36: Chapter 36 Attempt

"Bang!"

Mo Bai's head suddenly shattered, fragments splattered everywhere, and his corpse fell with a thud.

Yang Hao was stunned, Zhou Rin was stunned, and Parn was dazed.

"Sneak attack!"

"Sneak attack, someone's attacking!"

Taiwan Novel Network relieves boredom, ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ is super practical.

Parn grew anxious instantly, letting out a loud roar as he shielded Mo Bai's corpse with his body.

Yang Hao, Zhou Rin, and Ye Qing also acted as if facing a formidable foe.

Being able to kill Mo Bai silently made them instantly tense up.

However, Mo Bai Revived immediately after.

"It's fine, it's fine, don't be nervous. I was just doing an experiment myself, and a small accident happened."

"Huh?"

"What kind of experiment? Using your head?"

Parn gestured toward his head, somewhat puzzled, while the other three looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't understand, but they respected it.

Soon after, the group silently moved a bit further away.

"Hey, what's with those looks? That was just an accident. Do you think I'll explode again?"

Mo Bai muttered indignantly seeing them like this, then immediately focused his mind and mobilized his Spiritual Power.

There were no more prompts after the spirit attribute went offline, but Mo Bai could sense a hint of weakness in his Spiritual Power.

Dying another eight, nine, or ten times might cause his Spiritual Power attribute to temporarily drop.

But joking aside, would he really die again?

A moment later... "Bang."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Mo Bai's expression gradually grew serious; he realized that his head exploding just now wasn't an accident.

Compressing Spiritual Power to a certain degree indeed caused a faint qualitative change, but it would lose balance and explode before the qualitative change was complete.

Illusory meditation was simply unable to suppress it.

If he didn't solve this, no matter how focused or serious he was, his head would explode once it passed the critical point; being more focused would only delay the inevitable.

He glanced at Parn, Yang Hao, and the others, who had moved even further away, and curled his lip.

Casting aside distracting thoughts, he couldn't help but fall into deep reflection, then took out another crystal core and pondered carefully.

"Spiritual Power, elements, shapes..."

"Hmm, elements. Yes, the most crucial element, transcendent power."

"Zhou Rin and Ye Qing use their physical bodies to carry Magic Spell Models, thereby carrying Elemental Power to obtain transcendence. During this process, the crystal core should serve as the medium."

"If that's the case..."

Inspirations surged in Mo Bai's mind one after another, and he immediately tried again.

At this moment, the advantage of players being able to Revive was displayed to the fullest.

Through repeated attempts and Revivals, Mo Bai accumulated experience through his own direct encounters.

When he tried to introduce the wind element and water element into his mind, the illusory meditation immediately merged with the real elements, becoming real and heavy.

When he tried again, it was much smoother, but... "Bang!"

In an instant of elemental distortion, Mo Bai's head exploded like a watermelon once more, with bright red brain tissue splattering.

"No, elements are too difficult to stabilize; they go out of control very easily."

Mo Bai pondered slightly, and an idea surfaced in his mind.

With a slight thought, the incredibly real Quiet Lake in his mind rippled gently as a stream of water element merged into it, while on the surface, the wind element turned into a gentle breeze.

A sense of substance appeared within the illusory meditation.

Mo Bai had a thought.

"Smaller."

"Smaller."

"Smaller."

With each whisper in his heart, the lake in his mind slowly shrank.

Under immense pressure, his Spiritual Power slowly compressed, and a qualitative change faintly began to occur.

Then, Mo Bai took the initiative to use his Spiritual Power to control the wind element and construct the Wind Blade Technique's Magic Spell Model.

The moment the Magic Spell Model took shape, the wind element immediately began to operate from its loose state.

Stable!

At this instant, under high-pressure condensation, all the water element was excluded. The highly condensed Spiritual Power surrounding the Wind Blade Technique's Magic Spell Model instantly solidified, with the Spiritual Power being held within by the Spell Structure, and a crystal core faintly began to form within.

But at this moment, Mo Bai's movements suddenly paused slightly.

There was no mistake, but he actively destroyed the Wind Blade Technique's Magic Spell Model, and the wind element subsequently withdrew.

The crystal core, which hadn't stabilized yet, expanded instantly.

"Boom!"

His head splattered.

Mo Bai was in no hurry to Revive, floating in mid-air in his soul state for a long time.

If he had wanted to, he would have actually succeeded.

If he had wanted to, he would have already condensed a crystal core, completed the qualitative change of his Spiritual Power, and become a true transcendent.

However... Mo Bai gazed at Quiet Lake in the distance. Looking at the water, the wind, and the mountains, his heart gradually grew calm.

By meditating on Quiet Lake and the wind upon it, his Spiritual Power leaned toward the wind element and water element, and his affinity for these two elements gradually increased, while his affinity for other elements remained unchanged.

If he used the Wind Blade Technique to condense a crystal core, the water element would be excluded.

Since the wind element was a component of the crystal core, the crystal core would naturally be of the wind element.

Then his Spiritual Power would also be completely restricted to the wind element.

This contradicted Mo Bai's understanding of a Mage.

"A Mage should gain power from knowledge."

"Power is equivalent to knowledge."

"Knowledge can be transformed into power; this requires no participation from the Mage, for it is truth itself. Knowledge can inherently create truth."

"As a profession, a Mage needs only one means."

Along with Mo Bai's thoughts, an idea quickly surfaced in his mind.

"The ability to directly transform knowledge into power."

"Various elements can serve as the medium; a Mage only needs to control the elements, to control them precisely."

"The enhancement of Spiritual Power can improve a Mage's own memory and thinking capacity; this is part of its essential attributes. Therefore, I only need an ability that can continuously improve Spiritual Power's capacity to control Elemental Power."

Mo Bai recorded rapidly in the forum's notepad. As he recorded, his originally chaotic thoughts were completely sorted out, and his most fundamental goal emerged.

As for how to improve Spiritual Power? That was also very simple.

With a thought, Mo Bai slowly constructed three Spell Nodes in his mind, with pathways forming between them.

Restraint!

This Spell Structure was one he had seen in every Magic Spell Model.

In every Magic Spell Model, the number and appearance of Spell Nodes in the "Restraint" structure were different.

However, they all achieved the same effect: restraining Elemental Power.

Restraining Elemental Power within the Magic Spell Model and making it operate according to patterns; all Elemental Power could be restrained.

And in previous experiments, he had discovered that Spiritual Power could also be restrained to a certain extent.

This discovery made the corners of Mo Bai's mouth curl slightly.

Before long, six Spell Structures were lined up in front of him.

The Spell Nodes were all different; the most complex had nine Spell Nodes, while the simplest had only three.

The structures and mana pathways within them were also different.

Yet they served the same purpose.

One: to restrain a certain element. Two: to influence Spiritual Power.

And what he needed to do was very simple.

The corners of Mo Bai's mouth curled slightly. With a thought, the experiment began!

Instantly, the rotation speed of the ink box in his mind nearly left afterimages.

Full-speed operation!
