three months later.
When Greem woke up from the long meditation again, he couldn't help showing a trace of sadness on his face.
"Chip, how efficient is my meditation this time?"
"According to the statistics... mental power has increased by 0.007. To reach the peak state of 20 points, it is estimated that it will take 139 days according to the current progress."
The muscles at the corner of Greem's mouth twitched.
He is now a body of flames, and he has also used the authority of the high tower to build himself a residence rich in fire elements, and his daily staple food is all magic food that is helpful to the body and spirit, plus Getting angry and drilling pillows, and deep sea flowers (helpful for meditation), the progress in a day is only 0.007 points. This made Greem, whose meditation effect reached 0.05 points before, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ever since he became a quasi-witch, Greem discovered that basic meditation and witchcraft studies had no obvious effect on the growth of spiritual power. For example, with the assistance of a chip, he can detect the growth rate of his mental power in detail every day. And those quasi-sorcerers who don't have this kind of means, their efficiency is ten times weaker than their own, how can they survive this particularly difficult and painful period
Greem closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and then he realized something.
It seems that those quasi-shamans seldom stayed in their residences to meditate and accumulate, but mostly ran around, trying hard to hone themselves through mission trials. In the past, Greem always thought that they did this for the sake of resources. Now it seems that it is not because of the slow growth of mental power that they want to stimulate a substantial increase in mental strength by wandering on the edge of life and death.
This might not be a way!
"Chip, you have analyzed it for so long, have you analyzed the reason for the slow growth of mental power?"
"Drip, the task model has been completed. The analysis results show that the main task of the human apprenticeship period is to strive to increase the energy concentration of the elements in the body, so as to strive for quantitative changes to cause qualitative changes, so as to become magical creatures-wizards in one fell swoop.
After entering the quasi-shaman stage, the slow growth of mental power is because the accumulation of elemental energy has almost reached the bottleneck. Due to the lack of 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 the greatly weakened energy accumulation efficiency in the later stage. "
Same-sex attraction and common repulsion of elemental energy
This is also some basic theory of elemental witchcraft that the senior wizards have already summed up. To put it simply, among all the element particles, the element particles of the same attribute are more likely to gather together, thus forming the homogeneity of the spatial region. Wizards call this phenomenon same-sex attraction!
However, this kind of aggregation also has certain limitations. Once the concentration threshold is reached or exceeded, wizards will find that it will become extremely difficult to aggregate element particles of the same attribute. It seems that there is still great repulsion between these same-sex particles, refusing to get too close. Therefore, some wizards call it common exclusion.
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 point, it exhibits attractive characteristics, and above this concentration threshold point, it exhibits repulsive characteristics. The reasons for this have not been determined in detail by the wizards, or they have already been concluded, but Greem is not qualified to have access to such witchcraft knowledge.
"Chip, is there any feasible solution to the current problem?"
"Drip, the data analysis has been completed. There are two possible options:
Option one, crystal transplantation.
The wizard apprentice's mental power is scattered and lacks the necessary core constraints. Fire system crystals can be implanted in the brain by transplanting crystals, thereby weakening the repellency of fire element particles.
Advantages: It can solve the problem of slow growth of spiritual power, and can increase the success rate of advancing to the wizard ceremony.
Disadvantages: The fire-type crystals implanted from outside cannot be compared with the elemental core condensed by itself, which will limit the possibility of subsequent development.
Option two, mental stimulation.
Directly bypassing the weak stimulation of the mental space by elemental accumulation, instead seek some means of directly stimulating the mental body, and obtain the improvement of the upper limit of the mental body by reducing the resilience of the mental body. "
Greem frowned deeply.
Uh, limited by the knowledge of the chip, Greem doesn't like any of the two solutions it proposes. Plan 1 is simply the worst way to lose everything and ruin your future. It is only useful for those prospective witches who have no hope of advancing. Option 2 is also unreliable. I don't know if wizards can be cultivated with this method, but it is safe to cultivate neuropathy.
Since crooked methods are difficult to obtain, Greem can only focus on the origin of the wizard.
Mental strength!
The reason why human wizards set 21 points as the basic threshold to break through the human limit and become a wizard is probably because 20 points is already the physical limit that humans can achieve!
After crossing this threshold, human wizards are fundamentally different from ordinary humans, more similar to a magical creature. So there is such a huge difference in strength between a wizard with 21 points of mental power and a quasi-shaman with 20 points of mental power, probably because the basic data of the body template are completely different!
With the help of so many advantages, Greem can still achieve a daily spiritual increase of 0.007 points without the need for life and death trials. If other quasi-witches find out, they will definitely go crazy with jealousy. But for Greem, this is still too slow!
Because... because of the recent changes of that evil bug Entik made him palpitate!
Originally thought that his progress was far ahead of everyone else, and it would be a matter of time before he caught up with and surpassed that Entik. But after meeting Entik in the tower a while ago, Greem's mind became less certain!
That evil bug Entik changed almost every day, and the huge mental coercion became more and more obvious. According to the chip scan, it is very likely that Entik's mental power has exceeded half, that is, it has reached more than 20.50 points. And it only took half a year for him to become a quasi-witch!
This shows that the progress of the evil bug Entik's spiritual power is not weaker than his own.
Of course, this may also have something to do with Entik's access to the fifth floor of the Swamp Tower every three or two days. Judging from the scan results of the chip, that wizard Anderson most likely conducted a blood fusion experiment on Entik. Because the chip actually detected a familiar smell of blood on Entik.
Although the smell of this blood was extremely weak, it was still picked out in every detail under the chip cell-level genetic testing method. What made Greem even more angry was that the source of this blood factor most likely pointed to Mary.
This shows that the blood sample that Mary submitted to Wizard Anderson last time has been applied to the evil bug Entik by him. The two bloodlines fight back and forth in Entik's body all day long, which puts him on the verge of life and death every day, so it's no wonder that his mental power is growing rapidly every day.
Reconciliation with the evil bug Entik is out of the question. But what worries Greem the most is that if Entik arrives at the Quasi-Witch Peak one step ahead of him, something that he doesn't want to see will most likely happen.
From the data published in the witchcraft books, it can be seen that the success rate of wizards in the Sandi Tallinn area is not high. Basically, it is a fluke for ten quasi-shamans to have two or three advanced wizards. In the promotion ceremony of the wizard, although talent potential played a big role, luck is more dominant in the success rate of promotion.
The quasi-sorcerer with strong talent does have a higher success rate of promotion than the quasi-sorcerer with weak talent, but it is not 100% after all. Some people with outstanding talents have the talents of the sky, but there is still the possibility of failure when they advance to the rank of wizard! And those guys with low talents, if they are lucky, they may also become the masters of this world in one fell swoop—wizards!
Therefore, in the Wizarding Continent, any quasi-shaman is trembling in the ceremony of advancing to the rank of wizard, lest he miss one step and become a loser in life from then on. After all, after a promotion ceremony fails, the upper limit of the quasi-shaman's spiritual power will decline a lot, and the possibility of the next promotion will plummet by 50%.
Therefore, except for the favored sons of heaven who are particularly concerned by the big families, no wizard family is willing to make new investments in a quasi-wizard who has failed once.
And this is what Greem is most worried about!
If... if that Entik reached the peak of the quasi-witch 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-shaman who has signed a family wizard contract, the other is a quasi-shaman who has signed a service contract; one is a 100% promotion success rate, and the other is two equally unknown promotion success rates...
If Wizard Anderson gets involved, Mary's life will be really in danger!
Greem didn't tell Mary about this. Telling this to impulsive and irritable Mary doesn't help when there is no additional means to break the situation. Unless Greem can catch ten or eight wizard-level monsters in one go and let Mary make up for it, otherwise he can only rely on himself to break the situation.
Greem looked down at his right hand, and there were 2 black beetle fragments in his open palm. Through powerful elemental vision, Greem could barely see some constantly changing Mastaven from the fragments of the beetle. One fragment has only the words "Help me" on it, while the other has the words "Swallow Mary".
The two beetle fragments did not appear at the same time. The first one was one night a month ago, when Greem was meditating in his residence, he climbed in through the window. A black beetle the size of a fingernail blew itself up slightly as soon as it climbed onto his wooden table, leaving only this strange carapace with words on it. As for the second one, it just appeared a week ago.
The reason why Greem deduced that Entik meant to devour Mary was because of the clues he obtained from the carapace script, otherwise he would have been hard-witted to guess such a nonsense thing.
