Chapter 1192: 374. The vicissitudes of ti
Isle 33 of the Suman Archipelago Core Circle.
The weather was clear, and the sea surface was calm.
Noland Lee held a tea cup in his hand, standing on the balcony of his study room, overlooking the clear seawater below.
The surface of the sea, like shattered glass, reflected arcs of light that flickered across his face.
Noland’s lips curled into a smile as he took a sip of tea, feeling content in his heart.
He had obtained several batches of Level 3 Energy Conversion Arrays, following the example of the Lamp and Professor Erica, two private friends who lent their arrays for Noland’s use.
...
Now, within the energy conversion area of the Fourth Underground Level, there were a total of 80 conversion arrays at work.
Most of them were Level 3, with a few being Level 4.
Although he had yet to see a 5th level or 6th level conversion array to date, he was already very satisfied with the current speed and efficiency of conversion.
Nolin calculated that after about two months and five days, the magical energy needed for the first stage of constructing the Sub-Dinsional Plane would be ready.
This efficiency had increased by nearly 200% compared to ten days earlier, which naturally delighted Noland.
Furthermore, the work on exploring spells with the “Mold Energy Art” and advancing chanos through Alchemy was also progressing very smoothly.
After consuming nearly 300 million Points of Energy and more than 10 million points of Soul Energy, Noland discovered nurous local magic and several wild magic.
Local magic was not worth ntioning as it was recorded in books.
There were three wild magics in total.
The first wild magic was “Forced Ignite Magic,” which, given sufficient fire energy, could forcibly ignite a target. The more difficult it was to ignite the target, the more fire energy it consud.
This wild magic had an especially strong panel description, suggesting it could be used to ignite just about anything.
After nurous trials, Noland found that “Forced Ignite Magic” was a type of powerful yet largely superfluous wild magic.
Indeed, it could be used to forcibly ignite anything, but the consumption was terrifyingly high.
Take a batch of dried wood as an example.
Igniting a bundle of wood, half a person’s height, only required 10 points of fire energy.
However, if you exchanged the wood for a small stone, the consumption would skyrocket from 10 points to 100 million points!
Yes, 100 million points!
Noland read the system ssage several tis to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
To ensure the rigor of the experint, he specifically used 100 million points of fire energy to forcibly ignite the stone.
The stone burst into a fireball with a loud “puff,” ejecting intense flas, quickly burning from the inside out within three seconds, eventually turning into black smoke that drifted away.
100 million points of fire energy only resulted in a less-than-beautiful display of fireworks…
Noland just felt a pang of pain.
If he wanted the stone to explode, why not just use “fixed point thunderstorm technique” to detonate it? It would at most consu a hundred or so points of thunder and lightning energy, far from the need for over a hundred million points of fire energy.
“Forced Ignite Magic,” a waste.
The second wild magic was “Swift Ocean-making Magic.”
Its effect was exactly as nad, which was to create an area of sea water rich in corrosive properties and deep sea magic power at a casting speed far exceeding ordinary “Ocean-making Magic.”
The size of the sea water area was directly proportional to the amount of Deep Sea Magic Power invested.
This wild magic caught Selena’s attention because her “Ocean-making Magic” was a local magic.
“Ocean-making Magic” required very little consumption of Deep Sea Magic Power but had extrely high energy demands on the caster.
As a wild magic, “Swift Ocean-making Magic,” on the other hand, had exactly the opposite characteristics, requiring a lot of Deep Sea Magic Power but very little energy from the caster.
Seeing Selena’s interest in this wild magic, Noland promised her that once they got their hands on the Sub-Dinsional Plane, he would teach her this technique.
The third wild magic was similar to “Swift Ocean-making Magic,” also involving the creation of physical entities with magic power, and its na was “Magic Wall.”
The more rock and soil energy was invested, the higher the defense of the “Magic Wall” would be, with changes to its thickness, length and height.
Because Noland was exploring magic with the intention of constructing a Sub-Dinsional Plane, of the three wild magics he discovered, two were related to the construction.
In the near future, “Swift Ocean-making Magic” and “Magic Wall” were sure to shine in the Sub-Dinsional Plane.
Looking at the achievents in developing chanos.
The Capacitor Package chanos had been improved, adding the “Power-enhanced Type” for enhanced lethality, the “Swift Type” for enhanced movent speed, and the “Hidden Type” for enhanced anti-detection capabilities.
Based on the design of the Capacitor Package chanos, Nolin developed the “Thermal lt Bag chanic Spirit” and the “Acid lt Bag chanic Spirit.”
As implied by its na, the Thermal lt Bag chanic Spirit contained a large amount of fire energy and could direct a high-powered Fla Pillar, instantly burning through protective gear below Level 60.
The Acid lt Bag chanic Spirit was similar, only its interior stored Acid Liquid, which was converted from Rock and Soil Energy.
The Capacitor Package chanos were for combating non-insulated armor and engineering facilities, Thermal lt Bag chanos specifically targeted items with low heat capacity and rapid temperature increases, and Acid lt Bag chanos were the bane of all items with poor acid resistance.
When combined, theoretically speaking, Noland now had the confidence to overco 60% of Wizards.
But this was not enough.
In the future, when competing for the Sub-Dinsional Plane, he might face enemies at the Transcendent-level Tier.
At the Transcendent Tier, ordinary physical and energy thods might not be effective.
For example, that Transcendent Wizard nad Clint “Windhawk.”
