Chapter 202: Learning more about Cultivation part 1 (1/2)
Hearing Ash's explanation, Leo finally thought of something.
Magic Integration can only be done 9 times in the entire Star level, so all of the Magic Integration he would have is very, very very useful, and it's really important to not waste any if he doesn't want to become the same as how Chief Lago had done a Magic Integration to a Green Terrain spell, an almost useless Support Magic spell.
His defense was indeed so lacking, and he also can't always rely on Earth Elemental, since it can still be destroyed. So, to improve his defense capability, he either needed to learn some movement technique, Magic spells related to maneuvering, or to learn Defensive Magic spells, which in the end he would still eventually realized the need to Magic Integration the Magic spell to himself because casting a Magic spell would, in most cases due to its chanting, become a major flaw in him not to successfully defend himself.
However, what if he improves the Earth Elemental to the point that it can hardly be destroyed by anyone? Or maybe not anyone, but just people who are two or three levels above him?
Surely, in such a case, he would be able to focus more on Assault Magic spells rather than Defensive Magic spells, right?
And if he can indeed focus on that, his opponent would definitely have a hard time attacking him. No, it's not just attacking, but almost in every aspect, because a good defense is also a good offense.
”You're definitely right!” Leo nodded his head.
Without any hesitation, Leo threw the Fire Lotus to the pile of Magical resources in the cart at the back of his horse before finally closing his eyes to begin absorbing the Earth Crystal.
Closing his eyes, Leo, in a spirit form, immediately saw the already familiar scene in front of him. A swirling brown-colored Mana was dancing in front of him.
Unlike the Pure Mana found in Mana stones, the Earth Element Mana in front of him wasn't something similar to an air, but instead solid base, or rather calling it sand is more of an appropriate way to call it.
After only focusing on cultivating these past few days, he discovered that each different Element Mana has its own uniqueness, with each having its different features.
He can't stay long in both the Magical resources with Fire Element Mana and the Water Element Mana, as the both of them would eventually burn him or would drown his spirit, hence causing him to lose a bit of his cultivation rather than increase it.
He needs to be cautious and careful in Magical resources with Wind Element Mana since the wind alone can shred his spirit to pieces, hence also causing him to lose a bit of his cultivation rather than increase it.
The Magical resources with Nature Element Mana would need him to do a lot of work due to the fact that consuming the Nature Element was almost the same as eating actual food.
Lastly, the Magical resources with Earth Elemental Mana, the safest amongst all of them. He just simply needs to gather the sand and form it into something seemingly like a rock and then absorb the rock in the same way as to how he usually absorbs a Mana stone. Really simple, the only hard part is gathering the Earth Elemental Mana, since gathering small pieces of sand using his hand in a spirit form is not an easy thing to do, not to mention it's flying sand.
Fortunately, the Earth Element Mana is a lot bigger compared to normal sands, so it is easy to spot them. Only gathering them would be hard, as it requires him to scoop them batch by batch.
Although he can actually absorb pieces by pieces of Earth's Element Mana, it would be really stupid of him if he indeed does so. Imagine just how many pieces of Earth Elemental Mana was in one Magical resource. Obviously, it would be too many to count. So, if he indeed decides to absorb them one by one, it would take him weeks or months to successfully finish one Magical resource.
Therefore, gathering them together before absorbing them is the best choice.
