Although it was a disastrous start, Su Yang calmly accepted the reality. He knew that the deed was done and complaining was useless. Now he should think about how to improve his strength and survive in this dangerous place.

Su Yang couldn't help but recall what happened when he activated the bracelet and the knowledge the materialized butterfly had told him. "There are only two ways to enhance mental power: combat and serendipitous encounters. It's likely because combat requires a calm mind to judge the situation, which trains mental power. Serendipitous encounters probably involve encountering things you've never known before, which enhances your cognition and thus strengthens your mental power." Su Yang quickly grasped the core idea. "To put it simply, mental power should be divided into two parts. The calmer a person is, the higher the strength of their mental power, and the greater the actual power they can unleash. The more things and knowledge a person has, the broader their mental power, and the wider the range of connections they can activate their special abilities." Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but call out to his bracelet, "Butterfly, butterfly, come and help me understand if this is true." The butterfly responded, "I didn't expect you to be so insightful, grasping the mystery so quickly."

Su Yang asked, "I understand the strength, which is simply the magnitude of its power. But what exactly does the related range refer to?"

"It's not actually called the scope of association," Butterfly replied. "To be precise, it should be called the scope of influence."

"The scope of the impact?" Su Yang asked, puzzled.

"For example, the cloud element's characteristic is change. Literally, it can only affect the cloud element, controlling the cloud to attack or defend. However, if the mental power of the person actually controlling it is broad enough, the cloud's changeable characteristics can be applied to other things, such as water and fire," Butterfly patiently explained.

“I understand,” Su Yang said. “Actually, the power and range of use of elemental properties are affected by mental power. However, elemental properties are different. Although some can be used interchangeably, there are still fundamental differences. Therefore, a person’s combat strength is mainly measured by three aspects: the strength of mental power, the level of the bracelet, and the elemental properties, right?”

“Yes, for example, the fire elemental Yizi comes from temperature and its characteristic is destruction. It cannot communicate with creation, but they can be used together. On this island, you should be able to see all kinds of ferocious beasts with different elemental characteristics. If you want to survive, fighting is a must,” Butterfly replied.

"It seems that fighting is the only option left. There's nothing we can do about it. But the most urgent thing is to find a shelter. We can't just sleep in the wilderness." With that, Su Yang set out to find a suitable place to serve as a shelter.

On the way to find shelter, Su Yang suddenly realized that he didn't know "Butterfly's" name, so he asked, "I just remembered, I haven't asked your name yet."

“To be precise, I don’t have a fixed name. I’ve only had four owners. The first one was the first person to discover me. He called me Druka, which roughly means ethereal. The second, third, and fourth owners were all humans from another world, just like you. But they passed away before they could name me. I’ve heard you call me Butterfly, so you can continue to call me by that name,” Butterfly said, fluttering up and down.

“Butterfly is too stiff. Although I’ve never named anyone before, you’re not exactly human, so let’s just call you a small animal or insect. How about I call you Butterfly? It’s easier to pronounce and sounds more anthropomorphic,” Su Yang replied after a moment’s thought.

"Sure, I have no objection, but you need to make sure you survive first. This is not only for your own sake, but also a test for me."

"I understand," Su Yang replied firmly. Before even entering the human realm, this other world was incredibly dangerous, and Su Yang had to survive. Just as Su Yang solidified his will to live, purple light flowed around the bracelet. Within a hazy purple glow, the bracelet transformed into a stream of light, flowing from Su Yang's wrist to his index finger, slowly changing into the shape of a ring. "What's going on? How can the bracelet change shape?" Su Yang asked, somewhat surprised. "Isn't using elemental abilities a prerequisite for having an elemental bracelet?"

“That’s because other bracelets can’t change, but I’m an X-level bracelet,” Die’er seemed a little proud. “I didn’t realize that your mental strength had suddenly broken through to level 2 just now. It’s because you broke through to level 1, the entry level, that I have the ability to transform.”

"Can an X-level bracelet change its form? And what's with the level 2 thing? I feel like I didn't do anything," Su Yang was full of questions.

“Bracelets below level X have fixed shapes and prescribed styles. However, level X bracelets are naturally formed over hundreds of years and do not have fixed style characteristics. But since I have the cloud element attribute, I can naturally use the transformation properties to change myself. As for your improvement, it may be related to your experiences and understanding in your original world. Perhaps a thought or idea you had without realizing it improved your mental strength in the current world’s rating,” Die’er patiently explained.

Su Yang was completely confused. He understood the bracelet turning into a ring, but he didn't understand the improvement in mental strength at all. "Forget it, let's focus on finding a place that can serve as a shelter. We can study these things later." With that, Su Yang focused on paying attention to his surroundings.
