BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250 Finding Suitable Ice Element Skill
This was a long process, but Rishi kept his patience. He checked the medical condition of the boxing frog before thinking of his next steps. He now faced a problem; the magic Beast was not able to store the lightning element as it had not awakened it.
It took Rishi some time to think of a solution. He decided to try to store lightning energy inside the magic Beast\'s body. This idea solved the problem; he started buying materials with high lightning energy and feeding them to the magic Beast.
This process continued for two weeks before the Magic Beast could store a large amount of lightning energy inside its body. Rishi needed to carve some magic runes on his body to seal the lightning energy inside it. He even carved a magic rune to increase the conductivity and hardness of his body; this process was also painful, but it was nothing compared to what the magic beast had already experienced.
The resources needed for this research were costly, and they would have depleted ten percent of Rishi\'s bank balance, but as this was a research project under Beast Cultivator Alliance, he received 50% of all capital he used from them, while the academy paid for 30%. With them paying 80%, the cost was manageable. He could also ask for materials from the Beast Cultivator Alliance and get the resources he needed faster and cheaper.
He only needed to show the Academy and Beast Tamer Association where he used the resources. He looked at the Magic Beast in front of him, which had become a little taller and whose body had become straighter. This magic frog sitting with tattoos and various dark blue patches all over his body was not ordinary, but now was another critical phase of the process.
Rishi now needed to teach this magic beast a lighting element movement art. He researched and found an art form that used lightning energy as a medium. It was called \'Thunder Steps.\' Rishi purchased a scroll and used that to directly send the information about the spell inside the magic beast\'s brain. Now it depended on the Magic Beast\'s ability to comprehend it.
Rishi gave the Magic Beast his time to learn the spell. For now, he decided to focus on other things; He attended his classes daily and learned a lot. His whole perspective changed as he learned more about the importance of fighting roles.
He went to the library to look for suitable ice elemental skills; He found many skills there, but he focused on the ones he needed right now. He had only one skill he had gained from his contract Beast; it was an enhancement skill he now needed skills related to offense and defense.
[Ice Enhancement: This skill can be used to enhance the power of any attack or equipment; a layer of ice will appear around them and make them stronger while giving them different properties. By using a high amount of mana, both enhancements could be used simultaneously.
A.) Equipment/Body Enhancement: The equipment enhanced will become many times stronger temporarily. Any opponent damaged by it will be slowed down, and it will give additional damage to energy shields.
B.) Attack Enhancement: The attack enhancement will give Freeze and Cold Burn debuffs to the opponent.]
He first looked at the defensive skills. One was named Frozen Sheild; it could create a shield made up of ice in the air. He looked for more and found others; some created barriers, while others covered their whole bodies with crystals for some time.
The one he liked most was the one that cost the most contribution points. It was a Body cultivation technique to make your body stronger.
[Icy Body: Use ice energy to temper your body and make it stronger and more durable. When fully mastered, you can turn your whole body into an icy body for some time. It also increases the ice element\'s affinity and
Cost: 10,000 CP
NOTE: To learn this technique, you need a very high pain tolerance and rare resources.]
He decided to purchase it later, but for now, he searched for more and finally found a suitable skill. It was called \'Frozen Armor,\' and it created an armor that increased defense. It was very suitable for the fighter class, so he purchased it. He needed to spend 2000 CP on this skill, which left him with only 100 CP. He decided to leave the library for now; he was already busy and didn\'t have time to do missions.
...
The days passed, and Rishi practiced his newly acquired skill during this time. He was able to learn it quickly by using the VR chamber; He then started thinking about completing his assassin skillset; he needed a powerful concealment technique.
He browsed through the many shadow skills available on the black market and purchased the cheapest ones. He dissected them to learn about the concepts they used; When he was done, he decided to browse more and gain more knowledge about concealment skills. He finally decided to create a concealment technique.
It used many concepts from different techniques, plus his previous stealth combo, shadow camouflage, and shadow walk. This technique made him completely invisible; its effectiveness increased with the presence of shadows and darkness, but even without them, it was very powerful.
He named this technique \'Shadow Cloak.\' It helped him conceal his presence until he didn\'t attack. With some tricks like; not moving, standing in the darkness, or staying inside the shadow, the concealment effect was further increased. The concept was very good, but it took him one week to create it, and mastering it looked even harder.
...
Two months had passed since he had arrived at the academy; he had not appeared in public during this time. He was focusing on mastering his techniques, and he finally got good news today; The Magic Beast had finally mastered the skill; even Rishi was surprised.
He couldn\'t hide his joy. He started to prepare for the final phase of the evolutionary path; In the meantime, he fed the Magic Beast with even stronger elixirs to prepare it for evolution; he didn\'t want any accidents.
He didn\'t evolve the Beast in a hurry and decided to wait a week to prepare everything. He checked the state of the magic Beast daily; He ordered all the materials he needed while also informing his teacher and booking a lab to complete the evolution.
He prepared the evolution serum carefully and didn\'t make any mistakes. He also checked the quality of the materials to make sure there was no mistake; He had invested a lot in this project and wanted it to be a complete success.
