It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

On the way back, Falja kept looking for an opportunity to ask Dongfang Jing what the magic was, but it was obviously a top secret, so he couldn't ask directly.

His companion also turned back from time to time to look at Dongfang Jing who was supported by Lin Li. It was obvious that he was also very interested in the magic.

In fact, not only the two mages were paying attention to Dongfang Jing, but even the lion-man Ricardo and the dwarf Taylor who were walking behind him often looked at Dongfang Jing. That was a full-system compound magic. How could they not pay attention?

Falja slowed down his pace a little, and came to Lin Li, keeping the same pace as him. He smiled and said, "My friend, I didn't expect that you humans could also break through to the Saint level. And the lightning javelin and lightning assault you used at the end didn't look like combat skills. You should be practicing both combat and magic, right?"

If she asked directly about confidential matters, she would not get an answer, but if she did not ask, Falja could not help it. And the relationship between Lin Li and Dongfang Jing was obviously that they were lovers.

First, I'll go to Lin Li to get closer, and then ask him from the side. Although he may not answer. Even if he answers, it may not be the truth. But it's better than not asking anything.

After hearing what Falja said, Lin Li also replied with a smile: "I am indeed practicing both combat and magic. It was pure luck that I was able to break through to the Saint level. I almost lost my life because of it."

When Ricardo heard what Lin Li said, he took two steps forward and walked to the other side of Lin Li. He asked politely, "Can you tell me how you broke through? I have been stuck in the legend for a long time and have not been able to break through. I came to this abyss battlefield to try my luck. Maybe I can gain some insights in actual combat."

"There's nothing I can't tell you, but this method is too dangerous. It probably won't be of much help to you."

Lin Li paused for a moment, and when everyone else had focused their attention on him, he continued, "Some time ago, we were traveling and adventuring in other worlds. We unexpectedly met the Son of that world, and had some conflicts with him."

"Sons of the World, I'm sure you guys are aware of this. The power of rules is ridiculously strong. We can't defeat it. We can only burn our lives and give it a try."

"It's also thanks to my dual cultivation of combat and magic that my life span is much longer than that of a normal soldier. In the process of burning my life, I actually caught a glimpse of an opportunity for breakthrough and enlightenment."

“Although I didn’t break through directly at that time, we returned to this world immediately after repelling the enemy. Later, relying on the insights at that time, I was fortunate enough to break through to the Saint level.”

"To be honest, if I wasn't a legendary mage, the hundred-year-old lifespan of a warrior would have been burned up by me long ago. There would be no way I could have the insight to break through to the Saint level."

After hearing what Lin Li said, Ricardo could only shake his head helplessly, then sighed. He said somewhat dejectedly: "Is it true that only in a life-and-death battle can one gain some insights?"

It is indeed easy to get an opportunity for a breakthrough in a life-and-death battle, and there are many precedents for direct breakthroughs. There are even more such examples among the orcs than among humans.

But this life-and-death battle is not something you can encounter whenever you want. Even if you encounter it, you have to survive. It is hard to say whether you can gain insights after surviving. Moreover, this human gained insights by burning his life.

Although the method of burning life is not a secret, when it comes to life span, the beastmen are the most pitiful. The human race is stronger than the beastmen, at least the human race has more mages than them, and they can have the opportunity to increase their life span by hundreds of years. As for the beastmen, ah, it’s better not to talk about it, it’s all tears.

After hearing Lin Li's words, Falja quietly exchanged a glance with another elf companion, and the two of them confirmed with each other's eyes that what the human said was all true, without a single lie.

Although he only said that he gained a breakthrough in his life and death battle, what kind of insight was it? What were the details of the breakthrough? These key information were not mentioned.

However, they did not expect Lin Li to reveal these truly crucial pieces of information. Moreover, even if he did, it might not be useful. After all, different races had different cultivation methods. For them, this information was not necessarily more important than the method of obtaining a breakthrough opportunity.

Lin Li's words at least let them know that the human race has the opportunity to break through to the Saint level in the process of burning life. However, the prerequisite is to have enough lifespan.

Falga thought to himself, no wonder there has never been a saint-level warrior in the human race, with the human race's natural lifespan being so short, it is certainly not enough to burn.

However, it is extremely difficult to practice both combat and magic and achieve success in both.

Besides, if everyone has become a noble mage, who would still insist on training as a warrior? How much time and energy would it take to train a warrior to the peak of legend? Wouldn't it be better to spend this time to study magic?

Of course, there are people who practice both combat and magic. Throughout history, there have always been some gifted individuals. However, most people who practice both combat and magic mainly use the fighting style of a mage.

What kind of wizard would like to rush forward with weapons and fight with swords and knives?

Only the human next to him is a little weird. I can only say that there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

Seeing that Lin Li was easy to talk to, Falja continued, "I noticed that you were quite surprised by the multiple similar spells I cast at the beginning. When you were in the magic academy, didn't your teacher tell you that the training methods of us elves are different from yours?"

Lin Li said, "My experience is quite special. I only spent two years in the elementary department of the magic academy. And to be honest, I prefer to just chop with a sword rather than using magic."

It was indeed quite bizarre, Falca confirmed his thoughts.

Taylor, who was standing behind him, immediately laughed and said, "Haha, my friend, I agree with what you said. Magic from a distance is not as exciting as punching people and making blood splash with swords."

In response to the dwarf's words, Falga cursed him as a reckless man.

Lin Li followed up on Farga's words and asked, "Actually, I'm really curious about how you were able to change the elemental system so quickly."

Without waiting for Falja to answer, Dongfang Jing, who was supported by Lin Li, said, "This is the racial talent of the elves. The elves are much stronger than us humans in terms of elemental and magical perception and physical adaptability. They don't need to specialize in elements to achieve the same effect as us humans after specializing."

"Because of this innate ability, they are much better than us in the transformation and use of multiple types of magic."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then asked Falja: "Wouldn't it be even more powerful if you specialize in elements?"
