Chapter 436: Chapter 406: True Architecture Series Magic (Large Chapter)
Before the establishment of the Magic Research Institute, it had been extensively advertised through newspapers.
Even ordinary survivors living in Green Shadow knew what Combat Skills and Magic were, and Awakeners understood even more.
High-star adventurers could exchange for Combat Skills such as Heavy Slash and Blood Slash, costing the equivalent of a C-grade Equipment.
Besides that, the adventurer guild also offered exchanges for universally-applicable Basic Cultivation Dharma Methods like Knight Cultivation Method, Five Heart Sky Qi Absorption Method, Dual Yuan One Transformation Cultivation Method, which were less expensive than Combat Skills.
The use of Combat Skills allowed the dispersal of Qi Blood Power throughout the body to be concentrated at one point, exploding with power far beyond normal.
Extremely exquisite, even the so-called easiest to learn, "Heavy Slash," required them first to practice the individual movements derived, then integrate their own Qi Blood, and finally achieve a blend of Qi Blood and movements in a short duration to initially master "Heavy Slash."
Magic was even more complex than Combat Skills, requiring the use of Source Power to be cast, but... how did the upper echelons of the Sanctuary come up with these?
Why is there such a huge disparity between people?
If Tang Yu knew what the adventurers were thinking, he too would have marveled—without any foundation, how did those predecessors create Combat Skills and Magic?
Now, the Territory had at least collected a couple of hundred Skill Books, and with several Rune Language Books setting the foundation, Tang Yu had the idea of creating new Magic... to have others create.
...
Located next to the equipment manufacturing area, the newly completed area spanning several acres belonged to the Magic Research Institute.
For now, there was only a main building; the other areas might either house more buildings or serve as an experimental area for Magic in the future, not to mention the possibility of further expansion—after all, what Green Shadow had plenty of now was land.
But property prices were never going to be lowered.
Experimental grounds.
Surrounded by crystal walls capable of absorbing energy, beneath the ground lay a Source Qi pool to ensure easier and more convenient magic casting.
Behind the crystal walls and ceiling, there were Image Retention Crystals that recorded the casting process—an upgraded version modified by Kevin that transformed the original one-time use Image Retention Crystals into sustainably usable ones, though its large size rendered it impractical for portable use, even if it could fit into a Space Backpack.
Eileen arrived early here, extending her fair and delicate palm, where icy blue currents circulated and rolled around her palm.
At times they turned into ice crystals, at other times, into water flows.
At times they formed a spear over a meter long in her hand, and at other times, they transformed into an icy blue Ice Shield.
The control she demonstrated would leave anyone who saw it in awe.
The employees of the Logistics Department had their eyes wide open, completely captivated by the strong and beautiful sight before them, utterly becoming fan girls.
’But this is not Magic.’
Eileen focused her gaze on her hand, her hair scattered along the sides of her neck, her expression concentrated and serious.
Shortly after, a group of people walked in.
Summoned by the Magic Research Institute, the first to arrive included various Corps and Earth Series Ability Users from different departments, totaling 23 people.
Eileen dissipated the Ice series Source Power condensed in her palm, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, her breath emitting faintly, maintaining a friendly yet appropriately authoritative aura... that she learned from a book called "On the Self-Cultivation of Leadership" a few days ago.
Though Eileen was unaware that she already naturally exuded an icy demeanor.
The newly arrived Earth Series Ability Users felt a chill and involuntarily shrank their necks.
"Hopefully we aren’t here to be sliced up for research. I don’t want to die young, I’m still so handsome..."
A ripple appeared in Eileen’s calm eyes.
Indeed... the speaker, rather chubby, had a scar stretching from the corner of an eye to his chin, giving him a particularly terrifying look.
She recognized this man, Peng Bo, an Awakener of the Ninth Layer Peak, the most powerful among all Earth Series Ability Users, whose Talent Ability was Rock Armor...
Thus, Eileen’s gaze fell on Peng Bo.
Peng Bo shivered so much that it seemed his 300 pounds of flesh might just fall off.
...
The initial Special Ability awakened could be considered the Ability User’s innate Magic, also serving as inspiration for creating their own Magic.
Eileen’s Magic came either from comprehending Magic Books, or from inheritances, or... was extended from the Magic she mastered.
The latter had some innovation, but it was still far from creating her own Magic.
Her Talent wasn’t rooted in the Earth Series, and she didn’t know Earth Series Magic, but by analogy... maybe it was hard to execute, yet Eileen’s understanding of Magic was truly unparalleled in the Territory.
Through observing a large number of similar spells, she sought ideas to construct new Magic.
The first to demonstrate was Peng Bo.
To facilitate better performances by Earth Series Ability Users, soon a large amount of earth and stones was transported from outside the building.
With a low shout from Peng Bo, numerous fragments of earth and rock flew and adhered to his body, merging together into a tan Rock Armor.
The appearance was plain but the defensive power was not to be underestimated.
A team leader of the Guardian Corps, summoned to demonstrate his strength, launched a "Heavy Slash" onto the Rock Armor. Peng Bo stumbled back a few steps, minor cracks appearing on the Rock Armor, but it was largely undamaged. The "Heavy Slash" could not penetrate the defense of the Rock Armor, even absorbing much of the force.
At Peng Bo’s thought, the cracks on the Rock Armor quickly repaired.
