Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 40 - 22 Magnetic Induction

In the cultivation room, Ji Xinghuo stood up.

He distinctly felt an energy churning in his stomach as if it were alive, quickly penetrating the stomach wall and spreading to all his internal organs, reaching every part of his body within tens of seconds. Muscles, bones, blood—from the inside out, every inch of his body was soaked.

All of a sudden, from head to toe, he felt an itchy sensation, and all his body hair stood on end.

Crackle, pop...

Ji Xinghuo heard strange noises above his head and also detected a bizarre burnt smell. Turning his head to look in the mirror on the wall, he saw his hair trembling strand by strand.

Sparks were flickering in his hair; they were jumping currents of electricity.

"It feels like I’ve been electrocuted!"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the hair on his arms; beneath the skin, faint currents of electricity were visible. Other than the itchiness, however, there was no pain.

"Hmm..."

Suddenly, he shook his head; his consciousness turned somewhat blurry, full of drowsiness as if struck by hypnosis.

"My brain is starting to be remodeled as well."

Ji Xinghuo struggled to stay conscious, feeling every bit of change happening to himself.

Gradually, the currents produced by his body grew stronger, and as the flowing currents intensified the magnetic field, the two naturally interlinked aspects—the high-speed rotating magnetic field—expanded outward, enveloping half the cultivation room. The free-floating star power within his body reacted with the magnetic field, ultimately forming an invisible vortex!

The magnetic field vortex, invisible to the naked eye, attracted equally invisible energies.

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t see it, but he could feel it.

That was ether energy!

After the Star Gate opened, the ether energy from the Star Realm had been pouring into Earth continuously. Now, nearly two centuries later, ether energy was already pervasive across the globe.

From the core of the Earth to the depths of the oceans, up to the atmosphere and near space, every inch of space on Earth was permeated with ether energy, as common as air.

Of course, the density of ether energy on Earth was nowhere near that in the Star Realm.

The total amount of ether energy was even further off, possibly not even one-trillionth of that in the Star Realm.

Even so, it was more than enough for the Earth’s mutants to cultivate normally, but very few of them could truly sense the existence of ether energy.

At this moment.

Ji Xinghuo was like the center of an energy storm. Surging ether energy, like moths to a flame, swarmed towards him, flooding into his body.

He felt an indescribable exhilaration!

All fifty trillion cells in his body were cheering, letting out silent cries, as if starving for decades and finally satisfied, greedily devouring the ether energy.

As the ether energy continued to pour in, Ji Xinghuo’s body was reconstructed inch by inch.

This transformation was not just a physical strengthening; it also penetrated deep into his brain and perception, his mental processes, and if one had a soul, it would mean even the soul had undergone a ground-shaking, monumental transformation!

The merging and reconstruction were ongoing.

Ten minutes later, currents of electricity were clearly visible on Ji Xinghuo’s skin, and even if just fleeting, they easily pierced through the air.

The sounds of electric shocks in the cultivation room became more frequent.

With more and more currents, Ji Xinghuo was surrounded by wildly dancing lightning, yet those bolts were restrained by an invisible magnetic field, unable to leave his body.

Gradually, his entire being was shrouded in dazzling electric light, his feet left the ground, and spreading his arms, he floated in mid-air.

Half an hour later, the fusion finally reached its end.

Crack!

A clap of thunder.

The glow of electricity around Ji Xinghuo’s body suddenly dissipated, revealing his form, and his feet touched the ground once more.

His clothes had long been burned to ashes by the high-temperature currents; now he was stark naked. Thankfully, his power shoes and phone had been stored in the cabinet, minimizing his losses.

"Phew!"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the robust body in the mirror.

From the outside, his body seemed no different from before, perhaps slightly more robust and a bit paler, almost imperceptible without close examination.

But internally, he had been completely reborn!

Every inch of skin was tougher, every bone and muscle was reinforced in structure and fiber.

Even his blood seemed refined, with an explosive increase in oxygen transport and an addition of extra energy to the nutrients circulated within his body.

This was star power fully integrated into the blood, significantly increasing the efficiency of energy provided for bodily movements!

With just a slight movement, Ji Xinghuo felt his strength had increased by at least half, with a comprehensive improvement in defense, speed, and recovery.

The most enhanced aspect was probably his explosive power!

However, he could not fully utilize it here; for now, he didn’t know by how much it had specifically increased.

Ji Xinghuo slowly closed his eyes.

Beyond the strengthening of the body, the rotating magnetic field brought a brand-new sense of perception.

This type of perception, unlike vision or hearing, was different from all common senses; it allowed him to feel the existence of magnetic fields!

Everything in the universe has a magnetic field.

From an electron to a star, as long as it’s material, it has a magnetic field—an intrinsic property of matter.

The size and strength of the magnetic field depend on the nature of the material.

At that moment, without using his eyes, Ji Xinghuo could sense countless curved "lines" in the space around him; each one was continuous, with no beginning or end, extending infinitely far, yet forming a closed circuit.

Those were lines of magnetic force!

Bundles of magnetic force lines gathered together, a dense mass of them, by the thousands, millions, billions—impossible to count.

Some were strong, some weak, large and small; they each orbited around various objects, forming magnetic fields.

Generally, the larger the object, the larger its magnetic field;

Conversely, the magnetic field of smaller objects is also small.

Countless magnetic fields overlap and influence each other, with larger fields containing smaller ones and smaller fields containing even smaller ones; inextricable and interdependent, it’s impossible to completely separate them. They are ubiquitous, like an infinite expanse of a magnetic sea.

The largest magnetic field originates from beneath their feet, encompassing virtually all other fields.

"Earth’s magnetic field!"

Ji Xinghuo immediately realized.

The Earth’s magnetic field is much stronger than other fields. However, in terms of macroscopic physical phenomena, it’s difficult to notice.

The majority of magnetic fields are ignored in daily life.

Ji Xinghuo slightly adjusted to this perception and discovered that his magnetic field sensing range could reach up to three hundred meters!

Magnetic fields became significantly weaker beyond the three hundred meter mark, venturing into the unknown.

This range covered almost the entire shopping mall!

Within Ji Xinghuo’s perception, he "saw" tens of millions of magnetic fields. Most of them were very weak, with only a few that were stronger, especially the slender magnetic fields embedded in the walls, which were very striking—those were electrical circuits!

Then there were the innumerable varying shapes and sizes of special magnetic fields, originating from various electrical devices.

Lights, fridges, computers, cameras...

Based on the shape of the magnetic fields, Ji Xinghuo could easily distinguish what they were.

The magnetic fields from these devices were almost stationary, save for one type that kept moving. They were small in size but very strong.

"Cell phones!"

The magnetic signature of cell phones was very easy to identify and as conspicuous as the lights in the darkness to Ji Xinghuo’s perception.

Each cell phone’s magnetic field was connected to a larger but weaker magnetic field.

That’s the human body!

After carefully sensing for a while, Ji Xinghuo summarized a pattern.

Most people’s biomagnetic fields were very weak, but there were always exceptions. Those were the Mutants.

The higher the rank of a Mutant, the stronger they were, and the more distinct their magnetic field appeared.

He sensed a very strong human-shaped magnetic field not far from himself, belonging to that Evil Spirit stationed at the "Champion of the Stars" store!

Among the numerous human magnetic fields, the Evil Spirit’s field was like the moon in the night sky, several times more pronounced than the others.

"Changes in the magnetic field should also reflect the state of the other party."

A thought crossed Ji Xinghuo’s mind.

Instantly, the Rotating Magnetic Field was activated and began to operate; currents surged on his skin, and his strength surged as though he had an inexhaustible supply of power!

In his own perception, the intensity of his body’s magnetic field dramatically increased.

"Just as I thought."

Ji Xinghuo didn’t continue testing. Fully activating the Rotating Magnetic Field required the consumption of Star Power, and now was not the time for experimentation, so he exited the state.

"Truly a Transcendent Ability!"

"Such supernatural power completely surpasses the limits of the human body."

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but be in awe.

The enhancement of strength brought on by the Rotating Magnetic Field was just one aspect. For Ji Xinghuo, who was still a Primary Level Mutant, the use of magnetic field perception was even more significant at this stage.

Although he could only sense magnetic fields, without being able to affect or manipulate them, this was undoubtedly one of the top-tier perception abilities.

With this perception mastered through training, he could be aware of changes around him at every moment.

Not to mention, Wanxiang Star Pupil inherently possessed the function to foresee danger.

Combining Wanxiang Star Pupil with magnetic field perception, Ji Xinghuo believed it would be nearly impossible for anyone to surprise attack him, greatly ensuring his safety during adventures in the Star Realm.

It was then that Ji Xinghuo finally opened the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil.

[Star Power: 97/97]

[Abilities: Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand (Second Level 1/227), Rotating Magnetic Field (First Level 1/359)]

[Spiritual Origin Ability: 100]

"Star Power has increased by 41 points!" Ji Xinghuo was pleasantly surprised. It was common knowledge that merging with an Alien Species could increase Star Power.

He just hadn’t expected such a significant increase.

He diligently practiced for about a week to increase his Star Power by one point, yet merging with the Rotating Magnetic Field had added 41 points, nearly doubling it, equivalent to saving ten months of cultivation!

"No wonder every Mutant is desperate to expand their container with strange items."

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but sigh.

Expanding items allowed Mutants to merge with additional Alien Species and also increased Star Power, which greatly augmented their strength.

However, the increase in Star Power from merging with an Alien Species didn’t speed up the Mutants’ evolutionary progress.

If one were to compare a Mutant’s body to a bottle and Star Power as the water within, the growth of Star Power from merging with an Alien Species is like enlarging the bottle, increasing its capacity. The original gap from the next evolutionary progress remained the same or possibly even farther after merging.

This was why resources as precious as the Life Spirit Seed were called "expanding" items.

Of course, merging with additional Alien Species was only beneficial.

This not only strengthened their abilities but also raised their Star Power limit at that rank, laying a more solid foundation for the next evolution!

Then Ji Xinghuo saw his new Ability.

"A First Level Rotating Magnetic Field needs 359 points of Spiritual Origin Ability," he exclaimed in surprise. Glancing at the remaining 100 points of Spiritual Origin Ability, whether it was to upgrade Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand or Rotating Magnetic Field, it seemed like he was quite a bit short.

"Although I cannot upgrade, I can still enhance my strength."

Ji Xinghuo looked towards the human silhouette on the right side of the interface. A magnetic field shape projection hovered above the brain, enveloping the entire body and slowly spinning.

Without hesitation, he invested all 100 points of Spiritual Origin Ability into the Rotating Magnetic Field.
