She shook her head. "The body and mind are one," she said. "And to use magic, you need to be attuned to the magical Realms from which you draw Essence, but also to the natural world you try to manipulate."

That’s basically what I was thinking it’s frustrating how our mc’s laziness is rewarded like this all the time.

"That is the first step on the True Path," Snowcloud replied with a smile. "Your body and your control of Essence are fundamentally linked, and by infusing your body with Purified Essence, you can strengthen your magical power."

But the point is, is that he needs strength of any kind many times he tells himself “I Need to be stronger” it is literally a matter of life and death and herbalism would make him stronger. It doesn’t matter that he isn’t interested that is totally fine. The issue is the author has depicted our mc as someone determined to survive and get stronger whenever he can yet he is presented with something to clearly help him and he ignores the shit out of it. He doesn’t need to be an expert he just needs to learn.

As they higher into the mountains, the trees grew sparser, and the landscape gradually changed from its previous lush green into a rocky gray, with patches of grass and moss eventually being the only green left — which, to Arran's joy, meant there were no more opportunities for Snowcloud to teach him about herbalism.

I mean it makes sense. It really feels like he is ungrateful and even if he isn’t interested he should at least realize how valuable herbalism is I mean the mc has just been one disappointment after the other after the tournament started like any character growth we thought he had has vanished. Almost like the author thought he made him too strong at the end of book one and is trying to make him weaker by throwing a bunch of bs into the mix. Just feels like it could be better is all.

To Arran, all the plants still looked the same, and the main thing he had learned so far was that he had no interest in herbalism whatsoever.

But these are people his age that are like this. And how are these people who probably don’t have any connection to the major powers so strong? The academy uses the wrong “pillar” or whatever bs excuse was used because that would mean they are stupid weak in reality and how would that make them a manor power? So how are these seemingly random people with no connections strong enough to beat grandmasters of the academy when they arent even adepts?

He had lost, without even getting the chance to fight in the final stage outside the city. All his worries about showing his true strength had been for naught — as it turned out, his true strength was nowhere near enough.

I might honestly drop this novel because of this stupid shit. Like there is no reason for this and the power levels are all over the place. There was no reason for this fight to go the way it did with the experience our mc has instincts is a weak excuse .

Onviously because the mc had seemed to prove be was smarter than this. like this isn’t his first fucking fight he has a good amount of combat experience and there is no reason this should happen other than the author made it. At this point this is a mistake that there was zero reason for. That’s what makes this frustrating like our mc wasn’t this stupid even when he had his first swordfight against the bandits.

He shook his head in disgust at his own foolishness.

No he did want to lose but only after a few fights. In fact I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to use any magic at all but but what confuses me is what’s with all this panic shit? He’s fought much more dangerous battles so he has a lot of fighting experience at least enough not to panic in a non lethal fight like this makes it seem like he’s never been in a fight before

The man staggered back a pace, dazed from the impact, and before he could recover Arran rushed toward him, first striking his face again with the pommel of the sword, then unleashing the most powerful Battering Force he could muster at the man.

I like that his parents are friends but if I’m honest I’d much orefer this pushes his parents to get back together just because in general ****** really weirds me out, and while this excuse of cultivating works for their decision I feel like it might be to much to have her become “his woman”. Either way I’ll still read it because this story is actually really good even if there are things I disagree with.

I’m at 97 right now and I kind of see your point. We find out that there are different ways to advance as a mage using multiple techniques and stuff it gets oretty complicated but it isn’t to bad at this point although it’s weird because the scale of things is so large and our mc is an ant compared to everything happening around him but I’ll stick with it a bit longer

At any other time that would have been a welcome change, but right now, Arran knew what it meant: that the raw Essence of the Realm Opening Pills was beginning to run out.

Did you forget like literally last chapter or the one before that guy he freed said any more pills would kill arran?

Don’t know if you’ll respond but I was curious why Arran didn’t even seem to bother looking at the other realms Zhao gave him? It was kinda frustrating that it seems he forgot that. So far though this story is definitely enjoyable so thanks for that.

But that also goes with this force realm and who is to say zhao didn’t leave him a force realm either? Also like another reply mentioned his own forbidden realm would probably be better. Feels like the author just wants to force this choice on Arran or forgot about this plothole.

With a sigh, he took out Panurge's void bag. He had long avoided this moment, but now, he knew that he was out of options.

What do you mean to soon? I’d much rather see this romance develop throughout however many chapters this is than wait 800 chapters for the first kiss which only happens after a love interest is reintroduced as a damsel. Like when there is romance in these novels I would at least like it to feel important.

Finally, he leaned forward, putting his arm around her and pulling her close as he kissed her. The kiss lasted for some moments, and when they parted, Arran could feel his heart racing in his chest.

I wouldn’t really say tsundere just overwhelmed. Hopefully this type of behavior doesn’t really continue but we’ll see.

I think it’s more that he really is useless. Like what could he do to help them? Also it would be safer for them the farther away he was because he is their target and him fleeing would draw them away from the other students. Like I get his intetnion but he should know his limits.

Master Zhao had told them to flee and hide, but Arran followed Adept Kadir. He knew that the Academy was there for him, and he could not bring himself to hide while others died in his stead.

Like this actually pusses me off. You would think he would learn to be careful by now like there have been like two or three times were he was like oh shit I better be careful.

Seeing the Academy mages, Arran froze in fear. He had dreaded this moment for months, and now, just when he thought he was finally safe, it had arrived.
