Other than the wizard system route, Lu Zhiyu felt that he could create a leveling system for the spawns based on their blood inheritances. Instead of developing mind power, they would discover the power within their blood, which would then allow them to eventually take on the power of their mythical creature ancestors via atavism!

For the days after that, other than occasionally giving lessons to the apprentices of the wizard tower, Lu Zhiyu dedicated all of his time to this research. Following this train of thought, Lu Zhiyu created a mythical creature template that incorporated many complex special abilities. This template was completely different from incomplete existences, like Sakun, which only had simple abilities and many weaknesses to exploit.

However, Lu Zhiyu did not have the strong souls and deified cells that were needed to create true mythical creatures again, so he could only disassemble this mythical creature template into groups depending on their abilities. Their consciousness was identical to deified cells, so they could become a specialized organ.

Through this organ, it was possible to access the source form from the magic network, and then strengthen the body in order to conduct continuous atavistic evolution. Through every evolution, it would be possible for these monster races to acquire the special abilities of mythical ancestor templates with their blood inheritance. They would become stronger until eventually becoming mythical creatures themselves!

Lu Zhiyu named this race the dragon raja. As for the combination of their consciousness and deified cells, he called that dragonglass!

Lu Zhiyu’s creation of the dragon raja was just a test. If it was successful, Lu Zhiyu would be able to complete another one of his projects. It would exponentially increase Lu Zhiyu’s own abilities. Every one of Lu Zhiyu’s experiments could benefit himself. He never carried out experiments just for the sake of experimenting.

Three months later, Lu Zhiyu stood before the class again. He watched all of the apprentices, while both of his hands rested on the lectern. “Honestly, I’m very disappointed. All of you passed the meditation exam. I thought I would be able to kick a few of you out, to weed out a few weaklings. Honestly, was three months too much time?”

Everyone beneath the stage started laughing. Living beings had strong cravings for power and evolution. The individuals Lu Zhiyu had chosen all had excellent potential and superior intellects. Naturally, the higher the intellect of a being, the better their self-control and the harder they would work. Therefore, as long as they didn’t slack off, passing the meditation exam within three months wasn’t hard at all!

However, most of the apprentices had only just awakened their mind power. Only three or four apprentices had reached two SFU of mind power, and only Bohr alone had reached the three SFU!

Bohr had attracted Lu Zhiyu’s attention from the beginning. Lu Zhiyu thought that Bohr was very similar to him in regards to way of thinking and thirst for knowledge!

The apprentices couldn’t extract source directly from the zero-dimensional space and 60% were lost from the magic network. So with their current rate, other than people like Bohr, most would need at least 100 years of continuous meditation to become a level four wizard. In order to do so, they also had to awaken meditation space, change the nature of their mind power and awaken their brain cells. Both were trials of death, which only offered extremely low chances of success.

Even by transplanting the cells of mythical creatures, their lifespans would be very limited. Without becoming a true mythical creature, it was impossible to live beyond a thousand years. Without supernatural intelligence and abilities, Lu Zhiyu thought it’d be impossible for them to become mythical wizards!

And those with poor potential? Becoming a level one or two wizard, who mastered a bit of low-level witchcraft, wouldn’t be too bad. After all, there’s nothing wrong with only being a wizard apprentice. With a bit of knowledge, and some crude witchcraft, the least they could get was a wealthy lifestyle. Most of the people had weak senses of their consciousness, so they couldn’t even feel the magic network!

Lu Zhiyu scanned all of the apprentices, feeling that it would be a miracle if there were even one or two geniuses within this batch that satisfied his requirements. It seemed that civilization did need the accumulation of a large number of experiences in order to advance. This group probably could only pave the path for future generations!

The apprentices below were chatting excitedly. After awakening their mind power, they felt as if they were now different from ordinary people. Though their mind power wasn’t strong enough to materialize yet, it was strong enough to affect their own bodies, and to observe the interiors of their bodies!

“Silence. Today I will teach the first technique in witchcraft, the Body Modification Technique!” Lu Zhiyu announced. “This technique is for modifying your body into the most perfect state. For example, each and every one of you may have a few, or many, health issues. Perhaps you aren’t happy with a part of your body, or maybe you’re too short or too fat, or you have no muscle or are inflexible. You can fix all of those things with self-modification and even prevent more illnesses. If you get sick or injured, you can heal yourself, and you will be able to live to the limits of a normal lifespan, well past a hundred years!”

When Lu Zhiyu concluded his speech, he realized that his entire audience was holding in their breaths in anticipation. To these young wizard apprentices, this technique seemed godly beyond their wildest dreams. Just like how Lu Zhiyu had felt at the beginning, it seemed to open the door to a new world for them. Lu Zhiyu saw that all of their faces were a bit flushed in disbelief. They could hardly believe that this sort of ability was only a basic, low level technique of witchcraft!

Lu Zhiyu laughed. “Though it is a basic technique, it has endless potential. I don’t want you to follow my instructions to the dot, but rather to express your own will and creativity in order to further develop its uses and applications. Apply all of the knowledge that you’ve learned to create new spells. That is what a true wizard is!”

A boar-person from the orc race named Uruk stood up. “Mr. Anthony, does this mean I could lose weight to become a warrior?”

Lu Zhiyu nodded. “Of course. You can easily modify yourself into a strong warrior!”

Catherine immediately asked, “Does this mean that I can make myself prettier? I think my legs are fat!”

Lu Zhiyu laughed. “I think you look fine, but if you want to, you can modify yourself however you wish. I wouldn’t recommend a big modification at the start. First, you must completely understand the essentials that I’ll tell you and grasp this spell. Otherwise, if you fail at modification, the consequences can be extremely severe. Every spell carries its own risks. Even for the simplest techniques, if there is not a complete mastery, you will have to bear the brunt of your failure!”

Bohr followed up with a question. “Mr. Anthony, you said we would be able to heal our own diseases. Does that mean I would be able to heal the diseases of others too? I have recently begun observing the physical processes of my own body, working to gain a better understanding my organs in order to find the causes of diseases, as well as their treatment methods.”

Lu Zhiyu looked Bohr directly in the eye. Compared to the other questions, Bohr’s question was much deeper, reaching to the core of the topic. “Yes, Bohr, a brilliant question. That is the essence of the Body Modification Technique, which is what you all will be developing. What I just stated was the basics of Body Modification. If you have enough knowledge and mind power, you will be able to modify your body as you wish!

“Disease occurs when problems arise in the body. As long as you can find the cause, it can be healed. When your mind power reaches seven SFU, you will become a full-fledged wizard. Then, you can heal the diseases of others, and even modify their bodies, too!”

Leves stood up, unwilling to be bested by anyone. He tried to attract Lu Zhiyu’s attention. “Instructor, you said that we can become stronger than warriors. Does that mean we can also awaken our bloodline talent?”

Lu Zhiyu nodded. “Yes, you can easily become Bloodline Knights, if you wish.”

Leves continued, “Then, since we are altering our bodies, can we observe the abilities of other Blood Knights, and then imitate them onto ourselves, or even modify and enhance those powers?”

Lu Zhiyu chuckled. “Of course. I see there are a couple of smart ones in this group. Body Modification is only the very basics. I wish for you all to see it as a fundamental skill, and use it to create many varieties of modification techniques, or even more advanced modification techniques!”

Leves proudly saluted Lu Zhiyu, before returning to his seat. Lu Zhiyu continued speaking. “Other than that, if you create a new witchcraft technique, you can go to the library management center to exchange it for points. Points can be exchanged on the seventh floor of the library for special witchcraft techniques, equipment, raw materials, laboratory time, magical beast blood, beast cubs, and more. All exchanged techniques and knowledge are exclusive to the wizard tower. You cannot pass those techniques down to outsiders! However, your own techniques and information systems can be shared with others!”

Lu Zhiyu pulled out an anatomical model, depicting both genders, and hung it on the wall. He then began explaining the principles behind the Body Modification Technique, as well as its methods of usage!
