48: Chapter 48 Shit Mountain Code

"So that's how it is."

"While the crystal core in a magic beast's body stores Elemental Power for casting spells, it also serves as the central hub for the beast's entire growth system."

The crystal core projects the Magic Spell Model into the magic beast's body, overlapping with the skeleton. The Elemental Power stored within moves through the projected Magic Spell Model, simultaneously overlapping with the bones.

The magic beast then uses its roar to trigger skeletal resonance, completing the resonance between the bones and the Elemental Power. This overlap forces the Elemental Power to fuse with the bones and even diffuse into the surrounding flesh and skin."

At this moment, Mo Bai experimented continuously, feeling the Elemental Power steadily merging into his bones as a certain phrase came to mind.

"Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound!"

The ultimate tool for chasing Taiwanese novels, super smooth.

In his excitement, Mo Bai waved at Parn. Seeing his confusion, Mo Bai spoke up.

"Kill them all, kill them all."

"Oh, okay."

Understanding now, Parn immediately took action. The Blazing Fiend Boars perished one by one amidst their roars.

Mo Bai retrieved the crystal cores, while Parn tied the two boars together.

"Parn, that's enough. Take these two boars back first; I'll continue on my own."

As he spoke, he saw Parn hesitate.

"That's an order!"

"Don't tell me you're planning to just throw these two boars away?"

"Besides, I'm just going to observe next. I won't be killing or capturing anything, so I don't need you."

After speaking, Mo Bai headed directly toward the area where he had previously sensed elemental fluctuations. Left behind, Parn looked at the Blazing Fiend Boars on the ground and then at Mo Bai's departing back.

"Go on. I won't die; I can Revive."

Hearing this, Parn scratched his head before hoisting the two Blazing Fiend Boar carcasses and sprinting back toward Quiet Lake.

Mo Bai spent some effort reaching the next location. After searching around, he immediately discovered a Magic Beast Leopard based on subtle clues.

Under the coverage of his Spiritual Power, the leopard was clearly somewhat alert, but Mo Bai immediately dispelled his hostility. He just silently focused on the frequency of the leopard's roar and vibrations while also sensing its elemental fluctuations.

wind element!

"Roar!"

A moment later, a low growl escaped Mo Bai's mouth. His bones instantly overlapped with the wind element circulating within the Wind Blade Technique's Magic Spell Model.

wind element, mastered!

Mo Bai grew increasingly excited, immediately rushing through the forest to collect the sound frequencies required for every type of elemental frequency.

At the same time, he began attempting to reverse-engineer the process, using Elemental Power to find its corresponding sound frequency.

While secretly marveling at the wonders of biology, Mo Bai had only one thought in his mind.

Filtering a single element from the environment was very difficult; even absorption via a crystal core was extremely slow and required separation.

Furthermore, when strengthening a creature with a single type of Elemental Power, he could always feel bouts of imbalance.

So now he had one idea.

A single type of Elemental Power had to be filtered from the environment—there was no way around that.

If he needed two or even three types of Elemental Power, the steps were similar, but the filtering time would triple, which wasn't worth the effort.

But what if the Elemental Power he required was all the Elemental Power existing in the environment?

What if he wanted everything?

In that case, could he directly absorb all Elemental Powers simultaneously to strengthen his body with maximum efficiency?

Mo Bai was full of anticipation. Although he knew this could lead to major problems, it didn't matter much. What could go wrong if he just gave it a try?

At worst, he'd just pass away.

Fire! Wind! Water! Earth! Wood! Metal!

When Mo Bai found the frequency for the final element, metal, he began forming seals with his hands, and a fireball emerged.

Boom!

A Pangolin was instantly scorched black. Its metal-plate-like scales were burnt red, and it let out a frantic, strange screech as it lunged madly at Mo Bai.

But at the moment it neared Mo Bai, a spell slot in his mind lit up, and a ring of fire appeared around him.

Resist Fire Ring!

"Screech!"

The Pangolin was instantly sent flying. Staring at the mid-air Pangolin, Mo Bai had already finished forming the seals for a familiar spell.

Wind Blade Technique: Modified Version 231!

The seals were complete, and a Wind Blade emerged. A blade only half the size of a palm, looking like green jade, whistled through the air.

Whoosh!

The Pangolin's abdomen was instantly pierced by the Wind Blade, which then exploded inside its body, leaving a deep dent on the inner side of its back armor.

The metal-attribute apprentice-level magic beast, Pangolin, deceased!

Mo Bai went over to retrieve its crystal core and looked at the spell inside.

"Sharpness Technique."

Mo Bai looked at the sharp glow that condensed on his finger after casting it and immediately gave it a name.

However, the spell itself wasn't important; Mo Bai didn't plan on using pure metal element as his body-tempering element.

What he needed right now was a Spell Structure inside it.

Restraint!

A Spell Structure that all spell modules possessed, and the one Mo Bai had mastered most deeply.

earth element Restraint structure.

fire element Restraint structure.

wind element Restraint structure.

water element Restraint structure.

wood element Restraint structure.

metal element Restraint structure.

Finally, Mo Bai added his original Spiritual Power Restraint structure to the mix.

These seven Restraint structures covered every type of element Mo Bai could perceive in the surrounding environment, and even included the Spiritual Power he could provide himself.

At this moment, Mo Bai did not hesitate. He pieced together the seven nearly identical functional Spell Structures after making some targeted adjustments. They barely stabilized, forming a Magic Spell Model for the six elements plus Spiritual Power.

This Magic Spell Model had no spell effects; its only function was to restrain the six elements and Spiritual Power within its range.

A Magic Spell Model consisting of ninety-nine Spell Nodes was recorded into his Spell Slots. It was exactly at the limit; even a single additional Spell Node wouldn't fit.

This was naturally the result of Mo Bai's optimization; otherwise, this pile of shitty code would have had at least a hundred and twenty Spell Nodes.

Once this Magic Spell Model existed within his Spell Slots, Mo Bai shifted his thoughts.

Buzz!

The Magic Spell Model manifested within Mo Bai's body, perfectly overlapping with his skeletal structure.

The corners of Mo Bai's mouth curled up slightly. Although this forced-together Magic Spell Model might have various bugs and strange consequences...

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel expectant.

Without hesitation, he focused his mind... "Roar!"

Using the ink box's ultimate control over his body, Mo Bai let out a roar from his throat that absolutely should not exist in nature.

It was like a boar's grunt, like a leopard's lithe cry, like a Pangolin's sharp screech... several types of roars overlapped. Mo Bai's bones entered a superposition of various frequencies, fluctuating back and forth.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

After a few attempts, Mo Bai's mouth went silent, but the muscles in his body—under his mechanical control—vibrated frantically, shaking his bones and his entire frame.

With a shift of his Spiritual Power, all the unfiltered Elemental Power was instantly gathered and incorporated into the Magic Spell Model running within his Spell Slots.

The chaotic and complex Elemental Power surged through the mana pathways into Mo Bai's body, circulating within him.

Buzz!

His body almost hummed with the vibration!

Buzz!
