After looking through different Technique mantras, he wanted to gobble up all of the techniques available, but he knew he couldn't .
The First issue was he didn't have enough contribution points and secondly he had already figured out that the earth and fire elements had more affinity to him .
As far as other elements are concerned he will need to spend more time and effort to learn them.
Above all, earth elemental techniques had more power when he cast them and it was less energy consuming for him.
So it was a highly efficient method in a battle situation.
In a battle if he was to use a technique that used a large amount of his warrior essence and only gave out puny results, it would be like digging his own grave.
This was also the main reason why people focused on fewer techniques, which were more efficient and useful for them.
But this mainly applied for mid grade and above technique.
As for low grade techniques people would try to collect different kinds of low grade techniques, who knows what will be effective in which situation.
Dror was attracted to a specific technique called stone body technique. This came under a series of techniques called Earth elemental body transformation, Stone body was the first in the series.
He knew how to create a golem but turning his own body into a golem was a different case.
The technique didn't just turn his body into stone.
The greatest advantage was that his defense would improve drastically , his body's ability to take an attack or great impacts would also increase several fold.
Not to mention the ability to create a greater impact on each attack.
The problem was this technique alone cost him 900 contribution points, even after the discount he got as a captain in the army.
But he was not stingy this time as he had this vague feeling that if he learned this technique all his other Earth elemental techniques will also improve drastically.
He didn't have much choice with only 100points left, so he invested all of it in lowest grade ball techniques.
He had already learned the fire ball and water ball from the violet flower village.
Even though they were called ball techniques the real name of these techniques were Basic Element controlling techniques .
Ball techniques were the most common technique throughout the world, Even though it was called ball series.
It just involved changing warrior essence into a particular element and compressing it into different forms.
One could give any form to the element, but the control was difficult and it was hard to form different shapes.
A sphere was the easiest to form with the lowest cost of one's energy.
At the same time one could compress the energy easily in ball shape, which gave a higher impact to the attack.
Even then the energy consumption of the ball techniques were high and the impact was only at best as good as a plasma gun.
But a plasma gun would cost no energy from the warrior, so a warrior would practice ball techniques to gain better control and understanding of the elements rather than using it in a real fight.
unless the person has no weapons.
More than that even though these are just basic element controlling techniques, a person needs to have a certain understanding and affinity to control the elements.
Otherwise one would waste a lot of warrior essence.
As far as the mutated elements are concerned, one could not even transform the warrior essence into that particular element if one didn't have a certain affinity.
The violet flower village only had 3 ball techniques: earth, fire and water.
He could have learned other techniques from the hunter association at a cost but he was in no rush.
Then suddenly all kinds of things happened and he had to leave the village.
But now in the library he found all kinds of ball techniques, even the mutated one's which cost more points.
Dror was particularly interested in two elements, the wood element and lightning.
Ever since he consumed the green jade he could feel the surrounding forest and plants, which was more or less the wood domain so he wanted to check how good he was with it.
As for lightning, he thought it would be really cool to have lightning technique .... like when you wanted to make a cool entrance, you could just use lightning form on you hands and legs, and then his imagination was going wild with all kinds of cool dialogue that he could spout out after the sparkling entrance.
In the end he choose the basic wood element controlling technique and a mocking comment came from inside
" What an idiot...at least you are not that dumb to choose the lightning..."
The Evil sword has been observing every move made by Dror.
It was shocking to see that he was hesitant to choose the wood element to which he had an affinity and has been looking at the lightning technique with drool.
Dror was keen on spending all the points as it would be pretty useless in the outside world , so it was better to spend it all as soon as possible.
