Chapter 196 Zanna's Dilemma, The So-Called Age Gap
"Everything originated from the primordial chaos. Although the chaos element I used isn't the primordial chaos, it is still very powerful. Using every magic spell in this world is still easy even if it's a magic spell that could only be used by other races."
After Zanna explained the Chaos Formation Technique, Alister asked a question, "What about the aura training method? How can I generate aura and create aura rings?"
In response to Alister's question, Zanna retorted, "Shouldn't you focus on creating the mana core and magic circle first then become a Grand Mage? We still have a lot of time so with your talent, it shouldn't be difficult to reach Grand Mage."
As if realizing something, Zanna added, "If you are worried that your lifespan can't reach a hundred years, that's impossible. As long as you reach Master Mage, your lifespan can last for a thousand years even if you are a human. If you become a Grand Mage, living for two thousand years is easy."
"And if you are that worried, I still have various means to increase your lifespan such as converting your race into the Spirit Race by using a forbidden magic spell."
Zanna's words were filled with concern and it warmed Alister's heart.
However, that wasn't what Alister was worried about. With his talent, he could easily reach Grand Mage in just below three years and that was still a conservative estimate.
After all, the mana in the edge of the Mystic Forest was very abundant which made it a lot easier to perceive the mana in the surroundings and create a mana core and magic circles.
If it was in the outside world, it might have been more difficult to reach Grand Mage. Although difficult, it still wasn't impossible for Alister since with his talent, it was impossible to reach a bottleneck in his progress unless he lacked the method to increase his power.
At most, it would only take more than a decade and even if he lacked the method, he could still create his own method such as when he modified the technique to become an Astral Constellation. Although he used a reference at that time which made it a lot easier for him to create his own method, Alister was still confident that he could create his own method without any references and the only problem was time.
"Zanna, I am not worried about my lifespan since I am still 18 years old. But wouldn't it be more convenient for me to learn magic and aura training at the same time?"
Hearing Alister's question that wasn't boasting yet filled with confidence, Zanna knew that a monstrous heaven-defying talent like Alister was impatient and would prefer a method that would take a shorter amount of time to complete.
Furthermore, Zanna was indeed shocked to find out that Alister was only eighteen years old yet Alister already reached the power that was equivalent to 10th-Circle Mage. But she wasn't that surprised since his talent was indeed very monstrous to the point that the world itself limited Alister's talent.
However, Zanna had some interest in Alister but it did make her feel conflicted when she was a hundred thousand-year-old elemental spirit when Alister was only an eighteen-year-old human.
Although in this world, reaching thirteen years old was already considered an adult due to the experiences that one could get in this world would make it a lot faster for a child to mature when compared to Alister's past life earth.
And with how romantic the human race was, it wasn't farfetched for them to only be below a hundred years old yet take elves or dragons as their lover whose age was above a thousand years old.
The age gap was negligible in this world especially when it was normal for some races to live long. Because of that, those humans who had wedded a dragon would also choose to convert to the dragon race and become a dragon through the use of a forbidden magic spell so that they wouldn't die prematurely.
There were also cases when a human wedded an elemental spirit and to cope with that problem, it was Zanna herself who created the forbidden magic spell to convert a human into an elemental spirit. But after she left the spirit race, she had already made a copy of that forbidden magic spell and passed it to the current queen of the spirit race. nove)Lb(1n
'Age doesn't matter! It's just a number! What matters is that it's true love!'
'So what if Alister is younger than me by a hundred thousand years? It's the first time I have met someone compatible with me and I will never let go of this opportunity! Even if it's the Goddess of Fantasy herself, I will find a way to kill her if she ever dared to harm Alister!'
As if justifying herself, Zanna's thoughts had already been digressed.
Even Alister didn't expect that mentioning his age would cause a conflict in Zanna's mind.
But after regaining her composure, Zanna blushed and coughed to gather Alister's attention but also hide her embarrassment, "If you want to learn both magic and aura training, I won't stop you. But I still suggest that if you can't learn both of them at the same time, just focus on magic training first."
"Mages are more versatile than warriors so it's better to focus on learning magic first than aura."
In regards to Zanna's suggestion, Alister didn't disagree since he was still aware that Zanna was more knowledgeable than him when it came to this.
Noticing that Alister agreed with her, Zanna continued her lecture but this time, she taught him about aura and aura training, "Unlike mages that needed to perceive mana in the surroundings to create a mana core, warriors needed to train and push their body to the limits. Only when they could generate aura in their body that they could focus on strengthening their heart with aura until their heart is powerful enough to withstand pressure."
"Unlike mana that comes from nature, aura is an energy generated from the cells in the body."
