Chapter 1881 He's Not A Poison-Element Martial Warrior But I Am! (1)
"Ancient Ice Runes!"
A strange glint flashed passed Wang Teng's eyes.
As the attribute bubbles merged into his mind, immediate insights surged forth.
Strange icy blue patterns etched themselves into his mind, exuding an incredibly ancient aura as if they contained the profound mysteries of the universe.
"Ice!"
Wang Teng was enlightened.
This was another special Ancient Runes!
Previously, he received the Ancient Lightning Runes and now, he had the Ancient Ice Runes. He was quite lucky.
Similar to the Ancient Lightning Runes, the Ancient Ice Runes bore the mysterious power of heaven and earth.
The Ancient Lightning Runes carried the power of lightning while the Ancient Ice Runes carried the power of extreme coldness from the heavens and the earth. Arrays inscribed with the Ancient Ice Runes were bound to possess this peculiar cold power.
In just a brief moment, Wang Teng had gained a deep understanding of the Ancient Ice Runes.
To many rune masters, ancient runes were too occult and mysterious, making mastery of them an extremely challenging endeavor.
Even when ancient runes were right in front of them, they still needed to invest a considerable amount of time to comprehend and understand them.
Most runemasters who lacked sufficient talent might not even be able to grasp them fully.
They knew the what but not the why!
They might know that these ancient runes were the Ancient Ice Runes, but they couldn't cross that threshold. Their vision seemed to be shrouded in mist, and they couldn't see anything.
However, for Wang Teng, none of this was a concern.
He only needed to pick up attribute bubbles and was able to grasp two unique ancient runes instantly.
If the rune grandmasters Wang Teng knew about this, they might turn green with envy.
Not just them, there were probably many rune grandmasters in the universe who didn't understand ancient runes very well. If they were to learn that Wang Teng, this incredibly young rune grandmaster, had mastered numerous ancient runes, they would wish to come and study under him.
In the field of runes, the best always leads.
Since Wang Teng had mastered ancient runes, he was their teacher in this aspect.
Once news about ancient runes spread, it would undoubtedly attract these rune masters like moths to a flame.
Many rune grandmasters were stuck at the grandmaster level and could never cross that threshold because they lacked sufficient knowledge about ancient runes. Their foundation was not deep enough, and their understanding of runes was not profound enough.
Although modern runes enabled many people to become rune masters and reach the grandmaster level, advancing further had become extremely difficult.
That didn't mean that he couldn't cross the threshold without mastering the Ancient Runes.
However, rune masters who hadn't mastered ancient runes were certainly weaker in terms of their foundation and various other aspects compared to those who had.
For a rune grandmaster who hadn't mastered ancient runes to advance to the divine level, he would need an incredibly profound understanding of runes and mastery of more rune techniques than ordinary rune masters.
Otherwise, the idea of crossing that threshold remained a pipe dream.
Wang Teng suddenly thought of Master Gorlin from the Xingwu Continent.
Master Gorlin was at the half-step grandmaster level. He hadn't crossed the threshold.
But achieving such a level was already quite remarkable.
It was because Master Golin possessed incredibly strong talent, and he had immersed himself in the field of runes for most of his life, giving him an understanding of runes far beyond that of ordinary people. This was how he managed to reach the half-step grandmaster level on a continent like the Xingwu Continent, which wasn't considered particularly strong in the broader universe.
In the past, the Xingwu Continent was extremely powerful compared to the Earth.
But, in the current perspective, the strength of the Xingwu Continent in the universe didn't rank very high.
Wang Teng felt that he should take some time to visit the Xingwu Continent. Now that Earth was on the right track, he felt he could lend a helping hand to the Xingwu Continent if needed.
After all, many people there had done him significant favors.
Wang Teng was especially grateful to Master Gorlin.
Master Gorlin had taken care of him during his early years of growth, a mentor he had never forgotten.
Now that he had grown, he could certainly provide some assistance to the Xingwu Continent within his capabilities.
Of course, these were thoughts for the future.
Wang Teng shook his head and didn't think too much. He slowly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to flash a peculiar and profound icy blue symbol.
That icy blue symbol quickly disappeared.
Wang Teng then looked down. The appearance of Ancient Ice Runes here signified one thing.
This sealing array was related to the force of extreme coldness.
What a clever method! Wang Teng's eyes sparkled with a peculiar light as he wondered to himself.
To arrange an array using the power of extreme coldness to restrain the Ice Hornless Dragon, the person who set up this array was either supremely confident or unconventional in their approach.
Generally, when it comes to countering the freezing power of the Ice Hornless Dragon, the first thing a runemaster would think of is using a fire-based array, rather than an ice-based one.
However, the individual who laid out this array chose to go against the norm.
This was certainly not something an ordinary rune master could achieve.
Wang Teng looked at his attributes board.
Ancient Runes: 1230/3000 (well-versed)
Wang Teng's mastery of age-old inscriptions had increased slightly. It wasn't much but the revelations of the Ancient Ice Runes were immensely valuable.
The Ice Hornless Dragon had been observing Wang Teng all along. She was curious whether Wang Teng had just happened to stop here or if he had genuinely discovered the crack in the seal array.
If he had indeed found the crack, then his knowledge of inscriptions was quite advanced for a human.
