Chapter 71: The Repulsive and Gravitational Forces Sorcery
Translator: John_Cui Editor: VirtualFrappe
Sunlight passed through the windows and poured itself on the testing table.
The air was filled with the fragrance of tea developed from Ilex—it was llow yet slightly bitter, which was rather intoxicating.
“About the Repulsive and Gravitational Forces Sorcery, you aren’t able to guide the power from nature as a student. What you can pull off, however, is to harness the forces using yourself as the point of origin, thus forming an effective attack or defense. Once becoming a sorcerer by ans of this Geocentric stone and the ley line, the two forces will be controlled at your will.”
Norris sipped at the Ilex tea with his dry lips and savored its bitterness.
When Glenn was done with his notes, he asked bitterly, “When this Geocentric stone is transplanted into my body, will my skin be split? And the damage to the skin will be irreparably fixed?”
Glenn had inquired about the exactly similar question three tis.
When the stone was lodged into soone’s body, the host’s skin would bear semblance to Norris’. They split and fell off! Therefore, the skin had to be sutured back , thus resembling a shabbily sead-up bag or ball.
“Humph! No pains, no gains!” Sorcerers were intent on seeking the truth! Their appearance ca quite the secondary.
Norris seed a little miffed at Glenn’s reactions, and he snorted.
“There! There...”
At this ti, Garfield had jumped around Norris, licked its claws and afterward kept laughing.
“Young sorcerers do care for their appearances since they haven’t undergone years of baptism yet. I think you should get Glenn to start off with the Endless Eyes. His looks won’t change much.”
Norris grunted, and then threw the Geocentric stone to Glenn, saying unhappily, “It’s your decision to make.”
That being said, Norris left the laboratory.
Glenn himself was fine with a revolting exterior if it would an further knowledge and power, but he had to take into account Lafite’s feelings about this.
“Shall I go with the Repulsive and Gravitational Forces Sorcery, and the Geocentric stone?”
It was really a tough choice for Glenn to make. Since his ntor, a level three sorcerer, was still suffering from his damaged skin permanently, then the side effect would certainly be real. Even with the Glenn Dissimilation Sorcery, the ruined skin could rely be concealed on a temporary basis.
“Oh! He’s getting angry. Glenn, you take care!”
The black cat cocked his butt and tail, stretched itself and jumped away.
In Glenn’s hand was a black stone covered with prickles. He studied it while running his fingers through his hair, with a terrible look.
What troubled Glenn was that he knew he would beco upset if it was Lafite who would be disfigured.
“Take it off your mind for a mont. Why not delve into this sorcery further before making the final decision? Maybe it can be solved in so way. Besides, to figure out the calculations in order to wield the forces of repulsion and attraction would take at least six months. It’s really a brain-boggling sorcery.”
Therefore, Glenn set aside this “nuisance” and focused his research on Fire Elent Density Fire Shield Sorcery, alchemy, and also the passive evolution using his ten magic wands. Besides, he was also using the toxic radioactive stone more frequently, from a monthly basis to 1.5 months to two months. As his constitution and the anti-toxic property was enhancing rapidly, he had to inject so more potent potions.
Half a year later.
In Norris’ library, Glenn was sitting around, looking over books. Suddenly, an idea sparked into existence to him when he dwelled his eyes on a particular book!
It was called, Discussion on Classification of Blood in chanicals, a rudintary book on chanical engineering. It contained so creative insights, so Norris had collected it in the shelves.
In fact, Glenn was not that much fond of digging into chanics. It was not that chanics was not sufficiently powerful, but that he was just not sensitive to knowledge related to gears, energy conversion and applications, so he mostly ignored such type of books.
However, Glenn had been pestered by Norris with his request to ask Glenn to go for the possibly appearance-disfiguring sorcery, so he had started seriously considering on working on it. And this book he was reading gave him an inspiration.
Sorcerers on chanics had a chanical body, and another distinction that separated them from elent sorcerers was the purification of artificial blood. The basic gist of which was to convert the practitioner’s blood into man-made blood to fit into the chanically-powered transmission, creating kinetic energy.
The reason why the Geocentric stone was required to be implanted in the practitioner’s body was for the balance between attractive force and repulsive force. The role that the stone would have in the process was to serve as a “point of origin” with fixed coordinates—the central part of the body—to achieve that balance. The sorcery would then be generated after a series of calculations had been conducted.
Based on the book, Glenn had discovered that skin would drop only because they carried uneven weight and the reason was that a human body was not a sphere, and thus didn’t have an actual center. Therefore, the alternately functioning attractive force and repulsive force would result in the cracking of the skin. So they had to be sead up like what Norris had done.
But now, Glenn had a probable solution.
If the Geocentric stone was ground into powder and mixed with the blood evenly, then the powder would be distributed throughout the body and wouldn’t change the original coordinates.
As a result, the skin would be stressed evenly, and those side effects would not co with the practice.
Glenn beca excited about the idea and told it to Norris after he had trotted to him.
“Well, this sounds feasible, but to add ground Geocentric stone powder to artificial blood... Uh... I’m not quite sure about it since I’m not really into chanics. I’ll visit an old friend of mine to ask whether we can create a neutral liquid or sothing.”
After having said that, Norris left the lab.
Two months later.
Glenn had obtained that liquid as he had wished, and excitent was all over his face.
Norris gave Glenn the liquid and sighed. “If I’ve done more thinking like you did when I was young, then I wouldn’t have to look like this now.”
“You can use this liquid to remove the attractive and repulsive forces, and you might restore your original face by using so advanced repair surgery or sothing.”
Glenn proposed this idea, yet he was not sure how.
Norris shook his head, and said, “After all these years, it has beco a part of .”
Glenn was taken aback at Norris’ response.
Ti passed on.
Every day, Glenn imrsed himself in the endless world of knowledge, and the more knowledge he obtained, the more he felt that his acquisition of it never was enough. His desire for more of it beca stronger.
One year later.
Glenn had finally completed the learning of his fire shield sorcery. After tons of tests, he had developed so vision into it.
First of all, this sorcery was excellent at defending attacks that involved energy.
Due to his Body of Fire and Inextinguishable Fla properties, Glenn currently could absolutely keep off elental attacks below 100 points, and could effectively weaken attacks with over 100 degrees. Glenn did not test out the exact maximum defensive power, but with the help of his Ashen mask, his defense was now perfect.
However, the fire shield’s defense against wind and soil elents was slightly weaker, only at 70 to 80 degrees.
But amazingly, the shield could protect Glenn from 150-degree water elent attacks. However, once a water elent attack ripped its defense, it would cause much more significant damage to him than other elents attacks in the sa situation.
The second discovery about the fire shield concerned its defense against physical attacks. The fire shield could break under a 30-degree physical assault. But as the sorcery was based on the outburst of energy compressed in high concentration within a short period of ti, its counterattack power was at least three tis as much as his normal fire attack power, and the fire could not be put out.
Finally, it was about the inextinguishable attribute.
As ntioned above, the fire shield could work because it was condensed in a split second. Therefore, for most sorcerers, the fire elent would dissipate under that pressure in a while. That didn’t apply to Glenn’s fire shield though because of its inextinguishable attribute, which ant that the magical force consud in the process was very low. Thus, the fire shield could be sustained.
This advantage made fire shield a more powerful sorcery than Glenn’s Ashen mask.
Glenn was excited about this achievent. Furthermore, he could now concentrate more of his energy on Destructive Force of Fire Blast Sorcery, and study on water and radium elents should be put on higher agenda.
“I’ll crack on them after this mandatory task is over.” Glenn set his arrangent in his mind.
Suddenly, Glenn’s crystal ball received so soul information.
“Robinson, what’s up? You’re not gonna gossip with through this, right?”
Glenn put down the semi-finished product (made through the magic of alchemy) in his hand, and joked to Robinson.
Glenn great mood was noticeable, because the sorcery of Repulsive and Gravitational forces had made initial progress, and other experintal studies had been progressing steadily, especially alchemy.
Soon, Glenn realized that sothing was wrong. Robinson seed quite serious.
“What’s going on? Say sothing!” Glenn beca irritated by Robinson’s hesitation.
Finally, Robinson replied, “Lafite just ca back from the area and she was hurt!”
Glenn’s face beca dark. Injury was not a big deal for sorcerers. But he could tell from Robinson’s anxious face that she had been injured seriously.
“Who did that to her?” Glenn sounded cold. All of his gaiety resulting from his research progress had been erased.
“It was Bionna!” Slowly, Robinson said it.
