Of course, Greem was ignorant of these secrets outside his body.
He is now a typical pain and happiness.
He originally thought that he still had plenty of time to develop silently, but what happened today reminded him that the world might not develop as smoothly as he expected.
The too peaceful life before gave him an illusion that his apprenticeship could go on so smoothly forever. But today's thrilling encounter made him understand early on the unreachable deep gap between himself, a junior apprentice, and a senior apprentice.
Looking at the completely different innate abilities of senior apprentices and the witchcraft methods that matched his own innate abilities, Greem felt more and more sluggish and backward.
If he followed the original development trajectory, it might take him three to four years to be promoted to an intermediate apprentice by virtue of his day-to-day meditation and accumulation of witchcraft knowledge. And to become a high-level apprentice, Greem still needs to suffer for ten years in the middle-level apprenticeship. As for becoming a quasi-witch? With Greem's current talent, there is not much hope.
As an apprentice wizard, every bit of spiritual growth is so precious and difficult. The talent is not as good as others, and if you want to improve faster than others, then the only way is to usurp more resources and enough witchcraft knowledge to support it.
Apart from this, there is no other way.
And if you want to improve your witchcraft strength, the first choice is to improve your physical fitness. Any sorcery, whether it is an auxiliary attack or a long-range attack, is always supported by one's own body. Only with perfect physical fitness can witchcraft display its lethality more effectively.
After returning safely from the narrow escape outside the tower, Greem immediately locked himself in his residence and began to think hard.
Based on the development direction of the four wizards summed up by the senior wizards, Greem weighed the pros and cons, combined with his own situation, and silently chose the direction for himself.
Body refining wizard.
To become a body-refining wizard, one must first have an indomitable, strong will like cast iron. Because in order to stimulate and strengthen their bodies, those body-training wizards can do anything.
In order to temper their bodies, some soak themselves in poison pots all day long, such as scorpion venom, snake venom, spider venom, Qijue flowers, nightmare grass, zombie powder... In short, no matter whether it is biological toxins or plant venoms, they use whatever poisons. What. From shallow to deep, from weak to strong, repeatedly stimulate every cell in the body with different types of terrible poisons, forcing his body to release its potential, strengthening his body bit by bit.
Of course, when they do this, they must also do a good job of prevention, accurately calculate and speculate the limit of their own tolerance, so as to avoid poisoning themselves to death.
And with the step-by-step progress of the body refining technique, after passing the primary threshold, with resistance, I am afraid that ordinary poisons in the world will no longer be effective against them. If I want to go one step further in the future, I can only go hard to find those rarer voodoo.
Therefore, as a body-refining wizard, I am afraid that nearly half of the first half of my life will be wasted repeatedly calculating and measuring my endurance and looking for various voodoo that are effective for me.
Of course, in order to strengthen the body, some body-refining wizards will also look for and collect some items with terrifying radiation capabilities, and use the stimulation of radiation to temper the body. There are even some body-refining wizards who will look for some particularly harsh natural environments and use the terrifying power of nature to stimulate their progress.
In short, there are many kinds of things, and as a body-training wizard, he always suffers from all kinds of pain. Only in this way can he obtain a terrifying body that is far superior to ordinary people.
If you want to become a body refining wizard, you first need to obtain a complete set of body tempering methods, and then collect various poisons everywhere to pass the long tempering period. And in the process of tempering the body, one will become very weak, and need better and more refined food to nourish the weak body.
And when the tempering body is a small success, I still need to find some suitable body skills to practice, so that the skyrocketing physique and strength can have greater attack power and attack methods.
Based on the analysis of these basic conditions, Greem still has some repulsion towards becoming a body refining wizard in his heart. Not to mention the difficulty of obtaining the secret technique of body training, I am afraid that even those rare ingredients for body training would be difficult for him to handle. So not surprisingly, the path of body training was directly ruled out by him.
Bloodline wizards, this is obviously also the easiest choice for the wizard group to obtain short-term combat power.
When it comes to the path of a bloodline wizard, one has to mention the most popular creature transformation among wizard apprentices. Only a "little" witchcraft ritual is needed to transplant a high-energy organ of a powerful monster to oneself, so that oneself can have some strange abilities.
It can be said that most apprentice wizards cannot refuse such a simple and easy strengthening method, and as long as conditions permit, they will transform themselves to some extent. But this kind of thing is always easier said than done! Depleting one's own vitality, risking blood contamination, and transplanting a useless garbage organ to oneself is definitely not worth the candle.
What kind of powerful enough monsters can be acquired by wizard apprentices like Greem who live in the magic swamp? With their strength and status, it is impossible to get their hands on those truly terrifying monsters. So the apprentices were overjoyed to be able to transplant themselves a monster organ of senior apprentice level.
Among the three strong tower apprentices, Hawkeye Clutha is said to have transplanted the eyes of a red-eyed crow king, which gave him the ability to drive carrion crows.
However, Greem never cared about his short-sighted behavior.
The Red-Eyed Crow King!
Such a monster's high-energy organ may allow him to ascend to the sky in one step, step into the ranks of senior apprentices, and become the best among the tower apprentices. But at this point, the potential improvement brought about by biological transformation has come to an end. If he is lucky, he may be able to be promoted to a quasi-shaman within five years, preparing for the impact on the official wizard in the future. But if you're unlucky, I'm afraid you won't be an official wizard for the rest of your life.
After all, for individuals with polluted bloodlines, the difficulty of advancing to the rank of wizard will also increase exponentially!
Therefore, compared with bloodline wizards, biological transformation is purely an evil path, which will only become narrower and narrower, cutting off one's own path in disguise.
But compared to biological transformation, the road of blood wizards is doubly difficult.
If you want to become a bloodline wizard, you must find an ancestral creature whose bloodline source is strong enough, and then obtain the power hidden in the bloodline inheritance through a large amount of blood purification.
There are many obstacles to walking this path.
First of all, many powerful bloodlines known so far are controlled by warlock families.
The so-called warlock family, in fact, their predecessors are usually a strong rising blood wizard. As descendants of powerful bloodline owners, of course, their bloodlines also naturally inherited the good genes of their ancestors. In order to maintain the continuation of the family blood, they refused to intermarry with people outside the ethnic group, and kept the family blood pure in a closed circle.
In addition to these known powerful bloodlines, other apprentices who want to follow the path of bloodline wizards can only try their luck to try those unknown monster bloodlines.
If the monster they inherited was only a Tier 3 creature, then under the influence of generational decline, these bloodline inheritors might not even be able to reach Tier 2. If you consider that the bloodline is not pure enough, it would be dangerous to even advance to the first level.
Therefore, if the descendants of those powerful bloodline warlock families are not strong enough, once they leave the house, they will most likely become the best prey in the eyes of others. Some wandering wizard apprentices would never mind capturing them, and squeezed out the blood essence from their bodies, allowing themselves to have the power of some powerful creatures.
However, to do so, on the one hand, it requires a lot of blood from apprentice warlocks, and the success rate is not high. On the other hand, it is also a taboo for the warlock family.
With the powerful strength of these bloodline warlock families, how could it be possible to sit back and watch the bloodlines of their own clan spread out? Even if they pay a heavy and bloody price, they will kill the culprit. Therefore, in the history of the development of wizards in the Wizarding Continent, there was also a huge turmoil caused by the theft of the descendants of a powerful warlock family.
Seriously speaking, the snake-headed apprentice who broke into the magic swamp today is probably also a descendant of a warlock family, otherwise he would not have such distinctive monster characteristics. Unfortunately, Greem didn't have the chance to obtain his blood.
Greem didn't have any regrets about this.
How rich the blood of the ancestors can be in a descendant of a senior apprentice blood warlock. If he wanted to help Greem steadily improve to quasi-shaman, he would need at least a dozen of such descendants to meet the terrifying blood demand.
This kind of difficulty is no less than asking Greem to directly challenge a giant dragon!
Moreover, according to Greem's knowledge from the books, among the bloodline warlock families currently active in the middle of the wizarding continent, the highest level is only level 7. This is a huge gap of 2 levels from the 9th level wizard at the peak of the wizard system.
As bloodline warlocks, they don't need too much practice and accumulation of knowledge, they just need to constantly purify their own bloodline, then they can naturally obtain power from the bloodline of their ancestors.
A successor of the fifth-level bloodline can advance to the next level at a speed ten times and a hundred times faster than others, which allows him to forge ahead in the first half of his life and enjoy unlimited glory. Moreover, warlocks with special bloodlines can also have special abilities, and they have an advantage in fighting against the same level.
But the peak of the source of blood is the end of their wizard road.
After he climbed to the fifth level by virtue of his strength and luck, he would painfully find that the way forward was completely cut off. After his wizard's path reached the fifth level, there was no possibility of advancing.
This is the greatest tragedy of bloodline warlocks!
On this path, once the bloodline is chosen incorrectly, they will never have the hope of climbing the peak of the wizarding system.
