Chapter 28: Mutation Strange Art — Darkness Fire
Vibranium is an incomparably precious metal, and its value is very high.
When Vibranium appeared here, a group of students gathered around.
"Qin Susu, you actually found such a large piece of Vibranium!" someone said with envy.
Another person asked, "Qin Susu, how many points do you want to sell it for?"
Ye Tian also looked at this somewhat cold-looking beauty, waiting for her to give a price to see if he could afford it.
However, Qin Susu said, "I don't want points; I only trade in kind. Either an A-Grade Strange Art, Resuscitation Technique, or an A-Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, the Saint Heart Fruit—I will trade for either one!"
"Qin Susu, the Saint Heart Fruit is a supreme treasure for healing that can reshape the physical body; a piece of Vibranium like yours is still worth a bit less," someone said.
"If it's not enough, I can compensate with points, but can you even produce a Saint Heart Fruit?" Qin Susu said in a deep voice.
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, they could not produce a Saint Heart Fruit.
Even if someone could produce a Saint Heart Fruit, they wouldn't trade it; after all, Vibranium was useless to them, but the Saint Heart Fruit was useful!
"What is the Resuscitation Technique?"
Ye Tian asked curiously from the side.
A senior student explained, "The Resuscitation Technique is a Five Elements Mutation Strange Art that combines the Wood Element and Water Element. It belongs to the A-Grade Strange Art category. Its characteristic is to make flesh and blood recover; for example, if an arm or leg is severed, using the Resuscitation Technique can make the flesh and blood recover and grow back. However, this Resuscitation Technique is very rare; it might not even exist in our Donghai City. Qin Susu has been collecting the Resuscitation Technique for a long time and has never been able to obtain it."
"Can't our Donghai University collect the Resuscitation Technique?" Ye Tian asked.
That person smiled and said, "If the school's top brass were willing to collect it, they certainly could, but why should the school help a student just because they want something? If teachers went to find whatever a student wanted, then if you wanted this today and he wanted that tomorrow, how would the school continue to operate? No matter which university it is, they all require you to work hard yourself; if you lack something, find it yourself. The school is not a nanny!"
Ye Tian did not continue to ask, and he learned from the conversations of others that Qin Susu's younger brother had his legs severed, so she wanted to restore her brother's legs, which was why she wanted to trade in kind.
But unfortunately, she likely would not get her wish.
Ye Tian also really wanted to obtain this piece of Vibranium; once he obtained this piece of Vibranium, his Metal Talent Ability Potential could be upgraded to A-Grade!
Unfortunately, he could not meet Qin Susu's conditions.
Qin Susu kept running her stall, but after waiting for a while and seeing no one trade, she left.
Donghai University Library.
Ye Tian came here to look up information about Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
Soon, he found the relevant information and began to browse it.
Not long after, he had some understanding of Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
Five Elements Mutation Strange Art is created by some dual-element or triple-element Talented Ability Users to improve their strength; this kind of Five Elements Mutation Strange Art contains the power of two or more Innate Abilities.
For example, the Resuscitation Technique involves Wood Element and Water Element Ability Power.
Five Elements Mutation Strange Art is not necessarily stronger than single-element Strange Art; some Five Elements Mutation Strange Art is created to be very trashy, and whether it is powerful depends on the level of creation.
For instance, the Resuscitation Technique is very heaven-defying; being able to allow someone to have Regeneration Technique is quite exaggerated!
Of course, he did not know if the Resuscitation Technique had any side effects, as he had never seen the Resuscitation Technique.
But there was no doubt that top-tier Five Elements Mutation Strange Art is indeed terrifying, possessing power that other Strange Arts do not have.
However, dual-element and triple-element Talented Ability Users are already rare, so the Five Elements Mutation Strange Art created is very scarce, and major forces will not sell Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
But at this moment, Ye Tian was very interested in Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
He had many Innate Abilities; if he could create Five Elements Mutation Strange Art, he could definitely significantly improve his strength.
Over the next few days, he searched for detailed information on Five Elements Mutation Strange Art in the library, and some of the information recounted the experience of creating Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
Gradually, he gained some insights into creating Five Elements Mutation Strange Art, but he was still a long way from truly creating one.
"Creating Strange Art requires comprehension, and creating Five Elements Mutation Strange Art requires even more comprehension. Perhaps I can use the Enlightenment Technique to improve my comprehension before coming back to create Five Elements Mutation Strange Art!"
Ye Tian had already planned to start creating Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
His most powerful Strange Art now was the Dark Element, and he decided to combine the Dark Element with another type of Ability Power. What kind of Ability Power could the Dark Element be combined with?
"The Fire Element, perhaps!"
Ye Tian decided.
Thus, he began to activate the Enlightenment Technique to make his comprehension skyrocket many times over, then began to study the fusion of the Dark Element and the Fire Element to create Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
In order to be able to create Five Elements Mutation Strange Art, he bought many Five Elements Material to use for restoring his Innate Ability Potential.
Just like that, day after day passed.
While other freshmen were busy earning points, Ye Tian was here creating Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu and the others, with the help of their families or forces behind them, took on one mission after another to continuously earn points and challenge for the Newcomer King title, but it was still difficult to surpass Ye Tian's point total in the short term.
Ten days passed.
Ye Tian had already been creating for ten full days.
Finally, from nothing, he created his first Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
Hum!
A ball of black flames appeared on Ye Tian's hand, its terrifying temperature causing the surrounding air to begin to distort.
"Darkness Fire!"
Ye Tian directly set the name for this Five Elements Mutation Strange Art.
This Five Elements Mutation Strange Art, Darkness Fire, reached the level of a B-grade Ability, but its power was far more terrifying than top-tier B-grade Ability, and this Darkness Fire was not just simply high in temperature; it also had the effects of eroding the physical body and being difficult to extinguish.
If used in conjunction with the Darkness Curtain, it would be enough to push the power of Darkness Fire to the limit.
Soon, Ye Tian also discovered that continuously practicing Darkness Fire allowed for rapid improvement in cultivation speed, no less than the effect of practicing the Darkness Curtain.
"This is only a dual-element Five Elements Mutation Strange Art. If I could combine the five types of Ability Power—Metal, Wood, Water, Earth, and Fire—to create a Five Elements Mutation Strange Art, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?" Ye Tian thought.
But thinking about how he had wasted ten days just to create Darkness Fire, if he were to create a Five Elements Mutation Strange Art, it might not even succeed in a few months.
His current cultivation level was still relatively low, so he would not do that for the time being.
"Let's see how many points the other freshmen have."
Ye Tian opened the Donghai University forum, where someone had been keeping track of everyone's points.
He was still in first place.
【Qin Yu: 3960 points】
"Damn, is Qin Yu cheating? How did he get so many points? Didn't he only have a little over a thousand points before?"
Ye Tian was very surprised.
When he looked it up, he understood what was going on.
Qin Yu had completed a mission worth 1000 points, which was to kill a criminal who was an Ability Master, and an Advanced Ability Master criminal at that.
"If Qin Yu could kill an Advanced Ability Master, he wouldn't have only cleared the seventh floor. It's obvious that Qin Yu's elders found that criminal, beat them into a serious injury, and then let Qin Yu finish them off."
Ye Tian guessed.
Yet this was a reasonable method, and Donghai University could find no fault with it.
The point growth rate of several others was also very fast; clearly, they were all using various means to increase their points.
At this rate, they really had a chance to catch up to him.
"No rush. Within the three-month freshman period, I can definitely clear the tenth floor of the Battle Tower. By then, I'll receive ten thousand points; how could they possibly catch up?" Ye Tian said with a smile.
Furthermore, he planned to go and clear the tenth floor of the Battle Tower on the very last day.
That way, no matter how they cheated, they wouldn't be able to surpass him.
