Currently, Huo Yuhao's research on alchemy is not particularly deep. He
is still in the theoretical exploration stage, and the knowledge he has discovered is scattered and cannot be effectively connected.
Based on the inscriptions carried by the Reversal Formula, Huo Yuhao has now completed 80% of its deconstruction.
He has revealed the specific symbolism of the twenty-eight inscriptions.
Among them, six elemental inscriptions are called the foundational inscriptions by Huo Yuhao.
They are Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Void, and Spirit.
The Earth elemental inscription represents medium and force. Without this inscription as a foundation, any combination of inscriptions cannot establish a connection. Used alone, it can change the internal stress of an object, causing it to disintegrate, and can also slightly affect gravity.
The Wind elemental inscription represents movement and change. This inscription can adjust the state of the other inscriptions, and used alone, it can control airflow, air density and humidity, and change the speed of moving objects.
The Water elemental inscription represents structure. It can establish a dynamic or static spatial model around it, and adjust the arrangement in the model to make it an ideal model.
For example, it can arrange water molecules in a tetrahedral structure to form ice.
The fire element inscription represents energy, controlling its transfer and transformation—from mechanical energy to internal energy, and from kinetic energy to potential energy.
The void element inscription represents mystery; without it, alchemy malfunctions or even goes out of control. It seems this inscription maintains the connection between the text and the authority.
The spirit element inscription represents information; this inscription controls the entire inscription matrix, distributing the user's will as information to each inscription.
These are the basic inscriptions deconstructed by Huo Yuhao. An alchemical matrix must possess these six inscriptions to be meaningful.
For example, the reversal spell is composed of these basic inscriptions arranged in different quantities and orders around a core matrix.
This core matrix consists of twisting inscriptions, collecting inscriptions, flipping inscriptions, and balancing inscriptions, making its structure extremely complex.
Even with the aid of his spiritual eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, there were still some results; he could now inscribe a monkey-style reversal spell.
It could reverse spiritual power and basic elements such as water, fire, earth, and wind.
It couldn't reverse advanced elements like dark elements, and the inscription would collapse on its own after three uses.
But it was still enough.
Huo Yuhao put away the alchemical matrix he was inscribing because he sensed a familiar person had arrived.
"Master, I'm here."
Jiang Nannan's clear and melodious voice entered the clinic before she did.
Today was her last morning at the clinic; she would be heading to Shrek Academy with the convoy that afternoon.
Huo Yuhao had specifically asked her to come early today so he could inscribe the monkey-style reversal spell he had painstakingly devised for her.
He couldn't help it; he was still a little scared. Jiang Nannan was now one of his people.
Shrek Academy was a dangerous place, especially since Jiang Nannan would likely become one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
If, during the Holy Spirit Cult's expedition to exterminate evil soul masters led by Elder Xuanzi, she were suddenly struck by a corpse explosion by the Grim Reaper,
that would instantly become just another number in the glorious record of the strongest soul king.
Not only that, but there's also Ma Xiaotao in the inner courtyard. If he loses control and bumps into her, Huo Yuhao will only be able to burn paper money for her every Qingming Festival.
That would be a truly tragic loss, with no one to even cry to.
It's safe to say that if something happens, no one can protect her.
Damn it, Shrek Academy is like a den of demons.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao must inscribe a reversal spell on her, not for any other reason than hoping she won't die at the hands of the Mingdou Mountains or Shrek Academy.
"Nannan, come, sit next to me."
Huo Yuhao patted the stool beside him, gesturing for her to sit down.
Jiang Nannan's face flushed slightly, and she gently gathered her skirt behind her back before sitting on the stool.
Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony, directly taking her flawless white arm and placing it on the table.
He said to her, "It might hurt a little. I'm going to inscribe something on you."
Jiang Nannan nodded. She trusted Huo Yuhao completely and would approve of whatever he did.
Huo Yuhao picked up the pen made of amber spirit gold, mixed soul power and spiritual power in a ratio of 14:86, and began to inscribe it on her arm.
The strange, azure blue inscriptions flowed smoothly under Huo Yuhao's pen, slowly emerging on her arm without ruining its beauty, but instead adding a touch of noble mystery.

Jiang Nannan felt her arm getting hot, and her soul power was restless, as if drawn to the inscription and trying to concentrate on her arm.
"Hold on, don't let your soul power come over."
"Okay!"
Jiang Nannan suppressed her soul power with all her might, pursing her lips and watching Huo Yuhao's movements.
She was very curious about the inscription in front of her, feeling that it contained great mystery, and each inscription was full of indescribable beauty.
Her spiritual power was leaping, and her life force was singing.
This inscription lasted for half an hour. Huo Yuhao was covered in sweat, and beads of sweat dripped from his chin.
When Jiang Nannan saw this, she thoughtfully took out a handkerchief with her free hand to wipe it for him.
"It's done!"
Huo Yuhao raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.
"Come on, Nannan, inject your spiritual power into your right hand and sense the information."
Jiang Nannan did as she was told, and then her pupils suddenly contracted.
Her mouth opened slightly, and she clearly sensed the information of a soul skill from her arm.
"A reversal technique?"
"Reversing mental power and basic elements?!"
Jiang Nannan stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. He had simply drawn some runes on her arm, and she suddenly possessed a new soul skill.
Moreover, the effect of this soul skill was even more unbelievable—reversing elements, and even undergoing quality transformation.
In the common knowledge of soul masters on the Douluo Continent, there were only three ways to obtain soul skills: soul rings, soul bones, and self-creation.
Now, she had witnessed a fourth path. If the teachers at Shrek Academy knew this, they would probably go crazy.
Or rather, every soul master would go crazy for it.
After all, she knew very well that almost all soul masters had an almost obsessive passion for becoming stronger.
Once the head of the academy was exposed, it might attract countless greedy people.
Jiang Nannan made up her mind that she would never use this soul skill unless absolutely necessary, and she absolutely could not cause trouble for Headmaster Huo.
"Master... this?"
Huo Yuhao patted her head and said, "This is a life-saving measure for you. You should know the information. It can only be used three times, so use it sparingly."
Seeing her expression, Huo Yuhao chuckled, "It's alright, don't worry."
"If I want to hide, no one can find me."
"Even if they find me, I'm confident I can kill them."
Jiang Nannan nodded emphatically and said,
"Master is the strongest!"
Huo Yuhao quickly stopped her, saying, "Invincibility is a debuff, you can't say that."
Jiang Nannan didn't care and still clenched her fists, insisting, "In my heart, Master is the strongest."
Huo Yuhao couldn't argue with her, so he could only give in.
She stayed in the clinic until the afternoon, only leaving reluctantly when the convoy was about to depart.
Under the sunlight, the two shadows stretched long until they met.
She turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Master, then, goodbye."
"We'll definitely meet again, won't we?"
Seeing the girl's tearful eyes and choked voice, Huo Yuhao said, "Yes, we will. Parting is just a period of waiting."
Jiang Nannan wiped away her tears and said,
"Master, I will definitely carry on your medical skills throughout Shrek City!"
"Next time we meet, I will be even stronger!"
