Chapter 31: First Rescue Mission!
Ling Yi didn’t dwell on this question for long before letting it go. It didn’t matter. What mattered was that he now had an S-rank Rescue skill! Excitedly, he opened his character panel to check the skill details. [Elemental Spirit Blade (S)]: Allows the user to create various types of energy weapons—such as swords, blades, and staffs—at will. These energy weapons are composed of the element the user is most attuned to and can be applied to actual weapons. “Composed of the element the user is most attuned to?” Upon reading this, Ling Yi sighed, looking slightly disappointed. “I thought I could just choose whatever element I wanted.” But because of this, a hint of curiosity quietly arose in his heart. What was the element he was most suited for? Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light, and Darkness—these were the ten elements he had just seen in others’ replies. Different elements have different effects and powers. The Metal element is hard and sharp; the Wood element enhances vitality; the Water element flows and penetrates; the Fire element ignites and burns; the Earth element is heavy and crushing. The Wind element is swift and carries a forceful impact; the Thunder element is fierce and causes numbness; the Ice element slows and freezes. The Light element emits light waves suitable for offense; the Darkness element absorbs damage and is suitable for defense. Each of these ten elements has its own unique characteristics. But no matter which one he ultimately obtained, an S-rank Elemental Spirit Blade was still an S-rank Elemental Spirit Blade, and its power would be no less formidable. Therefore, when it came time to actually use this skill, Ling Yi felt quite at ease. “Elemental Spirit Blade!” He gave a soft shout, simultaneously visualizing a long sword in his mind. Immediately, under his gaze, tiny bright white specks of light materialized in the air before him and, within just two or three seconds, rapidly coalesced into the shape of a long sword. A moment later, a long sword of light, composed of bright white radiance, had taken form. “The Light Element!?” Ling Yi raised an eyebrow, his expression relatively calm. The sword hovered before him, blade pointing upward and hilt pointing downward. As he reached out to grasp the hilt, a blaze of bright, blinding red-orange flame suddenly erupted from the hilt toward the blade, making Ling Yi’s face feel scorching hot. “Huh!? This...” Ling Yi’s eyes widened as he stared in utter astonishment at the raging flames right before him, momentarily dazed. Wasn’t he a Light Elementalist? What was going on with this flame? Could it be that both Light and Fire were the elements he was most attuned to? Were they tied for first place? He tried swinging the flaming lightsaber; with every swing, it made a “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” sound, like the swishing of a torch. It felt amazing in his hand. As he swung it, the wind carried the flames along the blade backward, and tiny, sparkling sparks rained out from the flames, drifting in the air for a moment before fading away. “I won’t say whether it’s powerful or not, but it sure looks cool.” Ling Yi couldn’t put it down, swinging it back and forth with a big smile on his face. With no enemies around, he couldn’t test the flame lightsaber’s true power, so after playing with it for a while, he had no choice but to sheathe it. Sitting back down in the chair by his desk, Ling Yi opened the “Support” section of the forum and began searching for allies. On the right side of this section was a column labeled “Recommended Support Partners.” Below were all the players with whom Ling Yi, currently at Level 13, could apply for a support partnership. Their levels ranged from the teens to the twenties, with the highest not exceeding 23. Of course, since support partnerships were limited to players of the same gender the entire list consisted of female players. Recommended Support Partners 1. Miao Yin Tian (Lv18) Can provide: 60 Mana, Spatial Leap (C) Requirements: Someone who can provide Mana, preferably with a healing support skill. If you meet these requirements, please send me a private message.
