[Beep. Data for advancement completed. Do you wish to display it now?]
Grimm, who was immersed in deep meditation, was woken up by the A.I. Chip's prompt.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Display!"
His mind was in a daze, and then a flood of data and information began to flood his screen.
With the speed at which information was being transmitted, it was impossible to capture it with the naked eye. Fortunately, Elemental Magi specialized in spiritual force. Not only did their spiritual force have a myriad of transformations, it also had the ability to aid in thinking.
This was one of the main reasons why high-ranked Magi had an eidetic memory and were able to use their brains to grasp complex three-dimensional spell formations.
Grimm had made a similar calculation. After becoming a Magus, every increase in spiritual force was akin to connecting an artificial intelligence hub. The higher the spiritual force, the more artificial intelligence hubs there would be. In comparison, a Magus's mind would be more intelligent, and it would be able to process the vast amount of mysterious information.
To put it bluntly, the brain of a Magus was equivalent to a terrifying artificial intelligence computer. However, they obviously lacked the necessary operating system, and could only rely on their childish and crude instincts to make them work.
In this process, Grimm's A.I. Chip had undoubtedly played a huge role!
Only with the A.I. Chip's data and resources could he display the true effects of every bit of spiritual force.
"A.I. Chip, display my body's basic stats!"
[Received, data has been transmitted …]
With a slight buzzing sound, the familiar data panel appeared in Grimm's mind again.
Grimm, peak of rank 2. Profession: Elemental Magus (Fire Specialization). Stats: Strength 14 + 1 (20), Vitality 17 (21), Agility 11 + 1 (9), Spiritual force 29 (30). Note: Stats after transformation are shown in brackets. Profession Skills: Body of Flames, Balrog Transformation …
After years of accumulation and training, Grimm's spiritual force had finally reached the peak of rank 2, 29 points. It was no wonder that no matter how much he meditated and trained, the A.I. Chip could not detect any signs of his spiritual force increasing.
With the A.I. Chip and his spiritual force working together, he could now detect any changes to the last five digits of the decimal point in his spiritual force. Unfortunately, half a month had passed. Regardless of whether he meditated or swallowed some spiritual force potions, his spiritual force did not increase in the slightest.
Even the 2 points of spiritual power boost from the Flame Equipment Set had lost its effect!
From this, it could be concluded that if he did not find a way to advance to the next stage, his spiritual power would forever be stuck at 29 points.
Having a perfect spiritual force was only one of the basic requirements to advance to rank 3. What was left was whether or not one's knowledge reached a certain standard. With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grim had no problems at all.
"A.I. Chip, how's the analysis of the knowledge required for advancement?"
"Beep, all Magus knowledge has been analysed and can be transferred at any time …"
"Transfer it now!"
As his mind went into a trance, a series of knowledge about fire spells began to flow into Grimm's brain. Grimm had never come into contact with much of this knowledge before, but after the A.I. Chip's in-depth analysis and statistical classification, it had been converted into pure data that flowed through Grimm's mind.
Although most of the knowledge was unfamiliar, when it flowed into Grimm's brain and was stored in the depths of his sea of consciousness, it was as if it had been immersed in knowledge for decades, becoming a part of Grimm's soul.
How to go from a superficial knowledge to a beginner's mastery required countless witchcraft experiments and a long period of time to ponder and accumulate knowledge. But now that he had the A.I. Chip, this painstaking process was skipped.
Grimm was extremely familiar with every piece of knowledge that was transferred to him, and it had already become a part of his body's knowledge.
After fully understanding and analyzing the Advanced Application of the Power of the Will, Grimm immediately understood the mistakes he had made in using his power of the will in the past. It also showed him how those high-grade wizards could quickly and efficiently use their power of the will in battle.
Comparing this with the memories of the Wizard Yurga during the battle, he quickly found a resonance point.
High-ranked Magi rarely used spells with fixed elemental models in battle. Instead, they used large amounts of primitive elemental particles to bombard their enemies. This way, they could skip the process of elemental molding, and their spells and attacks became sharper and faster.
As for the slight loss of elemental power, they could rely on faster spell casting to make up for it. Moreover, compared to the old-fashioned way of casting spells step by step, it was more flexible in battle, and also more free to do as he pleased.
However, controlling unshaped elemental particles was definitely more difficult than controlling shaped spells, so only high-ranked Magi could do this. Even if low-ranked Magi wanted to do this, they would not be able to do it due to their lack of spiritual force.
'Elemental Conversion' was a compulsory course for Elemental Magi!
Only by mastering Elemental Conversion could an Elemental Magus perfect their own spell system. For example, the Lava Shield and Lava Fireball that Grimm used the most were a fusion of Fire and Earth spells. If Grimm did not have any knowledge about Earth spells, he would not be able to master this compound spell.
Moreover, Elemental Conversion was a key knowledge for him to step into the void in the future. If Grimm could not master it, it would be very difficult for him to survive in the harsh environment of the void.
Just the problem of drinking water alone was enough to trap a high-ranked Magus to death!
Grimm still had a body of flesh and blood. Although his need for food and water had been reduced to the lowest level of a human body, he still could not completely eliminate it. Even if Grim didn't eat or drink for three to five days, it wouldn't affect his movements. However, if it was extended to ten days, Grimm's combat power would be greatly reduced.
If he could not get the minimum amount of food and water to maintain his body within a month, he might starve to death!
However, as long as Grimm advanced to rank 3, this physiological requirement could be extended to half a year.
This meant that Grimm only needed to eat once every six months to maintain his own survival needs.
The reason why Elemental Conversion was so important was because of the 'Water Making Spell' invented by Magi.
In some foreign worlds or ancient ruins where they could not leave, if they could not find an edible water source, Magi could only use the 'Water Making Spell' to make some elemental water for themselves. Without a doubt, Elemental Conversion was the prerequisite for mastering the 'Water Making Spell'.
Of course, the 'Icy Flame' rune that Grimm had mastered was also part of the Elemental Conversion. However, Grimm had relied on some incomplete runes to do it. He only knew how to use it but did not understand the principles behind it.
Now that he had mastered Elemental Conversion, Grimm had the chance to completely analyze the 'Icy Flame' rune!
However, the first two items were not as helpful to Grim as the [Energy System Self-construction Model]. This was the core of Grimm's advancement to rank 3.
In the past, when Grimm trained his Body of Fire, he mostly relied on his body's instincts to achieve a subtle balance between his flesh and fire energy. This process involved destroying the body's original structure and absorbing countless fire elemental particles from the outside world to slowly seep into the body's flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs. Small and delicate flame energy fields were used to protect the fragile human parts of the body.
Although Grimm's Body of Fire was very powerful, his human body was still as fragile as a delicate porcelain. If he used a little more force, it would suddenly collapse!
But now, with the knowledge of the 'Self-Constructing Model of Energy System', Grimm could adjust and optimize according to his own situation. He could combine the independent and small energy fields into a complete and self-consistent energy circulation system.
This way, his human body would no longer be his shortcoming and weakness. Instead, it would become a solid foundation for his powerful combat power!
…
…
The knowledge that he needed to advance slowly flowed through Grimm's mind. Every single one of them made Grimm's mind move. And when all of this knowledge was combined, it clearly pointed out a path that led to a higher rank!
It was just that in the past, Grimm would always' go astray 'in some aspects during his training and development. So before he really advanced, he needed to correct these mistakes one by one.
And this was undoubtedly a very time-consuming process!
Moreover, Grimm had some results from studying the orc totem rune that he had captured from the Johnson Plane. It would be a great help to his transformation mageweath.
So before he advanced, he needed to confirm the new mageweath for the 'Balrog Transformation'.
When the time came, Grimm could use the huge transformation of his body and spirit during the advancement period to fuse the new mageweath into it. This way, he would have a powerful combat power once he reached Level-3!
Moreover, he had some good research results on the spirit attachment spell that he got from the orcs. If he could make use of this process and turn it into a part of his own strength, it would be very worthwhile.
Moreover, Grimm's soul was bound by too many sorcery contracts. With such a heavy burden, it would be very difficult to cross the threshold of Level-3. So, after thinking about it, Grimm gave up on the soul contracts with the 'Sewing Puppet', 'Dragonman Zacha', and 'Goblin Kabi'. He only kept the soul brands of Alice and the Plague Poison Spirit.
After this period of time, Grimm was confident that he could obtain the loyalty of Dragonman Zacha and Goblin Kabi without using the soul contracts. As for the Soul Familiar, it was enough to have the Plague Poison Spirit. The addition of the Ghost Puppet would only slow down their advancement.
But now that the Sewing Puppet had become a Level-2 spirit, it would be a pity to just throw it away. So Grimm planned to use the process of soul modification to separate the Sewing Puppet and make it into some strange wizard tool.
