If not for the avatar of his master, Sword Flash, rushing over to save him, Thor would have exploded and died. Even then, he had essentially become useless for this invasion.
Thunder Drake came over to him and said, "Things are bad."
Lady Evergreen also had something to say. She frowned and said, "Not only is there a lack of mana here, but we can't even use the mana we brought with us."
Sword Flash examined Thor's body thoroughly before saying, "It seems so."
Then he said to everyone in the army, "There is good news and bad news."
"The bad news is that it looks like spells are out of the question. Any use of mana for spells risks disruption by the strong magnetic field. There is a risk of an explosion or the backfiring of the spell."
"The good news is that the strong magnetic field can help you temper the control of your internal energy. If you're at the third mortal coil, this will help you master the host technique quickly, which will help you meet the requirements to advance to the golden core earlier than normal."
"But if you're at the fourth mortal coil already, there is nothing to gain from this. In fact, you are in danger of losing your life if you try to use a spell."
"Especially those of you who have cultivated the Divine Lightning Armament. Lightning is normally violent, so this situation that makes you lose control of your energy will be very bad for you and for the people around you when you explode."
"Only those who cultivated the Everlasting Wood Art or those at the fifth mortal coil are safe from the strong magnetic field. The wood element is mellow, so it is easier to control and less difficult to lose control of."
"And even if you lose control of the wood element energy, you are in no danger of dying. Aside from those who cultivate the wood element, the rest of you at the fourth mortal coil and the third mortal coil can only use your body to fight."
"As for those of you at the fifth mortal coil and who possess spiritual energy, you have nothing to worry about. Regardless of which element you are cultivating, you can't lose control because of spiritual energy. After all, spiritual energy makes your energy behave like a part of your body."
As he said this, the three nascent soul cultivators chuckled. Then they glanced briefly at Arthur to see his reaction.
Some of them had a look of disdain on their face, while others looked at him calmly. But all of them were hoping that he would make a fool out of himself by reacting the same way Thor had.
So they were disappointed when Arthur continued to stand at the head of the army with a calm expression on his face. He didn't appear to be struggling like the others at the fourth mortal coil.
His behavior made one of them sneer and say to the others, "He is just pretending. Let's see how he can hold up when the fighting begins."
The others snickered and jeered at him amongst themselves. Their faces were calm and straight, though. They were also quiet and secretive with what they were saying.
No matter what they thought of him, they made sure that they were communicating with their spiritual sense and didn't show any external behavior that would hint at the fact that they were mocking him.
They didn't dare to openly mock him for fear of offending the patriarchs and ancestors or worse, offending Arthur. After all, Arthur is not even at the fifth mortal coil, yet he is stronger than them. If he were to survive and advance in the future, he would be a great enemy to them.
Arthur had a calm look on his face because his mind was focused on something very different from the topic of losing control of their energy. He wasn't thinking about losing control of his energy because he had nothing to worry about in that particular aspect.
In fact, not only did he have nothing to worry about, but his situation was directly opposite to the situation of others. When other golden core cultivators felt out of place and struggled to contain their internal energy, he felt like a fish in water.
He felt warm and at home. This was all because of his Magnetic Field Manipulation talent.
This talent made it so that it is easy for him to draw energy from the magnetic wind currents into his golden core. So no, he had nothing to worry about regarding the matter of losing control of his internal energy.
As he tried to absorb energy from his environment into his golden core, he found that it was easier to do than absorbing mana in Ethera for cultivation. He also discovered that his cultivation speed was nearly on par with cultivating with heavenly lightning.
This was all because the strong magnetic field of Aurora was enhanced and combined with the magnetic field of his golden core, making it so that he could absorb energy from an area that is effectively 100 times his usual cultivation range.
So instead of putting him at a risk of exploding, the strong magnetic field has effectively improved his cultivation by 100 times. This is why his energy recovery speed and cultivation speed are through the roof.
His eyes lit up in understanding as he said, "I bet this is how a god's physique must feel when environmental mental bends to their will like this."
After realizing this, his eyes dimmed, and he said with some regret, "I wish I had waited to come to Aurora to cultivate instead of spending all of that money on cultivating with heavenly lightning."
He said this because he was bitter about the loss of money he incurred cultivating with heavenly lightning when he could have cultivated for free here in Aurora at nearly the same speed and without the danger.
