Danger and Reward Coexist

Body tempering is not an easy task.

Or, to put it another way, there aren't that many things in this world that are easy to do.

Saine had previously thought that the Knight of the Wizard World lived very comfortably, at least on the surface.

But after undergoing the body tempering process, Saine knew that the Knight must also have a side of hardship and sweat that ordinary Mage did not know.

For many Knight, it wasn't just sweating; sometimes, it was bleeding.

At least in terms of body tempering, the Knight of the Wizard World must have endured far more hardship and spent far more time than Saine.

When Saine embarked on the path of Elemental Body Tempering, he inevitably took many shortcuts.

First of all, he couldn't possibly spend as much time as the Knight training his body; he simply didn't have the time.

Secondly, the intensity requirements for Saine's passive physical evolution are not as stringent as those for Knight of the same level.

Saine doesn't make a living with his body; he mainly relies on his brain.

The Body Tempering Experiment, designed and executed by Saine himself, involved much more professional knowledge that Spellcaster would possess compared to the body tempering process of ordinary Knight in the Wizard World.

It was also thanks to Saine's relatively good understanding of human anatomy.

Otherwise, even if it were another senior brother or sister from the Azure Blaze Sect, although they also had some knowledge of the Azure Fire Body Tempering Mysteries, it is estimated that most people would not have thought of Saine's body tempering method.

Conducting Body Tempering Experiment in the laboratory is painful and agonizing. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

Using one's own body for experiments is certainly not something to be admired.

Many Mage are extremely cautious when experimenting on themselves.

Because experiments always involve risks, and Mage are rational people, under normal circumstances, no one would joke about their own lives.

Only a young Mage with a resolute mind and a ruthless streak like Saine would dare to experiment on his own body.

Of course, more importantly, before lying on the Laboratory Table, Saine had thought things through and believed that the cost was within his acceptable range.

High risk means high reward.

Saine wanted to travel to the Western Islands as soon as possible. In the cruel land of the Black Domain, where Black Magician roamed, how could he do it without sufficient strength?

From the first to the seventh Body Tempering Experiment, problems of varying degrees arose. These problems were generally minor, except for one instance where the cost was somewhat higher: during the fourth experiment, the giant experimental equipment burned a small bloody hole in Saine's shoulder.

The experiment went wrong and terrified Serena. After that, she refused to help Saine with such "dangerous experiments" no matter what.

Fortunately, Irene returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower in time and took over Serena's work.

As Level-1 Magician, Irene possesses higher Mental Strength and more precise control over subtle operations.

Furthermore, the wisdom of Level-1 Magician would allow Irene to discuss with Saine during the experiment, thus improving its feasibility.

Sure enough, after Irene took over the Body Tempering Experiment for the fifth time, the subsequent experiments went more and more smoothly.

By the time the eighth Body Tempering Experiment began, there were almost no major problems on the surface. All the data and Saine's physical feedback indicated the feasibility of this passive evolution plan.

In the laboratory.

The enormous roar of the experimental equipment gradually subsided, and the huge conical experimental apparatus above the giant laboratory slowly rose, while the liquid in the tank next to it, filled with special solvents, was almost completely consumed.

After recording the relevant experimental logs with the Crystal Ball, today's Body Tempering Experiment was temporarily concluded.

The air was filled with a rather pungent smell, mixed with a faint odor of blood.

The smell was indeed unpleasant, and Irene's research and analysis revealed that the special solvents used by Saine in his body tempering seemed to be harmful to human cells.

Even "Azure Glaze," which has been designated as Level-2 Strategic Resource by the Azure Flame Holy Tower, is not very compatible with the flesh and blood of humans in the Wizard World.

It's just that because Saine has mastered the Azure Fire Magic, he has more resistance to the harmful substances in the Azure Glaze.

But harmful substances are still harmful substances. When Saine chose this extremely risky and subtly harmful method to enhance his strength, Irene's face was full of solemnity and incomprehension.

"I just don't understand you. Why do you have to improve yourself in such a dangerous way?"

"Were you working this hard during your apprenticeship?" Irene asked, walking up to Saine at the Laboratory Table after roughly tidying up the experimental equipment.

Saine was still naked at this point, but since they were an old married couple, Saine didn't seem embarrassed.

Some distinctive marks from the experiments appeared on Saine's body, resembling scars but not quite. Besides the significant improvement in Saine's physical attributes over the past dozen or so experiments, his elemental Elemental Affinity had also greatly increased.

Taking a deep breath, and as the pain on his body gradually subsided, Saine sat up and picked up a loose black Magic Robe from the side and put it on.

Saine did not answer Irene's question immediately.

He is indeed different from ordinary Mage; such a desperate approach is something few madmen would do.

In fact, Mage in the Wizard World are often criticized as "madmen" by Alien Plane beings due to their eccentric personalities and their tendency to dissect and study other creatures.

Saine is nothing but a madman among madmen.

"I'm just used to it, and the experimental results have proven that this method of body tempering is feasible," Saine replied.

"Is it feasible? To exchange decades, or even hundreds, of lifespan for a temporary increase in strength?" Irene asked, frowning. She clearly did not agree with Saine's point of view.

"No one lives forever. The theoretical lifespan of Level-1 Magician is one thousand years, but many Mage die before they even reach that age," Saine said casually.

Saine's words immediately silenced Irene.

She thought of her friends, and also of the Level-1 Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower who had perished on the battlefield of the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

Many of them had only recently been promoted to the next level, and in terms of lifespan, they certainly had plenty of time to squander in the future.

But the reality was that they died in the Poison Fire Green Flame World. Perhaps only their bodies and ashes were brought back, or perhaps even the ashes were gone.

Why did they perish there? Besides extremely bad luck, the fundamental reason was their lack of strength.

The war in the Poison Fire Green Flame World is not a particularly arduous or protracted battle.

Due to the strength of the participating Wizard Civilization Legion, the war was almost a smooth and easy advance, and ultimately ended without incident.

There were just some unexpected events and setbacks in the middle stage.

The vast majority of Wizard World perished in the Poison Fire Green Flame World were Mage participating in the Plane War for the first time.

They lack experience and are not capable enough.

On the contrary, the loss rate of veteran level one and above Mage was less than 5%, which actually tells a lot.
