After receiving the news, Xia Duo immediately rushed to the laboratory.
Unlike Mira, who was an ignorant child, Yinstremus, as a high mage, with his understanding of blood and magic, could definitely tap into a considerable part of the potential of the arcane elves in a short period of time.
Laboratory No. 2.
When Sha Duo first came in, he saw an arcane elf that was continuously emitting a strong magical aura. Through his body, Sha Duo could even vaguely see the scene on the other side of the laboratory.
"Instremus, how are you feeling?"
“I feel better than ever, haha!”
At this moment, Yinstrems's voice seemed to be coming from the sky, ethereal, cold, and even had a slight echo, as if a reverberation special effect was turned on.
Numerous questions suddenly arose in Xia Duo's heart. For a moment, he didn't know where to start, so he followed his first reaction and asked:
"What are you talking about now? Does the body in the arcane state also have vocal cords?"
"Well--"
Yinstrems obviously did not expect that Shado would ask such a question. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and explained:
"I'm actually more like a magic object now. I don't speak through my vocal cords, but a special ability generated by my body's transformation into arcane energy, similar to the communication technique, but in fact I can still do this -"
Halfway through the words, Yinstremus suddenly shut up, but Shado simultaneously received a telepathic communication request. After agreeing, a piece of information was transmitted into his consciousness:
"Psychic communication is also an instinct of the arcane elves."
There is actually spiritual communication? !
Somehow, Xia Duo suddenly regretted not looking for a few mage volunteers. Mira was just too lazy!
Before Xia could think about it, Yinstrems once again demonstrated a new ability. The surface of his arcane body fluctuated. The next moment, he disappeared from the place and reappeared on the other side of the laboratory. .
"Don't tell me that this is also an instinct of the arcane elves?"
Xia Duo is obviously unwilling to accept this reality, but the reality will not change because of his unwillingness to accept it. Yinsterms's ethereal, cold voice with a slight echo came again:
"Unfortunately, this is my instinct now!"
Yinstrems seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and even joked, "Look, I can teleport like this, and I can teleport like this!"
He demonstrated two transmission methods in succession, both of which were different from before. The first one was more like a direct arcane jump, while the latter two had a more regular spell framework feel.
Apparently Yinstremus has discovered the unique way of casting spells of the arcane elves.
It was completely different from Sha Duo's previous prediction that he could only use arcane energy simply, and there was even a trace of an arcanist in it.
It’s not like you just got the information and now you have the results!
In fact, Yinstrems' achievements were far more than that. Immediately afterwards, he cast a simple transformation spell in front of Sha Duo.
The next moment, his originally dark blue arcane form instantly turned into a ball of almost completely transparent gas.
If it weren't for the density difference between it and the air in the laboratory environment, which caused the outline of a lake to appear on the edge of the current wind element form, it would be difficult to find traces of its existence at first glance.
Xia Duo noticed that the spell used by the other party was roughly the same as what he predicted before, so he asked again: "Can't it transform into other elemental forms on its own?"
"No, although arcane energy can be converted into other elements, it itself is a very stable energy form. For the time being, it can only be transformed through spell-assisted transformation. If we study more deeply in the future, we may be able to find a way to transform it on its own."
After saying that, Yinstremus returned to the arcane form again. The transformation required spell assistance, but the transformation back did not. "When I transformed into the elemental form, I could feel the call of the inner plane. I felt that if If you come back unchanged for a long time, you may be assimilated into an elemental creature.
"Although I look like an elemental creature now, in essence I am still a normal elf. You see-"
Shado looked in the direction of Yinstremus's finger, and saw a gap two or three fingers wide instantly opened in the opponent's chest. Through the gap, Shado could see the arcane heart beating continuously inside the chest.
In this regard, Yinstrems explained: "Although I am now in arcane form, in my own feelings, I am still similar to my flesh and blood form. I can still feel my heartbeat and body temperature, but -"
Having said this, Yinstrems paused for a moment, then directly squeezed his hand through the gap in his chest, and took out the translucent heart that was also blue and still beating.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was both surprised and a little bit convinced that it was indeed the case. The next moment, the heart that was taken out by Yinsterms seemed to have melted, collapsed from the palm of his hand and merged into his body, but there was originally one missing piece. Another intact heart grew out of the fleshy chest.
"My current body has no obvious weaknesses. Even if my head is chopped off or my heart is removed, at most I will lose some arcane energy reserves. As long as it does not exceed a certain limit, I can still return to my original state."
"Have you tried it?" Xia Duo couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that fast, but just like it hurts when my hand is cut in the flesh and blood form, I also have some instinctive premonitions about various injuries in the arcane form."
"Then how long can you maintain your current form?" Sha Duo continued to ask.
"I can maintain it as long as I want. At least from the moment the transformation ceremony was completed until now, I haven't felt any limits."
"Can I eat something?"
"I tried this, but unfortunately, it doesn't work." Yinstrems said with regret, "If I could eat, maybe I would stay in this form."
That's it!
Xia Duo thought thoughtfully, the arcane form cannot eat, but Xilin's saint form incarnation can eat. The latter is essentially a special energy form. If the latter can eat, the former should also Can.
It's just that it hasn't been developed yet.
After thinking for a while, Sha Duo asked again: "Does the arcane form have any benefits for casting spells?"
"I wish there was, but there isn't."
Yinstrems once again expressed his regrets. The current arcane forms seem to be quite diverse, but for high mages, if they cannot gain some benefit in spellcasting, it is still essentially a weakening.
"Of course, if I can become the arcanist mentioned in your information, there may be some changes."
"Then in this current state, can you still release your power and enter the saint form?" Sha Duo asked again.
If you can directly enter the saint form in the arcane form, then it is actually not that important whether the arcane form has a spellcasting buff.
If not, then for a high mage, the arcane form may be too useless.
To this, Yinstrems’s answer was——
"I haven't tried this yet, but I don't think it's a big problem."
