Chapter 2114 Split Empty Palm
Ever since the unpleasant meeting with Herrell, Adams, and Miranda, Joan has lost interest in the true and false news on the radio and newspapers, and is too lazy to pay attention to the social disturbances outside the study.
The smallpox and massacre in the Vymur Valley, the tragedy of Uncle Logan, the tribal riots and the financial crisis, coupled with the words and deeds of some people—precisely his respected friends and elders for political purposes—disappointed him greatly , Almost destroyed all his beautiful imagination of the human social order, and a world-weary mood quietly grew in his heart.
In order to suppress these negative emotions and fill the emptiness in his heart, Joan locked himself in the "ivory tower" of the campus in the following days.
Since Qiao An came into contact with magic, the first spell he mastered was "Mage Hand". Later, he learned "Strike Palm", "Ghost Palm" and "Thunder Palm", as well as the "Poison Palm" he invented. It is an enhanced version based on "Hand of the Mage".
Now Qiao An has mastered nearly 40 6-ring spells, but unfortunately, he has not found a practical 6-ring "Mage ×× Palm" no matter in the university library or the ancient books in Yunshang City.
It is not impossible to continue to use the 5th ring "Mage Thundering Palm", but for a patient with "obsessive-compulsive disorder" like him, it is hard to let go.
Taking advantage of the rare free time now, Qiao An spent half a month researching with great concentration, and successfully developed a follow-up version that satisfied him, named "Mage's Split Empty Palm".
Level 6 "Mage's Cracking Palm" inherits the basic configuration of this series of spells. The casting time and distance are the same as the previous low-level version. The force field created is similar to the caster's size, and the strength attribute is increased by 12 points.
In addition to these conventional elements, Joan also added more flexible tactical actions to this original spell.
In the previous low-ring version, the force field big hand created was a bit clumsy, and there were only three tactical actions of "boxing", "palm push" and "grasp". No matter which attack mode was adopted, it could only cause "bludgeoning" harm.
The biggest advantage of the "Cracked Palm" is that it is very flexible. It is almost the same as Joan's own palm. In the experiment, he can even manipulate the giant palm to easily achieve precise movements such as "threading a needle". In the previous low-ring version , which is an impossible task.
In addition, the attack methods of "Cracking Palm" have also become more diverse. In addition to "boxing", "palm push" and "grasp", it can also complete "jab", "hand knife", "finger snap", "kneading" ", "Disarm", "Peel off", "Smear", "Draw", "Write" and other more complex and precise operations.
When Qiao An remotely controls the giant palm to act as a "hand knife", the outer edge of the palm can be compressed as thin as a blade according to his will, and with a single palm, it can cut iron like mud, like a huge "horse knife".
And when Qiao An controls the giant to grasp the fist, stretch out the index finger and middle finger that are close together, and perform a stab attack, the fingertips can also become sharp as a cone according to his intention, piercing the steel armor with one blow. In this mode, "Split Empty Palm" is like a sharp spear.
The "Cracking Palm", which has three attack modes of "bludgeoning", "cutting" and "piercing", is equivalent to a magic weapon with three forms and force field attributes. Can kill "incorporeal" and "spiritual" creatures without hindrance.
During the research and development of "Split Empty Palm", the biggest problem Joan encountered was matching the proper casting materials for this spell.
The "Mage × × Palm" series of spells all need to be matched with a spell-casting material closely related to its characteristics.
For example, the "Ghost Palm" uses negative energy and also has the function of "ghost hand" to conduct contact spells, so it needs to be matched with a "black agate".
The characteristic of "poison high five" is to conduct toxins, of course, it must be equipped with capsules encapsulating poisons.
"Thundering Palm" makes a loud noise after hitting the target, and it comes with a sonic attack. It is logical to match it with a "Thunder Stone".
In the same way, it can be seen that if Qiao An wants to realize the design requirements of "Cracking Palm" to switch attack modes at will, it needs to match it with a hard, light, smooth and malleable casting material.
The four basic modes of "Split Empty Palm", fists like hammers, palms like shields, hands like knives, and fingers like spears, are all simulating common weapons. Weapons are usually made of metal, so the casting materials of "Split Empty Palm" Good is also a metal.
Combining all the above requirements, Qiao An can only find one suitable material, which is "Mithril".
Mithril is a well-known rare metal, selling for as much as 1,000 gold duga per pound (about 454 grams).
Through a lot of tests, Joan found that the consumption of Mithril should not be less than 1 ounce (1/16 pound, about 28.35 grams) every time she casts "Split Empty Palm", otherwise the spell would not meet the design target.
The market price of 1 ounce of Mithril is almost 63 Gold Durga. It is used as a one-time casting material, which can be described as "burning money" in the literal sense.
In the past, Qiao An might feel distressed, but now he is a "back wave" with a net worth of 3 million Gold Duga, and the interest on bank deposits alone has a net income of no less than 400 Gold Duga every day. An ounce of mithril is nothing to worry about, you don't even blink when you burn money.
The peaceful days passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, September 1, 1624, that is, the night when the prime minister of the empire, Earl Muller, stepped down. Joan completed the routine meditation homework, made another breakthrough in practice, and was promoted to a 12th-level mage.
After experiencing the freshness of the spiritual probe's exploration in the deep space of the sixth magic net, Joan restrained his excitement and activated the "Inner Vision" to check his body changes after upgrading.
