352 Wheat and Rice (2/2)

Soon enough, this node was full.

The white ball became bright green. Then, it exploded like a water balloon.

Bright green magic power spurted out like mist, before it slowly vanished in the air.

At this point, all the magic apprentices and Andonara had gotten off. They were all surprised to see the green magic power.

”A natural spell?”

”It's not a spell. I think it's the magic power of the elves.” Andonara asked Roland in surprise, ”Do you have an elven bloodline?”

”How's that possible? I'm a human being.”

Roland slowly panted. After four hours of consecutive tests and the great investment of magic power just now, he had run out of mana.

As a result, he was weak and pale.

But now that he was making progress, he didn't want to rest yet.

He took out the Mind-Calming Necklace and put on the whole set of mana regeneration equipment.

Surrounded by blue light, he found that his mana had recovered rapidly.

Then, he sat down and rested.

About ten minutes later, when his mana bar was full, he tried compressing the magic node again.

The effect this time was even more unbelievable. The irregular ball of light exploded after he ran out of magic power.

There was no heat or deafening noise, but the blast blew Roland several meters away.

The green magic power waved crazily like the tentacles of an octopus. Andonara and the magic apprentices, frightened, hurried to retreat.

However, the green tentacles dimmed quickly before they disappeared into the air after no more than six seconds.

”Did you succeed?” Andonara stepped forward and asked, ”Can you use elven spells now?”

”I failed.” Roland shook his head and said, ”I used up all my magic power but only created a wind that carried no damage at all. If I had used a human spell, this place would've been razed to the ground just now.”

Andonara was not a Mage, so she did not understand what Roland meant.

The magic apprentices, however, realized that Roland was saying that the transformation of magic power didn't go well.

There were huge losses when elemental magic power was transformed to natural magic power.

But Roland did learn something.

He had remembered the frequency and features of natural magic power, and he had vaguely sensed the difference between elemental magic power and natural magic power.

If he must compare them, they were like rice and wheat.

Though they were both food, rich and wheat tasted completely different from each other.

If a southerner who grew up with rice had noodles made of wheat for the first time, they might not enjoy it at all, and the case was the same when a northern who grew up with noodles had rice for the first time.

That was exactly the situation for Roland. As a human being, he could only transform the natural mental power of the elves at a very low efficiency.

The structures of mental power of the two races seemed greatly different.

”We have a problem.” Roland scratched his head, upset.
