How to Make a Mage Understand Artistic Conception

'What is fire? Fire is a vigorous oxidation reaction that occurs during the combustion of matter, and its energy is released in the form of light and heat, and a large amount of byproducts are also produced. The visible part of fire is called flame, which can have different shapes with the vibration of particles, and can exist as plasma when the temperature is high enough.'

'No no, this is not what I should be thinking about.'

'Fire spells are created by mages in their minds, thereby controlling fire elemental particles, and then using the mage's mana to change the material world.'

'What exactly do I need to comprehend?'

In the flames, Chen Yi sat naked.

Heaven knows why Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's fire could directly burn the durability of equipment to 0, with no way to repair it.

It wasn't that he disliked expensive equipment, it was mainly because he felt it would bring him closer to the flames.

This was already Chen Yi's fourth day in the flames.

Every day, he summoned Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni for an hour. While the latter trained the Fire Dragon, he controlled the flame temperature to prevent Chen Yi from being instantly incinerated into ashes.

But even so, Chen Yi had no direction within the flames. He didn't know what he should comprehend.

Neither the scientific description of fire nor understanding fire from a mage's perspective brought any progress.

"Chen Yi Kid, stop. Continuing like this will be of no use."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni retracted Ryujin Jakka, and the flames around Chen Yi disappeared.

Chen Yi quickly put on his equipment and habitually gulped down a bottle of healing potion.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stroked his long beard. "Perhaps my method is not suitable for you. If you were a Shinigami, I would have other methods for you to try, but you are not."

"You should probably think carefully..."

After speaking, he ignored Chen Yi and earnestly began teaching the Fire Dragon.

Chen Yi knew that what Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said was the truth. Continuing like this would only be a waste of Copper Coins.

He suddenly understood why there were no records of "artistic conception" in the mage biographies he had seen.

In the eyes of mages, everything had its rules.

Various spells that seemed unscientific had their own rules.

So the question arose.

Why would a randomly ignited flame contain an artistic conception that even the mage himself did not understand?

Clearly, the mage knew why this flame appeared, how it was formed, and how long it could burn.

To increase the flame's temperature, shouldn't one increase the Intelligence attribute to expand control over fire elemental particles, or change the structure to increase mana output, or perhaps create a larger explosion?

Is it because I'm thinking too much that I can't comprehend what Intent is?

Chen Yi's thoughts stirred, and he summoned the initial interface of the Training Mode.

Keywords entered: Mage, Fire Intent, Comprehension.

However, the Game World displayed that there were no such Strong Projections.

"Calm down! Think if there are any other methods."

Chen Yi began to meditate on the spot, emptying his thoughts.

Half an hour later, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had already disappeared from space, and the Fire Dragon persisted in its training.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes. He suddenly thought of someone.

A person whose way of thinking leaned towards a Mage, whose energy system was close to a Mage, and who mastered techniques similar to Intent.

Keywords entered: Ninja, Orochimaru.

That's right, Chen Yi directly named him.

1500 Copper Coins/hour.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Soon, the projection began. The scattered hair did not carry the insignia of a ninja village.

His slender eyes, combined with his vertical pupils, gave the impression that what was in front of him was not a human, but a snake!

Damp! Cold! Ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment!

Judging by his age, this should be the timeline after he fled Konoha Village.

After Orochimaru opened his eyes, his first concern was not who Chen Yi was.

Instead, he was curious about the existence that summoned him. He couldn't imagine that such an existence truly existed in the world. He wondered who was stronger between him and the Six Paths Sage.

His tongue, like a snake's, licked his lips: "Speak, what do you want me to do."

Chen Yi briefly described the predicament he had encountered.

Orochimaru's interest grew. So, besides Chakra and Natural Energy, there were other methods of cultivation in the world.

He really wanted to research the differences.

Chen Yi was no stranger to this look; he was similar when he researched spells.

"Orochimaru, your time is limited. I cannot give you time to understand Mages, and you cannot take the memories from here back to your main body."

"But I can promise you, if I have the chance to go to your world, I will offer you some help."

Orochimaru thought of many things in an instant. What did he mean by "his world"? The reason why memories couldn't be brought back. This person seems to know me.

Although his brain was working furiously, Orochimaru's expression didn't change: "Hehehe, I accept your condition. You don't have to do this, I must help you."

Chen Yi's expression remained unchanged: "Sincerely offering help and being perfunctory are two different things."

"I know you want to study magic power. This seems to be a common problem for mages and certain people. They want to experiment with the unknown."

"Coincidentally, I am a mage."

Orochimaru's interest grew even stronger. He could feel that he and this guy should get along well.

His tongue involuntarily extended, as if tasting the air like a snake.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment: "The problem you mentioned is somewhat similar to Chakra Nature Transformation."

"You know about Chakra, so I won't explain further. Each ninja has different Chakra natures, which are divided into Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Wind."

"Chakra Nature Transformation is actually about imbuing Chakra with an element."

"I'm not very good at this myself. The one who is best at it is that idiot."

Chen Yi was not surprised by this. Just like with mages, thinking too much makes it harder to grasp the essence.

Noticing that Chen Yi could understand him, Orochimaru was very pleased. He didn't like talking to idiots.

"Everyone's understanding of elements is different."

"For example, when thinking of Water, the Second Hokage's understanding was sharpness, but some ninjas' understanding is the Impact Force of Waves."

"By changing Chakra based on one's understanding of Water, one can then release ninjutsu."

"This process of changing Chakra is Chakra Nature Transformation."

With this explanation, Chen Yi seemed to understand. It wasn't about changing his perception of fire, but about incorporating his understanding of fire into his magic power.

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he began to experiment. Chen Yi waved his staff, and two small mounds of earth slowly appeared on the ground.

"Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The first fireball left a small circular pit on the mound, with white smoke slowly rising from it.

The second fireball, infused with Nature Transformation, directly burrowed into the mound, leaving a deeper and larger pit.

"This is the result of adding Nature Transformation. Chakra Nature Transformation greatly enhances a ninja's strength, but mastering it is also somewhat difficult. Usually, only Jonin consider training in this area."

"Well~ I hope what I know is helpful to you."
