I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 121

Chapter 121

“This”

The time required to modify the spell model was getting longer and longer, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for Fang Bai to make changes.

Fang Bai discovered that the greater the changes made to the original spell model, the more difficult it became to modify.

The Lightning Spell has a total of sixty spell nodes. The main components that constrain the shape of the lightning and adjust its current power are two spell structures, while the other spell structures provide auxiliary support.

These spell structures are all within the same large framework.

With Fang Bai’s current abilities, he can influence other nodes within a spell structure while modifying it, thereby minimizing the impact on the overall framework and not affecting the overall spell effect.

Previously, Fang Bai had been continuously adjusting these two spell structures.

However, these two spell structures combined only have seventeen spell nodes.

Fang Bai’s repeated fine-tuning had essentially exhausted all the leeway within the large framework.

If Fang Bai were to continue adjusting the structures, the spell structures could still be modified, but as soon as they were moved, as soon as the spell structures changed, the entire spell model would fail and collapse.

“Perhaps I can try adjusting the framework of the entire spell model.”

Fang Bai hesitated slightly. He had already modified the spell structures into the most suitable form for the Ring Lightning, at least the best option within the overall framework, the best option with his current abilities.

Fang Bai couldn’t do any better.

If he wanted to go further, he could only work on the framework. Fang Bai was confident about modifying the structure, but directly jumping from adjusting the second layer to the third layer, Fang Bai wasn’t sure.

“I can only try.”

Fang Bai deduced in his mind for a moment, then began to construct a Lightning Spell model.

With just one movement, the entire spell model collapsed.

In a spell model, every spell node affects the whole.

Previously, when Fang Bai made minor adjustments to the spell structure, other parts of the spell model would also adjust accordingly, but the main positions remained unchanged.

Modifying the overall framework meant that Fang Bai was not just changing one spell structure but making large-scale changes to the whole.

Fang Bai could adjust to the overall changes caused by a single point, but simultaneous changes at multiple points throughout the model…

Fang Bai tried again and again, adjusting repeatedly, but without exception, every attempt ended in failure.

Fang Bai continued to fail until the three of them arrived.

The members of the trusted Knight squad were still being selected. Fang Bai didn’t want to be too casual about it, so he would rather delay their progress in cultivation for a few days to carefully select and review them. So currently, it was still Bai Qing, Wang Kai, and Wang Xiong who came to cultivate.

After briefly helping the three enter a cultivation state, Fang Bai returned to his own position.

The failures didn’t discourage Fang Bai, nor did they surprise him much.

Because Fang Bai himself wasn’t confident.

Improving a spell model is a very rigorous matter, unlike other things where one can take a gamble.

Improving a spell model is like solving a math problem. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. There’s no luck involved.

After a hundred failures, Fang Bai finally stopped his futile attempts driven by wishful thinking. After pondering for a long time, Fang Bai made another adjustment to the spell model.

This time, Fang Bai didn’t improve in the direction of increasing the Ring Lightning. Instead, he added two straight lightning circuits on either side of the six Ring Lightnings.

Fang Bai wanted to test the acceleration effect of the current six lightning rings, to see if it could achieve a weapon-like effect.

This modification was completed in just over an hour, which made Fang Bai’s heart stir slightly. However, he immediately suppressed it and used Mage Hand to lift a bearing steel ball.

Mental Power constructed the Lightning Spell model. Six Ring Lightnings appeared one after another in front of the steel ball. However, the two straight lightnings that appeared on the sides were released prematurely, causing the steel ball to remain in place.

Clatter!

The steel ball fell to the ground.

“Ah, this…”

Wang Kai, who was curious, made a sound when he saw this. Fang Bai was also taken aback and immediately reacted.

“These two straight lightnings cannot be released immediately. They must be delayed a bit.

Even a delay of 0.001 seconds would do. They must be formed later than the Ring Lightning!”

Fang Bai pondered for a moment, then immediately began to modify it. This was also very simple.

Just like with the Fireball spell, Fang Bai could detonate the Fireball he released whenever he wanted. It was the same principle.

Fang Bai didn’t hesitate and immediately improved the spell model. After about ten minutes, Fang Bai took a deep breath and lifted a steel ball again.

The three people beside him immediately focused their attention on the steel ball.

Then, six lightning rings formed in front of the steel ball. The moment the sixth lightning ring formed, the two straight lightnings suddenly shot forward…

As the three of them watched with wide eyes, the steel ball shot forward instantly.

“Pa!”

Clatter.

Wang Kai’s cola bottle fell to the ground.

Wang Kai looked at Fang Bai.

“Village Chief, didn’t I just say something? Why did you hit my cola?”

Looking at the bottled cola that had fallen to the ground but remained intact, Fang Bai’s face darkened when he heard Wang Kai’s words.

Then, Fang Bai lifted another steel ball. A few seconds later, the Ring Lightning formed. Wang Kai was initially chuckling, but when he realized that the Ring Lightning was aimed at him, he didn’t panic.

“Village Chief, this thing, even ten of them wouldn’t scare me.”

Pa!

The steel ball hit Wang Kai’s thigh. It failed to penetrate the armor on his leg and was directly deflected.

Hearing Wang Kai’s voice, Fang Bai’s face darkened slightly.

He glanced at Wang Kai, with a thought, a projection formed in the distance, took something, and walked over. Wang Kai suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw this.

When he saw the nail that Fang Bai’s projection was carrying, Wang Kai’s heart skipped a beat.

When he realized that the nail was aimed at his crotch, Wang Kai’s eyes widened instantly.

“Village Chief! Village Chief! Don’t, I was wrong! You can’t hit me there!”

Fang Bai glanced at Wang Kai, and the next moment, six lightning rings formed.

The instant he saw the six rings form, Wang Kai jumped up abruptly.

Pa!

The nail hit the ground. Wang Kai broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding.

“That was close, that was close.”

When he saw Fang Bai raise another nail, Wang Kai immediately cowered.

“Village Chief, I was wrong, please spare me.”

Wang Kai pleaded bitterly. Fang Bai glanced at him, casually canceled the spell model, and turned his head to look at the nail, lost in thought again.

“The power is too weak. The acceleration track formed by the six lightning rings is too short. Not only that, the lightning rings consume too much power, and the lightning formed on both sides doesn’t have enough energy level…”

Fang Bai fell into deep thought, while Wang Kai beside him looked at Fang Bai with a bitter face.

“Village Chief, my cultivation…”

“Get lost.”

“Alright.”

“Pfft.”

Bai Qing laughed out loud.
