Chapter 487: Spell Study (1)

Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute’s sub-base.

After breakfast, Feng Qi and Lin Ran arrived at Spell Laboratory 3 as usual.

He followed Lin Ran to the spell array device and began to observe Lin Ran’s operation.

During this period, he had a better understanding of spell research.

He also understood how terrifying Lin Ran’s talent in this aspect was.

There were many known Spiritual Qi attributes now.

In addition to the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Qi attributes, which were discovered earliest, there were also Wind, Thunder, Darkness, Light, Nature, Blood, and more. There were already more than 200 types of Spiritual Qi attributes that had been discovered.

Among them, there were still more than 20 unnamed attributes of Spiritual Qi. As for the Spirit Qi attributes that had not been discovered, there were countless types.

The plethora of Spirit Qi attributes was also an important reason why there were so many races in the domain world. Furthermore, each race had its unique abilities and talents.

For example, the domain creatures that lived in the Water Spiritual Qi world. They had come into contact with Water Spiritual Qi all year round. Under the nourishment of Water Spiritual Qi, they gradually grasped the ability to control the water element.

Along with the inheritance, this ability was imprinted in their bloodline.

Newborns were born with the talent to control the Water element.

Compared to domain races, human development was a little too late.

Spiritual Qi had only appeared in the human world for more than 500 years Under the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, the physique of humans was indeed stronger every generation.

However, compared to the domain race that had acc.u.mulated for a long time, this growth speed could not make up for the difference.

The importance of spells and cultivation techniques was also displayed at this moment.

If the study of cultivation techniques involved a deep exploration of the human body’s structure and mysteries, spell technique delved deeply into the attributes of the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

There was no difference in the research of cultivation techniques and spells.

However, for the current human civilization, cultivation techniques that could accelerate human physical fitness were clearly more important.

In terms of difficulty, researching spells was no easier than researching cultivation techniques.

The core of spell research was to arrange and combine different Spiritual Qi attributes to produce the corresponding effect.

The process was complex.

To create a spell, the prerequisite was that the spell researcher had a strong perception of the Spiritual Qi attribute.

This perception had a professional term in the field of spell research, also known as Spiritual Qi affinity.

If a spell researcher lacked Spiritual Qi affinity, it would be akin to color blindness in humans. Distinguishing the attributes of Spiritual Qi, let alone the subsequent arrangement and combination, would prove challenging.

Only with a strong affinity for Spiritual Qi could a spell researcher combine the complicated Spiritual Qi attributes to form a spell they wanted.

This threshold stopped a large number of talents who wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the research of spells.

One of Lin Ran’s amazing talents in spell research was his near-perfect elemental affinity.

Without the help of any equipment, he could clearly distinguish every element.

Similarly, using vision as an example.

If spell researchers without Spiritual Qi affinity could be likened to those who are color-blind or color-weak, then individuals with exceptional Spiritual Qi affinity like Lin Ran could be seen as possessing super vision.

In creative research, talent always came first.

Although hard work could close the distance between them and his talent, the gap between them could not be made up for with hard work.

Some people had solid theories, but if they couldn’t pa.s.s the Spiritual Qi affinity test, they wouldn’t be able to continue on the path of spell research.

Lin Ran was born with a unique advantage in spell research.

But this was only one of Lin Ran’s talents in spell research.

The second problem in spell research was how to arrange and combine Spiritual Qi.

This step was the key to creating a spell.

The arrangement and combination of different elemental attributes could produce many interesting characteristics.

For example, the attribute arrangement and combination of an ordinary “Water Ball Technique” did not only require Water Spiritual Qi but also other Spiritual Qi to help release it.

This was somewhat similar to the five elements described in ancient books.

When Water Spiritual Qi fused with a Spiritual Qi of another attribute, its power would increase greatly.

However, compared to the theory that the five elements complemented and countered each other, there were more combinations in the research of spells in reality. It could even be described as endless.

In this aspect, every spell researcher was a pathfinder.

The knowledge acc.u.mulated by predecessors was limited. They could only use their sharp insight and creativity to try the arrangement of various combinations.

Lin Ran was also extremely talented in this aspect.

He was like an architect.

Relying on his super Spiritual Qi affinity, Lin Ran could clearly sense the detailed effects of every Spiritual Qi attribute.

Coupled with his creativity, it was like building a house. He mixed all kinds of elemental attributes into one and formed a spell that he wanted.

This talent was a.s.sociated with creativity and insight.

The power and effect of the spell created completely depended on the researcher’s ability and talent.

The third threshold for a spell researcher was the trajectory of the spell.

Consciousness was the needle, weaving through myriad principles.

These words were the core content of the spell trajectory.

During the process of casting the spell, one’s consciousness was like a needle that kept wandering through the Spiritual Qi particles in the air, connecting all the Spiritual Qi needed according to the arrangement.

In the second phase, the arrangement and combination of spells only finalize the overall structure of the spell..
