The light network on the map is gradually brightening, as if invisible currents are flowing within it.
Some tiny branches, usually almost invisible, are now starting to emit a faint glow.
"The entire network is being active."
Patty observed the scene with surprise: "It’s like a giant alchemy array being activated."
"Exactly so." Salamanda’s expression became serious:
"And such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will naturally attract the attention of all forces.
It’s not just us, the Sand Sea School, the Tree of Life, and the Burning Scale Clan.
Even some indigenous tribes that usually live reclusively will send their strongest teams to participate in the petition."
At this point, his expression became somewhat somber:
"After all, the result of this Elemental Night will directly affect the allocation weight of convergence points for the next twenty years."
"Allocation weight?" Edwin asked in confusion.
Salamanda paused, seemingly pondering how to explain this plex political issue:
"Children, you must understand, although the Quicksand Lands seem free and open, in reality, they have a strict order system."
He waved his hand, and the training ground began to change.
The hard rock platform quickly restructured, forming an exquisite 3D sand table that perfectly replicated the terrain and faction distribution of the Quicksand Lands.
"Every elemental convergence point here has a clear ownership and manager.
And this ownership is not fixed."
Countless glowing small dots appeared on the sand table, representing convergence points of different scales.
The red dots represent large convergence points, yellow represent medium, and green represent small.
"According to the ancient ’Quicksand Agreement’, there is a chance for redistribution every twenty years.
And the basis for allocation is the performance of the younger generation in the Elemental Night festival."
Salamanda lightly tapped his finger on the sand table, and those dots began to classify according to different colors.
"Of course, regardless of how the weight changes, the dominant position of the Life Tree School will not be shaken."
Salamanda bitterly smiled:
"They have been operating here for more than one epoch, with foundations so deep they are despairing.
What we can strive for is merely a slight improvement on the existing foundation."
He pointed to the distribution of the red dots on the sand table:
"Do you see? The best convergence points are within the core domain of the Tree of Life.
There, they have prehensive protective arrays, abundant resource reserves, and countless research facilities."
"While our convergence points are mostly distributed in the peripheral areas, not only is the environment harsh, but there are also frequent threats."
Upon hearing this, Ron started to understand Salamanda’s plex attitude towards the Life Tree School.
It wasn’t merely hostility, but a helpless promise with reality.
"So, we can only strive for more rights through legitimate channels."
Salamanda readjusted the sand table display, and those glowing points started reordering in a pattern:
"The ’Quicksand Agreement’ stipulates that the petition results of the younger generation will transform into ’Reputation Value’ according to a specific formula, affecting the allocation weight of convergence points."
"Although it is impossible to shake the dominant position of the Tree of Life.
But if we perform excellently, at least the reputation of the Sand Sea School can be elevated, gaining some additional medium to large convergence points usage rights."
Edwin clenched his fist: "Then we will go all out, let them witness the power of the Sand Sea School!"
"Well said!" Salamanda nodded approvingly, but then poured cold water:
"However, you must understand one point.
The Life Tree School dares to propose more plex trial rules, indicating they are very confident in their chances."
He took a Crystal Ball out of the Storage Bag:
"Especially the team they sent this time is not posed of ordinary Wizards, but ’artworks’ that have undergone intense biological transformation."
When magic power was infused into it, a three-dimensional projection of three female figures appeared inside the Crystal Ball.
Each projection was vividly lifelike, and even subtle changes in expression were clearly visible.
His finger lightly touched the air, enlarging the first projection.
"’Thorn Rose’ Lianna, magic pression ratio approximately fivefold, undergoing transformation for seven years.
Her body has achieved the perfect fusion between plant and human."
The skin of the female in the projection was a verdant green, with fine leaf-vein-like textures on the surface.
Under sunlight, these textures would emit a faint glow, like living leaves undergoing photosynthesis.
More strangely, her hair was actually woven from countless delicate vines, gently swaying with emotional changes.
"Under her skin, there is a plete vine circulation system, supplementing the vascular network."
Salamanda’s tone was like analyzing an academic specimen, calm and precise:
"This system not only provides extra magic power conduction efficiency but also has life energy transfer function."
"Through skin contact, she can extract life essence from the enemy for her use, or inject toxins or parasitic spores into the opponent.
Opponents touched by her often grow thorny vines all over their bodies within minutes."
Edwin frowned: "This ability sounds troublesome, wouldn’t fighting in close bat be pletely at a disadvantage?"
"Precisely." Salamanda nodded:
"But she has obvious weaknesses too. In environments devoid of light, her bat ability significantly decreases, and her reaction speed and magic power restoration are affected.
