Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 292 Power
"There seems to be a special power within this body..."

Soon, with Uchiha Kazuto's continuous reading, he finally read out unusual and special data in this body. However, he was not in good condition at the moment and could not draw out this power.

Unfortunately, his adaptation to this universe is too low right now, and he can't use any powerful forces at all. Otherwise, he could directly draw out these forces and even directly regenerate the genes of this body. Unfortunately, he can't do that now.

"Since this is a power that was originally present in this body, then this world must have a way to activate this power..."

Soon, Uchiha Kazuto found a way to access the power within this body.

In Blackrock Town, ordinary civilians also need to work. They can choose to become soldiers and patrol around the town, clearing out monsters that approach. They can try to learn magic or do farm work, such as mining stones and planting crops.

"Place your hands on the crystal ball in front of you, close your eyes, breathe, and clear your mind! Imagine there is a flow of energy within your body, and now, begin to guide that energy into the crystal ball..."

A calming sound echoed in the secret room, and the incense, exuding a calming aroma, burned quietly. Uchiha Kazuto and several other figures sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, their hands resting on a crystal ball in front of them, their eyes tightly closed.

Before them stood a female mage with a graceful figure, a beautiful face, wearing a purple slit mage robe, holding a staff in her hand, and with a faint purple light emanating from her eyes.

At this moment, she is guiding Uchiha Kazuto and the others to unlock the power within their bodies.

This is one of the power systems in this world. To become a mage, one must sense the hidden magic within oneself and draw it out, ultimately resonating with the magic in the air. In the past, an ordinary person who wanted to become a mage apprentice often needed a period of study and constant experimentation before they could become a mage.

Furthermore, becoming a mage requires status; only nobles have the right to learn magic, and commoners can only dream of it!
But things are different now. In order to quickly build up combat power, they have had to lift these restrictions and find ways to cultivate what is commonly known as combat power. The method this mage is using is a quick way to achieve this.

Through a special spell, one can forcibly draw upon the magical power within another person to achieve rapid enlightenment.

Becoming a mage through this method has its flaws, and the potential for growth is very limited.

However, even so, there are still thresholds. Many people have tried this method but have been unable to draw out the magic power within their bodies.

However, this didn't pose any problem for Uchiha Kazuto. He didn't care about any of that, since it wasn't his body anyway. All he needed was power and authority.

Soon after, the crystal ball in front of Uchiha Kazuto lit up, emitting a blood-red light.

Using that slight attraction, he successfully drew out the magic power within his body.

"Alright, boys, there's no time to waste. You have three days to learn the spells in this book, and then report to the army!"

"If you can't learn it, then go do something else! We need your strength!"

A book containing information about magic and some basic knowledge was distributed to Uchiha Kazuto.

"Ah."

Uchiha Kazuto nodded, took the book, and left.

Back at their residence, Uchiha Kazuto opened a book.

It contained several spells and some knowledge about mages. He glanced at it and memorized it.

"Now that we have the most basic power, all we need to do is to increase that power as quickly as possible..."

He closed his eyes and began to forcefully control the body to meditate.

According to this book, if a mage wants to increase their power, besides drinking potions that enhance magic, they can also meditate, absorb external magic, and increase the upper limit of their own magic power...

Unfortunately, those who are forcibly made into monks through guided practice have very low meditation efficiency; the best way is to take drugs.

However, after attempting meditation, Uchiha Kazuto discovered that it did not significantly improve his meditation ability. He was able to clearly perceive the magic power in the outside world and then absorb it into his body, increasing the upper limit of his internal magic power.

They can even maintain a meditative state throughout the day while doing other things.

"Let me try these spells..."

Uchiha Kazuto began attempting to cast spells.

It only records three spells: Spirit Shield, which can add a special shield that can resist magic attacks to oneself and others by consuming magic power; Earth Spike, which can create earth spikes that can cause penetrating damage to enemies; and Great Wet Bread Making, which can consume all the magic power in one's body to create a huge loaf of bread with a high water content.

Blackrock Town treats these mages, created using a crash course, as mere buffs for the army.

"Is this what magic is like? I understand..."

Uchiha Kazuto began to analyze the basic structure and fundamental principles of these three spells, treating his brain like a computer and starting it to run like crazy.

Magic surged at his fingertips, arcs of electricity, sparks, and icy currents constantly flowing, finally settling on a crimson light.

Soon, he gained some understanding of so-called magic. Unfortunately, due to limited energy, he had to stop calculating. Even so, he gained a deeper understanding of magic and was even able to create his own spell.

"Next, it's time to increase the total amount of magic power..."

Meditation could only enhance his power so little; he needed other methods, and he already had an idea.

Not long after, he chose to become a scout. In reality, a scout was just like an adventurer, except that adventurers could no longer wander around like before. They could only go into the wild to collect resources, observe the movements of monsters, and report back.

Soon, Uchiha and Tou arrived in the wilderness.

He found a zombie, and after killing it, he placed his hand on its head. A crimson light surged from his hand into the zombie's body, and he began to frantically draw magic power from it.

The zombie quickly became shriveled, eventually turning into a completely dried-up corpse, rotting flesh...
