Lin Chuan was truly stunned.
Wan Wan’s newly awakened exclusive skill!?
What the hell!
This is too terrifyingly buggy, isn’t it?
How can there be such a monstrous skill!?
Is this the racial exclusive skill that a Book Spirit, contracted with an author, can awaken!?
Fairy Art! Is this Fairy Art!?
Is this prophecy?!
No, prophecy is a glimpse into the future.
But Wan Wan’s exclusive skill directly defines the future.
It makes the future develop according to her writing.
It’s as if there’s truly an author behind the scenes, arranging the plot, writing every character’s dialogue, actions, and thoughts.
“Wan Wan, to what extent can your skill achieve?”
Lin Chuan quickly pressed for an answer.
Wan Wan shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn’t know either.
Alright, Lin Chuan understood the situation. Just like how he still didn’t understand many details about Reincarnation of Rebirth, Wan Wan also only knew one aspect of this ‘Fairy Art · Creation Mode’ and not the other; she only knew the effect, but not the limit of its effect.
What to do then?
Of course, it’s to test it! To test it thoroughly!
Lin Chuan had no way to frequently test Reincarnation of Rebirth multiple times right now. At most, he could reincarnate Guoguo as well, but then he wouldn’t have any guaranteed combat power by his side. If any sudden situation arose requiring him to fight a battle, he would be completely finished.
But Wan Wan’s exclusive skill should be fine.
Although the skill consumes a lot, Wan Wan, being only Shuai Grade 1, couldn’t sustain it.
But wasn’t he, her author and Beast Master, still here!?
An author acting as a power bank for a contracted Book Spirit was something he had never seen before. If he were to write a thesis about it and submit it to Sixth Academy, he could probably earn a lot of academic credits. Of course, Lin Chuan wouldn’t be so foolish as to expose himself for a few academic credits.
It was fine for him, the author and Beast Master, to act as a power bank for Wan Wan.
As for his own ‘power’ as a power bank being insufficient?
Didn’t he still have Sakura, an even larger power bank!?
Sakura would charge him, and he would charge Wan Wan.
At the same time, Sakura could also activate Rooting and Photosynthesis, continuously recovering herself. With the unlimited use of various precious Illusion Attribute and Wood Attribute resources purchased with academic credits these days, Sakura could still keep up with the consumption.
And Lin Chuan himself could drink mental potions in critical moments, up to a maximum of 10 bottles a day. Occasionally drinking one was still fine.
Thus.
On average, ‘Fairy Art · Creation Mode’ could be used once every 20 minutes.
The test began immediately.
The first test subject was naturally Lin Chuan himself.
Previously, Lin Chuan didn’t know what was happening and was completely unprepared, so he fell victim.
But now, Lin Chuan, knowing that his future would be manipulated and written, consciously and proactively resisted and defended himself.
As soon as that inexplicable thought surfaced in his mind, he would immediately cut off his thoughts, clear his mind, or do something else to distract himself.
Whenever something unusual happened around him, he would raise his guard.
The test results:
When he clearly knew the situation and consciously defended against it, just like Sakura’s illusion techniques were basically ineffective against him, Wan Wan’s Fairy Art also couldn’t write or influence his future, and couldn’t affect his thoughts, language, and actions as it did just now.
This test result...
Lin Chuan felt a little regretful, but overall, it was still within expectations.
After all, Wan Wan had just reincarnated and was only Shuai Grade 1.
Even if Wan Wan used Lin Chuan’s energy, Wan Wan herself, as the energy output end of the skill, was like a toy water gun; the flow aperture was tiny, and the pressure was insufficient, so how much water could it really spray out?
Moreover, this Fairy Art had only just been comprehended and was only at the introductory level.
If it could have any huge effect, that would be very illogical.
For the second test subject, Lin Chuan chose Guoguo.
Sakura had watched everything from beginning to end, and combined with her current intelligence, she had completely understood the situation. It was estimated that testing on Sakura would yield even poorer results than on him, a human Beast Master.
And Guoguo was still standing guard at the Meditation Room door, unaware that Wan Wan had completed her reincarnation and awakened such an exaggerated exclusive skill.
Wan Wan, as per Lin Chuan’s request, wrote Guoguo’s future.
Wan Wan wrote:
Guoguo was sent by Lin Chuan to the training room to fetch another item, but halfway, Guoguo accidentally stepped on a small pebble, tripped, and fell flat on her face.
Lin Chuan actively cooperated with the written content. He walked out of the Meditation Room and told Guoguo that the reincarnation was complete and they were currently in the data testing phase, which required some items for cooperation. He asked Guoguo to go to the training room next to the Meditation Room to help fetch them.
Guoguo didn’t suspect anything and obediently ran to the training room next door.
The training room was adjusted to an environment suitable for Wood Attribute spirit beasts, not only simulating sunlight but also having soil, wetlands, and small pebbles.
Lin Chuan, through his authority as the manor owner, checked the surveillance in real-time via his phone.
Just as Wan Wan had written, Guoguo stepped on a stone as soon as she entered the training room, looking as if she was about to fall.
However, Guoguo instantly stabilized her center of gravity and did not fall, successfully bringing back the test items Lin Chuan requested.
This test result...
In other words, for beings far exceeding one’s own strength, even if the other party is completely unaware and unprepared, it is almost impossible to write or influence their future.
Then, Lin Chuan had Wan Wan write the following content:
‘Lin Chuan is exceptionally lucky. While out for a walk, he actually found money.’
It didn’t specify how much money he found.
Lin Chuan opened the door and walked around the manor, picking up 1 coin, totaling 10 star rock coin. It was likely dropped by some Gardener Chicken working there.
Next was the final test.
Wan Wan wrote: ‘Lin Chuan, Sakura, and Guoguo all have exceptionally good luck today. They played a game of guessing coin flips and kept guessing correctly.’
This was a standard 50% probability game.
Lin Chuan played on the computer, directly activating accelerated continuous click mode, playing 100,000 coin flip games at once.
His probability of guessing correctly was 53.3%.
When Sakura played, her probability of guessing correctly was 51.4%.
Finally, Guoguo’s probability was infinitely close to 50%; her probability of guessing correctly was 50.3%.
After approximately 24 hours of testing, data collection, and Wan Wan’s personal organization.
Lin Chuan roughly understood the limits of Wan Wan’s skill.
How to put it?
One can only say that the future is promising.
When Wan Wan undergoes her second and even third Transformation, raising her bloodline rank to the material limit of the “new fairytale compilation” book, and her specific level to Tier 3 or above, and her skill proficiency to Expert Grade or even Master Grade.
Perhaps the effect of this ‘Fairy Art · Creation Mode’ will be very buggy and terrifying, capable of writing the fate and future of others.
As for now, it’s better than nothing.
It can smoothly alter the thoughts and actions of unprepared first-year students of the same generation, for example, making a student, when greeting someone, change from ‘Good morning’ to ‘Good morning, did you eat something good just now?’
This level of change, without violating the general direction of their own thought logic, is feasible and almost guaranteed to succeed.
But if it changes from ‘Good morning’ to ‘What are you looking at? Try looking again!’. Such an inexplicable, abrupt, and almost direct change in thought direction would inevitably be ineffective.
That concludes the testing of Wan Wan’s exclusive skill.
In short, this skill needs to be practiced and not completely abandoned, as its future is promising.
However, for now, it can at most serve as a daily auxiliary buff.
Specifically, every morning when he wakes up, or when he has something important to go out for, like attending classes, Lin Chuan will have Wan Wan give him buffs like “Good luck, good things will happen,” “Today’s in great shape, sharp of hearing and sight, clear-headed, able to understand and grasp all the knowledge in class.” Such lucky buffs and learning buffs.
Currently, Wan Wan’s main focus is still on leveling up and practicing other Fairy Arts that can quickly increase combat power.
Oh, and working part-time at the library and auditing classes cannot be neglected either.
Auditing classes goes without saying. Lin Chuan’s energy, time, and learning ability are limited.
If not for Wan Wan’s help in auditing classes to forcibly memorize knowledge and then tutoring him after class, Lin Chuan’s progress in professional knowledge would probably lag far behind those top students and academic geniuses. This year alone, the proportion of top students and academic geniuses among the first-year students at Sixth Academy is nearly 40%!
As for working part-time, it’s naturally to help him earn academic credits.
Sakura still can’t go out, and although Guoguo’s intelligence has grown, she hasn’t reached a level of complete independence and needs to follow him, her Beast Master, to act. Only Wan Wan can act independently without any accidents.
Subsequently, Lin Chuan plans to contract at least a Shuai Grade flying mount spirit beast and exchange for an intermediate Illusion Attribute exclusive Meditation before embarking on his journey.
It’s worth mentioning here.
Meditation, in fact, has the same effect as Synergy Dance. Both enhance the depth of the contract between the Beast Master and the contracted spirit beast, as well as their synchronization, improving the energy feedback efficiency when the spirit beast levels up, grows, evolves, and transforms.
The fundamental principle of both is a type of ritual.
However, Meditation requires consuming resources, carving spiritual patterns and formations, and is a ritual with relatively higher environmental requirements.
Synergy Dance, on the other hand, is a celebratory ritual that doesn’t require resources and has relatively lower environmental requirements.
As for the specific effects, they vary from person to person and from environment to environment.
If precious resources are used in conjunction, then Meditation will have a better effect.
If not, then Synergy Dance will have a better effect.
Moreover, because Meditation is a ritual, it basically cannot be used in combat. After all, the opponent won’t give you the opportunity to set up a ritual site, nor will they let you sit cross-legged and meditate with closed eyes. Therefore, Meditation can basically only be used in daily cultivation and training.
Synergy Dance, however, can be used in combat.
When Synergy Dance is practiced to the point where the mind moves with the will, like An Qianqian, she can temporarily increase her synchronization with her spirit beast significantly in a short period by just dancing a few steps and making some awkward dance moves with Flower Spirit Immortal during combat, reaching a state of mental unity, even 100% resonance.
In short, both Meditation and Synergy Dance must be practiced; neither can be neglected.
Synergy Dance, with An Qianqian’s special Flower Moon Dance tutoring, is temporarily sufficient.
The Wood and Illusion Attribute Flower Moon Dance is most compatible with Guoguo, and Sakura can also use it.
Finally, regarding Wan Wan, there’s one more thing that must be mentioned.
Although Wan Wan hasn’t fully unleashed the bloodline potential that “new fairytale compilation” should possess.
In some aspects, however, Wan Wan has already gained abilities typically found only in Book Spirits of higher bloodline ranks.
Book Spirits with lower bloodline ranks can only control their main book to fly, and the spiritual body they transform and materialize can only appear on the main book itself.
Book Spirits with higher bloodline ranks, at least those reaching Shuai Grade, can use basic Fairy Art to shrink their main book and store it within their transformed and materialized body, much like a spirit core.
Even if it’s not stored inside the body and remains outside.
The range of activity for the Book Spirit’s transformed body will greatly increase, no longer confined to the main book.
Instead, with the main book as the origin point, a certain spatial range around it becomes the area where it can move freely.
Currently, Wan Wan’s maximum activity distance is 10 meters.
However, for Wan Wan, storing the book’s main body within her transformed body is even more important and crucial; this is also a necessary concealment.
Otherwise, if “new fairytale compilation” were exposed, its clearly different size and thickness compared to the previous cooking magazine would cause trouble if seen by someone with ulterior motives.
There are quite a few beings who know what book Wan Wan’s main body is.
For example, Book Spirit 1933 from No. 1 Library, and the professors and teachers of the classes Wan Wan frequently audits.
Once they saw Wan Wan change her main book, they would naturally guess something.
And now, Wan Wan shrinks “new fairytale compilation” and stores it within her spiritual body.
Then, she gets a cooking magazine of similar size and thickness to her original one, and controls it with Fairy Art · Floating to step on it, creating a perfect disguise.
Floating is a Wind Attribute skill that Lin Chuan recently acquired from the spirit beast materials he found.
As for why Lin Chuan didn’t make “new fairytale compilation” the same size and thickness as the cooking magazine, which would make disguising it even simpler—just putting a book cover on it—that’s because the cooking magazine is too small and thin. That small capacity wouldn’t allow for many fairy tales, let alone exquisite illustrations.
A book made to the specifications of a cooking magazine would probably have a final bloodline rank upper limit of only the current Soldier Grade Upper Rank.
Of course, successful disguise and non-exposure also have a prerequisite: that Sixth Academy doesn’t use some special skills for observation.
Such as Insight, Detection, Analysis, Divination, and the like.
However, generally, Sixth Academy and the professors and students won’t do such things as casually probing others.
It’s very impolite and doesn’t conform to the customary confidentiality rules among Beast Masters.
Unless hostile or becoming opponents in a competition, a quality Beast Master would not casually use skills to probe others’ information.
Unfortunately, Lin Chuan hasn’t found any inheritance materials for the Illusion Attribute skill called ‘Transformation’ yet.
Otherwise, if he directly inherited and upgraded it to Master Grade for Wan Wan, it wouldn’t be so troublesome. He could simply transform “new fairytale compilation” into a cooking magazine, which would be very easy to fool others. Even if it were probed, as long as the proficiency wasn’t higher than Transformation, and the mental power wasn’t higher than his Beast Master and Wan Wan combined, it would basically be impossible to see through.
Although relevant skill inheritance materials haven’t been found yet.
However, skill practice method books are available; they just need to be exchanged with academic credits, and then one can go back and comprehend and practice them oneself.
