“Now, transfer your Lightning Strike to the wand and merge it with the Fire Burst,” Feng Zhoulong smiled and told Mo Fan. He could not wait to see Mo Fan’s reaction.

Mo Fan followed the instructions.

The Fire and Lightning Elements were both unwavering and unstable, and were quite destructive, too. It was normally impossible to combine them.

If they could merge different Elements, they could just ask two Mages with different Elements to combine their spells to achieve Magic Fusion.

When Mages of different Elements Cast their spells simultaneously, the spells would either trigger an Elemental explosion or nullify one another.

Mo Fan cautiously transferred the Lightning Strike to the Fire Burst on the wand. He felt like he was throwing a match into a house that had been filled with combustible gas.

He was prepared that he might injure himself, but the process was surprisingly smooth.

The lightning wrapped around the Phoenix Flame like strings. The red and purple intertwined like two different liquids that had been poured together. They were not rejecting nor clashing with one another!

Mo Fan’s eyes glittered, overwhelmed by excitement.

They combined!

The Fire Burst and Lightning Strike merged into one!

“Go!” Mo Fan fired the Fusioned spell at the dummy target in front of him!

The spell traveled as a strange projectile and landed on the dummy target. Flames and lightning spiraled up and devoured the target.

Mo Fan was overjoyed.

Even though Mo Fan was only using the spell on a dummy target, he could sense both the burning effect of the Fire Burst and the paralyzing effect of the Lightning Strike. In addition to that, the lightning had sped up the flames to burn the target even faster!

“See that? The spell has inherited the effects of both spells and even produces a new effect. The effects are different when different Elements are combined!” Feng Zhoulong declared proudly.

“It retained the damage of the two spells and gave it an additional effect!” Mo Fan smiled.

“No, no, no; once you get the hang of it, combining the Lightning and Fire Elements should make the spell stronger. You just aren’t familiar with it, you need to practice it more,” Feng Zhoulong chided him.

It will make the spell stronger? This is the gospel mankind needs!

Without special factors like Soul Seeds, the strength of every Mage’s spell was fixed. The problem was that not every Mage in the world could own a Soul Seed.

Once the technique of Magic Fusion was popularized, every Mage at the Intermediate Level would be stronger without needing lots of resources!

It was very impressive research! No wonder Feng Zhoulong said it was a huge step forward for the Magic Civilization!

“I know you don’t like the wand, so I’ll change it to a glove for you,” Feng Zhoulong said. The look of a scientist watching his lab rat appeared in his eyes again.

“Make it cooler. By the way, is it going to be expensive? It will be difficult to popularize it if it’s not affordable,” Mo Fan suddenly realized.

Every Mage wanted a Cultivation Tool since it could speed up their cultivation speed, but Cultivation Tools were very expensive as rare Soul Essences, perfect containers, and advanced technology were needed to produce them!

“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to make a fortune from this, I’m just helping mankind. Give me some time and every Mage have access to the technique without having to spend a cent!” Feng Zhoulong declared, putting his hands on his waist.

“Mo Fan, the Magic Fusion only requires a medium, whether it be a pair of gloves, a wand, or a ring. Any Mage can simply work hard and practice it. In the past, we assumed different Elements couldn’t combine with other Elements, but we just hadn’t find the right way of doing so. You saw that even two unstable Elements like the Fire and Lightning can combine into one,” Sharjah spoke up.

Mo Fan nodded. It was a great breakthrough!

“As a matter of fact, every Element is like a child. It’s easy for children to have a fight, but as long as you balance and control them, they are just Stars in your Spiritual World. It’s possible for Mages to combine their Elements without relying on a medium,” Feng Zhoulong added firmly.

Mo Fan had never thought about it, thus he never gave it a try.

After all, every Mage was taught that different Elements were unable to merge with one another. Trying to combine them was like committing suicide.

That had turned out to be wrong!

The Magic Civilization was improving slowly, through learning and exploring. Mo Fan had great respect for academics like Feng Zhoulong.

A powerful Mage could only fend off demon creatures for a short period of their lifetime, but if they could discover a new domain, it would bring everlasting benefits to their descendants!

Mo Fan was proud to be the first person to try out Magic Fusion. He believed many people would have access to the ability in the near future!

Feng Zhoulong kept his promise. He worked overnight and modified the wand into a pair of gloves.

Sharjah was also involved and made sure the style of the gloves was not outdated. It was a pair of fashionable gloves made from a comfortable material. Mo Fan did not feel uncomfortable wearing them.

“Old Feng, do you have more of these so I can give them to my friends?” Mo Fan smiled.

He was feeling more confident in his strength after obtaining the Phoenix Flame. He felt unstoppable now that he had learned Magic Fusion, too!

“It’s the only one I have. We never planned to rely on the mediums. Once we finalize the process, we will popularize the technique to use Magic Fusion. The gloves were given to you so you could try Magic Fusion. I doubt anything will go wrong, but since we are going to popularize it, we need someone to find out all the bugs first,” Feng Zhoulong told him.

Mo Fan was left speechless. In the end, he was just a lab rat. It was not a privilege for the beta testers like him!

“By the way, now that you can use Magic Fusion, you must keep it confidential in case scum like the Black Vatican abuse it. You shouldn’t tell anyone for now. If someone asks about it, just tell them it’s a special effect of a Heaven Seed,” Feng Zhoulong warned him.

“Got it!” Mo Fan nodded in agreement.
