Chapter 329: Phased Casting
Under El Johnson's personal demonstration, Chi Yao began to try to continuously develop his moves and informed the other party of some of the situations after his own strengthening.
After El Johnson learned about the effect of Chi Yao's weapon reverse strengthening, he gave some advice.
"Your profession is very powerful. It has its own exclusive growth weapon, and it even has the effect of taking into account spells and techniques? Then why not start directly with enchantment."
Chi Yao nodded without objection.
Under the guidance of the other party, Chi Yao started with the simplest thing, "energy enchantment" for the weapon. This step did not require any technical content. It was just to wrap one's own energy around the weapon to add special effects to it.
The effects added by "enchantment" naturally depend on the characteristics of one's own energy, and one's own energy generally comes from professional inheritance and bloodline. For example, the energy of the Blue Steel Shadow of the Shadow of Destruction has the characteristic of "devouring", which is reflected in the effect of the weapon, that is, it will invade the enemy's body and devour the enemy's mana.
As for the destined energy characteristics of the profession that Chi Yao inherited, to be honest, Chi Yao himself did not fully understand it. Currently, he had only tested that it had a "stable" characteristic that was not affected by other energies. To put it in an exaggerated way, it was "immune to all poisons."
Thinking of this, Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. For such career-related questions, he still had to consult professional seniors, but Ruifei's whereabouts were uncertain and he was not often seen.
Chi Yao temporarily put aside the thought of asking Ruifei and devoted all his energy to the experiment at hand.
Because the current effect of Reverse Luck can take into account the bonuses of spells and melee combat, and it has good energy conductivity, it is an excellent carrier for spell construction.
Chi Yao looked at the Reverse Luck in his hand, and his mental strength was fully activated. His mana continuously transformed into destiny energy to wrap around the Reverse Luck. What he wanted to do was not a simple energy enchantment, but a spell enchantment. To put it simply, it was to construct a spell on the Reverse Luck, and it had to be continuously superimposed according to the characteristics of the spell linkage.
For example, in battle, Chi Yao needs to continuously cast low-level spells such as Lightning Arrow, Thunder and Lightning, Electric Current, etc., but instead of simply releasing them, he "stores" them in the reverse luck and links them in sequence before releasing them at the end.
But this process is not easy. Just continuously stacking spells is very tiring, not to mention continuously casting spells in battle and adding effects to weapons.
If Chi Yao didn't have the passive ability to multitask, doing this would be several times more difficult.
During the experiment, Chi Yao used four mental control spells, one to keep it stable and one for emergency. While the fourth spell was being superimposed, Chi Yao could see the lightning on the reverse side twisting and flashing, becoming restless.
One overlay, two overlays, three overlays, four times
"Be careful." El Johnson, who was watching Chi Yao's operation from the side, immediately reminded.
Boom!!!
A violent roar sounded in the trial field, and the thunder ball formed by the explosion enveloped Chi Yao.
"Hey! Fortunately, I'm fine." Chi Yao waved his hand to disperse the lightning. Except for his black hair standing up, he seemed to be fine. This was also thanks to his stacked lightning resistance. Even the stacked lightning arrows did not cause much damage to him.
When El Johnson saw that Chi Yao was fine, his eyes lit up and he continued speaking.
"As expected, your lightning resistance is not low. If you are not injured, then continue."
"Okay." Chi Yao nodded and continued to devote himself to the experiment.
After a night, the image of El Johnson had disappeared, and Chi Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, entering deep meditation, constantly recalling the test experience just now.
First of all, using techniques to drive spells is too far-fetched for me. To achieve this effect, at least my three passive techniques must reach the master level, and my physical attributes must also meet the standards.
However, Chi Yao's current strength was not enough to achieve the above, so El Johnson taught Chi Yao the techniques he had mentioned before to assist in the release of advanced spells.
As for the levels and power classification of spells, one thing we must realize is that the relationship between level and power is not absolute. After all, some high-level spells do not even have the concept of damage.
The power of a spell is generally determined by the mana consumed, and the level is determined by the complexity of the spell. To be more precise, the spell level determines the upper limit of the power. After all, the higher the level of the spell, the more complex the construction, and the more mana it can withstand.
And there is also a point that is quite counterintuitive, that is, the higher the level of the spell, the lower its apparent "damage conversion efficiency".
For example, Fireball and Pyroblast. Fireball is a first-level spell with a simple construction formula. It consumes a maximum of 100 mana and causes 500 damage. Pyroblast is a third-level spell with a complex construction formula. It consumes a maximum of 500 mana and causes 2000 damage.
It seems that with a 1:5 conversion and a 1:4 conversion, Pyroblast is inferior, but in fact, 4 500-point damage and 2000-point damage are completely different concepts.
Both damage and defense have thresholds. The higher the defense, the higher the damage required to break the defense. When facing an enemy with high defense, if the basic damage is not high enough, you will face the embarrassing situation of being unable to break the defense.
To put it in an extreme sense, 1 point of damage 10,000 times is just a breeze for Chi Yao, but 10,000 points of damage once is a devastating blow.
Simply put, the higher the damage limit, the stronger it is!
However, releasing high-level spells is by no means easy. The construction of the spells is complex, the casting time is long, and there are even specific chants and gestures required.
With Chi Yao's current strength, to release a high-level spell, such as Heavenly Thunder, a second-level spell with a range of 100 meters and a panel power of thousands, it would take about 20 seconds even if Chi Yao concentrated fully. In a fierce battle, this time would be even longer.
After taking Chi Yao's situation into consideration, El Johnson taught him a "cheap" method. Since high-level spells are complicated to construct, he could use simple low-level spells. If the quality is not good enough, he can make up for it with quantity.
Moreover, some low-level spells can also have linked effects. Many low-level spells are even simplified versions of high-level spells. With reasonable and effective linkage, they can exert similar power.
According to El Johnson, using low-level spells to link and achieve the effects of high-level spells is a common method used by low-level mages in his world to learn high-level spells.
After a night of testing and development, Chi Yao mastered a new skill called "phased casting".
After all, the principle of this technique is to use the linkage of multiple low-level spells to achieve an effect close to that of a high-level spell, and to achieve a phased, step-by-step effect of casting spells.
Just as Chi Yao ended his deep meditation and stood up to leave the trial field, he sensed a familiar fluctuation of fate.
"This feeling..." Chi Yao realized something and immediately took out the unused necklace from the storage space.
As expected, the Unlucky Necklace emitted a golden glow, and the effect of entering the Hall of Destiny could be activated again.
Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Weiyun necklace. This meant that a certain jerk senior who was running around everywhere had returned.
"It's good that you're back. I just happened to have a lot of things I wanted to ask."
Chi Yao raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile, and activated the effect of the unused necklace.
I have let everyone down, I am guilty.JPG
update.
Well, let's postpone the competition for a while. After all, Chi Yao's main fighting style now is that of an ordinary elemental mage, so he is at a disadvantage against the mage-destroying profession. So let's bring Rui Fei out to give Chi Yao some professional reinforcement.
(After all, in the setting, Weiyun and Miefa are considered "alternative" "allies", knowing each other well, helping each other, and developing skills)
