Phantom of the Pirate

And when he heard these two methods of Emperor Xia, Locke actually understood what the other party wanted to choose, and of course it was the second one.

After all, if this method is used, it will improve one's own strength the most. In such a situation, it is of course the one with the greatest improvement. As for the shortcoming of slow speed, when Emperor Xia mentioned this method, Locke knew that the other party must have some other method to speed up the process.

Of course, what Huang Xia told him before to be prepared actually had certain hints, that is, there might still be some pain in this process, that's why Emperor Xia mentioned this before.

In addition, there may be other effects during this process, otherwise Carmen and the others would not be allowed to arrange concealment formations around the island.

Of course, these are all analyzed by Locke, and the real situation is actually similar to what Locke analyzed, because before Locke started his own choice, Emperor Xia directly spoke to Locke for advice.

His suggestion is to let Locke choose the second method. He does have a method that can quickly help Locke refine the devil fruit in his body. After all, although Locke did not actively develop his ability to reach the level of law, the fact is Achieved, he is now indeed a devil fruit ability user at the level of law.

Under such circumstances, of course, the improvement brought about by choosing the second method is greater, although this process is indeed painful, especially under the premise of speeding up.

After all, from the analysis of the devil fruit, the ability of the devil fruit comes from the realization of the law in the fruit, and this realization ability enters the human body when a person eats the first bite of the devil fruit, and then entangles with the soul Together, if the fruit user dies, then this rule will break away from the soul to find a new fruit to live in, and then wait for others to eat the fruit to live in the soul again.

In this way, the devil fruit will also help the ability user when the ability user lives again and again, and at the same time, when the ability user dies, absorb a part of the soul energy of the ability user, and stand in for his own fruit. To be able to become the consciousness of this world.

Of course, these are some conjectures made by Emperor Xia after researching the devil fruit. Except for the last acceptance, Emperor Xia has actually confirmed everything else.

And refining the devil fruit is actually refining the part of the opponent's consciousness that has already appeared, and then let the law be completely integrated into one's soul. At that time, the law is a part of the human soul. Those weaknesses before, such as sea water What, it will not be a weakness.

That is to say, in this way, the ability of the second fruit can be naturally integrated, and since one's own soul is the incarnation of the laws of this world, it will be much easier to develop the second fruit.

After Locke agreed to choose the second method, Emperor Xia began to explain to Locke the knowledge about devil fruits and some of his research on devil fruits.

As for the first method mentioned before, Emperor Xia did not mention it. After all, although that method is indeed useful, Emperor Xia disdains it. The reason why he said that kind of distribution is just to make Locke feel It's just that he is knowledgeable. Even if Locke chooses that method in the end, he will fool Locke into choosing the second one.

Of course, under the circumstances that the two methods are better than the first one, Emperor Xia also believed that Locke would not be so stupid as to choose the first one. This was the confidence of a smart person.

After Locke briefly explained the knowledge of devil fruits, he began to arrange them in the room.

It didn't take long for a small formation to appear in the room. This formation was the method Xiahuang mentioned to Locke that could help Locke refine the devil fruit in his body.

After the formation is activated, as long as Locke sits in the formation, the formation can help Locke find his own soul, and then discover where the laws in the soul are embodied.

Afterwards, Emperor Xia will increase his control over the formation, making the formation fully functioning and helping Locke integrate the laws in his body. This process will be very painful, just like Ling Chi in ancient times, scraping his body flesh.

And the process of this fusion is also the same, but the pain that acts on the soul at this time cannot be avoided at all.

In fact, if this process goes according to the normal process, although there will be some pain, it will not appear suddenly like this. The normal process is like the silent spring rain that moisturizes things. Although it is a little cool, everything He also slowly recovered under his coming.

After explaining to Locke the method of sensing the soul for the first time, Emperor Xia let Locke sit in the center of the formation, and after seeing Locke nodded to indicate that he was ready, he directly activated the formation.

A burst of faint blue light emerged from the formation, and then directly enveloped Locke, who was sitting cross-legged in it, and Locke also began to close his eyes, following the blue light that entered his body, Find where your soul is.

"I hope you don't let me down!"

Looking at Locke who was slowly entering the sedation, Emperor Xia murmured such a sentence in a low voice, and then saw him wave his hand in the air again, and a meal of shining materials appeared in front of him. These materials Just looking at their respective flashes of light, it is absolutely not easy.

It's just that Emperor Xia didn't seem to know the value of these things. After these materials appeared, he directly crushed them all, and then mixed them together, and then used the mixed material powder to start the powder where Locke was just now. The outside of the formation continued to be depicted.

I don't know what he is portraying. At this time, Locke has completely immersed himself in the world inside his body, and he has no idea of ​​the perception of the outside world, so he has no idea what Emperor Xia is doing.

Little by little, guided by the blue light, he went directly to the depths of his mind, found his own soul, and at the same time saw the black lines wrapped around the soul, and knew that it was the materialized existence of the phantom fruit .

Without giving Locke too much time to think, Locke's consciousness automatically entered the soul, and then the eyes of the soul slowly opened, and just like Locke outside, sitting cross-legged in the void, Locke also immediately According to the method of refining fruit that Emperor Xia told him before, he began to refine the fruit.

There is no need for Locke to notify the outside world. Just when Locke started refining, a burst of light, which was different from the array just now, rushed into the soul, continuously providing energy for Locke's soul, and at the same time helping Locke start refining the fruit .
