Evolution game, nothing more than that!

In fact, it wasn't just the two girls who were worried about Morgan.

Just after this meeting with Morgan, Merlin found Yi Shen that afternoon and warned him not to easily believe anything Morgan said, and it would be better not to have too much contact with her.

"This woman is as dangerous as a snake and scorpion. It's definitely not a good thing to be targeted by her!"

The Kalashtar wizard said so.

"Don't worry, I know the importance of this. And even if I'm willing, my female companions won't agree!"

Yi Shen smiled and replied.

"..."

Merlin looked at Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai not far away, and felt a little relieved.

Although he and Yi Shen had just met, after confirming that Yi Shen and the others were truly helping King Arthur, he didn't want to see such a powerful helper being harmed by Morgan, the vicious woman.

Well, in his eyes, being seduced by Morgan to become her lover was not a good outcome.

Even if it was a wizard, that woman had the means to control him little by little, and finally turn him into a puppet to realize her ambitions.

Fortunately, Yi Shen seemed to be very sober, and he was accompanied by two female companions who were as capable and beautiful as Morgan. It seemed that nothing would go wrong for now.

……

Although Yi Shen, Merlin, and the two girls were all very wary of Morgan, given the latter's identity as a princess, no one could do anything to her, let alone stop her actions.

So, in the following time, Morgan would come to Yi Shen whenever he had the chance, try every possible way to contact him, and then try to seduce him in various ways.

However, Yi Shen remained unmoved, and with Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai following him almost all the time, Morgan was never able to succeed.

This made her a little angry, but she couldn't help but become more interested in conquering Yi Shen.

Later on, she even regarded this battle of wits and courage as a game and gradually began to enjoy it.

And Yi Shen did not refuse such a "game".

After all, every time Morgan came to see him, it was an opportunity to communicate magic with him.

Many things that were not explained in detail in the first conversation were learned by Yi Shen in subsequent exchanges, further enriching Yi Shen's understanding of the magic in this world.

During this process, he also used the powerful computing power of AI to quickly integrate the knowledge of the two systems and perfect his "harmony between man and nature" route. After several weeks, he performed the technique of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth for the first time without relying on any external formation.

Summon Rain Cloud

This is the name of this magic.

That’s right, it was the same move that Yi Shen used to resist the satellite light spear attack, except that it was changed from a rune formation to a magic that did not require advance preparation.

Its essence is also very simple, which is to replace the original runes and formations with spells, visualization, and gestures, embed one's own thunder elemental power into the external electromagnetic environment, and then leverage the latter, in a similar way to using a small force to move a large object, to control the huge energy of heaven and earth that far exceeds one's own energy limit, and finally shape heavy rain clouds.

With just a slight modification, this move can be smoothly transformed into [Summon Thundercloud], accumulating electric charges in the created cloud and condensing lightning. With just a thought, real natural thunder can be struck down, and its power far exceeds the elemental lightning released by Yi Shen's personal strength.

The most crucial thing is that although this technique borrows from the magic system of this world in principle, the power of heaven and earth it leverages is the most basic electricity and magnetism, rather than the heaven and earth Yuanqi/Dayuan magic power that changes with the different world environments. Therefore, it has extremely strong versatility and can basically be used in all worlds.

At this point, Yi Shen has finally taken the crucial first step on the path to the last piece of the puzzle of his own strength and the "harmony between man and nature" he seeks outside!

"His strength has increased again!"

Morgan stood in front of the window, looking at the thunderclouds that suddenly gathered outside, and was somewhat surprised at Yi Shen's speed of progress.

She could feel that although the thundercloud created by magic was filled with Yi Shen's will, it unexpectedly did not cause too large a scale of large source magic fluctuations.

This was obviously not normal British system magic, but the effect of combining British system magic with his own magic, which Yi Shen had mentioned to her before.

How long has it been like this?

Such a genius made her want to get him even more!

However, when she thought of this, she couldn't help but frown.

Although the other party did not refuse to communicate with her during this period, it was all limited to magical exchanges and there was no intention of developing in an ambiguous direction.

Especially those two women, who always followed her around and got in the way, preventing her from finding any opportunity.

They definitely did it on purpose!

"That damn Merlin must have said something to them!"

She thought so instinctively.

After all, Merlin has been against her for a long time. This time, when he saw that she was trying to win over and seduce Yi Shen, it was expected that he would step in to stop her.

But even though you know it, you will still feel unhappy.

"Looks like we have to give that old guy more trouble!"

She muttered to herself angrily, flicked her sleeves and left the window.

In fact, Merlin, who was being talked about by Morgan, was also looking at the thundercloud outside the window.

But he thought deeper than Morgan.

He also noticed that Yi Shen's magic did not cause much disturbance to the source of magic power, but instead leveraged another kind of power that existed between heaven and earth.

"Is that... the electromagnetic field that Yi mentioned?"

The concept of electromagnetic field does not exist in this era. The reason why Merlin knew this term was because Yi Shen told him during their previous communication.

It was then that he realized that electricity and magnetism, which he had always seen as two different things, were actually one and the same in essence.

The electromagnetic field formed by the two together is just like the great source magic that he is familiar with, covering every corner of the world, omnipresent and all-encompassing.

However, Merlin was very confused. Why did Yi Shen abandon the more intuitive and easier to mobilize large source magic power and instead use this electromagnetic field as the energy source for magic?

Is it because the most basic form of the opponent's magic is thunder?

No, Merlin didn't think so.

After all, what is needed to pry open the great source of magic is willpower. Even if Yi Shen's own magic is to transform his own willpower into magic in the form of thunder, this does not affect his direct use of willpower to pry open the great source of magic from the outside world. The two are not an either-or relationship.

So, is there any harm in mobilizing the great source of magic power?

Merlin thought of this immediately.

Could it be that the other party does not think that the source of magic power is a reliable source of energy, so they find another way and find another more stable source of power?

But the Great Source Magic has existed in this world for tens of millions of years, so how can it be unreliable?

Unless... the other party has seen or experienced a scene where there is no great source of magic.

Is there any difference between the environment in Eastern Seris and that in Britain?

Or……

Merlin thought about the fact that he had not predicted the existence of Yi Shen and the other two and the dragon, and an extremely bold guess emerged in his mind.

Chapter 185: The Art of Blessing

Although Merlin had a bolder guess about the origins of Yi Shen and others, he did not take the initiative to point it out.

After all, origins are not important. As long as Yi Shen and the others will not be enemies with King Arthur and are kind to Camelot, Merlin has no reason to reject them no matter where they come from.

He just felt it was a pity. If his guess was true, Yi Shen and the other two probably wouldn't stay in Camelot for long. After all, they were just passers-by.

Yi Shen didn't know that Merlin had almost seen through his and his companions' origins, and all this was just because of the choice he made when creating magic.

If he knew, he would probably have to sigh that truly smart people are so terrifying that they can guess to this extent just based on such a few clues!

He knew nothing about this, but was still immersed in the joy of his growing strength and devoted himself to the next step of research with great passion.

——[Summoning Rain Clouds] and [Summoning Thunder Clouds] were only the beginning. If he wanted to truly achieve the state of “harmony between man and nature” that he envisioned, he needed to be able to leverage and pull the power between heaven and earth at all times.

The technology required here is not as simple as just modifying a formation.

It can be said that this is equivalent to making Yi Shen have a permanent spell on his body, which is in an activated state at all times, attracting and mobilizing external energy.

Fortunately, he also has someone to learn from in this regard - the blessings of Gawain and Lancelot.

As mentioned before, the essence of this kind of blessing is a kind of willpower that has undergone a qualitative change. After being solidified, it is attached to the human body, like a continuously activated blessing spell that constantly attracts the great source of magic power from the outside world.

However, this attracted power was not released as magic like a wizard, but was directly integrated into the knight's body, turning into their physical fitness and terrifying strength that surpassed that of ordinary people.

Of course, for Yi Shen, a blessing that can only attract large-source magic power is of no use. He also needs to transform this blessing and replace its attracting and leveraging power with a broader source.

However, before taking this step, he still had a more important problem to solve - how to obtain this qualitative change in willpower?

Although his willpower also underwent a qualitative change after visualization, this qualitative change was temporary and could not be maintained for a long time. The willpower could not exist for a long time either and would disappear once the visualization stopped.

However, the blessing that Gawain and Lancelot have is something solid and can exist almost forever.

The difference between the two is like that between sand and quartz. Both are silicon dioxide, but one is loose and flies away when the wind blows, while the other is condensed and harder than steel.

The transformation of sand into quartz requires the burning of high-temperature flames. The same is true here, where some kind of "flame" is needed to carry out this transformation.

The key lies in "faith" and "symbol".

Yes, after absorbing the magical knowledge obtained from Merlin and Morgan, and after countless calculations by AI, Yi Shen confirmed this.

The meaning of the symbol is easy to understand. Just like Yi Shen’s visualization, it is essentially to give the power of will special properties and anchor its "form". It also determines what kind of power the final blessing draws on and what effect it produces.

The power of faith is the key to the long-term existence of this qualitative change of will.

As mentioned before, in Yi Shen's elemental vision, the power of faith formed by fanatical thoughts of faith appeared like a flame. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but in the formation of this blessing, the power of faith did play a role like a flame.

The essence of the power of faith comes from the thoughts in the hearts of countless people. They are fanatical, chaotic, and have a common direction. When the power of will transformed by specific symbols comes into contact with these powers of faith, it will be like ore falling into a furnace, constantly burning away impurities, shattering the unstable parts, and leaving behind the purest and most solid essence.

When every bit of this willpower is tempered to the point where it can no longer be "melted" or "decomposed" and becomes unshakable, the qualitative change is completed. When applied to a person, it can become a permanent blessing or curse.

In short, this is a process of "tempering steel through hundreds of times".

So, where does the power of faith come from?

Either borrow from God, or you yourself are close to God and possess your own power of faith.

The former was the method used by the hermit who blessed Gawain, and the latter was what the Lady of the Lake did.

But for Yi Shen, he neither believes in God nor has anyone believe in him, so naturally he cannot obtain the power of faith.

But he is not without other options.

"The role of faith, ultimately, is to act as a 'furnace fire' to forge the power of will and transform it. If we can find another power that can also have an effect on the power of will, we can naturally replace it."

Yi Shen thought so.

And the alternative power he chose was none other than elemental power!

The thunder elemental power in his body is itself transformed from the power of his will by the Eye of God. The elements formed after the transformation can continue to fuse with the power of will and obtain changes in nature.

So, since they can fuse, they can also resist and even be "calcined".

After trying several times, Yi Shen found a way to transform elemental power into "thunder fire" to forge and transform the power of will he visualized.

During this process, most of the willpower will be shattered and integrated into this illusory "thunder and fire", enhancing the power of the elemental force, leaving only a small part of the most solid and condensed willpower to remain until the end.

This is equivalent to using one's own will as fuel to burn oneself, without being restricted by the power of faith. It is a true method that does not require external help.

Yi Shen used "thunder fire" to calcine and accumulate the highly condensed power of qualitative change will, while using the thunder element power that swallowed up all the "impurities" to cleanse his body and integrate it with the cellular will of cells throughout his body, without delaying both the internal and external paths.

In the end, he spent seven days accumulating enough qualitative change willpower, and used it as material to cast his first "blessing" on himself - electromagnetic blessing.

The effect is just as its name suggests, that is, in an environment with an electromagnetic field, it absorbs all external electromagnetic forces at all times and integrates them into itself.

The source of power for this blessing can be said to be extremely broad. Electric fields, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic waves can all be absorbed by Yi Shen.

He can even absorb the energy of sunlight like Gawain to increase his own strength.

——After all, light is electromagnetic waves, and sunlight is also within the scope of this blessing.

But there are gains and losses.

The wide range of blessings naturally leads to a weakening of the amplification strength.

If it were under normal circumstances, the increase Yi Shen would obtain would be far less than the three times that of Gawain at noon, and would even be a bit weaker than Lancelot's fairy blessing.

There is no way. Compared with the world's unique source of magic, relying solely on absorbing electromagnetic forces is indeed no match.

However, this disadvantage is only temporary.

What makes Yi Shen superior to Gawain and Lancelot is that he is both the recipient and the giver of blessings. If one blessing is not enough, he can just add a few more. Accumulating little by little, sooner or later he will be able to control the magnetic field of the planet with just a thought.

Chapter 186 Team Strengthening

After successfully setting a blessing for himself, Yi Shen has mastered a method of strengthening that does not rely on the evolution game.
