Chapter 219 Level 3 [Dragon Catcher]
Master Merlin looked at the dragonborn materials Ji Xun took out, his expression was very real, and he did not hide his emotions and expectations.
He looked at Ji Xun and did not hesitate to praise him. His tone was full of emotion: "You really brought me a big surprise. But having said that, the old continent is indeed a good place. Even if I wanted these before The materials are nowhere to be found.”
These Dragonborn materials are enough for him to complete too many experimental projects.
Not to mention its value, its research significance is immeasurable even to the entire card master world.
"."
Ji Xun smiled modestly as he listened.
This master seems to outsiders to have a weird temper.
In fact, those guys are trying their best to please, but it is useless.
As everyone knows, such a highly legendary figure does not really care about worldly power, money and sex, and he will easily accept favors.
Although Ji Xun also wanted to let him help, his subjective intention was not so utilitarian.
I just feel that a treasure of this level [Red Dragon’s Blood] is meaningful only if it is in the hands of a valuable person.
If you give it away, you will give it away.
Even if there is no reward.
A master of Master Merlin's level can naturally detect that kind of thoughts easily, so he gave such a friendly attitude.
In that pile of containment cards, the four major materials of elements, flesh and blood, mystery, and spirit...
are all available.
Master Merlin looked at it and agreed happily: "I will help you refine your professional card. The finished product will be very effective."
As he said, he also He looked at Ji Xun and said, "Of course, if you don't mind testing your physical attributes, maybe the professional card increase will be more accurate."
Ji Xun naturally had no objection and said, "Thank you, master."
As for exposing privacy?
No need to think about it at all.
Even for [JOKER], Ji Xun felt that the master had already guessed that the demon mark he had fused was different.
After all, the professional cards integrated into each of my three levels are different, which can already explain a lot of problems.
The devil's mark is a very special thing, it cannot be used just by snatching it away.
On the contrary, for such a legendary card maker, it is more meaningful to see a living "fusion sample".
As he spoke, Master Merlin turned around and started tinkering with the instrument.
Ji Xun also sat on the instrument specially designed to test physical attributes.
I saw Dong Qi using these instruments last time.
He also familiarly connected the lines, cannulas, helmets, etc. to his body according to the usage in his memory.
Seeing that Ji Xun could solve it by himself, Master Mei Lin felt that he had saved a lot of effort and was in a better mood.
While putting the dragon's blood into a more stable petri dish, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said one more sentence: "By the way, you know this drop you brought me What does the dragon's blood mean?"
Ji Xun casually guessed: "It means that it can reveal the secrets of the bloodline genes of some advanced creatures?"
Hearing this, Master Merlin He glanced sideways and said: "Your knowledge is very good. Most people will only think that this is an epic material, but will not see its research value."
"."
Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.
The genetic technology in the previous life was not weak.
It is normal for him to have this understanding.
On the contrary, this steampunk level magical card master world, the person in front of me has this idea, is truly "alternative".
At this time, Master Merlin's wise eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said meaningfully: "And not only that. This means that I may have found the card master to stably enter Seven The most important secret of non-distortion. ”
"Seventh level?"
Ji Xun was really surprised when he heard this.
Is that the realm above legend?
When his thoughts changed, he couldn't imagine that these Dragonborn materials had anything to do with the Breakthrough Legend.
But he also thought of an unsolved mystery in the card master world.
Card masters in this world are indeed stuck at the sixth level, and the legendary level is already at its peak.
No!
To be precise, he is the card master of this era.
There are various signs that there were super-powerful card masters in ancient times who were truly comparable to the gods.
So after hearing this, Ji Xun was instantly filled with curiosity.
That is, why are current card masters trapped at level six?
There are not many people in the world who can answer this question.
The legend in front of me is definitely qualified.
Before he could think about it, Master Merlin explained: "Yes. Countless seniors who were stuck at the sixth-level bottleneck, and even legendary card masters have tried. But without exception, they all ended up deformed. "
Ji Xun looked forward to the next step and asked, "Why is it 100% deformed? Is it because the body cannot bear the extraordinary characteristics?"
After the sixth level breakthrough, will there be 100% distortion?
His intuition told him that this might not be a problem of physical tolerance.
80% of the time there is a problem with some unknown link.
“Yes, 100% aberration.”
Master Merlin said in a regretful tone: “Because there is no inheritance beyond legend at all among the people, we can only fumble blindly. This kind of Exploring is like pioneering wasteland, and it has also led to the abnormal deaths of countless talented ancestors while exploring unknown areas.”
"."
Hearing this, Ji Xun also frowned and fell into thinking.
What is the cause?
When talking about this topic, Master Merlin became unusually angry, and said: "As far as I know, the Oran royal family actually has some inheritance about the 'super-level'. But those guys are doing it for their own." The rule is stable, and I have never thought of making those things public."
As he said this, the wise man who had already looked down upon everything said with anger: "This is also the reason why the Oran royal family rules more than two thousand people in the Eastern Continent. The most important reason why the Card Master civilization has not progressed at all, but has become increasingly regressed, is that the selfish Augustus royal family only thought about the stability of their royal power and never considered the future of civilization. A group of historical sinners! ”
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he also understood why the Oran royal family was overthrown by the coup.
The royal power of feudal lords is indeed a stumbling block to social progress.
This is a problem that has existed for more than two thousand years and restricted the development of card masters.
But that was before!
Now the Old World was discovered.
Like discovering an "ancient library", people have found a door that can finally open "super-level knowledge".
In those ruins, in the extradimensional space
Although dangerous, there are countless civilization treasures left over from ancient times.
The royal family has mastered some super-level inheritances, and Ji Xun agrees with this statement.
After all, he had witnessed Queen Oran's exaggerated background only ten hours ago.
This "technical blockade" of the Oran royal family is really a pain in the neck.
But the world can’t do anything about them.
After all, the dynasty has collapsed.
Ji Xun also made some guesses and asked curiously: "So, Master, this dragon blood is the key to the seventh level? Is it a problem with the card master's bloodline?"
Although the sixth level is still far away, you still have to dream.
One day, he felt that he would also touch the bottleneck that was strangulating the neck of civilization.
“Yes!”
Master Merlin listened with a formidable expression: “But not entirely.”
This is already knowledge in the field of top card masters. Ji Xun had an expression of humbly asking for advice, waiting for the next step.
Master Merlin said calmly: "Since you have obtained the dragon's blood, you must have seen the 'Dragon Power'."
"Huh?"
Ji Xun has seen it before, and is a little confused. What is the relationship between the two?
Not only the power of dragons, but also the power of angels and the power of the old gods
The pressure of higher creatures is still fresh in my memory.
Master Mei Lin suddenly asked a question that Ji Xun had never thought of: "Then have you ever thought about the essence of 'Longwei'?"
"The essence of Longwei?"
< br>When Ji Xun heard this question, he felt as if a stick had hit him, and he felt like he was getting closer to the truth.
He thought about it and responded: "Suppression of higher organisms at the legal level?"
"This is indeed one aspect, but it is not accurate. And my research direction is this kind of suppression. What is the essence?”
Master Merlin nodded and corrected.
He added: "The secret of the pressure of higher beings on lower beings may be hidden in the bloodline gene chain. This is a kind of genetic suppression. It's not just giant dragons, but also There are other higher-level creatures, such as the legendary high elves, giants, old gods, etc. They all have an instinct to suppress lower-level creatures."
Ji Xun also understood. One point: "So, is it a blood issue?"
This sounds a bit like a racial gap.
Like the difference between a bug and an elephant?
"This is just one aspect. After all, lower creatures like humans can also reach the level of gods by acquiring extraordinary power in the universe. Therefore, lineage is not the only issue. But this is another research direction."
< br>Master Merlin stopped talking when he said this.
It seems that there are too many things to say about this issue, and I can’t explain it clearly even in a short while.
After pondering for a moment, he returned to the topic and continued: "The focus of my current research is: the relationship between Longwei and distortion suppression after the card master advances to the seventh level."
"."
Ji Xun said nothing and continued to listen.
This is also a matter of concern to him.
Master Merlin said: "As far as I know, all the strong men and seniors who tried to break through the seventh level were deformed without exception, so I have been looking for the cause of the deformation all my life. There are even several legends in these years. The strong are willing to be used as research materials, allowing me to dissect my one-sided speculation that the distortion is just a loss of control of extraordinary power at the physical level."
"."
Ji Xun listened in awe.
With these simple words, he saw the hard work and dedication of countless top card masters on this bottleneck of civilization.
But doesn’t the definition of distortion mean that the body is extraordinary and out of control?
After all, this is what it says in all the classics.
Is there any other reason?
Master Merlin seemed to want to point out something, and said: "Recently, I accidentally discovered some new documents from the ruins of the Old World. I confirmed that my previous research was indeed too one-sided."
At this point, he was not in a hurry to say more, but asked: "Have you ever heard of the saying that 'the body is the anchor of the soul, and the soul is the rudder of the body'?"
Ji Xun nodded and realized He said: "You mean the reason for the loss of control is the soul?"
Master Merlin did not deny or confirm it, he just said: "In fact, the extraordinary characteristics of the human body are only one of the causes of distortion. But research It proves that some strong people can physically withstand the relevant extraordinary characteristics, but they still inevitably lose control. I couldn't find the reason before, but now that I think about it, it may actually be a problem at the 'conscious level'."
He added as he spoke. One sentence: "Because the source of the card master's extraordinary power is the fifty-two sequence of demon gods. And the seventh level has already involved the real 'infusion of the power of demon gods'. That may be the realm of 'demigods' in epic legends. It must be considered a category of advanced creatures. "
In ancient mythology books, you can often see epic stories of dragon-slaying warriors, and those are usually "demigods" humans.
I thought it was a myth before.
Listen now, it seems to refer to some super-level secrets.
But Ji Xun was really confused when he heard it.
These are knowledge that has not been recorded in any classics and is already "super-class" knowledge.
And even though this scholar stands at the top of the academic pyramid of the world, he still uses a lot of uncertain words like "maybe" and "maybe".
This is even more difficult to understand.
“I have a guess that Longwei may be a manifestation of the ‘super-order consciousness’ of advanced creatures like dragons.”
Master Merlin did not want to explain the academic aspect. The complex issue brought us back to the topic.
He said earnestly: "That's why I feel so important about these dragonborn materials you brought me. The dragon has the most complete gene chain of superior creatures, and this may be the 'key' .Of course, these are just some unverified guesses inspired by ancient books. Before the research results come out, I can't be sure which research direction is the correct answer."
Finished. At this point, he didn't say any more about professional knowledge.
That's what he's currently working on.
These words are just a guide to the next topic.
Looking at Ji Xun, Merlin looked like a kind elder and said: "Your foundation is very good. You will have the opportunity to see the peak scenery in the future. You will definitely face this problem when the time comes. . But I can give you a suggestion. From now on, you can start cultivating your "meaning". "
Ji Xun didn't quite understand what the "meaning" meant, so he asked directly: "You. "Referring to spiritual concepts?" Master Merlin not only knows how to research, but also has legendary strength. He immediately corrected: "It is not just the amount of spiritual power, but the more accurate description is the height of the soul."
"???"
Ji Xun believed that his comprehension and understanding abilities were far beyond ordinary people,
But hearing about the areas that only top-level card masters can touch, he was confused. .
Master Merlin looked at his doubts and continued to explain: "The 'intention' mentioned by melee card masters refers to fist intention, sword intention, killing intention, etc. The 'spiritual intention' practiced by warlocks Wei', divine power, divine possession, artistic conception, and will are all the same thing. If my guess is correct, this may be a crucial direction for breaking through to the super level. What's more, even if it is not, it will be very important for your own practice. It’s very important, there’s no harm in mastering it.”
“.”
Ji Xun finally understood why the master wasted his precious time talking so much.
It’s not just about popularizing some high-end knowledge.
I also want to point out a path for myself to practice.
When Ji Xun thought of this, he said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your advice."
Hearing this, Master Meilin shook his head slightly and didn't care.
I just met a young man who I thought had good potential and was special, and I was interested in giving him some advice.
Over the years, he has met too many such amazing juniors.
Some died, some died young, and some became the cornerstone of civilization.
Perhaps I have the idea that one day I will no longer be there, and someone can pass on this spirit of exploration.
But having said it all, he thought about it and asked another question: "Now that we have said it, let me ask you another question."
Ji Xun: "Please tell me."
Master Meilin smiled meaningfully: "To a certain extent, consciousness refers to the 'soul'. Well, everyone in the world knows that living things have souls. Just like It's human. So, where is the soul? "
Ji Xun didn't expect Master Meilin to ask this question.
It can also be said that the soul may not exist in the past life.
But in this world, he has personally seen all kinds of resentful spirits, evil spirits, and undead spirits.
This is the product of the soul of a creature after death.
Then the question is, where is the soul?
Obviously Master Merlin himself didn’t understand this question, so he didn’t expect to get an answer, so he said: "I always thought it was in the body before. But I have dissected many people and creatures, and found that even if there is only A head, as long as the living body is still conscious, it has a complete soul."
At this point, he left in suspense and asked again: "Then do you think the soul may be there. In your mind?”
"Yeah."
Ji Xun also felt that it was not in his hands and feet, but probably in his mind?
But Master Meilin immediately smiled mysteriously: "No. I confirm that he is not here."
"Not here?"
Ji Xun felt incredible when he heard this.
If it's not in the body or in the mind, where can it be?
But after taking a closer look, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
With such certainty in his tone, he felt that Master Merlin most likely came to the conclusion through his own personal research.
No wonder he was expelled from the Card Master Association and exiled to Innocence City
Those related studies are probably a bit shocking.
Master Merlin seemed to be a qualified tutor. He could not answer this question, but he gave the students a direction, saying: "Consciousness is not in the dimension of our cognition. But I am not sure where it is. I guess, when we cognize When you reach where your 'consciousness' is, you can accurately recognize the 'super-level' state. That way there will be no 'rudder' that can control the body and it will not lose control. It’s here, no matter how much it is, you’ll be confused”
“Yeah.”
Ji Xun seemed to understand suddenly.
The body is the "anchor" of the soul, and the soul is the "rudder" of the body.
It turns out that this sentence has such a profound meaning.
After some exchanges, Ji Xun finally realized the significance of the development of the Old Continent to the top powerhouses.
After saying so much, Master Merlin had no intention of continuing to chat, and focused on tinkering with his various experiments.
Ji Xun didn’t bother him, and just practiced quietly in the laboratory and waited.
One day later.
Master Merlin did not disappoint.
Based on Ji Xun's physical evaluation data, he refined a professional card that fit perfectly.
Ji Xun got this golden professional card whose effect exceeded expectations.
[Dragon Catcher]
Quality: Gold
Detailed explanation: Dragon-slaying warrior Beowulf’s exclusive third-level career card; fusion requires strength of not less than 60, agility, Physique. Attributes are not less than 55; animal transformation tolerance is not less than 15; after fusion, the 'power of hunting dragons' is obtained, gaining 30-41% increase in strength, 18%-27% increase in all attributes of the flesh type; after fusion, Subsequently, you will obtain a huge amount of elemental spell power and the upper limit of continuous growth in the direction of flesh and blood; obtain hard armor (physical toughness), forbidden magic (element resistance), pseudo-dragon power (mental strength and resistance), and giant food (qi, blood, healing). and body absorption), dark mysterious (unknown dark energy) ability;
The effects of the materials invested have been maximized.
The Dragonborn main material has unexpectedly received dragon-related increases.
Especially the strength, it is simply exaggerated.
As for the mainstream third-level professional cards currently on the market, a normal increase of about 25% is already considered the best.
The lower limit of the direct power increase of this golden card is 30%, and the increase of other attributes is also in the best range.
And [The Slit Girl's Scissors] is also the finishing touch.
This golden material triggered the spiritual properties related to the Dragonborn material, greatly increasing the "Pseudo·Dragon Power" entry;
There is also [Advanced Dark Matter obtained from the ruins of Xia Mu City Crystal] This kind of elemental material that has never been seen before also gives the finished professional card a new "dark and mysterious" entry.
Ji Xun is very satisfied with the various attributes.
But at the same time, Ji Xun was also amazed.
My physical fitness is so strong, and the materials I put into it should not be as strong as those from ancient times, so I feel like I can barely meet the fusion conditions.
How exaggerated were the physical qualities of those card masters in ancient times?
No further delay.
The body has already adjusted its breath to its optimal state.
Ji Xun got the cards and immediately started to fuse them on the spot.
In the entire Innocence City, there is no safer place than Master Merlin's laboratory.
The card collapsed and the extraordinary characteristics merged into the body.
The familiar feeling comes again.
The bursting energy washed over the body again.
But the stronger the extraordinary characteristics of the professional card, it means the greater the pain you will endure when advancing.
Moreover, the third level is a big bottleneck, and the various pains the body has to endure are several times more severe than those at the second level.
Pain, burning, cracked bones, and torn muscles.
And because it is fused with Dragonborn material, this high-level material is like poison to humans.
The moment the professional card collapsed, it was as if there was a trapped fire dragon running rampant in his body, spitting flames, burning his body, trying to break through the prison of the body.
But after all, he had advanced. Passed twice.
This third time, Ji Xun didn't feel any surprise at all.
Pain is also something that can be endured by a complete will.
The only difference is that he has understood the "curse seal".
The curse seal is like putting a layer of armor on the body to prevent it from being exploded by the violent and extraordinary characteristics.
The whole process of integration is painful and makes people feel the strong expectation of transformation.
Two days later, the extraordinary characteristics surging in his body subsided.
Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.
He immediately felt the feeling of congestion and swelling in the muscles.
Looking at the brand-new panel, I let out a long sigh of relief and murmured in my heart: "Finally the third level."
Highly compatible customized professional cards, the integration has almost no surprises , successfully advanced.
"Ji Xun"
Strength: 91.56
Physique: 80.46
Agility: 80.23
Toughness: 80.11
Skill: 52
Spirit: 49
Mana: 16888
Halo: The Gambler of Doom
Elemental Affinity: Dark 51/Light 20/ Earth 33/Wind 35/Water 55/Fire 60/Thunder 19/Wood 24/Gold 17/Unknown Dark Energy +55/Time Law Affinity +18/Fear +31
Occupational entries: [Flesh and Flesh Growth], [Qigong Strengthen Body], [Dark Beast], [Werewolf Form], [Savage Growth], [Qigong Master], [Hell Fire], [Hard Armor], [Forbidden Demon], [Pseudo·Dragon Power], [Giant Food], [Dark Mystery]
"So strong!"
Ji Xun's eyes were full of energy.
Looking at the changes in his body after the fusion, he truly felt the power of the improvement brought by this professional card.
The effect of Dragonborn material has been fully exerted.
All attributes have skyrocketed from 60+ to 80+.
The most exaggerated thing is the "power", which has directly increased to 90+.
This has almost reached the theoretical increase limit of 30-41% for the [Dragon Catcher] professional card.
Absolutely perfect.
And after advancing, there are a lot more entries for various professions.
The most important thing is that the upper limit of the rank has been opened.
Ji Xun clearly felt the "hungry" that could become stronger.
Instead of the "satisfaction" of the previous second-order bottleneck period.
Not only has his body become stronger, but standing at a higher level, Ji Xun also clearly feels that his understanding of the laws of the universe has once again reached a new level.
This is a completely different and mysterious experience.
No wonder the rank gap has such a big impact on combat power.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the third-level body and the second-level body were like an iron sword and a wooden sword, there was a huge difference.
When Ji Xun saw this, he grinned: "Is this the third level?"
Now that he has successfully advanced, he can also try the "Shangbang Prison" thing that he was thinking about. Tried it.
Having been in the laboratory for a few days, the master has been busy.
Ji Xun didn't have the shame to continue to stay.
He walked into the laboratory, looked at the busy figure from behind, and greeted: "Master Merlin, thank you for your help this time."
Merlin looked back at Ji Xun, as if this was the moment. Thinking of such a person in the laboratory, he paused for a moment and praised: "Hey, the advancement was successful. The condition is very good."
Ji Xun said respectfully: "Thanks to the master for refining "Professional card."
"Haha."
Merlin smiled noncommittally.
He personally refined the professional card, so he naturally knew how exaggerated the attributes of this card were.
I did help, but not all.
After all, not just anyone can fuse this card.
To have such a good effect, the fusion person itself is also very good.
Ji Xun came to say hello and say goodbye, and didn't want to waste Master Meilin's time.
But just when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and tried to ask: "Master Merlin, I am going to go to Shangbang Prison this time. I would like to ask you what you know about that place. Do you understand?”
He thought about Master Merlin’s status, and after staying in Sinless City for so many years, he might not know about the Gluttony Breathing Technique.
Dong Jiuye avoided talking about it before.
Maybe this one doesn’t?
But Ji Xun was also afraid that the other party would embarrass him, so he didn't state his purpose clearly.
However, Master Merlin gave a very direct answer to this kind of insinuating remarks.
Hearing the place name "Shangbang Prison", he didn't know what he thought of. He glanced at Ji Xun with a meaningful look and said directly: "I know what you want to ask. But I can't give it to you. Your answer."
When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't say anything and bowed decisively to say goodbye: "It was the junior who was abrupt."
The master obviously knew it, but he didn't. explain.
In other words, the "big shot" in prison has a really special identity.
When Ji Xun thought of this, not only did he not feel that he had encountered an insurmountable difficulty, but he became more interested in exploring.
He saluted and said: "Master Merlin, I will say goodbye."
Hearing this, Master Merlin nodded, turned around and continued busy with his own affairs.
But looking back for a moment, Ji Xun couldn't see a smile on that old face, and said to himself: "That weird old man, he probably isn't dead yet."
