After agreeing to teach Lu Li the Seven Transformations of the Serpent, Skirk led him to a relatively quiet area.

There were no monsters here, and the terrain was relatively flat, making it a good place to practice.

"Watch carefully, I'll demonstrate it for you first."

"The principle of this move is to use Abyssal Power to penetrate reality, creating specific negative pressure to induce the flow of Elemental Power."

"Thus achieving this effect."

Skirk's fingertip condensed a wisp of Abyssal Power.

The Abyssal Power twisted and changed like a living thing, slowly flashing through the light of seven elements in sequence: ice, fire, thunder, water, wind, rock, and grass.

"Close your eyes and feel these powers."

Each time the element transformed, Skirk pressed these different energies onto Lu Li's chest.

He wanted Lu Li to feel the differences in these energies with his heart.

Lu Li closed his eyes.

He felt a cold current rush into his body, followed by a burning pain, then a tingling electric sensation... Seven elements alternately washed over Lu Li's body.

These energies were relatively weak and would not cause any damage to Lu Li's body.

Lu Li could feel that although these energies contained Elemental Power, giving him different sensations, their origin was still the same Abyssal Power.

Lu Li began to feel the portion of Abyssal Power within these elemental energies.

"For an ordinary person, this move would take at least several months to even grasp the basics."

"The method is roughly as I demonstrated; the key lies in the flexible application of Abyssal Power, understanding what degree of Abyssal Power can induce what kind of Elemental Power."

Skirk explained the key points of learning the Seven Transformations of the Serpent to Lu Li. This was what Surtalogi had taught her, and she, in turn, taught it to Lu Li.

Both Surtalogi and Skirk had bloodlines related to Abyssal Power, so they learned this very quickly.

From a young age, Lu Li's body had been tempered by Abyssal Power, but he had not used Abyssal Power to transform his body, so the amount of Abyssal Power he could call upon in his body was not much.

Then... in that case.

Once outside the Abyss, using Abyssal Power to induce Elemental Power would be greatly limited.

Is there any way... to use this supernatural elemental magic without relying on Abyssal Power to induce Elemental Power?

[You have realized the limitations of the Seven Transformations of the Serpent, felt the differences between the seven Elemental Powers, and comprehended the mysteries between different attribute energies.]

[You have created the «Three Transformations of the Spirit».]

A voice came, and Lu Li knew he had found a method—that was to cheat.

After comprehending the «Three Transformations of the Spirit», Lu Li felt a wave of dizziness.

Lu Li activated the Three Transformations of the Spirit.

Immediately, he felt a new power suddenly appear in his body!

This power was not Abyssal Power, nor Elemental Power, but Spirit Power!

After activating Spirit Power, Lu Li could feel the existence of a spiritual root in his body!

And a spiritual root is the foundation of cultivation.

This discovery made Lu Li extremely excited.

In this way, without needing to use Abyssal Power to induce Elemental Power, Lu Li could also cast Spirit Power of different attributes.

The so-called 'three gives birth to all things' is the core of this «Three Transformations of the Spirit».

The First Transformation · Heavenly Spirit, the Second Transformation · Earthly Spirit, and the Third Transformation · Human Spirit.

The changes of these three types of Spirit Power constitute the «Three Transformations of the Spirit».

Lu Li felt that with just a thought, he could convert this Spirit Power into any attribute.

Lu Li opened his eyes and pointed with one hand.

A lightning chain shot directly from Lu Li's fingertip!

After casting this lightning chain, Lu Li immediately felt that one-third of the Spirit Power in his body had disappeared, but with the Primal Vitality Art, Lu Li restored the Spirit Power in his body to its peak state in five breaths.

This recovery speed made Lu Li very satisfied. The Spirit Power in Lu Li's body was too scarce now, but after more cultivation, he would become proficient.

Seeing Lu Li actually release a lightning chain, Skirk was greatly surprised.

Even her powerful master, Surtalogi, when learning the Seven Transformations of the Serpent, could only manage to change elemental attributes in sequence during his initial learning... But her disciple... could actually use it directly for attack?!

However, Skirk quickly noticed something was amiss.

When Lu Li used this lightning element attack, Skirk didn't detect any power of the Abyss!

Moreover, the aura of the lightning element released by Lu Li was clearly more ferocious, violent, and pure than any lightning she had ever seen.

How was this done?! Although the amount of lightning Lu Li released was not large, its purity was quite high.

A thought instantly exploded in Skirk's mind.

"Could this not be the Seven Transformations of the Serpent?!"

The more Skirk thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Skirk was already proficient in the Seven Transformations of the Serpent, which uses Abyssal Power to induce the generation of Elemental Power.

Elemental Power presented in this way would inevitably contain... at least a trace of Abyssal Power. When Surtalogi demonstrated this move to Skirk, she could detect the presence of Abyssal Power.

Skirk's body had long been transformed by Abyssal Power.

She was extremely sensitive to the aura of Abyssal Power.

The lightning bolt Lu Li just released had no trace of Abyssal Power, and it was stronger than ordinary lightning elements.

Skirk's mind jolted.

The lightning Lu Li released was like the heavenly lightning Skirk had seen on her home planet before its destruction!

Neither a Vision nor the Seven Transformations of the Serpent could achieve this!

Although Skirk had long known that this disciple was extraordinary, each time... it still shocked her.

Skirk felt a long-lost thrill in her heart, and she couldn't help but look forward to what level Lu Li's future strength could reach.

Lu Li had only cultivated for two and a half years, yet he could release this lightning!

And Skirk saw that after Lu Li released the lightning, his body showed no reaction; he didn't even breathe heavily.

Just as Skirk was still shocked by the lightning chain Lu Li released, Lu Li's small hand moved again.

With a flick of his left hand, a small fireball instantly appeared in Lu Li's hand.

Lu Li felt that generating a small fireball barely depleted his Spirit Power.

He directly injected all his Spirit Power into the fireball in his hand.

Whoosh—

Skirk only felt a heat beside her, and her whole body was illuminated by the firelight.

Looking at Lu Li beside her, a huge fireball had appeared in his hand.

And the purity of this fireball's fire was also extremely high, just like the lightning; there was not a trace of Abyssal Power!

Skirk was stunned once again; there was still more?!
