Chapter 7: Shock
Let the dreams of a man who recently aspired to become the king of magic shatter in an instant, leaving his mind in a state of disarray.
"Xiao Ye, listen, you are destined to become a barrier master, a barrier master, a master, a master..."
Now that I have become a Level 6 Knight Squire, I can use it casually like this. However, as the power of my bloodline continues to grow with my strength, if my physical body cannot keep up in the future, wouldn't that mean using it could lead to death?
By the way, do not speak of this matter everywhere; this young man clearly lacks experience, and exposing certain things does not bring any benefits, especially in situations where one lacks the ability to protect them
Recalling that feeling of having his soul devoured once again, he still involuntarily shivered, a trace of barely perceptible fear flashing in his eyes
After all, they are a team of scavengers with an average level of skill; how discerning can the ordinary members be? Upon witnessing the captain, a professional-tier powerhouse, make a decisive move, they naturally did not harbor any doubts. However, as they left, they were still quite excitedly discussing the duel that had just taken place
However, he is still full of anticipation for his future, as reaching the professional level allows him to inscribe talent runes. The only rune he knows, which is also the most suitable for him, is the "Clarity" rune. Due to the compatibility with his bloodline, it should significantly reduce the side effects of the "Eye of Breaking the Law".
He even felt a twinge of regret, thinking it might be better to simply close his eyes and let that guy give him a beating, as it would be preferable to the discomfort he was currently experiencing
But it is evident that this does not include Jack
Even though Xuan Ye is doing his utmost, racking his brains to gradually input that data into his soul database, he is still constrained by his own memory limitations and the speed is finite
He has automatically filled in the gaps in his mind, imagining that his old brother was suddenly distracted by the opponent's eyes changing color, revealing a flaw, which led to a significant mistake that was detected and exposed by the opponent's insight, combined with a particular special martial technique, resulting in that outcome
However, once these two elements are combined and paired, the resulting enhancement reaches a distorted level, to the extent that even Xuan Ye himself has been greatly affected by this force's backlash
With his eyes closed and one hand propping up his forehead, Xuan Ye half-knelt on the sandy ground, feeling as if his entire head was about to explode.
Uh, see through what
Luo Luoji, with an expression that suggested he had already seen through everything, casually spoke to Xuan Ye after inquiring about some details of the battle from Jack
......
Having already reorganized the team and set out on the road, Loloji, who should have been leading at the forefront, instead returned to his front and threw a longbow over to him
Even if there is a hint of envy towards the other party's awakening of their bloodline, he has not lost the inner drive deep within his heart
Indeed, Xuan Ye has complete confidence, as no bloodline power of any ocular technique can compare to the bloodline power he has personally experienced through mutation. However, one thing that leaves him somewhat uncertain is whether Jack was suddenly frightened by his eyes during their battle, or if those eyes possess other functions.
The image of effortlessly defeating the enemy in laughter and conversation suddenly collapsed, as a general's charisma lasts no longer than three seconds
Somewhat absent-mindedly, he nodded, and Xuan Ye did not understand what he was doing this for
Ha ha! What, do you want me to scold you too? Don't be so wishy-washy, losing to him is not unjust. Let me tell you a secret, this kid has probably awakened a rather rare bloodline power.
Cut it out, do you still want to hide something? I can see right through you, you know
It seems that he has begun to disperse the onlookers, as he does not wish to disclose the situation of Xuan Ye.
Rologgi first laughed heartily and patted Jack on the shoulder, the cheerful atmosphere dispelling much of Jack's gloom. Then, feigning mystery, he lowered his voice and spoke, which inadvertently caught the attention of Xuan Ye, who was rubbing his temples.
This is a spectacular scene that is extremely difficult for them to witness in their own capacity, as a Level 6 knight squire has surprisingly defeated a Level 8 knight squire. Is this the terrifying power of possessing a legacy? It is unclear what level of technique could achieve such an effect
Given my current strength of a level 5 warrior, which would be suppressed and overwhelmed by Gypsy techniques without the use of bloodline power, it is still safer for Temo to hold a bow and arrow at the back, making a show of it, while gradually absorbing and digesting experience along the way
If it were other weapons, their weight would seem inconsequential, but under normal circumstances, a longbow clearly cannot reach such a weight. This somewhat dark longbow is surprisingly a heavy bow mixed with metal
The brainwashing-like images flashed once again, as a middle-aged man with a haggard expression pressed down on his shoulders, his lifeless voice echoing continuously in my mind
Pain, pain, pain
At this thought, Jack couldn't help but clench his fists
However, similarly, this also brought him some good news. Although the awakening of the bloodline power related to the Eye Technique is generally associated with relatively rare bloodlines, it seems that it does not reveal exactly which one it is.
Countless Lin Zicong wielding the Dragon-slaying Sword to slay others would be far more beautiful
This made him feel somewhat delighted, alleviating much of the oppressive emotions he had carried since his arrival.
While casually piercing through Xuan Ye's heart, Luo Luoji remained completely oblivious, turning his back to him and continuing to wave his hand as he walked towards the front of the team
How is it going? The sixth-level knight attendant should start choosing a path now, preparing for the first choice to develop either 'Stamina' or 'Health' to enhance the body's endurance, or to pursue 'Perception' to further strengthen the power of the bloodline. I cannot provide much advice on this; it depends on whether your family has any messages and your own feelings.
Recalling the brainwashing reminders from back then, Xuan Ye seems to lean somewhat towards the latter. He intends to try again when the opportunity arises, but certainly not in the near future, as he still harbors lingering fears regarding that kind of mental pollution
Just when he was feeling a bit smug, Luoluoji inadvertently doused him with a bucket of cold water
This caused Xuan Ye, who was originally prepared to retort against Sun Luoluo with a few words, to obediently close his mouth, seemingly acquiescing. Well, in fact, for him at this moment, using a bow or a sword is about the same.
The profound night was far from being as simple as a thousand English words; rather, during that period, all the objects in his vision transformed into English words. All the changes and data were also entirely composed of English words. Every transformation—characters, words, meanings, subjects, predicates, objects—was precisely and forcefully compressed and imprinted in his memory
Loroji displayed a smug expression
Although it is unclear which specific type it is, the power of the bloodline in the eyes undoubtedly encompasses insight, vision, perspective, discernment, and meticulousness. The career transition target is either a 'Ranger' skilled in archery or a specialized worker engaged in intricate tasks.
Here, young man, I lend this to you; you must be skilled in archery, am I right
Boss
"Hmph, it's rare to have such special conditions. I truly do not believe that after I unlock the Six Paths of the Flesh, I will be unable to unlock the Six Great Star Palaces of the Spirit. What difference is there between being unable to cultivate both martial and magical arts and being a useless person..."
Even Xuan Ye, who held the heavy bow, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. He felt a bit of admiration for this fellow, but it was merely a half-hearted admiration, like a half-filled bucket sloshing about. The old man of this body had mentioned that the power of this bloodline was particularly suited for the special profession of a barrier master, not for a ranger.
While speaking, he waved his hand impatiently to signal the onlooking scavengers nearby to disperse
Instinctively taking the longbow, under the impact of the sudden motion, Xuan Ye clearly felt a weight in his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes
Jack, with a somewhat complex expression, after twitching his lips, appeared somewhat regretful. His ability to suppress low-level knight attendants had always been a source of pride for him. Perhaps he could not surpass his rank, and even among his peers, he was not particularly outstanding, yet it was ultimately the result of daily practice that brought him this strength
To put it metaphorically, a top student can memorize one thousand English words in a day, but if he were to compress the content of those one thousand words into mere seconds and force it into his mind, he would likely be overwhelmed
After the long knife flew out of the arena, there was a moment of silence, but it was soon broken by a series of cries of pain
Now, with the addition of that massive volume of data analysis, Xuan Ye feels an impulse to directly pry open his own head
After taking up this heavy bow, Xuan Ye found himself somewhat at a loss regarding the situation. What does this mean? Well, as for the bow and arrows, the original owner of his body was merely at a level that could be used to "attract monsters." Of course, for his current self, both the bow and the swordsmanship he was once proficient in are in an unactivated state.
With the absolute authority of Luo Luoji within the team, the onlookers instinctively believed his words and complied with the orders
Regardless of whether one uses the Eye of the Broken Law, the various data automatically generated in normal circumstances can significantly assist in archery, especially at long distances where there is ample time for aiming and preparation to absorb and analyze the data, unlike the chaotic nature of close combat
The original master was indeed skilled in swordsmanship, but for him, it was merely a collection of memory images that had erased the marks of the soul. This is akin to the starting point of someone who can only use a bow and arrow at a basic level. At best, the journey guided by these memory images may be slightly longer.
The wound on my shoulder has not yet healed, and the meditation for strengthening my mental power has not yet commenced. My resistance to mental pollution is insufficient, and coupled with the relatively inadequate backlash from the power of my bloodline as a Level 6 Knight's attendant, it indicates that prolonged use at this moment would be somewhat overwhelming.
Although he has relatively little experience and sometimes suffers from intermittent lapses in concentration, he is not foolish. After a slight reminder from Luoluoji, he realized that making his bloodline power widely known is indeed not a good thing, especially considering that he is burdened with some troublesome matters.
However, the conflict between the Star Palace and the Inner Court in their cultivation is quite significant, with one being static and the other dynamic. Although a barrier master is considered a special profession that also involves dual cultivation, it is evident that only activating one Earth Star Palace will lead to considerable misfortune regarding the manipulation of time and space
The current physical condition of my body causes me to unconsciously sink, which clearly indicates that this longbow is not light. The automatic calculation of its weight in my mind also confirms this, which is 73.4 jin
As Xuan Ye's spirit had recovered considerably, he was left with a slight dizziness that he could not determine whether it was due to the high temperature or residual effects. While carrying the leather bag he was responsible for, he continued walking, digesting Luo Luoji's advice, and inwardly marveling at the breadth of this fellow's knowledge, as he was able to discern the source of his bloodline power.
Your bloodline power resides in your eyes, does it not
Oh, so it involves a shoulder injury, huh? Your willpower is really lacking, not even as good as a woman's. Alright, alright, let's disperse, haven't you seen a young genius with a legacy before?
If it is merely the power of the Eye of Lawlessness, it would probably just allow one to see through the techniques; how to make a judgment still relies on oneself
It seems that your bloodline also possesses a power with significant side effects
Damn, no wonder there is such a top-tier bloodline power. This unique advantage is not even focused on a professional magic system route, but rather a special profession that transitions from a physical system to a semi-magic system. It turns out the body cannot bear it, you bastard!
What a spirit of hatred and pollution!
After giving a subtle signal to Jack to keep it a secret, Loloji then spoke to the struggling Xuan Ye with a hint of amusement, causing the latter to momentarily be taken aback. However, by the time he regained his composure and began to ponder, his expression had slightly changed.
At this moment, Jack also regained his composure, after all, he is an experienced and seasoned knight squire, and he knows how to control his inner self
Hehe, after all, these are just guest appearances; I am ultimately a man destined to become the king of magic
Among them, a few relatively younger individuals, who have other plans for their future, are filled with a sense of longing in their eyes, seemingly hoping to reach such a level in their own future. This includes the Gypsy, whose face is full of admiration and envy.
However, if there is only the lengthy experience of soul data, one can only discern various useless data as usual; even if one can see it, there is no way to avoid it, much like when dueling with a Gypsy.
I can do it too! I will definitely succeed! I am only forty years old! As long as I break through to the rank of a Level 9 Knight Squire, with the savings I have accumulated over the years, I will surely be able to successfully change my profession! There is still a chance!
Although the direction is indeed correct, the extent is vastly different! Jack experienced an instantaneous mental freeze, to the point where his physical body did not exhibit any significant fluctuations, maintaining its instinctual operation. Xuan Ye, lacking any foundational swordsmanship skills, arrived at a drastically different conclusion due to these discrepancies in several areas
After comforting himself for a moment, Xuan Ye silently revised his route once again, for words only bring tears
Xuan Ye had an expression that seemed to say, "This is just stating the obvious"
As he took the bow, Xuan Ye instinctively spoke, somewhat at a loss.
The slightly pained groan of Xuan Ye pulled the dazed Luoluoji back from the chaos of the wind, as he looked at Xuan Ye with the gaze one would use to observe a magical beast. After clearing his throat, he spoke.
The little homebody is easily satisfied
He could recall the recent duel, the terrifying blood-red eyes that seemed to absorb his very soul in an instant, and the opponent's still somewhat unrefined sword grip, all of which left him feeling somewhat unsettled
Even if he were to lose to the scions of some noble families, it would still be acceptable, as the disparity in resources is too great. In terms of martial skills and techniques, all he possesses is mere proficiency, which cannot compare in quality.
The burly, rugged man extended his finger, which was as thick as a radish, and waved it around
The Eye of the Broken Law itself is the pinnacle of bloodline power! The burden on both the body and mind is quite substantial, and coupled with the fact that he is still in a state of injury and has not yet recovered, it is naturally adding insult to injury
Having had personal experience, Xuan Ye, after receiving a reminder from Luo Luo Ji, felt somewhat frustrated to discover that he seemingly could not give up the cultivation of his physical body, unless he was willing to abandon his greatest reliance at present
Countless Li Yangs in my mind are incessantly reciting different English versions of the Buddhist scriptures in a frenzied English tone, which is even more terrifying
