Ark Undead

Flames are raging and always filled with rage. Therefore, Tianhuo never thought of having complete control over them.

Instead, they rely on their own techniques and Originium Arts to guide the generation and shaping of the flames.

This is fundamentally different from control.

Her Originium Arts are about guiding the omnipresent flames, drawing them out of the endless void, and bringing them into the present world.

Legend has it that Miss Skyfire can summon meteorites from the sky to the ground, unleashing a raging inferno upon her enemies.

This is also a way to guide the flame and shape it.

Otherwise, how could a meteorite not leave behind a rock after it hit the ground?

If that were true, Tianhuo would have long been the most sought-after sorcerer among astrophysicists.

"Your flames..."

Skyfire noticed the strangeness of the flame in the Undead's hand.

Curious, she moved closer, reaching into the immortal's hand and extending her right hand.

The closer one gets to the flames in the Undead's hand, the more Heavenly Fire can feel the warmth contained within them.

This is completely different from the fire magic she uses.

"This is the fire of incantation."

The Undead spoke softly, and the flames in his hands surged and expanded once more.

No matter how much the flames in the Undead's hands expanded, they remained golden with a hint of red, and no excess heat leaked out, maintaining a stable level that made the surrounding area feel warm.

Tianhuo looked at the flame in the Undead's hand, which had grown to almost the size of a basketball, with slight shock. She then rekindled the flame in her own hand.

In comparison, the subtleties become even more apparent.

The gentle flames are like a puppy in the hands of the Undead, but in the hands of the Heavenly Fire, they are as fierce as a beast.

"You're amazing, your teacher is amazing."

Skyfire expressed her admiration for the flame in the Undead's hand, and also showed curiosity about its gentle nature.

"How did you do that? How did you make the flame so stable, as if... you yourself originated from the same source as the flame?"

Tianhuo subconsciously voiced her feelings, unaware that her words had, to some extent, revealed the secret of the immortals.

The Undead looked at Tianhuo, and the fervor and obsession in Tianhuo's eyes were undeniable; she had simply spoken her thoughts unconsciously.

Then, the Undead waved his hand gently, the flames in his hand dissipating, and also pulling Tianhuo's thoughts back from the flames.

"Hmm... as an infected person, having such fire control ability isn't unacceptable. But your fire..."

Tianhuo pondered for a long time, but still couldn't give himself a satisfactory answer.

The Undead's current performance made Tianhuo realize that his assistant's mastery of fire magic might not be inferior to hers.

After all, such a gentle and restrained flame is not something everyone can master. To date, only three people have been seen by Tianhuo who have achieved such mastery of Originium magic, and two of them have passed away, leaving only one still alive.

However, most of them only specialize in how to control fire, and no one has put much effort into the application of fire magic.

This is the biggest difference between Tianhuo and those masters.

Others research Originium magic itself. Skyfire, however, researches how to use Originium magic more effectively and apply it to daily life and combat.

"Miss Skyfire, it's time to conduct the experiment."

The Undead gave a low reminder, and Heavenly Fire was immediately jolted out of his obsession with flames and various calculations.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Undying, let's go. Let's continue the experiment."

As he spoke, Tianhuo jumped up from the sofa, hurriedly put on his protective suit, and went downstairs to conduct the staff experiment.

To gain the respect of scholars, all you need to do is produce relevant research results.

Unbeknownst to many, the way the Heavenly Fire referred to the Undead had changed; now it was called the Scholar.

100. The dissipating flames

After their break, the two returned to the lab to begin Skyfire's final experiment of the day.

The row of staffs made by Tianhuo were all waiting for Tianhuo to test their strength one by one.

The staff, forged by the Heavenly Fire with a special solution, is vastly different from many other staffs used outside.

Normal staves are equipped with Originium. While serving as a conduit, the stave itself can also act as an Originium energy source, supplying a portion of the energy as part of the spell.

However, the problem is that since there is only one Originium, and the staff itself is a triggering device, the larger the staff, the more circuits can be engraved, and the better the conductivity.

However, an excessively large staff also presents a problem: energy loss.

Regardless of which part of the staff you hold, an excessively long conductive staff will experience some degree of energy loss. Even with excellent conductivity, this problem is unavoidable.

However, shrinking the staff presents another problem: insufficient space to design energy circuits and reduced stability. This can easily lead to spellcasting failures due to insufficient space and energy circuits.

That makes sense, really; the bigger the staff, the more it can do.

Just like in the game, the magical attack power added by two-handed staves and one-handed staves is different.

However, this is definitely not the proper explanation; it's just a more general way of putting it.

What Skyfire did was to mix stable Originium with other conductive materials through heating and other methods to create a special liquid Originium solution.

Meanwhile, by hollowing out the inside of the staff in a certain pattern and then pouring in heated Originium solution, you can obtain a staff whose main branch of the energy circuit is made of Originium.

In this way, no matter how small the energy circuit is, it will be connected to the main branch. That is to say, each small energy circuit is not connected to another energy circuit, but to the Originium itself.

Theoretically, this could solve the problem of energy circuit conductivity, but experiments are still needed.

Furthermore, given the unstable nature of Originium, how much Originium solution is needed, and what is the correct ratio?

These are all things that Tianhuo needs to test himself.

So, Tianhuo picked up the five staffs and went down to the next level.

"This is the testing ground. Come down here."

Tianhu shook his head, signaling the Undead to go down another level.

"I'll do it."

The Undead took the five Origin Stone Staffs from Skyfire, which relieved Skyfire.

The two went down a flight of stairs from basement level one to basement level two.

After Tianhuo opened a specially made iron door, she pulled down the switch hidden in the wall next to it.

The dazzling lights immediately caused the Undead to squint.

This is a small testing ground of about 200 cubic meters and about 10 meters high. It's not large, but it's perfectly adequate for general Originium Arts testing.

"The walls here have been specially reinforced and have the ability to weaken and absorb Originium Arts, so there's no need to worry about accidents. Even if an accident does occur, it won't affect anyone else."

Tianhuo paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then added a sentence.

"At most, it might make people nearby feel like there was an earthquake; it's nothing serious."

Oh, so an earthquake isn't a big deal? You know, earthquakes are, in a sense, a precursor to natural disasters!

Ignoring the silent undead, Skyfire found the staff he had initially made, numbered one, among the five staffs the undead had placed on the table.

She then picked up a small notebook and a pen from the side.

"Come this way, Mr. Undead."

The Undead obediently walked over, and Tianhuo handed the notebook and pen to the Undead.

"This control panel is for operating the target. Pressing different buttons will cause different types of targets to rise up from a distance, setting up different targets according to my instructions, while recording the data displayed on the screen next to it."

Tianhuo raised his head and looked at the face covered by the mask.

"Do you understand?"

"Probably, I understand."

Even the Undead wasn't entirely sure. He stared at the control panel for a while and felt he had a general idea.

"Very good, just get the general idea, it's not a complicated instrument."

Skyfire waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about, and then took the Originium Staff numbered one and went to the test area.

The Undead opened his notebook and picked up a pen, ready to take notes.

"The first material's target, the green button."

After preparing the fire, she called out to the undead beside her.

"Press the button!"

The immortal looked down and saw a green button, which he pressed.

In the distance, a target that looked like a person stood up from the ground, about ten meters away from Tianhuo.

Skyfire raised his staff and, without activating his Originium Arts, began to sense the energy flow within it and guided the energy to inscribe a spell.

A skilled sorcerer's use of Originium magic is undoubtedly an art.

And Tianhuo performed this so-called art very well.

The Undead simply raised his hand slightly, and a fireball about the size of a fist floated in front of him.

Tianhuo pointed his staff forward, and the fireball flew precisely towards the target.

It wasn't fast, but even from this distance, people could feel the heat it emitted.

It's obvious without even looking that this fireball is radiating energy far too much.

Although it hit the target accurately, its speed and energy retention were extremely low.

On the screen next to the control panel in front of the Undead, a series of data appeared.

He raised his hand, wrote down the data, and then looked up at it.
