Chapter 119: Gene Core, Arcana Field

Chapter 119: Gene Core, Arcana Field

“Today marks the seventh week of the training camp, and I broke through Level 5 during the first week itself . ”

“After taking the Superior Gene Arcana Strengthening Liquid, and training in the first level of Underground Room 12, I can feel that I’m not too far away from Level 6!”

“I hope I can reach it today and smoothly become a Level 6 Arcanist!”

Ling Jiu first drank the Superior Life-enhancing Liquid and the Superior Gene Arcana Strengthening Liquid . Then, he finally activated the “Devouring the Stars” technique and started devouring Gene Arcana .

Buzz…

The surging Gene Arcana formed a giant vortex in the sky as it drew in all the surrounding Gene Arcana in a frenzy .

Every second, a large amount of Gene Arcana was absorbed into Ling Jiu’s body . They were divided by his cells first before being stored in his veins and meridians .

Several moments later, his veins and meridians were completely filled with Gene Arcana . Then, just like how a full bottle could no longer be filled with water, once his veins and meridians were loaded, he was unable to absorb any more Gene Arcana .

Ling Jiu knew that it was because his body had already reached its limit . To break this cumbersome roadblock, he could take two general paths before him .

Firstly, he could consume the Gene Arcana that had accumulated . It would be like pouring out the contents of a full bottle, so the emptied bottle could naturally be filled again .

That was also the reason for the real combat . He would absorb the Gene Arcana for the first three days, and consume them in the following days during combat on the field .

Absorb and consume .

Absorb and consume .

In this constant cycle, his body would grow stronger exponentially, and his capacity to carry Gene Arcana would become increasingly larger as well .

Secondly, he could compress his Gene Arcana and condense them into solids .

It was a well-known fact that for substances of the same mass, liquids would have a lower density than solids .

Therefore, when a liquid became solid, its volume would become smaller (unless it was water) .

Gene Arcana was the same . As long as he could compress them into solids, his body would be able to carry more Gene Arcana .

The process of compressing Gene Arcana into solids was called solidification, and solidified Gene Arcana were called Gene Arcana Cores .

Gene Arcana Cores were also the mark of being a Level 6 Arcanist!

“Compression!

“The key is compression!”

Ling Jiu tried to compress the Gene Arcana inside his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to solidify them .

After half a day of achieving no results at all, Ling Jiu took out his microcomputer and visited the forum to read up on related experiences .

The forum was mostly filled with bullsh*t, but there were also many good informative posts with numerous training experiences . They were from various levels, and Ling Jiu browsed through them one by one .

“General Outline for Solidification?

“Long term updates: A record of my life from a newbie to a Level 6 Arcanist!

“I’ve been stuck on Level 5 for 19 years!

“My Path of Leveling Up – A Leveling Up Record of a Village Youth!

“The Late Night Records of My Efforts to Reach Level 6!”

…

After browsing around, Ling Jiu finally had some ideas . Each Arcanist’s journey to Level 6 seemed quite different in approach but were in essence the same .

One needed to compress a small amount of Gene Arcana, solidify them, and then consume them in part…

Compress a small amount first…

A small amount…

Ling Jiu slapped his forehead and felt upset at himself . “I was just so stupid earlier . I actually wanted to compress all of the Gene Arcana in my veins and meridians into solids!

“Silly me!”

Ling Jiu admitted to himself that he had screwed up . He later found a small portion of Gene Arcana in his meridians and began to compress them .

With less to work with, his progress went smoothly . Soon after, the Gene Arcana were compressed into a little sesame-sized Gene Arcana Core!

“This is my very first Gene Arcana Core, or perhaps a Gene Arcana Core prototype? While it’s small, the energy it contains is quite amazing!” Ling Jiu muttered to himself and started to compress more Gene Arcana .

As he continued compressing, the Gene Arcana Core expanded slowly, very slowly . Nevertheless, it was expanding .

After some time, all of the Gene Arcana in his meridians were depleted . Meanwhile, the Gene Arcana Core had transformed from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a cherry .

It was now as big as a cherry, but that was still very small .

In fact, it looked rather insignificant .

Miraculously, Ling Jiu could clearly sense a difference in his surroundings at that very moment .

He felt as if he was one with heaven and earth, and he could see the tiniest speck of dust, as well as the oxygen molecules, in the air…

If he wanted to, he could even separate oxygen and nitrogen .

“Is this the Arcana Field?” Ling Jiu muttered to himself .

The Arcana Field was another mark of a Level 6 Arcanist, and some thought that the Arcana Field was an ability that came with the Gene Arcana Core .

No matter how it came about, a Level 6 Arcanist would have an Arcana Field .

Level 6 Arcanists could control everything within their Arcana Fields…

The air, the earth, the soil, the dust, the magnetic field, the gravity…

Everything was under his control .

That was why Arcanists below Level 6 were no match at all against a Level 6 Arcanist .

You can manipulate special flames?

Oh, I’m sorry, once your flames are inside my Arcana Field, they will be under my control and won’t be able to hit me at all .

You have other Arcanas?

They would be equally useless!

Therefore, against a lower level Arcanist, a Level 6 Arcanist had absolute overwhelming strength . Cross-level combat was essentially not applicable from Level 6 onwards .

Of course, while an Arcana Field was very powerful, it was only good against a lower-level Arcanist .

To a high-level Arcanist, the Arcana Field of a Level 6 Arcanist was at best just a prototype . Hence, it was fragile and could be easily broken .

Moreover, Level 6 Arcanists did not have strong control over the Arcana Field . Plus, the ability to “command everything” was nothing more than an exaggeration .

“Even so, the Arcana Field is overpowered enough!”

Ling Jiu let out a long sigh . Based on the statements of those folks on the forum, a Level 6 Arcanist’s attack would be greatly enhanced in the field .

In contrast, the foe’s offense would be greatly diminished or even wiped out .

Take a Fire Arcanist for example, inside his Arcana Field, his Flame Arcana’s strength would greatly increase, be it the temperature of the flame or the speed of attack .

Its burning speed would just not be the same .

“The Arcana Field can pretty much be considered a massive buff, which infinitely strengthens the Arcanist’s Arcana and simultaneously weakens others!

“Let me try this out!” Ling Jiu whispered and closed his eyes to feel it .

“Gravity!

“My control of gravity is more agile now, and it’s just like moving my fingers!

“The Five Elements!

“Blink!”

After some simple attempts, Ling Jiu opened his eyes with delight . “My Arcana Field… seems to be quite strong!”
