#264 - "Elemental Mystery"
Ding! This system's permissions have been upgraded. Details are listed in the system panel. Please check them yourself, Host.
Really? Then... let's do the lottery first! Let's draw the prize before anything else!
After hearing the system's notification, Liang Yue's pretense of being a master carefully studying secret manuals instantly vanished.
He closed the book in his hand and immediately summoned the system panel. After scrolling up and down a few times, he found the unlimited-level lottery and couldn't wait to start it.
The system didn't waste any words and directly presented the lottery wheel in front of him.
Liang Yue's eyes flashed upon seeing this.
But after scanning the wheel in front of him, he still gained nothing.
It seems that even below the Innate Realm, it's impossible to find any secrets from this thing.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing the passive skill 'Elemental Enlightenment'. This skill comes from the 'DNF' game world and is the ultimate enlightenment gained after an Elemental Mage's second awakening into an Elemental Saint.
After being modified by the system, this skill can passively increase the power of elemental magic, enhance the Host's affinity to elemental forces, and improve the efficiency of using elemental magic.
It can also, to a certain extent, promote the beneficial mutation of elemental magic.
...
Watching the lottery wheel disappear and the skill icon appear, Liang Yue subconsciously bit his lip, feeling speechless.
It's not that the skill is bad; it's very good...
It's just that it's a bit different from what he had expected.
What he wanted now was a cultivation method, preferably a high-level one. Instead, he got a skill, and a magical one at that...
However, the system clearly didn't care about Liang Yue's thoughts at this moment.
The icon of the 'Elemental Enlightenment' skill instantly transformed into a stream of light, flashing and disappearing into his mind.
In an instant, a massive torrent of knowledge surged in, pouring in from nowhere, clogging Liang Yue's entire brain into a mush.
Ugh... er... um... oh...
In just a few breaths, Liang Yue, without any resistance, clutched his temples and slammed his head into a rock.
He groaned incessantly.
This state lasted for the better part of the day for Liang Yue!
The outside world's sky gradually changed from a clear morning sunrise to a dark, cloud-filled night.
When the flow of knowledge in his mind stopped and was completely received, even with Liang Yue's current physical condition, he was severely affected.
He was almost exhausted, his limbs weak, his whole body soaked in sweat, and his face showed a look of being worse than dead.
He lay on the ground like a corpse for a long time, unwilling to get up.
This... is too... something...
This skill, sigh... although powerful, it's not very useful to me for the time being, right?
Speaking of which, the magic skills I have are 'Bouncing Shot', but that's a bit like Arcane, not elemental. 'Magic Show' is more reliable and divided into different elemental attributes.
But I've hardly ever used it before...
It seems that I have to put more effort in this direction in the future; otherwise, I'll be sorry for the suffering I've endured today.

Liang Yue was naturally not a fool. With such a high-end introduction on the skill panel, plus such an awesome effect in the initial state, he certainly understood what it meant.
But the problem is that he himself doesn't have many elemental magic skills right now.
'Magic Show' counts as one, but this skill is actually a combat-type magic, and it's a semi-passive one.
After being modified by the system, he only needs to activate the skill with his mind.
Then, during combat, Liang Yue can automatically generate magic orbs behind him every few seconds while continuously attacking the enemy.
The generation speed varies depending on the energy activity in different regions.
These magic orbs have a quantity limit, and they will dissipate on their own if not used for a period of time.
It can be said that, except for activating and launching them, which requires him to use his brain, he hardly needs to worry about anything during the entire skill execution process!
According to the skill's introduction, the magic orbs formed by the skill in its initial state are of a non-attribute magic element.
Each time a non-attribute orb attacks an enemy, it will increase Liang Yue's movement speed by a certain amount.
After level ten, the orbs that automatically gather will slowly differentiate into light, dark, ice, and fire attributes.
After level thirty, it is said that even more elemental types will be developed on top of the original four attributes.
Each different attribute orb will provide Liang Yue with different attribute buffs after attacking the enemy.
Moreover, these orbs are divided into small, medium, and large sizes, with larger sizes having higher attack power.
The higher the skill level, the greater the chance of generating large orbs.
Furthermore, the level cap of the 'Magic Show' skill is a full fifty levels!
Without a doubt, this is a skill with both potential and depth, and it is worth Liang Yue's great development.
However, he had almost always ignored it before.
The reason is...
I don't need it; I don't need it at all...
I can clearly kill an entire group of enemies with one sword, cleanly and neatly, splitting them in half or something. Why would I need to add a magic orb?
Besides, I didn't have magic power before, so I couldn't activate this skill even if I wanted to, but now it's good. With magic power, the 'Magic Show' and 'Elemental Enlightenment' together are indeed worth my attention.
However, orbs don't actually need too much attention because they can gather automatically, and launching them only requires mental control.
Moreover, the operability of orbs is not very high. If I really want to further develop the potential of 'Elemental Enlightenment', I might need something else.
Xuanming Palm? Flame Blade? Or Nine Heavens Thunderclap Scripture?
Speaking of which, although these three kung fu techniques are initially powered by martial arts true energy, if magic principles are added after they are formed, the power should be increased, right?
Now that I have Elemental Enlightenment in hand, it doesn't seem difficult to achieve this effect.
Thinking of this, Liang Yue raised an eyebrow and, with a flick of his sleeve, took out the secret manuals of these three ultimate techniques from his storage space.
Time passed, and an hour quickly went by.
At this time, it had already begun to drizzle outside.
After carefully weighing the options for a while, Liang Yue finally decided to practice the Flame Blade!
In fact, what Liang Yue wanted to practice most was the Dragon Tiger Mountain's Nine Heavens Thunderclap Scripture!
However, the drawback of this cultivation method is that it is too profound.
Moreover, although they both belong to the Taoist lineage, its attributes are somewhat incompatible with the Purple Mist Divine Art.
Liang Yue has now advanced to the ranks of Innate masters, so it is naturally impossible for him to abandon his hard-earned Purple Mist True Energy and switch to practicing the Nine Heavens Thunderclap Scripture.
As for the Xuanming Palm...
Although it is not as profound as the former, it is also an ultimate technique inheritance that combines both internal and external cultivation, forming a system of its own.
Therefore, the reason for not practicing it is the same as for the Nine Heavens Thunderclap Scripture.
Only the Flame Blade...
Although it is also regarded as one of the divine kung fu techniques in the system's evaluation, it is actually just a pure method of true energy operation.
As long as it follows its characteristic true energy route, imitating it, it can be successfully executed, and it does not require specific martial arts internal force to supply it.
The drawback of this kung fu technique is that its operating route is relatively complex, requiring the practitioner to have extremely high true energy manipulation ability to be able to control it smoothly.
With a slight carelessness, it is easy to injure oneself, causing irreparable hidden dangers.
However, this is obviously not a problem for Liang Yue, who has now successfully advanced to the Innate Realm and has practiced the Great Universe Shift.
But in this way, my next arrangements seem to be a bit tight.
There's the Golden Bell Cover, the Swift Meteor, and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and now there's the magic side cultivation to consider. It feels a bit stretched.
However, if I can make some reasonable arrangements, it's not impossible...
