A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 171 Killing Frenzy Potion

"Professor, didn't you say there were seven?"

"What's the one more thing?"

Katniss asked curiously.

I advise you not to worry about so much.

"There's one more thing that's not really suitable for you."

For Katniss's mental health, Jiang Shuzhou did not show the seventh one.

"It's nothing, I'm just taking a look."

Since the parties involved didn't care, Jiang Shuzhou naturally had no objections. He directly took out a bottle of golden medicine.

"The Killing Frenzy Potion greatly enhances physical abilities and lasts for ten minutes. The downside is that it's easy to lose control."

"You should have experienced this before. By the way, when you lose control, you'll even kill yourself."

This stuff is made from abyssal pus. The principle is that abyssal pollution directly enhances the strength of the sufferer, but at the cost of becoming chaotic. Through purification, the pollution can be greatly reduced, thus creating a potion that can enhance strength.

It was based on this inspiration that Jiang Shuzhou created the Killing Frenzy Potion. Through precise control of the proportions, the contamination was prevented from being corrupted and transformed by the Abyss, and it only provided power.

Jiang Shuzhou took this thing out with the intention of collecting some data.

After all, compared to other items, this thing is the one that consumes the most experimental materials. He had this idea during the trial, and only after learning relevant knowledge through the library did he finally realize it.

A 1:1 scale replica does have a few minor drawbacks.

Katniss stared blankly at the potion, memories of the killing game flashing through her mind again.

However, she quickly overcame it.

These items all have considerable defects.

However, it's not that it can't be used.

The truth whip can be used without any problems, since as long as you don't lie, nothing will happen.

The retractable spear is undoubtedly the best choice, since it can not only extend and retract but also use magic. The only downside is that its attack power may be reduced.

The Burning Armor and the Killing Frenzy Potion are undoubtedly the most powerful items among them, but their drawbacks are also extremely terrifying.

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Jiang Shuzhou was not dissatisfied at all. He looked at the students in front of him with great interest, wanting to see what choice they would make.

"Professor Navis, may I borrow some fire resistance potions from you?"

Katniss is quite clever.

"Of course, but you'll need to sign a contract and use the points you earn to make up for it."

Everything comes at a price. These items may seem to have side effects, but that's not actually the case.

Burning armor can be worn freely as long as the fire resistance is high, and with enough willpower, the Killing Frenzy potion can also forcefully overcome the resistance.

Moreover, these are all life-or-death weapons; using them before death can directly turn the tide of battle.

As for the cost, the 10% increase in points is practically free; it's entirely Jiang Shuzhou's way of motivating these students.

He wasn't interested in the meager rewards from the students, but rather in the overall ranking rewards and experimental data.

What money could a group of teenagers who have just turned eighteen have, unless they are as old as Jiang Shuzhou?

Even a hundred-year-old monk would address Jiang Shuzhou as a master.

"I'll sign!"

Katniss's resolute voice rang out, clearly indicating that she had made up her mind.

Then, she took all the items except for the quirky gun.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care. He had ways to retrieve the body after it died, since these items all had tracking features.

"Who else wants it?"

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and replenished the stock with items he took out from his spatial ring.

"I!"

"Professor, I want one too!"

"No rush, everyone has one, what's the hurry?"

"Here, this is yours, this is..."

Jiang Shuzhou grinned from ear to ear. No wonder he was a student; he was so easy to fool.

Now we have the experimental data.

As for whether they plan to steal the items and run away?

Jiang Shuzhou wasn't worried at all. Every item had a positioning array and a data collection array. Whether they were dead or alive, Jiang Shuzhou could get what he wanted.

Of course, he still hoped the students could survive, after all, it was a win-win situation.

Jiang Shuzhou not only gains experimental data but also receives rewards from the school, while the students receive cultivation resources from the school.

Unfortunately, only nine people found Jiang Shuzhou, signed contracts, and received the equipment; the others did nothing.

Jiang Shuzhou was not annoyed by this; preliminary tests showed that the data generated by these people was sufficient.

They seem to be just children; they probably don't know the value of Jiang Shuzhou's things.

All you get is the Mantra Whip. Once it's confirmed to have no other side effects, after it's been put into production and smuggled into the Alliance of Saints, it will definitely be a top-tier luxury item, the kind that ordinary nobles can't even afford.

Jiang Shuzhou had even negotiated with Blake about the accompanying goods; he would absolutely not sell a whip without pairing it with dozens of bottles of pain potions.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to go to the battlefield.

"Why are you so nervous? With us here, you generally won't die. At most, you'll just be seriously injured or disabled."

"It's no big deal."

Looking at the students' lifeless faces, Jiang Shuzhou felt that these people were perhaps too afraid of death.

"Navis, he's disabled, isn't that a big problem?"

"Wouldn't it be too inconvenient to get a prosthetic limb?"

Jess, who studied mechanical engineering, was puzzled.

"What's so special about this? Don't forget, I'm an authority in the field of flesh and blood. I can easily sculpt a body for you students."

"Prices are negotiable, so buy now while supplies last; bulk discounts are available."

Upon hearing this, the students finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the situation could be resolved, even if the price was high, at least they could survive.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Anyone want to board my airship?"

Silence. No one wanted to be silent; they all wanted to share an airship with the relatively amiable Jess.

"I do."

Katniss stepped forward.

The others looked at Katniss with the same eyes they would use to look at the Warriors.

"The young man is good; he's courageous and clear-headed."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded.

Katniss's emotions are becoming more and more stable. She is clearly a good candidate to be a mage and alchemist. This talent was personally polished by Jiang Shuzhou.

So the trials are really useful.

"Is anyone else here?"

"Since I'm all alone, I'm going to spend some quality time with this beautiful lady."

Silence remained. Although some people wanted to go, their fear of Jiang Shuzhou prevailed over the others.

Moreover, they all knew that Katniss would be fine, and besides, if Jiang Shuzhou really wanted to, they couldn't stop him.

"Boring, not fun at all."

Jiang Shuzhou and Katniss boarded the airship.

Jess, looking helpless, led the others onto his airship.

At night, Jess went outside for some fresh air.

Because the airship was packed, everyone had to sleep on the floor inside.

He was very tired.
