Chapter 656: Chapter 491 Ask Yourself_1

Zheng Yichen rubbed his fingers together, and several clusters of Elements power appeared in the palm of his hand: a whirlwind, a water orb, a clump of earth, lightning, and light particles. Looking at these Elements powers in his hand, Zheng Yichen realized that his Elements manipulation was currently missing one thing: fire.

It seemed that among all the enemies he had encountered, none had used fire. He might have come across it during group battles, but in those, he directly unleashed Hellfire and incinerated his enemies completely, leaving no opportunity to absorb their power.

It was time to complete his mastery of the other Elements powers, right in this world.

Observing the remarkably stable Elements powers in Zheng Yichen’s hand, the fire dragon said, "You don’t know magic, but your mastery of this power is high!"

"It wasn’t so high at first, but after I became more powerful, it increased. I’m just still missing a few attributes." As Zheng Yichen spoke, the whirlwind in his hand transformed, taking the form of a miniature behemoth, a giant dragon. The energy intensity of this world was incredibly high, making Zheng Yichen’s manipulation of Elements power all the more effortless. Even wind, a force notoriously difficult to shape into precise forms, could be finely manipulated in his hands.

"Look, with that skill alone, you could be a teacher."

"The problem is my use is entirely spontaneous; I wouldn’t even know how to teach it to someone else."

The fire dragon pursed its lips: "Come on, others can’t even achieve what you can. If you can’t teach, you can use practical teaching, let the students observe your method of power use. Those with enough talent will naturally grasp something. Those students who discover their bloodline powers have a taste for this kind of talent."

Zheng Yichen nodded, dispersing all the Elements powers except for the lightning. A restive bolt of lightning in his hand was forcibly compressed into a Lightning Sword. The blade was smooth, and except for the occasional flash of encircling lightning arcs on the surface, it looked like a tangible weapon: "How about this?"

"..." The fire dragon scratched its head: "The academy is going to have to pay you extra for this, and it’s going to drive the bloodline power exploring students crazy, even becoming a new research topic for mages. That’s outrageous!"

This was after all lightning, a more restless Elements power compared to the wind. Shaping it into a sword was not impossible, but after compression, the restlessness of the lightning Element would usually be evident, and the blade would appear quite fluctuant. But in Zheng Yichen’s case, he managed to craft a sword with a smooth blade, looking as though it was forged from metal.

Not only that, but the details at the hilt were also finely crafted – this was lightning, not earth or water Elements, which are less demanding in terms of manipulation.

The fire dragon felt that when Zheng Yichen sparred with it back in Hazy City, using only a warrior’s power, he was probably holding back?

It had no doubts about the strength of the Lightning Sword casually created by Zheng Yichen; that sword could definitely slice through its scales.

The Lightning Sword in Zheng Yichen’s hand dissipated, and the fire dragon curled its lip. The lightning that made up the dissipated Lightning Sword smoothly merged back into the environment without causing any strong fluctuations. This skill was not something others could easily learn.

With a slight grin, the fire dragon said to Zheng Yichen: "Alright, enough showing off. With that skill, no one in the entire academy will ever look down on your girlfriend again."

The place they were in was a Magic Academy, and there were students around. Although it wasn’t a classroom, it was still under magic surveillance. While the substantial Elements power created by Zheng Yichen might not have attracted attention, after he crafted the wind dragon and Lightning Sword, the events here would certainly have been seen by the overseers in the academy.

The observers didn’t intervene because there was no need. The teaching area was covered by powerful anti-magic magic array formations. Should Zheng Yichen demonstrate any intent to attack, those magic arrays would activate, neutralizing any ’magic’ threats.

"Actually, I could have done even better." Zheng Yichen felt slightly regretful. The incomplete Unity of Heaven and Man, although nearly imperceptible, was like a percentage-based enhancement. In low-energy environments, due to the low basic values, a slight percentage increase seemed barely noticeable.

That kind of enhancement might not even reach a decimal point.

In high-energy environments, with higher base values, the effect became much more apparent. Can a hundredth of a hundred be compared to a hundredth of ten thousand?

"Okay, okay, if you keep this up, someone might not be able to resist taking you away to be studied," the fire dragon waved its hand: "Are we leaving later, or should we go now?"

"Let’s wait a bit." Zheng Yichen wanted to see how Katrina was progressing in the magic remedial class.

The reason Eileena previously asked the fire dragon if it could use magic was because she intended to employ necromantic skill during her studies, not to communicate with the dead but to use Wise Dragon No. 9.

After observing for a while and seeing that everything was normal, Zheng Yichen decided not to stay any longer and left the Magic Academy with the fire dragon. As they left, he could still feel some covert gazes. Once he activated thermal vision, he could even see the dense, differently colored ’thermal lines’ within the Magic Academy.

"As for materials, the merchant guild has them. Oh, and by the way, official students of the academy can enjoy additional discounts at the merchant guild by showing their student IDs because many guilds collaborate with magic academies. This isn’t a privilege that remedial students can enjoy."

Because he needed to buy raw materials, the trade guild had arranged for a person in charge to take them directly to a warehouse. After checking that the materials were fine, someone immediately packed them. It was a modest-sized magic-powered vehicle with an expanded interior space, a fairly standard freight truck in this world.

It didn’t occupy much space and yet had a large transport capacity.

Upon returning, Zheng Yichen had Lilith start working. The motorcycle’s Universal Toolbox opened and assembled a work robot; the rest was just waiting. All the equipment Ahn Ke needed could be produced by the Universal Toolbox, but due to its size constraints, only small devices could be made, ruling out large ones.

Even so, Ahn Ke was very satisfied.

"Well, since I’ve settled down, I’m going to handle some serious business," the Fire Dragon rubbed its hands together and couldn’t wait to leave Zheng Yichen’s new residence in this world. The people had been arranged, and what came next was its own affair.

First, it found a place to contact its friends using the Dragon Tribe’s Secret Technique. To the Fire Dragon’s contact, those of the same species that it knew were very calm, as if greeting each other daily. The Dragon Tribe has long lifespans, so the period the Fire Dragon Klakauska went missing was insignificant to them; in fact, many did not even realize that Fire Dragon Klakauska had vanished.

It asked its kin for some of the latest news and then looked for suitable prey. Naturally, it didn’t start looking for a Demigod-level existence right away; one must progress step by step, targeting the strong first, then stronger, and finally the Demigods.

Cough cough, it wasn’t that it didn’t trust Zheng Yichen’s abilities, but it wanted to see what kind of power Zheng Yichen could exert in its own world.

The attributes of the prey it casually selected for Zheng Yichen were also crucial. He remembered what Zheng Yichen said, lacking a few attributes, so... wind, water, earth, lightning, light. The targets should mainly be from darkness, fire, and ice.

Thinking of this, the Fire Dragon felt quite fortunate that Zheng Yichen didn’t attempt to complete his attributes by directly attacking it.

Imagining itself being drained of blood and dying a miserable death made the Fire Dragon shake its head vehemently inside. Better to look for some other unfortunate soul. As a dragon, who didn’t have a few friends or enemies? And which of its friends didn’t have a few friends and enemies of their own?

With this in mind, the Fire Dragon avoided those with a restless nature when contacting friends, as the enemies of such friends might not necessarily deserve to die. However, the enemies of kin with good personalities were very likely to be justified targets.

After helping his friends take care of their enemies, they would have to thank the Fire Dragon and then assist it with future matters... This would make it easier to pinpoint the location of the Demigod it wished to kill later on.

"Your Essence of Life is of higher purity now; it surpasses that of the Skeleton behemoth." Ahn Ke used the equipment produced by Lilith to test the Essence of Life supplied by Zheng Yichen. With nothing else to do at the moment and no other materials available, he started with Zheng Yichen’s provisions.

"If the beings affected by your Essence of Life don’t mutate, then, using some of the terms from this world, it’s as if those beings have acquired your lineage, albeit forcibly bestowed."

Zheng Yichen was quite interested in the mutations his Essence of Life could bring about in other organisms: "What kind of mutations could my Essence of Life cause in other beings?"

Normal mutations are disordered, but if influenced by some external factor, mutations tend to have a certain bias.

It’s normal for combinations like spaghetti mixed with 42-grade cement.

Ahn Ke operated on his laptop that he had brought with him, pulling up some experimental records for Zheng Yichen to see: "Take a look for yourself."

Zheng Yichen leaned over to look and at first thought the experiments on mutated animals seemed ordinary, but as he continued to read, something felt off: "Why are there zombies?"

"That’s something you should be asking yourself." Ahn Ke looked at Zheng Yichen somewhat strangely: "The mutations in these experimental organisms all stem from triggers in your Essence of Life. Although mutations beyond those triggers can occur, the high quality of your Essence of Life means that the probability of such occurrences is greatly reduced."

That... Zheng Yichen thought about the beings he had previously killed and the variety was indeed very rich, including zombies among them.

"What about Withering Disease?"

Ahn Ke previously tried integrating Zheng Yichen’s genetic fragments into some test organisms, all of which died from severe Withering Disease, the incurable kind.

"The influence that Essence of Life has on living beings is more about ’inducing mutations,’ akin to organisms undergoing changes due to radiation. This is more special than gene fusion. Using your Essence of Life for Genetic Modification is simply a waste of material."

Ahn Ke had completely given up on that approach.
