Chapter 261: Chapter 177: Erosion Chapter_3

Ron thought for a moment and nodded:

"Of course. In fact, maintaining dual forms is beneficial and harmless to your ability development. You can switch between human and tree forms as needed, which is one of the talent abilities of ancient tree fairies."

After Ailan left, he returned to the desk and carefully recorded today’s discoveries and thoughts.

Ailan’s transformation provided valuable firsthand material, verifying many hypotheses about bloodline evolution.

Especially the construction of the energy storage and creation organ, which might provide inspiration for the future "Melting Furnace Concept"...

...

In the following time, Ron turned his attention to another project—research and application of "Ravings."

This record ability originating from starry sky monsters contains tremendous potential.

But integrating it effectively into his own magic system is a daunting challenge.

Ron stood in the acoustics laboratory of the workshop, in front of a series of precision instruments and crystal recording devices.

He had already tried dozens of times to integrate the special frequency of "Ravings" into sound wave vibration magic, but the effect was never ideal.

"Zz... Kluru... Nyag... Rotip..."

Ron strived to reproduce that peculiar combination of syllables while releasing precisely controlled spiritual power.

The energy fluctuation graph in the crystal ball showed that constructing these syllables himself indeed could induce specific spiritual interference patterns.

But the effect was dispersed and unstable, far less impactful than the original ravings.

"Still too far off."

Ron frowned and flipped through the recorded data:

"The syllables themselves are fine, but there’s a huge gap in the transmission medium and energy model."

He rubbed his temples, feeling a trace of fatigue.

After several hours of continuous attempts, there was almost no substantial progress.

At this moment, his gaze fell on a small violin in the corner of the room—it was a gift from Trish before.

"Wait..." A flash of inspiration struck: "Maybe the problem isn’t with the syllables themselves, but with the transmission method?"

Ron swiftly walked over and picked up the violin.

The violin, a precision instrument that can produce complex resonances.

Its four strings are tuned in specific ratios, capable of producing rich overtones and various timbre changes.

Although he only had a basic understanding, with the aid of talent bonuses, he could fluently play some complex pieces.

"Sound is a form of energy transfer."

Ron gently plucked the strings with his fingers:

"Musical instruments can generate complex harmonic structures, far more stable and precise than human voice. If the energy model of ravings is integrated into music..."

He began rapidly sketching various string vibration models and harmonic charts on paper, combining the frequency data of the ravings with music theory.

"If ravings are a special vibration mode, then perhaps it can be recreated with an instrument..."

Flipping through the notes recorded while studying music theory some time ago, which detailed the relationships between string length, tension, and pitch.

"Different string lengths and tensions produce different vibration frequencies, more attempts are needed..." Ron muttered to himself.

He started a series of calculations, decomposing the sound wave pattern of ravings into multiple basic frequencies, and then deducing the necessary string lengths and pressing positions.

With in-depth analysis, a bold hypothesis gradually formed:

"Theoretically, specific combinations of notes could simulate the spiritual impact effect of ravings and might be even more covert and efficient."

Ron picked up the violin and started trying a simple sequence of notes based on the calculated frequency combination.

The bow drew across the strings, producing a sound that seemed ordinary but contained carefully designed subtle frequency variations.

Simple playing naturally had no effect, but when he tried to infuse his own magic power and utilize spiritual power to assist in constructing that type of special sound wave...

Ron could distinctly feel the slight vibration of the surrounding air, not only physically but also a kind of spiritual fluctuation.

A plant in the corner of the laboratory slightly trembled, and the edges of its leaves began to turn yellow.

"There is an effect!" Ron immediately stopped playing and quickly walked over to examine the plant.

Through "Extraordinary Recognition," he could clearly see that the energy flow inside the plant was disrupted, showing weak symptoms similar to pollution.

Although the impact was small, it proved that his theory was feasible.

It seemed that using music as a medium was easier to conduct than simply replicating, perhaps, music wasn’t even the best transmission medium.

In the following time, Ron immersed himself in this new research direction.

He constantly adjusted note combinations, playing techniques, and energy input methods, recording every subtle change in each experiment.

"Align the frequency of ’Zz’ with certain intervals in D minor, while applying mild spiritual power fluctuations..."

Ron played and recorded simultaneously:

"’Kluru’ requires a special vibrato technique to simulate the energy distortion effect within it."

After countless attempts and failures, Ron gradually mastered a basic "Erosion Chapter" technique:

A special playing style capable of silently penetrating the target’s spiritual defenses.

Even without directly emitting those specific syllables, similar spiritual interference effects could be triggered.

"Additionally, the most astonishing discovery is that musical instruments seem to act as an energy amplifier." Ron noted in his research log:

"The same spiritual power input, after being transmitted through the violin, was enhanced by about 30% and was more covert. The target might even be influenced unconsciously, this subtle erosion method already holds value. But there is still some deficiency for use in sudden encounters during combat..."

However, he also clearly recognized that this research path had just begun, and there was a long way to go before truly mastering the "Erosion Chapter."

"This technique holds great potential but equally entails exceptional danger."

He recorded at the end of his log:

"Even with brief experiments, I could sense a minor rebound effect. We must proceed with caution to ensure we don’t lose control while pursuing power. Bold hypotheses, cautious verification, that is always the first principle."

Ron put down his pen, looking at the violin on the table and the densely packed experimental records.

This time, although there was no breakthrough progress, he confirmed the correct direction.

Like all great discoveries, real success often requires the accumulation of time and countless small improvements.

He carefully put away the violin and tidied up the experiment table, preparing for a new day.

The workshop would soon be lively, his students would come to prepare breakfast, Ailan would tend to the garden, and Dale would clamor to learn new skills.
