Researching Electromagnetic Force

Then, with a flash of White Light, Su Hao's consciousness gradually returned as he lay inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. He opened his eyes, just as the metal chamber of the Spirit Ascension Platform was opened by the Staff outside.

Amid the sound of metal grinding, the light outside reappeared before Su Hao. The first people he saw were Wu Changkong and the teacher who taught him Soul Tools, the master of this Spirit Pagoda, Cao Hongwen.

Seeing Su Hao exit the Spirit Ascension Platform, Su Hao could clearly sense that Wu Changkong, standing beside him, was very satisfied with his performance this time. Sure enough, just as Su Hao had expected, he heard Wu Changkong say:

"Not bad!"

Cao Hongwen immediately added from the side:

"Good kid, well done.

When I heard that someone had killed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear guarding the interval zone of the Spirit Ascension Platform, I hurried over. I didn't expect it to be you.

I knew you were strong, but I never thought you'd be able to kill that Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear already.

Since you've killed it, absorb that Soul Bone. It was meant for you anyway. I've already written the application report, and I'll submit it later. Go ahead and absorb that Soul Bone without worry."

Hearing that Cao Hongwen had decided to give him the Soul Bone, Su Hao gratefully thanked him.

Then, citing his busy work schedule, Cao Hongwen was the first to leave the room.

After Cao Hongwen left, the Spirit Pagoda Staff member tactfully withdrew from the room as well.

Su Hao then asked Wu Changkong beside him:

"Teacher Wu, how are Wulin and Xie Xie?"

Before Wu Changkong could answer, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, both pale-faced, walked over with the help of Gu Yue and the other three. Xie Xie said weakly:

"I didn't think you'd still remember us. I thought you got so caught up chatting that you forgot all about Wulin and me.

Wulin and I are basically fine now. Wulin's condition is much better than mine. After resting for a while, he should be completely fine.

My spiritual power isn't as strong as Wulin's, and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear nearly hit me in the head. Luckily, I had the Thousand Refinements Cloud Titanium Vest Wulin gave me earlier. It blocked the attack a little at the critical moment and gave me time to react. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to dodge the blow to my head. That would have been real trouble."

Wu Changkong came over and said:

"Since you've finished talking, I'll announce your results for this exam."

Hearing that Wu Changkong was about to announce their scores, Gu Yue and the others all perked up their ears, eager to hear how many points they had earned.

Seeing that everyone had focused their attention back on him, Wu Changkong swept his gaze around them and said coldly:

"For the first Final Exam subject, everyone except Tang Wulin received full marks.

Tang Wulin, however, had one point deducted for taking the lead in cheating. His Final Exam score is ninety-nine."

Tang Wulin had thought that Wu Changkong would deduct many points because of his cheating, causing him to fail.

Yet only one point had been deducted, leaving him with ninety-nine points. What difference was there between that and a perfect score? He immediately shouted, "Long live Teacher Wu!"

Seeing Tang Wulin cheering loudly, Wu Changkong said nothing. Only after letting him cheer for a while did he speak:

"Enough. Save the celebration for later. You still have one assessment left to pass. It won't begin for several days, so you need to keep working hard during this time.

Now, let's discuss your cheating."

Then, Wu Changkong handed Tang Wulin the Thousand Refinements Cloud Titanium Vest he had taken off Xie Xie and asked:

"You can perform Thousand Refinements now?"

Tang Wulin froze for a moment upon hearing Wu Changkong's question, then answered yes.

Wu Changkong nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing that Wu Changkong had nothing else to say, Tang Wulin could not help wanting to tell him about what he had discovered inside the Spirit Ascension Platform that afternoon. Wu Changkong stopped him, telling him to wait until they returned to the academy.

Since the day's Final Exam was over, Wu Changkong led everyone back toward the academy. Tang Wulin, who had mostly recovered, carried Xie Xie on his back.

Although Xie Xie's body had regained sensation, his movements were still somewhat uncoordinated. According to the Spirit Pagoda Staff, he would need at least a day to recover fully, but fortunately, no serious lasting problems would remain.

As for whether he would be mentally traumatized, that could only be asked of Xie Xie himself.

But Xie Xie said carelessly:

"I'm not traumatized. I didn't even see what Soul Beast attacked me, so where would the trauma come from?"

Seeing that Xie Xie truly showed no signs of trauma, no one said anything else. Still, they buried that possibility deep in their hearts.

After returning to the academy, Wu Changkong immediately gave the order to disperse:

"Go back and rest properly. We'll hold a review meeting tomorrow. Tang Wulin, come to my dormitory."

Tang Wulin therefore asked Su Hao to take Xie Xie back to the dormitory to rest, while he himself went to Wu Changkong's office.

So Su Hao carried Xie Xie in Tang Wulin's place and took him back to the dormitory. After laying Xie Xie down to rest, Su Hao returned to his own dormitory, while Tang Wulin went to Wu Changkong's office.

Back in his dormitory, Su Hao looked at the Soul Bone on his left hand, unable to suppress his joy. For a moment, he wanted to give up creating a powerful offensive Soul Skill, but in the end he dismissed the idea. He still needed to develop an attack Soul Skill and could not rely on this one alone.

At that moment, Su Hao recalled a skill from an anime in his previous life: the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, a skill powered by Electromagnetic Force.

With that theory, all Su Hao needed to do was convert his Thunder into Electromagnetic Force, then he could use it to unleash that skill.

Su Hao only knew that lightning was the process of electrical discharge in the sky. During that process, electricity became electric charge through high-speed movement, and electric charge generated an electric field while moving at high speed. That electric field was the Electromagnetic Force Su Hao needed. When electric charges gathered together, they became an electric current.

So, simply put, lightning consisted of electric current and an electromagnetic field. (Complete nonsense, don't take it seriously!)

What Su Hao needed to do was separate the electric current and electromagnetic field from his Thunder when he needed them, then combine the two back into Thunder when he did not.

Thus, Su Hao spent the entire night trying to separate his Thunder. It was not until the following morning that he barely succeeded.
