Chapter 295 - 146 Disciple in Name_2
"It’s not to say that the four basic elemental attributes are not important. In fact, their interplay is much more dynamic. Take combination magic as an example, it becomes significantly easier when it is employed using the fundamental elements. Although I haven’t delved deep into this, it is evident that elemental compatibility is much more readily apparent within the basic elements. Even between water and fire, transformation from one to the other is possible. While fire and water elements are conflicting in nature, a sufficiently intense fire can convert water into its fuel. However, such exchange between light and darkness is absolutely impossible. Thus, ’Water-Fire Common Origin Magic’ can still be applied. But have you ever heard of combination magic between light and darkness?"
"Also, Dangdang! You’ve practiced the ’Illusionary Heart Diversion Technique’, haven’t you?" Wu Di asked Long Dangdang.
Long Dangdang nodded, saying, "Yes, I have completed the first rank of cultivation for it."
Wu Di said: "This Cultivation Technique is important for you, you must strive to practice it well. Your unique speciality of assigning specific elements to individual clones is unparalleled, and extremely compatible with ’Illusionary Heart Diversion’. Once you cultivate this technique to a level equivalent to the number of your clones, your potential for combination magic will outshine that of little Zisang Liuying."
"Yes!" Long Dangdang replied. Ever since he completed the first stage of the Illusionary Heart Diversion Technique, he had lost focus and spent less time on it, directing more attention towards improving his spiritual power with his brother and cousin. But now, listening to Wu Di, it seemed that the Illusionary Heart Diversion Technique would hold a more significant impact on the elevation of his abilities.
Wu Di said: "Although my research on combination magic isn’t extensive, I clearly understand its fundamentals. You must remember, having more elemental attributes combined does not always mean better results. It’s about matching the best ingredients. Like the two spells you used today, they were both dual-element combination magic. I believe many students from Spirit Furnace Academy are able to perform dual-element combination. But they couldn’t apply it as ingeniously as you. Your method of creating a third combination magic effect on your opponents was truly fitting. You need to explore the elements continuously, especially the changes they undergo during combination. Also, for combination magic, it doesn’t need equal levels of elemental power to combine. You should control it well and provide whatever amount is needed, and the changes will follow as required. This is what brings out the versatile effects of combination magic. Understand?"
Long Dangdang’s eyes were exceptionally bright, nodding continually. Wu Di’s every word hit the mark, explaining the essence of magic from a high-level perspective, bringing him great benefits. Zisang Liuying, standing at the side, also agreed continuously.
As if Wu Di intentionally wanted to impart some knowledge, he didn’t avoid Zitang Liuying and further elaborated on some principles of elemental control, giving them some general pointers. After this tutoring session, he told Long Dangdang to contact him once he awakened the darkness element. Wu Di was undoubtedly the best in darkness element manipulation. Wu Di also told him, that there are commonalities among all elements, if he could understand the darkness element thoroughly, it would greatly benefit his control over other elements.
Before parting, Wu Di reminded him again to focus more on the Illusionary Heart Diversion Technique, to at least align the skill with his clone count, otherwise this would be a waste of his talent. This will also be the best approach to boost his abilities.
