Chapter 698: Chapter 417: Magic Equations, Ascending to the Planetary Stage

"Before a caster can use a particular spell, they must first engrave this spell in their consciousness, or store the power of the spell in a magic item."

"Once you have a basic understanding of spells, you can begin to formally study the principles of magic."

"The spatial anchoring theory of the spell core, the non-linear fluctuation interpretation of rune energy, the analytic continuation and stability maintenance of magic power in the complex plane, the gauge field theory followed by the circulation of magic power and its corresponding fiber bundle geometric expressions..."

......

Just by roughly browsing and understanding these basic theoretical descriptions, Galos felt a dizzying headache.

It was as if countless abstract symbols and formulas were colliding and exploding in his mind.

"Choosing to first focus on tempering the body and power, instead of plunging headlong into the ocean of spells, now seems to have been a wise decision," he couldn’t help but think with relief.

In the field of magic, talent and comprehension are paramount.

The countless principles involved are abstract and profound, similar to the advanced mathematical knowledge Galos had encountered in his previous life.

The understanding is clear-cut.

Either you get it or you don’t, there are no shortcuts or lucky chances.

For example, the seemingly basic and simple stable casting of a [Fireball Technique].

Its internal energy structure is actually a precise and multidimensional rune sequence combination constructed with comprehensive consideration of factors like energy dissipation rate, environmental element density, and negative feedback inhibition mechanisms.

The relative position of each rune, the intensity and timing of energy injection, directly determine the spell’s final power, effect range, flight speed, and potential energy backlash risk if casting fails.

"A complete spell, from construction to release, is akin to solving a high-dimensional equation involving multiple complex variables such as the caster’s own mental stability, surrounding environmental magic parameters, casting material catalysts, and syllable resonance efficiency of the incantation."

"Only by finding the correct ’solution’ can one stably master and cast it."

"Fortunately, the heritage provides relatively mature and stable standard solution ideas for most known conventional spells, those spell models verified by countless predecessors."

"As long as one can rely on their own understanding to successfully complete the first independent solution, they can mold a stable spell model, store it in their consciousness, and it will become much simpler to construct and cast next time."

"However, this first independent solution is often the most difficult step."

Galos silently summarized and sorted out the core points of spell learning in his mind.

For official one-ring and above spells, their learning difficulty is roughly equivalent to advanced mathematics in his previous life, becoming increasingly complex and profound.

While a zero-ring illusion like [Cleaning Technique] has difficulty roughly equivalent to high school mathematics, it is the first step into the hall of magic.

Starting from the most basic theories, Galos spent an entire day successfully mastering the Cleaning Technique.

This speed is neither fast nor slow, it is at a normal average level.

This also means he has not shown any special talent in magic and is similar to a normal red dragon or iron dragon.

Meanwhile, a question arose in Galos’s heart.

"Can my inherited adaptability talent apply to this kind of knowledge-based magic learning process?"

"If the answer is negative, then the path of learning spells will inevitably require an extremely long time, unable to see significant leap progress in a relatively short time like physical training."

Thinking of this, Galos slowly exhaled a hot breath which condensed into a white mist in the cold air.

The study of magic is indeed fraught with difficulties, but the conveniences and possibilities it can bring are undeniable facts.

Galos is unwilling to be just a brute who only charges forward relying on brute strength.

Ultimately, he made a decision.

No matter what his talent in magic truly is, from now on, when he reaches the limits of high-intensity physical training and requires a short rest, he can no longer simply empty his mind as before.

He will utilize this fragmented time to continuously study and research spell knowledge.

This is a way to exercise mental resilience and thinking ability, and also to test whether his adaptative talent can equally be effective in the realm of knowledge comprehension.

"Squeezing one’s physical limits and mental potential at the same time, huh? Hehe, this challenge is quite difficult, but also interesting."

A sharp gleam flashed in Galos’s eyes as he issued a heavy internal challenge to himself.

Immediately, the Red Iron Dragon resumed its daily ceaseless arduous training amidst the wind and snow.

During the brief resting moments in his training intervals, his mind was no longer blank.

Those complex and exquisite spell principles and rune structures constantly surfaced in his mind.

Time flowed quietly like water.

After the conquest of the Northeast Region, the exact location of its earth vein core, and the Abyssal Rift suppressed by the Mountain King, have already been successfully located by Samantha and the warlock corps she led.

At the same time, some intelligent creature tribes that were originally scattered across the wilderness have been attracted by the growing prestige of the King of Molten Iron, coming forward to seek allegiance, further expanding the size and diversity of the Molten Iron Tribe’s followers, making the tribe’s governance and control of this vast and wild land more comprehensive and deep.
