A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 227 A wise person knows when to yield.

"Great! Very energetic!"

"Since you two are so ambitious, then I will reluctantly become your witness."

Jiang Shuzhou witnessed this interesting scene as soon as he arrived and immediately decided to become a witness to the duel between the two.

"Well, there's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A wise man knows when to yield.' I am a wise man, so I know when to yield and prioritize the big picture. That's why I won't cause trouble in such important situations."

"Just admit you're a chicken! I'll be waiting for you here in Class 3, Grade 1 of the Fifth Academy. Come on if you dare!"

"If you come here, you're definitely in for a world of trouble!"

Surprisingly, a fight didn't break out on the spot.

Boring, I want to see rivers of blood.

Jiang Shuzhou originally planned to watch a tense, exciting, dramatic, and bloody gladiatorial battle before the invasion, just to have some fun. But he never expected that he would back down like this.

This describes someone who is concerned with minor matters of etiquette but neglects important ones, who fears authority but does not cherish virtue.

You can't reason with this kind of person; a beating will solve everything.

Hikawa Okaban thought Ye Chen wouldn't make a move, or at least that professors like Jiang Shuzhou would intervene. But he didn't expect Jiang Shuzhou to be such a troublemaker, insisting on acting as a notary and showing no intention of stopping him.

Even with Jiang Shuzhou in this state, the other alchemists showed no intention of intervening. Seeing that no one was backing him up, Rikawa Okaban had nothing to say and could only admit defeat.

"Alright, since everything's fine, let's get started."

Jess immediately cast a spell, creating an ice wall that separated the Fifth Academy from the students of the other academies.

"Next, I will introduce the general process."

Then, Jess began his explanation.

"Based on my years of experience, there are two ways to invade other dimensions."

"The first option is to descend directly in their true form, using their strength to forcefully withstand the suppression of the plane's will and build a new astral landmark, or a guiding array, and then send an army to conquer it."

"However, if you are strong enough, you can conquer it single-handedly."

"However, this kind of behavior requires the mage to be extremely powerful and is very risky. Once they die, they are really dead. We will absolutely not use it this time."

"The second type is similar to your situation, Ye Chen. It involves creating a channel to send your soul over. This type of situation will not be detected by the plane's consciousness and will be subject to very little suppression."

"And even if you die, you can be resurrected. Of course, one thing to be careful about is not to let your soul be bound, otherwise you will also die."

Jess glanced at the uneasy looks in everyone's eyes, then smiled and continued.

"This situation is special, so we naturally used the second option, which is safer."

Then he took out a series of crystal balls, and with a wave of his hand, the crystal balls floated in front of everyone.

Have you ever heard of magic-powered mechs?

"This thing is a simulated magic-powered mech. It's a blank soul, a fake soul. You just need to imprint your mental energy onto it to control it."

"Once the branding is complete, you can throw this soul into another plane through the Astral Gate, and the spell attached to it will naturally help you choose a suitable person to possess."

"Using this method, even if you die, you will only lose some mental energy and will be fine after a few days of rest."

Ye Chen was shocked after hearing this. Isn't this just the technology used in games?

Jiang Shuzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The game actually uses direct soul transfer. The reason why it doesn't matter if the player dies is because there is magic to protect the soul. However, this is the technology that should be used when playing in the competition.

As for the body, it was 100% created using permanent magic. Moreover, many of the techniques used not only the magic of mages but also the power of gods. It is unknown why, even though Roland was capable of completing it alone.

There might be some kind of bet or game involved behind this. Jiang Shuzhou is not qualified to participate in this level of competition and calculation at all.

Just do your own job well. Once you have the strength, you will naturally be qualified to participate in the game.

In any case, Roland must have had goodwill towards him; otherwise, if someone of Roland's caliber wanted to mess with him, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

"Alright, just focus your mental energy into it. A spell will guide you on how to complete it."

After Jess finished speaking, he also began to inject his mental energy.

Jiang Shuzhou naturally didn't fall behind either. He was very skilled and completed the injection of mental energy in less than two seconds.

Unfortunately, this thing wasn't very effective; Jiang Shuzhou hadn't injected much before it was full.

The amount of mental energy injected also represents the total amount of mental energy available when casting spells over there.

In layman's terms, it's about ability.

With the mental energy within this small ball, it's only at the first level.

"Don't you have anything better? Who needs this little bit?"

"That's all. It was specially designed to ensure fairness."

Jess shook his head, looking quite helpless.

fair?

Jiang Shuzhou rolled his eyes. Surely no one thinks that an alchemist can't do anything without power?

Jiang Shuzhou has so much knowledge in his head that even creating a Resident Evil scenario would be a piece of cake for him.

After all, although alchemy requires the use of magic, with enough knowledge and experience, even an apprentice can create unimaginable creations.

Of course, if he had no magic at all, then Jiang Shuzhou would have no choice but to work on machinery, since that's what Earth does, isn't it?

"By the way, classmates, how about we agree on a secret code? After all, it might be difficult to recognize each other in other dimensions."

Jess suggested.

The reward is excellent. Once successful, each person will receive a share of the dimensional revenue ranging from 0.1% to 10%, depending on their contribution.

The rewards are quite generous.

As expected of a legendary alchemist, Pamela is incredibly wealthy; this amount of money is nothing to her.

This program is not only about nurturing these students who are not yet fully grown, but also about ensuring that these new generation of mages benefit from the program.

"Machines are immortal, flesh and blood are eternal."

"How about this sentence?"

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"Okay, this one will do."

Jess had no objection.

"I support Professor Navis."

"Me too."

Without a doubt, Jess had no objections, and the others naturally had no objections either; Jiang Shuzhou's proposal was passed unanimously.

"Alright then, see you in the new world."

After saying that, Jess dispelled the ice wall and walked to something that Jiang Shuzhou recognized.

Isn't this a gaming pod?

Jiang Shuzhou's lips twitched as he looked at the familiar object.

Did you pay Roland's patent fees? How dare you copy him?

Despite his words, Jiang Shuzhou lay down on it with practiced ease.

And for safety, he also set up a bunch of defensive arrays and security measures outside.

Although this place is protected by a sacred domain and even has the attention of legends, there shouldn't be any problems.

But when it comes to a ship that needs to sail for millennia, it's always good to be cautious.
