''As expected…''


    As I flipped the book open and took a look at the first page, I could confirm that thenguage that the book was written in was equally as abnormal as the blood I found inside of it…


    Previously, I wasn''t able to take a good look at what written inside of it as I wasn''t in control of my hand which flipped the book too fast, not to mention the freaky situation, but now that I took a good look at it, it wasn''t hard to tell that this wasn''t the Lost Realm''smonnguage.


    Instead, the weirdnguage appeared to be a mixed one, almost half of the characters were indeed from themonnguage but the other half seemed toe from an unknown source, yet…


    ''As freaky as usual…''


    For some reason, I was able to understand this weird mix, just l could do the same with themonnguage, but the situation waspletely different. It seemed like all the stuff that had to do with dragons was weird almost every time I chanced upon them…


    Themonnguage was given to me by the memories of native Ian, but the other one that was used in thisnguage blend probably had something to do with the same origin of the blood that was found on its words, dragons.


    Unlike the fantasy stories which always had its main characters'' receive an Omninguage understanding ability, it wasn''t that easy for us yers in the game as we only knew what our native character knew before us, so the only exnation was that my dragon bloodline was the reason I was able to understand the words written within this weird book.


    ''Draconian…''


    It didn''t take me more than an additional page flip to confirm my theory, the writer of the book wrote an introductory page about thenguage blend which he referred to as ''Draconian Tongue'', which was often used as the secret code between all half-dragons.


    The following pages didn''t bring any more surprises as what was written in them was none other than an ''Elemental Control'' technique, which was natural as it was a book found in an ''Elemental Control'' library, of course, that''s only if the grade of the technique was excluded.


    As I reached the middle in the book that should have a torn page within it, I found no such things as every single page seemed to bepletely intact, the manual was once again getting weirder and weirder...


    Naturally, the main question was why was even such a manual that contained some weird blendnguage that no human could fully understand in the secret library of the Elemental de Sect, but there was no one to answer it, so I could only sigh after I had read the book in full.


    The whole reading sessionsted a somewhat long hour, which was caused by my familiarity with thenguage that my eye could inherently understand, but it seemed like the Dragon Ancestor''s remark regarding the manual was indeed correct.


    Not only was the ''Elemental Control'' technique that lurked in the pages of the manual a top-notch one when it came to speed and flexibility, but even it''s ''Elemental Manifestation'' was a grandiose one!


    The essence of an ''Elemental Control'' technique that used the true power granted to 3rd stage elemental practitioners was the ''Elemental Manifestation''! The grander it is, the more the power it can exhibit!


    The process of elemental practice was all in steady ordered steps, if the first two stages'' process could be described as a simple ''organizing a ce for elements'' and ''making elements your buddy'', then the third stage could be simrly described as ''letting your buddy out and giving it life''!


    As I had already obtained the ability to ''let the buddy out'', all that was left was to ''give it life'' and the critical step that was needed to achieve that was ''Elemental Control'' techniques.


    Although some particr techniques had better effects on some elements inparison to other elements, the techniques of ''Elemental Control'' surpassed the point of being personalized towards an element, unlike ''Elemental Arts'', which made it so that there was no hindering barrier of more practice to multi-attributed people like me.


    Naturally, that was what made them simple andplex at the same time, one only needed to carve a flow channel on his elemental conductor to be able to ''give life'' to his elements which seemed very simple, yet the carving of flow channels needed to follow certain steps with certain orders to produce a certain shape which was theplex part. Furthermore, the passing of elements through the channels was another step that could only be done in certain ways before elements could reallye to life. All of this made it that a manual was necessary for a 3rd stage elemental practitioner to tap into the true potential of his powers.


    The elements that are ''given life'' using certain ''Elemental Control'' techniques would have different ''lives'' or ''Elemental Manifestations'' to be exact. For example, some could shape their elements into living creatures like eagles, snakes, and so on, while others could shape them into living weapons, like flying swords or whips.


    Even techniques that had the same type of ''Elemental Manifestation'' would still produce different breeds or shapes, this was what truly made every technique unique in its own way!


    All this knowledge was obviously from books that I read in the imperial library of the Lightning Empire, which had its own techniques as well that served as a good example.


    As for the Draconian ''Elemental Control'' technique that I just finished reading, its ''Elemental Manifestation'' was none other than the ''Winged Green Dragon''...


    Obviously, the power of such manifestation was not normal and just this point made it a top tier technique on its own, however, the first thought that popped in my head wasn''t to immediately carve the flow channels on my elemental cells, but something much more outrageous!


    ''If it''s with that, maybe…''


    Originally, having already had a few ''Elemental Control'' techniques which I memorized from the imperial library, I was just waiting to reach the stable period since I advanced to the 3rd stage, which I reached quite recently, about the time the demon invasion war started, but then I was given the chance to take a look at several more, which only meant I had more choices to pick from.


    Yet, the emergence of the Draconian technique instantly made it useless for me to ponder on the other techniques, but the reason I started to read it this early was also none other than the emergence of the ''Knowledge Processing Center'' that opened up a lot of possibilities for me.


    The possibilities ofbining techniques!


    Even for a so-called great genius as myself, whether that would be possible or not would only be proven with time, even attempting it would require more than just time, test subjects for instance would be needed no matter what.


    Since I wouldn''t gamble on self-experimentation, 3rd stage elemental practitioners didn''t grow on trees, such research would only stay on the theoretical level, which made it sense for me to give up on that endeavor, but now that such a great tool was given to me by the system, I could…


    ''Let''s see if this thing really is a supeputer…''


    As I put away the Draconian manual in my hand into the spatial ring, I took out a rather old book that I was very familiar with...
