"Everything... starting from the one-star level, I need whatever you can get. If the five-star or six-star ones are hard to obtain, you don't have to force it. In short, I need all levels and all different types of wind elemental cores. Try your best to find them all." Du Nan said something astonishing.
This didn't sound like a warrior who fuses one core at the one-star level.
It sounded more like a big merchant dealing in the trade of elemental cores.
"Sir, as far as I know, there are more than fifty types of one-star wind elemental cores?" Ma Ge was also very puzzled. The Traveler was definitely not the type to make a fortune from war; otherwise, he wouldn't have spent all his money on charity on the Scrap Metal Planet.
"Actually, there are more than fifty types. Help me find more. As long as they are different types, I need them. Remember, don't get a second identical core. Also, no matter how strange the energy or how poor the attributes of the cores you find, buy them if you can. I need everything. I will repay you in the future. It would be best if you could find some wind elemental cores within a few days and send them to this coordinate on the Iron Wall Planet. I have a way to get them." Du Nan explained in detail and sent a star navigation coordinate.
Ma Ge listened more and more clearly.
The Traveler wasn't doing business; he only wanted one of each core and didn't want duplicates... No one does business like this in the world.
He must be researching something.
When he mentioned 'we' earlier, it was likely that the Traveler's companions needed it.
"I will collect them within a day, send them within two days, and ensure they arrive within three days." Ma Ge checked the coordinates and immediately made a calculation. The interior of the Iron Wall Planet was very dangerous, but the outer areas were not. This desolate place was not even worth a pirate gang's attention, making it easy to deliver goods.
"Thank you, I will contact you again." Du Nan said, bid farewell to Ma Ge, and logged out of the magic network.
In his heart,
He was slightly excited.
All along, the 'zero-level' origin core, the 'vacuum core' of wind elemental magic, which the four royal families had been desperately seeking, could finally be tested for its essence. Unlike the thunder core, wind elemental magic was not a forbidden item and could be used openly. If it could be fused infinitely without any accidents, it would quickly surpass all his trump cards.
As the Thunder Emperor said, with such a 'guaranteed success, infinite fusion' foundation, it didn't matter about personal talent; it was all about how many cores you could buy.
The seven-star wind elemental core, Guroding must have it.
Recalling when he had the zero-level foundation, fusing a six-star thunder core was no problem. The Thunder Emperor said that suddenly fusing a nine-star core would be dangerous, so the seven-star core must be a significant hurdle. Anyway, now that he had the wind elemental all-fusion constitution, he could deal with the seven-star core later. As long as he fused step by step, there would be no danger.
What new identity should he create? There were no warriors in the world who possessed two types of elemental magic. With wind elemental magic, he needed a new identity.
"How about calling the Traveler's friend 'Wind Walker'?"
Three days later.
The Silver Leaf Group was still searching for magic bodies inside the Iron Wall Planet, but Du Nan had already received Ma Ge's first batch of goods: forty-eight one-star, thirty-four two-star, twenty-five three-star, seven four-star, four five-star, and two six-star wind elemental cores. The invoice also included a note: most of the low-level cores were bought from the market, and the four-star and above cores would take some time to arrange and purchase. The seven-star core might be obtainable from Old Hong, but a very good reason would be needed. If it was urgent, a personal visit to the Tianyang Federation to negotiate with Old Hong would be necessary.
Du Nan put down the invoice, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
In front of him was a pile of wind elemental cores... these would all be his new power. With the 'vacuum core' of the origin, he didn't need to work too hard; everything would come naturally. The upcoming fusions would not fail; it was just a matter of time. At this moment, thinking about how most magic warriors struggle for half their lives to reach the four-star level, and he could easily surpass it, Du Nan found it hard to remain calm.
This feeling was like being born into an imperial family... wealth, power, talent, resources. Everything was already prepared for you.
All you needed was to reach out.
Then, you would naturally possess it. This feeling was both exhilarating and unsettling. If he had started with the usable vacuum core instead of the forbidden thunder core, he would probably already be at the top of the entire starry sky, right?
Buzz!
Du Nan picked up the hardest-to-fuse 'pure wind core,' and a slight unusual sensation came over him. In an instant, like a sponge absorbing water, the wind elemental energy flowed into his body without any resistance, merging seamlessly. In less than ten seconds, the flower-shaped core shattered into sand, and the pure wind core was perfectly fused.
The wind elemental magic officially reached the one-star level.
"Ten times easier than the thunder elemental." Du Nan compared the two elemental magics; the fusion of thunder elemental still had a bit of difficulty.
The wind elemental was like drinking water; however much you poured, you could drink.
After a preliminary understanding, Du Nan took another one-star 'no wind core' in his hand, thinking: other elemental magics cannot fuse two cores of the same level, but with the support of the all-fusion constitution, what would happen if he fused another one... would the energy increase? Would the power increase? Or would the level rise?
After about seven or eight seconds.
The no wind core shattered into sand, and Du Nan seemed to enter a strange realm.
At this moment, his level as a one-star warrior did not change, nor did the power of the wind elemental magic increase. Fusing the same-level no wind core increased his magic capacity, almost doubling it. The magic recovery rate also greatly improved, and his resistance to similar elemental magic was higher. Most importantly, his constitution had changed slightly. His speed and agility had significantly increased.
This was not an increase in the speed of the wind elemental magic but an improvement in his own constitution.
Fusing two cores of the same level had an effect similar to a fragment of a divine artifact... This change shocked Du Nan. Divine artifact fragments and elemental cores were completely different things. Could it be that to adapt to two cores of the same level, one needed to enhance their constitution to maintain their body? If so, what was the connection between divine artifact fragments, elemental cores, and magic bodies?
Du Nan picked up another one-star 'gentle wind core' and fused it, returning to the origin.
After completion.
His constitution changed again, and he felt a slight increase in speed. His perception of surrounding sounds also became clearer.
A slight enhancement in hearing.
Whirr! Du Nan activated the wind elemental magic, causing a gentle breeze to ripple through the cabin. In his perception, the areas the wind passed over appeared as transparent images. The small area seemed to become a transparent space, revealing everything without a single omission.
Very good, very strong!
Even though he was still at the one-star level, Du Nan felt this power was more terrifying than a two-star warrior.
After a while, after fusing the forty-eight one-star cores.
Du Nan had completely transformed, radiating a divine light. With a wave of his hand, the air rippled like water, a scene that even surprised him. A burst of wind shot from his finger, creating a ripple on the thick alloy steel wall, but it didn't penetrate. At this moment, the wind elemental magic in Du Nan's body, which had been completely depleted, regenerated at a rate forty-eight times faster.
After seventeen or eighteen breaths, the wind elemental magic was fully restored.
"Almost infinite?" Du Nan calculated the recovery time and was once again amazed.
No matter how many cores of the same level he fused, the power and level remained unchanged, but the total magic and recovery speed increased exponentially. The changes in his constitution from the forty-eight cores were almost equivalent to the effect of 'half a divine artifact fragment.' Looking at the more than seventy higher-level cores that were not yet fused, Du Nan felt an inexplicable excitement.
This zero-level origin core was a shortcut to divinity.
In ten minutes, the wind elemental magic reached the two-star level.
An hour later, it reached the three-star level.
Five hours later, the four-star level.
Fourteen hours later, the five-star level.
Finally, after fusing the last two six-star cores, Du Nan spent less than a day in total. From one-star White Iron to six-star Diamond, in less than a day... fusing more than a hundred elemental cores in less than a day... from no wind to superstorm in less than a day... what were warriors and strongmen? What were nobles and royals? ... Now, I am: a god!
The changes brought by the wind origin core made Du Nan's mindset drastically change, and he felt a slight loss of control. However, soon, a giant beast with a tiger's head, bull's horns, and eagle's wings growled mockingly inside his body, and Du Nan immediately forced himself to calm down, returning to a normal state.
This transformation made Du Nan suppress his emotions for two or three hours before he could fully calm down.
Finally, he took a deep breath.
Sweat soaked his back, and he barely returned to himself.
After this transformation, Du Nan didn't stop out of fear. He manipulated his magic with both hands, continuing to test the 'surprises' brought by the more than a hundred cores.
"No wind core plus no sound core, plus no temperature core, results in a small odd skill. Vacuum Domain, this thing..." Du Nan opened the 'Vacuum Domain' beside him, and his body immediately entered a weightless state, floating up. The surrounding air was isolated, and even dust could not enter. This clean world was more thorough than the Pure Blue Suffocation, rejecting all matter except air.
Using it as a large shield against insect swarms should be quite effective. Du Nan smiled, not yet thinking of other uses.
With a wave of his hand.
Several small tornadoes appeared on the ground.
"Small tornado core plus large tornado core, plus super tornado core, this thing is similar to the earthquake odd skill of Silverfoot. Three effects, a super odd skill, not inferior to the Pure Blue odd skill." Du Nan whispered, pulling a line of 'wind beam' from his hand, wrapping it around his hand like a rope. With a thought, the rope became incredibly sharp, instantly cutting through flesh and stopping at the bone.
Indeed, the bone reinforced by the divine artifact fragment couldn't be cut by the 'line tornado.' Let's try the blade tornado.
Du Nan thought and moved his hand, forming a vortex of wind.
It cut into the flesh of his arm, making a strange 'squeaking' sound as it ground against the bone. The air became warm from the friction, but the bone remained undamaged. Du Nan then pushed the blade tornado out, slicing through the alloy steel wall of the cabin like tofu. The sharpness was beyond his imagination.
"Perfect." Du Nan sighed, unsure whether he was sighing over the bone reinforced by the divine artifact fragment or the sharpness of the blade tornado.
Just as he finished the experiment, the communicator suddenly rang.
"Brother Du, Four Eyes felt it, there's a load. But it seems there's a problem, hahaha, no kidding, we might have a double harvest."
