Chapter 437: Chapter 406: True Architecture Series Magic (Large Chapter)_2

Very practical defense Spell!

Later, Peng Bo demonstrated other unique techniques, such as extending his hand and scattering a handful of gravel toward the enemy, which turned into hard objects and became stuck in the enemy’s joints...

For example, extending spikes from the Rock Armor, turning himself into a hedgehog, where he could charge straight into the enemy and pierce them like a honeycomb.

This belonged to an extension of Magic, transforming a defensive Magic into a Thorny Armor that incorporated both attack and defense.

Changing the concept of Armor wasn’t unusual, however...

Eileen instructed another Earth Series Ability User present, who was only second to Peng Bo, to replicate Peng Bo’s Thorny Armor.

This Earth Series Ability User had strong control abilities, stepping forward as the ground’s soil automatically adhered to him, forming a suit of Rock Armor strikingly similar to Peng Bo’s.

The Rock Armor quickly transformed, generating sharp earth spikes that caused onlookers to cringe.

This imitation scored 82 points. freёwebnoѵel.com

Yet,

the Strongman Captain randomly threw a punch, smashing the earth spikes and penetrating the armor, striking the chest of the Earth Series Ability User.

The punch wasn’t strong.

The Earth Series Ability User merely staggered and stabilized himself, yet the armor attached to him, accompanied by cracking sounds, shattered.

This Armor was too fragile!

At best, it was only a bit harder and more substantial than ordinary soil and couldn’t compare to Peng Bo’s Talent Magic "Rock Armor".

It was merely shaping soil using Earth Series Source Power.

Its practicality was very low.

Eileen wasn’t surprised, recording and pondering while instructing the Ability User to continue demonstrating.

Inspired by Peng Bo, this Earth Series Ability User took a deep breath, extended his hands, and suddenly the soil underneath the Strongman Captain exploded, boiling soil turned into several earth dragons and swiftly bound the Captain.

The binding was artistically done.

Talent Magic "Earth Spirit Binding".

It belonged to a class of control Magic.

Subsequently, about twenty Ability Users demonstrated their Special Abilities in turn.

Some possessed abilities like earthquakes, not limited to the ground, that could make any material containing the Earth Element vibrate—excellent for demolition.

Other abilities included ground drilling, allowing rapid underground movement but not truly merging with the soil—Elementalization was an ability possessed only by individuals in the Transcendent Second Stage.

...

Swoosh!

A two-meter-tall sharp ground spike instantly stabbed out from the soil, its sharpness very high, easily piercing through D-grade protective equipment. Except for powerhouses like Peng Bo who could be completely enclosed in armor, everyone else tightened their legs in chill.

The ground spike Ability User didn’t stop there, waving his hand again, causing a dense mass of ground spikes to rise from the soil.

This was a Magic he had evolved from many practice sessions, "Multiple Ground Stabbing."

If he had strength comparable to Peng Bo, these ground spikes wouldn’t be much weaker in hardness than the Rock Armor.

After the demonstration concluded, the Ability User walked a few steps closer, clenched his hand into a fist, and with a cracking sound, all the ground spikes shattered, piling up into a mound the size of a small hill.

’Future experiments for Magic should preferably be conducted outdoors.’

Eileen thought to herself.

She understood that after demonstrations from over twenty Earth Series Ability Users, the amount of mud and stones in the experimental area had actually increased.

Like the ground spikes Magic, which seemed to burst forth from the soil, in reality, part of it was formed from the Earth Series Source Qi in the air, which condensed and transformed.

From energy into tangible matter.

Even if the research facility didn’t provide soil, most Earth Series Special Abilities could still be executed.

"Rock Armor," "Earth Spirit Binding," "Multiple Ground Stabbing," these abilities could all be directly condensed from Source Power; the presence of soil merely sped up the process, acting as a field boost.

’But if one disregards Talent Abilities and tries to control Earth Series Source Power on their own to condense it into soil, the difficulty is very high, nearly impossible.’

Eileen contemplated, ’Fire Series and Water Series can achieve it, but fire itself is a form of energy without a need for transformation, whereas the air contains a large amount of water molecules... Molecules and elements... and Source Qi, they are completely different, existing on two different levels.’

An entire day passed with little progress.

Eileen was not discouraged, after returning to the headmaster’s office, she repeatedly watched, analyzed, and pondered the recorded video data, her desk cluttered with one draft after another.

...

For several consecutive days, the "adventurer guild" posted a task to assist the Magic Research Institute, attracting more and more Earth Series Ability Users to demonstrate at the institute.

Peng Bo and others were regulars, assisting with the task and earning rewards from the internal system.

The work wasn’t just about demonstrating Talent Magic; some ideas were also proposed and executed by the Earth Series Ability Users.

They themselves proposed many ideas.

Being personally involved in the process of researching magic, everyone was incredibly excited, as if insignificant individuals were given the opportunity to participate in national aerospace projects, nuclear projects... What they were doing was not just researching magic, but creating history!

Many said they would take the task even without rewards.

...

For several consecutive days, finally stepping out from the Spirit Space, Tang Yu’s mind was somewhat hazy, but undoubtedly, his understanding of Combat Skills and magic had deepened considerably.

After resting for a while, he headed straight to the Magic Research Institute.

It was late at night.

But lights were still on inside the institute.

"Earth Magic, the most common characteristic, is its solidity."

Just as Tang Yu pushed open the office door, he saw Eileen frowning, her desk piled up with draft papers.

He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache.

Wanting to persuade her, he met her eyes and before he could speak, she said, "I’m already Transcendent, this isn’t tiring for me."

Transcendents, of course, didn’t need sleep.

But at a glance at those drawings covered in countless data and lines, Tang Yu knew Eileen must have been relentlessly thinking about creating Earth Magic these past days.

The thought process of a Transcendent was fast, but even so... no one could withstand it continuously for a long time.

But Tang Yu didn’t persuade her further.

Just like before he spoke, Eileen had already preempted what he was about to say; he knew persuasion was futile.

He simply sat down next to her, picked up the drawings, and began analyzing them himself.

...

Tang Yu sometimes furrowed his brow, sometimes deep in thought.

These people, while practicing Combat Skills, were also constantly thinking and had unique insights into the Combat Skills and magic itself.

Although not as much as Eileen, their exchanges could also be enlightening.

"So you mean, the easiest magic to create currently is one that makes soil hard?"

"Exactly, most Earth Series Ability Users’ Talent Magic includes the characteristic of solidity, which provides a lot of data to analyze. On the other hand, it also shows the nature of Earth Source Power.

My idea is to create a circular Earth Shield. There’s no speed requirement for shaping the Earth Shield; circular shields are simple in structure, easier to control during Source Power construction, and are highly practical. If it could be created, it would be a magic that could be widely promoted."

Tang Yu understood.

Magic, as long as there’s enough Source Power, could be used; Earth Shield Spell... Ability Users of other series, or Awakeners who stepped into the Source Condensation Realm and condensed Source Qi cyclones, could also learn it, but for non-Earth Series Ability Users, the learning would be more difficult and casting slower.

A fully formed magic couldn’t change shape as freely as a Talent Ability.

But as long as it’s easy to learn, it could be promoted, greatly enhancing the Army’s strength.

That was also the original intention of creating magic.

Suddenly raising his eyebrows, Tang Yu twirled his pen and said, "Not just Earth Shield, any shapeable, sturdy magic could also be applied to buildings."

"Buildings? You mean fortifying buildings?"

"No, no." Tang Yu shook his finger.

Eileen looked unusually puzzled.

Tang Yu paused before saying, "As long as the solidity is sufficient, then we could directly use soil to shape buildings, even sparing the rebar."

Previously, Earth Series Ability Users helping in construction mainly flipped soil for foundations or accelerated the process with Earth Series Source Power during cement pouring.

Now... Tang Yu imagined future defensive constructions where an Earth Series Ability User, with a grand gesture, would create buildings as if 3D printing, suddenly erecting a skyscraper.

The difficulty, naturally, was greater than the Earth Shield.

"The execution of magic might not allow a skyscraper to form instantly, but by breaking it down, making it like building blocks into several, perhaps ten or more fixed shapes, the difficulty reduces greatly. Furthermore, with Earth Series Ability Users, the firmness of the building block joints is not a concern at all."

"If it could be created, that would be a true Architecture Series Magic."
