Chapter 691: Dragon's Control Method, Anti-Magic Field

It is no wonder Xia Duo's heart is burning with excitement; in the world of Magic, what could be more anticipated than "Magic Immunity + Physical Immunity"?

Longevity and eternity perhaps, but without powerful self-preservation abilities, even if one were truly long-lived and eternal, it would be nothing more than flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water—shattering at a single touch.

If he could truly achieve "Magic Immunity + Physical Immunity," Xia Duo would be so happy he could fly to the heavens.

However, a burst of excitement is enough; after calming down, Xia Duo feels he should not hold too high an expectation, lest the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

It is better to treat it with a normal heart; in any case, the Bloodline Ability is confirmed, and what remains is to discover it, understand it, and Control it.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo simply goes to Niya's Spell Laboratory to conduct research on his own abilities with the help of the environment there.

……

In the field of human body research, Xia Duo is not skilled; he simply conducts experiments according to his past knowledge and experience in a plain manner.

For the physical defense test, he takes out a knife and attempts to cut and stab his skin, starting from light to heavy.

Of course, even for the sake of testing his Bloodline Ability, he does not want to actually hurt himself; a light touch is enough, and he can still grasp this sense of proportion.

It is mainly a qualitative, not a quantitative test.

The experimental result shocks Xia Duo; when the knife approaches his skin, as a slight sense of resistance arises in his heart, the connection between his skin and the Magic Net String undergoes a rapid mutation.

It becomes more regular and rhythmic, as if it were a naturally created Magic Effect.

And manifested on the reality level, the knife is resisted by the skin; a thin layer of invisible Force Field extends from within his body, forcibly holding the knife back.

Xia Duo continues to apply force, and the knife pierces through the Force Field like a hot knife through butter, leaving a very shallow white mark on his skin.

"As expected of an Adamantine Knife capable of piercing dragon skin!"

Xia Duo is not too surprised that the knife can pierce the Force Field; one of the spear or the shield will always fall behind.

At the same time, he also sees that his skin is still very different from dragon skin.

The defense of his skin lies more in this layer of invisible Force Field, while dragon skin itself possesses considerable defense.

The obviously different Touch when he was cutting proves this point.

Of course, Xia Duo does not continue to cut deeper into his skin; that has no great meaning. Even if his skin were not inferior to dragon skin, could he really peel his own skin to make boots!

As for more specific defense tests of this Force Field, he is not prepared to continue in the short term; for one, he is not yet familiar with his Bloodline Ability, so the test cannot be complete, and it will not be too late to test after he is familiar with it.

Another reason is that no matter how strong the defensive effect of this Force Field is, if the day truly comes when he has to use it, it will be too late.

He would rather this Force Field never be used in his entire life than end up in a situation where he has to rely on it to struggle for his life.

After a simple test of physical defense, Xia Duo continues to test his Magic defense ability.

Actually, testing this is very unnecessary, because there is no fixed standard for Magic defense ability, as many damage-dealing Spells are not manifested in the form of energy or elements.

For example, the very common Magic Missile uses an invisible, solid Force Field to impact the target, which can basically be regarded as physical damage.

In this case, Magic resistance in the usual sense will not play much of a role.

There are even many damage-dealing Spells that let the target's own body play a role, such as draining the air around the target, covering the target's mouth and nose, or banishing the target to the sky, the deep sea, or even an Other Plane.

Can there be normal Magic defense in such a situation?

After all, the Spell does not act directly on the target, but changes the environment, changes the space, and creates special circumstances to cause damage.

The reason Xia Duo still wants to continue testing is that he is wondering if Magic immunity will manifest in the form of Spell Breaking.

Spell Breaking is a broad category; basically, anything related to destroying the integrity or persistence of Magic can be called "Spell Breaking."

The most typical is Dispel Magic, which performs "Spell Breaking" from the root by forcibly creating a Magic Suppression Field to smooth out the Magic Net String in the area where the Spell occurs.

Others, such as Spell Counter during real-time combat, can also be regarded as Spell Breaking, although it is just a way of Spell confrontation, not a specific Spell.

Even deeper is the famous Anti-Magic Field, which is similar to the Magic Suppression Field of Dispel Magic, but it is more thorough; it not only completely smooths out the Magic Net, but even the energy flowing within it will fall into stagnation.

In Xia Duo's view, only such an ability can be considered Magic immunity; otherwise, just relying on hard resistance is not Magic immunity, but merely having thick skin and flesh.

The specific test is also very simple; Xia Duo summons a mass of fire elements in a diffused state; if it were compressed and supplemented with an Elemental Burst effect, it would be a Fireball.

A Fireball itself can be dispelled and countered, but the effect after a Fireball explodes cannot be dispelled; after all, that is just a momentary Elemental Burst, which in essence is normal fire and has nothing to do with Magic.

Xia Duo is not a masochist, so of course he cannot use a Fireball to test himself; he just simply summons a mass of fire elements in a diffused state.

If no processing is done, they will eventually dissipate in the confrontation with the normal environment of the Main Plane, or merge back into the Magic Net; in short, it is impossible for them to exist stably.

Their appearance does not bring much trouble to Xia Duo; in their diffused state, they only slightly raise the ambient temperature of the surroundings.

Xia Duo reaches his hand into this mass of fire elements; the Touch is one of Void, and only a faint warmth reminds him that the place where he put his hand is a mass of fire elements.

This performance is not surprising; even if an ordinary person were to reach their hand in, there would be no harm.

Perhaps this is what is called elemental resistance, but this is not Xia Duo's goal.

Speaking of which, he does not have the ability to directly Control fire elements; the basis for the existence of this mass of fire elements is Xia Duo's Spell, and when he tries to imitate the sense of resistance from the previous knife-cutting experiment, the situation suddenly changes—

The mass of diffused fire elements, which had been existing relatively stably just a moment ago, suddenly disappears without a trace; the foundation of their existence has been destroyed!

Under the contrast of physical sensation, Xia Duo even feels his hand is a bit cold, but at this moment he can no longer care about any physical sensation.

He quickly takes off the Focus Ring he is wearing on his hand, holds it in his palm, and at the same time constantly tries to Control the invisible Force Field on his body surface to appear again.

The new ability is not very easy to Control, especially when not encountering a real threat, but Xia Duo still overcomes these small problems very quickly.

A moment later, in his Magic Vision, he discovers that the Magic Net String condensed on the Focus Ring has been forcibly opened, which means this Magic Item has become ineffective.

He cannot help but feel a joy in his heart, but with this distraction, the Force Field disappears again, and the Magic Net String on the ring quickly and automatically weaves into an exquisite and complex structure until it returns to its original state.

"It seems this new ability cannot truly destroy Magic Items, but only temporarily suppresses the Magic."

This actually makes Xia Duo heave a sigh of relief; being able to destroy Magic Items is good, of course, but if it were his own, it would not be good, or at least it would be inconvenient.

He currently has multiple Magic Items on his person at all times; if these things could be destroyed at any time, that would be a waste of labor and money.

Moreover, in his vision, Magic Items will definitely become quite popular in the future; if he were to become a human-flesh destruction machine, he does not know how much more wasted money he would have to spend in the new era!

The current situation is very good—moderate but not excessive—which exactly fits Xia Duo's philosophy.
