  =======================================

  In the admiration of the dog-headed people, Gua had never felt so comfortable and couldn't help but feel a little proud. No wonder everyone wanted to be superior, just this admiring gaze was an extremely luxurious enjoyment.

  However, he soon thought of the great master Xilang, and those northern nobles who were about to go bankrupt, even the crazy axe-wielding Mengdun, who was also a squadron leader, posed a great threat to himself. Guagua suddenly woke up from his self-satisfaction, and involuntarily clenched his fists.

  Don't be proud, don't be complacent, must be stronger!

  Valley melon thought so, walked into the ranks, seriously corrected his team's training method, and then returned to the second floor of the mage tower. After many practices, he came up easily this time.

  He took a cushion similar to a tatami mat and placed it next to the crystal ball, then assumed a cross-legged sitting position from his past life, slowly pushing his hands onto the crystal ball.

  The blue progress bar symbolizing knowledge infusion is progressing slowly, while the red progress bar symbolizing the awakening degree of the three dog-headed human dragon veins also has a slight increase.

  Valley Melon adjusted the white crystal ring on his hand and then used his mind to control the progress bar of blue knowledge, splitting a branch in his direction.

  In an instant, the blue electric suit on his body was connected to the magic of the crystal ball in one piece. A complex idea rushed into him from the crystal ball like a runaway train.

  His thumb on the white crystal ring suddenly flashed, unexpectedly this knowledge infusion was too intense, just like pouring Yangtze River water into a plastic bag, the white crystal ring shattered with a crisp "pop" sound. Guagua took advantage of this delay to quickly close his six senses, blocking the torrent of knowledge outside, and fell into the state of closed cultivation in his previous life.

  After he calmed his mind, he slowly opened one percent of his sixth sense. Suddenly, it was as if six or seven people were reciting in unison beside his ear with the same loud voice: "In the northern part of the Apennine Mountains..." "The principle of magic is..." "The era of the spirits..."

  A torrent of information burst forth from these six or seven voices. He immediately shut off his sixth sense a bit more, leaving only two voices lingering in his ears, like a radio station he had locked onto the subjects of magical theory and history. There was much he needed to understand, but these two were the most important.

  After mastering this degree, Gua once again drew the red progress bar towards himself. The red progress bar transformed into countless tiny ants, which crawled along his arm and into his body. As the red ants crawled in, a numbness spread from head to toe, deeply penetrating every muscle fiber, engraving itself into every bone, making him feel as if tens of thousands of ants were nibbling at his body bit by bit, that intense feeling was almost indistinguishable from being tortured.

  The numbness quickly detected the magic core and calculated for a while.

  Soon, the red ants on his body crawled out again, and had formed a connection with his body, displaying all of his physical qualities in the crystal ball.

  "Bloodline Development Degree: 62%. Possesses a Heterogeneous Magic Core: Grade 2 Upper, Attribute: Water."

  "Current rank estimate: Warrior 4th tier top."

  "Is an in-body nuclear analysis performed?"

  Valley melon thought for a moment and responded: "Yes."

  A red glow circled around the already-shrunken magic core in his stomach a few times, analyzing it tightly.

  Valley Gourd currently does not know that the existence in this crystal ball, which can achieve various intelligent effects, is actually the tower spirit of this mage tower. It is a powerful intelligent magic device, and its intelligence level is basically comparable to the artificial intelligence still under development in the previous life.

  That is to say, this Tower Spirit, even if placed in the previous era's technological age, would still be a super-level fantasy product.

  As the core of a mage tower, the Tower Spirit is completely under the control of the master of the mage tower. In other words, anything done through the Tower Spirit is done under the eyes of the great wizard Xylara, and any event that occurs within the monitoring range of this mage tower is in the grasp of Xylara Octo.

  Even if Kua knew the inside story, he couldn't afford to think about that much. Even if he didn't use this crystal ball to plot his own affairs, Xilang Oke would use various methods, known or unknown, to get a clear understanding of himself. If he could use this magical tool to enhance his abilities faster, within the time that this great magician could tolerate him, and grow into a strong man who could control his own destiny, then that was his only way out.

  A great wizard, with a notorious surname, went around saying that he only brought a powerful demonized half-beast warrior and dared to bring so many supplies to the distant north. If this guy wasn't crazy, it would mean he's a deeply cunning person.

  In Guagua's view, it is obviously not the former.

  Moreover, by actively exposing one's own secrets, it also reduces the threat to oneself from the great magician Xilang. Intelligent people are always arrogant about their own wisdom, so letting this suspicious magician think that everything is under control will also greatly reduce the threat to oneself.

  Tongguo thought for a moment and then opened the crystal ball's page, asking: "Methods of knowledge transfer."

  "There are three ways to impart knowledge: Firstly, directly writing the knowledge into the recipient's brain through magical means. The advantage is that it can be used immediately, but the disadvantage is that it will cause unknown damage to the recipient's brain, resulting in overall brain function impairment."

  Second: Through magical means, an arcane mechanism is created in the recipient's magical item that can store knowledge from a thousandth of a second to twenty years. The specific storage time depends on the level of the magical item. The knowledge temporarily exists in the recipient's magical item and can be taken out for study at any time they wish, or it can be studied during sleep, forming a knowledge dream. The advantage is that it is portable, but the disadvantage is that learning progress is relatively slow.

  Third: By extracting the soul, the soul of the person being manipulated is pulled into a virtual space created by the Tower Spirit, where knowledge can be learned and more time can be gained. Specifically, this Tower Spirit has already created a virtual space, where one hour in the virtual space corresponds to only five minutes in the real world, with a ratio of twelve times. The advantages are: higher utilization rate of time, deeper mastery of knowledge, but there are two disadvantages: First, the ability to acquire knowledge depends on the level of ability to create virtual spaces, and people with unstable minds will be trapped in the virtual space, assimilated, and their souls and powers will be absorbed by the Tower Spirit. Second, it is impossible to learn content that has not been set up in the Tower Spirit.
