Chapter 886 -615: Mastery of All Spells_3 It was only good for adding finishing moves. In head-on battles, the power of the Fireball Technique had reached a bottleneck, with no significant threat any longer. Especially since future opponents were not to be trifled with. “I can’t learn Swordsmanship yet, I need to figure out a way to learn some more powerful spells…” Mo Hua thought to himself silently. After a Daoist Skill class, Mo Hua went to earnestly seek advice from the Sect Elder who taught Daoist Skills. The Elder of Daoist Law was middle-aged, slightly overweight, and had a deep impression of Mo Hua. After all, disciples with Mid-Lower Grade Spiritual Roots were few and far between in Taixu Gate over the years. Especially in the recent decades, there had hardly been any disciples with Mid-Grade Spiritual Roots. Mo Hua was the only one. Moreover, Elder Master Xun’s partiality towards Mo Hua was evident to all the other Elders, so despite Mo Hua’s inferior Spiritual Root, they dared not treat him with the slightest contempt. “Elder, is there any powerful spell I can learn?” Mo Hua tentatively asked. The Elder of Daoist Law looked at Mo Hua, pondering for a long time, unsure whether to speak or not. With a resigned face, Mo Hua said, “Elder, please speak your mind…” The Elder of Daoist Law coughed and put it gently, “You must be aware that the more powerful the spell, the more demanding the conditions…” “Firstly, there’s the Grade of the Spiritual Root…” “Some powerful spells require a Top-Grade, or even top top-grade Spiritual Root to learn and utilize…” “Without a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, not cultivating Top-Grade techniques, with a meager Qi Sea and feeble Spiritual Power, it’s impossible to wield such high-powered spells.” The Elder of Daoist Law gave Mo Hua a look that said, you know what grade your Spiritual Root is and what techniques you can cultivate; there’s no need for me to elaborate. “Besides, there’s the attribute of the Spiritual Root,” the Elder of Daoist Law continued, “Some spells require special attributes of the Spiritual Root like thunder, ice, wind, and others such as pure metal, yin wood, heavy water, to maximize their power.” “Yours… hmm…” The Elder of Daoist Law paused, somewhat embarrassed, “Small Five Elements Spirit Root is a bit of everything, but not strong in anything…” “So, the spells you can learn tend to be more ‘Median’…” The Elder of Daoist Law’s wording was tactful, saying “Median” instead of directly calling them “commonplace.” “Such spells are unlikely to be very powerful…” said the Elder of Daoist Law in a soft voice. The implication was clear: it was hopeless. Mo Hua’s expression became a bit despondent. The Elder of Daoist Law couldn’t bear to see this and thought for a moment before saying, “But, the approach you’ve taken with your spells thus far has been astute…” “Not relying on power to prevail but on speed for victory, striking quickly and accurately can indeed lead to a surprise victory.” “Besides, your Fireball Technique is very refined, and its power is indeed not too shabby, but unfortunately, the Fireball Technique is still just that, and its limit is set…” The Elder of Daoist Law felt a sense of regret. Mo Hua was also aware. His Fireball Technique was already strong, but when compared to the talents from Qian State, or those with Superior Techniques passed down through generations in clans, it was still lacking. Even though he could strike first, there were situations that called for overwhelming power, and relying solely on the Fireball Technique was insufficient. Formations were powerful, but they consumed Spirit Stones and Spiritual Ink and required a fair bit of thought and tactics, not as straightforward as spells. Mo Hua then asked for advice: “Elder, what do you think I should focus on learning for my future spells?” The Elder of Daoist Law pondered for a moment before slowly replying, “Actually, I shouldn’t be telling you this, given that the Sect’s examination rules are what they are…” “It’s not just Taixu Gate. Throughout the entire Qian Xue State Boundary, all sects value the Grade of spells, abiding by the principle ‘Overpower with Single force’, using the most solid spiritual power to unleash Superior Techniques, killing with one move, overpowering everything!” “Daoist Skill examinations also follow this rule.” “But you are different…” “Since your Spiritual Power is weak, you might as well learn more low-level techniques that consume less Spiritual Power, that are quick to cast, and have a strong utility, encompassing all Five Elements.” “Spiritual Power has its interactions, and so do spells.” “The more spells you master, the more moves you have. A quick hand can take the enemy by surprise.” “And some spells might seem low-level, but it’s just their power that’s considered low, not their usefulness.” “Some spells are subtle in their casting, some have a myriad of changes, and some are hard to guard against…” “The Five Elements flow; Mastery of All Spells can be achieved.” “Even if you only know lower-tier spells, you can win with quantity, spell after spell, putting your opponent on the back foot.” “Of course, you must first break through your opponent’s ‘Golden Body Technique’, and then it’s better to use spells to suppress them…” Mo Hua’s eyes gradually brightened. Spell Master! Understanding the Five Elements, mastering a myriad of spells, a never-ending flow of Spiritual Power, and an infinite cycle of spells. If he could also manifest the “Five Elements Source Formation” at his feet, reinforcing the Five Elements, amplifying his spells, then he would be a ‘Spell’ artillery! With just low-level spells, he could “pile” his opponents to death. “But…” Mo Hua asked again, “Do I have to learn all Five Elements Spells? Can I just focus on the Fireball Technique?” Even if he learned spells, the Fireball Technique was likely to be the strongest. The Elder of Daoist Law said, “It’s not just about power. Some spells, with their functionality, are irreplaceable.” “Like if someone has boosted themselves with the Golden Body Technique, your Fireball Technique’s power will significantly diminish, but if you use the Golden Blade Technique, though not very powerful, it would reduce the duration of their Golden Body Technique…”
