Chen Xin fell into deep thought after learning about the Thousand Machine Umbrella’s hidden characteristic.
Fusion?
Shouldn't this characteristic be integrated with replication? Why is it separate?
It can replicate but not fuse?
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't make sense.
The Seven Kill Sword's hidden characteristic has the meaning of guidance, guiding them to cultivate the Sword Dao.
Could the Thousand Machine Umbrella’s Fusion also be like this?
Chen Xin looked at Li Tian and asked, "After Fusion, besides reduced Spirit Ability consumption and changes in Spirit form when switching, are there really no other changes?"
Li Tian shook his head and said, "No."
It had been half a month since the Spirit Fusion, if there were truly other changes.
How could he not have discovered them?
Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "Switch between the fused and non-fused states, and it's best to release a Spirit Ability."
"Okay!"
Li Tian immediately released his Spirit, switching between different Spirit forms.
On the surface, no abnormalities could be seen.
It was merely a change in the conversion process; it was difficult to discern any trickery from it.
"Wait!"
Chen Xin suddenly stopped Li Tian, his eyes full of disbelief.
At this moment, Li Tian's Spirit had already switched to the Thunderous Spear.
However, the Spirit Ability released by the previous Spirit had not dissipated with the switch.
Spirit Abilities originate from spirit rings and are one with the Spirit.
When a normal Spirit Master releases a Spirit Ability with a duration, once the Spirit is withdrawn, the Spirit Ability will dissipate, but his Spirit Ability did not dissipate due to the Spirit switch.
This was clearly unreasonable.
The Spirit Ability not dissipating with the Spirit switch indicated that his multiple Spirit forms were inherently one.
There was simply no such thing as Spirit Fusion.
Chen Xin informed Li Tian of this idea, and the latter was stunned.
Upon careful thought.
Fusion was just a concept; it didn't specifically state that it was Spirit Fusion.
Spirit Fusion was merely his preconceived judgment.
So, the question arose: if it wasn't Spirit Fusion, what would it be fusing?
spirit rings?
No.
spirit rings and Spirits follow the same principle; if they were not one.
The Spirit Ability already released should also dissipate when switching.
Chen Xin said, "Is it possible that the so-called Fusion actually refers to attributes?"
"The Celestial Star Furnace's attribute is similar to the Thousand Machine Umbrella's defense."
"Although the Thunderous Spear has an additional lightning attribute, its essence is also similar to the spear form."
"Therefore, both can directly fuse with the Thousand Machine Umbrella."
"And other Spirits, whether in form or attribute, are different from the Thousand Machine Umbrella, so they cannot fuse temporarily?"
Li Tian fell into deep thought.
If it was attribute Fusion, then why Liu Long’s staff couldn't fuse would make sense.
His Spirit had no attribute at all, so how could it fuse?
However, if it was Fusion, then the Thousand Machine Umbrella should have the Thunderous Spear's lightning attribute attached.
Why wasn't it detected during the Spirit attribute test?
If he couldn't figure it out, he would ask. Li Tian immediately voiced the doubts in his heart.
"Uh…"
Chen Xin tentatively said, "Two possibilities: either that spirit tool is inadequate and can't detect it, or the fused attribute is a hidden attribute."
Li Tian: "???"
Although there was a certain possibility, wasn't it a bit too far-fetched?
"If it's attribute Fusion, what should I do?"
Currently, Spirits and spirit rings can basically be ruled out, and it seems only attribute is left as a possibility.
Let's give it a try.
Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "The best way should be to attach a spirit ring with the corresponding attribute, allowing the Thousand Machine Umbrella to possess the attribute of that Spirit."
"However, this is just our current speculation and has not been confirmed, and you also don't have that many spirit ring slots to attach the corresponding spirit rings."
"If it truly is attribute Fusion, then there should logically be a Fusion method based on the Spirit itself. What we need to do now is find this method."
"Since it can fuse the Thunderous Spear and the Celestial Star Furnace, then similar types of Tool Spirits with different attributes should also be able to fuse. Perhaps we can start from this direction."
Li Tian immediately understood what he meant.
"You mean that the Thousand Machine Umbrella should already possess the Thunderous Spear's lightning attribute, and I should also be able to fuse other lightning-attribute Tool Spirits."
"Or, find other attribute-based spear-type and defensive-type Spirits to improve the compatibility between the unfusable Spirits and the Thousand Machine Umbrella, thereby achieving the prerequisite for Fusion?"
Chen Xin said, "Exactly. If our speculation is correct, this method should be feasible. We'll only know for sure after testing it."
As expected of Sword Douluo.
In such a short time, he not only found a new approach to Fusion through a few details but also thought of the verification method.
Awesome!
Li Tian bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior. Tomorrow, I will go to the Academy to find someone to verify this."
Chen Xin waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Any cultivation is based on the development and application of the Spirit itself. Before Li Tian thoroughly understood the Spirit's characteristics, any experience was meaningless.
Therefore, Chen Xin was not in a hurry to impart any cultivation experience to Li Tian.
He would wait until their conjecture was verified.
…
The next day, early morning.
Li Tian arrived at the Academy early, and after reporting to his classroom, he went to find Meng Shenji again.
"Lightning-attribute Tool Spirit, you say?"
Meng Shenji thought for a moment and realized that there were no teachers with such a Spirit.
There might be some among the students, but he wasn't sure of the specifics.
After all, with over five hundred students in the Academy, it was impossible for him to remember every student's Spirit.
Only a Genius deserved for him to remember.
Li Tian said, "Slaughter-attribute, or metal-attribute spear-type and defensive Tool Spirits are also fine."
The Seven Kill Sword's attribute was slaughter.
The Armor-Breaking Bow's attribute was metal.
As long as he could find these two types of spear-type Spirits, he could also verify the conjecture.
The same principle applied to metal-attribute defensive Tool Spirits.
Meng Shenji said, "Go find the Director of Teaching Affairs. His Spirit is a metal-attribute long spear."
"Alright, thank you, Committee Member!"
Li Tian bowed and then walked out of the office, not at all worried that the other party wouldn't let him replicate.
It wasn't that he thought the other person owed him.
Rather, since Meng Shenji didn't accompany him, it meant he must have given instructions beforehand.
The Director of Teaching Affairs was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties.
After Li Tian found him and stated his purpose, the other party indeed did not refuse.
Two yellow, two purple, three black.
The Director of Teaching Affairs was a Spirit Saint, which indicated that the quality of his Spirit should not be too poor.
The moment the replication was completed, Li Tian received feedback.
The Director of Teaching Affairs's Spirit could fuse with the Thousand Machine Umbrella.
However, this was not worth getting excited about, as he wasn't aiming to replicate this particular Spirit.
"Thank you, Director!"
Pretending to need a drop of blood to complete the Spirit replication, Li Tian bowed and thanked him.
"You're welcome!"
The Director waved his hand and said, "If there's any Spirit you want to replicate, just come find me. I might know more about the students than the committee members."
How many teachers were there in Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Tool Spirits were even fewer.
There were less than ten in total.
If Li Tian wanted to replicate more Spirits, the students were the main source.
"Okay, thank you, Director!"
Li Tian thanked him again and left the office after a brief exchange of pleasantries.
