Chapter 17 What is Word Spirit?
In the fourth century BC, Empedorocco first proposed the theory of the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire. Later, Plato supplemented it with the theory of characteristics, filling in the properties of each element, namely dry, cold, hot and wet.

However, elements alone are not enough, something is needed to promote the transformation of elements, and this is the spirit in the general public's cognition.

The spirit transcends the existence of the four elements and does not exist in the material world, so it can manipulate any tangible element.

This is the example Seven gave when he was explaining the word spirit to Lu Mingfei.

Very vivid, right?

Seven's understanding of the Word Spirit is even deeper than Lu Mingfei's. The Word Spirit is produced by the dragon genes in the soul and blood. As a special ability that Lu Mingfei is born with, the principle should be the mind's unique control over the elements.

Then, according to the different loads that the release of the Word Spirits caused to Lu Mingfei, the Word Spirits were numbered from low to high.

There are indeed clear divisions in the attributes of word spirits.

Lu Mingfei suddenly wondered whether these famous people in the history of his hometown really had some relationship with dragons, or they were beings like Chu Zihang.

"I see. This must be the problem."

Lu Mingfei took out another piece of paper and began to write and draw on the table.

In the past, learning the power of words was too easy. In addition, he was the only individual in that world, so Chu Zihang did not think deeply about the conditions he lacked.

Not everyone can use all the words.

Perhaps in this world, it is most normal to use only one kind of word spirit.

Lu Mingfei recalled the abnormal events surrounding him and always felt that he was the most abnormal.

Maybe it really is a special individual, worthy of a place as an Ancient Dragon in Monster Hunter.

"Let's set up a few reference groups first, and then practice the higher-level Word Spirits. Senior brother's spirit should be able to hold up until then."

He casually wrote down four low-level words belonging to earth, water, wind and fire. Thinking that Chu Zihang's father might be a wind-type word spirit, Lu Mingfei handed a wind-type word spirit report to Chu Zihang first.

Yin Lei, a low-sequence word spirit, has the effect of being able to control a ball of air to compress and detonate. Lu Mingfei felt that the reason why this thing was recorded as Yin Lei by Long Wen must be because the way it was used was too insidious.

Surprisingly, this speculation based on kinship was not confirmed.

"Same as before?"

"Ah."

"Then change one."

Lu Mingfei handed the next Word Spirit to Chu Zihang without showing any disappointment, as if he thought such a result was commonplace.

Chu Zihang blinked, understood what Lu Mingfei meant, and then took over the words and began to chant.

Although he had experienced the devastating loss of his biological father and the help given by Lu Mingfei had not been effective many times, and he was somewhat disappointed, he did not lose his mind.

Moreover, the other party's calm behavior also involuntarily soothed the uneasiness in Chu Zihang's heart.

Blazing Sun, a low-sequence word spirit, can release strong light of four thousand lumens or more within the coverage area.

The power is not that great, just enough to make people feel hot, but it is very functional and has great potential in sterilization.

It can also be used as a flash bomb that can be detonated at any time during battle. Lu Mingfei has used this trick to dodge many monsters, and the effect is very good.

Chu Zihang chanted seriously and slowly, concentrating his attention on the words in his hand. This was different from before when his spirit was blocked by invisible things after reaching a certain level.

In the surrounding atmosphere, sporadic points of light began to flicker.

The blood flowing in the body seemed to be inspired, turning from a hanging river into a torrent, driving the heart to beat faster.

His spirit drifted farther and farther with the distant chanting, away from the house that sheltered from the wind and rain, away from the clouds that cast rain, away from the disturbances from the world, until - he saw a blazing white sun hanging high in the sky.

"stop!"

With a light snap of his fingers, the high sun disappeared from his sight and Chu Zihang opened his eyes.

In the pupils that were so bright that even incandescent light could not match them, there was a room dyed white by the light.

"This is--"

Chu Zihang closed his eyes subconsciously.

"Word Spirit - Blazing Sun."

Lu Mingfei pulled out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on his nose, clapping his hands: "Congratulations, you succeeded."

Although his initial training included being run over by Seven with a jeep, being whipped on the buttocks by Seven with a cane, and being kicked off a cliff by Seven and forced to transform, he never heard any words of encouragement.
But the situation is different now. Chu Zihang is not going to be dragged to challenge a monster dozens of meters high the next day. Lu Mingfei will not exploit Chu Zihang by means of squeezing him to the limit, nor will he be stingy with his praise.

The days of stress are tough.

Lu Mingfei knew this very well.

"Whoo~"

Chu Zihang exhaled, and the sweat from his palms revealed his nervousness.

The illusory sun floating above his head also disappeared into thin air as his mind relaxed.

"Thank you."

Putting the slightly wrinkled paper on the table, Chu Zihang said gratefully.

Even though he knew from Lu Mingfei's kindly-remarked analysis that the power of this spiritual power was not very high, a successful release of it finally allowed Chu Zihang to see the hope of success.

"Don't be impatient, drink some water, and then try this."

Lu Mingfei smiled and took a sip of the coffee that had been reheated to the appropriate temperature, then handed over another piece of paper.

It is recorded here that the Word Spirit is the mid-sequence 'Chi', which is considered an advanced version of 'Chi Ri'.

It doesn't have the high brightness of 'Blazing Sun', but the fire element it controls is more violent and has enough power to kill the human body.

"Can I have more than one Word Spirit?"

Chu Zihang raised a question. The only word spirit he had seen directly was the kingship that Lu Mingfei used to hold up the rain curtain and crush Deadpool.

"Yes, but because my knowledge of Word Spirits has always been limited to my own individual self, I am afraid it will take some time to study your actual situation, Senior Brother."

Lu Mingfei gave some precautions beforehand, and then began to explain how the Word Spirit should be advanced.

"The essence of the Word Spirit can be understood as the control and manipulation of the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire that make up the world. In this process, the spirit can drive all the elements and merge with them to achieve the release, amplification, or advancement of the Word Spirit."

"So when using Word Spirits, depending on the user's mental strength and other factors, the concentration of dragon blood in the blood may affect the advancement of low-sequence Word Spirits to high-sequence Word Spirits."

"How far you can go depends on you, brother."

"I understand."
