Chapter 275 - 275 238 Academic School vs. Adventure Faction

?Chapter 275: Chapter 238: Academic School vs. Adventure Faction Chapter 275: Chapter 238: Academic School vs. Adventure Faction “Why?” asked Ash, somewhat surprised. “Isn’t your mentor a Three-winged Holy Sanctuary Mage? How could she not know about the Time Continent?”

“There are two reasons for this.”

Sonia held up her index finger. “First, compared to the data in the Sea of Knowledge, books introducing the Time Continent only make up one tenth. Not only are there far fewer Two-winged Mages than One-winged Mages, but more importantly, compared to the Void Realm, mages place more emphasis on advancing their faction realm. They also prefer to create silver tomes and golden secret texts about how to elevate their faction realms.”

“For example, in the library, there are thirty rows of shelves filled with books on the Sword Skill, covering different areas such as summoning Technique Spirits, combat, production, and more. By contrast, there are only two rows of books describing the Sea of Knowledge, and even fewer books on the Time Continent—just a few dozen.”

“Mages like us who reap rewards in the Void Realm every night are just too few, rare enough to be considered an exception. For common mages, the Void Realm is merely a place for absorbing Magic Power and cultivating combat skills. They don’t expect any extra gains in the Void Realm but hope to acquire more Technique Spirits through advancing their faction realm and using the trading platforms, thereby constructing a Technique Spirit system that suits themselves.”

“Once their faction realm is promoted to a higher level, they will ascend to a higher layer of the Void Realm and then repeat the process. If it weren’t for the fact that every layer of the Void Realm forces mages to explore and move around, I’m sure many would be content to stay in one place, peacefully absorbing Magic Power every night.”

“Second,” Sonia held up her middle finger, “my mentor is a genius. She left the Time Continent and reached the Distant Realm in just four years. She has been at the academy for four years and still occasionally forgets where her office is, let alone the Time Continent.”

Ash sighed, understanding that this was the rift between the Academic School mages and those of the adventure faction.

It’s like people who won’t rebel as long as they’re well-fed, or the fact that more people save in fixed deposits than speculate on funds; mages naturally vote with their feet, finding their own comfort zones.

It’s quite understandable, really. Rather than pinning their hopes on the unpredictable Void Realm, mages would rather invest in themselves. At least what they can control. For Academic School mages, although relentlessly advancing their faction realm requires effort and talent, the path to advancement is stable. And as long as they can improve their faction realm, there’s no bottleneck, after all, both fools and geniuses absorb Magic Power at the same efficiency in the Void Realm.
