fluke for two or three of ten quasi-witches to be promoted. In the wizard promotion ceremony, although talent and potential played a big role, luck was more dominant in the success rate of promotion.

Quasi-witches with strong talents do have a higher success rate of promotion than those with weak talents, but it is not 100% after all. Some people with outstanding talents and natural talents may still fail when they are promoted to wizards! And those guys with poor talents, if they are lucky, may also leap to become the master of this world - wizards!

Therefore, in the wizard continent, any quasi-witches are trembling in the wizard promotion ceremony, fearing that they will take a step in the air and become a loser in life. After all, after a promotion ceremony fails, the upper limit of the quasi-witches' mental power will decline significantly, and the possibility of the next promotion will plummet by 50%.

Therefore, except for the favored children of heaven who are particularly concerned by the big families, no wizard family is willing to make new investments in a quasi-witches who have failed once.

And this is what Grimm is most worried about!

If...if that Entik reaches the top of the quasi-wizard first, and he only needs to tell the wizards in charge of the promotion ceremony that he can guarantee 100% promotion success by devouring Mary, then...what will happen?

One is a quasi-wizard who has signed a family wizard contract, and the other is a quasi-wizard who has signed a service contract; one has a 100% promotion success rate, and the other has two equally unknown promotion success rates...

If Anderson wizard intervenes, then Mary's life will be in real danger!

Grimm did not tell Mary about this. In the absence of additional means to break the deadlock, telling this to the impulsive and irritable Mary will be useless. Unless Grimm can catch ten or eight wizard-level monsters in one go and let Mary take a tonic, otherwise he can only rely on himself to break the deadlock.

Grimm looked down at his right hand, and there were two black beetle fragments in his open palm. Through the powerful elemental vision, Grimm could barely see some constantly changing Mastaven from the beetle fragments. One fragment only had the words "Save Me", while the other had the words "Swallow Mary".

These two pieces of beetle fragments did not appear at the same time. The first one crawled in through the window when Grimm was meditating in his residence one night a month ago. A black beetle the size of a fingernail exploded slightly as soon as it crawled onto his wooden table, leaving only this strange shell with words. As for the second one, it just appeared a week ago.

The reason why Grimm deduced that Entik meant to swallow Mary was the clues he got from the words on the shell. Otherwise, no matter how wise he was, he would have found it difficult to guess such a ridiculous thing. chapter;
