Even though it wasn't his first time seeing them, Chen Bugu still felt that the strange way skill spheres were described was very jarring.
However, he was familiar with the Recall skill.
The skill sphere for Recall wasn't particularly rare because this skill originated from an insect-like magical beast called the Clear Mind Snow Silkworm.
This magical beast is widely distributed in the border regions of the Zero Realm's northern lands.
Due to its extremely prominent reproductive capabilities, the Clear Mind Snow Silkworm population is also very large, so the number of mutated individuals is relatively higher.
The effect of the Recall skill is to enhance the user's mental resistance, effectively expelling the influence of negative emotions on the individual, and is commonly used to immunize against mental skills' control.
For example, when facing Jiang Sisi's "Bewitchment", Recall can enhance the resistance effect, making one's emotions less likely to be stirred into obsession.
However, this skill has a very impractical point.
It is an active skill…
If one were to constantly use Recall to guard against opponents, the consumption of mental energy would become a burden.
Therefore, in his previous life, the Recall skill was mostly used in conjunction with 'berserk-type' state skills or drugs.
This ensured that after activating a 'berserk-type' state, the user's emotions and judgment would not be overly affected.
Dongcheng Xiuwu's reason for collecting this skill sphere might be related to the berserk-type drugs he used in combat, but unfortunately, his ring did not have any excess reserves of that drug.
This was originally a very good tactic, but the 'Light Element Affinity > 10' restriction still deterred a large number of people.
But for Chen Bugu, this was not a problem.
Purple light flickered in his eyes again, and with a gentle squeeze of his right hand, the skill sphere shattered.
White light points merged into Chen Bugu's body, and after he closed his eyes and reopened them, he could see faint Light Elements in the air.
After using Recall, Chen Bugu felt his mind clear and his thoughts sharp.
The consumption of Recall is 1 point of mental energy every 5 seconds, which is neither large nor small.
As time passed, Chen Bugu increasingly felt the power of Decipher.
Just the ability to allow him to learn skills without restrictions was enough to call it a divine skill.
Most importantly, whether it was Fireball or Recall, these elemental skills all required a certain elemental affinity as a prerequisite.
Logically speaking, an Awakened with 0 Light Element affinity should not be able to see the scattered Light Elements floating in the air unless someone mobilizes these elements to gather into energy.
But Chen Bugu's Decipher broke this rule; it changed the conditions and order, allowing Chen Bugu to mobilize Light Elements by using Recall.
And long-term use of Recall could, in turn, gradually promote Chen Bugu's Light Element affinity.
This meant that as long as Chen Bugu could learn enough elemental skills, he might even be able to master all elemental abilities.
As for becoming an Elemental Son of all elements, Chen Bugu dared not imagine.
The growth of elemental affinity through skills is very slow; for example, with the Fire Element, even if he kept using Fireball, his Fire Element affinity has still not reached 10 points to this day.
Moreover, elemental affinity, like an Awakened's level breakthrough, becomes more difficult the further one progresses.
Chen Bugu was trapped in Kefuke's memories for an incredibly long time, and it was only through this long river of time that he gradually gained the favor of the Wood Element and Water Element.
Such an encounter is almost irreplicable.
To obtain high elemental affinity, one either needs innate abilities like Bai Ting, or relies on equipment bonuses like the Boots of the Earth.
Normal people can only achieve a slow increase in elemental affinity through continuous practice over a long period. Even so, not everyone has the opportunity to become an elemental affinity user, let alone an Elemental Son.
However, Chen Bugu suddenly had a bold idea.
He mastered the Space-Time ability; although the Space ability has not yet been displayed, the power of Time has already begun to show its might.
Is there a possibility that once he can completely master the power of Time, he can accelerate his control over other elements…
Thinking of this, before the excitement could appear, Chen Bugu seemed to think of something else and frowned instead.
When he used the crystal to teleport just now, in the silver space he entered, Chen Bugu could feel the power of Space, but he didn't see any Space Elements.
Now that he thought about it, when using Bullet Time and Recall, the flow of Time power was very clear, but Chen Bugu was also very certain that he had never seen Time Elements.
But Space-Time is indeed an elemental ability; the power of Time and the power of Space should both be composed of the most basic elements, yet he couldn't see them at all.
In the Muka Tribe's secret realm, he gained the favor of the Wood Element and Water Element, becoming an Elemental Son of both Water and Wood Elements.
Because of this, he clearly felt the difference.
Bi Yu Wei Lan is a medium; even without Bi Yu Wei Lan, he could mobilize Wood Elements and Water Elements, but because he didn't have corresponding skills and insights, he couldn't form powerful attacks.
However, conversely, he awakened Space-Time, yet he couldn't even see Space-Time Elements.
This feeling was like the Water and Wood Elements became his fists and strength, while Space-Time was just a weapon...
Although it was somewhat difficult to understand, Chen Bugu didn't dwell on it.
Whether it was fists or weapons, it didn't matter; as long as it could become his strength, it was already enough.
Once he became strong enough, these questions would eventually have answers.
After the skill sphere was used, the most striking items remaining in Dongcheng Xiuwu's ring, besides the Lianxin Crossbow, were the beast crystals.
3 beast crystals from level eight magical beasts, 10 beast crystals from level seven magical beasts, and as for ordinary black obsidian crystals, they were piled up into a small mountain. This wealth in Obsidian Town would be enough to cause a scramble among minor factions.
It's a pity that beast crystals and black obsidian crystals have always only circulated as currency. Besides some beast crystals that can be used as forging materials, most of them have no special use.
In his previous life, he heard that the faction Han Badou belonged to had spent a lot of time and resources researching beast crystals, and finally discovered a way to extract the energy inside the beast crystals.
However, the extraction process would cause an 80% energy loss, and the final results obtained were far less than the cost required for each extraction.
Since it wasn't worth the effort, the research on this technology was quickly halted, and beast crystals continued to dutifully serve as currency.
However, this reminded Chen Bugu that the energy inside beast crystals might not be unusable.
Chen Bugu continued to use Decipher. The originally hard level eight beast crystal suddenly became brittle in texture, and a layer of mist suddenly covered the inside of the crystal clear body. Impurities were eroding this level eight beast crystal at a visible speed.
After a short while, cracks appeared on the surface of the beast crystal, followed by the entire crystal Breaking open from the middle. This change left Chen Bugu stunned.
Because he clearly felt that he had gained a surge of energy!
