The Lord of Ashes

Refining the body is not an easy task.

In other words, there are not so many things in this world that can be easily accomplished.

Thane used to think that the knights in the wizarding world lived a comfortable life, at least on the surface.

But since experiencing body training, Thane knew that knights must also have a bitter and sweaty side that ordinary magicians don't know.

Even for many knights, they not only sweat, but sometimes even more blood.

At least when it comes to body refining, the knights in the wizarding world must be more difficult and spend more time than Thane.

When Thain embarked on the path of elemental body refining, he took many shortcuts.

First of all, he couldn't spend a lot of time training his body like the knights. He didn't have that time.

Secondly, Thane's strength requirements for passive physical evolution are not as stringent as those of knights of the same level.

It's not like Thain relies on his body to survive, he mainly relies on his brain.

Compared with the body refining process of ordinary knights in the wizarding world, the body refining experiment designed and executed by Thain has a lot more professional knowledge that only spellcasters can master.

It’s also thanks to Thain’s knowledge of human anatomy.

Otherwise, other senior brothers and sisters from the Jade Burning Fire Sect may have mastered some of the secrets of Jade Fire Body Tempering, but most people would probably not be able to imagine Thain's method of body tempering.

Carrying out physical training experiments in the laboratory is painful and accompanied by torture.

Experimenting with one's own body is indeed not something worth admiring.

Many magicians are extremely cautious when conducting experiments on themselves.

Because experiments are accompanied by risks, and magicians are rational people, under normal circumstances, no one will make fun of themselves.

Only a young magician like Thain, who is determined and ruthless in his bones, dares to directly conduct experiments on his own body.

Of course, what's more important is that before lying on the experimental table, Thain thought clearly about the before and after, and believed that the cost was within his acceptable range.

High risk means high reward.

Thain wants to travel to the Western Islands as soon as possible. In a cruel place like the Black Domain where black magicians are infested, how can he do it without sufficient strength.

From the first to the seventh time of the body-training experiment, there were problems of varying degrees. These problems were generally minor. Only one time was more costly. That was the fourth time, when the giant experimental instrument burned a small blood hole in Thane's shoulder.

The experiment went wrong, which frightened Selina, and she refused to continue helping Thain with such "dangerous experiments".

Fortunately, Irene returned to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin in time and took over Selina's work.

As a first-level magician, Erin has higher mental power and more precise control over subtle operations.

Moreover, the wisdom of a first-level magician also allows Erin to discuss with Thane during the experiment to improve the feasibility of the experiment.

Sure enough, after Irene took over the fifth body-refining experiment, the subsequent experiment process became smoother.

Until the eighth body refining experiment started, there were almost no major problems on the surface. Various data and Thain's body feedback all marked the feasibility of this passive evolution plan.

…

In the laboratory.

The huge roar of the experimental equipment gradually disappeared. The huge conical experimental equipment above the giant laboratory was slowly raised, and the liquid in the jar filled with special solvents next to it was also consumed.

After using the crystal ball to record the relevant experiment log, today's body refining experiment has come to a temporary end.

There was a rather pungent smell in the air, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The smell is indeed not very pleasant, and Eileen even concluded through research and testing that the special solvents used in Thain's body training seem to be harmful to human cells.

Including the "Bi Glaze" that has been designated as a second-level strategic material by the Holy Tower of Jade Burning Fire, it does not blend well with the flesh and blood of humans in the wizarding world.

Just because Thain has mastered the Jade Fire Magic, he is more resistant to the harmful substances in the Jade Glaze.

But harmful substances are harmful substances. When Thain chose this extremely risky and vaguely harmful way to improve his strength, Irene's face was full of solemnity and confusion.

"I just don't understand why you have to use such a dangerous way to improve yourself."

"Were you working so hard during your apprenticeship?" After roughly handling the experimental equipment, Irene walked to Thain in front of the experimental table and asked.

At this time, Thain was still naked, but they were an old married couple, and Thain didn't look embarrassed.

Some special marks after the experiment appeared on Thane's body. These marks are similar to scars, but not. In addition to Thane's physical fitness, which has been significantly improved in the past dozen experiments, his body's elemental affinity has also been greatly enhanced.

Taking a deep breath, and after the pain on his body gradually subsided, Thane sat up, picked up a loose black magic robe from the side and put it on.

Regarding Erin's question, Thain did not answer for a while.

He is indeed different from ordinary magicians. It is estimated that few madmen would do this kind of almost desperate approach.

In fact, the magicians in the wizarding world are often criticized as "madmen" by alien creatures due to their eccentric personalities and their tendency to dissect and study other creatures.

Thane is nothing but a lunatic among lunatics.

"I'm just used to this, and the experimental results prove that this body quenching method is feasible." Thain replied.

"Is it feasible? Using dozens or even hundreds of years of life in exchange for periodic strength improvements?" Irene asked with a frown. She obviously didn't agree with Thain's point of view.

"No one will live forever. The theoretical lifespan of a first-level magician is one thousand years, but many magicians have died before they reach that age." Thain said casually.

Thain's words caused Irene to fall into silence.

She thought of her friends, and also of those first-level magicians of the Jade Source Holy Tower who died in the poisonous green flame world battlefield.

Many of them have just been promoted to the first level. In terms of lifespan, they do still have a lot of time to waste in the future.

But the fact is that they died in the poisonous green flame world. Perhaps only the corpses and ashes were brought back, or even the ashes no longer existed.

Why did they die there? In addition to extremely bad luck, the fundamental factor is lack of strength.

The war in the poisonous fire and green flame world is not an arduous battle.

Due to the strength of the wizard civilization army participating in the war, almost the entire war was pushed forward smoothly and ended smoothly.

There are just some surprises and obstacles in the mid-term.

Most of the magicians in the wizarding world who died in the poisonous green flame world were newcomers participating in the plane war for the first time.

There is a shortage of experience and insufficient strength.

On the contrary, the loss rate of those veteran first-level and above magicians is even less than 5%, which actually explains a lot of problems.
