The book in his hand wasn't thick, only a few dozen pages, but Leo studied and flipped through it repeatedly. If he were still on Earth, he definitely wouldn't understand this knowledge.
But now, a level-two brain is comparable to a small computer, and these profound knowledge can be learned as long as one is willing to spend some time.
Of course, the knowledge they have learned is only part of the theoretical knowledge. Although the world's top scientists have superb and advanced ideas, their inability to intervene in the energy world is still their biggest shortcoming. This is why their theories are only a part of a larger overall theory.
To turn this theoretical knowledge into practical results, the first step is to complete the theoretical framework, and then transform it into actual combat power. There is still a very long way to go.
"General relativity states that matter and energy cause spacetime to curve, and objects move along this curved spacetime, which explains the origin of gravity."
Special relativity also states that a moving clock runs slower than a stationary clock, and the speed of motion at the surface of a celestial body is faster than that at the outer edges. Therefore, time passes more slowly the closer one is to the surface of a celestial body, meaning that lifespan is longer!
Leo laughed. It really was a theory that defied common sense, but it seemed to make more sense when applied to wizards.
To give a simple example,
Because higher-level wizards have longer lifespans, but what exactly constitutes a high-level wizard?
High-level wizards must possess far more terrifying energy than low-level wizards; a high-level wizard is more like a highly concentrated aggregate of energy.
If we consider high-level wizards as celestial bodies with exceptionally large masses, then according to special relativity, the higher the total amount of energy a wizard possesses, the slower time passes, and naturally, the longer their lifespan will be.
High-level wizards can warp spacetime around themselves, causing time to slow down.
"Thinking about it this way, it seems like the other aspects can be understood."
Leo suddenly realized why the world seen by high-level wizards was completely different from that seen by low-level wizards.
It's because he possesses a higher level and more pronounced spacetime curvature, making time slow down.
In the same spacetime, the duration of time at a higher level will be longer than that at a lower level.
Therefore, the same scene would naturally be clearer to a higher-level wizard.
Just like how the human eye on Earth sees 24 frames per second, it can automatically string together a smooth animation without any stuttering.
However, to high-level wizards, these 24 frames don't even take a second; they can see many more frames in a second.
Leo recalled that research on Earth had shown that the human eye can only see less than 5% of the real world, with the remaining 95% invisible.
It now appears that the remaining 95% is hidden in a spacetime completely imperceptible to humans on Earth. Wizards can see a more realistic world, and the higher the wizard's rank, the closer their vision is to reality.
Just like how the energy world is invisible at levels one and two, but becomes fully visible at level three, doesn't that mean what we can't see at levels one and two isn't the real world?
No, it's just that we don't see the whole world; most of the world is still in a spacetime that we can't see.
"Interesting. So I've been altering the spacetime around me, without even realizing it."
Leo watched with great interest. It was fair to say that the space system truly lived up to its reputation as the most difficult system to understand. Many of its knowledge points were completely incompatible with common sense, presenting a certain barrier to comprehension.
However, the more difficult the knowledge is to understand, the more terrifying its offensive power will become once it is transformed into strength.
Just like the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard!
Leo now recalls the scene of fighting the ten-thousand-meter-tall metal giant. It must have been a terrifying existence that even a level six Great Wizard would not have been able to defeat, after all, it had the amplification of a cosmic-level metal body.
As a result, he was defeated by the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard.
Lower-level wizards might mistake it for the incompetence of the metal giants, but the higher the level of the wizard, the more they can feel the terrifying oppression emanating from the metal giants.
I will continue to learn and integrate with my own knowledge system, not seeking to discover any incredibly powerful witchcraft, but only to have the ability to escape and defeat spatial witchcraft when I encounter it.
Before they knew it, Benji and his descendants had harvested the Fire Essence Flower four times.
Leo put down the book in his hand. Time had passed so quickly that he hadn't even realized that four years had gone by.
"If we could find a place with an incredibly large mass, time would pass extremely slowly. Wouldn't that truly be like the saying, 'A day in a cave is a thousand years in the world'?"
Leo stood up with a happy smile on his face. He could feel the energy in the air gathering towards the Ice Palace. The long wait was finally about to end and he was about to see the person he wanted to see.
" Alice succeeded, right?"
Yaoyao, like a wildcat who had caught a whiff of a fragrance, instantly appeared on Leo's shoulder and excitedly asked, looking at the energy tornado above the Ice Palace.
"Pretty close,"
Leo looked at the elemental tornado, which was only a hundred meters high and couldn't compare to the one he had when he broke through, but it was still a rare phenomenon when breaking through to the second level.
Alice's aura within the Ice Palace could be sensed rapidly increasing, finally reaching the peak of Level 1 an hour later, and breaking through the barrier to Level 2 in just half an hour.
Feeling Alice's rapidly rising level two aura, Leo's smile became even brighter.
As expected of Alice with her Ice Physique, she has managed to elevate her strength to such a level after breaking through to the second level.
The maximum mental strength of Level-Two Elemental Wizard is 200 points. Leo estimates that Alice can directly climb to over 160 points, far exceeding that of an ordinary Level Two Wizard.
She only needs a few years to improve, and she can reach the maximum value of 200 points.
This speed is already very fast for a normal Level Two Wizard.
"Bang"
The gates of the Ice Palace opened, and Alice, still exuding an uncontrollable aura, stepped out. The moment she saw Leo, her Ice demeanor instantly transformed into a warm spring day, and the smile on her face dimmed even the sunlight.
"Congratulations..."
Alice, I've missed you so much.
Leo had only said two words, "Congratulations on your promotion to level two," when Yaoyao interrupted him.
The moment the door opened, the little guy threw himself into Alice's arms, nuzzling her from side to side, spewing out the most mushy and cheesy things imaginable.
Alice hugged Yaoyao and gave Leo an apologetic smile, then gently patted Yaoyao, causing Yaoyao to have a runny nose.
"Congratulations on reaching level two." Leo stepped forward and grabbed Alice's hand, holding on tightly.
"I think I've caught up with you."
Alice not only didn't pull her hand away from Leo's, but instead gripped Leo tightly, as if she was terrified that Leo would leave her far behind.
Looking into Alice's affectionate gaze, Leo felt his face, his body, and even the air around him getting warmer.
Alice blushed slightly and smiled quietly. Leo felt as if his soul, anchored in the Shadow World, had been lured away.
His body felt empty; all his usual rationality and wisdom seemed to have transformed into the most primal impulses with Alice's gentle smile.
The love that came from the bottom of his heart could no longer be controlled, and like the surging waters of the Yellow River, it instantly overwhelmed Leo.
With a swift movement, he snatched Yaoyao from Alice's arms.
He tossed it casually, and a sonic boom echoed through the air.
Before Yaoyao could even utter a single word, she was thrown away somewhere.
"Come on, let's see the gift I brought back for you."
Leo couldn't wait to pull Alice towards the gate of the Ice Palace. Alice smiled helplessly and let Leo lead her.
When Yaoyao reappeared at the gates of Ice Ice Palace, the gates were tightly shut, though she didn't know when.
The most ordinary gate, which he had seen countless times, now seemed to transform into Leo's angry face.
It was as if he was glaring at Yaoyao and saying, "If you dare knock on the door, I dare lock you up for a hundred years."
Yaoyao knew how nervous Leo was right now, experiencing intense emotional fluctuations from the depths of his soul—it was comparable to the emotional turmoil he felt when facing the World Lord.
"Hmph, what a heartless bastard when it comes to the opposite sex."
Yaoyao neither knocked on the door nor teleported to Leo's side; it was best for him not to appear at this time.
It vanished instantly, and not long after, the Gulu Gulu of Gulu Beast cub echoed from the distant wizard tower.
The gates of the Ice Palace remained closed for a whole year without being opened once.
All the Gulu Beast knew the inside story would chuckle when they looked at the Ice Palace, a knowing look that conveyed the message, "You know what I mean."
Inside the Ice palace, there was such a huge bed!
"In two more years, your mental strength will reach the maximum of 200 points. After that, let's go to the Purple Flame Wizard Academy. I'll go and propose marriage to the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard."
Leo held Alice and said sweetly, his every breath filled with sweetness as he finally got what he wanted.
"There's no need to propose marriage yet. The teacher isn't at the academy; we can go when he returns."
Alice gently stroked her hair. Although wizards weren't worried about going bald, she still felt bad that Leo had knocked out so much of her hair.
"You've just been promoted and have a two-hundred-year rest period. I've also just finished an expedition and have a one-hundred-year rest period. Do you have any ideas? I can take you sightseeing."
"Then, as soon as the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard returned, I went to propose marriage."
While Leo was still struggling with the marriage proposal, Alice's eyes, unseen by Leo, revealed a pain that no one else could see.
"Let's go find a city with ordinary people. I want to live an ordinary life," Alice whispered, nestled against Leo's chest.
Her voice carried a hint of evasion and helplessness, but unfortunately, Leo was immersed in his wonderful life and didn't notice Alice's change at all.
