Chapter 255 Elemental Techniques
Fein stood up. He inhaled and exhaled deeply to calm the excitement inside him. This is one of the happy days that he had. With this promotion, he gained a lot this time. He not only become High Human, but he could also perceive laws and incorporate it into his swordsmanship and martial techniques!
Now, he could intuitively feel that he can understand the elements around the world better and his affinity with the world became closer. He didn't know how to explain the feeling, but he felt a connection with the environment.
"Let's try it!" His lips curled up unconsciously.
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, then he instinctively thought of a burning fire in his mind. Suddenly, he saw the red sparks in the surroundings fused with the blade in his hand. Then, a weak flame gradually appeared that enveloped the entire blade and he could feel his degu energy reducing a little every second.
"That's it?" Fein was speechless. He didn't want to believe it, so he waited for another minute. Yet the flame was still weak that he could only use it to light up a cigarette!
How the fuck would this help him? Fein didn't want to believe in evil so he infused a large amount of degu energy, hoping that it would strengthen the flames, but the result only disappointed him.
So, he tried to imagine the wind. The wind is an element that can be sharp enough to slice hard objects, fast enough to travel the world, and strong enough to lift heavy objects. These are the characteristics of the wind.
Now, Fein used his understanding of wind law, and the abundant colorless sparks came to the Abyssal Blade. Then, the blade on his was covered with a swirling wind that rotated on his sword non-stop.
But just like earlier, it was weak like the flames that it could only be called a gust of wind. It was pretty weak that it didn't even sharpen his sword and give a one percent speed buff.
"What the actual fuck? This is pretty tasteless." Fein sighed in disappointment.
Just like that, he tried it with every element. With the ice, the blade only produced a cold glow with the thunder. It only produced a weak current that could ground people. So he could only give up and he guessed that it was because his understanding of the laws wasn't high enough. What could level one do right?
He speculated on the need to level up his understanding of the laws for them to become strong enough to be useful. The problem is, how would he improve his understanding of the laws? Does he have to study them scientifically or something? Or would he just have to perceive them and improve his understanding? The former doesn't sound reliable. After all, in terms of scientific knowledge, he already understood fire, lightning, and wind in detail. So, he knew that it was likely the latter.
"Well, let's give it a try!" Fein sat down on the Desert sand crossed-legged and closed his eyes to enter meditation.
The colorful sparks of lightning, ice, fire, wind, etc rioted... A strong pulling force appeared on Fein's head and sucked the sparks. Just like that, he could feel unknown information appear in his head that started to improve his understanding of the elements.
Five hours passed...
DING!
System: All the basic elements leveled up to two! With host S-rank talent, you could level up the laws up to twenty! Beyond that, you need to upgrade your talent to SS rank.
Fein raised his fist to the sky with a smirk. 'It really worked!'
Then he tried to meditate again, but the sparks in the surrounding became thinner. He could see that the sparks were getting replenished, but it was too slow.
Three days passed, and he spent every second in meditation, but his understanding didn't even increase to lvl three.
"Damn, it seems that the elements in the surroundings are limited." Fein gave up, but he was already satisfied with his gains.
When he tried incorporating again, the flames were slightly stronger and there was an obvious improvement in the temperature it exuded. This just means that, if his understanding of the law becomes higher, the effect would also become stronger!
He inquire about his system, and his system told him that different areas had a different amounts of elemental sparks. Some special areas are naturally more abundant in elemental sparks than other areas. And different elements had different areas of distribution.
Currently, he could improve them all because his understanding of them is fairly low. But as his understanding became higher in level. The system told him that he needed to go to a specific place to improve a specific element. For example, if Fein wants to improve the level of his understanding of thunder, then he needs to go to a place where there's a lot of thunder or lightning. Or go inside a volcano to level up his understanding of fire, because the environment of the volcano is naturally rich with flame sparks!
Weather and Season could also affect this. In summer, the fire sparks have a higher concentration. In Winter, ice element becomes abundant. And when raining, water and wind sparks or even thunder sparks become higher. And he just needs to meditate to absorb them and increase his understanding.
Suddenly, a bold idea resurfaced in his mind. What if he meditates inside Voli's Thunderstorm Domain? or Kiba's Fiery Domain? or Aoi's Snow Age? or even Sofia's Dark Domain!? would that mean he could finally increase his understanding of the Law of darkness to level one?!
"Fuck, I'm really a genius! Hahaha!!" Fein laughed crazily, and his expression became insane.
With that, he just needs to find special places or domain users to improve his law understanding!
The unfortunate thing is, there's an upper limit or level cap. For now, he could only upgrade all of them up to level twenty.
But that's okay. As long as he upgrades his talent, the upper limit would naturally increase!
