His spiritual power was sowhat insufficient.
Next was the second ability, the Paper Card Technique.
Hmm, this derivative entry hadn’t changed much. If anything, it had only gained a bit of power.
Compared to the consud spiritual power, the cost-effectiveness of this slight increase in power was very low, making it a poor deal.
Then there was the Fla Spirit.
Control over the flas had improved significantly, both the adjustable temperature range and the extent of the flas’ spread had increased.
Apart from that, the most critical change was with the Xiu Snake.
He could now control the size of the Xiu Snake.
The current Xiu Snake could grow as large as a forest anaconda, reaching twenty to thirty ters, or as small as an ordinary grass snake, asuring just thirty to forty centiters.
It was even more shocking, even harder to guard against.
However, the downside was that once the size of the Xiu Snake was set and created, it could no longer be changed.
In the past, the Xiu Snake could only be infused with the ability from one derivative entry, such as being unable to carry thunder while being invisible or unable to maintain fire adhesion while disrupting magnetic fields.
But now, he could do it.
How terrifying would a Xiu Snake with an extrely hard body beco after obtaining all abilities?
Wrapped in the continual high heat of the Fla Spirit, it could also spew flas for long-range attacks.
Thunder Driving and Electric Strategy allowed it to be surrounded by colored electric arcs, crackling with energy. It could release high-energy spherical lightning by swallowing sand and soil, as well as interfere with the enemy’s communication by randomly disturbing magnetic fields.
The Optical Invisibility Technique granted it invisibility and it could emit dazzling white light as a flash grenade.
If Jiang Shu so wished, he could make the Xiu Snake reach tens of ters in size. Such a Xiu Snake would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction.
Jiang Shu couldn’t think of any way to deal with such a monster that hardly had any weaknesses.
Other than using Shadow Cutting to directly slice it into pieces, he had few thods to handle such a Xiu Snake.
Fortunately, the Xiu Snake didn’t possess high intelligence or a will of its own; it was rely a tool snake.
If the Xiu Snake had intelligence, it could even utilize abilities like Foreknowledge, Mind Reading, and Beast Taming. Thinking higher up, even Resurrection might be possible.
But there were no ifs. If the Xiu Snake truly reached such a level, even Jiang Shu himself would be frightened, as it would no longer be under his control.
It would be a pure natural disaster, a nightmare. Lonely City wouldn’t need such a monster to exist.
The advancent of the Xiu Snake significantly increased his strength. Up to this point, Jiang Shu was already quite satisfied, but this was far from the full extent of abilities that "Peak" could bring.
Most of the remaining abilities were quantitative changes, but it was the integration of the Materialization Technique and the Beast Taming Technique that induced a qualitative change in him.
The Materialization Technique, under the "Peak" enhancent, was no longer limited to simple constructs. He could now directly manifest so complex gadgets he knew the structure of.
Taking sothing normal as an example, he could create and manifest firearms and bombs whose principles he understood.
If it were sothing strange...
The Magic Table.
Yes, the Magic Table.
And it could be linked with the Paper Card Technique’s return to city, these magic tables could all be his return points—all he needed to do was envision the number of the magic table before teleporting.
This ant he could mass-produce teleportation points.
In the future, he would be able to shuttle between different areas more conveniently. Spatial distance could no longer limit Jiang Shu’s efficiency.
However, maintaining these magic tables would continuously consu spiritual power, which even Tablet Spirit couldn’t sustain.
He calculated that with the Tablet Spirit’s power supply, tily recharging could maintain the simultaneous existence of five magic tables.
Together with the magic table’s core, he would have six teleportation points.
That would be more than enough.
Moreover, there were further clever uses for the magic table that he hadn’t even tapped into yet. He planned to maintain only five teleportation points usually because he had a special use for the remaining magic table.
Combined with the Beast Taming Technique’s manipulation ability, he could not only control the movent of the magic table but also make it disappear and reappear at will within a hundred-ter radius.
Used together with the return to city, the effect was similar to a hundred-ter range instant transfer.
Instant Transfer.
Clearly, this was an extrely fearso ability. Moreover, practically all superpower-related movies and TV shows featured this cool ability.
This ability had also been in Jiang Shu’s plans. Previously, he intended to use a fake body as a stand-in to perform an "instant transfer" magic effect. With a carefully designed stage to complent the performance, he was confident he could once again astonish his audience.
However, whether it was cultivating a fake body or building a large prop stage, it all required much ti, so Jiang Shu had shelved the plan.
Now, in so respects, he possessed the ability of "instant" transfer.
It rely had a preparatory phase, requiring control of the Magic Table to appear at the teleportation location, and the whole operation also consud a significant amount of spiritual power.
"Manifest Magic Table" — Control the Magic Table to randomly appear in various locations — Paper Card Technique return to Lonely City.
Only by completing this operation cycle could the teleportation succeed, and the whole cycle had to be perford under the augntation of the "Peak" entry, and the first two steps couldn’t be delegated to the Tablet Spirit...
The idea was enchanting, but after a few teleportations, spiritual power would be drained, which made this form of teleportation seem not so useful after all.
No, that’s not right. Why would high consumption be an issue with the ability?
Isn’t it really a problem of insufficient spiritual power capacity?
In the end, all misfortunes in the world boil down to the insufficiency of the person’s abilities.
Jiang Shu mocked himself at the bottom of his heart with a classic line.
Mana was important to him, but he still didn’t understand how to increase his own mana. Du Yuyi had told him ways, but they sounded like mystical ramblings, a veritable sphinx.
The fusion of power and spirit?
Uh, power?
Was it implying that he should join the Social Sequence to hold office?
But how could he hold office with the Character Card defining his limitations?
Wasn’t that asking for mutation?
Was he supposed to abandon his Character Card and beco a wanderer before he could take office?
But without the identity of a Magician, without the exclusive Deception entries, what was the point of obtaining power through an official position?
Clearly, this idea was impractical.
Then, a change of thought...
Take command of the Entertainnt Series?
But he distinctly rembered Sister i telling him that was sothing Li Yuntang was going to do in the future. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t possibly compete with Li Yuntang.
In terms of background, ability, and the influence of the Entertainnt Series, he was no match for the other in any aspect, nor did he have any way to gain the power of the Entertainnt Series unless he worked under Li Yuntang.
But that path held little interest for him.
This was indeed a bit of a headache, but fortunately, he could delegate tasks to the Tablet Spirit, so the urgency of increasing his spiritual power capacity wasn’t pressing.
By comparison, earning more money to unlock the Sky Tower was the priority.
His mind revisited the nineteen effects of Magic.
Creation, Disappearance, Shift, Change, Penetration, Recovery, Life-giving, Floating, Attraction, Unharmable, Anti-Natural Phenonon, Audience Disablent, Shared Reaction, Telekinesis, Recognition, Mind Reading Technique, Thought Transmission, Language, Super Perception.
These nineteen effects were the fundantal effects that Magic could achieve. Then, Jiang Shu looked towards his own Derivative Entry library.
It seed...
Had his Derivative Entry library already encompassed all the basic effects?
Jiang Shu scanned it and then settled slightly.
No, there was one effect that his performances of a dozen or more magic shows had not yet touched upon.
Unharmable.
The Fla Spirit and Thunder Driving and Electric Strategy had given him an almost immunity to fla and thunder, but ordinary knives and bullets could still harm him.
This had not been involved in the previous magic performances.
Centered on "Unharmable," an entire magic show could be perford.
Was Unharmable as a Derivative Entry useful?
Clearly it was. Although Jiang Shu could resurrect, if he died himself, the Derivative Entries would disappear, and the Tablet Spirits would not be able to resurrect him.
If "Unharmable" could be perford as his first passively existing Derivative Entry...
Then how powerful would that be?
A surge of anticipation rose in Jiang Shu’s heart for a mont.
Wouldn’t that an true invincibility?
Barehandedly countering a blade?
Headbutting a cannon?
Resisting a nuclear bomb with one’s body?
Why did he feel like he was getting more and more outrageous?
He chuckled to himself, but inside he had already begun to search through his ntal magic library.
