47: Chapter 47 True Elemental Mastery!

"See that? Even though I don't possess the Ultimate Darkness attribute, I can still achieve this. As long as you learn it, you won't just add many new combat methods and stop relying solely on Spirit Abilities, your strength will also skyrocket. Are you interested in learning? You just need to take me as your master."

He looked at Mu Qingci with a face full of confidence; after all, he didn't believe the other party wouldn't be tempted by such a practical and powerful technique.

In fact, Mu Qingci was indeed very tempted, but he still shook his head: "I'm sorry, Elder Long, I already have a teacher. I cannot betray him and take someone else as my master."

"You blockhead!"

Long Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless at this moment.

"That old fellow Kong Deming obviously teaches you about spirit tools, but as your teacher for Spirit cultivation, there's no conflict in that!"

Reminded by him like this, Mu Qingci suddenly realized.

Looking at the current timeline, Long Xiaoyao hadn't reached the point of no return yet, so he was indeed a good choice for a backer.

Who wouldn't want a Limit Douluo as a backer behind them?

Mu Qingci was not an indecisive person either, so he immediately knelt before Long Xiaoyao and said: "Master is above, please accept this bow from your disciple, Mu Qingci!"

Seeing him be so decisive, the expression on Long Xiaoyao's face immediately shifted from overcast to sunny.

With a casual wave of his hand, a gentle stream of Soul Power lifted Mu Qingci to his feet.

"Good, good, good! I have finally found someone capable of inheriting my mantle."

Having taken such an outstanding disciple like Mu Qingci, Long Xiaoyao felt incredibly happy at this moment, which made him think of his old friend Mu En, who was far away at Shrek Academy.

As the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, the other party must have students all over the world, but he wondered if the other party could take in a genius disciple with an Ultimate attribute like he did.

"Qingci, how old are you this year?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple is twelve years old this year."

"Twelve years old?"

Long Xiaoyao's voice carried a hint of disbelief: "Are you saying you are only twelve years old this year?"

Mu Qingci nodded.

"Good, good, good!"

Long Xiaoyao said "good" several times in a row, feeling as if he were going crazy.

"A twelve-year-old Spirit King, I have truly found a treasure!"

It was no wonder he was so excited; one had to know that back in the day, he and Mu En were only at the Spirit Ancestor level at Mu Qingci's age, and they were already hailed as peerless geniuses seen once in a hundred years. Yet now, he had encountered a twelve-year-old Spirit King who possessed level 56 Soul Power and had become his, Long Xiaoyao's, disciple. How could he not be happy?

But on second thought, he suddenly remembered a terrifying possibility.

This was the Sun Moon Empire, where it was extremely common for genius Spirit Masters to rapidly increase their Soul Power through drugs.

His disciple also possessed an Ultimate attribute and such high Soul Power, which made it hard for Long Xiaoyao not to suspect that Mu Qingci had consumed a large amount of drugs to boost his Soul Power.

"Qingci, come here."

Long Xiaoyao waved his hand, beckoning Mu Qingci to come before him.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Mu Qingci, but he had to check for himself to be truly at ease.

He placed a hand on Mu Qingci's shoulder.

Mu Qingci was a bit confused, but considering Long Xiaoyao's character in the original work, he did not struggle.

A gentle stream of Soul Power flowed from his shoulder into his body.

After a while, Long Xiaoyao let go, his face full of disbelief.

"Pure and flawless, it is actually this pure and flawless!"

Just now, he had probed Mu Qingci's body with his Soul Power, wanting to look for impurities left by drugs.

But he didn't know until he looked, and once he did, he was shocked.

Not only were there no impurities left by drugs in Mu Qingci's body, but there was also no sign of the impurity in Soul Power typical of ordinary Spirit Masters.

The Soul Power within Mu Qingci was pure to the extreme, without the slightest impurity or filler.

This was what shocked Long Xiaoyao the most.

But as a Limit Douluo, he quickly adjusted his state of mind.

He looked at Mu Qingci, feigning composure: "Not bad, your cultivation is indeed solid. This makes me, your master, very happy. Next, I will teach you what true Element Control is!"

He extended two fingers together and pressed them against Mu Qingci's forehead: "I will imprint my insights into your spiritual sea. Digest them and see how much you can understand."

The methods for teaching geniuses and ordinary people are often different; geniuses are better at understanding on their own and developing things further. Long Xiaoyao considered this, which is why he used a spiritual imprint right from the start.

Mu Qingci only felt a massive amount of knowledge rush into his mind, automatically absorbed by his consciousness.

Feeling this profound method of Element Control, Mu Qingci couldn't help but feel a wave of shock. He really hadn't expected that the Ultimate Darkness and Ultimate Light, usually used to assist in battle, could actually be used in this way.

He had to sigh; a Limit Douluo like Long Xiaoyao, after reaching the end of his cultivation, had the free time to research these things, and what he researched turned out to be extremely useful.

Mu Qingci sat cross-legged on the ground and began to slowly digest those techniques and insights.

Summarizing it, it was actually about letting the elements better integrate into combat, assisting the Spirit Master in ever-changing ways, rather than blindly attaching them to the Spirit as a special effect or a stack of buffs.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Mu Qingci opened his eyes.

"How is it? It's fine if you can't understand it; if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

In Long Xiaoyao's view, since Mu Qingci woke up so quickly, he definitely didn't see anything at all.

He didn't blame Mu Qingci either; after all, these were the insights of a Limit Douluo. If a small Spirit King could understand them in such a short time, that would be truly ghostly.

Mu Qingci didn't answer but walked up to a huge piece of granite.

Mu Qingci did not release his Spirit but raised his right hand.

In an instant, the shallow Darkness Element in the air was rapidly condensing toward his palm.

In the blink of an eye, a black energy longsword appeared in his hand.

Holding the longsword formed entirely by elements, Mu Qingci slashed forward fiercely.

As the sword was slashed out, the energy longsword in his hand turned into specks of light and dissipated.

And the sword aura that had just been slashed out struck the granite solidly.

Instantly, the piece of granite was eroded by the two attributes of Ultimate Darkness and death, slowly dissolving away, not even leaving a single scrap behind.

Long Xiaoyao watched this scene, dumbfounded. He really hadn't expected that in such a short time, Mu Qingci had actually initially mastered this method of Element Control.

This could be seen from the energy sword he had condensed in his hand just now.

Coupled with the granite that had just dissolved, even if Long Xiaoyao didn't want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Mu Qingci was the most genius person he had ever seen in all his years of living.

In terms of the speed of Soul Power cultivation, even those Evil Soul Masters who used dirty methods to improve were not as good as Mu Qingci.

In terms of comprehension, he was the highest he had seen in the hundred years he had lived.
