"...Therefore, your actual strength is based on how effectively you can control your mana and how proficient you are in other aspects. If one has enough control and are skilled enough in other areas, they'll be strong enough to fight an elemental mage even without having awakened any element themselves..."
It's been a few hours since the professor who was a man in his thirties started talking about the cultivation and other stuff.
Max paid full attention in the start as he hoped that these lectures will be helpful for him. However, he quickly realised that the only useful information for him was the mana control aspect.
However, he wasn't too disappointed. He already knew that joining an academy will not help him too much. As no cultivation skill or resources could hope to compare to his system's ability to make him stronger. He only came here to learn how to use his strength properly, better experience the world and have some exciting adventures.
