Chapter 152: The Conditions for the Formation of Special Elements

  After the 'baptism' of the first heavenly thunder, Du Fei also had a slight understanding of the power of heavenly thunder and did not dare to act rashly. To know that the power of nature is unpredictable, even some powerful warriors who want to contend with the power of nature have to weigh their chances several times, let alone Du Fei's current cultivation which has only condensed to the Yuan boundary.

  After resting for a few days, when Du Fei's body had fully recovered, he stood alone on the cliff where he and the apes often appeared, occasionally gazing up at the sky. At this time, the sky was clear with no signs of impending thunderstorms. Du Fei looked up at the sky, then glanced at his outstretched palm, a puzzled expression hanging on his face as he thought deeply about something.

  "What's wrong with you, ever since you were struck by lightning, you've become like a fool. Say something quickly." The Wordless Heavenly Book shone brightly with white light on Du Fei's face to get his attention.

  Du Fei changed his expression, looked dazed for a moment, and responded: "I don't know, I just feel strange. For the past two days after being struck by lightning, I didn't notice any reaction on my body because of the pain all over my body. Until today when I practiced internal energy to heal my wounds, I discovered something strange. It feels weird, but I can't quite put it into words." After saying this, Du Fei shook his head, still with a puzzled and bewildered expression on his face.

  "Oh. Is that so? Then you come back and tell me what it feels like, I'll help you explain it." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Since being struck by lightning, I feel like I'm more spirited than before, as if the energy in my body is endless. My hearing also seems to have improved greatly, it's as if I can hear the sound of thunder elements in the sky." Du Fei said, pointing at the clear blue sky.

  "Oh, really? Won't happen, you little brat's luck can't be that good. Not very likely." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  Du Fei's eyes widened as he asked, "Oh, what do you mean by this? It feels like I've stumbled upon a treasure! Speak clearly!"

  "Can you really hear the sound of thunder in the sky?" The wordless heavenly book wrote.

  "That's right, not only can I hear the sound of many thunderclaps, but I can also feel the elements of thunder in the clouds colliding fiercely with each other like thousands of horses and soldiers, numerous and resplendent." Du Fei replied calmly with his eyes closed, facing the sky.

  "Who would have thought that you little scamp actually hit the nail on the head? Such luck also exists, it's as if heaven itself is helping you. You've struck it rich, kid! Let me tell you, with your current cultivation, you can already sense the presence of elements in nature. Your future prospects are boundless!" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Can't you speak clearly for once? You always stop halfway through, are you trying to drive me mad?" Du Fei said somewhat anxiously.

  "Generally, a controller can sense the existence of elements in nature after reaching the control boundary, as long as there is a corresponding yuanqi bead in the body. However, it's basically impossible for those controllers to truly sense the existence of elements. At most, they only know how many elements are in each place in nature, but they don't know what the elements look like or what properties they have. Only when their cultivation and strength improve can they feel the elements more clearly and deeply understand them, so that they can use the elements better. But your situation is really rare in the world, there's only one explanation." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Oh, what explanation?" Du Fei asked excitedly, looking at the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "The elemental variations gave rise to special elements, also known as the anomalous elements on the Elemental Continent." The Scripture of the Wordless wrote.

  "What!?! Special Element?!" Du Fei's face was shocked as he stared at the Wordless Heavenly Book, but he still couldn't quite believe it. His hands grasped the book tightly, shaking with excitement: "Are you telling the truth? You're saying I now possess a Special Element, really?" Du Fei indeed had some difficulty believing the Wordless Heavenly Book's words. After all, not just anyone could possess a Special Element - the probability of its occurrence was virtually zero. Even for someone like Du Fei, a Five-Element Control Master, the chances of having a Special Element were extremely low. Moreover, Special Elements differed from other elements in that they were derived from two or more basic elements among the Seven Great Basic Elements, not only possessing the fundamental abilities of those elements but also elevating them by several levels. Most importantly, they gave rise to new abilities. Any martial technique unleashed using a Special Element would have power at least on par with Sacred-level techniques. It was no wonder Du Fei reacted so strongly upon receiving this news.

  Du Fei slapped himself twice on the face, feeling a sharp pain, but still had a smile on his face, and asked the wordless heavenly book with a silly grin: "Are you telling the truth? You didn't cheat me, I'm not dreaming now, am I?"

  "It's useless to cheat you, don't worry, really, but I didn't say that you have special elements on your body, you need to understand." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  Du Fei's expression also changed 180 degrees in an instant, as if he had been struck by lightning again. He stared at the blank Heavenly Book with his mouth agape. After a while, he scowled and complained: "You little brat still haven't fooled me, this time you've really taken me for a ride! Are you going to behave or do I have to take care of you right now?" Having said that, Du Fei put the blank Heavenly Book in front of him.

  The wordless heavenly book also changed rapidly, and the words appeared: "Older brother, don't, you never listen to me finish speaking. I haven't finished yet." Seeing the words on the wordless heavenly book, Du Fei's face turned ferocious as he spoke to the wordless heavenly book: "Good, speak, if you can't make it clear, I'll still make you look good."

  "Heh, definitely. Most control masters don't know what this special element is or where it comes from. You also know that the higher the cultivation level and strength of a control master, the greater the chance of having a special element, right?" Du Fei nodded heavily and added, "And it must be a Tian Xing Zhe (Heavenly Traveler) too." After finishing speaking, Du Fei continued to look at the words appearing on the wordless heavenly book: "According to the control master's cultivation level, at least a control master who has cultivated to the Ming Yuan boundary can have a special element, right? Then do you know why?" Du Fei shook his head heavily when he saw this: "I knew you wouldn't know, because only control masters who have reached the Ming Yuan boundary can reach the level of sensing elements that you did earlier, and even then it's only those with exceptional innate talent. Ordinary people don't even need to think about it. And that sensing element is what control masters call 'yuan shi' (elemental awareness)."

  Du Fei hurriedly said: "Oh, isn't it just Yuan Shi? Then what's the big deal? Even if I sensed something, what can I do about it?"

  "Shut up, kid. Don't interrupt me or I won't continue. A Transmutation Circle is formed by combining multiple basic elements in a specific way, but do you know how hard it is to combine those basic elements? Now, try releasing two random elements from your body and see what happens when they come into contact with each other."

  "You fart, you little bastard wants to kill me, others may not know, but I'm not clear about it, I've done this kind of thing before, that's going to blow people up." Du Fei scolded loudly.

  "I thought you didn't know, you're quite clever. These seven basic elements are interdependent and mutually restrictive, and if two of them come into contact with each other carelessly, they will explode. Even a tiny amount of these elements can be fatal, and the more there is, the more astonishing the power will be. All controllers know this point, but how many people can clearly recognize that the power released by arranging and combining these basic elements is even greater? Only controllers who have reached the realm of Mingyuan can do so, because at that level, their yuan consciousness has reached an astonishing level, and their understanding of the elements is also deeper. Therefore, they also have the primary conditions for creating special elements. However, you also know that these elements will explode with just a slight touch, let alone those controllers who own special elements and conduct this experiment within their own bodies. If there's even a tiny mistake, the consequences are unthinkable. Those who own special elements are without exception, experimenting thousands of times within their own bodies before creating special elements. That is to say, they have also crossed the line between life and death thousands of times." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, so that's how it is. I had always thought that special elements were innate, but I didn't expect them to be created later in life. If what you're saying is true, then I've already met the conditions for creating a special element!" Du Fei said excitedly.

  "It's not enough, you're just now more sensitive to the Thunder Element, but your sensitivity to other elements hasn't changed much. Overall, your Yuan Shen hasn't risen by much, it's just a tiny bit. However, nothing is absolute, who knows how good your luck will be?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Haha, exactly, that's the way it is. Nothing is absolute, and if I succeed, wouldn't I have gained an extra trump card?" Du Fei said with a smug expression.

  "Still got a killer move, I think you're just about done for, kid," Wú Zì Tiān Shū wrote. At this moment, the originally clear sky was suddenly occupied by dark and oppressive black clouds, with flashes of lightning clearly visible within them as they rolled around. Dù Fěi also stopped smiling on his face, calmly gazing up at the sky.

  The wordless heavenly book quickly changed its strokes: "Can you really do it?"

  "Let me go, I've reached a new level of sensitivity to the Thunder Element," Du Fei said with a smile. "Just assist me and don't worry about the danger, it won't be a problem for me." As soon as he finished speaking, two dazzling wings suddenly appeared behind him, and Du Fei dived straight into the sky...
