Chapter 25 (1/2)

Andrew held a book in his hands as he hurriedly entered the Association’s Headquarters. On the way, the mages all looked at him with extremely respectful gazes.

“Mr. Smith, you’ve come again today.”

“Yes.”

Andrew nodded casually. After a short exchange of pleasantries, he took out the medal that Lanza had given him and used his authority as the Honorary President to enter the magic book collection. He could not wait to sit down, he flipped open the manual on how to cultivate arcane in the realm of a great mage.

In a way, Andrew was lucky. The President was not far from a breakthrough, which was why the Rafax City was able to keep books on the cultivation of arcane in its collection. He had gone off to explore the secret realm at this point, so Andrew had the opportunity to learn about them. Otherwise, Andrew could only benefit from the records and insights of these advanced magical books and would only have access to that more advanced knowledge when he was promoted to the headquarters.

‘Is organizing the elements crucial?’

Andrew instantly flipped through the book in his hand, he was able to understand the premise of arcane cultivation very quickly.

‘Compared to ordinary magic, which mainly relies on spiritual power to outline runes, the magic power in the internal nodes of the body only serves as a transit station to communicate with the outside world.’

‘The arcane in the great mage realm requires the use of spiritual power to draw runes at the same time, allowing one’s magic power to operate in a certain special way.’

‘Only by doing this can one have the ability to cultivate the arcane.’

‘That’s not right. Why didn’t this book mention the problem with the fire spirit?’

Andrew discovered a blind spot. After flipping through the book in his hand, he roughly understood why his blazing sun fireball and red lotus flare were so powerful. It was because these two spells had been fused with the arcane runes, so it was able to better mobilize the power of the fire spirit in his body, and the nodes had already completed a certain special operation of the fire elements. This was very similar to what this book said.

‘Arcane level spells and arcane are not the same, but it can effectively allow a mage to familiarize himself with the ability to mobilize arcane spells earlier?’

‘I’m in luck.’

Andrew mused. Then, he felt that something was wrong. The special nature of fire spirit elemental beings benefited Andrew greatly, however, this mage book on arcane did not contain any knowledge related to elemental beings.

‘Unless…the difficulty of entering the fire elemental world is higher than I imagined. Ordinary great mages are unable to come into contact with related knowledge.’

Andrew found this speculation a little too wild, but with his hundredfold talent, it was still possible.

‘Forget it, there are no great mages in the entire Rafax City. My wild guess won’t be of much use. Perhaps the person who wrote this book simply wanted to hide the information about the elemental beings like the fire spirit. Who knows?’

Andrew quickly dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind. He had a good idea. Previously, he had developed two arcane level spells. To a certain extent, he could make the magic power in the node move and circulate in a special rhythm. Thus, Andrew immediately turned to the second half of the book, which described specific measures to cultivate the arcane.

…

“The essence of the arcane is the comprehension and application of the fundamental magical laws.”

This was the sentence that left the deepest impression on Andrew after flipping through the entire book.

So that was how it was. A flash of understanding appeared in his eyes.
