Cultivating in the Wizard World

Chapter 542: Chapter 465: Farewells and Farewells (2-in-1)

Therefore, in the Wizard World, seeking rapid advancement without accumulating a certain level of knowledge can truly harm both oneself and others.

Except for inexperienced novices participating in their first Plane War, even Combat Wizards wouldn’t be foolish enough to do such a thing.

On the contrary, sufficient knowledge can bring about strong combat power. Even if a Wizard’s level is low, the gains from subsequent Plane Wars will not be lacking.

After all, Wizards don’t face pressure from lifespan, so for many Wizards, staying at their current realm and continuously accumulating knowledge until their current research capacity reaches its limit is the optimal solution.

Of course, if someone like Viola jumps directly from Third Level to Sixth Level Wizard, then there might not be such concerns.

Because High Tier Wizards not only aren’t forcibly conscripted, but they also have a mandatory rest period, during which they can calmly replenish their knowledge.

Listening to Anya’s question, a bitter smile deepened on Jeming’s face. He confessed, "In terms of knowledge accumulation... it indeed can’t keep up. There are many advanced fields that a Fifth Level Wizard needs to explore, but I’ve only briefly touched upon them, not even started in some areas. However..."

His tone shifted, with a hint of relief, "Fortunately, the foundation that was laid before is still quite solid. Hmm... For immediate combat effectiveness, there hasn’t been a serious disconnection yet."

But David’s expression remained serious as he asked a more critical question, "What about your mastery of the Laws? Jeming, don’t tell me you forced your mastery level up by swallowing large amounts of Plane Origin!"

This question struck the core, making Reks and Anya tense up instantly.

In the Wizard World, this is an open secret and a trap that many who are eager for success easily fall into.

Plane Origin indeed contains "fragments of knowledge" corresponding to the Laws, absorbing them can quickly increase the numerical value of "law mastery."

However, such knowledge is scattered and lacks intrinsic logical connection.

It’s like someone memorizing the definitions of all the words in a dictionary but not understanding grammar, rhetoric, and context, still unable to write beautiful essays or even smoothly express themselves.

The law knowledge system constructed through one’s own research, experiments, and comprehension step by step is systematic knowledge, capable of flexible application and innovation.

While mastery level stacked through Plane Origin is more like a rigid database, knowing the surface without understanding the essence.

Its application is clumsy and inefficient, almost cutting off further possibilities.

After all, the so-called "100% law mastery" is just reaching the minimum theoretical threshold for "Law Solidification."

It doesn’t mean that one has fully grasped all the mysteries of the Law.

The depth and breadth of the Law are nearly infinite; 100% is just the start, a qualification certification.

A Wizard who forces their mastery level to 100% using Plane Origin is almost like a lamb to the slaughter in front of a Wizard who truly reaches 100% through their own research, even if the latter might only hold 80% of the "quantity," but the "quality" is altogether different.

What Jeming masters is the Conceptual Element, which theoretically doesn’t have Plane Origin aligning with it, but similar knowledge Plane Origin can nonetheless be used—just as consuming Water Element Origin can in certain aspects improve mastery related to the Time Law.

Jeming naturally understands the stakes involved. He shook his head solemnly, "You can rest assured on this point. My mastery of the Spiritual Qi Law, including my touch on several other Laws, has been accumulated by my research, verification, and study step by step, not relying on Plane Origin as a shortcut. Although the process... did make use of some special conditions and resources for acceleration, the foundation is my own."

Upon hearing Jeming’s confident answer, David, Reks, Seraphina, and Anya collectively breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on their faces greatly diminishing.

As long as the foundation of the Laws is solidified by oneself, even if the knowledge field is temporarily narrow, there will be plenty of time to make up for it.

The greatest fear is self-destructing the future for the sake of levels.

"That’s good..." David patted Jeming’s shoulder with substantial force, "You always manage to create surprising things. Don’t fail us in this war!"

"Be careful," Anya also instructed.

Reks didn’t say anything, just nodded firmly.

David would have continued speaking, but at that moment, the entire Ship Plane’s vast assembly region surrounding them lit up again with large patches of teleportation light.

This signaled the beginning of more detailed group teleportation, sending Wizards to different assigned locations according to the predetermined squads and tasks.

"Looks like we’ll be separating," Jeming said regretfully as he looked down at the slightly different Teleportation Runes beneath his feet compared to David and the others.

"Take care!"

"Come back alive!"

"Let’s do research together after the war!"

They quickly bid farewell, keeping their words brief.

At the last moment before the teleportation light completely engulfed his vision, Jeming saw David forcefully wave, mouthing words seemingly saying, "Don’t die, we’re still waiting to see how far you can go!"

The light flashed, and figures disappeared.

...

...

With the teleportation light completely dispersed, Jeming’s feet settled firmly on the solid and slightly cool alloy ground.

Quickly scanning his surroundings, he was unsurprised to see two familiar figures—Professor Clark and Senior Sister Viola.

Clearly, when determining the final combat groups, the upper management of Nolun Workshop did consider the Wizards’ established rapport and degree of cooperation.
