Chapter 1009 New Truth

Zhou Xu expressed doubts about whether the first emperor was really strong.

Judging from the description, when the first generation of emperor was summoned, the country was still in the tribal era.

In that era, the standard of "powerful" was completely different.

Zhou Xu is now a mantra mage at the peak of the extraordinary realm, and his vision is naturally very different from before.

At the same time, he also became more aware of how big the gap in strength is between ordinary mantra mages and transcendental mages, and the gap in strength between those who have just entered the transcendental realm and those at the peak of the transcendental realm is also huge.

Thinking back to the beginning, he worked so hard to only control four or five hundred skeleton soldiers. This was only possible because he had a five-star spiritual attribute. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do this.

In contrast, now, Zhou Xu felt that he could easily gather thousands of skeleton soldiers to fight for him as long as he snapped his fingers. Their strength was simply not on the same level.

But no matter what, as long as the truth is there, it will be fine.

Zhou Xu was really curious about what kind of mantras this "powerful" mantra mage had.

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu opened the wooden box in front of him with his own hands.

At that moment, feeling the fluctuations of the power of the mantra emanating from it, Zhou Xu was certain that it was definitely not weak.

[System reminder: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Flame Attack'. ]

After obtaining two complete mantras in a row, Zhou Xu's face unconsciously showed a hint of joy.

There is no need to say much about the highly adaptable and versatile phrase 'attack'.

Zhou Xu has obtained it several times before. After the newly acquired 'attack' mantra is integrated with the 'attack' mantra in his body, the entire mantra becomes more solid and powerful. At the same time, the power of the mantra attack related to it will also increase accordingly.

Compared to the 'attack' mantra, what really made Zhou Xu happy was the acquisition of the 'flame' mantra! After the 'lightning' mantra, the 'flame' mantra was the second elemental mantra he had obtained. I don't know if the 'flying stone' mantra counts.

Thanks to the good experience that the 'Lightning' mantra had brought him before, he now instinctively feels that the effects of the elemental mantras are quite outstanding.

Now he couldn't wait to find a place to try it out.

Zhou Xu left without delay and immediately came to the testing ground of the Ordnance Equipment Department outside the city and requisitioned it.

When it comes to mantras, Zhou Xu still shows his amazing talent. He is completely different from others who need to spend a lot of time practicing the pronunciation of mantras.

Basically, he can recite the mantra smoothly once he knows how to do it.

Of course, with more practice, he could read even faster.

【Fire attack! 】

While activating the mantra, Zhou Xu quickly raised his right hand.

At that moment, a fiery red magic circle unfolded in his palm, and a ball of flame shot out directly from his hand and hit the wooden stake five meters away.

In an instant, flames surged!

Looking at the wooden stake that was completely engulfed by flames and burned, Zhou Xu did not stop and quickly walked towards another wooden stake next to it.

Combining the experience accumulated from using 'Lightning Attack' before, Zhou Xu first conducted a test at a range of five meters.

After one strike, he could clearly feel that the basic range of 'Fire Attack' was much longer than that of 'Lightning Attack'.

The row of wooden stakes in front of him started from a distance of five meters, and each one increased by one meter.

However, Zhou Xu now relied on his own feeling and directly stepped over the six-meter and seven-meter wooden stakes and walked to the wooden stake at a distance of eight meters.

【Fire attack! 】

After one strike, the attack was still powerful, and Zhou Xu increased the range again.

In this simple and rough quick test process, Zhou Xu was basically able to determine that, considering the range alone, and assuming stable target hits, the maximum range of the "flame attack" was twelve meters.

Then, looking at the wooden stakes that he had set on fire, Zhou Xu, without saying a word, immediately activated the second mantra he had obtained.

【Pray for rain! 】

To be honest, he was quite curious about the mantra of "praying for rain". If it was as he expected, then this trick could directly change the celestial phenomena.

Almost at the same time as this mantra was used, Zhou Xu suddenly felt the power of the mantra in his body being quickly drawn out.

At the same time, the sky, which was originally sunny, was covered by dark clouds. Then, a drizzle of rain fell and quickly extinguished the burning wooden stakes.

Zhou Xu, who was observing during the period, also discovered that the area covered by the dark clouds was at most four or five hundred meters. Beyond this distance, the sun was still shining brightly outside.

Judging from this situation, his "praying for rain" is somewhat shabby.

But the consumption is not shabby at all.

Zhou Xu discovered that this move actually caused continuous consumption. The rain was pouring down from the sky, and the power of mantra in his body was also flowing away.

In the blink of an eye, one third of the mantra power in his body was consumed, and Zhou Xu was so scared that he quickly released the mantra.

Sure enough, this mantra that can directly change the celestial phenomena cannot be used casually.

At this moment, Zhou Xu began to believe that the first emperor might indeed be quite capable.

Considering the consumption of 'Pray for Rain', if an ordinary mantra mage performs it, it can probably only be used to water the flowers in the garden. Even for him, a mantra mage at the peak of the extraordinary realm, it is not enough to perform it. To go any further, he can only wait until he enters the saint realm.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party has not used the mantra since obtaining it.

Without the continuous infusion of mantra power, the rain soon stopped and the clouds in the area dissipated.

Exhaling a long breath, Zhou Xu quickly walked to the wooden stakes and observed them one by one.

Because he had acted quickly when launching the 'fire attack', the duration that the wooden stakes were burned by the flames varied slightly, but the difference was not huge.

Zhou Xu observed them one by one, and finally he was basically sure that the areas of these wooden stakes that were burned by flames had charred outer layers.

As for the subtle difference in the degree of carbonization, Zhou Xu felt that there was no need to worry too much about it.

If we are to dwell on this point, then each wooden stake must be burned for the same amount of time to be valuable, otherwise it would be meaningless.

At this stage, Zhou Xu can basically draw a conclusion, that is, the intensity of the "fire attack", within the effective range, has little to do with the distance.

The distance affects the attack area.

The form of 'flame attack' is a bit like a flamethrower, of course, it only sprays once.

Under this premise, the wooden stake at a distance of five meters was directly submerged in his "fire attack", and the entire wooden stake was burned.

As for the wooden stake at the twelve-meter position, only the front area was burned.

In terms of attack strength alone, it is completely inferior to "Lightning Attack".

Compared to 'Lightning Attack', 'Fire Attack' lacks the explosive power to kill with one strike.

However, from another perspective, "Flame Attack" has the ability to continuously burn the target to a certain extent, which may be more useful in some special situations.

It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
