The power of Element Condensation is decent, but for an encounter battle like this, it’s a bit disadvantageous to need time to activate skills. I need to make some cards!
Also, Riding the Wind, which I used last time, can be put up for sale.
Since elements can react with each other, when I make Element Condensation cards, can I condense elements that cause chain reactions, and then have a single card only release one technique? Wouldn't that double the power of the technique?
After using it once in actual combat, Lu Chenxing discovered some discrepancies between theory and practice, so he began to adjust his ideas promptly.
Humming a tune, he pondered in his mind how exactly to proceed, and then prepared to simulate this battle using his Battle Simulation Technique.
Previously, his Battle Simulation Technique was used in conjunction with books like “Beast Compendium” to simulate battles against exotic beasts, but he found that ordinary second and third-tier exotic beasts no longer posed a threat to him. When he went all out, facing one or even two at a time, there was no pressure at all.
If magical elements like space and time were added, there would be even less pressure.
For example, now, when he faces a second-tier exotic beast, he can even, with a single thought, manipulate Death Attribute magical elements to obliterate it.
Therefore, this Battle Simulation Technique, originally intended to increase his practical experience, had temporarily become a somewhat useless existence.
But this battle was very different; his opponent was human, and a human who was not afraid of death. In the stadium, he hadn't really gotten serious. After using Element Condensation, he had only used the most basic techniques for attack.
So, this battle still had a strong need for another simulation, and he also wanted to see how far his full power could go!
Just then, his steps paused slightly. The wind told him that in the grass beside the shop, a large rat was squatting motionless, staring at him.
Normally, the Wind Element would also tell him where small animals were, but he didn't pay much attention. However, with the Plague Lord having just attacked Loshen City, a large rat staring at him motionless made it very difficult for him not to pay attention.
However, he pretended not to notice and continued walking forward, wanting to see what this rat was up to.
When he reached the shop door and turned to pull out his keys, he felt a surge of energy behind him.
The Plague Lord charged directly at him, its energy fluctuations continuously rising, its intensity approaching the peak of the third tier!
Lu Chenxing's expression immediately changed. This was clearly meant to kill him! This must be the Plague Lord's doing again! Is there no end to this?
Since the Plague Lord wanted to launch a sneak attack, he wouldn't pretend anymore. With a thought, ten layers of energy shields of various colors stacked upon him. Then, with another thought, ten flower-shaped cages enveloped the large rat layer by layer!
Each layer, taken individually, had the strength of an early third-tier. Even if its attack could reach the peak of the third-tier, without sustained power, it would be unable to penetrate twenty layers of obstruction and kill Lu Chenxing!
Everything happened beyond the Plague Lord's expectations. These shields and cages seemed to appear suddenly, without any warning, which made it feel despair!
What the hell is going on?! Is it a trap? Or something else? Did this kid know in advance that I was going to attack him?
It thought it had considered enough, but did it still fail in the end?
“Self-destruct! Hurry!” The Phantom Demon's voice rang in its mind.
Although it didn't know what the Phantom Demon wanted to do, at this moment, self-destruction indeed seemed to be its only option! Maybe it would work!
Lu Chenxing was looking at this unusually large grey rat, wondering what it was, when he saw various chaotic elemental energies rapidly gathering around it. The large rat's body in front of him suddenly began to inflate like a balloon!
This scene was obvious: the large rat in front of him wanted to self-destruct!
Self-destruction, relying solely on one's own energy, is impossible. Its principle is the same as an explosion: there must be enough energy compressed and gathered to produce sufficient power.
If the Plague Lord were still sixth-tier, it could self-destruct by detonating its own power of rules, because the power of rules can be considered a high-dimensional, high-density energy. Upon detonation, the energy contained within it would rapidly expand, and the shockwave, chaotic energy, and rule fragments would instantly engulf everything around it.
But it was only third-tier now, so it could only self-destruct by absorbing all the surrounding free energy!
In Lu Chenxing's eyes, it was absorbing many miscellaneous elements, intending to self-destruct with them, so he smiled, reached out and gently tapped, “Element Restriction Domain.”
The Weaving effect flickered slightly, and the technique was successfully created!
This was a technique he had just thought of, based on his “domination” of elements. He would use his magic and mental power to construct a “forbidden zone” around the opponent that only allowed things to leave, not enter. Even elements already within the forbidden zone would flee this area.
Of course, according to the composition of this technique, it would only be used against individuals whose strength was not much greater than Lu Chenxing's; otherwise, if the opponent's mental power was too strong, this forbidden zone would naturally be instantly destroyed!
At this moment, the large grey rat in front of him clearly did not possess such ability. After all, it was currently just a wisp of mental power separated from the Plague Lord's main body.
Watching the large grey rat's body, which had been gradually expanding, rapidly shrivel, Lu Chenxing revealed a knowing smile.
And in the Plague Lord's mind, the Phantom Demon's voice, full of disappointment, echoed: “What a waste!”
Before the Plague Lord could say anything in exasperated anger, that wisp of the Phantom Demon's mental power suddenly flew out from its avatar!
A hint of mesmerizing color flashed in the large rat's black eyes, and a wisp of mental power, tinged with a magical hue, suddenly shot into Lu Chenxing's eyes.
Lu Chenxing's body stiffened. He could feel something entering his spiritual world, and then he quickly immersed his consciousness within it.
At the same time, the small sword hanging around Lu Chenxing's neck flickered faintly with light, but after a moment, it became silent once more.
And after the Phantom Demon manipulated this wisp of mental power into Lu Chenxing's spiritual world, it couldn't help but feel a little lost. Although the scope of this world was not very large yet, it was no different from a real world! It had never seen such a spiritual world!
This made it momentarily unsure where to start, but then it turned its head and saw the peculiar immortal stone on the summit of Huaguo Mountain. The wisps of iridescent light were quite mystical, and they were subtly changing the magic and mental power within this world.
Without hesitation, this wisp of mental power covered the immortal stone!
“How foolish, the core of the spiritual world is so obvious, as if he's afraid others won't find it!” The Phantom Demon scoffed, thinking that while Lu Chenxing's spiritual world was mystical, he himself didn't seem very intelligent.
But the moment it was about to cover the immortal stone with this wisp of mental power, it felt an inexplicable, irresistible suction emanating from the immortal stone, and the immortal stone also grew larger and larger!
The closer it got, the faster it moved. It vaguely sensed something was wrong and tried to use its power of rules to escape, but it was completely unable to. The power of rules seemed to have failed here, which made it completely panic, “Don't….”
Before it could finish its sentence, it was completely swallowed by the immortal stone!
Lu Chenxing, who had just entered, happened to witness this scene and was stunned. He was wondering what the immortal stone had eaten and if it would be alright eating random things, when the immortal stone once again emitted a radiant glow, and a wisp of pure mental power replenished the world!
This made his mind feel a refreshing coolness, and his mental power instantly broke through to the late second tier!
