Battle Aura? Magic Power? A Great Mix

Want it here, right now!?

The technique of converting battle aura into magical power and then casting spells has been revealed!

You Fei, who had just overheard this, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Is this something that can be announced to the public so easily? Wasn't it said that it wasn't successfully researched and was only a semi-finished product?

"What did he just say? Convert battle aura into magic power?"

"That's a lie, there's no way such technology could exist in the world."

"But that outfit of his, isn't it something Court Magician would wear? All the current Court Magician are disciples of the Sage, which means he is one too?"

Facing the murmuring crowd, Aide Jia's expression remained unchanged; instead, a hint of arrogance and disdain flickered in his eyes as he spoke:

"The obscure and ancient Weapon Skill are no longer suitable for the current Warrior Country. Admittedly, people of middle age and older still have a slightly higher ability to learn Weapon Skill, but what about the young people?"

"The young people's talent for learning Weapon Skill is already almost on par with other countries on average. If they can't even pass on their Weapon Skill, what kind of Warrior Country is this? What's the point of rigidly adhering to dogma?"

"Young people are the seeds of the future. Moreover, the magical talents of newborns are getting stronger and stronger. There are even newborns whose talents are approaching those of the professors of the Magic Association. What reason do we have to insist on Weapon Skill? Magic is the future of this country!"

The audience reacted in various ways to his speech.

Most of the young people showed expressions of agreement, but those who were slightly older, whose Weapon Skill and talents still existed—or rather, whose talents had declined less than those of the previous generation—had a variety of reactions.

"Saying that magic is the future, what does he take us, who are working so hard to practice our Weapon Skill, for?"

"I don't have much talent for magic. Does that mean I'm going to be abandoned by the future?"

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Is magic capable of bearing the future of so many people?!"

This statement immediately resonated with the older generation, who echoed it in unison.

Aide Jia, as if he had memorized his speech, smiled with an air of absolute confidence and declared loudly:

"Yes, absolutely! With Master Yuenka's superb skills!"

"What? This is clearly a plant!" You Fei was speechless, having watched everything clearly from the sidelines.

Aide Jia began to speak loudly and passionately about the so-called technology of "converting battle aura into magic power." It was quite unusual for him to be like this, as he had always presented himself as a gloomy, manic research fanatic and the type who was unwilling to show his face in public.

He's really gone all out this time to promote his teacher's magic.

"This technology was developed specifically for our citizens. Only citizens of Warrior Country can use it because our fighting spirit is different from that of other countries in terms of quality and characteristics. No matter how much research we do, our fighting spirit is superior to others in every aspect, and our physique is also far stronger than others. This is the premise that Master Yuenka was able to successfully develop the technology."

If Gong Qiying were here, he might complain about how this guy started promoting racial superiority theories without even a word.

"Those of you here have all, to some extent, come into contact with and learned magic modified by masters, right? Those spells already contained a 'backdoor' for converting battle aura into magical power. As long as you follow the method I give you to operate the magic, I believe you will be able to personally experience this exquisite technique. Let's take the simplest [Ignition] spell as an example."

He began to rattle off a bunch of instructions on how to use the "ignition" spell, which was completely obscure language that ordinary people couldn't understand at all, but was quite simple vocabulary for those who had even a little exposure to magic.

[Ignition] This kind of magic, which ignites a tiny flame on the fingertip, is not even considered low-level; at best, it's a skill that children play with.

Some people in the crowd followed Aide Jia's instructions, and then gasps of surprise rang out.

"It really did succeed!"

"My battle aura is transforming into magic?"

"Wait, my head hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

Suddenly, someone let out a bloodcurdling scream, and the flames that had just been released were instantly extinguished.

"Oh dear, please do not follow this procedure for now, as this technology still has flaws, and some individuals may experience various negative effects when using it."

Aide Jia said, shaking his finger.

"Then what were you so confidently saying here? Who would dare use something with such negative effects!" The person who had just shouted was now stirring things up again, and Aide Jia, as if he had been prepared, gave a reply.

However, before giving his formulaic answer, he made a statement that reflected his own personality.

"I wasn't teaching anyone to imitate my actions; I was simply demonstrating. Ultimately, the reason for this outcome is..."

Seeing that some people in the crowd looked angry, he immediately realized his slip of the tongue and corrected himself before saying what he was about to say.

Damn it, I have to be nice to these ignorant fools. Ugh, what a hassle.

He put on a professional smile, took something from the person next to him, and showed it to them:

"Master Yuenka has naturally made corresponding efforts to address the issues related to negative effects."

He held the object in his hand high, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

It was a bracelet-like object, which looked like an ordinary iron ring, but it was surrounded by a faint magical fluctuation.

"We named this magical item the 'Reform Ring' because it was developed to address its flaws. When worn, it reduces the probability of malfunctions when the wearer converts battle aura into magic power. Even if an accident does occur, it can greatly reduce the negative effects."

"Oh, this is the real good stuff! Now I can use magic too!"

The guy who had started the commotion earlier carefully changed his position in the crowd before continuing to shout loudly.

Thanks to his shout, the onlookers finally reacted.

The people who had been furious moments before now smiled, and Aide Jia seized the opportunity to say:

"Currently, both the technology and the Reform Ring are in the trial stage, but they undoubtedly already have considerable versatility. In order to support the masters and the people, our beloved His Majesty the King has decided to provide national subsidies for the Reform Ring, and all buyers will receive a very favorable price!"

"Let us all work together for a bright future for our nation and for magic!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The streets were bursting with joy, and the public's enthusiasm was incredibly high.

Suddenly someone bumped into You Fei's shoulder, bringing her back to her senses. She looked around and exclaimed in surprise:

"When did so many people arrive?"

She then realized that a large crowd had gathered around her, all there to hear Aide Jia speak. The scene was as grand as the congregation of the Holy Light Church listening to the bishop's sermon.

This scale is unprecedented in Black Rock City!

It seems that Aide Jia and his team are going to use their real skills to fight against the series of effects brought about by the Zane Dungeon. You Fei immediately realized why the other side was in such a hurry to release the still imperfect technology. If they didn't make some noise, the dungeon might steal their people away!

"The scale of this operation looks quite impressive."

Looking at the extraordinary scene of crowds before her, she couldn't help but recall her father Jia Paer's assessment of Sain:

"If any force wants to unilaterally oppose the Zane Dungeon, then that dungeon has never lost to anyone. I have never even seen the Zane Dungeon show any signs of weakness. It must be invincible."

When Jia Paer said those words, his face was full of trust in the Zane Dungeon, as if it could win even if the whole world opposed it.

But looking at the crowd cheering over the aura conversion technology, You Fei couldn't help but feel worried, muttering to herself:

"Can Sion and Glory really beat them this time?"
