"I believe you now have a basic understanding of the Innovation School. Next, we will explain how to more efficiently awaken and combine Ability Energy..."
Time passed slowly, and Mr. Gael taught very seriously and meticulously. In terms of teaching skills, he was far superior to Mr. Lande before him.
Lancelot gained a lot, and after class, he organized the information in his mind as he walked.
The Innovation School is actually quite similar to the bloodline warlock, which is a lineage of spellcasters.
Or rather, the Innovation School was originally created by the Northern Spirit Empire using the ideas of bloodline sorcerers.
Just like Alchemical Runology, which originated from Magic Runes.
After all, in the Astral Realm, the history of magical civilizations is longer than that of technological and alchemical civilizations.
The magical civilization rose during the First Age of the Astral Realm, but it was suppressed by the gods and could not develop on a large scale.
Meanwhile, the technological and alchemical civilizations rose to prominence during the Second Age of the Astral Realm, and ultimately, together with the magical civilization, defeated the former overlords, creating Dusk of the Gods.
From then on, the Astral Realm entered the Third Age, a time of great intellectual ferment, the rise of civilizations, and unprecedented brilliance.
That being said, those Walker go before will naturally have some influence on those who come after.
The so-called Innovation Skill are essentially the same as the bloodline of a bloodline sorcerer.
Transforming oneself is, in fact, a transformation of life.
From snake to dragon, from cocoon to butterfly.
To become a more advanced species.
Self-renewal is self-evolution.
This evolutionary path required the blood and bones of other creatures to pave the way.
"Innovators are often predators..."
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Lancelot felt compelled to speak out: the glory of the Innovation School was entirely built upon the corpses of countless creatures, plundering their talents for their own use, euphemistically calling it awakening new Ability Energy, but in reality, it was no different from robbery.
"But... who isn't a robber? Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp, heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs, and humans devour all things to nourish themselves—this too is in accordance with the laws of nature. The way of innovation? No, the way of overthrowing heaven!"
As his thoughts became clearer, Lancelot's gaze grew increasingly resolute.
Everything else is meaningless; true strength lies within yourself!
Half a day passed in a reform lesson. Lancelot returned home, ate dinner, and with a wave of his hand, a projection screen appeared in front of him.
"Open the library page."
Soon, the screen refreshed, and a dazzling array of books and information appeared.
Lancelot quickly found the section where the Innovation Compendium was located. After clicking on it, a large amount of content interspersed with videos, pictures, and text descriptions came into view.
These Innovation Compendium are arranged from strongest to weakest, with the same grading standards as Ability Energy, though the lowest is still A-level.
Lancelot was amazed as he read through the first and third techniques. These Innovation Skill were extremely powerful; any one of them, once mastered, would have the power to Destruction an ordinary planet.
When he saw the fourth one, Lancelot's pupils narrowed. This Innovation Compendium was none other than the creation of Dean Urta.
[Annihilation Black Hole]
Category: Energy Side
Rank: SSS
Introduction: Created by Urta, the current dean of the Holy Sword Academy, it can absorb all energy to replenish its own consumption and cause effects such as gravitational bending and spatial collapse. It is extremely powerful, combining offense and defense.
Mastering Requirements: [Energy Absorption Lv52], [Energy Manipulation Lv48], [Gravitational Collapse Lv25]... (A total of 19 Ability Energy combinations)
Auxiliary Resources: [Stellar Core], [100 ml Badokos Solution (Five-Star Legend)], [Space Fragments]... (Total 12 types of resources)
"This kind of consumption is really outrageous." Lancelot clicked his tongue in amazement, then clicked on an attached video.
The scene changes.
The darkness is boundless and endless. Unlike looking up at the Starry Sky from the ground, the real space is nothing but silence and endless darkness, and the stars are actually very dim.
Only by standing in space can one truly feel loneliness, and at the same time, feel a more fervent love and reverence for Mother Planet.
In this dark Starry Sky, an old man with a white beard floated silently. He looked ordinary, but he seemed to possess a unique Magic Power that naturally attracted people's attention.
roar!--
A deafening dragon roar echoed through space. This roar was completely unaffected by the vacuum environment and was transmitted along the omnipresent Magical Energy network, causing ripples in the universe wherever it passed.
Then, a golden dragon, ten thousand meters long, emerged from the torn space. Its entire body was covered with fine, golden scales, and its three pairs of horns resembled a crown. Its neck was long and powerful, and its pupils were a brilliant gold with a burning majesty. Its tail swung naturally, and the whole dragon appeared extremely heroic, masculine, and Haki.
"Urta, you've gone too far! How dare you invade Planet Kando alone!" the golden dragon roared. "Since you're here, you're not leaving. I'll capture you and exchange you for the Holy Sword and Tanduorsi!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the Gold Dragon's long neck lit up segment by segment from bottom to top. Then, it opened its mouth and spewed out Gold Dragon breath mixed with lightning and flames.
Wherever the dragon's breath passed, Magical Energy surged, space trembled and cracked, and a meteorite was hit, instantly melting away.
Despite such a terrifying attack, Urta remained calm and composed. His thick, white beard, which almost dragged on the ground, moved without wind. After the old man yawned, his body suddenly disintegrated.
The next moment, a Black Hole that stretched across the Starry Sky quietly appeared.
Light, dust, and meteors are all drawn in by the terrifying gravity emanating from the Black Hole. Even planets on the edge of a nearby star system are trembling and deviating from their orbits.
When the golden dragon's breath landed on the Black Hole, Black Hole was absorbed completely without even making a ripple, as if a mud ox had entered the sea.
"It tastes good, Clausius. You've improved quite a bit over the years."
A slightly amused, aged voice echoed through the Starry Sky. The Gold Dragon Clausius's pupils constricted, as if he had seen something terrifying, and he said incredulously, "You actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Gold Dragon turned and ran away.
However, before he knew it, a huge Black Hole had appeared behind him.
The Gold Dragon's attempt to enter the spatial rift failed; instead, it fell into the Black Hole that Urta had transformed into.
Despite its frantic struggle to escape, it was like a fawn struggling in a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper until it finally vanished without a trace.
The video ends here.
Lancelot took a deep breath. Even in his previous life, he could only run for his life against such power, and might not even be able to escape.
"Sooner or later, I will wield power even greater than this!" Lancelot clenched his fist.
After calming down, he continued to browse through the list of Innovation Compendium, selecting Innovation Skill suitable for his own practice.
