The display left Atticus feeling utterly baffled. The fire element was truly profound.
'I assumed I've figured out everything but it seems like that old man has ways of bringing me back to reality. So where do I start from?'
The students of the third summit stood awed at the sides. Their gazes were still focused on the beam showing no signs of stopping.
That, that was what they had been trying so hard for years to recreate. The instructors had done a good job demonstrating this move, but no one could do it as well and effortlessly as Dekai.
The students snapped out of their reverie and turned towards Atticus standing in the middle.
"Welcome to the third summit, young master,"
A burly man whose demeanor screamed confidence approached Atticus.
Atticus paused for a second but after scrutinizing the man and seeing no hint of ill intent, he responded,
"Hello?"Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
The burly man smiled as he saw the confused look on Atticus's face. He understood completely why he had that look.
"Why am I talking to you?"
The man took Atticus's silence as a yes, an intense grin appearing on his face,
"Because you, young master, are the real deal,"
The burly man's expression turned serious,
"I must apologize for the cold welcome you received when you arrived at the sanctum. I'm sure you know this already, but most of the people here at the sanctum come from families with significant influence in the Ravenstein family."
Atticus swept his gaze around, looking at the gathered white-haired individuals.
Truly, it wasn't much; it was simply the same process, but each of them explained it in different ways.
It was all in the molecules.
First things first, the construct.
Before, Atticus had been simply creating a stationary construct. Something that wasn't meant to move. Basically a statue.
But given the demonstration, that would most definitely have to change.
In order for his construct to become functional and mobile, Atticus had to add many elements he had never considered before.
He had to incorporate joints to allow for movement, as well as mechanisms to enable fluid motion and balance.
This involved designing a complex system of interconnected parts that could work together seamlessly, almost like an intricate puzzle coming to life.
In essence, Atticus had his work cut out for him.
In addition to this, apart from designing a construct that could move, Atticus would also have to design one that could utilize mana.
His observation hadn't been wrong, and the other people of the third summit confirmed it.
What Dekai's construct had used hadn't been the fire element, but it had been pure mana.
'There are arts that enable people to utilize the elements, but to think a construct could do that,'
Apart from mobility, Atticus would have to create a way for mana to flow smoothly through its body.
It was a heavy project, and Atticus couldn't help but understand just how the people of the third summit had spent so much time here.
'This will take time. Let's get to work,'
Atticus's gaze firmed as he closed his eyes.
