Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Adaptation

Sure, here is the translated text:

While the entire Elorcia Plane was bustling with the massive bounty, Jeming and the others were still moving through the wilderness.

The advancement to a First Level Wizard brought even greater improvements than Jeming initially expected. The Ring of Truth exaggerated the enhancement of Spiritual Power and the speed of Cultivation significantly.

Especially since his enhanced Spiritual Power could be converted into tangible Cultivation under the Inner Cycle and the Dharma Gate of Refining Essence and Qi.

In recent days, Jeming’s Qi Cultivation and meditation speed have both reached new heights, ascending like a spiral with the left foot stepping on the right.

As a result, after all three advanced to First Level Wizards, they all encountered issues with precise power control.

Fortunately, this problem was easy to solve.

On their long journey to the Wizard Base Camp, they turned the non-threatening enemy units they encountered along the way into their training ground for “sweeping” and “familiarizing with power.”

Jeming walked at the forefront, with his Spiritual Power constantly connected to the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror.

The Spiritual nature of the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror, cultivated deliberately by Jeming over the years, was sufficient to handle the massive information returned by the Eye of the Micro-Light group, including the Eye of Scouting.

As they passed through a forest shrouded in thick fog, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror issued a warning.

“Ahead, a group of small forest Spirit Monsters,” Jeming said in a low voice, “About thirty of them, relatively weak in strength, but their energy fluctuations are rather peculiar.”

Victor and Amy immediately understood and prepared their respective attack Witchcraft.

“The Shaman’s Soul contained no information about Spirit Monsters near this forest, stay alert!” Amy reminded.

Jeming and Victor both nodded in understanding.

Along the journey, apart from familiarizing themselves with their power, they also witnessed many unique talent abilities of the creatures native to this Plane.

Many of these abilities seemed insignificant, but in unfamiliar situations, one could easily suffer great losses.

Just like the encounter with the Beastmen when they destroyed the Shen Kan before.

The Beastmen’s characteristic is an extremely resilient Life Energy, but only by facing them directly does one realize that even when their bodies are riddled with holes, they still have the capability to fight back.

The so-called Spirit Monsters are a rather special form of Natural Elf in the Elorcia Plane.

Their nature, whether good or evil, and their talent abilities, could change corresponding to their natural environment, making them the most challenging opponents to gather intelligence on.

As the three approached the camp, a sharp, malicious shriek resounded instantly.

Dozens of forest Spirit Monsters with different forms emerged from the mist. Some resembled branches, others looked like moss, all emitting a faint green glow.

They moved with incredible speed, lunging towards the three from all directions with sharp claws and mandibles.

However, Jeming was even faster, taking the initiative before they launched an attack.

Yet, an Energy Bullet attack had little effect.

The white, flowing Energy Bullets shattered the bodies of the Spirit Monsters into pieces, but they seemed unscathed as they continued to lunge forward.

“Beware, the exterior material isn’t their body!” Jeming quickly shouted.

He keenly noticed that despite their bodies sustaining damage, these Spirit Monsters could still move, with some even having parts completely suspended in mid-air without any effect.

This indicated that the material in front of them was just a diversion.

Judging by the Energy Bullets’ performance, the true forms of these Spirit Monsters should be some kind of Void Spirit form that ignores Physical Attacks.

Having lost the initiative, in the blink of an eye, the Spirit Monsters lunged.

Nonetheless, Jeming remained calm.

As the Spirit Monsters initiated their attack, his Spiritual Power surged within him, instantly activating the Defensive Talisman Witchcraft Artifact which was in a dormant state.

The originally swift movements of the Spirit Monsters abruptly became sluggish, as if stuck in a viscous mire!

This was Jeming’s outermost defense—the “Deceleration Domain.”

A powerful Energy Field enveloped the area around Jeming, causing any Spirit Monster entering it to move sluggishly, like in slow motion.

Some Spirit Monsters that didn’t enter the Deceleration Domain defiantly circled Jeming, trying to find gaps in the Force Field.

Yet, they found the target before them blurring and distorting.

This was the effect of the second defense—the “Refraction Light Mirror.”

The air around Jeming was refracted by some power, causing severe visual distortion and deviation for the Spirit Monsters. Even the attacks of those who managed to endure the Deceleration Domain often missed the target due to the refraction, stabbing into the ground or hitting a companion.

However, before the Spirit Monsters could come up with a countermeasure, two more layers of defenses activated on Jeming.

Around him appeared four shimmering “Force Field Shields” with rune glows, circling him. Built from Talismans, the sturdy force fields, although having a smaller defensive range, were exceptionally strong in the frontal area.

The last layer of defense was the most basic and intimate “Energy Shield.”

A transparent light membrane appeared on Jeming’s body surface, like an additional semi-translucent eggshell.

This multi-layered defense system rendered the Spirit Monsters’ attacks ineffective.

Jeming cautiously observed for a while, confirming the essence of these Spirit Monsters.

“Though completely immune to Physical Attacks, they have low resistance to Energy, so much so that even the Energy Field of the Deceleration Domain can cause them significant damage… With a trait similar to ’intangible,’ a type of creature specialized in Physical Attack nullification…”

He slightly raised his wrist, where a bracelet rapidly spun, revealing the Talisman Witchcraft Artifact embedded on it.

“Good thing I was prepared.”

The Talisman Witchcraft on his two wrists corresponded to different types of attacks.

The Talisman on his left wrist activated pure physical kinetic Energy Bullets.

While the Talisman on his right wrist activated pure elemental erosion energy impact.

“Elemental Erosion.” Jeming willed.

In the next second, the Talisman Witchcraft on his right wrist began to operate rapidly, firing ten finger-thick white beams like lasers, hitting the Spirit Monsters struggling in the “deceleration” state precisely.

The high-intensity Elemental Erosion force, ignoring the Spirit Monsters’ “intangible” trait, seeped into their ethereal bodies like ink, directly damaging their Energy Cores.

“Ssss!!!”

The Spirit Monsters emitted piercing shrieks, forcibly condensed from nothingness, then rapidly withered, turning into puddles of green liquid that smoked black.

Turning, he saw that Amy and Victor had quickly dealt with the remaining stray Spirit Monsters to prevent them from scattering and fleeing.

When all the Spirit Monsters were eradicated, the entire woodland was left with only pools of green liquid.

“Tsk tsk tsk… You’re getting more formidable,” Amy couldn’t help but marvel at Jeming.

Victor also felt a bit emotional: “I initially thought independently creating attack Witchcraft would narrow the gap with you, but now it seems the gap seems to be widening.”

“That’s normal, after all, as you said, I’m the flagship of our Alchemy Element,” Jeming joked.

With so many days of interaction and fighting together, their relationship had noticeably grown closer than before.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Jeming suddenly frowned.

The Eye of Scouting informed him that fifty kilometers ahead, a small team of Transcendents emitting special energy entered his “sight.”
