Chapter 673: Chapter 666: Feng’s Conjecture

"What kind of martial arts secret manual?" Luo’er was stunned for a moment before finally realizing, "Oh, you mean that little booklet."

"Is it possible?" Tangmo looked at him expectantly and asked.

"Why did you suddenly become interested in that thing?" While saying this, Luo’er started checking his pockets.

"Because I want to become stronger, so I can help you more." Tangmo frankly replied.

"You are already very strong now, and you’ve helped me a lot." Luo’er said, handing her the little booklet.

"I need to make you dependent on me!" Tangmo happily received the booklet, took a step back while holding it in her arms, and said to the two, "You can continue!"

With that, she reached out and grabbed Feng’s arm, dragging the bewildered girl away, "Quit being a third wheel and come with me to the office!"

Clearly, Tangmo knew what they were doing, but this was the first time Luo’er had seen her so generous. In the past, whenever he interacted with other girls, she would fly into a rage and remained jealous for days. Surprisingly, facing Baiyue, she was so calm and even helped them get rid of the third wheel.

"Um..." After Tangmo left, the atmosphere on the scene again turned awkward. Luo’er and Baiyue made fleeting eye contact, then quickly looked away, unsure what to say.

Tangmo dragged Feng past the corridor and into the room that served as the office. In the presence of Tangmo, Feng was quite compliant, as Tangmo was primarily responsible for her magic supply work. To some extent, she could be considered Feng’s guardian.

"Ah, not her again!" Feeling Feng’s arrival, Fulajie’er whimpered and promptly disassembled, hiding in place.

Seeing her sister’s unusual reaction, Nightingale slightly knitted her brows, then turned her head to look at Feng standing at the door. She could clearly feel a powerful aura from Feng, and she experienced a mysterious sense of oppression when Feng showed up.

"Why is Xiao Fula so afraid of Feng?" Zhuyan Yu looked towards the disappeared Fulajie’er and then turned her head to ask Tangmo.

"Oh, it seems that Feng has a wide perception range. She can sense Fula’s presence even when she’s not manifested." Tangmo said, looking at Feng. At that moment, Feng was staring at the seemingly empty air, moving her gaze back and forth.

"Here, Teacher Zhu, this is the martial arts secret manual." Tangmo said, handing the small booklet she got from Luo’er to Zhuyan Yu.

Zhuyan Yu took the booklet, flipped through it for a bit, then looked at Tangmo with furrowed brows, "Have you read the contents?"

"I can’t understand?" Tangmo shrugged.

"That’s strange. This is neither Tasta script, nor does it appear to be text from any other race." Zhuyan Yu said seriously, passing the booklet to Nightingale.

Nightingale received the booklet, quickly skimmed through a few pages, then assuredly said, "This is not a font from ancient times. Rather, there are no such fonts on this continent."

"Feng, can you understand the text?" Seeing their reactions, Tangmo turned her head to ask Feng.

"I don’t understand!" Feng shook her head and honestly replied.

"Then how did you learn it?" Tangmo was taken aback.

"There are illustrations!" Nightingale answered Tangmo’s question on behalf of Feng.

She continued to flip through a few more pages and found that there were detailed illustrations which were so comprehensive that they practically negated the need for textual explanation. Just by following the diagrams, you could perform the cultivation.

"That’s great. I thought I wouldn’t be able to learn it," said Tangmo, visibly relieved.

"If you’re thinking of learning this kind of magic formula, you’d best give up this thought," said Nightingale, who was leafing through the booklet with a icy expression.

"Why?" Tangmo asked, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This practice method requires a special physique. Not just you, but most of the mages in the magical world can’t learn this kind of magic formula," Nightingale replied.

"A special physique?" asked a baffled Tangmo.

"You mentioned before how Feng stored magic power in the Dantian, not to cast until combat. The issue lies in this so-called Dantian. From what I understand about the magic of the south and north of the continent, even an Archmage cannot compress and store magic power within their body." Nightingale replied nonchalantly.

"Why?" Tangmo queried.

"Compressing and storing magic power within the body is highly risky. If you fail, the dense magic power will be instantaneously released, leading to severe magic power erosion or even death. Even an Otherworlder has a limit to the capacity of the channels in the body that cater for magic power circulation. Overloading magic power will rupture these channels, leading to magic power erosion," Nightingale explained.

"Then why is Feng okay?" Tangmo curiously turned to look at Feng.

"Clearly, her body is different from other Otherworlders. The channel in her body responsible for circulating magic power is more durable than other mages, so she can bear the overload of magic energy transport without worrying about a rupture from the magic power."" Nightingale analysed.

"If she is immune to magic power erosion, that means she is an Otherworlder..." Zhuyan Yu paused for a moment, deep in thought then continued, "Could there be a chance that Feng’s physical structure is not much different from other mages, but the issue arises in the channels responsible for magic power transport? "

"That’s an interesting point of view, go on." Nightingale looked at Zhuyan Yu, nodding her approval.

"Let’s think about how a mage casts a spell. Yes, they absorb magic power through spells and collect it into their body, and then release it through a medium. The issue probably lies there," Zhuyan Yu paused for a moment before speaking again seriously, "Because mages need to absorb magic power from the air, they must make sure that all parts of their body can come into contact with the magic in the air. This allows them to absorb and cast magic quickly."

"Therefore, the channels inside a mage’s body spread throughout all parts of the body, like capillaries. This permits them to maximize the contact area for swift magic absorption. But here comes the issue."

Taking a breath, Zhuyan Yu continued, "Suppose that Feng is an Otherworlder and her physique resembles that of an average Otherworlder. If that’s the case, then the same channels that are scattered throughout a mage’s body can only get smaller due to the need for wide dispersion. This, in turn, limits the amount of magic power they can absorb for circulation in their body, hence the necessity to gather magic power externally. It should be apparent to everyone that most spells involve mages gathering magic power outside their bodies, which indicates that a mage’s body can’t bear the overload of magic power circulation. It is only possible to gather magic power externally, if that power was gathered internally, any mistake risks triggering a magic explosion inside the mage’s body, causing serious magic power erosion."

"For Feng, her method of magic involves storing magic power before combat and casting it during battle. This way, she doesn’t need to gather magic power and finish the magic formula during combat like traditional mages do. Instead, she just needs to store magic power beforehand."

"And considering our previous assumption that Feng’s physique is similar to Otherworlders’, this means she has the same number of channels in her body as a normal mage. However, she doesn’t need to gather magic power during combat but can directly mobilize the magic power stored inside her body."

"So," Zhuyan Yu took a look at everyone present and continued, "She doesn’t need to arrange such a capillary-like channel network over all body parts to absorb the magic power in the air, which means she can concentrate her channels on a few main ones, strengthening them to ensure that not even the intense magic power will damage the channels."

According to Zhuyan Yu’s theory, Feng’s body doesn’t disperse the channels for magic power operation widely. Instead, she has strengthened a few main channels, which is likely the primary reason she can overload magic power operation.
