He too felt a warm current pass through his skin and skull, entering his brain and reaching deep inside.
That was the location of the pituitary gland.
Meanwhile, Ji Xinghuo’s mind trembled slightly, his consciousness in a state of chaos. He didn’t know how long it had been by the time he regained clarity, but the fusion had already ended. He looked at his mechanical watch and found that more than half an hour had passed.
When Ji Xinghuo opened the interface of Wanxiang Star Pupil, sure enough, the information had been updated, showing a new ability.
[Ability: Spiritual Energy (First Level 1/1049)]
He had successfully fused with the Spiritual Ability Species, and his Star Power had increased by several dozen points, reaching 3221 points!
"How should Spiritual Energy be used?"
No sooner had Ji Xinghuo thought about it than he understood. With a thought, an invisible energy, taking the form of waves, spread outward from his brain, enveloping an area of about thirty meters. It was invisible and intangible, yet it undeniably existed.
This was Spiritual Energy!
Ji Xinghuo felt as though he had gained an extra hand that could move, see, and touch, capable of many things, yet lacking the necessary conditions.
"Lacking the Tuning Ability," he understood what was going on.
The essence of Spiritual Energy is that of a tool.
Its purpose is to transform Star Power into various forms of energy, rather than creating something out of nothing.
Spiritual Energy and Star Power can be understood as waves and particles: two forms of the same energy, a concrete manifestation of wave-particle duality.
Using Spiritual Energy will consume Star Power.
The more robust the Star Power, the longer the Spiritual Energy can be maintained.
The higher the level of Spiritual Energy, the more powerful this tool, the higher the efficiency of energy transformation, and the further the projection and effect range.
However, for Spiritual Energy to be effective, the "Tuning Ability" is necessary, which is to be combined with a Creation Energy Element Ability, to choose the form of energy into which Spiritual Energy is to be transformed. Once the form of energy is set, it cannot be changed, thus fixing the path for future evolution.
Thermal Energy, Mechanical Energy, Sound Energy, Biological Energy, Chemical Energy, Light Energy, Electric Energy, Nuclear Energy, Radiation Energy, Dark Energy, Vacuum Zero-Point Energy...
Each form of energy corresponds to a branch of Spiritual Energy.
Therefore, there are Professional Templates such as Kinetic Stringer, Thermal Stringer, and Optical Stringer, perfected by different abilities, unleashing the power of Spiritual Energy.
Ji Xinghuo hardly hesitated.
He had only one choice: to tune to Electric Energy and become an "Electric Field Stringer."
The method for tuning was very simple.
All that was needed was to release a Creation Energy Element Ability at the same time as releasing Spiritual Energy.
There are many tuning abilities for an Electric Field Stringer: "Discharge," "Thunderbolt Hand," "Lightning Arc," and so on.
The best is "Electrostatic Field."
In the professional template of an Electric Field Stringer, the Electrostatic Field is one of the two most important core abilities.
While maintaining Spiritual Energy, Ji Xinghuo activated the Electrostatic Field.
Thin streaks of lightning danced in the air, overlapping with the surrounding waves of Spiritual Energy, instantaneously causing a violent reaction. At the center, with his body as the nucleus, an electric field was created with a radius of thirty meters, much smaller than the diameter of a Fourth Level Electrostatic Field!
Countless lightning streaks, fine as hairs, flashed and flowed through the air, revolving around Ji Xinghuo, forming a visible electric field.
The shape of this electric field was identical to that of a magnetic field.
It had two poles, both located close together within the Magnetic Spirit Star Core in his chest.
Streams of subtle electric current stretched out from one pole, looping through half a circle towards the other pole, and then returning to Ji Xinghuo’s body. Enveloped in the electric field, the air ionized, giving off a burnt smell, and the sight was breathtakingly spectacular.
Each of these currents, each charge, was Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power.
Spiritual Energy had transformed Star Power into electric current.
Before, Ji Xinghuo had fused with the Electrostatic Field, already able to convert Star Power into charges, but with Spiritual Energy, he took it further, transforming a substantial amount of Star Power into numerous charges at a higher efficiency. Under the influence of the electric field, these charges moved in one direction, forming a high-voltage current.
By controlling the current, electric energy could be released, achieving lethality.
Ji Xinghuo found that he hardly needed to think much to control it. With just a thought, Spiritual Energy Lightning would flow according to his wishes.
The currents gathered to form larger bolts of lightning.
They could also spread out to cover an area or retreat close to his body, becoming a wall sparkling with electric light.
The electric field could be strengthened or weakened, changing its shape according to his will.
"The response is so quick!"
Ji Xinghuo was amazed.
Although he had been able to control lightning before, the experience now was completely different.
Before, when he controlled lightning, it was through a vague and generalized way; how effective it would be, how far it would reach, all depended on his judgment and was laborious;
Now, everything Spiritual Energy did within the electric field was entirely under his control, precise, fast, and effortless.
The role of Spiritual Energy was far more than just controlling currents.
Ji Xinghuo canceled the electric field and reached out towards the weapon rack in the Cultivation Room. Several weapons on the rack flew into the air.
Knife, sword, spear, axe – any weapon forged from metal was under the control of Ji Xinghuo, flying around him, getting faster and faster, each weapon following a distinct trajectory, intersecting paths without colliding, a dizzying display.
With a focused glance, Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic field suddenly intensified.
The weapons, in mid-high-speed flight, began to heat up, turning red, and gradually melted into molten metal, constantly deforming and stretching, before recongealing into dozens of sharp sword blades.
