[....]
The lack of response from the souls in the System Space hinted that Lee Shen was right. The next moment, his thoughts of despair were overcome by an urge to fight and live.
'D, explain my race.'
[Before you assimilated with the Lightning Law fragment, your body had gone through reconstruction and voluntary remodelling. This made your racial features unidentifiable, unique and thus nameless.
After the integration, the Lightning element simply gave the elemental specifics about your body, while your race is still unidentified. You can name it if you are not thinking about further reconfiguration.]
'So that's how it is.
Tell me, is the constitution of a person limited to only one element?'
D went silent and did not answer right away. He could clearly see and hear his thoughts from the System Space.
[Commonly, that is the case. But there have been people reported to have a hybrid constitution of two elements. Those elements will be close to each other and complement each other.
When I was alive, I had met a woman with Ice and Water constitution. She was able to use Ice as defence and water as an offence.
And the ExistenceTransformation itself was a feast to the eyes.]
Lee Shen had heard a new term.
'Existence Transformation?'
[It is the process through which a person becomes one with his/her constitution element soul. In this process, the body metamorphoses to bring forth and display the power and features of the soul.
Your soul would become one with the element and the boost in the attributes are simply unfathomable. The element will manifest around you and submit itself.
But this feat requires an enormous amount of Qi or Mana. Although I have not heard of an adventurer who could pull off this trick, I assume that they should be able to do with a compatibly high mastery level.]
'So I can acquire the constitution of every element.'
[It is not easy as said. Your Lightning constitution is compatible with Water, Metal, Poison and Fire. But it opposes Stone, Dark, Death, Time, Space and Ice. Thus you will either perish or will face an unsurpassable barricade in the process.
But you might be able to pull it off if you could cause a transition in the acquiring of the elemental constitution.]
'Slowly turning the tides in favour, right?'
[Precisely.]
Lee stood up from the bed, and his arms were crossed in front of his chest. He was contemplating the order of inter-elemental harmony.
'Scan the entire planet for any Law fragment signatures. Keep a tab on the position of Tubians. Trace the approximate location of Amortal signatures. Chart out the tectonic plate movements.
How are my three wyverns doing?'
[They are doing just fine. you should see the processes. It is simply awe-inspiring.]
'I noticed that Fero is exhibiting Dark element affinity. Take care of him and the Perrafin. D, use Essence to construct Metamorphosis Chambers of necessary.'
There was no verbal answer, but Lee was sure that they have started to work on his instructions. To stay idle inside the System Space was suffocating, and D and Hudson gladly carried out their respective tasks.
Everything about Tubians, Amortals and the continents were on D's shoulders, while Hudson took the responsibilities of the beasts and the Law fragments.
A glance to the screen, and it vanished. Lee walked to the door and stepped out of his room. As he took a few steps to the academic building,
------
Minutes became hours, and hours became days. Before Lee Shen knew, 9 days have passed in a blink of an eye.
Academically, his teachings bore fruit. The number of disciples he had increased day by day, and was now fourty-seven. The initial twelve disciples successfully regained their Mana sensing ability, and they can create unstable elemental Mana constructs at will.
As the students continued their journey in Mana sensing, many revealed that their physical attributes are slightly increasing, or they could feel so. A monthly physical exercise proved their claims to be true, and Lee attributed this achievement to the voluntary sensing of Mana.
The students no longer used spells to create their offence and defence, but used Mana to materialise their imagination into the reality. It was painful and exhausting, that many fell unconscious at the first try even after one or two days. After a week of thorough practice, Lee could tell that their stamina has risen without using the View.
The Perrafin and Fero acted as sparring partners for students as Hudson assured Lee that beasts like Split-jaw Hyena does not need a Metamosphosis Chamber to awaken their elemental constitution. These sessions beneficial for both sides, as the students could experience a real battle with a beast while Fero could boost his constitution awakening through rigorous training.
The restaints on the beasts were slowly lifted and the duo began to use about 60% of their strength in the matches within a week. Both the Perrafin and Fero were told to do so, so that the students would have a few rounds of wounds so as to make them familiarise pain.
The rate at which the students progressed, surprised Erikko and the department heads. The Physical Augmentation department students began to tell the principal about the advantages of Lee's training, and his heart jumped with joy. He knew that he had rested the future of the academy in the right hands.
Seeing the rate of progression, the mastermind behind this change was incredibly happy. A sense of satisfaction could be sensed from his face whenever he took effort to train and mould the students. What made him more happy was the Erikko's decision to let the Field Experience department head to access the further floors of library.
Finding satisfaction in his students, Lee thought of an idea which could completely change the inverted mentality of the academy. When he put forward the concept, Erikko found it highly beneficial to the students. The principal promised him to share this idea in the next Head of Departments' meeting.
On the 9th day of continuous training, Lee declared that the next day would not have any classes, so as to give the students a short break among the tedious sessions. His actual intention was to free himself from the bust schedule, as tomorrow marked 10th day of something.
