The forum bigwigs had a lot to say about Arcana Field, but there was one thing all of them repeatedly stressed: a Level 6 Arcanist’s Arcana Field was very rudimentary and especially fragile. Plus, its control power was not that strong.
Its real function was not to allow an Arcanist to control everything within the field but to buff up the Arcana.
The Arcana Field would allow one’s Arcana to get more powerful, faster, higher temperature, and made it easier to use!
A rough calculation showed that an Arcana Field could increase the power of one’s Arcana by five times…
A whole five times stronger!
So in this case, the more Arcana one has, the more advantages one gets.
“I have so many Arcana with me, and with the Arcana Field buffs, how strong can I get?”
Ling Jiu could not wait to try out his Arcana Field, however as he was still training in Underground Room 12, and there were no suitable test subject.
“Let’s try it once I’m out!”
Ling Jiu suppressed the urge to test his Arcana Field, and instead continued to study his own Arcana.
According to experience given by his seniors, after becoming a Level 6 Arcanist, his Arcana would gain new abilities.
For example, for those Earth-type Arcanists:
A vast majority of Earth-type Arcanist will be able to gain the Gravity Arcana, and get the ability to control gravity, while a few will gain the ability to control magnetic fields.
For a Water-type Arcanist:
Most with be able to gain Ice-type Arcanas, and the ability to control ice, while a few will gain the ability to control fluids.
For example, a Gravity-type Arcanists will be able to gain Gravitational Arcana.
“Let me test out my Arcanas!”
Ling Jiu experimented one by one.
“Earth Manipulation Arcana!”
After a while…
Ling Jiu opened ihs eyes. “Aside from controlling the earth more freely, and with more variations, and in a greater range, there’s no new ability gained?”
“Or is it because the gravity arcana is usually derived from it, and I already have that, so they stacked together?”
Ling Jiu continued to experiment.
“Metal Manipulation Arcana!”
“No new abilities gained either!”
“Fire Manipulation Arcana!”
“Damn! Nothing here too?”
“Water Manipulation Arcana!”
“F*ck! Still nothing!”
After a series of experimentations, Ling Jiu despaired. Be it the Five Elements, Blink, Tungsten Form, or Shadowform, none of them had gained new abilities!
They were the same as before, aside from being more powerful, having a wider range, and was easier to use, there was no changes in essential. What derivative abilities?
The hell was that even about?
“For other Arcanists, as long as their Arcana isn’t too shitty, they would normally gain new abilities after breaking through to level 6!”
Ling Jiu had the urge to curse. “Why then I have so many abilities but did not gainy any at all? What’s the meaning of this?”
“Is it because these are replicated Arcanas, so there’s no deriviation from them?”
“So on and so forth!”
“Let’s try the Replication Arcana!”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up. “The Replication Arcana is my original Arcana. So the Replication Arcana is mostlikely to be able to gain a new deriative ability.
Ling Jiu immediately tested his Replication Arcana, and found that the Replication Arcana also did not had any deriative abilities.
“Blood hell!”
“This is straight up bullying!”
“Is it because my Arcana is just too overpowered that even God is jealous, so that’s why there’s no deriative abilities?”
Ling Jiuchao raised flipped his middle finger at the heavens, and an urge to throw more expletives at it.
However, being pissed was all fine and dandy, there was really nothing he could do about it.
Ling Jiu seized the remaining time and absorb the Gene Arcana around him.
As his Gene Arcana core had only just taken shape, it was still very small. So he needed to absorb as much Gene Arcana as possible to let it grow.
At this moment, the power of an Ultimate Gene Arcana Secret Technique was manifested as it swept in a large number of Gene Arcana, causing the core to growing rapidly.
Ring ring!
After absorbing for who knows how long, a piercing bell rang. “Three days has passed, all trainees please leave the training room immediately.”
“So soon already?”
Ling Jiu still had some ideas. After absorption all this while, his Gene Arcana Core had successfully expanded from the size of a cherry to the size of a peanut.
It may not look that different, but god knows how much Gene Arcana it had absorbed?
After leaving Underground Room 12, Ling Jiu returned to the dormitory. To his surprise, Shi Gang was not practicing today, and seemed to be waiting for him?
“You’re back!”
Shi Gang looked over, saying. “Ling Jiu, I have something to tell you!”
“What’s the matter, sounds serious?”
Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.
“I got news that Christopher, Hirano Hatake, Christopher, Edna and Janet have formed an alliance and is taking aim at you!”
Shi Gang’s face was serious.
“Taking aim at me? Just them?”
Ling Jiu laughed. “Let them then. What’s there to be afraid of? Looking at your face, I thought something earth-shattering was about to happen!”
“Ling Jiu, you’ve not realized the seriousness of the matter!”
Shi Gang growled. “Their alliance this time is not just any simple alliance, but its an attack on your number one spot. You know what they plan to do?”
“What they plan to do?”
“The five of them will hunt Direbeasts and then credit all of the results on one single person. Surely you can imagine what would happen if they did this?”
Shi Gang said solemnly.
“If they really did that, it will indeed bring me some challenge. However, they are still far from able to challenge my number one spot!”
Ling Jiu laughed as he shook his head.
“Ling Jiu, you are overconfident there!”
Shi Gang sighed. “All of them are top nine trainees, and their scores had been stable above 1.5 million in recent weeks.”
“Even with simple addition, their total score will exceed 7.5 million. There is a real possibility for them to take first place from you!”
“Before today, they may have a glimmer of hope, but after today, they don’t even stand a slightest chance!” Ling Jiu smiled and shook his head.
“You’re that confident?”
“This is not mere confidence, but strength!”
Early next morning, when Ling Jiu was about to head out, Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling’er came looking for him.
“You guys are up early today!” Ling Jiu said with a smile.
“Brother, I’ve discussed with Sister He, we won’t be teaming up with you this week!”
Yang Ling’er went straight to the point. “We’ve decided to hunt Direbeasts ourselves!”
“It is because of those five?”
Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.
“No, nothing to do with them. We want to kill the Direbeasts using our own efforts, and then train our combat strength!” Yang Ling’er immediately shook her head.
“Right! We don’t want to rely on you, nor do we want others to talk crap about us!” Ai Yuhe also followed suit.
“You two don’t even know how to lie. Just say it if you don’t want to trouble me!”
Ling Jiu smiled and shook his head, and then said. “Right! I know what to do, don’t worry, I won’t hand my number one spot to anyone!”
“But…”
“No buts!”
Ling Jiu waved his hand. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to have your revenge today!”
Riding on the maglev airship, the three once again came to the valley.
The gloomy pool still radiated a bone-biting chill, as white mist rose over the surface of the pool.
The difference from last week was there was no beast in the valley at the moment, and the pool water sparkled like a mirror.
“We were attacked by that Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon here!”
Ai Yuhe gritted her teeth, “Not only that, it also summoned a large number of of its Direbeast underlings to try to kill us!”
“So, we are here for payback today!”
Ling Jiu smiled faintly as he grabbed a boulder and tossed it into the pool.
Boom!
The pool water was kicked three meters high by the impact, making rings of waves.
The next moment, a giant head with a single horn slowly emerged from the water as a pair of blue snake pupils stared coldly at Ling Jiu.
A cold aura and a icy murderous intent radiated from its eyes as the Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon recognized the three of them.
“Ling Jiu, still the same trick, I’ll hold it in place, you’ll take the offense!”
Ai Yuhe took a deep breath as she prepared to use the Dimensional Lock. This was how they killed the Class 7 Direbeasts last week.
Unexpectedly this time around, Ling Jiu declined. “No need for that!”
As soon as his voice fell, Ling Jiu stepped forward and came to the sky above the Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon, as he unleashed his Arcana Field without any hesitation.
Whooosh!!
The invisible Arcana Field instantly enveloped a radius of 500 meters, and Ling Jiu could clearly feel that everything within this field was his to control.
With a thought, he wanted to use the power of the field to grab the Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon, but it only struggled slightly before breaking free.
“It’s siad that a level 6 Arcanist’s control of his Arcana Field is a mere display and its real function is buffs. Seems like that’s true after all!”
Ling Jiu shook his head, “The Beckoning!”
Bam!!
A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted as the Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon flew up uncontrollably towards Ling Jiu.
“Shinra Tensei!”
Ling Jiu snapped his fingers.
Baaaam!!
The Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon instantly flew backwards before slamming into the side of a mountain, knocking down countless rocks and soil.
“The control power of the Arcana Field is indeed insignificant, but inside the field, my Gravity Arcana is gravity enhanced, and its usage is even more agile!”
