164: The King's Dilemma

This was truly a realm Li Wen didn't understand: Elemental Affinity.

He knew absolutely nothing about this concept.

However, he was clearly aware of some things regarding the "Proof of Elements."

One must know that the "Proof of Elements" is the hallmark of a Mid-level Monarch, and beings possessing it are often referred to as Law Monarchs.

Obtaining the "Proof of Elements" is no easy feat; the prerequisite is that one's control over the relevant elemental law must reach 1%.

Once successfully entering this stage, the accompanying pet beast can communicate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!

As a result, the combat power they can display will far exceed what it was before, truly making them supernatural beings in the truest sense of the word!

Speaking of which, King-Rank Beginner is actually divided into two different levels.

First, when a pet beast's growth level successfully reaches a certain point, specifically when its Energy Value has accumulated to the million-level but it has not yet mastered that awe-inspiring Monarch Tier pressure, such a Monarch is usually called a "Pseudo-Monarch."

Then, if these pet beasts continue to grow and develop for a period of time and eventually successfully acquire Monarch Tier pressure, they can then be called "Pressure Monarchs."

However, in practice, people generally don't use the latter title; more often than not, both are simply referred to as "King-Rank Beginner."

Further up is the realm corresponding to King-Level Advanced: Domain Monarch!

The "domain" referred to here is not a concept in the ordinary sense, but a genuine, powerful domain like that of the Tree Emperor, capable of encompassing and enveloping a certain spatial range.

One must know that the so-called "domain" required for a Commander-Tier to break through to Monarch Tier is, at most, only a rudimentary form of a domain.

Yet even so, this immature domain still provides considerable assistance to Commander-Tier powerhouses.

Once a pet beast enters this new stage, with the enhancement of domain power, they can effortlessly conceive and create their own unique secret techniques.

Because of this, people usually regard this stage as the enlightenment period for secret techniques.

Before this, any secret technique had to undergo extremely precise and clever calculation and meticulous design to ensure its successful execution.

This is also why those people displayed such exaggerated expressions when they witnessed Ya Bao unleash the "Sword of Life."

What lies beyond that? Li Wen knew nothing about it, because in the relevant documents his experienced senior brother had sent him before, the introduction to this part of the content stopped there.

At this moment, facing the new problem that had arisen, Li Wen unhesitatingly sought help from his senior brother again. He believed that with his senior brother's extensive knowledge and helpful nature, he would surely receive useful guidance in a timely manner.

As expected, not long after, a brand new document was quickly sent to Li Wen's phone.

Li Wen opened the document.

【Elemental Affinity】: The various elements existing between heaven and earth inherently possess a certain exclusiveness. Different types of pet beasts vary greatly in their efficiency when absorbing and utilizing these elements. Therefore, if a pet beast is relatively less repelled by a specific element, its affinity with that element will naturally be higher.

【Proof of Elements】: The laws contained within each element are countless. Only when a pet beast's affinity for a certain element successfully reaches 100% is it possible to truly master the law power of that element. Furthermore, when this control is further increased to 1%, the pet beast will obtain the extremely valuable "Proof of Elements."

Once possessing this "Proof of Elements," the pet beast can better communicate and interact with the elements between heaven and earth, thereby greatly enhancing its own strength.

Upon seeing this, the stone that had been weighing on Li Wen's heart finally slowly fell back into his stomach.

He thought to himself, at least from the information currently understood, these concepts are not overly abnormal.

On the contrary, they seem more like a relatively basic or lower-tier level of the "Proof of Elements."

Thinking of this, Li Wen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his wallet was safe.

Next, for Yuan Wang, what awaits is the seemingly monotonous yet crucial cycle: Catalysis, absorption, and Catalysis again.

This process will repeat continuously until the conditions required for evolution are finally met.

Yuan Wang, however, seemed quite at ease with this; after all, he now only needed to quietly stay in the secret realm and focus on cultivating the Slime Clan.

Compared to before, there wasn't much substantive difference, merely needing to set aside more time for Catalysis.

Meanwhile, Li Wen on the other side was already preparing to begin his personal experimental phase.

This experiment was not complicated or cumbersome; it could be done directly.

The first thing to deal with, naturally, was the materials, including processing and restoring various materials.

However, it is worth noting that when it comes to pet beasts, their inherent advantages are fully demonstrated at this point.

Taking the Parasitic Vine as an example, even if it had been moved, due to its unique trait of being able to move freely, there was no need to worry about problems like root damage affecting its vitality.

Directly fast forward to the second part of the entire plan: the pre-stress stage.

It is important to know that all living organisms possess a certain degree of adaptability.

However, this adaptation is not achieved overnight but requires a gradual process.

For this reason, before commencing formal stress actions, we must first employ a relatively gentle, low-intensity adversity to guide the target organism to gradually adapt, thereby effectively avoiding stress-induced mortality caused by excessive stimulation.

In essence, this is simply out of concern that the target organism might be directly scared to death by a sudden and intense threat.

This treatment method is also not complicated; it merely requires temporarily placing the yin sen wood that Ya Bao had already discarded into the target organism's Growth environment.

Next is the third part of the entire plan, the formal stress phase.

After a moderately long period of pre-stress, the target organism can be confidently placed inside Pingdu Mountain.

Of course, Teacher Lu must also be arranged to closely monitor all dynamic changes throughout the process.

As for how to successfully persuade Teacher Lu to obediently comply, Li Wen naturally had his own unique methods for that.
