The saying goes, when you're in the martial world, you have little control over your own fate.

The changes in the situation might involve oneself, and only strong strength is the fundamental basis for standing one's ground.

Previously, there were several times when I almost got caught up in the vortex of this vast war.

If it weren't for relying on my own strength, how could I peacefully cultivate and improve in seclusion?

The turmoil is spreading, and with each new thing Austin experiences and uncovers, he gains a deeper understanding that the source of this upheaval sweeping across the Kawa Great Forest is not simple.

If you want to stay out of it and protect yourself, only greater strength can be your most solid backing.

At this moment,

within the valley where Austin often secludes himself for cultivation.

"The Law of Water and the Law of Fire, although already fused into my bloodline, my comprehension of these two Elemental Laws is still at zero. Additionally, the Level Cultivation has rapidly increased from Golden Middle Tier to Golden High Tier in a short period, and then quickly to Half-Legendary. My control over my own power is still quite rough and needs further practice."

Austin sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, planning his previous gains and identifying the problems he needs to solve.

The first things to improve on are undoubtedly the mastery of the Water and Fire Laws as well as the surging power.

After some thought, Austin decided to first control his suddenly increased level of power.

After all, understanding the laws isn't an overnight task, and better control of my surging Level Cultivation strength also helps in comprehending the laws.

So in the first few days, Austin began practicing various techniques.

From close combat to various long-range attacks, and the release of various Attribute Rasengan, Austin executed them all one by one, then improved based on his insights.

For a time, the entire mountain range echoed with booming sounds.

Many mountains were leveled by the aftermath of Austin's training.

During training, he discovered something quite amusing.

Standing on a certain mountain peak, then suddenly outputting forward, regardless if it's Rasengan or Electromagnetic Cannon or Thunder Strike, releasing them all.

After several rounds of impact, the peak ahead was forcibly blasted open in the middle.

Standing high up, looking at the clear path ahead created by his own efforts, a sense of accomplishment welled up within him.

Push mountains aside, sever peaks, shift mountains, fill the sea.

The power that once only existed in fantasy is now truly in his hands, and he feels an unprecedented satisfaction.

After several days of simple, crude training, Austin has generally adapted to his surging power.

At the very least, he could simply control the power size when using techniques like Rasengan.

However, this is not enough.

At least not for Austin.

Therefore, he proceeded to the next step of advanced training.

Splitting Magic Power.

In previous seclusion, Austin relied on the training method of splitting Magic Power, dividing a lump of Magic Power into hairs to greatly enhance his control over his own strength.

At that time, after splitting training, not only did he increase the power of techniques like Rasengan while reducing consumption, but he also formed a Domain prototype through combination with Talent Magic.

Now, Austin has reached the Half-Legendary Realm, already able to condense a Domain.

Moreover, the Magic Power within his body, both in energy level and quantity, has undergone a tremendous enhancement.

Compared to the time when he was just at the Golden Low Tier, the difficulty of controlling his own Magic Power has increased more than tenfold.

After the splitting training, Austin became very interested in how far his enhanced precision in magic control could reach.

Thus,

next, the mountainous region that was booming all day became quiet.

Austin sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, white snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on him, staining a white touch, resembling an ice sculpture.

Like a hermit sage, his heart as still as water.

Motionless, his Heart Spirit seemed completely immersed into his heart.

A mass of Magic Power floated in the void in front of him, beginning to be squeezed and split under the action of invisible Spiritual Power.

Two lines, four lines, eight lines...

The Magic Corps in front gradually split, becoming a greater number of coarse Magic Lines.

In this process, as the Magic Corps was split into eight parts, the coarse lines split using Spiritual Power began to tremble, and cold sweat appeared on Austin's forehead.

Finally,

With a pop, the arm-thick, crooked, irregularly sized Magic Lines suspended in front began to collapse, sweeping up a gust of wind on the ground, clearing away the surrounding as well as the snow on Austin.

"Failed."

Austin opened his eyes, somewhat weary.

Compared to before, due to the great enhancement in Magic Level and quantity, the Magic Corps activated were both powerful and turbulent.

During splitting, even a moment of unstable Heart Spirit could cause it to disintegrate.

The difficulty has increased more than tenfold, to say the least.

However, Austin did not give up.

If it doesn't work the first time, the second will do. If the second doesn't work, then the third, fourth... As long as he continues to try, the degree of control over his own Magic Power will surely improve quickly, reaching a certain level of precision.

After a short rest, Austin closed his eyes again.

Sinking into his Heart Spirit, a flowing Magic Power mass appeared in the void ahead, surrounded by the invisible Spiritual Power enveloping the surrounding void.

He began to try again.

Once, twice, three times...

As time passed, from the beginning where the arm-thick line would fail and collapse, then to cable-like size, next to chopstick, and then toothpick...

Step by step, the precision of Austin's control over Magic Power improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, the overwhelmingly strong aura pervading the surrounding void also began to gradually recede.

The presence that once was enough to frighten ordinary creatures into trembling, now only exudes a sense of dominance that would make ordinary Beastmen feel awe.

This is the result of increased precision in controlling Magic Power, allowing Austin to freely control the presence he emits.

If one day, Austin reaches an ultimate level of control over his Magic Power, he might be able to completely conceal his aura.

Since the last six months of tempering in the lava, Austin's once youthful body has been honed to a more pronounced form, no longer needing to use presence to highlight his valor.

Concealing aura would be no issue either.

Time slowly passed, in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

During this half-month, Austin finally managed to split a mass of Magic Power to the fineness of a strand of hair.

This fine level of control is already sufficient.

To go further would require more time and more effort.

For the current Austin, the cost-effectiveness of enhancing strength this way isn't very high.

Thus, Austin stopped training in this area.
