The control of elemental forces was a rather unfamiliar concept to ordinary players, and even to expert players alike.
Generally, only after reaching a Tier 3 Class and beginning to attempt unlocking their Mana Body would players gradually start learning about these magical elements. Even magic-oriented Classes only understood some basic principles of the elements — actually controlling them was something even Domain-realm magic Classes could not achieve.
The fundamental requirement for control was not merely understanding magical elements. One needed to figure out all the rules governing the four major magical elements before even attempting to control them.
And in the Divine Realm, forget about trying to control those magical elements — even the operational rules of the four major magical elements had yet to be fully understood by any of the great superpowers.
Yet the man before her could command the magical elements within the room to move at his will, using them to unleash even greater power from the magic array. That was the dream of every magic-Class player in the entire Divine Realm.
What truly stunned Yan Xiaoqian, however, was the person controlling the magical elements inside the room.
Hei Yan!
A melee Class — not a magic Class at all.
Melee Classes were inherently less sensitive to magical elements than magic Classes. Moreover, they almost never used magic in combat, relying instead on skills at most, which made them even more unfamiliar with magical elements.
Yet the Shi Feng before her looked nothing like a Sword King. He seemed more like a beloved child of the magical elements.
"You've arrived." Shi Feng, who was manipulating the magic array inside the Legacy Room, glanced at Zui Yan and the others. He then accelerated the array's operation and spoke calmly, "The magic array in here will be fully activated soon. The three of you will unlock your Mana Bodies here. You'll experience a five-minute window of a completely unlocked Mana Body. What you need to do is memorize the sensation of your mana flowing in that state, then figure out how to replicate it afterward. Remember, each of you only gets one chance."
"A completely unlocked Mana Body — sustained for five minutes?" Yan Xiaoqian's face was filled with undisguised astonishment.
Though five minutes was rather short, directly experiencing the state of a fully unlocked Mana Body was incomparably easier than fumbling through it on one's own. There was no need to worry about going down the wrong path either — all one had to do was follow a single path straight to the end.
"Is this the secret behind Zero Wing's strength?" Gu Han stared in disbelief at Shi Feng.
Among the great superpowers in the Divine Realm, forget about experiencing a fully unlocked Mana Body — even finding a place that could improve one's elemental control was difficult. Yet Zero Wing could let its players experience a five-minute window of full Mana Body unlock. Compared to Zero Wing, the great superpowers fell short by more than a single tier.
"No wonder Zero Wing has so many experts who've unlocked their Mana Body. If the other superpowers found out about this, they'd be green with envy." Zui Yan couldn't help but glance around the Legacy Room as well.
Unlocking the Mana Body was something anyone could accomplish given enough time, but the amount of time required was unpredictable. The earlier one unlocked the Mana Body, the sooner one could venture into places inaccessible to ordinary Tier 3 players, obtain opportunities unavailable to them, and have more time for other pursuits.
After all, figuring out the Mana Body required considerable energy and time. Reducing that exploration time was something every superpower desperately wanted.
"Alright, who's going first?" After fully activating the magic array, Shi Feng looked toward Zui Yan and the other two, who still wore expressions of shock.
"I'll go first. Gu Han and Yan Xiaoqian can follow after me," Zui Yan said.
The other two nodded without any resentment toward Zui Yan for claiming the first spot. They both knew that the person who went first actually gained the least benefit.
None of them had ever experienced a 100% unlocked Mana Body before, and they had no idea how to make the most of such a state. But if they went later, they could ask the person who had already experienced it for advice and impressions, allowing them to know how to approach the experience more effectively.
"Very well, then Captain Zui Yan, you may go first."
Shi Feng nodded and stepped directly out of the room, letting Zui Yan enter. He then closed the Legacy Room's door and waited quietly outside.
With the door shut, Yan Xiaoqian and Gu Han outside grew both nervous and curious.
Setting aside the experience of a 100% unlocked Mana Body, they had serious doubts about whether it was even possible to unlock their Mana Body within a single day.
Unlocking the Mana Body was something anyone could accomplish with enough time — but was it really that simple?
The further one progressed in unlocking the Mana Body, the harder it became. It was not something one could achieve simply by knowing about it or having a vague understanding. It required enormous amounts of time for experimentation and practice.
