Second Specialization

Chen Tao and Cao Rui continued their heated discussion, though Cao Rui was the one doing most of the talking.

This guy talks about these things like he's on a stimulant, he's incredibly energetic! Towards the end, the two of them simply said goodbye to Li Yao and went out to prepare for the relevant matters.

Extremely strong initiative!

Watching the two of them leave, Li Yao felt more and more that they had all grown up... Fortunately, the Dorm Four were still together, but everyone's circumstances had undergone earth-shattering changes.

It was at this time that Li Yao gained a more profound and nuanced understanding of the maxim of the Transmutation Faction: "Of all things in the world, only change is constant."

In a daze, Li Yao entered a strange state.

A tremendous sense of detachment washed over his body, his spirit and even his will were instantly pulled away, yet he could still feel his own existence, and even perceive the most subtle changes within his body... As he breathed, his lungs expanded, oxygen was delivered into his bloodstream through his alveoli, passed through his heart, and flowed throughout his body.

This is a very mysterious experience.

The insights gained from this experience flowed into Li Yao's body like a massive waterfall of information.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yao heard a "click" sound of a lock being opened in his illusory state, as if something had been unlocked, or as if something had shattered, and the contents of that thing spread to every corner of his body and soul.

Then he woke up from that illusory feeling.

The authentic, realistic tactile sensation has returned.

Li Yao returned to the fireplace in the tavern and sat down. After sensing for a while, he found that his spirituality, spirit, will, and even the magic power surging in the Magic Spirit Pool engraved on his soul had become much more lively and agile. His spirit, thoughts, and magic power were all operating more smoothly.

Not only that,

Li Yao also sensed a special aura surging within the spirit pool.

After some experimentation, he discovered that this aura could effectively amplify the effects of Transmutation Faction Transmutation Faction spells! Combined with all the previous phenomena, Li Yao was certain that he had completely absorbed the Transmutation Faction's magic specialization imprint.

Now he can perform the Second Specialization of branding.

The specializations are not unrelated; they are like external interfaces to the Magic Spirit Pool, both affecting the soul. How could they be independent of each other?

After the specialization of the Transmutation Faction is fully digested, it will also have a certain amplifying effect on subsequent specializations.

for example:

The essence of the Transmutation Faction is change, so it has a unique advantage in the scale and scope of its subtle manipulation of magic and mental power.

This level of micro-management precision will also enhance the spell effects of other factions.

Similarly, it can also be applied to subsequent Specialized Magic Rune.

Therefore, there are certain rules to follow when it comes to the combination and even the order of the branding patterns.

Li Yao already had some ideas about imprinting a Specialized Magic Rune.

He plans to brand the Specialized Magic Rune of the Blast Energy School.

The subtle manipulation amplification of the Transmutation Faction, applied to the Energy Shaping School, allows the originally aggressive and brutal Energy Shaping School to play with more variety.

for example:

How about learning about the Five Fireball Spell? Li Yao also needs to slightly boost his combat power.

After acquiring the two core abilities, "Transmutation Faction's Super-Precision Manipulation of Magic" and "Energization School's Super-Effective Energy Control Manipulation," he prepared to imprint his third specialization rune— the Necromancy School's Specialized Magic Rune! This would grant him a bonus in "Spiritual Energy Nature Conversion Fusion."

As for the fourth one...

Let's see how fate works.

The power of the Spell Faction cannot be denied.

So if a fourth mark can be made, even if Li Yao himself is not very good at the Spell Faction, he should still get it!

Get ready, get ready

I should be able to get the second Specialized Magic Rune set up in the next two days! As for the materials and ritual-related stuff, my best friend has already gotten them all for me.

He was just about to take out his phone to show off to his best friends when he saw messages from Selma and the others...

Yes, after the Romania incident, Li Yao was the first to return to China.

As expected, Li Yao was not ambushed on his way back, and the American Federation government has been very obedient, even to this day.

During this period, the American Federation. Department of Homeland Defense and Counterattack Security began to frequently engage in friendly diplomatic activities with other countries and encountered high-pressure threats against many regions or countries.

This terrified the organizations in those regions! What did we do wrong?

The speed of the shift in the American Faction caught everyone off guard.

Because Li Yao was close to the Wallfacers, he obtained some inside information—he heard that a transformation was taking place within the American Federation government, and even the leadership was being handed over.

I just don't know how long this handover process will take.

It's been three months already...

It seems that it hasn't been publicly announced yet.

certainly,

That's understandable.

It is not easy for a globally influential organization to withdraw unscathed. Even if it is necessary to hand over leadership, the two sides will have to negotiate on many confidential matters beyond leadership.

The new leadership needs to ensure the stability of their leadership position.

The old leadership, on the other hand, needs to ensure its own interests and security after stepping down.

Therefore, it is entirely understandable that they would wrestle for three months. In fact, even forces like the Wallfacers would love for them to keep wrestling, to wrestle until the end of time.

Only when they are busy fighting amongst themselves will they refrain from interfering in other people's affairs, thus benefiting the development and growth of other families.

Pulling himself back from his wandering thoughts, Li Yao looked at the information about Selma and the others.

Selma: "I've almost finished dealing with things in Europe, Xisen and the others said they want to come back to China with me... What do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao sent a message to Ginawell: "Gina, Xisen and the others are going back to China with Selma. I'm thinking of sending them to you so they can be under your control."

Ginawell: "Sure, but we've recently decided to move our headquarters to China as well. What do you think, President?"

Li Yao: "..."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Didn't you say before that your headquarters was going to be set up in Australia? I heard that you've already bought the headquarters building."

Ginawell said lightly, "Then let's buy another one. I've heard that Modu and Hangcheng are both pretty good, but since you're in Nanjing, let's do it in Nanjing."

Li Yao sneered, "Do you have some misunderstanding about housing prices in our country?"

"Another building!" Ginawell. "But we're rich! Our society made it into the top 30 of the Esper World Wealth Ranking this year! One building is nothing!"

Li Yao: "..."

Why do all my subordinates seem to be richer than me? Li Yao was starting to question his existence...

Seeing that Li Yao didn't say anything, Ginawell said cheerfully, "Then it's decided! You're so kind, President!"

He hung up right after saying that!

Li Yao stared blankly at his phone, wondering if his position as president was just a hoax.

never mind,

None of that matters.

He scrolled through his friends list and found Lin Xiaowei, then messaged her. "I can start preparing to imprint my second Specialized Magic Rune. Any suggestions?"

Lin Xiaowei quickly replied, "Don't I know you? You're just here to show off!"

There was a gap of almost half a year between her first and second Specialized Magic Rune! So this grandson is just showing off his talent! Li Yao couldn't help but pick up the thermos cup next to him and reveal a kind smile, "No one knows a father better than his son."

Lin Xiaowei: "???"

Is this how idioms are pronounced? She rolled her eyes and replied, "You must have got the word order wrong!"

Li Yao: "It doesn't matter. Studying the order of Chinese characters will not affect the reading of the text."

Lin Xiaowei: "..."
