Chapter 308: Chapter 231 Electromagnetic Spear

Metal Manipulation!

Ji Xinghuo’s heart surged with excitement. This ability was a Transcendent Ability in itself, incredibly rare, and he hadn’t expected that upgrading the Rotating Magnetic Field to Fourth Level would come with it.

He carefully felt for a moment and discovered that his metal manipulation differed significantly from the ability recorded in the Alien Species database.

The known ability was called "Control Metal."

After merging, one must touch the metal to control it, to deform it, melt it, or turn it into liquid, and it was only a temporary control with intense consumption of Star Power, inconvenient in many aspects, and extremely difficult to train and upgrade.

However, his own metal manipulation didn’t require touch; he could do it through the air!

But the distance was rather short.

Ji Xinghuo quietly tried and found that beyond ten meters, he exceeded his range of manipulation.

This distance was precisely the radius of his Electrostatic Field.

Even when the Rotating Magnetic Field reached Fourth Level, expanding the magnetic induction range to about five kilometers, the radius of the Electrostatic Field remained unchanged.

And his manipulation of metal was also confined within these ten meters.

Ji Xinghuo realized in his mind: "The Electrostatic Field and the Rotating Magnetic Field must overlap, forming a complete Electromagnetic Field, to manipulate metal."

But this didn’t affect his Perception of metal.

The larger the magnetic field range, the greater the Perception range for metal.

Ji Xinghuo played with a Titanium Alloy Arrow in his hand, appearing nonchalant, but in reality, he was deeply exploring his control over metal.

The arrow gently floated up, then fell down again.

When no one was paying attention, the arrow in his palm slightly deformed and then restored itself.

"Control over the metal’s shape is still weak."

"Not as good as ’Control Metal.’"

Ji Xinghuo mused that this might be related to the "Iron Magnetism" of the metal. The main material of the Titanium Alloy Arrow was titanium, which has weak Iron Magnetism, and the other metals it contained had only a small amount of iron, so his control over the arrow wasn’t very in-depth, and the effect of the applied magnetic field strength was discounted.

But being able to manipulate remotely was a massive advantage, and the consumption of Star Power wasn’t too much.

And this was just the initial manipulation.

As his Rotating Magnetic Field and Electrostatic Field leveled up, his ability to manipulate metal would also rise significantly, penetrating the essence of the metal.

This definitely had much more Potential than "Control Metal"!

Moreover, metal manipulation wasn’t to be used on its own but had to be combined with the Rotating Magnetic Field and the Electrostatic Field to unleash its true power.

Snap!

With this thought, an electrical current pulsed on the Titanium Alloy Arrow in Ji Xinghuo’s hand, making a faint noise.

With the Magnetic and Electric Fields combined, in an instant, the ordinary Titanium Alloy Arrow was imbued with tremendous energy. At that moment, he felt as if his body were a bow, ready to shoot out the Titanium Alloy Arrow with a mere thought.

"Indeed!"

"This is the correct way to use metal manipulation."

A smile appeared on Ji Xinghuo’s face as he removed the current from the arrow, and in an instant, it returned to calm.

Unfortunately, now was not the time to test its power.

He immediately thought of several plans, the most promising being the concept of an "Electromagnetic Gun," electrifying a piece of metal and accelerating it through the Ampere Force experienced within a magnetic field.

His body would be the Electromagnetic Gun launcher!

Spherical projectiles, arrows, spears, pointed bombs—all these could work, best made from metals with strong Iron Magnetism. With his own Strength, he could also bestow tremendous initial velocity upon launching. The fired metal couldn’t be too light, the greater the mass, the stronger the power.

It also needed to be aerodynamic, reducing air resistance, making it easier to aim when thrown.

"The spear should be the most suitable!"

"Then comes the metal projectile,"

Ji Xinghuo guessed.

Driven by the Electromagnetic Field, metal manipulation, along with the kinetic energy from his own arm, a triple augmentation would result in a tremendously lethal force.

"If this works out, then I’d be a human-shaped Electromagnetic Gun!"

Ji Xinghuo’s excitement surged, almost wishing he could find a place to try it immediately.

After calming the excitement in his heart, he continued to check the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface, with 1554 points of Spiritual Origin Ability remaining; without hesitation, he poured them all into the "Electrostatic Field."

[Electrostatic Field (Third Level 2030/8089)]

As the progress increased, the radius of the Electrostatic Field expanded to about 15 meters, and the range of control over charges and metal concurrently grew to 15 meters.

Ji Xinghuo silently calculated and decided that when the Third Level Electrostatic Field was maxed, the radius should reach 30 meters.

Upon reaching Fourth Level, it would certainly expand further.

"There are still over 6000 points of Spiritual Origin Ability left," he glanced at the upgrade progress and muttered what a pity it was.

Just now, the Fog Hidden Dragon had killed over a thousand people, but he hadn’t gotten all their Spiritual Origin Ability; at least half of those people died outside his range, and the Wanxiang Star Pupil failed to harvest their Spiritual Origin Ability, altogether wasted.

"Next time on the battlefield, it’s best to stay closer to the center of combat, no more than a thousand meters away."

"But not too close either."

Ji Xinghuo didn’t want to die from being too greedy, caught in the residual effects of a Heavenly King Level powerhouse’s battle.

Next, he kept manipulating metal, getting accustomed to this Ability.

As they needed to maintain a distance from each other, the team’s speed of advance was slower than before; however, the Fog Hidden Dragon hadn’t reappeared since then.

Approaching noon.

Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo looked up towards the north; a cluster of black dots appeared in the sky, speeding towards them, causing some commotion in the team, but it quickly subsided.

"General Duo Tai has arrived!"

He Yan shouted loudly, his half-day tension visibly eased.
