I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 488: Spell Study (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The perfecting of the spell trajectory was to allow the created spell to be used in practice.

Many spells would also be stuck at the third phase after passing the second.

It was especially so for those complicated spells that took a long time to be released. They were not suitable for actual combat.

Therefore, the trajectory of a spell was also important.

This was related to the efficiency of the spell.

There could be a significant difference in the casting speed of a single spell in two different trajectories.

It was like every road led to Rome.

However, one was walking in a straight line, and the other was taking a detour.

The difference in time would definitely be obvious.

To the frontline warriors, the efficiency of casting spells was the guarantee of their own safety.

Due to the trajectory of spells, humans had eliminated at least tens of thousands of spells that had been researched.

Feng Qi had heard Lin Ran mention it before.

The most ridiculous spell that was eliminated back then was a spell called

Supreme Solitude.

At that time, the researcher who developed this spell spent half his life researching it from the perspective of its power.

The power of this spell was unique in the test at that time.

It set a new record on the Spell Damage Rankings with a value more than 10 times higher.

However, such a spell was ruthlessly eliminated in the end and only stored in the cultivation museums in various cities.

This spell was perfect in terms of arrangement and combination.

The only problem was its trajectory.

This was because it took about 18 hours to outline the trajectory.

In the words of the evaluator at that time, this spell was described as something akin to waste in a latrine. It was deemed foul-smelling, lengthy, and devoid of meaning.

While it was normal for large-scale spells to require a lengthy outlining process, this particular spell needed a certain level of efficiency. Frontline warriors didn’t have 18 hours to spare, especially in small-scale battles within the domain field.

By the time the spell outline was completed, the battle would be over.

More importantly, one could not make any mistakes during the process of outlining the trajectory. Otherwise, the trajectory would collapse and fail entirely.

For instance, if a mistake occurred in the last step after outlining it for 17 hours, one would have to restart the process and outline it for another 18 hours before being able to release the spell.

Such a mistake could be devastating.

Therefore, this powerful spell had no meaning in actual combat.

It was reasonable for it to be eliminated.

The other eliminated spells were all spells that were arranged in a complicated manner and could not form a simple and efficient spell trajectory.

Lin Ran was also talented in this aspect.

The spells he created were generally simple and effective.

However, Lin Ran’s greatest contribution to the research of spells at this stage was undoubtedly to create a brand new spell release style, also known as the Hand Seal technique.

This technique could considerably enhance the efficiency of casting medium- and small-scale spells.

The Hand Seal technique was like an amplifier that outlined spells, using a simpler and more effective method.

Lin Ran’s status in the spell research circle could be said to be the founder of a school.

From the three thresholds of creating spells to the final spell amplifier, there was a height and potential that no one had reached before.

This was also why Lin Ran became one of the most influential people in this

era.

During his days in the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s sub-base, Feng Qi had a clearer understanding of spell research.

He also saw Lin Ran’s talent and potential in this aspect.

Looking at Lin Ran, who was still standing in the spell element simulation device, he had reason to believe that if Lin Ran was given the freedom to unleash his potential, his potential would increase further.

In every era, there were a few geniuses who would leave a deep mark on history.

In this era, Lin Ran was one of them.

The only regret was that Lin Ran’s environment meant that his talent couldn’t be fully utilized.

First, it was the Night Shadow Race’s use, and then the owner of the fog’s possession.

From a historical point of view, Lin Ran’s life was undoubtedly tragic.

There were only two endings in his life.

1. Old Wang did not join the Scarlet Research Institute.

After the owner of the fog possessed the Old Wang, Lin Ran, who had outstanding results in spell research, would become a thorn in the side of the owner of the fog. The owner of the fog would find an opportunity to harm him and cut off his potential.

2. After Old Wang knew the truth, he joined the Scarlet Research Institute.

In this timeline, Lin Ran would become the initial target for possession by the owner of the fog. Ultimately, he would stray further from his firm ideals, becoming a tool to be exploited.

Even after 1500 years of anti-parasitic success, human civilization would have long since perished.

To Lin Ran, there was no point in living anymore.

Looking at Lin Ran, who had a serious expression and was still engrossed in his research, Feng Qi sighed.

At least Lin Ran remained optimistic in the face of any challenge.

With this sacrifice timeline, Lin Ran understood that he would eventually be possessed by the owner of the fog.

However, he did not escape. He chose to smile and face it calmly.

It didn’t affect his life either. He was still busy studying spells every day.

Lin Ran’s mentality reminded him of Wei Wei.

Wei Wei had once said that even if she knew the future outcome, she had to live her life.

Lin Ran had the same mentality..
