No one knew when the first Arcanist appeared, but Arcanas were brought about by exotic beasts, and Arcanists appeared after the death of the Four Great Mythological Beasts. This was something that could be determined.
In other words, it had been at most twenty-two years since the birth of Arcanists, and the use and research of Arcanas by humans had been at most twenty years.
Twenty years was too short for a brand new power system, so every Arcanist was an explorer, and every Arcanist needed to explore a brand new field of knowledge on their own.
From various angles, every Arcanist was unique. Even if they looked similar, subtle differences could be found.
The current situation was that more and more Arcanists were appearing, and more and more Mutants were appearing. New forms of Arcanas were also appearing. Outside of the Four Great Mythological Beasts, it was actually very normal for new types of Arcanists to appear.
Bernhard and his Arcana Research Institute were undoubtedly at the forefront of Arcana exploration.
Bernhard had started his research on Arcana as soon as Arcanists appeared. Calculating Anna's age, he had already conducted research on whether Arcana could be inherited not long after Arcanists appeared.
As for the implantation of the Holy Beast's energy core in Anna, that was just a follow-up to Bernhard's experiment. He had only given the first experimental product to a new experimental project.
It was not difficult to figure out these things, but this was the basis for Gao Qi's lies.
Now, Bernhard was bound to study Gao Qi. He had even changed his focus from Anna to Gao Qi. However, this was not all a bad thing for Gao Qi, because he did need the help of the Arcana Research Institute to complete his research.
Gao Qi did not reject the experiment at all. The only problem was the method of the experiment.
"How?"
"Let's see if you can use the energy core."
"Okay, do we start now?"
"If you have no problem, then of course we'll start now."
"Okay, let's start!"
Gao Qi wanted to verify his guess, and Bernhard could not wait to see Gao Qi's Arcana. Both sides hit it off.
Bernhard looked at his watch and said, "Let's go. The energy core is ready."
Bernhard's insanity was also reflected in his efficiency. After he turned around and opened the door, he said very calmly, "Bring the energy core in."
A man in a white suit, dressed like a scientist, came in with a lockbox. He placed the lockbox on the operating table in front of Gao Qi's bed, opened the box, and immediately retreated to the side.
Bernhard said with a serious face, "This is the energy core of a Holy Beast. I named it Elias. It's different from the energy core in Anna's body. Elias's main attribute is water."
The Holy Beast's energy core was an irregular oval shape. It was light blue in color and emitted light. It looked like an egg. Even its size was about the same as an egg.
The sizes of the energy cores in the box were not uniform. The largest was about the size of an egg, while the smallest was about the size of a soybean. However, all of them emitted a soft light. One could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary. They were definitely not mixed up with ordinary crystals or gems.
There were red, blue, light yellow, and white energy cores. Gao Qi pointed at an energy core the size of a pigeon's egg and said, "What about this one?"
"There was no order for this one, but it came from a very powerful exotic beast. It is said that this exotic beast has the ability to use fire. It belongs to the ranks of elite exotic beasts, but it is not enough to be named. However, after today, we may need to accurately classify and divide the existing exotic beasts."
Bernhard's expression became fanatical again. He smiled and said, "You and Anna have made great contributions to the cause of Arcana research. You have advanced the progress of Arcana research, a historical progress. Gao Qi, you will leave your name in the history books with me."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Can I use this as an experiment?"
"No problem. How about we go to the place where the battle took place today? Before it is repaired, it can be used as your testing ground. "
Bernhard personally picked up the box, not hiding his excitement at all.
Gao Qi followed behind Bernhard with complicated feelings. Huang Fei, on the other hand, was very distressed.
Now, even a person would have to think of a way to escape. Huang Fei was still waiting to go home and get married. He didn't want to be locked up here with Gao Qi, unable to escape. He also didn't want to be silenced here.
The traces of the battle were still vivid in their eyes. The ground was scorched everywhere. Gao Qi looked at Anna's window. It had been installed with new glass.
"Anna hasn't woken up yet. You can meet her when she wakes up. Now, please show me your ability."
Bernhard excitedly took out the red energy core. Gao Qi temporarily put away the thought of flirting with the girl and held the energy core in his hand.
What should he do after getting the energy core?
Everything was difficult at the beginning. After the first experience, Gao Qi got the energy core, and then he quickly found the visible light ball.
He could see the light ball directly in his mind with his consciousness. Now, it looked more like a structure of some kind of power.
But how should he transform the energy core into a supernatural ability?
Gao Qi stood there for a long time because he needed to explore now. However, no one urged him, including Bernhard, Huang Fei, and more than a dozen people, all looked at him eagerly.
"Oh, I understand."
With the energy core in his hand, he could feel the energy contained in it. Gao Qi imagined this energy to be reorganized in the pattern of a light ball in his mind, and then released it.
There was no need for spells or complicated gestures. Gao Qi used the structure he was most familiar with to reorganize the energy.
Raising his hand, a fireball appeared in Gao Qi's palm.
"Wow …"
"Ah!"
Waves of exclamations sounded behind Gao Qi. Gao Qi held the motionless fireball in his palm. He slowly turned around and said, "It's quite simple."
Everything was difficult at the beginning. After mastering the basic method of using it, the rest was indeed quite simple.
Bernhard took a deep breath and said, "Can you try something more complicated?"
The energy core seemed to have shrunk, but the extent was limited. Gao Qi thought for a while, and a more complicated pattern appeared in his mind, so he threw the fireball out.
The fireball flew out at a speed that was not very fast. It did not fall to the ground, nor did it become bigger or smaller. However, with a thought from Gao Qi, the fireball stopped in the air.
However, Gao Qi still had some kind of spiritual connection with the fireball he created, but he was just a medium. The energy of the fireball came from the energy core in his hand.
With a thought from Gao Qi, the fireball did not explode or expand. It just began to fly back and forth in the air according to Gao Qi's will.
It looked neither spectacular nor grand, but Gao Qi knew the power contained in these fireballs. Because the energy core was rapidly shrinking, he could feel the energy contained in the fireball was rapidly increasing.
The energy core disappeared silently. Gao Qi lost control of the fireball. Then, he saw the fireball fall to the ground. Then, the fireball expanded from the size of a fist to countless times in an instant. Then, a scorching heat hit him in the face.
It was like a bomb, but it was not an explosion, but a deflagration. The moment the fireball exploded, Gao Qi had lost control of the fireball. He had indeed underestimated the fireball's power.
The extreme expansion of the hot air created a shockwave. Gao Qi was blown to the ground by a completely unstoppable gust of wind. Meanwhile, someone beside Bernhard said in horror, "Watch out!"
Three paranormals came forward. They worked together to erect an earth wall, blocking Gao Qi behind it. Then, the edge of the flame produced by the deflagration of the fireball, which was 100 meters away, hit the earth wall.
With a loud bang, Gao Qi's ears began to bleed. Then, he saw Bernhard waving his hands and shouting.
"The power of a thermobaric bomb is far beyond the power of a B-class paranormal. Hahaha …"
Bernhard grabbed Gao Qi's arm and shouted, "You're a genius!"
Gao Qi opened his left hand and showed Bernhard his empty palm. He said, "One energy core at a time. I just want to know if this thing is expensive."
Bernhard opened his mouth, and then his expression froze.
"I exchanged 100 detectors for this energy core. It's about 10,000 grams of gold. You're burning money."
Gao Qi's expression froze. Bernhard laughed and said, "But I don't care. Come on, continue the test!"
