After the minor conflicts of the past few days, Ang's relationships with Gao An, Bonage, Lulugood, and Angeli became much more harmonious. They studied together, discussed the fields each excelled in, and often met in the academy's public areas to go over the contents of the admission guide. Although Ang carried the powerful aura of a warrior, he was still a newcomer to magic. Despite having read many Magic Books and gaining some theoretical understanding of magic, he had never systematically studied its fundamentals or practical application. Therefore, when talking with these new friends, he usually chose to listen quietly, drawing experience and knowledge from their conversations.
Ang was especially moved by some of the things Gao An said. Gao An shared the fundamental principles of magical cultivation, particularly the importance of absorbing elements. He emphasized, "Magical cultivation cannot be rushed, nor can it be practiced without systematic guidance. Every person's mana channels and elemental affinities are different. Proper guidance is crucial, otherwise the consequences could be unimaginable." He continued, "One of the most common mistakes in magical cultivation is blindly absorbing elements into the body. Everyone has different elemental affinities. Some people are more sensitive to fire elements, while others are closer to water elements. If you recklessly absorb all kinds of elements without strict selection and guidance, the mana within your body may become impure and mixed. Not only will that weaken the power of your magic, but in more serious cases, it can trigger internal elemental conflicts, causing energy to spiral out of control and even leading to death by explosion."
Hearing this, Ang gained a deeper understanding of magic's complexity and dangers. Although he had read quite a few books on magic before, most of them offered theoretical descriptions and lacked practical warnings or specific examples.
