Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 29 Greed?

In Xu Yuan's hands, any single element of the Five Elements can be controlled with ease.

Even a wisp of pure gold energy gives one a sharp feeling.

The element of wood, with its vibrant life force, can quickly encourage the growth of tree branches for binding and tying.

The element of water, flowing and converging, endlessly.

Fire element, intense and fiery, explosive.

The element of earth, the thick earthen walls, take shape quickly with just a touch of the pen, giving people a solid sense of security.

In Xu Yuan's writing, the five elements can instantly transform into various shapes, and thanks to Xu Yuan's spiritual power and his development of the essence of the elements, the characteristics of each element are also vividly expressed.

It wasn't just a change in form; Xu Yuan also developed its properties very effectively.

With a single stroke of Xu Yuan's brush, five elements converge, swirling and coalescing at the tip of the brush.

The five elements are arranged in order.

The five elements complement each other!

The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are not completely integrated, but they also form a mutually generating structure, creating a unified whole.

Under the cycle of the five elements, no unique phenomena were displayed, yet Cai Yue'er clapped and cheered.

"Not bad, you've actually managed to achieve this level of mutual generation among the five elements."

Xu Yuan dispersed the five elements in front of him and did not continue the display.

He ultimately failed to develop this method into a specific combat soul skill.

"Besides elemental manipulation, what other special skills do you have?"

Cai Yue'er had just witnessed Xu Yuan's marksmanship, but compared to marksmanship, she was more impressed with Xu Yuan's elemental control.

After all, during the fierce battle with the three-thousand-year-old Earth Demon Rhino, Xu Yuan only killed the Earth Demon Rhino with a desperate last blow, using his spear technique.

It must be admitted that that shot was the trump card.

But that's all. If you make good use of the five elements' mutual generation and control, you can also develop a killer weapon with the same or even greater power.

The Heavenly Origin Brush transforms into the Heavenly Origin Spear.

Xu Yuan's entire demeanor changed.

Cai Yue'er couldn't feel it through the screen, but this time she felt it very clearly.

"Gun stance?"

Is this something that comes with the martial soul itself?

She sensed it deeply, and her expression changed.

and also

"Gun intent".

He grasped the essence of spear fighting at the age of seven.

The Five Elements Spear Technique unleashed its strongest strike, uniting the five elements and unleashing the power of the five elements simultaneously. The spear intent exploded, and at that moment, Xu Yuan's spear pierced through the void.

"Perfect score." Cai Yue'er gave the score.

The other two teachers also received full marks.

Xu Yuan got his fourth perfect score as he wished.

"Your martial spirit is outstanding, with two forms. The spear form has its own spear aura, and the pen form seems to be in harmony with the elements of heaven and earth. I still suggest that you choose one path and stick to it firmly, rather than trying to do too much."

Too much to chew.

Xu Yuan, however, did not think so.

However, he didn't need to argue with this old man Cai.

Old Cai had a typical eccentric temperament.

Although Xu Yuan could sense from the later parts of the original work that Cai Lao's initial difficulties with Tang Wulin and the others were pre-arranged with Zhuo Shi and the others, and that she was just playing the bad cop, there was no doubt that her temperament was eccentric.

An old woman who's been single her whole life.

Fortunately for Xu Yuan, Elder Cai did not propose to take him on as a disciple because of his talent in elemental control.

Xu Yuan guessed that it was because his uncle had given Zhuo Shi a heads-up in advance.

"The next challenge will test your secondary profession." Wang Hao led Xu Yuan into the next room, where Cai Yue'er was already seated on the judges' panel.

"Do you have a choice of secondary profession? If not, it's fine. You're only seven years old. I can decide whether or not you can get a zero on this assessment and it won't affect your joining the inner academy," Cai Yue'er said calmly.

Rules are dead, people are alive.

Moreover, the rules were set by the Sea God Pavilion, and as an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, she certainly had such authority.

"I have quite a few side jobs."

"A bit too much?" Cai Yue'er didn't react.

"I've studied mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair, as well as forging, and I've also learned auxiliary forging techniques," Xu Yuan explained about his secondary profession.

Wang Hao stared at Xu Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.

Cai Yue'er frowned and looked at Xu Yuan.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Your martial soul already has two forms. Although you didn't refute me when I told you, I could feel that you still insisted. That's fine, after all, it's a natural martial soul. Also, a soul master with twin martial souls has to cultivate two martial souls. I can understand your situation."

Her tone became stern.

"However, cultivating two forms of martial spirit is inherently difficult, especially since it involves two areas that require focused attention: elemental control and marksmanship. Under these circumstances, why would you choose four secondary professions?"

"Xu Yuan, your talent is undeniable, but you must understand that there are many geniuses in this world, but even they only choose one secondary profession. You have chosen four, which is a bit too disrespectful to others."

Faced with Mr. Cai's guidance, Xu Yuan first bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Cai, but I still want to give it a try. Actually, the three secondary professions of mecha design, manufacturing, and maintenance are more like one profession to me. Although the theoretical learning is complicated, I am confident that I can digest it. As for practice, there is no need to do it separately. I only need the same practical experience to verify the three secondary professions at the same time. Moreover, they complement each other in the verification process, which is enough to make my understanding of the three professions more thorough."

Xu Yuan's statement was not merely a display of confidence; it stemmed more from his existing achievements and a solid foundation of confidence.

"Oh? What level are you at for your three secondary professions?"

"Level two," Xu Yuan said calmly.

Level 2!

Cai Yue'er's pupils contracted.

This level isn't high; in fact, it could be said to be at the bottom among all Shrek students, yet Xu Yuan has only been cultivating for a year.

How long can he study?

Don't forget, Xu Yuan also needs to cultivate his soul power, practice his spear techniques, and hone his elemental control.

She opened her mouth, but realizing she had nothing more to offer Xu Yuan regarding his choice of a secondary profession, Cai Yue'er closed her mouth again.

"Let me show you."

In front of Xu Yuan were four rows of sixteen testing platforms, which were the four assessment positions for the four major secondary professions.

Xu Yuan scanned the tables at the front and walked to a mecha design assessment table.

Mecha design, Level 2 assessment, is basically just answering questions.

The test included questions on the theory of mecha structure, as well as the design of combinations of magic arrays and their effects.

Xu Yuan quickly provided the answer.

The test questions are generated randomly, but there are basically fixed answers, and the results are generated in just a moment.

Full marks.

The fact that Xu Yuan got full marks on the test proves that he has a perfect grasp of the theoretical knowledge of mecha design at level two and below.

Cai Yue'er's gaze flickered slightly.

Full score!

She calmed herself down and gestured for Xu Yuan to continue the demonstration.

Xu Yuan also walked towards the second mecha manufacturing platform.
