Chapter 24: 23. Elemental Arrow

23. Elemental Arrow

Anyway, taking a profession had no cost. Li Ang selected Shaman in the profession panel.

The moment he took it, some knowledge about communicating with elemental spirits appeared in his brain. He knew most of it; he just learned the prayer chants now.

In the past, he had always driven elemental spirits by relying on magic power and spellcasting materials after communication. Now, there was an additional path of prayer.

Could a Shaman carry over curse master experience?

Following Li Ang's thought, the system provided an operable panel. He clicked the carry-over key. Instantly, he saw the Shaman panel jump violently, rising directly to Rank 4, and he learned a whole bunch of skills all at once.

He looked at Zoe: "Come, follow what I say and try it."

Li Ang guided her to sit on a flat rock and told her the method of communicating with the Earth Spirit.

"Relax, breathe deeply, enter a meditative state where consciousness is detached but can still think. Don't be in a hurry, feel it slowly..."

Before Li Ang finished speaking, the young girl entered a meditative state in front of him.

He couldn't believe it, wondering if she had fallen asleep. At this time, she opened her eyes again, waiting for his next guidance.

"Good, then touch the ground, project your consciousness onto it, try to imagine yourself merging with the earth, and when you can clearly 'see' some slow and heavy people in your heart, try to talk to them. Of course, they aren't people; they are Earth Element spirits. Find the feeling slowly."

Zoe closed her eyes to find the feeling, while Li Ang looked at his own panel.

【Cultivated Profession: Shaman】

【Rank: 4. Next Rank: 0/2000 experience】

【Obtained Rank 1 Shaman Skill: Elemental Affinity, Elemental Arrow】

【Obtained Rank 2 Shaman Skill: Elemental Shock】

【Obtained Rank 3 Shaman Skill: Lightning Arrow, Healing Water Wave】

【Obtained Rank 4 Shaman Skill: Elemental Shield, Elemental Summoning】

Li Ang digested the specific skill effects for a while. He was quite happy to finally learn conventional spells.

Besides elemental spells, there were also lightning and healing spells, both of which were manifestations of the Shaman's ability to communicate with nature spirits.

Ranks 4–6 belonged to the Transcendent Realm. A Shaman of this rank began not to drive elemental power by prayer, but because of years of cooperation, had a certain degree of control.

Explaining it from another angle, they were old partners who didn't need to go through the motions of polite greetings every time.

This was a great thing for Li Ang. He was used to driving elemental spirits; asking him to pray made him feel very awkward.

However, relying on the Rank 4 Shaman promoted by the system, he didn't learn the profession's Profound Meaning.

The so-called Profound Meaning was a way of calling it; it could also be called a big move or a finishing move. In short, it was a method for a person to maximize their own power.

Li Ang had also seen people who activated Profound Meaning by relying on summoned beasts, energy sources, and treasures; they often needed extraordinary backgrounds.

He had no understanding of the Shaman profession, so it was normal not to know the profession's Profound Meaning. Anyway, learning it was just a transition.

Besides skills, he also felt that his magic power reserve had increased slightly, but the change wasn't big.

Along with a spellcaster's improvement in spell understanding and magic power control, energy would grow, and with the same energy, the total amount of atmospheric magic power that could be mobilized would also increase. These together determined the magic power reserve.

Li Ang's curse master profession had already reached Rank 9. Going further was the Rank 10 Legendary Realm, which was also the upper limit set by the world's rules, so the growth of his magic power reserve had basically reached its end.

As a human without a special bloodline, his magic power reserve was already considered above average. Without an energy source brought with him at birth, most races were about the same as him.

It seemed there was no such good thing as increasing the magic power reserve twice by relying on the system; he still had to get an energy source as soon as possible.

Next, Li Ang summoned a group of Earth Elements in his hand and was about to try the spell, but Zoe was talking to him from the side.

"I feel them saying hello to me."

"?"

Li Ang spent a few seconds refraining from questioning whether the young girl was joking.

Li Ang had spent less than a minute operating the profession panel in total, and she sensed it already?

"Then ask them if they can lend their power to you? Just think about it in your heart.

"When you feel the power they send, mobilize your magic power to catch it, and rely on your imagination to shape it into the shape of an arrow, like this."

Li Ang operated his magic power and unleashed Elemental Arrow—Earth Element. In his palm, the floating dirt and dust flew rapidly to condense, appearing as a shuttle-shaped rock arrow.

It was sharp and hard. If there wasn't enough defensive strength, taking a hit would still be very painful.

Zoe was a Swordsman, but she could cultivate to Rank 2, so she should have a certain degree of control over magic power.

Li Ang was still thinking, when he saw Zoe raise her hand, and an Earth Element arrow twice as long as Li Ang's condensed in her palm.

The spellcasting talent she displayed could be called monstrous.

Li Ang didn't think she was born with this; otherwise, even if no one taught her, after accumulating over time, she would have known how to use Earth Element magic like an instinct. Such examples appeared from time to time in the vast airspace.

This was the influence of the Star Soul; it could almost be confirmed.

"Next, tell the Earth Element spirits to use their power to strike the target."

After Li Ang finished saying this to the young girl, he first threw out his Earth Element arrow.

The sharp rock shuttle hit a huge boulder in front, nailed deeply into the surface, and exploded into countless fragments, leaving a circle of spiderweb-like cracks on the boulder.

"Hey!"

Zoe waved her palm excitedly. Her Earth Element arrow followed closely, but the momentum was more than twice as strong, directly piercing through the boulder and exploding. Stones flew, and it was impossible to distinguish which were the stones brought by her spell and which were naturally occurring stones.

After the scene calmed down, only a dirt pit covered in scattered stones remained where the boulder had been.

Although Li Ang had padded it with one shot first, the power displayed by her spell was truly astonishing.

Li Ang looked at her panel.

【Name: Zoe】

【Race: Unknown】

【Profession: Swordsman, Rank 2. Elemental Spellcaster, route unconfirmed, Rank 1 (+)】

【Skill: Star Soul Greenhouse, Swordsman 【Strong Physique, Morale Boost】, Elemental Spellcaster 【Elemental Affinity, Elemental Arrow—Earth Element】】

She hadn't chosen a specific profession route yet, but because she had learned elemental magic first, it could already be displayed on the panel, and there was even a "+" sign after the profession, which should indicate that she was even more powerful than an ordinary Rank 1 spellcaster.

Staring at this girl for several glances, Li Ang thought to himself: *Don't let it turn out that I become a Swordsman, and she ends up playing with magic instead. *

However, as of today, the doubts about whether Zoe was worthy of being the world's female lead were gone.

First, the Star Soul Greenhouse constitution, which was linked to the mysterious Island King of this world, and could also become stronger because of it.

Second, the profession adaptability brought by the power of the Star Soul. He didn't know about her performance in other professions for the time being, but just the talent as an Elemental Spellcaster was enough to become a powerhouse.

Carrying the ore, the two chatted about elemental theory while returning home.

Li Ang began to smelt the ore, while Zoe was called by him to look for water mist stones.

Let the armor created have the Water Flow Formation skill, which could improve the stability of tomorrow's battle.

If the quantity wasn't enough, they would still have to depart tomorrow.

Why was he in a hurry to go? Li Ang had his considerations.

First of all, he knew too little about the Star Soul, but what could be confirmed was that the complete state of the Star Soul was definitely a super monster of the level of an Island King, which was a super monster whose abilities were basically all at Rank 10, located in its own domain, and whose combat power boost ratio was also huge.

Li Ang perceived through his previous perception of spirits that the Star Soul on Satus Island wasn't very strong. According to the notes, it had just awakened, but he wasn't sure about the growth speed of such an existence.

In team battles in the past, he had encountered monsters that grew temporarily. If there was any negligence, perhaps he would never be able to beat it again.

Secondly, Zoe's safety.

Although the system said that the influence of the soul on her could be defended by blocking the flow of spirits, Li Ang had adventured for many years and knew that no matter how exquisite the spell and defensive mechanism, it would still be broken in the face of crushing power. This was also the rule of the world.

Subjugate as soon as possible to avoid long nights and many dreams.

Or rather, Li Ang wasn't unconfident enough to need excessive caution.

After Zoe returned with a small pile of water mist stones, Li Ang set to work.

"It's really not enough. It doesn't matter; I'll prioritize the armor and helmet; those two are more important."

"Wait a moment."

Zoe turned and ran back to the house, and before long, appeared again holding several pale blue stones.

What she held in her palm were high-quality water mist stones.

The meaning of these pretty stones wasn't that the quality would be much higher, but the girl's heart.

She was full of reluctance, but still put the stones down, pushed them slowly, and piled them with the other water mist stones.

Li Ang smiled at her: "I will definitely do it seriously and let them exert the best effect."

"It doesn't matter," Zoe waved her hand: "We will definitely be able to pick up prettier stones in the future."

Next, he had to measure her body size. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
