Chapter 789 An Unintentional Act Leads to a Success
Viola was taken aback by Jemin's reaction:
"What's wrong?"
Jemin looked strange:
"Senior, your mental strength... has increased by 30%?"
"Yes. Oh, your energy can indeed be used to strengthen the body, but I think it's too wasteful. I only tried it once and then used it all to strengthen my mental power."
"Is there a problem?"
Jemin remained silent.
Is there a problem?
Yes, absolutely, and it's a huge problem!
Jemin stood in front of the experiment, his brows furrowing slightly.
He quickly re-analyzed the previously recorded data in his mental sea.
Based on numerous previous experiments with blood sacrifice techniques, it is found that when the recipient's aptitude reaches the current level cap, the excess power of the same-level sacrifice does not disappear, but is transformed according to the recipient's own cultivation level.
According to his experimental research records, offerings of the same level can be converted into an increase of about 50% to 30% in the recipient's cultivation level. In the wizarding system, this would naturally translate to an increase in mental strength and physical power.
That's not a problem; the problem is that the increase is too high.
Based on the mental energy fluctuations that Jemin previously sensed in Viola, each of these three sacrifices should only increase mental energy by about 10%.
Viola's mental strength just now increased by exactly 30%.
This means that all the benefits gained from sacrificing the three level-six clones were converted into mental energy, with no improvement in aptitude whatsoever.
Jemin slowly exhaled: "..."
Only now did he realize where the vague unease he had felt after conducting the experiment came from.
The key lies in the qualifications of high-level wizards.
Not only are those who can reach high levels in the cultivation system generally of good aptitude, but the same is true in the wizarding system.
Those who can advance to higher levels on their own are unlikely to have any obvious shortcomings in their aptitude.
Elemental affinity, soul strength, spiritual growth rate... these indicators that determine potential are constantly supplemented by various resources when you are at a low level.
If there are obvious flaws, one cannot reach the higher levels at all.
Just like the wizard Mars he met when he first enrolled, his level three talent originally wouldn't have been enough to advance him to a full wizard, but he made up for his deficiency by using resources he gained on the battlefield, and was eventually able to advance. (Chapter 5)
But this also means that his original plan to improve the aptitude of high-level wizards through blood sacrifice and then earn a huge amount of military merits... was wrong from the very beginning!
High-level wizards don't need to improve their talents at all.
Thinking about this, Jemin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
However, when his gaze fell on Viola's face, he paused slightly.
The senior's eyes practically lit up, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
By any measure... it doesn't seem like they think this technology is useless.
Jemin tentatively asked:
"Senior, what do you think? If it were put on the market, what do you think its commercial prospects would be?"
Upon hearing this, Viola blinked as if she had heard an unbelievable question: "Business prospects?"
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly became serious:
"Let me confirm first, besides the technical cost of this magic array itself, is the only main consumable only a clone of the same level as the recipient?"
"That's right." Jemin nodded.
"Does inscribing the magic circle require any special materials, or are there any special requirements for the clone itself?"
"There are no special materials or requirements. In extreme cases, this magic array can be used with just mental energy. The clone does not need to have knowledge or combat ability; it only needs to meet the life level requirement."
"Are there any limitations to your technique for enhancing mental power? For example, is it something that can't be used once you reach the eighth level of wizardry?"
Jemin scratched his head: "There's no such limitation. Although I haven't tested it, based on the principle, the effect might be slightly weaker on an eighth-level wizard, since most eighth-level wizards have an exaggerated level of power..."
Before she could finish speaking, Viola suddenly stepped forward and slammed both hands heavily on Jemin's shoulders.
boom!
Because she was too excited, Viola used a bit too much force, and a slight metallic scraping sound even came from the puppet's shoulder.
"Of course it has potential!" Her eyes lit up, and she spoke much faster. "And it's a tremendous potential!"
"Forget about level six or seven wizards, even those big shots who have just advanced to level eight would be scrambling to get your technology!" Jemin was taken aback: "Level eight wizards also need to improve their mental power?"
"certainly."
Viola nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Do you know what an eighth-level wizard lacks most after advancing to the next level? It's not laws or knowledge, but mental strength!"
Jemin was somewhat puzzled: "But I heard that once the laws are fixed, an eighth-level wizard can achieve zero mental energy consumption."
Viola did not refute: "That's true, but you're referring to combat situations."
"However, outside of combat, for an eighth-level wizard to advance, they need to constantly refine their fixed laws. Every deduction, every experiment, and every activation of a domain in this process requires immense mental strength."
"But mental strength isn't like elemental energy, which can be increased at will. Especially for beings at the level of an eighth-level wizard, most mental strength-enhancing potions are ineffective. Apart from slowly increasing it over time, there is almost no other way."
"Many level seven or eight wizards spend thousands of years just to improve their mental strength by a little bit."
