Tiger Soul Sub-base.

After breakfast, Feng Qi and Lin Ran came to the No. 3 Magic Laboratory as usual.

Following Lin Ran to the magic arrangement and combination instrument, he began to observe Lin Ran's operation. After

this period of contact, he has a better understanding of magic research.

He also understands how terrifying Lin Ran's talent in this area is. There are

many known spiritual attributes now.

In addition to the earliest discovered spiritual attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there are also wind, thunder, darkness, light, nature, blood... There are more than 200 spiritual attributes that have been discovered.

Among them, there are more than 20 spiritual attributes that are still under study and have not been named.

As for the undiscovered spiritual attributes, it is unknown how many there are.

The numerous spiritual attributes are also an important reason for the existence of many races in the domain world, and each ethnic group has its own unique abilities and racial talents.

For example, the domain creatures living in the water attribute spiritual world.

They have been in contact with water attribute spiritual energy for many years, and under the nourishment of water attribute spiritual energy, they gradually mastered the ability to control water elements.

With the inheritance, this ability has been imprinted in the blood.

Newborns are born with the talent of controlling water elements.

Compared with the domain tribe, the development of human beings is really too late.

Aura has only appeared in the human world for more than 500 years. The physical fitness of human beings is indeed stronger from generation to generation under the nourishment of aura.

But compared with the domain tribe that has accumulated a long period of time, this growth rate still cannot make up for the gap.

The importance of magic and practice is also reflected at this time.

If the study of practice is an in-depth development of the structure and mystery of the human body.

Then the magic is the in-depth development of the properties of the aura of heaven and earth.

There is no difference between the study of practice and magic.

But for the current stage of human civilization, it is obviously more important to practice the practice that can accelerate the physical fitness of human beings.

In terms of research difficulty, the study of magic is not simpler than the study of practice.

The core of the study of magic is to arrange and combine different aura properties, and then produce corresponding effects.

This process is very complicated.

To create a magic, the prerequisite is that the researcher of the magic has a strong perception of the aura properties.

This kind of perception has a professional term "aura affinity" in the field of magic research.

If a magic researcher does not have aura affinity, it is like color blindness among humans, and it is difficult to distinguish the aura attributes, not to mention the subsequent arrangement and combination.

Only with a strong aura affinity can a magic researcher combine the magic he wants from the complicated aura attribute classification.

This threshold has blocked a large number of talents who want to participate in magic research.

One of Lin Ran's terrifying talents in magic research is that he has a nearly perfect element affinity.

Without the assistance of any instrument, he can clearly distinguish every element floating in the air.

Let's use vision as an example.

If a magic researcher without aura affinity can be classified as color blind or color weak, then someone like Lin Ran who has super aura affinity can be compared to a super-visual person.

In creative research, talent always comes first.

Hard work can certainly narrow the distance with talent, but it is only a narrowing, and the gap in the middle cannot be made up by hard work.

Some people have solid theories, but if they can't pass the test of aura affinity, they can't continue to delve deeper into the path of magic research.

Lin Ran is born with a unique advantage in magic research.

But this is only one of Lin Ran's talents in magic research.

The second difficulty in magic research is how to arrange and combine aura.

This step is the core key to creating a magic.

The arrangement and combination of different elemental attributes can produce many wonderful characteristics.

For example, the attribute arrangement and combination of a very common "water ball technique" does not only require water-attributed aura, but also requires other auras to assist in release.

This is somewhat similar to the description of the mutual generation of the five elements in ancient books.

The power can be greatly improved by the fusion of water-attributed aura and other attributes of aura.

However, compared with the saying that the five elements are mutually generated and restrained, the mutual generation and restraint combinations and arrangements in the actual magic research are more numerous, and can even be described as endless.

In this research, every magic researcher is a pioneer.

The knowledge accumulated by the predecessors is very limited, and we can only use our keen insight and creativity to try various combinations and arrangements.

Lin Ran also has an extremely outstanding talent in this regard.

Just like an architect.

Lin Ran relies on his super affinity for spiritual energy, and he clearly perceives the detailed effects of each spiritual energy attribute.

Coupled with his creativity, just like building a house, he mixes various elemental attributes into one, forming a magic he wants.

This talent is related to creativity and insight.

The power and effect of the created magic depends entirely on the ability and talent of the researcher who created the magic.

The third threshold for magic researchers is the magic trajectory.

Consciousness is a needle, interspersed with all methods.

These eight words are the core content of "magic trajectory".

In the process of releasing magic, consciousness is like a needle constantly wandering and interspersing the spiritual energy particles in the air, and connecting all the required spiritual energy together according to the arrangement and combination.

The arrangement and combination of the magic at the second level only completes the overall structure of the magic.

The perfection of the magic trajectory is for the magic to be created and applied in practice.

Many magics will be stuck at the third level after passing the second level in the creation stage.

Especially those spells with complex permutations and combinations, which take a long time to release and cannot be used in actual combat.

Therefore, the trajectory of the spell is also very important for a spell.

This is related to the casting fluency and efficiency of the spell.

For the same spell, the casting speed of two different spell trajectories can even differ by several times.

It's like all roads lead to Rome.

But one is a straight line, and the other is a detour, so the difference in arrival time will definitely be very obvious.

For frontline soldiers, the efficiency of casting spells is a guarantee of their own safety.

Because of the problems with the trajectory of the spell, humans have eliminated at least tens of thousands of spells that have been studied in the study of spells.

Feng Qi has heard Lin Ran talk about it.

The most outrageous spell that was eliminated that year was a spell called "I Am the Only One".

The researcher who developed this spell at that time spent half his life to study this spell from the perspective of the power of the spell.

The power of this spell was indeed unique in the test at that time.

It even became a new record in the "Magic Lethality Ranking" with a value more than ten times higher.

But such a magic was eventually ruthlessly eliminated and was only collected in the cultivation museums of major cities.

This magic is very perfect in terms of permutations and combinations, and there are no problems such as conflicts in permutations and combinations.

The only problem is the trajectory of the magic.

Because it took about 18 hours to outline this "I Am the Only One" magic.

In the words of the evaluator at the time.

This magic is simply shit in the pit, smelly and long, and meaningless.

It is normal for large-scale magic to take a long time to outline, but this time also needs a degree. The front-line fighters generally do not have 18 hours in small-scale battles in the field.

By the time the magic is outlined, the battle must have been over.

More importantly,

there must be no mistakes in the process of outlining the magic trajectory, otherwise the magic trajectory will collapse and fail completely.

For example, if it takes 17 hours to outline, but the last step is wrong, you have to outline it again for 18 hours to release this magic.

This kind of mistake is likely to bring about a devastating disaster.

Therefore, this powerful spell has no practical significance. It

is completely reasonable that it was eliminated.

All other spells that were eliminated were complicated in arrangement and combination, and could not form a simple and efficient spell trajectory.

Lin Ran's talent in this aspect is also very good.

The spells he created are generally simple and effective in arrangement and combination.

But if we say that Lin Ran's greatest contribution to the field of spell research at this stage is undoubtedly the creation of a new spell release school "Seal Stream"

. This school can significantly improve the release efficiency when releasing medium and small spells.

Seal Stream is like an amplifier for outlining spells.

The outline process of spells is completed in a simpler and more effective way.

Lin Ran's current status in the spell research circle can be called the founder of a school.

From the three thresholds of creating spells to the final spell amplifier, there are heights and potentials that have never been achieved by predecessors.

This is also the reason why Lin Ran will become one of the most influential people in this era.

During the days at the Hupo Branch Base, Feng Qi had a clearer understanding of spell research.

He also saw Lin Ran's talent and potential in this area.

Looking at Lin Ran who was still busy in the magic element simulation instrument, he had reason to believe that if Lin Ran was given the space to play freely, his potential would be further improved.

Every era will have several geniuses who are the focus of everyone's attention and leave a strong and colorful mark in the long river of history.

In this era, Lin Ran is among them.

The only regret is that Lin Ran's growth environment is destined to prevent his talent from being fully utilized.

First, he was used by the Night Shadow Clan, and then he was taken over by the Lord of the Mist.

From a historical perspective, Lin Ran's life is undoubtedly tragic.

There are only two endings for his life.

1. Lao Wang did not join the Scarlet Research Institute.

After the Lord of the Mist took over the body of Lao Wang, Lin Ran, who had outstanding achievements in the field of magic research, would inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of the Lord of the Mist, and he would definitely find an opportunity to harm him and cut off his potential.

2. Lao Wang joined the Scarlet Research Institute after knowing the truth.

Lin Ran in this timeline will become the first target of the Lord of the Mist. In the end, he will become a great man, but he will be further away from his firm ideals and will become a tool to be used.

Even if the anti-parasitic is successful 1,500 years later, human civilization will have long been extinct by then.

For Lin Ran, living has no meaning.

Looking at Lin Ran, who is serious and still devoted to the study of magic, Feng Qi sighed in his heart.

But at least Lin Ran always remains optimistic in the face of any challenge.

In this sacrifice line, Lin Ran already knows that he will eventually be taken over by the Lord of the Mist.

But he did not escape, and chose to face it with a smile.

It did not affect his life, and he was still busy with the study of magic every day.

Lin Ran's mentality reminded him of Wei Wei.

Wei Wei once said that even if I know the future ending, I will live my own life.

Lin Ran now obviously has the same mentality.

At this moment, Lin Ran turned off the test instrument, pushed open the glass door and walked out.

Then he smiled and looked at him and said,

"Brother Qi, it's done. Help me check the effect of the spell."

Feng Qi heard it and nodded immediately.

...

In the following days, Feng Qi and Lin Ran were busy with the study of magic every day.

These studies were not meaningless in his opinion.

When the other him read the memory, what he was learning now would become the knowledge reserve of the other him.

Maybe it would be useful in the future.

On the side of the Lord of Mist.

Since the last call with the Lord of Mist, he had not contacted the Lord of Mist for a long time.

But he knew that the Lord of Mist had already started to infiltrate the Hupo Research Institute. The Lord

of Mist's plan was to use the identity of the current Night Shadow tribe to provoke internal conflicts in this tribe, and then intensify the conflicts to completely divide the Night Shadow tribe.

Now the Night Shadow tribe has already emerged due to the problem of internal resource allocation.

All that is missing is a flame to ignite the conflict.

At that time, the Night Shadow tribe will inevitably be divided into factions to fight openly and secretly, and the comprehensive strength of the Night Shadow tribe will decline rapidly under internal consumption.

This will create an opportunity for the Lord of Mist to seize power.

He has never doubted the ability of the Lord of Mist.

If he did not have the ability to travel through timelines to check intelligence, he would never be the opponent of the Lord of Mist.

If he had not died young in the normal timeline, he might have been one of the sacrifices of the Lord of Mist.

After all, before he had the ability to travel through time and the narration, his life trajectory would definitely be the path of a researcher of martial arts.

When "Blood and Flesh Sacrifice" is released, he will definitely try to practice and learn.

At that time, he will become a small leek under the sickle of the Lord of Mist.

From the perspective of the intelligence investigated at this stage, the Lord of Mist is definitely the biggest enemy of human civilization, and its lethality is far more terrifying than that of Xiao Hei.

The terrifying thing about Xiao Hei is its unsolvable combat power.

Even the Lord of Mist is not good enough in front of Xiao Hei, and is not Xiao Hei's opponent at all.

But the lethality caused by Xiao Hei to human civilization is limited after all. At least from a historical perspective, the only vicious incident related to Xiao Hei is the destruction of Future City.

Whether the destruction of Future City is related to Xiao Hei is still unknown.

In contrast, the Lord of Mist personally destroyed the entire human civilization and sounded the death knell for the end of human civilization.

In these years of getting along, he has seen the ruthless and cruel side of the Lord of Mist.

The Lord of Mist only has the word "interest" in his eyes when dealing with anything.

For the sake of interests, he can do whatever it takes.

But there is one thing he did not deny, that the Lord of Mist really regarded him as his brother.

He also clearly remembered that in the heavy snow in the Winter Zone that year, the Lord of Mist once said to him with a smile:

"I no longer have any relatives in this world, but from now on, you are my only relative."

It is no joke for the Lord of Mist to have a place for him by his side after climbing to the top.

So Feng Qi always feels a little guilty about the Lord of Mist.

In terms of justice, he does not allow the Lord of Mist to exist.

From a personal point of view, the Lord of Mist is absolutely worthy of the word "brother".

But some choices are actually not available at all.

He has made up his mind to kill the Lord of Mist, and he will only wait for the day when the time is right.

But in this timeline, he will continue to accompany the Lord of Mist, completely fall into darkness, and find light.
