Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 242: Treating The Elements Like A Toy Part One

Mei let out a laugh seeing how excited Tang Yu was getting. She felt a little relieved that she had family here in this world. A side of her own family that she did not know about. Mei looked at Tang Yu and smiled. "Let's get going, we have to work hard from now on." 

"I will do as Elder Sister says!" Tang Yu said happily, the two followed after Bai Hong. 

He led them to a platform that had a few large demonic beasts with wings. "This here is a Wind Roc, our sect was lucky to have a beast tamer in the past. Because of this, each peak has a few of these Wind Rocs to allow disciples who have yet to reach core formation realm to fly back and forth between the peaks."

Mei looked up at the two wind roc's in front of her only to have both of them come over and begin nuzzling up to her. "Oh? Seems these wind rocks like you. Might be because you have an affinity to wind now since you have immersed yourself in the dao of wind and are able to use the law of wind."

"What is the difference between the two?" Mei asked. She was a bit confused as to why the two were different. 

Bai Hong smiled and said: "The dao is the way of something or your understanding of a particular subject, in this case, wind. While the law is the ability to use your understanding and manifest it in the real world. This is shown by how you can make blades of wind fire out from your sword and how you are able to become one with the wind by transforming your very existence into the wind. It seems the technique I gave you was basically meant for you." 

Mei thought about what Bai Hong said to her just now as they flew to the fifth peak. She could only expect that her ability to use the law of wind was because she understood the concert from when she was using magic on Phantasia. Thinking of what Bai Hong had just said, Mei couldn't help but think to herself: 'Since I already understood wind, then couldn't I use the other elements as well.' 

Mei sat on the back of the wind roc and healed out her hand, palm side up, in front of her. She then created a spinning ball of wind in her hand. She then made this ball of wind disappear. After she concentrated a bit, putting her knowledge of Phantasia and Earth to work, a ball of flames suddenly appeared in her hands. She then messed around with this ball of flames turning it into different shapes as she practiced her control over it. 

Tang Yu who was sitting at her side, eyes went wide as she yelled out: "Elder Sister! Fire! Fire! How!?" 

Bai Hong looked over after hearing Tang Yu's yelling and his eyes almost rolled right out of his head! What kind of genius was this girl!? But his shock and surprise did not end there. After Mei made a sword of fire she put out the flames and next formed a ball of water, then earth, ice, and even lightning! It was as if the elements were just a toy to her! 

"Hmm easier than I thought it would be. Instead of using Magicules, I can just gather the spiritual qi in the air and I will be able to use magic again. It's just a matter of collecting the correct element. Unfortunately, until I can actually hold spiritual qi in my body I can not release the formed element from my hand without a proper technique like Thousand Piercing Lotus Blossom. But at least if I am in close quarters I can easily use them. Which means I can cover my hands in wind, fire, and lightning when using the Thousand Fists Lotus Blossom technique." Both Tang Yu and Bai Hong could hear what Mei was saying because she was speaking her thoughts out loud. And they couldn't help but feel astonished. 

"Mei'er can you really control each element without issue?" Bai Hong finally asked.

"Mmm... My control over the elements comes from my home world. We have to understand and picture the kind of magic we want to use. So understanding the elements is something we also need to know as well. Because of this, my insights on control over these elements is the same as walking to me. It just comes naturally. But as of now without proper techniques, I could never use them in a ranged battle except for the wind elements. I am not sure if mixing wind with them other elements would allow me to use them with the Thousand Piercing Lotus Blossom technique though. I would have to test it and see. But I can say that I should be able to freely control all elements on my body freely as of now. Meaning I can even do something like this." Mei raised her arms and a shiny metal began to form over her white jaded skin. 

Bai Hong once again was shocked! This was! This was incredible! Mei looked at the metal coating her skin and thought how this would be very handy on Phantasia. It had never dawned on her before to apply other elements to her body except for wind to boost her speed. "It seems I will not be easy to hurt anymore. But I also would need to see other types of metals of this world as well. This metal might not be as strong as others meaning this would not be much defense."
