Chapter 451: Elental Compression
“Did you think that my elental aura was extrely weak?” The old man saw through Xiao Lin’s thoughts before waving his sword in the air.
The faint glow of fire turned vibrant for a mont, but it only maintained for less than a second before the flas dispersed. The entire process was extrely quick, and even Xiao Lin, who was staring unblinkingly, almost did not catch it.
The professor did not say anything after waving his sword because he noticed that Xiao Lin was deep in thought. After a dozen or so minutes, Xiao Lin finally relaxed his eyebrows in realization, saying hesitantly, “Even though it wasn’t very obvious, I could sowhat feel the imnse power that was emitted for a brief mont, but why was it so short? Did you use so special ability to hide your elents from perception?”
“No, that’s not right.” Xiao Lin quickly shook his head. “The elents cannot be hidden. Hold on, what was that strange feeling from earlier?”
Xiao Lin muttered to himself by the side, but it was useless to just think about it like that, so he sat down cross-legged on the floor, closing his eyes as he rapidly entered his ditative state. The old man raised his eyebrows, not disturbing him, instead waiting for Xiao Lin by the side.
In the ditative universe, Xiao Lin tried to use his Perception to investigate the surrounding space. Thanks to the old man’s slash, the surrounding elental fragnts had yet to completely disperse, so from the perspective of the ditative universe, Xiao Lin could clearly see countless stars lingering around him.
However, the stars that represented those elents were very strange. They still emitted the glow of a star, but the size was very different from the usual ones he saw in ditation, and there were also a lot of fragnt-like structures in the surroundings. Of course, it was not strange to see those in the real universe, but in his ditative state, those were oddities.
Just like that, he spent half an hour in his ditative state. Xiao Lin then reopened his eyes, and when he looked at the old man, his expression was filled with respect.
“It seems that you understand.” The professor laughed.
“The compression and release of elents. Heavens, how did you do it!” Xiao Lin was amazed, he had more or less understood how that slash was done.
What Professor Zhang did earlier was actually very simple. He had consistently compressed and combined massive amounts of elental energy; the final product might be the sa in size, but despite the similar size and numbers, it contained unthinkably shocking power. When released in the blink of an eye, the destructive power was naturally surprising.
Even though it sounded simple, Xiao Lin, who was no longer a re rookie, knew that it was sothing not even the elental spellcasters on Planet Norma had managed to do in tens of thousands of years. Compressing the elents, especially to the degree that there was practically no external leakage, was similar in difficulty to taking two stars and smashing them apart before putting them back together. Even the structural integrity of the stars needed to be maintained.
Ever since Dawn Academy had co to the New World, there were countless people who researched the problem, and even when they tried to combine Earth’s physics and magical knowledge, the results were the sa.
Yet now, it had just happened right in front of Xiao Lin.
If not for the shushing motion the old man had done beforehand, Xiao Lin would have cried out in shock. It was a miracle, not just from a magical perspective, but it could also be said to be a miracle of microbiology.
“Keep it down. I don’t want anyone else to know,” the professor said in a low voice, his expression clear that he was not joking. He really did not want it known.
“Why?”
“They would not approve of my thods,” the professor said. “Those stubborn b*stards are the sa as those unaging mages on Planet Norma. Their way of thinking has been set in stone!”
Xiao Lin was speechless, but he had nothing to do with it anyway. His head started to race, and he smiled as he said, “Are you going to teach that?”
“That depends on how much you can learn. You should realize how much elental compression will enhance the combat ability of elental sword aura, right?”
“Of course!” Xiao Lin said.
Elental sword aura was very different from inner sword aura, because it involved controlling large amounts of external energy. Elental sword aura did not rely on sword technique; it simply used brute force. Yet, that ant it was easily handled, and was hard to control as well as inner sword aura.
If the elents could be suppressed, then elental sword aura would be not that different from inner sword aura. Not only that, Xiao Lin had even thought about the next step; if he used it in spell casting, then many spells would be enhanced. The value of it would be hard to asure.
“In truth, it’s not hard to be done. You just need to view the elents as life forms. Inanimate objects are hard to combine, but if they were alive, compressing and combining them is not that difficult.”
“It sounds reasonable, but surely it’s not that easy?”
“Why don’t you start learning from ditation! Elental sword aura has always needed Basic ditation as a foundation. It’s a pity those stubborn fools in the academy aren’t willing to allow to open up a ditation class for elental sword aura.”
“Oh, I think my ditation rank should be enough.”
“No, not that useless all-purpose ditation you’ve learnt. How do I put this?” The professor tilted his head and asked, “If you want to truly control the thod of compressing the elents, you first need to start from necromantic ditation, which you probably don’t know as a new student. Let explain, the natural world has three main types of energy, life, death and elental...”
“I know. The elves use life energy; humans and most races use elental energy; and death energy is used in so necromantic spells and by dark races.” Xiao Lin had already read about that in the library.
“Yes, in order to understand life, you first need to start with death energy. That sort of energy is called the breath of death...”
“Oh, what about after that?”
“What do you an after that?”
“How do I compress the elents after learning necromantic ditation?” Xiao Lin asked directly.
Professor Zhang furrowed his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. “Don’t be too eager to soar. I know you’re curious and excited, but the class needs to be taken step by step. Necromantic ditation isn’t easy, especially for soone like you who has already grasped basic diation.”
“But I’ve already learned necromantic ditation.” Xiao Lin could not help but speak up.
“Oh, is that so?” The old man nodded, before his eyes suddenly widened. “What? Hold on! What did you say?!”
