In the Magic Furnace, a silver-white container resembling a huge pot, there was a red-orange colored flame. While it did not seem abundant, it was hiding an enormous destructive energy.
The large-scale magic ‘Scorching Sun’ can be projected, turning into a small sun that can incinerate everything in its path.
Its destructive power is far from being as simple as the additive power of ten super-large fireballs.
If it were to fall, even the body of the mighty Orochi, in its peak state, might be overwhelmed.
How powerful is this Scorching Sun?
It is powerful, but…
“This large-scale magic, in essence, is the super-large fireball of Duo Lai. Its power is intimately related to the energy Duo Lai inputs. If Duo Lai is at the War General Level or Leader Level, the destructive power of the ‘Scorching Sun’ he fuses will far exceed what it is at this moment.”
Of course, it only has the power of one hit.
After forming the ‘Scorching Sun’, the storage displayed on the Magic Furnace is already at maximum. Clearly, a large-scale magic created by combining ten preliminary spells also occupies ten storage slots.
It is impossible to fuse it further after the initial fusion.
“By fusing one spell after another to create large-scale magic that covers a wider range and contains more energy, and then projecting it, this is the role of the Magic Furnace.”
“However…”
“Forcing ten of the same spells to fuse together like this may not even bring out 10% of the potential of this Miracle Building.”
‘The more proficiency the user has in magic, the more formidable and miraculous the large-scale magic they create will be.’
This was a tip Mu Yuan received when he got the building.
He naturally understands, but…
Does Duo Lai have a proficiency in magic? No. Duo Lai’s magical lethality and destructive power may be very strong, and the control is even more exquisite, but Duo Lai’s understanding and cognition of magic can’t be said to be very bad. It’s almost zero.
Unfortunately, Lord Mu’s proficiency in magic is also almost zero.
Therefore, he used the ‘Absolute Fusion’, ‘But the least amplification change’ of the same skill fusion law. The Magic Furnace is not only capable of creating this slightly rough, but violent large-scale magic.
There can be a higher level, such as continuous thundercloud coverage;
It can be more exquisite, such as forming a wind barrier to protect the entire territory;
It can be more miraculous, for example…
“Why not try it!”
Despite continuing to experiment, it is necessary to first throw out or annihilate the large-scale magic that has already been fused together, but for the sake of the excellent building, not trying it feels like ants crawling all over the body, very awkward!
“But, Duo Lai can’t do it anymore-”
Its eyes are spinning, really can’t squeeze out one more full strength.
Mu Yuan also understands, he can’t force Slime to do something it can’t do, “No matter, we can reduce the energy output, use ‘low energy consumption’ magic to try. After the test, if this combination is feasible, change to a full output magic.”
“Yes, oh.”
Indeed, the almighty Lord.
Wait, just now, it had output so many super-large fireballs at full power?
After the Scorching Sun was dispersed, Mu Yuan commanded Duo Lai to do a new attempt, this time, he selected several spells to match.
Three ‘Super-large Fireball’, three ‘Thunderbolt’, and four ‘Endless Whirlwind’, are all miniaturized versions.
Then, he controlled the building to start the fusion.
‘Tip: Large-scale magic fusion is in progress…’
‘Tip: Large-scale magic fusion failed.’
“Don’t panic, this is within our expectations.”
“Let’s reduce some more combinations, only use simple wind and fire skills.”
‘Tip: Large-scale magic fusion failed.’
“Then how about adjusting the ratio of the spells a bit, how many combinations can there be for two spells… 5 kinds.”
‘Tip: Large-scale magic fusion failed.’
“Uh, then let’s change the arrangement of the spell nodes again, how many combinations can there be for two spells?”
‘Failed.’
‘Failed.’
‘Failed.’
-Darling-
Duo Lai lay flat on the floor; it seemed to have an image of a feast in its mind, and the main dish on top looked a lot like itself.
It even drooled.
Great Lord Mu was in contemplation.
Lord Mu tried for himself.
Mr. Mu also can’t.
“We can’t even fuse the most basic two spells; something definitely isn’t right.”
“Or should we say, being able to fuse before was just the ‘Magic Furnace’ giving us dumb students a safety net?”
Mr. Mu tried again, indeed, if you use the same skills then you can directly fuse in quantity, but if you input different materials, it involves many changes.
He is able to use skills, and he is able to bring out the best of them, at least reaching the ‘Expert-level’ in controlling the Fireball Technique. But he does not understand the principles, logic, and theoretical knowledge of magic.
No can do.
Even General Dead Bone can’t.
Dead Bone: I get it, I can use it, I created my own skills, I am skilled in seventy-two changes, but I don’t know how to explain to you that I understand this issue.
Just like a swordsman might be powerful, but he would likely not forge a peerless sword.
These are different fields.
It also has to do with one’s military background—if it’s something one naturally cultivates over ten or twenty years, cultivating a very solid foundation of elite-level technical strength, then perhaps they would possess some theoretical knowledge of techniques.
He heard that there was no such thing as a military background in ancient times.
There was also no fixed rank; people could develop into ‘warriors’, ‘mages’, ‘archers’ and other professions through their own cultivation. If they were able to gain some rare inheritance or secrets, they could become ‘Ghost Swordsmen’, ‘Explosive Flame Mages’, ‘Solar Archers’ and other high-order professionals.
The direction of development was very free.
However, it would take a lot of time, energy, and 99% of talent for a professional to learn a skill.
“So, the operators needed for the Magic Furnace are mages who have mastered a complete system. They are scholars, researchers, and far beyond just being able to fight.”
“The Magician’s Tower has somewhat similar requirements, but it is much less rigorous.”
This is why he didn’t exchange for ‘Mage’ troops.
A rare One-Star mage at most would put points into the Fireball Technique. Even if they were to evolve and awaken self-awareness, mastering multiple techniques, they would have to start from scratch if they wanted to make magic scrolls.
He’d be better off learning it himself as Lord Shepherd.
“We still lack talent, top talent.”
After slaying the Orochi, the next few days were calm.
Mu Yuan reduced the frequency of his explorations.
Firstly, he temporarily had some money, and it was necessary to slowly convert this wealth into domestic power, which was what really mattered;
Secondly, he was worried about running into something unusual. He felt somewhat uneasy about fighting monster tribes now, what if the next Attendant Ascendant he encountered was stronger than the Orochi?
Servants were also ranked.
As were totems.
Thirdly, to find a suitable raid area now, he needed to go at least a hundred kilometers away. The journey would be time-consuming and tiring, which would greatly affect the cultivation of Dead Bone and other deputies.
It was time to lay low.
Feeling the lack of strength, figures like Dead Bone were deeply immersed in full-force cultivation. Even General Duo Lai felt his strength was insufficient.
—In the battle in the dungeon, it took a much longer time to kill a minor BOSS than Rakshasa and Hong Yi.
As a senior, it was a complete loss of face!
“So, you need to develop a more penetrative and precise single-killing move.”
Lord Mu said.
Using the Duo Lai template, he wove together the power of the wind and fire to form one roaring flame dragon after another, which disappeared in an instant.
“That’s not enough, you need more focused power.”
Mu Yuan considered that since Duo Lai had control of the thunder element, and could condense steel, why not develop a ‘Super Electromagnetic Cannon’ type of killing move?
However, Duo Lai couldn’t really understand the principles and assembly mode of the electromagnetic cannon, and at this stage, he may not necessarily be able to accurately control electromagnetic forces.
Mu Yuan thus compromised and said, “Let’s start with the Thunder Spear, and try a more basic fusion of thunder and steel.”
Then,
Great Lord Mu arrived at Rakshasa’s cultivation spot where the muscular and Dark-skinned man was repeatedly wielding his Evil Spear.
As energy flowed through him, the Evil patterns on his body seemed to come alive, exuding formidable power.
This was a characteristic of the Evil Ghost General. Evil power ran through their bodies, Hong Yi did not have these patterns.
“Your technique is not wrong, but you can dig a bit deeper into the power of Evil. For example, you can store the power that is not needed in the normal course of action in the Evil patterns. When necessary, you can unseal the pattern to gain more power.”
This move, he borrowed from Dead Bone.
General Dead Bone’s talent, ‘Death Extraction’, allows him to turn excess energy which cannot further increase the limit into crystals attached to his bones. However, to deal with the Orochi this time, Dead Bone used up at least half of its ‘years’ of accumulation and felt quite insecure for a while.
Rakshasa’s Evil patterns were somewhat special, Mu Yuan knew very well as he had used Rakshasa’s power before.
“Like this… like this… and like that, it’s almost there, you can continue to explore.”
So instructed Teacher Mu.
If it could be created, he, as Great Lord Mu, could also gain access to this move for himself.
No, what he taught couldn’t be called copying, it should be called an inspection by the teacher.
He quickly went on to check on Hong Yi.
The construction of the Illusory World was progressing rapidly for Lady Hong Yi, Mu Yuan didn’t have much he could instruct her in, but…
“Based on the scene of the Illusion, you could try to develop venue skills.”
Teacher Mu pointed this out with piercing insight.
After satisfying his instructing desires, Mu Yuan hesitated between the Training Field and the Mage Tower for a moment, eventually choosing to return to the Mage Tower to rest.
Hardly had he lain down when the phone in Lanxing began to vibrate.
Mu Yuan had no choice but to get up, “biu” back to Lanxing, pick up his phone, and continue to read while lying down.
“@A11 members, shocking news, quickly check the forum, there’s the latest news about the Hero Festival!”
“The Tai Xuan Astronomical Association predicts that the Hero Festival will very likely start in a month. The Lords who have formally established their territories for not more than two years and eight months can prepare in advance.”
Unlike some predictions, the Astronomical Society’s forecasts are not plentiful, but when released, their accuracy rates are exceedingly high.
The previous red moon tide two years ago, and the year before that, had very accurate predictions from the Astronomical Society.
This time,
“In addition to the time, the Astronomical Society has also predicted more detailed rules for this Festival..”
