Every strike of silver lightning falls, and the point of impact is a dancing, burning pale flame.

A terrifying flame that can burn sand to ashes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Ink Orchid is diligently practicing the Touch of Origin Fire.

Admittedly, in just 10 years, it has transcended elemental systems, successfully combining the Touch of Silver Light and Origin Fire abilities into one, and has already mastered it thoroughly, reaching the final stage of deep understanding and condensing divine patterns.

Dragon Cypress will eventually have to practice this divine pattern ability too, study it by observation, and using Super Brain ability for continuous scrutiny.

Dragon Cypress practices abilities by going over them once or twice, then pauses to think, deducing in his mind, constantly trying and adjusting.

Ink Orchid is completely different, it practices abilities without engaging the mind, or rather, it doesn't need to engage the mind, it follows intuition, focused and dedicated, tirelessly training, guided by a super strong elemental talent, it subconsciously keeps adjusting and optimizing.

It's very obvious that not using the mind results in efficiency that is many times higher...

Dragon Cypress has continually observed for over a month, using Super Brain to estimate, Ink Orchid's efficiency is about three to four times his own.

This implies that in the future he would need three to four decades to condense the Touch of Origin Fire divine pattern.

This further implies that during the King-Level stage of growth and evolution, Ink Orchid's overall rate is three to four times his own.

Everyone's life span is sufficiently abundant, and the number of abilities is adequately plentiful. Ink Orchid truly can follow the design of Linnan Divine Tree, at 3-age period, the Insect King condenses three divine patterns, at 4-age period, four divine patterns, at 5-age period, five divine patterns, and so on, gradually becoming terrifying...

...

Under the gaze of Dragon Cypress, Wisteria, and Purple Three Leaf, Ink Orchid successfully condenses the Touch of Origin Fire divine pattern.

Next is relatively simple, Thunderfire Dual System, Thunder Explosion divine pattern.

...

With the assistance of the Dominating Throne, Wisteria evolves into a High-Level Warrior, returns to the Purple Tung Insect Nation, and begins basic physical training under the guidance of Linnan Divine Tree.

Silver Cypress, year 147, spring,

Purple Three Leaf evolves into Mid-Level Warrior, returns to Xianglan Mountain, and starts learning farming knowledge with Fragrant Cypress.

Dragon Cypress finally successfully combines the Touch of Silver Light with Hydra Power.

After a year's time of skill mastery, smoothly incorporating Vortex Beast Devouring, condensing divine pattern.

The essence is that the Vortex Beast Devouring divine pattern ability has evolved and strengthened.

Accordingly, the condensed divine pattern is based on the head-top vortex beast design, adding a touch of silver halo to the 12 tendrils of the vortex beast.

Dragon Cypress slightly adjusts his daily routine.

Practicing Flash Strike ability diligently during the day.

Skillfully mastering Vortex Beast Devouring at night.

...

Silver Cypress, year 148.

Divine-Grade Dew Pocket Fruit arrives, Silver Cypress and Cypress use it, successfully comprehending Soul System Nightfall ability.

The number of newly trained Specialized Blue Soldiers able to adapt to Vortex Beast Dead Water State changes reaches thirty thousand.

Silver Cypress and Cypress each lead ten thousand soldiers, Dragon Cypress personally commands ten thousand, equipped with Vortex Beast ability, start practicing cooperative combat.

Officially, begins preparing food reserves to annihilate Blue Island, traveling thousands of kilometers east and west for deep-sea fishing.

In the deep sea, many fish species like to seasonally gather in large groups, chasing oceanic heat currents, migrating to more plentiful food areas.

Dragon Cypress mainly targets these fish groups, not wiping them all out, but each year moderately hunting one-third of them, leaving the remaining two-thirds with enough living space and food, allowing them to quickly reproduce, grow, and thrive.

Thus, there are fish to catch every year.

Thirty to forty-meter ice boats, each carrying five-centimeter diameter White Refining Beads, transport large shipments back to Rainbow Island.

With great capability, Ink Orchid makes 0.5-meter wide, 1-meter long square boxes for sealing, then sends them to Cloud Trace Continent's Snow Cedar Mountain ice storage.

...

Silver Cypress, year 150.

Ink Orchid smoothly condenses Thunder Explosion divine pattern.

During the 2-age period Insect King stage, it exercises restraint, reserving enhancement quota for the Water System.

Consumes Water System Ant King Honey valued at 30 million Source Stones, evolving to 3-age period.

The mutated Waterfire System Bicolor Mulberry Divine-Given Seed is officially named 'Bicolor Mulberry', included in the Life Pouch for nurturing.

According to plan, Ink Orchid condenses three divine patterns during the three-age period stage, initially selected as Corrosive Wind, Vortex Beast, and Touch of Silver Light.

Ink Orchid's Vortex Beast lacks the most core 'Devouring Ability', its combat power is insufficient; without the 'Heart of the Ant King', the vortex beast's scale is inadequate; without 'Water Escape' ability, it cannot carry the Ant Army.

In other aspects, it maintains accordance with Dragon Cypress, including combining Touch of Silver Light and Hydra, integrating into Vortex Beast.

This can form a relatively powerful divine pattern ability, but definitely cannot compare to Sea Beast Devouring and Vortex Beast Devouring.

This is to prepare for future assaults on Blue Island, using the Ocean God's Scepter.

Stable comprehension of Sea Soul and Tsunami abilities.

Dragon Cypress speculates that with ample preparation, the probability of understanding 'Sea Beast Devouring' would increase somewhat; if the most formidable 'Surround' can be understood, it would be a great gain.

All Assistant Kings awakened with Water System Talent, including Cypress, Silver Cypress, Black Birch, Black Sophora, and Rainbow Parasol must give it a try.
