?Chapter 96: 089 Witch-hunting Knight taught me witchcraft_2 Chapter 96: 089 Witch-hunting Knight taught me witchcraft_2 “And then, Wizards go through a process where one of their Seven Emotions and Six Desires gets corrupted by Spiritual Energy, which in gaming terms, you’d call a class change.”

“From a normal person, change class to become a Wizard.”

“Got it? Once successful in the class change, you can start learning witchcraft. Wizards cast witchcraft by combining their Seven Emotions and Six Desires with Spiritual Energy, drawing upon the power of the Super Dimensional forces of the Spirit Realm. It also accelerates the process of becoming corrupted by Spiritual Energy.”

“So, the more diligently you cast witchcraft, the higher the degree of corruption and the stronger you become. Of course, the point at which you’re corrupted by Spiritual Energy becomes more exaggerated.”

“This is called improving proficiency and gaining experience, which can be used to add points to your own attributes.”

Wow~
You, a middle-aged fat uncle and also a Chinese medicine doctor, speak of this in quite a unique way.

Lin An listened with a quirky expression, as this was the easiest explanation for him to understand so far.

“When you add enough points to your attributes and skills, hey, you reach Second Transformation, your second class change.” Doctor Zhang chuckled, “This terminology is for your understanding, others don’t put it this way.”

Lin An nodded, unable to help but recall the version of himself wearing the clown mask, which said that it would turn into a Witch Zombie if it took on a monstrous or animal form when in possession of his body.

“After the Second Transformation, Wizards feel more adept at their witchcraft, and it seems as if the influence of the changes in their Seven Emotions and Six Desires has disappeared. ”
“But in fact, this is when it’s most dangerous, because it has gained sufficient nourishment of spirituality and no longer needs to express itself through the body; instead, it enters deep into the mind, influencing it subtly. ”
“It’s assimilating the soul, or rather, eroding the soul, leaving only an extreme form of one of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires in the Wizard’s psyche, thus fully initiating the process of corruption.”

As for what comes after the initiation of the corruption process, Doctor Zhang didn’t elaborate, just clapped his hands together and said to Lin An, “That’s why I said you’re not yet a Wizard; you haven’t even completed the class change to become a Wizard.”

“Otherwise, last night when you followed Lu to our slaughterhouse, you would have been discovered and killed by everyone.”

But…

I think I really did change classes.

Lin An thought of the ‘dizzy’ witchcraft and the ‘chase for thrills’ that it triggered within him.

It was clearly the level of ‘First Transformation’ as described by Doctor Zhang.

But why don’t I look like a Wizard?

He wasn’t very clear on that.

This didn’t seem like a bad thing.

“So, to disguise yourself as a Wizard, we should start in this direction,” Doctor Zhang instructed, “By the way, what’s your Innate Witchcraft?”

Eye of Spirituality!

But it’s too easy to associate that with the ‘Eyeball Witch Monster,’ so Lin An mentioned just one of its abilities, “I’m not sure what exactly it is, but I feel like if I concentrate, I can learn things especially quickly.”

Doctor Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then couldn’t help but whistle.

“Enhancing learning ability?”

“There is such an unusual Innate Witchcraft?”

“No wonder you learned the Breathing Skill so quickly, my goodness, I exclaim in awe, you’re using a Wizard’s Innate Witchcraft to help learn the Witch-hunting Knight’s Breathing Skill?”

“Show-off~”
Lin An scratched his head sheepishly, “That seems like cheating.”

“Bah, what’s wrong with that.” Doctor Zhang didn’t mind and just continued to guide him, “You really do need a witchcraft bracelet, that magical item allows you to release some greatly weakened witchcraft.”

“Take some time to self-learn the ‘Palm Flame’ witchcraft from the witchcraft notebook in your storage.”

“That witchcraft has the smallest influence on your Seven Emotions and Six Desires.”

Lin An nodded earnestly, showing he had taken note.

“You’re a wizard, and you have the aid of a witchcraft ring, so learning this kind of weak witchcraft is a piece of cake for you.”

“But I must remind you, once you’ve successfully cast it once, don’t practice it anymore; it still has an impact.”

“Palm Flame…” The name didn’t sound very powerful, but it seemed cool, and Lin An was already looking forward to it.

“Hehe, don’t get your hopes up too high,” Doctor Zhang said with a chuckle, “Wizards have a saying, there are no two identical witchcrafts in the world because witchcraft is born from the heart.”

“The witchcraft described in the notes is just a primitive template. Once you’ve learned it, it will add personal mark attributes to it, do you understand?”

“You are a wizard who hasn’t fully awakened yet, using a witchcraft ring to assist, it’s questionable whether you could even light a cigarette.”

Lin An just smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Then, it’s about guessing what you will become based on this innate witchcraft.”

“This innate witchcraft affects your ‘anger’ emotion, so when you’re disguising yourself as a wizard, you should often laugh, laugh in a very neurotic way.”

Chen Shuyun’s theory of the five systems of joy, anger, worry, thought, and fear?

The expression of anger is joy?

Lin An blinked, curiously asking, “Why laugh?”

“Anger overwhelms the heart, the fire of the heart ignites, and the heart governs joy. If you can’t exhibit the neurotic happiness of a wizard, just keep laughing, laugh crazily, and nobody will suspect you.”

Seeing Lin An’s puzzled look, Doctor Zhang had to explain, “You’ve heard of laughing out of extreme anger, right? The kind where you laugh because you’re furious.”

He elaborated carefully, “The crazier your laugh, the more it shows you’re repressing a great deal of anger, understand?”

Lin An smacked his lips, “That doesn’t sound like a normal person.”

“No kidding,” Doctor Zhang chuckled, “Who told you that wizards are normal?”

“Come on, laugh for me to see.”

This…

It was a bit awkward; Lin An was already accustomed to hiding his emotions, and it was rare for him to show them freely.

Seeing Doctor Zhang’s encouraging gaze, he could only recall some funny images, “Hahaha…”

“Nope, too fake!” Doctor Zhang frowned, “You have to put emotion into it, acting is a technical skill, think about it more deeply.”

Alright then.

Lin An hesitated for a moment, then tried to change his mindset from ‘suppressed numbness’ to that of ‘chasing thrills.’
In an instant, he began to laugh, a neurotically wild kind of laughter, just like the clown mask he saw in the mirror.

“!!!”

Doctor Zhang gasped, leaning back sharply, “It’s uncanny! Just like the real thing! How did you do it?”

Lin An forcefully switched back to his normal state of mind, “You were talking about acting, and that made me think of a clown. As you know, I learn quickly, so I just imitated it.”

“Oh~” Doctor Zhang had an epiphany, “I’ve seen that actor’s movie montage, man, I seriously doubt that foreigner is a wizard!”

No, not that clown.

It’s a clown inside my head.

A… a clown I want to kill, damn it, secretly influencing me to change my attitude and perform in front of you, are you trying to get me killed?

What if I’m exposed, is this your idea of seeking a thrill?

Lin An was already feeling a bit angry inside.

But his face remained smiley, “Tell me more, I learn quickly.”
