Chapter 846 Advancent Preparations
[Beep. Advancent data has been organized. Display now?]
Greem, who had been deep in ditation, was woken up by the newest notification from the Chip.
He slowly opened his eyes.
“Display it!”
His mind flickered as a flood of data flashed by.
The speed of data transmission could not be captured by the naked eye. Fortunately, elentium adepts excelled at Spirit. Their Spirit, after strengthening, could not only change and morph freely but also had an excellent ability to help with thinking and increased brain processes.
It was the main reason that high-grade adepts had an eidetic mory and could master complex three-dinsional arrays with their minds alone.
Greem had done similar calculations before. After becoming an adept, every point increase in his Spirit was akin to connecting to another intelligence center. The higher the Spirit, the more intelligence centers that were working in tandem. Thus, the brain of an adept would get smarter and smarter, able to process those mountains of mysterious information.
One could frankly claim that the mind of every adept was already like a terrifying and intelligent computer. However, they lacked the necessary operating system, and one could only drive the brain to work with one’s own childish and crude logical instincts.
In this process, the Chip undoubtedly helped Greem a lot!
It was only with the Chip’s organization of data and resources that he could maximize the true potential of each point of Spirit.
“Chip, display my current bodily attributes!”
[Order received; data has been transmitted.]
So light crackling rang out as a very familiar data board appeared before Greem’s mind.
[Greem.
Peak Second Grade.
Profession: Elentium Adept (Fire Specialization)
Bodily Attributes: Strength 14 1 (20) | Physique 17 (21) | Agility 11 1 (9) | Spirit 29 (30)
Note: Attributes in parentheses refer to post-transformation statistics. Profession Skills: Body of Flas, Fla Fiend Transformation...]
After all these years of accumulation and training, Greem’s Spirit had finally reached the peak of Second Grade: twenty-nine points. It couldn’t be helped. These days, the Chip had been unable to capture any signs of his Spirit improving regardless of how he ditated and trained.
It was important to note that the cooperation of the Chip and his Spirit had now allowed for capturing the smallest difference and increase in it, all the way down to five decimal points. Unfortunately, despite half a month passing by, neither ditation nor consuming potions to increase his Spirit allowed it to increase by even a little.
Even the two points of Spirit that the Fire Throne set provided him had lost their effectiveness!
Judging from this, Greem’s Spirit would forever be locked at twenty-nine points unless he found a way to advance to the next grade.
Maximum Spirit was only a fundantal condition for advancing to Third Grade. What was left was whether his magic studies had reached the required standards. On this point, Greem had absolutely no issue, especially with the help of the Chip.
“Chip, how has the analysis of the subject knowledge required for advancent gone?”
[Beep. All adept knowledge analyzed. Prepared to transmit at any ti.]
“Transmit now!”
His mind flickered again as a series of magical studies with fire magic at its core started to surge into Greem’s brain in an orderly fashion. Much of this knowledge was stuff that Greem had never learned before, but with the in-depth analysis and proper organization of the Chip, all of the impurities and mistakes had been removed. It now flowed through Greem’s mind as a pure stream of data.
Though most of the knowledge was foreign, it was quickly stored in the depths of Greem’s consciousness when it flowed into his mind. It beca like information that Greem had studied for dozens of years and was a part of his soul instincts.
Any adept knowledge needed countless magical experints to prove and confirm, from beginner to expert in the subject. It required a long ti for thought and accumulation. However, with the Chip, Greem skipped over much of this ti-consuming work.
Every piece of knowledge transmitted into Greem’s mind was ever so familiar to him. It had already beco part of his system of knowledge.
After thoroughly analyzing and mastering the High-Grade thods of Spirit Utilization, Greem instantly understood the ridiculous mistakes he had made in the past with Spirit. He also gained an elentary understanding of how high-grade adepts rapidly use Spirit in battle.
He contrasted what he had learned with the mory of his fight with Yurga and quickly found things that resonated.
When high-grade adepts fought, they rarely expended the effort to fire spells with stable elentium models. Instead, they used large amounts of primal elentium particles to bombard the enemy. Thus, they skipped the process of elentium molding, allowing their spells and attacks to beco faster and more vicious.
As for the slight bit of loss in the elentium’s might? That could entirely be made up for with faster casting. Compared to the traditional thod of handsigns and chanting, battling like this gave them more flexibility and allowed them to do as they pleased.
However, manipulating unmolded elentium particles was always more complicated than handling ford spells. That was why this style of combat had been possible for high-grade adepts only. Even if the low-grade adepts wanted to do this, they would fail because of their insufficient Spirits.
anwhile, Elentium Conversion was a mandatory lesson for all elentium adepts!
It was only when an elentium adept had mastered elentium conversion that they could adapt to wherever they were and complete their spell systems. For example, Greem frequently used Lava Shields and Magma Fireball. These were spells that combined fire and earth magic. If Greem had no understanding of earth magic, he would not be capable of handling compound magic of this nature.
Moreover, elentium conversion was also critical knowledge for stepping out into the void of the outer realm. If Greem could not master elentium conversion, he would have trouble surviving in the strict and harsh environnt of outer space.
Disregarding everything else, just the matter of not having drinking water would kill a high-grade adept!
Greem still retained a human body of blood and flesh after all. Though the need for food and water had been reduced to the minimum of a human body’s needs, it couldn’t be completely removed. Under ordinary circumstances, Greem wouldn’t be affected by fasting, even for three to five days. However, if this period were dragged out to ten days, Greem would start showing severe signs of weakness in battle.
If he didn’t have the minimum food and water intake required to sustain his flesh in a month, then he risked the actual possibility of dying of thirst and hunger!
However, as long as Greem advanced to Third Grade, this limit could be extended to over six months.
That ant Greem would only need to eat every six months to et his biological needs.
The reason elentium conversion was so important was because of the Create Water spell that the adepts had invented.
In circumstances where they couldn’t get away from another world or ancient ruin, and where drinking water couldn’t be found, adepts could use Create Water to create elentium water for their consumption. However, elentium conversion was undoubtedly a prerequisite for learning Create Water.
Of course, the Coldfla rune that Greem had previously mastered also belonged to the subject of elentium conversion. However, Greem had only managed to use the Coldfla in the past by relying on so incomplete runes. It was like sothing he knew how to use but of whose principle he didn’t understand.
Now that he had mastered elentium conversion, Greem had a chance to decipher the Coldfla rune completely!
Still, both of these subjects were not as useful to Greem as the Energy System Auto-Construction Model. It was the true core knowledge that Greem needed to advance to Third Grade.
In the past, Greem had always relied on his body’s instinct when forging his body of flas. He let his flesh and fire energy remain in a very delicate energy balance. This process was done by destroying the body’s original structure and allowing fire elentium particles taken from outside to seep into his bones, tendons, flesh, and organs. He was using small, delicate fire energy fields to protect his most vulnerable human parts.
In all seriousness, Greem’s body of flas might be very powerful, but his human body was still as frail as china. A slight bit more force could cause him to shatter into pieces!
With the knowledge of the Energy System Auto-Construction Model, Greem’s body could now adjust and optimize itself based on the conditions and situation. He could now turn the multiple independent and tiny energy fields into a complete and self-consistent system of energy circulation.
This way, his human body would no longer be his weakness and flaw, but a strong foundation to his fighting power!
......
......
This advancent knowledge flowed through Greem’s mind, each part of it moving him and causing new thoughts to pop up. When combined, these subjects pointed the way to a higher grade!
However, Greem would always have walked down certain ‘wrong paths’ during his studies, growth, and developnt in the past. He needed to correct these mistakes before he actually advanced.
Moreover, this process was one that took a considerable amount of ti!
Furthermore, the orc totem tattoos he got from Strongwoods Plane had also yielded so results. They would be of great help to his transformation tattoos.
Before he advanced, he had to confirm the newest version of his Fla Fiend Transformation tattoos.
Once he finished that, Greem could rely on the imnse modification process of the advancent stage to his body and Spirit to assimilate the new tattoos, allowing him to possess a powerful combat ability the mont he stepped into Third Grade.
Moreover, the Soul Repose ability he had obtained from the orcs had also shown so decent research conclusions. It would be excellent if he could use the advancent to incorporate this ability into part of his own.
Greem was also carrying far too many magical contracts bound to his soul. Trying to step across the threshold of Third Grade was extrely difficult with so many burdens on him. Thus, after so thought, Greem gave up on the soul contracts of the Stitch Ghost Golem, Zacha, and Snorlax. He only kept the soul brands of Alice and the Spirit of Pestilence.
After this period of getting along with them, Greem was confident that he had the loyalty of Zacha and Snorlax, even without the soul contracts. anwhile, the Spirit of Pestilence was enough as a soul pet. The Stitch Ghost Golem would only drag down their improvent in their future.
However, now that he had nurtured the Stitch Ghost Golem into a Second Grade ghost spirit, it would be a waste to just throw it away like that. Greem intended to take advantage of the soul modification process of the advancent to peel away the Stitch Ghost Golem and forge so sort of strange magical equipnt.
This way, he would be able to make full use of the Stitch Ghost Golem while also lightening the burden on his soul!
