Chapter 395: Three-Layer Dream, Locked Location, Changes, Alchemy Fortress!
Dream.
On both sides stood laboratories steeped in an ancient aura, while before him was Metatron, the first Wizard.
Thinking that this might be a figure of the fourth ring—no, at least the fifth or sixth ring and above—Ian felt even his breathing tighten.
"Teacher, what exactly are we going to do?"
Ian asked.
"Didn't I tell you already? Kaha." Metatron turned to look at him. "I want to create a new method, a path for the third ring and even the fourth ring, because the current path still has far too many flaws. It is too rigid."
"And at the core of the world, countless powers have emerged. Yet among them, earth, water, wind, and fire—the four elements—are undoubtedly the most resplendent four forces. The power of the source veins flows among them."
"I want to find a breakthrough through the four elements. What we are conducting now is the first common-sense experiment: allowing the four elements to transform freely. I call it Elemental Transmutation."
Transformation?
Ian froze.
Wasn't that the power of the Four Symbols? Couldn't the power of the Four Symbols transform things?
But he did not speak rashly. Improper words might cause problems, or even get him kicked out of the dream instantly. Ian had experienced that several times before; it was not a pleasant experience.
But as he continued listening,
he quickly realized something was wrong.
This Elemental Transmutation
seemed...
"By extracting the shared characteristics of the elements, establishing a temporary 'intermediate state' between them, then inserting the corresponding traits and carrying out elemental transformation."
Ian listened blankly to Metatron's train of thought.
It was completely different.
The power of the Four Symbols was essentially just a mixture of the four elements, forming a stronger force.
