Chapter 725 New Truth

The knowledge that their king told her at this time completely refreshed Zhuang Mengdie's original cognition, but it also brought more questions.

Zhou Xu certainly could not answer all these questions one by one.

It's just like he can't explain why one plus one equals two. To a modern person like Zhou Xu, a lot of the knowledge here is close to common sense and cannot be explained at all.

If you try to explain, there will probably be countless whys afterwards.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu used the simplest and most brutal method.

That is, you don't need to figure it out, you just need to know that it exists.

After arranging these matters and having some appropriate discussions with Zhuang Mengdie, Zhou Xu got up and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, ready to take some time to test the mantras he had obtained.

This matter has already delayed him for quite a while, and now he finally has some time to spare.

He set the test location outside the city in the direction of Huangsha City, twenty miles west of the city. While ensuring that he would not encounter the enemy, he also avoided running into the traveling team, which was just convenient for Zhou Xu to study the mantra here.

Out of caution, Zhou Xu ordered his elven knights to spread out and patrol the periphery to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in and getting injured.

Standing in the open space, Zhou Xu sorted out his thoughts a little.

[The mantra for the 'Lightning Attack' seems to consume a lot of energy. What if the mantra is used up after a few tests? Wouldn't that mean I won't be able to do other tests?]

Zhou Xu came out this time not just to set off a few lightning bolts and then go back.

At the same time, the Lightning Attack Mantra itself actually requires very little testing. It is nothing more than testing the attack distance and power. The effect itself is very direct and clear.

So, taking this into consideration, Zhou Xu thought that he could first test the mantra combinations that he had figured out after obtaining a large number of mantra characters, which should be quite feasible.

Not to mention that he also found a mantra phrase that seemed to be quite versatile, "加祉"! The two mantra characters "加" and "持" have a high degree of compatibility. Putting them together, they can directly form the mantra phrase "加祉".

To some extent, Zhou Xu actually had this mantra phrase a long time ago.

That is the 'basic weapon blessing' borrowed from the silver steel swords of the elven knights.

However, he only has the authority to use this mantra combination, but not the authority to disassemble it.

And now, he finally has his own 'blessing'.

It is probably because the true ownership of the 'blessing' mantra in the 'basic weapon blessing' does not belong to him, so the two 'blessings' did not merge together, and maintained a clear distinction in Zhou Xu's spiritual sea.

During this time, while Zhou Xu drew out the crystal iron sword from his waist, Silk had already fixed the iron ingot he brought out on the wooden stake.

This is an iron ingot prepared in advance because of the consideration that the wooden stake may be cut off in one go and no measurement result can be obtained.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xu swung his sword, and the sharp blade left a visible cut on the iron ingot.

Afterwards, Zhou Xu was seen reciting the mantra.

【Attack blessing. 】

In an instant, the invisible force was drawn by the mantra and added to the crystal iron sword in his hand. Faintly, it seemed that the entire blade became sharper.

Holding the hilt tightly, Zhou Xu slightly adjusted his position. With the same angle and the same force, he swung the knife again, leaving another knife mark on the iron ingot! After two cuts, Zhou Xu moved forward and compared the two knife marks. Although they were not particularly obvious, it was still possible to see that after obtaining the "Attack Blessing", the knife mark was cut deeper.

Zhou Xu was delighted when he got this result.

It was not only because he had successfully put together an effective mantra combination, but also because as long as the 'attack blessing' was effective, then the mantra he was going to test next would definitely work!

【Speed ​​boost! 】

The effect of 'speed blessing' is much more obvious than that of 'attack blessing'. In a simple swing of the sword, Zhou Xu can feel the increase in the speed of swinging the sword relatively clearly.

As someone who has been studying the truth for several years, he has basically figured out the reasons.

To put it simply, the directionality of 'speed' is clearer, so the bonus is higher, while the range of 'attack' is too large.

To be honest, increasing the speed of a weapon is also considered as increasing the attack, right? So "attack enhancement" is actually a disguised comprehensive enhancement, which enhances many aspects, but the enhancement is not so obvious.

Of course, these are not the point.

Whether it is 'attack blessing' or 'speed blessing', for Zhou Xu, they are just warm-ups. What he really wants to try is the latter move.

Taking a deep breath, the mysterious mantra came out of Zhou Xu's mouth.

【Lightning blessing! 】

At that moment, the electric light suddenly jumped on the crystal iron sword.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Haha! It's done!"

There was no time to think about it. He held the crystal iron sword tightly and swung it down. In an instant, lightning splashed everywhere! After one swipe, the lightning on the crystal iron sword disappeared completely.

【Only one hit? 】

As the thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu's sight quickly fell on the cut mark left by his "Lightning Slash".

Judging from the depth of the cut mark alone, there is not much difference from the previous cut marks.

This means that 'Lightning Blessing' did not provide him with any physical damage, but magical damage!

At this moment, the iron ingot was electrocuted black with the cut mark as the center.

At the same time, because iron is conductive, the wooden stakes used to fix the iron ingots were also burnt by electricity.

Imagine if this knife could hit a person directly. Even if it didn't hit a vital point, the electric current would instantly spread throughout the body, and a normal person would be crippled if not killed.

Of course, we can't expect this to be too good.

At least just now, the weakness has been exposed, that is, the lightning added to the blade will be completely released in the next attack. Once added, only one "Lightning Slash" can be launched.

In addition, this "lightning blessing" does not mean that it will always exist as long as you don't attack.

Just now, Zhou Xu conducted a test. After applying the 'lightning blessing' to the crystal iron sword, he did not launch any attacks. As a result, after only three seconds, all the lightning on it dissipated.

And during these three seconds, the lightning on the blade is constantly fading.

In other words, it is most powerful when it is just applied, and its power decreases every second for the next three seconds.

This undoubtedly further limits the effectiveness of this move and reduces its effectiveness.
