Cataclysm King - #336 - Chapter 336 Promoted to the fifth level

Apart from anything else, the Southern Continent 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 examining 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;

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

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.

This is the case with this professional card.

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

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

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

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

Taken together, apart from the extraordinary body brought by the dragonborn’s bloodline, the human body is really beyond compare.

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

Ji Xun is very satisfied with this card.

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

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

There are no surprises in the progression process.

Ten days passed by.

On this day, in the corner of the laboratory.

Ji Xun was still immersed in a deep meditative state.

In fact, he successfully advanced as early as two days ago.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

There has been a qualitative leap in strength.

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

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

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

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

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

I can now understand the secrets of exercises that I couldn’t understand before.

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

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

This even exceeded Ji Xun’s expectations.

It’s like the magical and mysterious method of “Gluttony”.

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

Now it has become Lv4 (2213/80000).

It was directly upgraded to a big level.

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

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

Apart from hard training, the only way is to rely on enlightenment.

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.

Later, I meditated and practiced hard every day for more than half a year, and my proficiency level only increased by less than 2,000 points.

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

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

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

When Ji Xun saw this, he was pleasantly surprised and understood what was happening. 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 physical attributes that skyrocketed were all changes with completely predictable results.

This time, the professional card greatly improved his “wisdom” and brought him different gains.

The “soft power” improvements in some unexpected places 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.

If you really want to have an idea, Ji Xun feels like playing chess.

In the past, when he played chess, he might only be able to fully deduce all the trends of the next five moves.

But now, it’s probably 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 was even stronger than the purely physical line that had 20 to 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 unexpected improvements 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 god ‘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 many years for those people in Talon’s time 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 he didn’t die. He should not 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 rejection.”

“.”

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

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

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

On the other side, there are mountains of information.

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

This was of no use to him, but it was a treasure for a scientist like Master Merlin, who had read so many of them without sleep these days.

Just by looking at it, the old man who had already studied like crazy discovered it immediately, and said in surprise: “Ji Xun boy, have you advanced?”

Without being verbose at all, he urged: “Come and draw a tube of blood, and I’ll take a look at the situation.”

Ji Xun smiled helplessly, but also 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 wishes 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 fit in with 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. [Blood Plague] plays a major role in this.”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and then 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 from the corner of his eye, interrupting Master Merlin’s strange thoughts.

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

What I thought was pollution before is now more like a blessing in disguise.

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

This gave Ji Xun some more suspicions about the immortality of the “Seven Lords of Natural Disaster”.

They will be 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 now 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.

Gotta check it out.

Two days later.

Northwest of the laboratory, in an empty cave valley.

It is covered with various ferns with light green spots on their leaves that look like fireflies.

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

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

The beautiful girl in the princess dress is Alice.

Next to 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.”

Although he guessed something, he paused and motioned to the distant shelling-like fighting sound and asked, “What is 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’s eyes twitched when he heard this.

No wonder they chose such a remote place to meet. If we were to fight at this level in the city, the city would collapse.

However, it is normal to think about it.

When Gong Wu, that martial arts idiot, meets a suitable opponent, he will definitely not be able to help but spar with each other.

There was no one in Donghuang who could fight before.

Now there is.

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

Although Ji Xun had never seen Aragon’s combat power in its heyday, he had come into contact with a large amount 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 the seventh-level card masters on the Southern Continent’s wanted list.

And it’s the [Hero] sequence.

Its strength is considered top-notch among its peers.

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

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

Before the battle was over, 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 amazing. You actually killed Salo.”

“.”

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 nothing to do with the royal family.

After 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.

She chatted about some topics in the Loon Highlands and her experience as a guest in the Alliance Army these days, and 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 tattered clothes walking out.

Although both of them looked tired, 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 different from when I saw it before.

Gong 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 turned his eyes and then remembered an explanation.

After a seventh-level human being is promoted to a “demigod destiny”, his lifespan will be greatly increased.

Just like an eagle’s beak cut off and reborn, flesh, flesh and spirit will reach a new level.

In particular, the Qigong Master lineage, which is a professional lineage that is good at cultivating Qi, has accumulated Qi for many years, and the changes are particularly obvious.

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

Blonde sunshine, bright 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, and it 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: “You are not bad. This is the first time for me to meet a card master in the [Hero] sequence 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, a wry smile appeared on Aragorn’s face, and he 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 also didn’t 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 senior’s opponent.”

Ji Xun watched the two people coming and said hello.

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

Although Ji Xun also felt very good, he was not as thick-skinned as the old man and responded: “Yes. 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 not lucky to be able to fuse the [Holy Dragon Iron Guard] Golem Card of the Red Dragon Royal Family. 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 grinding way of communication and said directly: “Boy Ji Xun, I’m leaving in two days. If you have anything you want to learn, tell me as soon as possible.”

Ji Xun was very familiar with the old man’s conversational rhythm, and it was no surprise that he could 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.

I can almost learn it now.

He just said in surprise: “You want to leave?”

Ji Xun heard the hidden meaning. 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.”

After hearing this, Ji Xun understood what the old man meant.

It turned out that I was going to the Southern Continent.

After 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 troublesome.

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

Ji Xun expressed his understanding and had no intention of persuading him. He just asked, “Senior, do you want to unite ‘Little Runes’? What I mean is”

He originally wanted to suggest that he go to the Mausoleum of Augustus to see the [Emperor’s Stele], 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 but himself will absolutely fit in with 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 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 was out of reach even for him.

Ji Xun didn’t understand what he was hearing.

When talking about this topic, the atmosphere became a little serious.

I didn’t expect it to happen unexpectedly.

Aragorn was still talking when his expression changed. Dense pustules suddenly spread on 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 giant toad.

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

Aragorn’s big face was full of helplessness, and he explained: “This is a blood curse, and it will occasionally get out of control.”

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

Alice and Alan were used to it.

Ji Xun has also seen him in his toad form.

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

The interested expression 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 at this.

But in fact, 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 tell 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 provide 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?”

Of course Aragorn 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?”

Aragorn listened, and the expression on the toad’s face was obviously stagnant.
