Upton asked, "Is there something wrong with the content recorded in this book?"
He was still a little complicated when he asked this question, because Claire also shouted that he could practice if he had nothing to do. If there is really a problem, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. Ever since Claire came here, he has been very satisfied with this kind of life. He feels that there are many differences between Claire and the previous Martin.
Horna shook his head 360 degrees. Ever since he turned into an owl, he couldn't resist but could only enjoy it. Now he is actually enjoying it.
"There is nothing wrong with the content recorded on it. In fact, it is very good. It is better than what I originally perfected..." Horna did not say anything at the end, that is, it was not as good as the Cultivation Method he had seen from Claire before, which was Martin's book.
The content recorded here is between the two Cultivation Method, but after all, it has made great progress compared to the current Cultivation Method.
Upton scratched his head, "Since there is no problem, why did you say that just now?"
Horna chuckled lightly, spread the book in front of him with his wings, and said, "What improvements has this Cultivation Method made compared to the current Cultivation Method?"
Upton frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "There has not been much progress in other aspects, but there has been pioneering progress in the use of mental power to perform witchcraft..."
It can be summarized as, because of the previous Wizard World war, many inheritances were destroyed, so they have developed to the point where they do not have the methods and skills to consume spiritual energy to perform wizards, so they have developed the path of consuming vitality to perform witchcraft. To put it simply, they release skills by consuming their health bar.
This is also the reason why the wizards in this world are so weak in mental power that they can't even see the first and second level illusions performed by Claire. If they don't use them often, they will naturally not be proficient in this aspect. Wasn't that how Horna was kneaded into a ball by Claire?
But now Claire has added a "plug-in" to the content of the book, which fills in the skills and methods of using mental power to release witchcraft.
To put it simply, Claire makes the blue bars of wizards usable, and they no longer need to consume life force to perform witchcraft in the future.
Just this point has already thrown away the perfect Cultivation Method that Horna had previously researched. The path that Horna took before was still going on the wrong path before, but it only greatly reduced the vitality consumed when performing witchcraft.
"Correct answer!" Horna wanted to snap his fingers, but found that he had no fingers and had to give up the idea.
Then he continued excitedly, "Did you find any problems when I mentioned this?"
Upton looked confused and hesitated. "Is there any problem with this? I think it's good." Upton admitted that his jaw dropped when he saw the content above.
Horna burst out laughing, "I didn't even notice this. You are indeed an idiot."
Upton's face turned dark, and he raised his hand to teach the "owl" who deserved a beating. When Horna saw it, he also fluttered his wings and flew away from the desk.
"Hey, you really don't take teasing."
"Hurry up."
"Okay, okay! Just say it." Horna fluttered its wings and landed on Upton's head. In order to hear the follow-up content, Upton did not pull him down this time.
Then Horna said enigmatically, "Although the above provides techniques for using mental power to cast spells, didn't you notice? There is no method for cultivating mental power at all!"
Upton's eyes lit up. He had copied the book more than 30 times, and he had memorized the contents in it. But after thinking about it in his mind, it turned out that it did not give any method for cultivating spiritual power. However, he was still a little confused and continued to ask, "Is there any problem with this?"
"Problem? What a big problem!" Horna smacked his lips. He had seen Martin's perfect cultivation book, which clearly recorded how to cultivate and strengthen one's spiritual power. However, there is no content in this book, which can only mean that Claire deleted that part.
Horna continued, "Although we used vitality rather than mental power when casting spells before, it does not mean that mental power is not important to us. The most obvious outer layer of the mental power possessed by a wizard is his mental state. If his mental power is consumed too much, he will become trance-like, lose concentration, reason will be worn away, and wildness will become difficult to control."
Upton nodded. He knew all the things Horna said, but he still couldn't connect them.
Horna laughed and said, "You still don't understand after all the talk! You are indeed an idiot."
Upton took a deep breath and suppressed his urge to beat Horna. He had almost heard the end, so he might as well endure it.
"Please be more detailed."
"Don't you understand yet? There is no way to cultivate mental power, and the current wizard system has completely shifted to the stage of using mental power to cast spells. During this transformation stage, there will be very painful experiences and lessons."
"Do you think using mental power to cast spells will be safer than using life force to cast spells before? Just like the two wizards used mental power to cast spells during the battle, when the mental power drops to a certain level, reason will also dissipate. What will happen then?"
Upton replied, "The disappearance of sanity... it means that the more angry you are, the more angry you will be. The battle cannot stop until one party dies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Upton took a breath of cold air. He knew what the battle between wizards was like. Because the life force was consumed, so wizards were extremely cautious in starting wars and would not take action unless necessary.
With this new training system, the battle between wizards will not be as constrained as before. Anyway, it is not your own vitality that is consumed. Although there is a little less spiritual power, you can recover after it is consumed. Start fighting first, and then run away when you can't beat him. Anyway, the cost of losing is not as high as when you consumed your life force before. If you don't lose, it is equivalent to making a profit!
But things tend to backfire. Once the battle starts, the ever-changing situation will not follow their wishes. Even if his mental power has dropped to a certain stage and he doesn't want to fight, the opponent's mental power is still abundant and refuses to let him go, so the fight cannot stop. In other words, he still has enough mental power, but the opponent's mental power has bottomed out and he has become an irrational beast. It is impossible for him to stop fighting because the opponent is staring at him and will not let him go.
When the mental power is gone, it will become the previous way of consuming life force. Coupled with the loss of sanity, the best outcome of the battle is that there can only be two kinds. The unluckier two sides will perish together, and the better one will survive. However, that side is not much better, and the life force will definitely be almost exhausted.
Horna laughed sinisterly again, "Look at these books. He asked you to write them and spread them out. He was afraid that those epic wizards would not be willing to spread them out so quickly. He wanted to mess up the whole Wizard World. Tsk tsk tsk, what a big deal!"
Upton also looked at the books he copied. He originally thought he was just doing some paperwork. Damn it, now it seems like he was involved in something big. But it's really exciting!
"Wait a minute! I have another question!" Upton raised his hand.
"Ask!"
"Then if I practice but use it as a trump card, will that solve this problem?"
Hearing Upton's words, Horna burst out laughing, "You are so naive! You are using it as a trump card, it's a shame you can think of it!"
"Let me ask you, if you have an enemy, and they come to you to seek revenge, they use witchcraft that consumes your mental power. You use witchcraft that consumes your life force to resist. They beat you and run away after using up most of your mental power. When your mental power recovers, they come back to fight you. With your vitality, how many times can you hold on?"
"Once this thing spreads, it will become a common technique for every wizard. If you use it as a trump card, are you going to laugh others to death?"
Upton came over in a daze and murmured, "So even if it is discovered that this is a conspiracy, you still have to jump in. This is a conspiracy. Master Antonio is really awesome."
Hearing Upton mention Claire, Horna's mind flashed back to Claire's smiling expression. His body couldn't help but tremble, and the smile on his face disappeared. He thought to himself, "What on earth does this guy want to do by setting this up?"
