Chapter 322: Wanted Sirona (1/2)
Three months later.
Sam made a breakthrough to the middle-stage Level-5 and also achieved a second elemental fusion. The light element.
He was very glad that he was able to achieve it and this would increase his speed a lot, but there is a problem with this. The light elemental fusion is costing more spiritual energy than the fire elemental one.
He couldn't sustain in this state for long and can at most stay for fifteen minutes continuously.
After fifteen minutes he would be completely dry.
So, this is not an extremely feasible option, but one thing for sure is that he has the advantage of speed in this state.
He is literally a flash of a light beam as he moved from one place to another, but this also gave him a lot of troubles, he could control this state at all. The fire elemental fusion can be considered as elementary school math when compared to the light elemental fusion, which is as difficult as advanced calculus.
He has serious control problems with the light elements as the light is everywhere in the day time, he could merge into the environment easily.
But he didn't give up. He immersed himself deeply, trying to master it and his ambition didn't even stop at just mastering it. He has some further ideas on how to use this light element particularly when he discovered what he can do just by manipulating the frequency.
As for the other things, he did have some minor progress in using neutral spiritual energy like a mage.
Vickers used pure spiritual energy without any elemental attribute to create beams of energy and even used it to consolidate weapons physically. This is something he hasn't seen before, and he could see many uses for this.
He did try to just condense the spiritual energy and try to manipulate it forcefully and he is actually able to change the form quite well, although it was in the size of his fist, still, it is some progress.
But the most important problem regarding this is the spiritual energy usage and the mental strain he has to undergo to make the spiritual energy particles condense and make them dense enough to be visible to the naked eye and transform into a single entity and shape he wants.
For the first try, he bled from his nose. He clearly understood the difficulty of this and as for shooting the spiritual energy as a beam, he didn't even dare to consider it for now.
He tried to do so with the spiritual energy from an energy cell. This reduced the requirement of the spiritual energy from his own body, but the mental strain increased.
Meanwhile, Philip and Jack are having a hard time as well.
Particularly, Philip. He not only has to deal with the intense training, he also has to deal with Sam's lectures, which are completely unfamiliar and complex. He doesn't know where Sam got this knowledge, but some theories made him question his very existence.
He has so many doubts about Sam's theories.
But after every doubt was clarified, he has a new world opening for him. He has always thought the metal element is just an accessory for him in close combat and simply assistance.
After he got the metal manipulation, he has a variety of additional methods he could use the metal element in close combat.
But after these three months, he has a completely new perspective, he didn't think he can see possibilities in which he can use the metal element to be his primary one. He could batter, kill, defend, and anything he wanted.
But the main requirement being two points, he has to obtain metal element fusion and also has to obtain the highest level of control he can in the metal element.
He might be lazy and slack off. But he really liked exploring these possibilities. The only thing is every time, Sam gave a lecture to him, he felt like he was dumber and dumber.
As for artisan lessons, he has wait until he mastered the precision control of the metal element.
Jack is still as hard-working as ever. Practicing all the basics every day and many times at that.
All in all, their training is a kind of smooth sailing.
But after these three months, there is some news which made Sam halt his training.
It is about the Usaine sect.
The news is that a young lady has torn the whole Usaine sect apart and there are more than five hundred deaths. She escaped and the people are still in pursuit of her.
The news was passed by the Usaine sect themselves and the lady's portrait was distributed for all the members in the thunder god temple.
