Before the Shufa Research Institute was established, it had been publicized through newspapers.
People living in the shade, even ordinary survivors, know what combat techniques/spells are, and the awakened ones know even more.
High-star adventurers can redeem combat skills such as Heavy Slash and Blood Slash, and the price is equivalent to a piece of C-level equipment.
In addition, universal basic training methods such as the Knight Training Method, the Five Hearts Xiangtian Naqi Method, the Dual One Transformation Training Method, etc. can also be exchanged in the Adventurer Guild, and the price is cheaper than combat skills.
The use of combat skills can condense the energy and blood scattered throughout the body into a single point, erupting with power far beyond normal.
It is very delicate. Even for the "Heavy Slash", which is said to be the easiest to learn, they still need to practice the separated movements first, then integrate their own Qi and blood, and finally integrate the Qi, blood and movements in a short period of time. Penetration is the initial acquisition of "heavy cutting".
Spells are more complex than combat techniques and require the use of source power to be used. How on earth did the higher-ups of the shelter create these...
Why are the gaps between people so huge? !
If Tang Yu knew what the adventurers were thinking, he would also sigh. How did those predecessors create combat techniques without any foundation
The current territory contains at least one or two hundred skill books, and there are several books of runes to lay the foundation. Only then did Tang Yu come up with the idea of creating spells... and let others create them.
…
Located next to the equipment manufacturing factory, the newly built area covering dozens of acres is affiliated to the Shufa Research Institute.
For the time being, there is only one main building. In other areas, more buildings may be built in the future, or used as magic experiment areas. If not enough, they can be expanded. In short, the most indispensable thing for the current greenery is land.
But it is impossible to lower housing prices.
Experimental site.
It is surrounded by crystal walls that can absorb energy, and a source of energy pool is buried underground to ensure that it is easier and more convenient to release spells.
There are photo crystals on the crystal walls and behind the ceiling that record the casting process - this is Kevin's modified version. The originally disposable photo crystals have been transformed into ones that can be used continuously. The disadvantage is that they have become very large and are not suitable for carrying outside. Use it, even if it can be put into a space backpack.
Elaine came here early, stretched out her white and delicate palms, and the ice-blue cold current turned and rolled around her palms.
Sometimes it turns into ice crystals, sometimes it turns into water flow.
Sometimes it turns into a spear over one meter long, held in the hand, and sometimes it turns into an icy blue ice shield.
Anyone who sees this kind of control will be amazed.
The employees in the logistics department had their eyes widened at this moment, their bodies and minds were captured by the powerful and beautiful sight in front of them, and they became completely obsessed with it.
'But this is not a magic trick. ’
Elaine stared at her hands, her hair spread on both sides of her neck, her expression focused and serious.
Not long after, a group of people walked in.
Summoned by the Magic Academy, the first to arrive were the major corps and the earth-type ability users affiliated to various departments, a total of 23 people.
Elaine dispersed the ice source power condensed in her palms, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and exuded her breath in wisps, maintaining a friendly yet distant majesty... This was what she had read from a book titled "On Leadership" a few days ago. Learned from "Cultivation" books.
Although Elaine didn't know it clearly, she already had her own ice aura.
The earth-type ability user who had just arrived felt cold all over and could not help but shrink his neck.
"Isn't it because I want to be sliced and studied? I don't want to die young. I'm still so handsome..."
There was a little ripple in Elaine's calm eyes.
It's really... The person who spoke was relatively fat, with a scar on his face extending from the corner of his eye to his chin, which looked particularly terrifying.
She recognized this person, Peng Bo, who had awakened to the ninth level. He was the strongest among all earth ability users. His natural ability was rock armor...
Then Elian's eyes fell on Peng Bo.
Peng Bo was so trembling that he almost lost 300 kilograms of fat.
…
The first awakened special abilities can be regarded as the innate spells of the ability user, and are also the source of inspiration for self-created spells.
Elian's spells were either learned from magic books, passed down from inheritance, or... they were extended from the spells she mastered.
The latter has certain innovations, but it is still far away from self-created techniques.
Her talent is not in the earth element, and she does not know the earth element magic, but by analogy... it may be difficult to use it, but Elian's understanding of magic is truly the first in the territory.
By observing a large number of similar spells, looking for ideas to construct new spells.
The first one to use it was Peng Bo.
In order to facilitate the earth ability users to perform better, a large amount of earth and rocks were quickly transported from the open space outside the building.
Peng Bo shouted low, and countless gravel and soil flew to him and adhered to his body. These soil and stones merged together to form a yellow-brown rock armor.
It looks ordinary, but its defensive capabilities cannot be underestimated.
The captain of the garrison corps, who was called over to act as a strong man, charged up a "Heavy Slash" and hit it on the rock armor. Peng Bo took a few steps back, only to see some cracks on the rock armor, but it was mostly intact. The "Heavy Slash" failed to hit it. Through the defense of the rock armor, even the tyrannical force was absorbed by the rock armor.
With Peng Bo's thoughts, the cracks on the rock armor quickly healed.
A very practical defensive spell!
Then, Peng Bo showed other stunts, such as reaching out and throwing a handful of gravel at the enemy. When the gravel came into contact with the enemy, it turned into a hard object and got stuck on the enemy's joints...
Another example is that spikes extend from the rock armor, turning oneself into a hedgehog, and can stab the enemy into a honeycomb just by running rampant.
This is an extension of the spell, from a defensive spell to an armor of thorns that integrates offense and defense.
The idea of changing armor is not unusual, but...
Elaine ordered another earth-type ability user present, whose strength was second only to Peng Bo, to imitate Peng Bo's armor of thorns just now.
This earth-type ability user has very strong control. He stepped forward step by step, and the soil on the ground automatically adhered to his body, forming a rock armor similar to Peng Bo's just now.
The rock armor quickly changed, with sharp earth thorns sprouting from it, making people's eyes jump.
This wave of imitation can score 82 points.
but,
The captain of the strong guard corps casually threw out a punch. His fist shattered the earth thorns, penetrated the armor, and hit the chest of the earth element ability user.
This punch is not strong.
The earth-type ability user just swayed and stabilized his body, but the armor attached to his body shattered with a clicking sound.
This armor is too brittle!
At best, it is harder and thicker than ordinary land, and is completely incomparable to Peng Bo's innate magic "Rock Armor".
It can only be regarded as using the soil source power to control the shape of the soil.
Practicality is low.
Elaine was not surprised. While recording her thoughts, she asked the ability user to continue the demonstration.
This earth-type ability user, second only to Peng Bo, took a deep breath and stretched out his hands. Suddenly, the soil exploded under the feet of the strong man squad leader. Countless soil boiled like boiling water, forming a series of earth dragons. In an instant, the strong man was killed. The squad leader was tied up.
It's also tied up very artistically.
The talent spell "Earth Spirit Binding".
It is a control spell.
Next, more than twenty ability users demonstrated their special abilities one after another.
Some of his abilities are earthquakes, which are not limited to the ground. They can cause the materials they come into contact with that contain the earth element to vibrate. They are good at demolishing homes.
There are also abilities that allow them to burrow into the ground, escape into the earth and move quickly, but cannot truly integrate into the soil - elementalization is an ability only available at the second stage of transcendence.
…
Whoosh!
A two-meter-high sharp thorn stabbed out of the soil in an instant. The sharpness of the thorn was so high that even D-level protective gear could be easily pierced. Except for strong men like Peng Bo who could wrap their whole bodies in armor, the others Everyone tightened their legs with a chill.
The user with the ground thorn ability did not stop there. He waved his hand again, and densely packed ground thorns emerged from the soil.
This is a technique he evolved from many times of practice, "Multiple Ground Stabs".
If he could have the same level of strength as Peng Bo, these ground thorns would not be much worse than rock armor in terms of hardness.
After the display, the person with the ability took a few steps closer, clenched his hands into fists, and with a clicking sound, all the ground shattered to pieces.
The earth and rocks were piled up to the height of a hill.
‘In the future, the venue for experimenting with spells should preferably be open-air. ’
Elaine secretly thought.
She knew that as more than twenty earth-type ability users demonstrated, the amount of mud and rocks in the experimental area had actually increased.
Like the ground stabbing spell, it looks like it comes out of the soil, but in fact, part of it is formed by the condensation and transformation of the earth element energy in the air.
From energy to tangible matter.
Even if the institute does not provide soil, most of the special soil abilities can still be used.
Abilities such as "Rock Armor", "Earth Spirit Binding", and "Multiple Ground Thorns" can all be directly condensed from source power. The existence of soil accelerates this process, which is equivalent to a site bonus.
'But if you put aside your innate ability and use your own power to control the earth source power and condense it into soil, the difficulty level will be very high and it will be almost impossible to do it. ’
Elaine pondered, 'Although the fire element and the water element can do it, the flame itself is a kind of energy, and there is no transformation in the middle. As for the water element, the air already contains a large number of water molecules...molecules and elements...and source Qi, which are completely Different, on two levels. ’
I didn't have much of a clue the entire day.
Elaine was not discouraged. After returning to the dean's office, she repeatedly watched, analyzed, and thought about the recorded video materials, pushing up pieces of draft paper on her desk.
…
In the past few days, the "Adventurers Guild" has posted a task to assist the Magic Research Institute. More and more earth-type ability users have come to the institute to demonstrate.
Peng Bo and others are also frequent visitors, and they can also get rewards in the internal system for assisting in tasks.
The work is not only about demonstrating innate spells, but also after some ideas are proposed, they will also be executed by earth ability users.
They themselves also put forward many opinions.
Everyone was excited to personally participate in the process of researching magic, just like little people are qualified to participate in the national aerospace project and the two bomb projects... What they do is not only researching magic, but also making history!
Many people said that even if there was no reward, they would still take the job!
…
After several days in a row, Tang Yu finally came out of the mental space. Tang Yu was in a daze, but undoubtedly his understanding of combat techniques had deepened a lot.
After resting for a while, he went straight to the Magic Research Institute.
Late at night.
But inside the institute, the lights were still on.
"One of the most common characteristics of earth magic is its sturdiness."
As soon as Tang Yu opened the office door, he saw Elaine frowning and densely packed draft papers already piled on the desktop.
I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Wanting to persuade, I looked into Elaine's eyes. Before she could speak, I heard her say, "I'm already extraordinary, so I won't be tired of doing this."
Transcendence certainly does not require sleep.
But when Tang Yu glanced at the countless data and lines on those drawings, he knew that Yi Lian had probably not stopped thinking for a moment in order to create earth spells these days.
The thinking speed of the extraordinary level is very fast, but no matter how fast it is... no one can bear it for a long time.
But Tang Yu didn't persuade him any more.
Just as Elaine blocked what he wanted to say before he opened his mouth, he also knew that persuasion was useless.
He immediately sat down next to him, picked up the drawings, and began to analyze them.
…
Tang Yu sometimes frowned and sometimes pondered.
These people, while practicing combat skills, are also constantly thinking, and have unique insights into the combat techniques themselves.
Not as good as Elaine, but the exchange between the two can also provide some inspiration.
"In other words, the easiest thing to create right now is a technique that makes soil hard?"
"Yes, most of the innate spells of earth-type ability users have the characteristic of solidity. On the one hand, there are more data that can be analyzed. On the other hand, it also illustrates the nature of the earth-type source power.
My idea is to create a circular earth shield. There is no speed requirement for shaping the earth shield. The circular shield has a simple structure and is easier to control when constructing. Moreover, the earth shield is relatively practical. If it can be created, it will be a A technique that can be widely promoted. "
Tang Yu understood.
Spells can be used as long as there is sufficient source power. Earth shield spells... ability users of other systems, or awakened ones who have entered the Condensing Source Realm and condensed the source energy cyclone, can also learn it, but compared with earth system abilities. It is more difficult to learn and the casting speed is slower.
A formed spell cannot change its form at will like an innate ability.
But as long as it is easy to learn, it can be promoted and greatly enhance the strength of the legion.
This is also the original intention of creating magic.
Suddenly raising his eyebrows, Tang Yu twirled his pen and said, "It's not just an earth shield. It's a technique that can be shaped and made strong. It can also be used on buildings."
"Buildings? You mean reinforced buildings?"
"No, no." Tang Yu stretched out a finger and waved it.
Elaine rarely showed doubts.
Tang Yu paused and then said, "As long as it is strong enough, you can directly use the soil to shape it into a building, and even the steel bars can be omitted."
In the past, people with earth ability could help the construction team in construction. They could usually only turn over the soil to lay the foundation, or when pouring cement, they could use the earth element to control the process to speed up the process.
Now... Tang Yu imagined that when building defenses in the future, the earth-type ability user would wave his hand, and a tall building would suddenly take shape, just like 3D printing.
The difficulty is naturally more difficult than the earth shield.
"It may be difficult to cast a spell to make a tall building take shape at once, but if it is broken down like building blocks into several or a dozen fixed-shaped spells, the difficulty will be reduced a lot. Moreover, there is soil For those with abilities, there is no need to worry about the firmness of the joints of the building blocks."
"If it can be created, it will be a real architectural spell."
