I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 57 - 57 057 Breeding Witchcraft and Chen-style Flexibility

?Chapter 57: 057 Breeding Witchcraft and Chen-style Flexibility Skill Chapter 57: 057 Breeding Witchcraft and Chen-style Flexibility Skill After a new Wizard’s awakening, they enter a state where their emotions are particularly active, which clearly helps them quickly master witchcraft; however, if they cannot control these overly active emotions, it can end up scorching their willpower.

If their willpower is devoured by emotions, the new Wizard will turn into a weakened version of a Sorcerer Zombie.

But Lin An seemed a bit special, his emotions appeared excessively active.

Lin An speculated that it might be due to his ability to glimpse the Spirit Realm, either because he was affected by more Spirit World Aura, or because of the suppressed state he had been in for too long, he might have already been in the process of emotional consumption of his willpower.

Either way, finding a way to control his emotions was the only solution.

Luckily, he had the help of his spiritual aspect.

Chen Xinmi planned to use his joining of the ‘Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole’ organization to observe the situation of the Male Witch Organization and perhaps also wanted to see what role Mr. Liu played in the transition from a Male Witch Organization to a Dark Witch Organization.

This was a huge pitfall.

She watched coldly and was unwilling to lend Lin An a helping hand, but her spiritual black cat explained everything very clearly with its meows.

“Meow~”

——The methods of Shenhou City’s two major Witch Organizations were different.

——The ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’ Organization used ‘Cultivated Witchcraft.’ They required a very magical golden camellia tree from within their organization, from which a branch would be cut and planted in a pot, watered daily with their emotions to help sort through them. After a year of nurturing, the camellia tree would begin to bloom, and those flowers would be special materials for witchcraft.

——However, the ‘Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole’ did not give away the grafts for free. Newcomers needed to complete missions and contribute to the organization. Nowadays, since they began practicing Dark Witchcraft extensively, many of the missions were quite evil.

——Also, due to the problems with Dark Witchcraft, there was an increasing lack of trust within the Tree Hole. The task of approaching the golden camellia tree to cut a branch was given to Mr. Liu, who was not a Wizard by identity. He might deliberately give you a branch with a low survival rate. This means you might have to repeat tasks multiple times before you can successfully grow the camellia tree.

——The ‘Witches’ Gathering’ organization’s method is the ‘Chen-style Flexibility Skill,’ which releases emotional fluctuations through the method of harshly destroying the body. The downside is that it is difficult to learn, and it’s not as easy as growing flowers. But the benefit is that the power of emotions is completely transformed into improvements in flexibility, vitality, endurance, and other aspects of the body.

——It is because of the ‘Chen-style Flexibility Skill’ that the witches with their superior physical conditions have easily entered the yoga studio industry.

Damn!

Lin An thought the black cat had revealed some kind of cultivation trick for him to secretly practice on his own, but he hadn’t expected such content.

This…

It seems knowing it is of no use at all.

No, even worse, because of the information analysis that Chen Xinmi knew, including the evil tasks set by the Dark Sorcerers and Mr. Liu’s involvement, Lin An felt even more despair.

Difficult!

It was too difficult!

It seemed he had no choice but to watch a large pit in front of him and jump into it directly?

The black cat was still speaking.

——There’s another way, she suspects you might be an undercover agent for the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order. If you really are, you can seek help from the Witch Hunter Knights. They’ve killed so many Wizards, they’ve seized so many treasures and witchcraft research notes, they must have a way to help you.

Ha~

I wish!

Seek help from the Witch-hunting Knights? No, that’s a death wish!

Chen Xinmi apparently was out of patience, urging Lin An to quickly sign the ‘Witch Secrecy Pact.’ She promised Chen Shuyun she wouldn’t hassle Lin An privately; today’s visit was purely official.

Pushing Wild Sorcerers who are outside of organizations to sign the secrecy agreement protects the safety of the witch community. Those who refuse to sign are subjected to a recorded interrogation asked three times, and if they still refuse, they must be killed on the spot.

That was the rule, but obviously no one is that foolish.

So she was growing even less patient.

Of course, Lin An had no reason to refuse. After confirming with the black cat that the contract had no hidden traps, he followed her instructions and placed his hand on the document.

Mentally reciting the phrase ‘I agree to the Witch Secrecy Pact,’ the vines on the document crawled up his arm, and with a flash of golden light visible in reality, it was done.

Putting the document back in the envelope, Chen Xinmi stood up, clearly not wanting to waste more words, or perhaps her cigarette was finished.

Lin An had a vague feeling that Chen Xinmi’s cigarette might be a very covert casting method. When the powerful witch appeared at Professor Cao’s doorstep — a seasoned Antler Witch Hunter Knight — without alerting him, she was able to comfortably release that terrible explosion witchcraft.

“Just like that, take care of yourself!”

Chen Xinmi headed straight out, but her pace gradually slowed until she eventually stopped.

Lin An got up to see her off but paused when he saw her halt, “Is there anything else?”

Swinging around in a twirl, Chen Xinmi turned back, folding her arms across her chest and squinting at Lin An, silent.

The black cat explained on the side.

“Meow~”

——She promised Chen Shuyun not to bother you and to let Chen Shuyun handle it herself. But suddenly, she realized that Chen Shuyun hadn’t come to find you, wondering if her sister was too embarrassed to face you.

——She was getting a bit annoyed by the delay, feeling that this was letting you off too easy. You need to be careful, she has always been worried that your portraits could be used by others to curse her, and now her subconscious emotions are starting to affect her.

Really?

Is this what being a wizard is like?

One moment conducting business impartially, though cold, without too much personal bias. The next, a change of face?

Even Chen Xinmi, such a powerful wizard, can’t easily control her own emotions?

Lin An pursed his lips, his expression calm as he looked at Chen Xinmi, placing his hand on the head resting on the table and letting its spiritual blood flow into his fingertips. With a light flick of his right hand, the red string fell.

So what if I can’t win? Should I just give up?

No!

Lin An has never believed in fate.

If he was to die, it had to be after fighting with all his might, not waiting powerlessly for death to come.

Even, if there was truly no power left to resist, he would use those spiritual assisting ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ again, to bring about the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order.

If I am to die, we’ll die together!

“I want to warn you about something…”

Chen Xinmi’s voice was a bit hoarse and deep, aggressive, “You might have a talent for painting, but drawing me onto an animal’s portrait without my consent, and a bothersome cat at that, is clearly a challenge to my bottom line.”

The black cat glowered at Chen Xinmi, clearly displeased.

“Meow~”

——Miao Miao is not annoying, Miao Miao is very cute, meow.

“Next time, it won’t just be a warning!”

As she spoke, the corners of her dark red lips curved up slightly. She gently lifted the hat from her hand, and her starry phoenix eyes glittered as she looked at Lin An.

“Roar~”

A roar like that of a wild beast erupted.

The beastly sound came through, as if a wild beast had pounced, different from Mr. Liu’s Spiritual Grey Wolf’s howl. The roaring sound carried a terrifying anger, as if it could shred one’s heart to pieces.

It made one feel suffocated.

At Chen Xinmi’s level of power, some witchcrafts weren’t like those of beginners, grandiose and showy, but could be as inconspicuous as the fluctuations of Innate Witchcraft.

Intimidation.

A simple application of primordial emotional witchcraft, with an incredibly effective result.

Coming from such a powerful witch, ordinary people were one thing, but even average witches with unstable minds might be scared to the point of wetting themselves.

The kind of wetting themselves from fear, their minds intimidated as if branded by a red-hot iron, causing an automatic fear response at the thought of doing anything similar in the future.

This was even beyond what the contract drawn up by her sister Chen Shuyun, which mentioned ‘not to bother Lin An,’ comprehended. (Chapter 47)

Heh~

That foolish sister, thinking she could restrict me like that?

Heh~

And this foolish man, actually daring to be infatuated with me, even thinking of me while painting? Don’t think I don’t know what dirty thoughts you men have about women!

Do you think my Innate Witchcraft ‘Mind Reading’ is a joke? If it wasn’t for the past experiences where I was thoroughly disgusted by other people’s filthy thoughts, to the point where I felt the whole world was dirty, would I deliberately avoid using my Innate Witchcraft, a skill with almost no magical fluctuations?

Heh~

But oh, I have had so much experience with mind reading in the past that I can tell what you’re thinking with just a glance.

Acting like a block of wood, but actually, your eyes are very active. Did you think I didn’t see you stealthily peeking at my chest when I opened the door?

Are you that malnourished? Are you an orphan? Didn’t your mother feed you when you were little?

Chen Xinmi watched Lin An with a cold laugh, ready to see this newbie, not even worthy of being called a wizard-apprentice, embarrass himself, to watch him develop a deep-seated fear of her, to stop himself from having any improper thoughts about her, to watch him…

Him…

Chen Xinmi suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
