Chapter 534 532: Sacred Skill [Muscle Overlord] (Two-in-One)
Flower collar,
Lion Manor, second floor, study.
Luo Yi looked at the latest information in his hand with a strange expression.
Perhaps there really is such a thing as "fate" in this world. The battle situation that seemed set in stone suddenly turned into a sudden change.
He also didn't expect that at the critical moment, the Bonaparte Empire actually found the weakness of the magic tank.
Although the magic tank is powerful, it is impossible to say that it is truly invincible.
Especially this first generation of the King of Land Combat, after all, the design and production were a bit hasty, and some links were relatively rough.
When Luo Yi conducted the actual test, he found that the tank's waterproofness was quite good and was basically unaffected.
However, if the temperature drops rapidly, water accumulates in the internal parts and forms ice crystals, which can cause big problems.
The physical properties of metal parts can deviate greatly between normal temperature and cold weather.
At this point, you don’t even know where the problem is inside, and even repairs seem a bit difficult to start.
Of course, this problem is not unsolvable, but if you want to deal with it fundamentally, you still have to work hard on the design and carry out specific optimization and improvements.
But this cannot be solved in a short period of time.
Without the magic tanks pushing forward on the ground battlefield, even with artillery positions and soldiers fighting for their lives, the situation returned to its previous state.
As long as the coalition forces are willing to suffer casualties, it will be difficult for the empire to gain an advantage.
His thoughts raced, and Roy thought of Grand Duke Carlisle, who came in a hurry, agreed to almost all the conditions, took the information, and left in a hurry.
There was also a previous news that General Fake Wood was sent to the front line of the Verdun battlefield and became the front-line commander.
With just a little thought, Luo Yi had an idea in his mind.
Sure enough, when life is not destined to end, everything is possible.
However, Luo Yi did not hesitate, but threw away the information in his hand and picked up another thick book.
This is what Luo Yi wants. He quickly flipped through it, with blue light flashing in his eyes. All the information was collected and quickly organized by Shenlan.
Finally, they were quickly sorted in the depths of his eyes, forming a more concise and clear table.
To be precise, this thick stack is just a catalog, recording all the goodies that the three giants of the coalition took out from their own secret vaults.
Deep Blue is divided into five categories, namely, cultivation methods, magic, combat skills, secret knowledge and secret sacred skills.
Each category is further divided into detailed categories, such as the magic category, which is the most complicated.
Not only are there various high-level magics, but there are also many potion recipes, methods of refining magic props, magic scroll drawing techniques, methods of refining golem puppets, and so on.
It can be said that this directory has been greatly simplified.
Besides, there are actually quite a few combat skills.
Although the number of combat skills for each profession is limited, most combat professionals will choose one or two to study in depth, thus forming their own unique killing moves.
However, you can’t handle the large number of various occupations!
Each profession is slightly different, and will form new methods, which will increase the number of combat skills.
As for secret knowledge, it is equally complex and diverse, including historical originals, travel stories, specialized books, astral records, and so on.
In fact, these are the things that best reflect the family heritage.
This is because, after the legendary strongmen of all generations left the main material plane, no matter how well or poorly they fared, they would record the secret knowledge they had learned when they returned.
Only from here can we see the truest side of the entire multiverse, and only by standing on the shoulders of our predecessors can we avoid countless traps and harms.
As for the least, it is the method of cultivation.
This is the core of the inheritance of the great nobility, and is directly related to the rise and fall of a family.
Therefore, it is already a great honor for you to be able to pick and choose a few and send them to me.
As he flipped through the pages, Luo Yi had a general idea of the book and was quite satisfied.
Compared with the marginal details given last time, this time what was given was obviously the core information, which was a big loss.
To be honest, if it weren't for such a good opportunity, it would be impossible for Luo Yi to "extort" these good things unless he had to confiscate the family property and exterminate the clan.
With these materials, the large library of the Mechanical Mage Tower can be enriched, and the foundation of the Raymond family will be increased.
Based on this, Luo Yi can truly start the mechanism of screening and training strong people. Coupled with sufficient wealth and resources, there will be an endless supply of strong people.
You have to admit that the loyalty of the strong is still the most important quality, and they are also more likely to access the core secrets of some territories.
If we have to recruit from outside, it will be easy for people with ulterior motives to sneak in.
For example, the ice hunter Jude Stephens.
Of course, Luo Yi only glanced through all of the above and did not spend too much time on it.
It’s not that he is not interested, but he plans to slowly include it into the Deep Blue database when he has time later.
Then, he found the part that interested him most, the secret sacred skills.
There is no doubt that the quality of this secret sacred skill has been greatly improved.
After all, it is not a core practice method, and it is too difficult, so its value is not that great.
Luo Yi even saw the complete version of the [Body of the Thunder Titan] in it, which was collected by the Slavic royal family. It contained all seven sacred skills and all the rare items needed for cultivation.
It’s a pity that it’s difficult to get started with this kind of secret sacred skills, let alone seven of them.
Anyway, as far as Luo Yi knows, there are still some people who have mastered one or two skills, but as for those who have achieved the [Body of the Thunder Titan], there is no one.
Including the famous heroes in history.
There is also a [Power of Behemoth] that Luo Yi is familiar with, and it is not a fragmented version. Not only is the method of cultivation complete, but it can even provide the Behemoth's heart blood required for cultivation.
The Old World is gone, but there are still orc tribes and domesticated Behemoths in the New World.
It is clearly stated above that if Loy needs the blood of a giant beast, the Bonaparte Empire can help contact and purchase it.
It seemed like she really wanted him to practice.
Giants and behemoths appeared, and of course there were also true dragons, and there were even quite a few of them.
For example, the most eye-catching holy skill comes from the Bonaparte royal family and is a compulsory course for dragon knights.
As the pinnacle of knights, the powerful dragon knight is not just a knight riding a dragon.
They must master the sacred skill [Dragon's Heart] to be considered qualified.
And this [Heart of the Dragon] requires the completion of the human-dragon symbiotic contract, sharing the lifespan, and thus achieving a life and death relationship.
And the magic potion is exchanged through blood to nourish the dragon power in the human body.
The essence of the dragon is dragon power. Even if a human has cultivated dragon power, he can borrow power from the dragon through a contract and use it to cultivate dragon power fighting spirit.
Green Dragon Knight Quentin Perkins, why is he so powerful and rare?
Because, apart from him, there is no other person in the Old World who can make a dragon put down its pride and sign a contract.
If you want to find someone strong enough to defeat the dragon, there are some. Those powerful legends have this ability.
But it is almost impossible to make the dragon surrender.
Regardless of whether they are metallic dragons or five-colored dragons, they are all proud to the core and most of them are ferocious and violent.
Killing them is much easier than taming them.
Therefore, in history, except for some special periods, there are far fewer dragon knights than dragon slayers.
There is also a similar sacred skill called [Dragon Soul Resurrection], which involves reaching an agreement with a dragon soul and nourishing it with one's own essence and blood, thereby cultivating and strengthening the dragon soul.
Then, with the power of the dragon soul, you can practice dragon power and dragon language magic, and cultivate yourself into a humanoid dragon.
If one practices to the extreme, he can even possess the lifespan of a dragon in human form. When fighting, he can partially transform into a dragon's body, or directly transform into a dragon. It is even more magical than the druid's "dragon transformation technique".
After all, the dragon transformed by the druid only has the melee ability of a dragon, and this resurrection of the dragon soul is equivalent to possessing the power of a complete dragon.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to find a dragon that has just died, and this dragon has enough trust in you to be willing to give up entering the dragon tomb to rest and continue to fight for you.
This is not a question of difficulty, but a pure test of luck.
It is worth mentioning that these two sacred skills are actually of the same origin.
You can first become a dragon knight and practice [Heart of the Dragon]. If the dragon dies in battle accidentally, you can switch to practicing [Dragon Soul Resurrection].
The reason for this is that in the legendary ancient times, both humans and dragons faced the crisis of genocide. In order to enhance their combat effectiveness, the sages of the two races worked together to create it.
However, after the crisis was resolved, not many dragons were willing to sign the contract. Instead, warriors rose to prominence and became legends.
Obviously, this system, which is independent of the combat professionals, is very good and powerful, but Luo Yi really can't find a dragon to practice.
So, just watch the fun.
Then, further down, there are many variants of true dragons.
For example, to obtain the [Eyes of a True Dragon], one needs to take a pair of dragon pupils from a giant dragon, soak them in a special potion, and then inlay them with undead magic, so that one can obtain a pair of true dragon eyes.
This holy skill comes at a great cost, but the effect is also amazing, because the dragon's eyes have [True Insight], and almost nothing can escape his gaze.
There is also [Dragon Scale Transformation], which involves taking 308 scales from a giant dragon, soaking them in a special potion, and shrinking them to the size of soybeans.
It can be embedded in the dermis under the skin using special means.
If all are completed, it will form a dragon scale tattoo, which looks beautiful.
But if used, it can be transformed into a dragon scale armor at any time, with extremely strong defensive power.
Whether it is a weapon attack, a fighting spirit slash, or magic damage, most of them can be weakened.
As long as the dragon scales are intact, there is almost no fear of damage, which is considered the ceiling of defensive sacred skills.
Unfortunately, suitable dragon scales are hard to find, and special potions are also difficult to prepare.
There is also a sacred skill [Power of the Dragon], which makes Luo Yi's eyes light up.
It mainly cultivates the muscle groups of the human body, and changes the muscle shape of the human body through strange objects, thereby gaining enormous strength, even comparable to a dragon.
The strange object required is something that Luo Yi cannot understand. It looks like a ball of yarn. When used, it needs to be watered with dragon blood and supplemented with special magic potions until the solution turns completely pink.
This liquid needs to be injected into human muscles in batches and quantities.
After high-intensity training, you can make your muscles grow rapidly, your strength increase dramatically, and even develop a body of devilish muscles, thus possessing extremely powerful strength.
On the surface, this sacred skill is similar to 'taking drugs to gain muscle', but its specific use is also very particular.
The human body has more than 600 skeletal muscles, also known as "voluntary muscles", which are controlled by consciousness and are responsible for complex movements such as walking, grasping, and facial expressions.
Personal strength is controlled by these muscles. If you want to strengthen your muscles, you have to differentiate and plan these six hundred muscles and inject appropriate amounts of drugs into them.
This sentence is simple to say, but there are too many things to consider.
For example, injection techniques, dosage control, muscle carrying capacity, subsequent exercise intensity, etc.
In addition, everyone's physical endurance is different, so it can be said that everyone is different.
Therefore, there are actually quite a lot of people who practice this holy skill. Even in the Slavic royal family, it is very popular among some power-type knights and berserkers.
After all, it's rare to see results just by taking drugs and exercising, and it's much more useful than magic potions.
However, if the dosage is not properly controlled and exceeds the body's tolerance limit, the patient may collapse and die from organ failure.
It should be said that the Slavs accumulated experience at the cost of the lives of countless soldiers, thus gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the human body.
But in Luoyi's view, two words: rough!
Three words: very rough!
Four words, quite rough!
It is worth mentioning that although this sacred skill is named [Power of the Dragon], it actually has nothing to do with the dragon. It is just to show its strength.
Luo Yi originally had very high expectations for this sacred skill. The reason was simple. He had already practiced eleven sacred skills, covering quite a number of human organs.
Bones, heart, blood vessels, nervous system, lungs, stomach, kidneys, hearing...
Although it was like a melting pot, the benefits brought to him by the mixture of these sacred skills were beyond imagination.
But the only thing missing is a sacred skill to strengthen muscles.
Although due to the subtle influence of other holy skills, his muscle strength is quite considerable and has also raised his upper limit.
But when he reached Luo Yi's level, he still felt a vague upper limit.
This is not good for his growth, so he needs to raise the limit, but no matter how hard he looks, he can't find anything suitable.
Luo Yi doesn't care about 'taking drugs to gain muscle'. Isn't using those magic potions to practice also taking drugs?
As for controlling the dosage and the intensity of training, he is more confident.
Deep Blue is not fake. The problems that the Slavic royal family has been unable to solve for hundreds of years are no longer a problem for him.
Roy could even ask Deep Blue to make a detailed plan, down to the exact dosage for each muscle and the desired intensity of training.
Luo Yi believed that with Shenlan by his side, he could maximize the effectiveness of this sacred skill.
But the problem is that this holy skill is obviously based on "strength", which is not in line with Luo Yi's fighting style.
What he wanted was faster speed, stronger muscle contraction force, and more endurance. His overdeveloped muscle groups actually restricted his speed, making his sword movements slower and slower.
This is not what he wants!
Shaking his head slowly, Luo Yi looked down again, his gaze swept across, then quickly returned, directly locking onto a sacred skill.
He read it with great interest. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became; the more excited his expression became.
The secret skill [Muscle Overlord] does not focus on muscle growth, but emphasizes control, absolute control over muscles.
The artifacts of this sacred skill are also very unique, even a section of pink muscle group, which is still vivid after who knows how long.
If you touch it with your hand, you can feel its contraction tension.
If you look closely, you can even see the muscle fibers inside, twisted together like steel wires.
When practicing this sacred skill, one must soak this magical object in a special potion until all the fibers are dispersed and merged into the potion, and then drink the potion in one gulp.
Then, these strange objects will cling to the muscle groups, blend into and constantly change the original muscle shape, and eventually, transform all of its own muscles into pink muscles with both 'endurance' and 'explosiveness'.
However, this sacred skill cannot increase muscle strength, but requires subsequent training and continuous enhancement.
But this is what Roy wanted.
Without limits, you can make continuous breakthroughs and shape yourself according to your needs.
Moreover, the most powerful function of this sacred skill is actually the control of these muscles. The process of practicing is to continuously enhance the control.
His killer move [Muscle Overlord·Liberation] is to use that magical object to temporarily achieve absolute control over the muscles.
In this state, he can even mobilize the strength of all his muscles at will and concentrate them in one place, such as between his hands, feet, fists and palms, thereby causing terrible damage.
The name [Muscle Overlord] actually describes this state.
However, as a sacred skill, the difficulty of practicing it is undeniable.
This sacred skill is not only difficult to master, but the magic potion that melts the strange objects seems to be extremely harmful to the body. If it cannot be integrated within a specified time, the practitioner may be poisoned to death.
After crossing this level, a large number of special substances will need to be replenished, including but not limited to various precious magical herbs, dragon blood, golden rhinoceros stone, etc.
Not to mention how to collect these precious materials, even if there is a channel, taking them for many years would be an extremely exaggerated expense.
Moreover, your body must have strong enough digestive power, otherwise, you may die from overeating.
Luo Yi doesn't care about any of this.
He has Deep Blue, a [Dimensional Capsule], money but nowhere to spend it, and flowers to lead this Old World cargo distribution center...
After looking at it for a long time, Luo Yi felt more and more that this sacred skill was tailor-made for him.
After circling out this sacred skill without hesitation, Luo Yi felt much better. He picked out two more skills.
The first one is called [Eye of the Sky], and its effect is similar to the dragon's [True Insight]. It can have extremely powerful dynamic vision, can capture the smallest dust tracks in the air, and can see through illusions.
It is said that when one reaches the pinnacle of cultivation, one can even use the naked eye to glimpse the movement of elements, the gaps in space and the regular rhythms. It is extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, the reason why the word "is said" is added is because no one has practiced this sacred skill to the extreme.
The highest level is actually inferred.
It is worth mentioning that the prerequisite for practicing this sacred skill is the [Eagle Eye Technique], and the eyes have undergone specific development.
Luo Yi chose it, partly because he himself met the requirements.
As for the second one, Luo Yi chose the sacred skill called [Sky Blue Divine Tree], which is considered to be an extremely rare recovery type among the sacred skills.
First, you have to find a precious and long-lived tree. The longer it is, the better; the more annual rings it has, the better the effect.
Then, he took a rare object, the 'Sky Blue Divine Seed', and nourished it with his own blood and fighting spirit. After forty-nine days, he planted the seed in the tree.
In the later stage, various precious medicinal liquids are spread until the seeds completely occupy the tree and grow stronger, then it is considered successful.
After mastering this sacred skill, one will possess extremely exaggerated vitality. As long as the vitality is not exhausted, one will not die.
No matter how serious the injury is, it can be recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The most valuable thing is that it can also increase the lifespan of practitioners, just like the sky-blue sacred tree.
This sacred skill is also very expensive, requiring the preparation of various potions to nourish the trees.
It can be said that unless you are rich and powerful, don’t even touch it!
Of course, if it only stopped there, the emperors of the empire would never miss it.
The biggest problem is that this sacred tree gives birth to a treasure that comes from the tree herder and is indispensable.
That’s right, it’s Isis Jiuquan!
Others don’t have it, but Luo Yi does. Moreover, he is confident that he can get more from the red dragon Virgil.
Therefore, this sacred skill really belongs to him.
After checking the holy skills, Luo Yi threw away the thick stack of information and stretched himself.
These sacred skills are just brief introductions. To obtain the real magical items and cultivation methods, we must communicate with Grand Duke Carlisle and have them send them to us.
Of course, this is not a difficult task. Nowadays, the most worthy of attention is Verdun.
I just don’t know which direction the war will develop today?
PS: Someone came this afternoon, so I had no time to write. After they left, I started writing immediately, and I have been writing until now.
This chapter is 5600+, which counts as two in one!
