Projection Magic Success

"So, I guess I learned another trick!" Back in his bedroom, Bai Jing lightly clapped his hands, and spatial portals appeared in front, behind, to the left, to the right, and overhead!

Five spatial portals, five surging streams of water, meant five times the speed!

This was already not much slower than being underwater!

By 8 AM, Bai Jing's repulsion radius had increased from 1.9 meters to 2.5 meters!

Bai Jing was rich now, and he could ignore the numbers after the decimal point!

"Right, with my current gravity strength, can I process Adamantium now?" Bai Jing remembered the Adamantium he had obtained before.

When Bullseye and Daredevil fought, Daredevil threw him off the rooftop, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. He was later saved by the Japanese scientist Kenji Oyama. To restore Bullseye's spine, Kenji Oyama injected him with Adamantium.

As for why the liquid Adamantium didn't burn Bullseye to death, who knows!

This Adamantium was with Bai Jing, six pieces in total. Because they were shaped like a spine, and Bai Jing couldn't process them before, he never used them and kept them in a cabinet.

He got up and walked over to the combination lock cabinet, which he had damaged with gravity and then sealed with gravity. Unless someone could also control gravity or electromagnetism, it was absolutely impossible to open.

Controlling the atoms to shift position, he opened the cabinet door and took out the six pieces of Adamantium.

Each was only about 8 cubic centimeters, and their shapes were very irregular.

Closing his eyes, Bai Jing felt the atomic arrangement of the Adamantium again. Every time he felt it, he thought the arrangement was simply art!

Then he began to pull the atoms on it!

He discovered a difference as soon as he started trying. Last time, he had used all his strength and couldn't move them at all, but this time, he hadn't even used much force before the atoms successfully moved!

"It really works!" Bai Jing was a little excited and about to process it when he suddenly thought of another problem.

The excellent properties of Adamantium were inseparable from its special atomic arrangement. If he moved the atoms of Adamantium, would it really not affect its properties?

Besides, his Black Hole Metal wasn't bad either. Black Hole Metal enhances metal hardness by gathering metal atoms. If developed further, it could arrange all atoms tightly together, becoming a Strong Interaction Material, whose hardness would not be inferior to Adamantium.

After all, the only things that could defeat Strong Interaction Material were other Strong Interaction Materials or approaching it from a higher dimension.

"But Strong Interaction Material is too difficult to create. A poker card-sized sheet would consume 90 billion billion metal titanium sheets of the same size. Where would I get so much!" Bai Jing felt he should try to modify Adamantium instead!

He used gravity to control the Adamantium atoms, moving them bit by bit, flattening and sharpening the metal that was originally shaped like a spine!

Half an hour later, the former Adamantium spinal bone transformed into a sword, as thin as a cicada's wing and one meter long!

"It seems... it doesn't affect its performance?" Bai Jing tried to bend the sword, but found that even when he used gravity to apply several tons of force to the sword, this sword, only 0.2 millimeters thick, wouldn't bend even a little!

"Then, what if I remove one atom?" Bai Jing put the sword aside and picked up another one to try.

He wouldn't bear to damage this sword, after all, he had worked on it for half an hour!

He used gravity to break the chemical bond between two atoms and pried out one atom. After that, he felt that the entire Adamantium seemed to have undergone some change!

"Huh?" When Bai Jing moved its atoms again, he found they were easily pried loose. He controlled gravity to arbitrarily shape the metal, and after a long time, he finally admitted that this piece of metal had become ordinary steel.

"Just moving the atoms' positions without breaking the chemical bonds, Adamantium remains Adamantium, but as soon as one atom is removed, it becomes ordinary steel?" Bai Jing didn't quite understand why. He understood neither materials science nor physics.

"But if that's the case, I can actually change the appearance of Adamantium at will, into whatever I want!" Five deformable materials with the world's best defense were practically magical treasures!

The only problem was that they couldn't be bound to a master.

Bai Jing controlled the remaining five pieces of Adamantium, transforming them into a string of beads to wear on his wrist. This whole process took another two and a half hours.

"Gravity is still too weak, but as long as I keep absorbing it, one day, I'll be able to change it into whatever I want with just a thought!" Bai Jing thought. Wasn't this the reason he was learning projection magic!

He turned off the portal, closed his eyes, and his spirit left his body!

With a single thought, Bai Jing arrived outside the Earth.

This was the speed of thought. Bai Jing wasn't as monstrous as the Ancient One, able to travel faster than light, but traveling from Earth to space in an instant wasn't difficult.

This was his first time traveling alone in spirit. Standing in the starry sky, looking at the Earth before him, his mind was filled with countless thoughts.

I've learned projection magic, and now I can barely be considered a novice mage!

"A mage's greatest enemy is the void!" a voice sounded beside Bai Jing. "The more you see, the more people you meet, the more you fall into the void, pondering the meaning of life, the meaning of society, but thinking about these is meaningless!"

"Only by relaxing, staying optimistic, cheerful, and curious can you go further!"

Bai Jing turned his head and saw the Ancient One standing beside him, though much more ethereal than her spiritual form.

"This is a bit of my thought!" the Ancient One smiled. "The Three Sanctums form a formation, guarding the main universe, and also preventing spirits and malevolent thoughts from approaching Earth!"

If it's an enemy, either drive them away or kill them.

If it's an ally, then chat and encourage them.

"Oh!" Bai Jing nodded and looked into the distance. "Can I go to Jupiter then?"

Where to absorb energy?

Within the solar system, the most suitable was naturally the Sun, followed by Jupiter, because it was big.

"You are still very weak now, I don't recommend you go!" the Ancient One shook her head. "There are unknown secrets within the stars, even I wouldn't dare to venture in lightly. I suggest you go to the universes recorded in books and already explored. They are relatively safe. When you become stronger, then explore the unknown!"

Am I weak?

Am I weak?

Bai Jing wanted to grab the Ancient One's collar and make her reconsider. Was he really weak?

But she was a nun after all, a weak woman. I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't quibble with her.

"While the spirit is difficult to injure, once it is wounded, it is extremely difficult to heal!" the Ancient One continued, "The Sanctums don't have any good methods, at least!"

"Alright!" Bai Jing nodded, "Then are there any worlds made entirely of water?"

The Ancient One smiled and then disappeared.

"Ugh..." Bai Jing was speechless. She could have just told me directly. Now I have to go back and look through books!

He looked in the direction of Jupiter. Jupiter didn't really have much presence originally, but after watching The Wandering Earth, he specifically looked it up.

Jupiter's mass is 11 times that of Earth, but because Jupiter's density is so low, its volume is 1321 times that of Earth.

Another interesting point is that Jupiter's radius is one-tenth of the Sun's, and its mass is one-thousandth of the Sun's. Therefore, Jupiter's density is similar to the Sun's.

So there's a saying that Jupiter is a star disguised as a planet, which actually makes a lot of sense.

The other seven planets in the solar system are all solid, while only Jupiter is gaseous. It's large, and absorbing it would definitely be faster, enough for Bai Jing to develop for a long time.

But the Ancient One actually said Jupiter was dangerous?

What danger could there be?

Hmph!

Bai Jing turned and returned to his own body.

He wasn't chickening out; he just felt that absorbing a gas giant wouldn't be as efficient as a world made entirely of water. So he'd still look through his books to see if there were any water worlds!

The holiday ends tomorrow.
