Louis and Olivia walked out of the tree hole in a depressed mood.
The little swan felt a little confused and said speechlessly: "At least I can move now."
She actually didn't quite understand why Lumi set up such training.
After all, this kind of high-pressure training method should be more suitable for professionals like Jiujian who are interested in honing their physical fitness.
A mage like her always feels a little out of place.
But Lumi made it clear that she had to accept the training honestly, as it would determine her future development.
The little swan listened to the advice, and when he saw the head maid said this with certainty, he agreed reluctantly.
If she were given another chance, she would definitely strengthen her belief and decisively refuse.
“It hurts…”
The little swan covering his head doesn't have a very good expression.
Louis on the side wasn't much better.
Little Swan merely increased the effect of gravity by several times, but he directly increased it to 5 times.
To put it bluntly, if ordinary people were faced with such gravity, without the protection of blood and qi, problems would have arisen long ago in their internal organs.
Five times the gravity does not simply mean increasing your body weight five times.
There will be problems with blood circulation, the weight-bearing capacity of the five internal organs, and blood supply to the brain.
Before the training began, Lumi and Louis made it clear: "The focus of this training is to sharpen your blood and energy strength and further improve your combat endurance, especially gravity magic."
"The long-term activation of gravity magic forces you to devote most of your energy to maintaining the high-speed circulation of blood and qi."
"Louis, you like the fighting endurance that your succubus bloodline has given you a little too much. Next, you need to get used to fighting against the 'weak' as an ordinary person."
These words made Louis' expression change slightly.
What Lumi said actually made sense. He was indeed too dependent on the recovery of the succubus's physique and treated his skills as basic attacks.
He will get tired one day.
Once the intensity of the battle reaches the point where he cannot even replenish his basic blood and energy supply, he will face a dilemma -
He lacks the means to effectively target enemies while only being able to use normal attacks.
Recalling the previous operations of capturing the Kupari bird, he had already understood something.
Lumi hopes that he and Little Swan can complete further skill development.
"From having a sword that is so sharp that no one can stop it, to making light of heavy objects, to making heavy objects seem light?"
Based on this series of training, Louis vaguely sensed the training effect that Lumi wanted them to achieve.
This is a bit like the growth pattern of Dugu Qiubai in Mr. Jin's works.
When I first entered the industry, I learned a lot of martial arts and magic, and tried my best to make up for my shortcomings in various aspects.
Louis and Cygnet were both at this stage at first.
Louis has mastered at least thirty or forty kinds of martial arts, and Little Swan's is even more exaggerated. She has mastered more than 100 kinds of spells alone.
It can be said that having reached this point now, they have accumulated enough foundation to deal with opponents in various environments.
But that’s not enough.
After studying various martial arts and spells to a certain level, they all need to improve their control over martial arts and spells so that their skills can be controlled freely.
But now, both of them have already stepped half a foot into this realm.
It's not his talent that matters, but the restraint vest he wears.
A restraint vest that can limit supernatural powers is definitely different from the restraint suits originally used to restrain dangerous criminals.
It is now a limitation, not a restriction.
Through this method of restriction, Olivia and his power were weakened to a very subtle level.
Want to be able to control yourself?
The simplest way is to hold you back from the beginning. No matter how much you release, the upper limit is there.
And because of the excessive consumption, you are forced to control your own strength carefully.
This is to enter this state directly through external objects.
When Louis and Little Swan were in this state, they were able to use their own energy on the most critical areas and successfully pass the on-site trial.
Then the training requirements for this stage have been met.
Only then will you take every little thing seriously.
Use minimal force to inflict maximum damage.
final……
Reach the highest state that a Nine Swords professional can achieve.
That is permanent skills.
This is the state of having no moves and being better than having moves, without being bound by techniques.
A typical example is Keno.
To this day, Louis has not been able to turn the explosive state of Keno Breathing into a permanent state.
You know, he learned the Kino breathing method a long time ago.
But after such a long time, he still hasn't been able to advance the breathing method to a permanent state like Keno.
Louis looked at the little swan.
Not to mention the mage.
Louis was very curious about what the permanent state of a mage like Little Swan was like.
It took the two poor temporarily weakened guys quite a bit of effort to successfully catch the second beast.
…
Day 3.
Louis first completed the continuous control of his own blood and qi acceleration.
Permanent ability, get!
That night, in tiredness and confusion, a faint light emerged from the little swan's body.
Circuits of magic power appeared on her body.
Amid Louis's stunned expression, Little Swan transformed the inner circulation of mental power into the outer circulation of magic power.
It was also the first time that Louis learned from the little swan that this was a [Magic Enhancement] technique often used by battle mages.
Over the years, those battle mages have developed and their skills have returned to their original simplicity.
Especially in basic defense and basic attack, it has taken a completely different path from traditional mages.
then……
There were more than a dozen explosions in succession.
A dozen or so light balls around the motionless little swan instantly shot out a dozen streams of magic power, blasting a medium-sized monster back.
But after it took a few steps back, it realized something was wrong.
A silent figure had suddenly stood in his retreating path.
Looking at the fallen leaf on his shoulder, he seemed to have been standing here for a long time.
Before the monster's brain could react.
A flash of light passed by.
The monster's head fell to the ground.
The little swan looked at Louis' calm eyes and suddenly felt that "this boy is so terrifying."
But while she took a breath of cold air, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
She's not bad either.
Yes.
Louis has unlocked a permanent state of rapid blood and qi circulation.
Compared to breathing techniques that will further squeeze one's own strength, blood circulation itself is an operation performed spontaneously by the body.
He just accelerated this phenomenon, which was different from Sheng Shengduo developing a new operating system in his body.
Also, breathing is a very strange behavior.
If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself.
When you are not aware that you are breathing instinctively, your body will breathe automatically.
However, once you notice your breathing rhythm and begin to consciously control it, it will be difficult to return to your instinctive breathing state.
In particular, the more you try to leave your breathing to your body's instincts, the more difficult it will be to escape this state.
This continues until your focus is completely on other areas.
Therefore, methods like Keno breathing, which directly and permanently adjust the breathing rate, are actually difficult to achieve.
This is not something that can be achieved simply by studying.
This requires a change in body instincts.
The little swan was also a little dazed.
She never expected that she would develop the basic battle mage skills [Magic Arrow X] and [Magic Barrier] to this extent in such a short time.
Due to the limitation of spell slots, some powerful spells often enter a long cooldown period after use.
It can be said that the title of Master "Crispy Chicken" comes from this.
When the spell slots have not been restored, the mages' close combat capabilities will indeed show a significant drop.
It would be fine if it was a wizard like Olivia who had received orthodox training.
The teachings at St. Louis College never lack training for mages to use staffs to fight.
You think I am a fragile person, but then you will realize what "the evil of human nature" is.
The stick that suddenly appeared could make you sing "Lift up your veil".
But it’s not enough, far from enough.
Battle mages won't allow themselves to be in such a situation.
They are more extreme.
A battle mage is a magical freak who has to keep fighting from beginning to end.
So we have Tunisia's famous [Magic Arrow X] and [Magic Barrier].
With the help of a staff or magic book, through magic skills + mechanized mind, a temporary false mental model with extremely long duration is generated.
The only use of this mental model is to continuously draw on the great source of magic that permeates the air and the earth.
Since this kind of magic power has not been purified by the body, it cannot be used as magic power for regular spells.
The magic circle also uses the great source of magic power, but the mixed parts of the great source of magic power will be purified through a specific magic circle before it can serve as the energy source of the magic circle.
But this problem is not a problem for [Magic Arrow X] and [Magic Barrier].
The so-called [Magic Arrow X] is a method that allows the mage to bypass the spell slot, use a false mental model, use mental power to adjust the source of magic power, gather it into shape and directly launch an attack.
——Strictly speaking, this is just shaping the magic power and then shooting it out.
This is a basic attack with some magical qualities.
The wizard who achieved this record is a long-lost legend.
Most of the time, the legendary wizard didn't even use spells below the 5th level when fighting the enemy.
The first thing you get is a set of magic arrows 399.
Then the enemy will be able to instantly spray 399 streams of magic light on his body and behind him.
To be honest, it's quite scary.
Although a single magic arrow is equivalent to a warrior's heavy hammer, relying on the number of magic arrows to suppress the enemy can also achieve the effect of an ant killing an elephant.
Of course, just launching magic arrows is not enough. Of course, there are also supporting magic arrow tracking and interception techniques.
Not to mention the magic barrier.
I heard that some extreme battle mages would only temporarily deploy large amounts of high-source magic power to create barriers when the enemy launched an attack.
It would be more extreme to temporarily maximize the magic barrier than to continuously maintain it.
However, since there is no pressure to maintain, the defense of the magic barrier after it reaches the upper strength is more than 3 times that of the normal magic barrier.
But the disadvantages are obvious.
If you don't react in time, your opponent will seize the opportunity to create a gap in the barrier and kill you on the spot.
Because they play too extreme, most of the time battle mages will spend their entire lives improving the skills of using magic arrows X and magic barriers.
Coupled with the physical changes brought about by the magic enhancement, the close combat power that the little swan burst out in a short period of time was actually worth Louis's attention.
The treasure forged through years of trials and tribulations also makes battle mages a special group that still possesses terrifying spell damage even after leaving the spell slot.
It can be said that it was played to an extreme.
…
Day 4.
The two people who came out of the tree hole achieved further improvement in blood circulation and flow of magic power.
The little swan has completely escaped the influence of the restraint vest.
As for Louis, I didn't know what he was doing the whole day yesterday.
On this day, Louis and his friends met an old friend.
Challenge level 10 special monster, the Kupari.
Louis looked at the Kupari bird calmly without saying anything.
The little swan was sweating coldly.
It is quite difficult for them to fight against such monsters in their current state.
If the Kupari Bird was determined to fight them to the death, the two people who had just escaped from the restraint vests would lose the restraints if they moved too much.
Then the two of them would instantly return to the dilemma they were in at the beginning.
As the cygnet was on the lookout for the kupari, Louis reached forward.
【Infatuation】, activate!
The Kupari bird landed on Louis' shoulder without any resistance and even rubbed his head against him.
The little swan turned around instantly, and its mouth opened wider and wider.
"When did it happen?"
"yesterday."
"yesterday?"
"Yesterday."
The little swan vomited.
What the hell is infatuation?
Fascination is not a spell, its official name should be called supernatural power.
This is one of the basic powers available to a Psion.
It is called supernatural power, but in fact it is equivalent to the psychic version of magic.
If we have to say the difference between superpowers and magic, it is probably that superpowers use psychic energy, and the number of superpower lists is far less than that of magic lists.
As for the effect of the infatuation spell—
It makes the recipient feel particularly favorable towards the psychic.
"Do you have permanent powers?"
"This is the only ability that can be permanent."
Louis said calmly, "It may be that the Sapphire Dragon and Succubus races have an innate advantage in this kind of supernatural power."
He added in his mind: "Maybe it has something to do with my appearance. I don't need psychic powers. My appearance itself is a kind of magic."
Louis thought narcissistically.
He patted the Kupari bird on the head and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of in this forest.
…
Day 5.
Louis has completed the double loop.
There are two circulatory systems: high-speed circulation of blood and qi, and circulation of spiritual energy on the body surface.
The restrictions of the restraint vest on him disappeared completely.
That day, he whistled into the forest, and the Kupari bird, which was hiding somewhere, rushed into his palm at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Can you help us?"
He said to the Kupari bird.
The Kupari bird tilted its head, understanding the emotions that Louis conveyed through his mental power, and then it jumped in Louis' palm.
Louis looked at the little swan and said:
“It agreed.”
The little swan touched his cheek and didn't want to talk anymore.
Once his psychic powers were activated, Louis's methods of fighting the enemies had become unpredictable.
What’s worse is that she is now afraid to look Louis in the eye.
Dragons are a race with high charisma, not to mention that Louis has succubus bloodline, and now he has the constant effect of a psion...
She suspected that if she took this guy to the red-light district again, those beauties would be willing to use the redemption money they had saved over the years to invite him to spend a night of pleasure with them.
Maybe it's time to consider giving this guy a mask.
On this day, the Kupari bird had a fierce battle with the two of them.
To be precise...it was one-sided bullying.
Once the firepower is fully opened to intercept the Kupari Bird, the balance that the two men have just achieved with the restraint vests will be broken, and their extraordinary powers will be lost on a large scale in an instant.
After a few seconds, the two of them fell into a prone position.
On the sixth day, the situation did not improve.
On the seventh day, there were still tragic deaths, but as the two hunted other monsters, they discovered that they were able to deal with normal monsters without disrupting the balance of the cycle.
On the eighth day, the two finally defended the Kupari Bird for the first time without breaking the balance, and switched from defense to counterattack against the Kupari Bird at an astonishing speed.
On the ninth day, the offense and defense reversed, and the two began to play hide-and-seek with the Kupari bird in the forest.
It was also on this day that Lumi, who had been hiding in the dark and observing, appeared in front of the two of them.
"This training is only one step away from completion."
Rumi walked out, stepping on the dead leaves.
The little swan jumped up happily and wanted to throw herself into Rumi's arms, which were not much bigger than hers.
Then with a duang sound, it crashed into an energy barrier.
Lumi said coldly:
"Let's talk about it after we go back and take a shower."
The little swan then realized that because he had not taken care of his appearance these days, he had already turned into a little cat.
She cried out in pain and turned to look at Louis:
"Promise me that you will delete my appearance from these few days from your memory."
Louis nodded: "I will keep it in mind. I have seen you at your ugliest. There is a bright future ahead of you, Olivia."
A smile appeared on Lumi's lips.
She snapped her fingers.
The restraint vests that restrained the two people were instantly removed:
"Now, it's time for you to enjoy the fruits of your training."
The moment the restrictions were lifted, Louis felt as if his body had instantly turned into an active volcano.
Of course, this was an illusion caused by his perception.
Because at this moment, the blood and energy flowing through his body and the fluctuations of spiritual energy were so fast that he was shocked.
The blood and spiritual energy that surged into the sky caused a mess around the surroundings, but they instantly subsided after a few breaths and were suppressed into his body.
At this moment, he seemed to have become an ordinary person, and ordinary people could no longer feel the terrible threat from him.
"It's easy to lift a heavy weight, and it's done!"
A smile appeared on Louis's lips.
The same is true for the little swan next to it.
Feeling the explosive growth of magic power being drawn into her body, she couldn't close her lips.
Lumi shook her head. "Your idea of being indestructible, making light of heavy things, making light of heavy things, and then being flexible is quite interesting, but it's not quite right."
Louis looked at Lumi with an expression that said "I'm curious".
Lumi smiled slightly: "If that's what you said, then the two of you should have reached the state of making light work as if it were heavy."
Louis was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he launched the Nightmare Sword: Jade with lightning speed.
The roar sounded again.
A stagnant sword light instantly cut off the surrounding trees like chopping melons and vegetables.
Louis was a little dazed.
Nightmare Sword: Jade is the martial art he uses most often.
It is also the first martial art to be advanced to a permanent state.
Now every move of his daily attack can unleash the effect of Nightmare Sword: Jade.
Looking at the fallen trees around him, he fell into deep thought: "Could it be that I have already flown very high?"
Failure Diary: [Slow Down Diary]
The temperature in Haikou has changed too fast recently. I couldn't handle it and got a fever. I'll post 5,200 words first and see if I can make up for it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Sorry.
