We're Different

This skill isn't part of the mage system; rather, it's a sword technique that Li Yao learned from Old Man Lu, belonging to the transcendent side of Earth.

—Spring Rain! The Spring Rain Swordplay takes its meaning from "entering the night with the wind, silently nourishing all things." It uses spiritual illusion power to infuse the sword and is a first-class demonic sword technique. When this sword technique is cultivated to a high level, it can seize the Sword Heart and plant demonic seeds in one's mind.

At the highest level, even a single glance can transmit sword energy through mental intent, drawing Spirit Energy to gradually grow stronger!

It was extremely sinister! However, this magic changed drastically in Li Yao's hands.

Because a mage's soul contains Magic Spirit Pool, and with the existence of spells from the Enchantment School and Illusion schools, the so-called "Sword Heart -capturing" technique of this swordsmanship becomes useless.

On the contrary, the characteristic of "refining swords into silk" was greatly developed by Li Yao!

Because that is itself a method of extracting spiritual energy to refine sword energy.

Li Yao has now completed his specialization in the imprinting of the Energy Shaping School.

I wonder if this skill, which was modified based on the Magic Spirit Pool, has changed in any way.

Just do it!

Boss Li's action speed is now incredibly high, so he recalled the details of the Spring Rain Swordplay and then circulated his spirit and the Magic Spirit Pool within his body... After a brief silence, Li Yao's eyes suddenly changed! "Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss..."

Wisps of sword energy suddenly burst forth from his body, emitting a faint, sharp sound like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

Some of those sword energies were crimson red.

Some are a deep blue.

And it's also a deep blue that's almost white!

Like a tangled mess of yarn, it coiled around Li Yao, emitting a crackling sound like electricity crackling upon contact with the air! What's going on?!

Li Yao shook his head, closed his eyes, and tried to understand the reason for the changes in the sword energy.

Um...

The sound is remarkably similar to that of Thousand Birds.

It means the sound is sharper, more subtle, and more concentrated.

Within the soul,

The magical energy, formed by the fusion of soul power and spiritual power, circulates within the Magic Spirit Pool. Meanwhile, the Specialized Magic Rune of the Shaping School are now emitting a faint glow on the Magic Spirit Pool within the soul, drawing elemental rules and spiritual energy from the outside world and integrating them into the Magic Spirit Pool!

And under the guidance of this aura,

The Specialized Magic Rune of the Transmutation Faction are also shining brightly, intertwining and harmonizing with the rules and energy of the Evocation School.

After observing for a while, he discovered that the previously chaotic and unbalanced magical and spiritual energy in the Magic Spirit Pool had actually calmed down considerably...

Li Yao opened his eyes. At this moment, he was still surrounded by a large number of sword energy threads. Those threads were slowly floating in mid-air, and they even seemed to have a sense of beauty.

Li Yao attempted to control these threads to expand again.

Immediately,

The power within the Magic Spirit Pool has been released! Brilliant!

Li Yao happily took two steps in place, so that he could harmonize the rules and energy of the Shaping Energy School and the Transmutation Faction in a short time!

Moreover, it might come in handy when you develop your third specialization in the future!

As for why...

Li Yao guessed that after the Magic Spirit Pool was expanded with Specialized Magic Rune, it was as if he had an extra opening to the outside world. Since his control was not very proficient, the pressure of the external rules and energy was much greater than the pressure of the rules and energy within his own body, which is why the external energy kept pouring in.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Its advantage lies in the fact that this passive flow of rule energy means that in the early stages, mages don't need to expend much energy to absorb the energy.

The monk only needs to focus on harmonizing himself.

As for the bad...

That is, this kind of passive induction can easily cause disorders in the body.

This is why Lin Xiaowei said that the more specialization inscriptions a character has, the more dangerous it becomes.

But now, Li Yao seems to have found a way to solve this problem! Why not just passively infuse the energy of the rules while releasing the pressure through skill usage? Even after completing the branding process, he can still use this skill to harmonize and temper the power within his body!

That's incredibly versatile!

Li Yao thought for a moment and then withdrew the sword energy and deactivated the skill. He then began to sense again—sure enough, under the influence of external pressure, both the Specialized Magic Rune of the Transmutation Faction and the Magic Shaping School were faintly glowing, permeating the Magic Spirit Pool with energy.

These permeating rules and auras are like drops of ink falling into water, and of different colors at that! They quickly spread out and intertwine with each other.

Wow! Perfect for a continuous skill like Spring Rain! Li Yao excitedly took out his phone, ready to tell Lin Xiaowei about his discovery, "I've discovered an amazing skill!"

Lin Xiaowei: "???"

Li Yao told Lin Xiaowei about his discovery.

After Li Yao finished speaking, Lin Xiaowei rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you try replacing your 'Spring Rain Technique' with ' Flame Hand '?"

Li Yao did as instructed.

The spell model was quickly constructed, and a layer of flame appeared on Li Yao's hand like a glove! His right hand was ablaze.

Intense heat radiated outwards from the center of that hand.

This skill is a variation of "Burning Hand". Burning Hand releases a cone-shaped flame forward with the palm of the hand, while "Flame Hand" allows the flame to gently adhere to the palm. This layer of flame can be used for both attack and defense, and can also be used to control magic to make the flame shoot out!

It is considered a relatively advanced skill in the beginner level.

After all, it incorporates features from several different schools of energy manipulation techniques.

While Li Yao was trying it, Lin Xiaowei sent him a message asking, "How does it feel?"

The moment he released the Burning Hand, Li Yao noticed that the energy of the Shaping School accumulated within his soul was being rapidly depleted. He even activated some of the characteristics of the Transmutation Faction, because the Flame Hand skill itself required a certain degree of precise control.

The Transmutation Faction, despite its name, Specialized Magic Rune, and its greatest effect often lies in precise control.

after all,

To better unleash the magic of the Transmutation Faction, one must control one's own magical power with greater precision and finesse.

Otherwise, how would you use psionic energy and the power of rules to change your body's state? After confirming his own situation, Li Yao felt a little frustrated. It seemed he wasn't so lucky or so talented! How could the mage community in the Main World, after developing for so many years, not have noticed the changes in his soul and Magic Spirit Pool after imprinting his Second Specialization? Lin Xiaowei continued, "It's also my fault for forgetting to remind you; this is, after all, an experiment. But it's good that you noticed it; it shows you're very observant and have high comprehension!"

Li Yao rolled his eyes and waved his hand to extinguish the flames on his hand.

He typed back, "Okay, okay, you don't have to comfort me like that..."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Li Yao suddenly froze, and after a moment of careful consideration, he replied, "No, buddy, let me tell you! We're different!"

Lin Xiaowei: "???"

We are different; everyone has different circumstances.

First update: Mom's surgery was quite successful. The leg bones are almost back in place, and you can barely see the seam. There's a small part of the tibia that looks like it was dislocated, but the doctor said it's fine... I hope everything goes well from here on out, and I hope you all enjoy reading this. I love you all!
