Chapter 1639: Rule Mapping Diagram: The Impulse to Change Careers

Inside the Xiu Xi Shi, Xia Duo saw it clearly: although the two people in the center of the venue were communicating in the form of a debate, the atmosphere was not at all confrontational; instead, it was very harmonious, looking exactly like the scene of students in a Middle School discussing problems in Xia Duo's memory.

Soon, the debate between Beilaila and that unknown Seven Towers Mage drew to a close; although both sides failed to fully convince each other, they had also sublimated their own viewpoints through the continuous debate.

As the moderator, Beilaila clearly showed joy on her face, because she knew she was the person in the venue most likely to be called upon to answer questions or debate.

"Everyone, next, let us invite—"

Beilaila was just about to say the name of the next Mage to take the stage to speak, but she stopped abruptly at this moment, and her expression, which was already showing joy, became even more excited as she announced loudly:

"Lord Xia Duo has arrived, and he has a critique of the viewpoint just put forward by Mage Wozi!"

As soon as the words fell, the people at the scene immediately began to whisper to each other, but none of them made any sound; the Lan Bai Xing hall did not forbid Spellcasting, and almost everyone chose to use Sending to communicate.

At the same time, in the center of the venue, at the Lan Bai Xing podium where Beilaila was located, a point of blue starlight appeared out of thin air, and then transformed into countless star points, forming a simple and logically rigorous Arcane Geometry diagram.

Although not everyone present was an Arcanist, those who could come to attend the exchange meeting at least had the intention or desire in this regard; as a prerequisite subject for Advanced Arcanist, the vast majority of these people had some understanding of Arcane Geometry.

Not to mention those High Mages who had already reached the threshold of advancement; if they did not understand Arcane Geometry, it was practically no different from being "magic-illiterate."

Wozi, who had just spoken, was one of them; as a High Mage, interpreting Arcane Geometry diagrams had already become one of his instincts.

Upon seeing those mysterious diagrams that appeared in the center of the venue—which might seem profound and inexplicable to ordinary people—he did not need to think at all, subconsciously converting them into corresponding Spellcasting elements, and even the Spell effects corresponding to those elements—

"This—is simply a miracle!"

As a quasi-Arcanist who had chosen to delve into the field of Magic Net String transformation from the very beginning, Wozi could not be said to be ignorant of the transformation rules of the Magic Net String, but now, seeing such exquisite and concise transformation rules, he felt that his past life had been lived in vain!

No, not lived in vain; if not for his past accumulation, how could he have the opportunity to sit here now and witness this miracle that could be called great!

At this moment, Wozi was incomparably excited; seeing this Arcane Geometry diagram, he felt as if he had seen the truth, and there were several other Arcanists who had already chosen their research directions who were similar to him.

For example, Beilaila, You Di Er, and Wa Luo Ke; except for Beilaila, who had known Xia Duo earlier, You Di Er and Wa Luo Ke had only come for his reputation this time.

And now, they saw a brand-new rule in the field of Magic Net String transformation, which meant that a series of new Spells and new theories would inevitably be derived from these rules.

Even if their original research directions were not Magic Net String transformation, at this moment, they had the idea of changing their research directions.

This was not an impulse stirred up for a moment, but a truly, well-considered thought.

Like You Di Er, the research direction he had chosen was the Plane Domain, or to be more specific, the Teleportation Domain within the Plane Domain.

Although the Morien Tower where he was located had deep accumulation in the Teleportation Domain, the more this was the case, the harder it was for him to achieve results.

As an Arcanist, as long as one did not die, one would inevitably become a Great Arcanist, but how much sense of achievement could a Great Arcanist achieved in this way have?

Moreover, the Morien Tower was not like the other six great towers of the Seven Towers; within the Morien Tower, academic achievement was highly valued, and if one could not make breakthrough results, it was almost impossible to become the Controller of the Morien Tower.

The contemporary Controller of the Morien Tower, Great Arcanist Lan Di Er, was only able to ascend to the position because he had achieved breakthrough results in the research of Supreme Magic.

But Supreme Magic ultimately came from the Elf, and You Di Er wanted to make a breakthrough in the field of Netheril Magic more.

Right now, he saw an opportunity; he discovered that the rule mapping diagram of Magic Net String transformation expressed by Arcane Geometry given by Lord Xia Duo had an application and development prospect that was definitely higher than the Teleportation Domain.

Not to mention anything else, just from the conception alone, a distinction in quality was already made.

It was just that—

That Lord Xia Duo could give this rule mapping diagram at the exchange meeting without any concern meant that the other party had long since achieved more results in the relevant field.

This was a major problem placed squarely in front of You Di Er.

Should he change his career? He worried that he would always be following behind others, not even being able to eat the dust; but if he didn't change, this unprecedented rule mapping diagram was constantly tempting him!

"Let's look again, wait until the exchange meeting is over!"

There were not a few people who had the same thoughts as him; the exchange meeting had only just begun, and such big news had already exploded; what would appear later simply made people feel itchy in their hearts.

……

At the same time, those Mages who could not understand or could not interpret this rule mapping diagram in a short time, upon seeing the Arcanists and High Mages they usually could only look up to showing expressions of great shock and eagerness to hide their joy after seeing this diagram, could guess the gist of it.

"Good stuff! Write it down first!"

For a time, there was nothing left in the venue but the rustling sound of pen tips sliding across paper, and bursts of slightly heavy breathing.

And in the Xiu Xi Shi, Xia Duo kept maintaining that rule mapping diagram projected into the venue until most people stopped writing, and only then did he dispel it.

That diagram was nothing else, but a partial rule mapping from the Energy Equation Spell; if someone were willing to study it deeply, they might be able to discover the Energy Equation Spell.

Of course, it was more likely that they would discover the Application of this part of the rules in other fields; after all, the Energy Equation exhausted all Energy Spells, and it was impossible to reverse-engineer it just through this bit of Magic Net String transformation rules.

However, if a Mage who deeply studied Energy Spells obtained this part of the rules, and then combined it with a large number of Energy Spell examples to abstract the rules at a higher level, it was indeed possible to obtain the Energy Equation.

But if a Mage could really do that, whether or not they had this part of the rules was irrelevant; at most, it would just save a little time.

Xia Duo himself did not obtain this part of the Magic Net String transformation rules first and then obtain the Energy Equation, but rather obtained the Equation first, then found this part of the rules from it, and then converted it into a mapping diagram as a critique of the just-mentioned Mage Wozi—of course, more importantly, as a supplement.

It could be expected that for a considerable period in the future, the Tower of Time would be short of people, especially High Mages who could not be cultivated in a short time.

Even if there was no shortage of people in the future, introducing excellent talent would be a long-term, unchanging basic policy of the Tower of Time.
