"Wait, something seems off?"
Suddenly, Chu Chengzhou thought of a key point and fell into contemplation again.
There is no doubt that in the Douluo universe the chaos attribute exists, and if that attribute exists, there must be a corresponding law.
Is the fusion of the nine systems of soul power into chaos soul power?
Clearly not. At the very least the color is wrong. How could chaos-attribute soul power display nine-colored radiance?
What is more, if this nine-system fusion were chaos, then the progress bar for the Law of Chaos should already have appeared on the attribute panel.
In addition, since the Element Fusion secret art fed back to him that it was an eleven-system basic element fusion, then an eleven-system fusion must be feasible.
As the saying goes, what exists is reasonable. The Element Fusion secret art is something he "self-created" in the Douluo universe thanks to his cheat, so it must be usable in the Douluo universe. Otherwise Element Fusion would at most be a nine-system fusion art, not an eleven-system fusion art.
Carefully recalling every detail before and after the anomaly, Chu Chengzhou suddenly seemed to think of something, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
At once he raised his left hand. At his fingertip, wind, thunder, light, dark, and space soul power surged out and fused, then turned into an unknown-attribute soul power displaying cyan, purple, white, black, and silver.
At the same time, at the fingertip of his right hand, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth radiance surged and turned into Five Elements soul power.
Next, the two fingers met. The instant the completely different fused soul powers at the two fingertips made contact, a strong repulsive force appeared.
The repulsion was very strong, but Chu Chengzhou possessed the Element Fusion secret art and excelled at element fusion.
An hour later, after thousands of micro-adjustments, the repulsion between the two fused soul powers vanished and turned into a ten-colored ten-attribute fused soul power.
At once, Chu Chengzhou was overjoyed.
Why was it that with the same ten different attributes participating, the earlier attempt was great terror, while this time it succeeded?
Nothing else. Perhaps in the Douluo universe, nine being the extreme number is correct, but after the five of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth perfectly fuse, they become a single Five Elements soul power, not five elemental soul powers.
In other words, the "ten-attribute fused soul power" at his fingertip now seems to be formed by fusing ten different elemental attributes, but in fact it is formed by fusing six different attributes: Five Elements, wind, thunder, light, dark, and space.
Why not two?
Because in the Douluo world's rule judgment, the soul power formed by fusing wind, thunder, light, dark, and space is not, like the Four Symbols or Five Elements soul power, an attribute acknowledged by the world rules. This can be seen from the fact that no progress bar for the corresponding law appeared in the laws tab on the attribute panel.
Since no law progress bar appeared, that means the Douluo universe has no law for this attribute, and without a corresponding law, that elemental concept does not exist.
As for why the first attempt at ten-system element fusion produced "great terror," it was because Chu Chengzhou did not use Five Elements soul power to fuse the other five elemental soul powers. At the very start he tried a six-system soul power fusion.
In the world rule's judgment, directly fusing gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind soul power at most allows the fusion of three more other attributes.
But once gold, wood, water, fire, and earth fuse into Five Elements soul power, then fusing it with wind counts as a two-attribute fusion. Since nine is the extreme number, on that basis one can at most fuse seven more other attributes.
With this clear, Chu Chengzhou completely set aside his worry about "great terror" and planned to press the advantage by trying to fuse in the final time attribute soul power to achieve all-element basic fusion.
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.
"It worked… or maybe it failed again?"
Staring at the strand of fused soul power at his fingertip that displayed eleven-colored radiance, Chu Chengzhou could not help feeling excited, yet along with the excitement came a trace of dejection.
By using the method of first fusing the Five Elements to bypass the world rule that nine is the extreme number, he tinkered together an eleven-system element fusion, but it seemed meaningless.
Compared to the earlier Four Symbols and Five Elements, the eleven-system fusion did greatly increase soul power quality, yet it did not give birth to the seed of the Law of Chaos he had long awaited.
"Maybe the sequence is wrong?"
Letting his thoughts disperse, Chu Chengzhou mused inwardly.
"I have the correct sequence."
Opening the attribute panel and watching the laws tab for any new change, a wisp of Four Symbols soul power formed from earth, water, fire, and wind rose at the tip of his right index finger. Then the seven systems of gold, wood, thunder, light, dark, time, and space emerged one by one and were fused with the Four Symbols soul power in turn.
To find the correct fusion sequence for chaos-attribute soul power, as long as he was willing to spend time on trial and error, he would certainly find it.
As for whether the fusion soul power he produced was right or wrong, the attribute panel would promptly give feedback.
For example, if Four Symbols soul power fused with gold-attribute soul power and this unknown five-system fused soul power were an attribute acknowledged by the world rules, then the laws tab on the attribute panel would display the progress bar for the law corresponding to that attribute.
Moments later, after testing the seven systems one by one with the Four Symbols soul power and seeing no change in the laws tab, Chu Chengzhou shook his head with slight regret.
If the Four Symbols do not work, then switch to the Five Elements.
If that still does not work… nmmp, how about becoming a god through the Four Symbols or Five Elements laws instead?
"No. I want to become the strongest god in Douluo."
Chu Chengzhou immediately rejected the thought. Knowing there is a stronger path, how could he be so short-sighted? It was only a matter of spending more time on trial and error.
There were only eleven basic elements anyway. Even closing his eyes and trying endlessly, there would come a day when the clouds parted and the moon shone through.
After the Four Symbols soul power, Chu Chengzhou, eyes fixed on the laws tab, tried using Five Elements soul power to fuse each of the other attributes in turn.
Five Elements plus wind? No.
Five Elements plus thunder? No.
Five Elements plus light? No.
Five Elements plus dark? Still no.
Five Elements plus time? Also no.
Five Elements plus space? Again and again and yet again…
"??? It worked?"
At once, Chu Chengzhou saw that the laws tab on the attribute panel had gained the entry [??? (0.1%)].
Staring at the strand of white soul power that had formed when the Five Elements soul power at the tip of his right index finger, originally interwoven gold, green, blue, red, and yellow, fused with silver space soul power, Chu Chengzhou fell into thought.
Here is the question. Five Elements plus space, what attribute is this?
