Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Direction of the Future
Furrowing his brows, William set aside his considerations about the Second Prince, redirecting his attention to his own strength enhancement.
Recently, he had completed a Silver-rank extermination commission, and with the experience reward from the battle against Camus, he had been able to level up to over level 40.
This exceeded his expectations. It seemed he should be able to break through level 50 and become a Silver Mage before the start of the Annual Holy Festival.
Moreover, he had acquired many powerful skills and specialties, smoothly adding the lucky brooch of Arcadia, a treasure he had planned for, into his collection.
Logically, he should have nothing to worry about, right? But indeed, there was a problem that lay ahead, and it was very important for his future.
That problem was the Arcane Subsystem.
As he developed more and more exclusive arcanes, William gradually deepened his understanding of the entire arcane subsystem.
He could confirm that his arcane subsystem had changed significantly compared to what gamers had in his previous life.
In the past, gamers using the arcane subsystem were more about trying their luck, randomly adjusting the magic patterns and elemental particles in the spell model to piece together new spell models.
It could be said there was no technical content; almost every new arcane was developed by sheer luck.
However, William found that his arcane subsystem was different, perhaps because he had come to the real "Gods Apocalypse" game?
In the process of developing arcanes before, he clearly felt that each spell model had its inherent rules, not as disordered and illogically pieced together as in the past.
When using the arcane subsystem, he truly felt the characteristics of each elemental particle: the explosiveness of fire, the softness of water, the agility of air, and the solidity of earth.
And in the spell model, he truly touched the underlying logic of the spell model. With just a light touch, the magic patterns and elemental particles would arrange and combine according to his will.
He also understood the source of each spell model\'s power.
Why the spell model of Fireball could condense fire elements to form a fireball and attack the enemy.
How the spell model of Elemental Shield formed a shield by condensing and combining the power of elemental particles to block enemy attacks.
He felt that only by understanding all these secrets could he truly master the power of each spell.
The affinity between different elemental particles, why magic patterns could better conduct magical power and stimulate the characteristics of elemental particles, and so on.
These were just the basics. Just the characteristics of the four fundamental elemental particles of earth, water, fire, and wind, and how to constrain them within the spell model, were enough to challenge him.
Not to mention the higher-level applications, such as the compatibility issues in multi-element magic spell model sequences and elemental particles, how to leverage higher special elements with basic elements, such as light, death, space elements, etc.
This reminded him of the hot and painful period in the last semester of his senior year in high school, with textbooks and tutoring materials piled up like mountains on the desk in front of him.
And there was a significant difference from his past life in gaming: learning professional knowledge for players was just a change in character data, not truly learning how to cast spells like Fireball.
But for him, it was different. When he acquired "Bobaka\'s Arcane Notes," he found that relevant knowledge truly appeared in his mind.
However, there was also a hidden danger: the knowledge that appeared in his mind was something he just remembered, not something he could use proficiently.
For example, suppose he had never encountered mathematics before.
Suddenly, if the god of mathematics instilled the knowledge of 2×3=6 into his mind, he would remember this piece of knowledge.
If he were presented with the question 2×3=?, he could immediately answer 6.
But what if the question was 3×2=?
He would hesitate for a moment before realizing the answer was also 6.
The more complex the knowledge, the harder it was to fully master.
So, his current understanding of magic knowledge in his mind was still at the level of knowing, and there was a long way to go before integrating and mastering it completely.
For a mage, knowledge was power!
For an arcane practitioner, knowledge was the foundation of their life!
If William had been content with just using the corresponding spells without delving deeper, that would have been one thing.
However, in the realm of the arcane, William wanted to continue down this legendary path more smoothly and farther. Merely knowing wasn\'t enough!
Therefore, William faced two paths:
The first path was like those in his previous life who had the arcane subsystem, to rely on luck and happenstance in developing arcanes.
The advantage was the full utilization of the system without the need for expending experience points, allowing for rapid improvement in strength and arcane level in a short time, as he had done before.
The second path was to start from scratch, to grasp every bit of magic knowledge, starting from the basics and slowly climbing towards the temple of knowledge.
This path would undoubtedly slow down his progress in the arcane arts initially, but it would allow him to proceed more steadily and go further.
Come on, was there even a choice?
It had to be the second path! William was not just aiming to survive in the upcoming turbulent times but to reach the legendary realm that no player in his previous life ever touched.
Hard work? Tiredness? Boredom?
In front of the temptation of mastering power, these meant nothing!
Let\'s do it!
Was it just about working hard?
he, Power Leveler William, Was he afraid of this?

Canlight City, Fis Street.
In a secluded alley, a modest two-story building stood quietly.
The only difference between this building and its surroundings was the four-meter-high wall that surrounded it tightly, without a gate, as if hiding something.
This alley, rarely visited by people, became even more ignored when passersby walked past this building, as if the building didn\'t exist.
Suddenly, a figure in a black cloak emerged from a side alley, breaking the quiet of the moment.
The figure in black looked around, making sure no one was near, then quietly approached the wall and tapped on it lightly in a specific rhythm.
After a brief wait, ripples appeared on the surface of the wall in front of the figure, which then slowly became translucent.
The figure in black walked straight through the wall.
As the figure quickly crossed the wall and entered the yard in front of the building, two shield-like figures appeared in front of him.
Two guards in grey armor, likely Silver Warriors by their aura, blocked his way.
Without speaking, the guards simply stared at the figure in black.
As if any wrong word or action would lead them to instantly slay the figure on the spot.
