Not Necessarily!

Are you ready?

When Li Yao heard Sauron ask that question, he was stunned for a moment, and the voice of a little Tuan Tuan suddenly rang in his mind... almost starting to play a mesmerizing melody.

Looks like I've been spending too much time on Douyin lately...

It's time to quit for two days! Li Yao smiled and nodded, "Ready."

Sauron crouched to the side, his round cat eyes like two stars in the night. "Let's begin."

So Li Yao closed his eyes.

Mental energy spread out and tilted onto the Magic Array Inscriptions on the ground. As mental energy was poured into the array patterns, the array patterns drawn with Magic Potion burned and emitted a bright and clear light. The spreading Hua Dian the magic stone in the Magic Array Inscriptions, and a huge amount of energy rushed into the void, attracting a trace of gray law aura.

After following the same procedure as the previous two times, Li Yao's psychic vision saw a huge and complex array of spiritual light appear in the void, surrounding him!

Once the array patterns, purely inscribed with spiritual energy, had absorbed enough qi, Li Yao directly raised them and incorporated them into his body!

It connected with the Magic Spirit Pool! "Boom!"

The gray aura surged into the Magic Spirit Pool from the interface. The previously harmonized auras of the Transmutation Faction and the Evocation School were twisted together and entangled with the rule aura of the Necromancy School, directly causing chaos in Li Yao's Magic Spirit Pool!

Sweet rain...

An immense pain surged from the depths of my soul, a feeling akin to accidentally bumping my little finger against a wall while walking!

That sudden, excruciating pain was like a bolt from the blue! But Li Yao's current sensation was ten thousand times more agonizing! Li Yao gasped, his whole body trembling! However, his long years of Meditation Technique training hadn't been for nothing; Li Yao was mentally prepared for similar soul-deep pain, so he remained calm in this critical moment! He quickly harmonized the energy within his Magic Spirit Pool according to the chapters of the Meditation Technique! This time, three forces were intertwined, each with different attributes and varying strengths.

Li Yao gritted his teeth and it took him a long time to temporarily stabilize the three streams of energy.

Moreover, this time was significantly different from the last one. The impact was much stronger, and even the Magic Spirit Pool was so badly damaged that its structure became loose and it was on the verge of collapse.

It seems that in addition to harmonizing the energy flow, Li Yao also needs to strengthen his Magic Spirit Pool.

The Magic Spirit Pool is very important to mages; it is the core of Meditation Technique. Even the Meditation Technique chapters in the apprentice stage are just simplified versions of the core of the Magic Spirit Pool.

It is no exaggeration to say that

The Magic Spirit Pool is almost equivalent to the human soul, and it is also the soul of the path of the mage.

No wonder Lin Xiaowei advised him not to advance without supervision. He almost broke his Magic Spirit Pool at only the third specialization; what would he do when he reached the Four Specializations? He could certainly strengthen the Magic Spirit Pool engraved within his soul now.

This reinforcement can even strengthen the structure.

But even a human being, even one who becomes a mage, has limits.

The impact of each specialization upgrade increases exponentially. Who knows what might happen next? Who dares to gamble? In the Main World, mages can have their teachers watch over them and protect their core when they advance in rank.

But Li Yao had nothing.

He has no room for trial and error.

Li Yao collapsed onto his sofa, pale-faced and covered in cold sweat, panting heavily.

Sauron frowned upon seeing this.

Something's not right with this kid! He seems a bit scared. So it asked, "Master, are you alright? What just happened?"

After letting out a long breath, Li Yao told Sauron what had just happened.

After listening for a moment, Sauron said, "I am not a mage, and my advancement process is different from yours. Our authority and abilities as Dark Flame Shadow Demon are, after all, innate."

Li Yao rolled his eyes. What, you want to learn from Yan Hao, the big boss, how to summarize life?

It's simple, just three words: born well.

Sauron, unaware of Li Yao's thoughts, continued, "If you're afraid, don't force yourself. A mage with three specializations is already quite powerful. There's a saying on Earth: 'It's better to master one skill than to learn many!' This applies to mages as well. Several of the mages who were most ferocious in slaying gods back then advanced to legendary status with only one specialization. So, the number of specializations isn't fixed..."

The monster was babbling on and on.

I just wanted to advise Li Yao not to court disaster.

after all,

If Li Yao were to court his own death, he'd still have a go at it! Unless he could erase the mark imprinted on his Life Core before his soul collapsed.

However, Sauron did not believe that the mage could be so noble and great!

Therefore, he had to ensure Li Yao's survival!

However, Li Yao didn't listen to what he said after that; he only listened to the first sentence!

So he tilted his head and called out, "Wait a minute! What did you say?!"

Sauron was taken aback. "I said that the number of specializations doesn't determine a mage's future..."

Li Yao: "That line at the very top!"

Sauron: "..."

He thought for a moment and replied, "If you're afraid..."

Li Yao glared at him. "Let me tell you, I'm not afraid anymore! You and SEI are both in four specialties! You can't be missing a single one, I'm telling you!"

At this moment, Boss Li became incredibly arrogant! Sauron was completely dumbfounded...

You're a dog, aren't you?!

So, you're from Northeast China? When people from the Northeast drink, they never rush you. They just stop you if you can't drink anymore, saying, "If you can't drink anymore, then don't..."

But!

As soon as those words are spoken, the person being advised will lose their temper in no time! They'll be so angry they could gulp you down! They're incredibly ruthless! Sauron couldn't help but say, "I see you're in the provincial capital, which is quite far from that corner of the Northeast, so how come your temper is so similar?"

Li Yao: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked a soul-searching question, "Who gave us these Northeastern accents?"

Sauron: "..."

It also fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, Li Yao waved his hand and said, "Never mind, none of that matters!"

Everyone knows how infectious a Northeastern accent is. Some people even wondered who would have whose accent distorted if you put people from Northeast China, Taiwan, Sichuan, and Guangdong together! This guess has been tested by the wise masses! The Guangdong native is out of the running!

Next up were the Sichuan guys! Finally, Wanwan and the Northeastern buddy were arm-in-arm, eating skewers and drinking beer, their Northeastern dialect flowing like a river! So, Li Yao stopped dwelling on the question and instead asked, "Is there really no solution to this problem?"

Sauron rolled his eyes. "How would I know if you're asking me that?"

We're not magicians!

Sauron was busy rolling his eyes when he suddenly replied as if he had remembered something, "Not necessarily!"

Hope you enjoy watching!
