Creation Failed!

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the village square.

All the Apostle stood in a circle, their expressions solemn and profound in the firelight.

A huge tortoise shell was placed in front of the campfire. Yu Mo lowered his head, closed his eyes, and stood in front of the campfire with his hands clasped together.

"Great Phenomenon of the Four Extremes, please bless your Apostle so that they may create skills."

After Yu Mo finished speaking, she bowed three times to the tortoise shell.

Behind him, Yu Ling looked at Xiao Fan with a serious expression.

"Jiu Chen, do you think my brother can succeed?"

Xiao Fan turned around, his eyes serious. "I believe in your brother, he can definitely do it."

"Really?" Yu Ling blinked her big eyes and jumped up excitedly.

Xiao Fan:...

Asking any further would be pointless.

Seeing that Yu Mo was about to create a skill, Xiao Fan quickly turned his gaze to him.

This is his only chance to learn creative skills.

Yu Mo's wood element cannot be melted, so he cannot directly integrate the element into the tortoise shell and can only rely on external force.

He picked up a 20cm long wooden stick and connected himself to the tortoise shell.

Next, he infused his own elements into the wooden branch and then transferred them to the tortoise shell.

Some people held their breath, their eyes fixed on the tortoise shell in the center.

All was silent except for the crackling of the campfire.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Xiao Fan's wood element allowed him to keenly sense that Yu Mo's wood element was completely surrounding the tortoise shell.

Suddenly, the tortoise shell emitted a faint green hue.

"It's a success!"

Yu Ling exclaimed in delight.

"Huh? It's finished already?"

Xiao Fan was completely dumbfounded. That was it? He felt like he'd watched something completely pointless...

Yu Ling:...

I'm begging you, can't you just be a quiet, strong person?

Yin explained, "Yu Mo hasn't created any skills yet; he's only completed the first step, successfully integrating elements into the Monster Beast materials."

"This is very difficult. The larger the Monster Beast material, the harder it is to integrate. It's already quite impressive that Yu Mo was able to integrate it into the Demon Turtle."

Xiao Fan: "I understand."

He looked away and said, "You don't know anything."

Xiao Fan:...

He originally thought that Yu Mo had at least a 50-60% chance of creating a skill.

Now it seems like a complete naked fight...

The turtle can't beat it, and even incorporating elements doesn't seem like it has a sure chance of success.

I've come this far thanks to one idea in my heart.

Now Xiao Fan was even less optimistic about his ability to create this skill.

Standing before the tortoise shell, Yu Mo's face was somewhat pale; integrating such a large piece of Monster Beast material was a tremendous challenge for him.

"Thank goodness it worked!"

Yu Mo wiped the sweat from her forehead, but her eyes shone with an alarming light.

Next is the skill creation time.

"Imagine the skill you want to create in your mind."

Several large characters appeared in front of the tortoise shell, which only Yu Mo could see.

This is what makes the Trial Land so special; no one knows why.

It seems that the Trial Land have been such a magical existence since the continent first appeared.

Yu Mo took a deep breath and visualized the ultimate skill she had been fantasizing about for twenty-five years.

"Please mentally rehearse the skill you want to create."

Yu Mo then gave a cool demonstration of the skill she had created.

"Skills assessment in progress, please wait."

Yu Mo held her breath, the sound of her heartbeat amplified in her ears.

One second, two seconds, three seconds--

The crackling of the campfire sounded particularly jarring at that moment.

Will it be approved?

This skill was a technique he had honed in his mind for twenty-five years, every detail etched into his very bones, yet at the moment of actually handing it over, he felt uncertain.

Yu Mo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm the unease churning in her chest.

The Apostle who were watching remained silent, but their eyes held a glimmer of hope. As the former leader of their village, if Yu Mo could successfully create a skill, their entire village would be looked Lower Lower Stream to in the Trial Land.

Once the Combat Mode is activated, other villages will have to think twice before attacking them.

Yu Ling clenched her fists even more nervously.

Will my brother succeed?

Xiao Fan looked at the tortoise shell that emitted a soft green light.

He had clearly seen the process of creating skills, and he wanted to try creating skills after Yu Mo finished.

He thought about it all night yesterday.

While there are entry requirements for creating skills in the Trial Land, there are no restrictions on the number of creation attempts.

This is a good thing for him.

He doesn't need to create skills with the mindset of necessarily succeeding; in fact, he can be bolder in creating skills.

Even if it fails, it just means preparing another set of materials.

We can afford it.

Xiao Fan had figured it out, and he was going to create the skill he had previously conceived.

Success is great, but failure is fine too; it's just a waste of materials.

While they were thinking, a gasp suddenly came from the crowd.

Xiao Fan quickly pulled himself back to reality and looked ahead.

Yu Mo's skill creation attempt failed.

The turtle shell, which had been emitting a green glow just moments before, turned completely grayish-white and shattered into pieces.

This is a phenomenon indicating a failure in skill creation.

It is said that if the creation skill is successful, the Monster Beast materials will transform into a living phantom of the Monster Beast and merge into the Apostle's body.

However, Yu Ling and the others have never seen one; very few Apostle can successfully create skills.

"Just as I expected."

Xiao Fan was not surprised by this result; he had guessed the ending from the part where Yu Mo fought the turtle.

The Apostle Zhou was somewhat disappointed.

The failure of leaders to create skills is also a blow to them.

Yu Mo knelt straight on the ground.

Even though he had considered this ending before, he still felt sad when he actually faced this moment.

He had been planning and creating this skill since he was old enough to understand, but he still failed.

This also means that he may never have the skill again in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Mo couldn't help but shed tears.

Twenty-five years of effort, all for naught in the end.

"Brother." Yu Ling looked at Yu Mo with heartache, but did not step forward.

But at that moment, a figure passed by her and walked straight toward Yu Mo.

"Jiu Chen? What are you going to do?"

Xiao Fan walked over to Yu Mo and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Mo, are you still creating skills?"

Yu Mo:... What does he mean? Didn't you see he was upset about failing to create a skill? Doesn't he know that destroying materials is a sign of a failed skill creation?

Damn it! I'm not in the mood to explain this to him.

"What I mean is, we still have four tortoise shells, you can take another one to create," Xiao Fan explained.

Yu Mo: "Thank you, but no need."

He'd been trying to develop a skill for twenty-five years without success; even if he had the materials now, where was the skill itself?

The skills are gone! What's the point of creating anything?

Xiao Fan: "Really, you don't need to?"

Yu Mo: "Really, it's not necessary."

Xiao Fan: "No need, give it to me, I need it."

Yu Mo:...

"What do you need the tortoise shell for?" Yu Mo asked, taking a deep breath.

"Of course, it's creation skills," Xiao Fan said.

Yu Mo was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly realized that Xiao Fan also had wood element in his body.

Logically speaking, he could indeed create skills using tortoise shells.

But why didn't he mention having creative skills before? Could this have been a spur-of-the-moment decision?
