NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Attributes
Chapter 6: Attributes
Su Yun felt troubled; in the original work, Xiao Yan detected his attributes at the Dou Qi Pavilion in the Xiao family.
As a commoner, he had no means to detect his own attributes.
In his dilemma, Su Yun thought of the system.
"Why not give it a try?" Su Yun was a man of action.
"System, scan my body," Su Yun mentally commanded.
"Ding, scan successful."
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Male
Cultivation: One-star Dou Practitioner

"System, display Dou Qi attributes," Su Yun commanded again.
"Ding, attribute display complete."
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Male
Cultivation: One-star Dou Practitioner
Attributes: Fire, Ice, Wood
Techniques: None
Dou Skills: None
Items: None
"Not bad at all," Su Yun marveled at the different information displayed compared to before.
It seemed that there was still some information on the system panel that needed to be triggered by himself.
"Fire, ice, and wood attributes..."
"I should meet the conditions to become an alchemist!"
A trace of joy flashed in Su Yun's heart.
Although he could synthesize pills with the system, each synthesis required a corresponding-grade magic nucleus. Lower-grade pills were manageable, but for higher-grade ones...
Thinking of this, Su Yun shook his head involuntarily. Since he met the conditions to become an alchemist and had the foundation of Yao Lao's memories, it was necessary for him to practice alchemy.
The system's fusion function was indeed heaven-defying, but the cost was too high.
With this in mind, Su Yun shifted his gaze to his ice attribute.
In the Dou Qi Continent, a person's attributes were determined by their soul. Normally, a soul had only one attribute and wouldn't have others.
Of course, there were exceptions. Among billions of people, some had experienced soul mutations. Those with mutated souls would possess one strong and one weak attribute, like alchemists.
Looking at the system's display, Su Yun surprisingly had three attributes.
Su Yun was familiar with the original work and knew that Feng Qing'er had a situation similar to his. However, he had an extra special attribute.
Feng Qing'er had wind and thunder, two mutually non-restrictive dual attributes, while Su Yun had conflicting fire and ice attributes, not to mention the wood attribute.
However, fire and wood also conflicted with each other. So, there should be no issue with incompatible attributes...
After all, every alchemist had fire and wood dual attributes, with the wood attribute being almost negligible.
This was the choice of the cultivation technique...
Su Yun felt a headache.
Originally, he planned to cultivate "Flame Mantra" if he had the fire attribute and the highest-grade technique for other attributes.
Who knew he also had an ice attribute...
"Speaking of which, can I merge 'Flame Mantra' with other ice attribute techniques?"
Su Yun's mind wandered, and then his eyes lit up. He could try it; after all, the techniques wouldn't disappear.
Subsequently, he pointed at "Flame Mantra" and the low-grade ice attribute technique "Nine Nether Icy Frost Mantra" from Yao Lao's collection.
Then he activated the system's fusion function.
"Ding, detected a fusion plan. Do you want to spend one fifth-grade magic nucleus to merge?"
"Fifth grade!" Su Yun's eyes were almost popping out.
A fifth-grade magic nucleus! For someone who had never seen a third-grade magic nucleus, how could he endure this!
However, Su Yun did not feel discouraged. Since there was a fusion plan, it meant that this path was viable.
Su Yun tried to merge the low-grade yellow-ranked ice attribute technique with "Flame Mantra."
"Ding, detect a fusion plan. Do you want to spend one first-grade magic nucleus to merge?"
"First grade..."
Su Yun tried again.
He attempted to merge the mid-grade yellow-ranked ice attribute technique.
"Ding, detect a fusion plan. Do you want to spend one first-grade magic nucleus to merge?"
"Still first grade..."
Su Yun was taken aback.
He searched for higher-level techniques in Yao Lao's memories this time.
This time, it was the high-grade yellow-ranked one.
"Ding, detect a fusion plan. Do you want to spend one second-grade magic nucleus to merge?"
Hearing the system's prompt, Su Yun continued to try to merge the black-ranked ice attribute technique with "Heavenly Flame Mantra."
"Ding, detect a fusion plan. Do you want to spend one third-grade magic nucleus to merge?"
"Third grade..."
Su Yun stopped trying.
Although he hadn't figured out the system's requirements for magic nuclei in technique fusion, he had no intention of trying further.
He currently only possessed up to second-grade magic nuclei, and understanding wouldn't change that fact.
He could always try later when he had higher-grade magic nuclei.
"Merge," Su Yun silently prayed.
"Ding, fusion completed. Congratulations, host, on obtaining a high-grade yellow-ranked technique."
A strange fluctuation echoed in Su Yun's mind.
Shaking his head, he immersed his consciousness in his mind.
"Is this the new technique?"
After a while, Su Yun frowned. The new technique did not quite meet his expectations.
Although this new technique retained the function of "Heavenly Flame Mantra" devouring foreign fire to evolve, it possessed both black and ice attributes.
However, having black and ice dual attributes did not mean he could merge them like the original work's Feng Qing'er, who had wind and thunder attributes, resulting in a powerful dual-attribute Dou Qi.
While this new technique had both ice and black attributes, it could only allow him to use ice and black attributes separately, not merge them into a combined Dou Qi.
Although it made his combat methods versatile, it didn't meet Su Yun's expectations.
"Well, it's not bad." Su Yun comforted himself.
He had been too presumptuous.
In the Dou Qi Continent, dual-attribute cultivators were extremely rare. In the original work, there was only Feng Qing'er.
This new technique not only had dual ice and black attributes but also retained the function of "Heavenly Flame Mantra" evolving by devouring foreign fire. It was already among the best.
According to the original work, "Heavenly Flame Mantra" seemed to be able to compete with mid-grade yellow-ranked techniques when it was still a low-grade yellow-ranked technique, and it was comparable to high-grade yellow-ranked techniques when it evolved by devouring Purple Flame.
This new technique also possessed such transcendent characteristics.
It could compete with low-grade black-ranked techniques.
Thinking about this, Su Yun felt content.
In the Dou Qi Continent, techniques and skills that could compete with higher grades were rare.
It was equivalent to having a low-grade black-ranked technique in Wutan City, surpassing the "Raging Qi Furious Gang" of the Xiao family, which was only mid-grade yellow-ranked. The other two major families only had low-grade yellow-ranked techniques.
"Wait a minute, what if I can devour the Bone Spirit Cold Fire with this technique?"
Su Yun's eyes lit up.
The Bone Spirit Cold Fire could potentially solve the problem of his Dou Qi having conflicting ice and black attributes!
With both black's properties and ice's chill, it could work!
The more Su Yun thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Yao Lao was indeed a treasure trove!
"Hehe, looks like I'm going to benefit again."
Su Yun grinned.
"Let's give it a name first."
"Since I have both ice and Fire attributes, hmm...
Let's call it 'Frost Flame Mantra.'"
