Cataclysm King

Chapter 336 Promoted to the fifth level

 The Southern Continent, among other things, is extremely rich in materials for various legendary and mythical monsters.

Aragorn not only sent the main material [Three-Headed Chimera]. There are also dozens of top-quality materials that card masters in the Eastern Continent have never heard of, such as [Skull of Earth Dragon Godolon], [Azcro's Soul-nurturing Grass], and [Gland of Hell Poison Frog]. .

 You can't get rid of the bad ones, all the materials are rare and rare.

 It cannot be measured by value.

 This gift is not light.

This also allows Master Merlin to have enough materials to choose from after checking Ji Xun's body and refine professional cards that are as suitable as possible.

 The final product is also very ideal.

 【Three-Headed Golem·Weird Chimera】

 Quality: dark gold

Detailed explanation: Order Path's '6 of Spades·Retribution Iron Guard' fifth-level career card; Dragonborn's exclusive career card 'Sahamut' improved from the original template; fusion requires flesh and blood attributes of no less than 255, and comprehensive resistance to dark elements. The value is 110, the wisdom is not less than 50, and the resistance to alienation of dragon blood is not less than 15%; after fusion, you will get the body of the 'Three-headed Chimera' demon, and gain super flesh, wisdom, and huge increases in elements; all dragon descendants Ability +7, Mythical Bloodline +1, High Law Suppression Resistance +15%; Obtain an increase in the growth limit of the three systems, and gain a huge increase in Law Perception;

 Now it has become Lv4 (2213/80000).

 The first time Ji Xun saw the attributes of the finished card, he was not only surprised but also amazed.

 This day, in the corner of the laboratory.

The various arcane skill proficiency levels on the attribute panel have been intuitively improved a lot.

This was even somewhat beyond Ji Xun’s expectations.

 The higher the rank, the more prominent this feeling is.

This time after advancing to the fifth level, Ji Xun obviously felt that the whole world in his eyes was completely new.

Human card masters in the Eastern Wastelands, even if they are level 4 Dzogchen who are pure power professionals like [Black Knight], if their flesh and blood single attribute can exceed 220, they are considered to be at an excellent level.

Taken together, except for the unusual body brought by the dragonborn's bloodline, the human body is really beyond compare.

 The most important thing is the improvement of understanding on a transcendent level.

 This is the case with this professional card.

Ji Xun carefully sensed the laws in the void, and his face was filled with energy.

 In addition to ascetic practice, the only way is to rely on enlightenment.

“Is this the fifth level? Sure enough, the level is higher and understanding the laws is much easier.”

 The efficiency of meditative breathing has increased by more than 50%.

 On the panel, flesh and blood attributes such as strength have skyrocketed from “270+” to “400+”.

 Every time he advanced, the world in his eyes would change drastically.

 There has been a qualitative leap in strength.

 Squeezing his arm, the knotted muscles swelled under his skin. It was like igniting explosives when he accumulated strength, and an explosive sense of power accumulated instantly.

 There are no surprises in the advancement process.

 Ten days flash forward.

The fusion threshold for this professional card is a minimum of 255 for all attributes of the flesh and blood system.

The last time Ji Xun's proficiency in this secret technique skyrocketed, it was during the time when Gong Wu personally taught him in Shangbang Prison.

 But it has to be said that the more stringent the fusion conditions are, the better the improvement will be after advancement.

It's like the magical and mysterious method of "Gluttony".

 The laws of the universe that were invisible before can now be seen;

You can now learn the secrets of exercises that you couldn’t understand before.

Even the various martial arts secrets that I have long been familiar with, my understanding has been improved to a higher level.

There are also many requirements such as wisdom, elemental affinity, etc.

 Because it is a professional card strictly customized by Master Merlin, the probability of distortion is extremely low.

Ji Xun is still immersed in a deep meditative state.

  I don’t want to waste it, and I am still digesting the last remaining extraordinary energy released by the professional card in my body.

 After getting the finished product card, he started the fusion advancement in the laboratory.

You must know that if you want to improve your proficiency in the Fifty-Two Magic Mysteries, each level will be a big bottleneck.

  He remembered clearly that before the advancement, the panel showed Lv3 (3331/20000).

As Master Merlin said, the physical quality of the dragon-born card master is the closest to the conditions of those card masters who can integrate the original template in ancient times.

 In fact, he successfully advanced two days ago.

 After doing daily meditation for more than half a year, my proficiency level increased by less than 2,000 points.

 It directly improved to a big level.

From the perspective of fusion conditions, it has an outrageous threshold that is impossible for ordinary human fourth-level card masters to fuse.

  Ji Xun is very satisfied with this card.

  In other words, it would normally take several years to advance this secret technique to a large level through hard work.

At a certain moment, he finally slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

However, this time he advanced, he improved directly in just ten days.

 This is not just the case with this secret method, but with almost all secret methods and martial arts.

Ji Xun was pleasantly surprised when he saw this, but he also understood what was going on. He thought to himself: "Without the surge in the 'wisdom' attribute, these improvements would never have been so exaggerated."

 He is also grateful for his promotion choice.

 The previous few advancements were almost purely physical improvements, so the skyrocketing attributes were all physical attributes, and the results were changes that could be fully predicted.

And this time the professional card greatly improved his "wisdom" and brought him different gains.

 Some unexpected improvements in “soft power” are surprising.

 After coming into contact with "I am the world", Ji Xun also understood more deeply that the "wisdom" attribute can directly increase combat effectiveness.

 The growth of “wisdom” is described very abstractly.

Ji Xun felt that if he really had to have a concept, it would be like playing chess.

 Previously, when he played chess, he might only be able to fully deduce all the trends in the next five moves.

 But now, it might be seven steps.

 Each step of improvement requires a geometric increase in the amount of thinking and calculations required.

Although it is not directly visible to people like the attributes of the physical body, wisdom can maximize the combat effectiveness of the body.

Ji Xun estimated that the combat effectiveness he could exert in his current situation could even be stronger than the pure physical line that had 20-30% higher attributes than his own.

“This is how JOKER’s multi-sequence specialization works.”

 After advancing, he had a deeper understanding.

  The combination of professional sequences may lead to an unexpected improvement in combat effectiveness.

This will be applied to all kinds of learning and understanding of magic, and will also bring him continuous huge improvements for a long time to come.

 Successfully advance and feel good.

Ji Xun was carefully analyzing his improvement after integrating professional cards. At this time, he heard an old man talking to himself: "Oh, the outside **** 'Takpala, the source of the disease' is still here." It's really interesting. Its body is actually in the form of a virus. No wonder it can't be killed. Those seniors in Talon's period also had really fantastic ideas. It's a pity that they developed this kind of medicine. This kind of special medicine needs to be injected as soon as possible after infection, and There is no way to stop the spread of the disease”

“This kind of disease medicine is still an extraordinary level of restraint. If we work backwards from the genetic level, can we directly modify some fragments of human genes to make people directly immune to pollution to the greatest extent?”

“It’s a bit difficult. It took those people during the Talon period many years to find ‘natural antibodies’. Where can I find so many experimental samples? The [Hero] sequence is not easy to be infected, but where can I find such experimental subjects?”

“Oh, I almost forgot. Ji Xun was infected with the [Blood Plague] and didn’t die. He shouldn’t be infected. Isn’t this the best natural antibody?”

“That’s right, the genetic chains of the ‘Seven Lords of Natural Disaster’ can be integrated with each other without any exclusion.”

ˆ “.”

  Ji Xun’s eyes twitched inexplicably when he heard his name.

 In the laboratory, you can always hear this kind of situation where it is obviously one person, but it seems like many people are having an intense discussion.

 Looking over, Master Merlin was busy in front of the pile of instruments.

 On the other side, there is a mountain of information.

These are ancient research materials that Ji Xun found in [DP-955 Research Institute] before.

This is of little use to him, but it is a treasure for scientists like Master Merlin, who has read so much without sleep these days.

Just by looking at it, the old man who had been studying like crazy discovered it immediately and said in surprise: "Ji Xun boy, have you advanced?"

He said without any hesitation, he urged: "Come and draw a tube of blood, let me see the situation."

Ji Xun smiled helplessly, but walked over and drew a tube of blood skillfully.

This is not the first time. When I was infected with the blood plague before, I did this procedure almost every day.

Merlin took the test tube and put it into the instrument while sighing: "Your current situation is really special. Your demonic form is getting closer and closer to the legendary 'Image of the Demon God.'"

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally.

 If he is willing now, he can transform into a composite form of a three-headed chimera, a werewolf, a dragon, and a red devil.

 In short, he looks more and more like the legendary gods and demons.

 He thought it was pretty good.

 But it just doesn’t quite meet human aesthetics.

Master Merlin looked at the highly active blood sample and continued: "Tsk, tsk, there is no rejection conflict among so many alien bloodlines, the [Blood Plague] must have contributed a lot."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and said: "The dragon can have no reproductive isolation from almost any creature because the god-level genes are too powerful and tolerant. The tolerability of [Blood Plague] is still there. Go. I even suspect that your kid can now unlock the restrictions on human reproduction to a certain extent. Do you want to try? I have an idea."

 “No. I don’t want to.”

Ji Xun glanced at the stitched monster samples soaking in the laboratory out of the corner of his eye, interrupting Master Merlin's strange thoughts.

Of course he knows that the [Blood Plague] has helped a lot.

 I thought it was pollution before, but now it’s more like a blessing in disguise.

The divine substance of Scarlet Corruption·Seades is more like a universal blender, perfectly blending the blood of werewolves, dragons, chimeras, and demons together.

 This made Ji Xun have some more suspicions about the immortality of the "Seven Lords of Natural Disasters".

Since they are sealed in the same jar, there must be some connection.

Master Merlin: "Oh, that's a shame."

Ji Xun didn't plan to stay in the laboratory for long. After drawing blood, he said hello and left the laboratory.

 Because he knew that Aragorn was currently a guest in a secret base of the Alliance Army. This time I was able to advance smoothly, and the favor from the other party was not small.

　Got to see it.

 Two days later.

 Northwest of the laboratory, in an empty cave valley.

This place is covered with various ferns with light green light spots like fireflies on their leaves.

When Ji Xun came, a fierce battle was going on here.

As soon as he arrived, on a hillside at the entrance of the valley, the two of them greeted him: "Mr. Ji Xun, here! Here!"

That beautiful girl in the princess dress is Alice.

 Beside her is her little follower, Alan.

Ji Xun walked over.

Alice greeted warmly: "Mr. Ji Xun, long time no see."

Ji Xun smiled slightly: "Miss Alice, long time no see." Even though he guessed something, he paused, then motioned to the distant shelling-like battle and asked, "What's going on?"

Alice said in a rather helpless tone: "It's Aragorn and senior Gong Wu who are sparring. They have been fighting for two days and two nights."

Ji Xun listened and his eyes twitched.

No wonder they chose such a remote place to meet. If a battle of this magnitude were to take place in a city, the city would be destroyed.

However, it is normal to think about it.

Miyawu Nawu Chi, when he meets a suitable opponent, he will definitely not be able to help but compete with each other.

 There was no one in Donghuang who could fight before.

 There is now.

At the same time, Ji Xun was also a little surprised: "The old man has just advanced to the seventh level, can he fight Aragorn for two days and two nights?"

Although Ji Xun has never seen Aragon's combat power in its heyday, he had access to a lot of intelligence from the Southern Continent when he was pretending to be an intelligence businessman.

He knew very well that Aragorn was the S-class wanted criminal with the highest bounty among seventh-level card masters on the Southern Continent’s wanted list.

  And it is the [Hero] sequence.

 His strength is considered to be top among the same level.

Ji Xun also thinks that Gong Wu is very powerful, but he has reached that level not long after he advanced?

 hiss. The old man is indeed a martial arts wizard who has not been seen in the Eastern Wasteland for a thousand years.

 The battle was not over yet, Ji Xun sat down on the stone.

Alice on the side was sharing the picnic dessert she had made, and said: "Mr. Ji Xun, I heard about you recently. You are really awesome. You actually killed Salo."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun didn't know how to respond, so he laughed dryly.

 If you really think about it, Salo, the Nineteenth Red Dragon Prince who died in his own hands, was still Alice's brother.

However, Alice's mother is a forest witch, and apart from her bloodline, she has little to do with the royal family.

  Having some special experiences, she now has nothing to do with the Red Dragon Royal Family.

 After getting to know each other, Alice is also very talkative.

　　Chatting about some topics in the Loon Highlands, and her experience as a guest in the Alliance Army these days, she always praised "Sister Carter".

Ji Xun heard a lot of news from acquaintances. He always had a smile on his face and occasionally responded while digesting the advanced knowledge in his mind.

 After waiting for two hours, the fighting stopped suddenly.

Ji Xun and the other two people on the hillside looked over and saw two men in ragged clothes walking out.

　　Although both of them had tired faces, they could not hide their excitement.

Ji Xun looked over and thought softly in his heart: "Is the old man rejuvenated?"

Of course he recognized the little old man as Gong Wu at a glance.

  But it’s not the same as when I saw it before.

Miya Wu’s white hair actually had some green hair, and his skin that was originally full of wrinkles became much tighter.

 The key is that his energy and blood are so strong that they are as hot as the scorching sun at noon.

This is completely different from the previous sunset.

“Is there such a change in the seventh level?”

Ji Xun rolled his eyes and then remembered an explanation.

 After the seventh-level human personality is promoted to the "demigod status", the life span will be greatly increased.

Like an eagle’s beak being cut off and reborn, flesh and blood and spirit will reach a new level.

Especially for the qigong master lineage, which is a profession that is good at cultivating qi, the changes are particularly obvious after years of cultivating qi.

Ji Xun glanced at Gong Wu, and in a blink of an eye he saw the slender man next to him.

Blonde hair, sunshine, and a hearty smile.

 “Heroic” probably describes this appearance.

If it weren't for the two huge bags on his forehead, which made him look a little embarrassed, he would look pretty good.

 “Aragorn turns out to be like this”

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first time he saw Aragorn who was not in a toad state.

The two came over, and Alice greeted him enthusiastically. She looked at the bag on his forehead, blinked, and joked: "Aragorn, are you okay?"

Aragorn smiled and shook his head: "It is an honor for me to compete with Senior Gong Wu. Senior's understanding of martial arts is the highest I have ever seen. I have benefited a lot. Thank you Senior for your guidance."

Gong Wu: "Qi is not bad. This is the first time for me to meet a [Heroic] card master in so many years. You are the most qualified among the young people I have met."

 Aragorn smiled heartily, "Haha."

Alan on the side opened his innocent eyes and asked curiously: "Mr. Aragon, which of you won?"

Ji Xun is also curious about this question.

Hearing this, Aragorn had a wry smile on his face and said: "Senior Gong Wu's martial arts realm is much higher than mine. If I hadn't been promoted to the seventh level much earlier, I would have been defeated long ago."

Gong Wu didn’t deny it either.

This old man has such a temper, he is never humble, and he never minces words.

Aragorn did not expect that there would be such a strong person in the Eastern Wasteland, and said meaningfully: "But next time we meet, I will definitely not be your opponent."

Ji Xun saw the two coming and said hello.

Gong Wu nodded casually, glanced at the "qi" on his body, as if he had seen through something, his eyebrows jumped, and said: "Ji Xun boy, have you advanced? Tsk tsk, it seems to be pretty good."

Ji Xun also felt very good, but he was not as thick-skinned as the old man. He responded: "Yeah. Thanks to the materials sent by Aragorn, I was lucky enough to advance."

Aragorn shook his head with a smile and corrected: "Brother Ji Xun, you are able to fuse the [Holy Dragon Iron Guard] Golem Card of the Red Dragon Royal Family. How is it a 'lucky'? It is clearly because you are extremely strong. You are too humble."

Ji Xun didn’t dwell on this topic anymore and smiled without saying a word.

Gong Wu didn't like this irritating way of communication, so he said directly: "Ji Xun boy, I'm leaving in two days. If you have anything you want to learn, tell me as soon as possible."

Ji Xun is very familiar with the old man's conversational rhythm, and it's not surprising that he can guess his purpose.

 Originally, I came here to learn from the old man.

 Before, my level was low, many things were out of reach, and I was powerless.

 It’s almost ready to learn now.

 He just said in surprise: "You want to leave?"

Ji Xun heard the implication. This seemed to be a very formal farewell.

"Um."

Gong Wudao: "My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I plan to go to the southern continent to have a look. There are many masters there, and there are also some ancient martial arts schools that have been passed down."

Hearing this, Ji Xun understood what the old man meant.

　　It turned out to be the southern continent.

With a stop at the Shenxu Treasure House and a battle at the Nugget Pier, Gong Wu's reputation has spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland. Going to the Southern Continent will definitely be a big hassle.

 So knowing the danger and still planning to go shows the determination of martial arts.

Ji Xun expressed his understanding and did not intend to persuade. He just asked: "Senior, do you want to unite the 'Little Runes'? What I mean is"

He originally wanted to suggest that he go to the Mausoleum of Augustus to see the [Emperor's Stone Tablet], but before he finished speaking, Gong Wu knew what he wanted to express and said: "I have my own path. Now contact Martial arts insights that are too high beyond my own realm will actually affect my practice."

 He knew very well that Emperor Lanlingst was indeed very strong, proficient in many professional sequences, and at an extremely high level.

 But every card master is unique.

 No one except himself will be absolutely suitable for the path he has taken.

  Gong Wu has his own understanding and pursuit of martial arts.

 This is also the confidence that genius has in himself.

Ji Xun listened thoughtfully.

Gong Wu continued: "It's not just the bottleneck in terms of rank, but also the realm of martial arts. It needs some practical training."

 Speaking of this, Aragorn said with great emotion: "Senior Gong Wu has already touched the legendary 'Martial Saint Realm'."

That realm is out of reach even for him.

Ji Xun didn’t understand what he was hearing.

 While chatting about this topic, the atmosphere became a little serious.

  I didn’t expect an unexpected incident.

Aragorn was still talking when his expression changed. Dense pustules suddenly spread all over his body, and his body was rapidly swelling visibly to the naked eye.

 In the blink of an eye, he had transformed from a human form into a huge toad.

Ji Xun and the others looked at the huge toad with slightly strange expressions.

 Aragorn's big face was full of helplessness as he explained: "This is a blood curse, and it occasionally gets out of control."

 The previous two days and two nights of sparring consumed too much mana power, and I accidentally lost control.

 Alice and Alan are used to it.

Ji Xun has also seen him in his toad form.

Gong Wu looked at it and asked, "Will you be stronger in this form?"

The expression of interest seemed to be because he had never fought with a toad before, and he had the idea of ​​​​trying it out.

 Aragorn said helplessly: "No. On the contrary, it is weaker."

Gong Wu gave up after hearing this.

Ji Xun knew that this curse was actually the inheritance of pollution from "Takpara, the source of the plague". He thought of something and said, "Well, I found some information in the Plague Swamp before. Master Merlin is studying it, and maybe he can completely solve this problem in the future. .”

"Um."

 Aragorn smiled as he listened.

 But actually I don’t care.

This curse has troubled the family for thousands of years, and they have long been used to it.

Ji Xun is not sure whether it can be solved. We will talk about it when the time comes.

 But this time, in addition to thanking Aragorn, he had something serious to do.

It just so happens that Gong Wu is also here and can give him some advice. Ji Xun didn't even have any ink, so he just took out a copper plate and said, "By the way, I have one more thing."

Looking at this ancient copper piece with a mysterious aura, several other people cast curious glances.

"This is?"

 Aragorn certainly knew what it was.

 But he was curious as to which piece of the fifty-two sequence this was.

Ji Xun said bluntly: "This is the exclusive secret method of the hero sequence, "The Sunless Sun"."

"ah?"

 As Aragorn listened, the expression on the toad's face was obviously stagnant.
