Cataclysm King - #94 - Chapter 94: top with first order

  Chapter 94 Top match first order

   The hunter camp in Thunderhold is much smaller than the camp in Devil’s Crossing.

   But still very lively.

   After shopping around, I found out that several different-dimensional spaces have been discovered near the fortress recently, and more and more hunters have come to hunt for treasure.

  The time when the four of Ji Xun came back was just right, the steam train back to Innocence City was just about to start.

  The three of Nan Jing left in the car first.

   Ji Xun stayed in the camp alone.

   Almost as soon as Nan Jing and others left, hundreds of people from the Black Wolf Group returned to the camp in a mighty manner.

   When these guys came, the villain first filed a complaint, and directly registered the reward with the camp hunter union.

  They said that a guy from an unknown force did not follow the rules and randomly triggered the advanced difficulty branch of “Greedy Mine”. Thus killed all the hunters involved, and some of their regiment. The most important thing is that those people took away the treasures and made that rich alien space disappear!

   This reason is also justified.

  After all, if the Black Wolf Group had the means to deal with the “Greedy Mine”, they would have dealt with it long ago.

   It is reasonable to say that there are outsiders plundering.

   Besides, similar incidents have happened before.

   In this way, the reputation of their black wolf group will be preserved.

  The hunter union obviously believed in this kind of reputable old team more, and then put up a reward.

   As one of the instigators, Ji Xun saw the reward on the notice board in the camp, but he didn’t panic at all.

  Although they were not interested in exposing the ugly face of the Black Wolf Group, they also found it ridiculous to see those guys from the Black Wolf Group biting back so shamelessly.

   Fortunately, there is no useful information on the arrest warrant.

   They only know four “persons”.

   There were more than forty solo hunters entering the space this time, who knows which four survived.

   Originally, I didn’t intend to keep alive, and I didn’t pay attention to it. Now it’s even more impossible to find someone.

   This situation is somewhat similar to Ji Xun’s previous situation in Devil’s Crossing.

   At that time, he also took the treasure of the different-dimensional space.

  But he ran away before because he provoked the fourth young master of the Cao family.

   Now that the Black Wolf Group is a second-rate hunter group, Ji Xun doesn’t think that the other party has the ability to find him.

   What’s more, there are clown masks, and the appearance can change arbitrarily, how can it be so easy to find.

  Ji Xun didn’t run around, so he pitched a marching tent in the corner of the camp.

  Mixed in the trimmed hunter group.

  In the tent.

  After waiting several hours for trouble to come to the door, Ji Xun took out the [cursed four of spades].

   Now that the materials are complete, he wants to try refining the **** fragments into a complete professional card.

  The essence of a card is a “fixed spell generator”.

  The principle is to use extraordinary materials and spells to construct a specific spell response matrix on the medium of the card.

   And the **** shard is already a semi-finished product, like an alchemy boiler.

  The boiler has been manufactured, just add materials.

   Refining a professional card requires the fusion of four extraordinary elements: elements, flesh and blood, consciousness and mystery.

   That is to say, there are usually four main materials required.

  However, there are many differences in the materials of melee-type professional cards and legal-type refining professional cards. The two elements of flesh and blood and consciousness can replace some materials related to professional requirements.

  Ji Xun just got the [Alienated Muscle of the First Generation Werewolf Infected Body (Yaoyin)] as the main material, which is the “flesh and blood” element.

  Get [Rare Silver Skull (Silver)] from the maze of the Great Cemetery, which can replace the “consciousness” element.

   There is also the [Spell Gambler’s Secondary Alienated Heart (Excellent Shining Silver)] obtained in the 407 space, which is the almost universal “mysterious” element of melee professional cards.

  There is also [Shadow of Lamp], which is the “element”, which can provide the dark elements needed by the professional card, and the quantity is sufficient.

   These four materials are definitely the top match for professional cards.

  Ji Xun asked about relevant materials at the Big Ivan Store before, and the shopping guide made it very clear that if he wanted to buy silver materials, he might be able to buy them with luck.

  But no matter how good it is, such as silver-quality materials, it is almost impossible.

  Even if the city of innocence relies on the old continent, treasures are produced all the time.

  But the real top treasures will never show up in the market at all.

   It was found in the ruins again and again, and it was taken away by the big trading house.

   These low-level people in Innocence City, where can those guys in the rich mine layer afford money?

   Shining silver materials with the prefix “excellence” like the heart of a gambling dog can’t be produced in super-difficult different-dimensional spaces, and they are hard to come by.

   Not only can’t buy it in the whole city of innocence, even the black gold chamber of commerce in the headquarters.

   Once this kind of material is produced, it will be bought by the top nobles of the Federation almost immediately.

   Absolutely impossible to flow into the market.

   Taking out the materials, Ji Xun thought about the essentials of refining professional cards.

   Then he picked up the [Cursed 4 of Spades], and after pouring in the mana, a **** four-pointed star array lit up on the card.

  Ji Xun put the required materials into the four corners of the four-pointed star.

  Like a containment card for dimensionality reduction, the materials were instantly sucked into the card.

  The extraordinary characteristics in the material were drawn out, and a series of miraculous reactions began.

  The four materials overflowed with four different levels of black light, like strands of elemental gravel, lingering and intertwined, and merged together.

  Seeing this, Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: “It should be fine.”

  With gore shards, it’s almost a fool’s play.

  But with so many high-quality materials invested, he was also a little worried about his craftsmanship.

   Something is going wrong, but I can’t find anything as good as this anymore.

   Looks good so far.

  The next thing to do is to wait.

   After a while, it took five hours.

  Ji Xun has been concentrating on the refining of professional cards.

   Fortunately, the hunters in this camp are very busy, and no one would have thought that this very rare professional card was being refined in the tent of a poor lone hunter.

  Finally, the luster on the card completely subsided.

  The werewolf pattern on the card has been completely clear.

  The fangs are sharp, the muscles are steel knots, and the sharp claws are shining coldly. It seems that a terrifying werewolf from the abyss is sealed in it.

  There is also a number “4” on the corner.

  This little card seems to contain infinite magic power, and a mysterious atmosphere blows over us.

  Ji Xun looked at the shining silver of the card, and his eyes lit up: “It’s done!”

  【4 of Spades-Wolfwalker】

  Quality: Bright Silver

Detailed explanation: The professional card refined from the original template contains the extraordinary characteristics of violence; the fusion requires the card’s strength, constitution, and agility attributes to be no less than 10, the mana value to be greater than 4500, and the darkness affinity to be no less than 40; after fusion, it will gain 35% Increase all attributes, get dark affinity, flesh and blood direction growth talent; successfully integrate to obtain the professional ability of “transformation werewolf”; the transformation of the spell card master will trigger the return of the animal form at the same time, and the own blood is transformed by the professional card, gaining barbarism Growth, the upper limit of growth is affected by the extraordinary characteristics of the body and element resistance

   Wearing the clown mask, Ji Xun saw the detailed attributes of this card.

   Densely introduced a large piece.

   “The integration requirements are so high, it is indeed the original template.”

  Ji Xun looked at the outrageous fusion conditions and exclaimed

  Strength, constitution, and agility attributes should not be lower than 10, higher than the previous fragments.

  Even if it is the same template, the quality of input materials is different, and the improvement brought by the final professional card is also different.

  Ji Xun estimated that the quality of the materials he invested was too high, which raised the quality of this professional card and also improved the fusion conditions.

  He is sure that when “Lone Wolf” Baron merged, there was absolutely no such a high threshold.

   You must know that card master apprentices who can pass 10 in a single item are considered top-notch masters.

   It is almost impossible to pass 10 in three items.

  Ji Xun is certain that it is impossible to achieve this attribute through normal physical training.

  He himself has met the requirements now, but it was obtained after the feast swallowed three pieces of [Secret Cause Spiritual Medium], which is considered a coincidence.

   But having said that, were the card master apprentices in ancient times so powerful?

  Since this template is the original template, someone must be able to integrate it.

   Can’t everyone in ancient times have an epic quality demon mark?

   And it’s not just [4 of Spades], other professional sequences must have stronger templates.

   It can be seen from this that ancient card masters seem to have much stronger physical fitness than modern card masters.

   Distracting thoughts flashed away.

  Ji Xun looked at the following attributes again, and was even more satisfied than expected, and said to himself: “35% growth? Tsk tsk, it’s really good.”

  Generally speaking, after [Beast Walker] is successfully advanced, the physical attributes of the flesh and blood direction will immediately increase by 10%-30%.

   That is the difference between ordinary, black iron, and silver professional cards.

  The better the quality, the greater the increase.

  And this range is usually called “growth talent”.

  Simply put, it is the potential of a card master brought by professional cards.

  Professional cards are like the “extraordinary seeds” of spell card masters.

  The same nutrition, light, and the potential of a seed determine the growth rate and ultimate height of a tree.

  Ji Xun learned about it from the encyclopedia.

  Usually speaking, the growth rate limit of the Tier 1 [Beast Walker] Silver Card is 30%.

  And the card in his hand is 35%.

   That is to say, if the strength is 10, after advanced, others are best at 13, while he is 13.5.

  Don’t look at the initial difference in growth rate, but with the addition of growth potential, the gap will become larger and larger.

  The following introductions, such as returning to the ancestors of the blood, barbaric growth, etc., will not know the effect until they are fused.

   As for whether it will be distorted, no one can tell.

   “This is the one!”

  Ji Xun saw the ultimate attribute of this professional card, and immediately made up his mind.

   “The other conditions are met, but the spell power is still a little weaker.”

  Ji Xun looked at his mana value of 3885, which was still far from 4500.

  Normally speaking, a card master with a spell power of 9th stage will choose to advance.

  Because the more powerful the mantra is, it can digest the extraordinary characteristics of the professional card, and the probability of distortion is smaller.

   But that’s an ordinary hunter.

  Normal breathing method is stuck at the ninth stage, which means about 3000-4000 mana value.

  Ji Xun has only reached the fourth level of formulas in the golden remnant now, and the value is almost 4000!

  The gap of several hundred, it may take several months of hard work for ordinary people who practice whiteboard breathing.

  But it is not a big problem for Ji Xun.

   Besides.

  He also wanted to test whether the effect of practice could be superimposed when two [Clay Pots of Mantras] were used together.

  Thinking of this, Ji Xun put away his career card.

  He took out the classics, and then started the daily rhythm of practicing breathing while reading.

  He also carefully recorded the changes in mana values.

   After a flash, time flies.

  Although the later stage of Katu, the mana value increases more slowly.

  But now that Ji Xun has super-high comprehension blessings, his breathing method is now Lv3, and the efficiency of breathing method is still very high.

   Seven days later.

  Ji Xun looked at his mana value of 5322, and said with emotion: “It’s almost reached the limit.”

  In order not to distort the fusion of professional cards, he didn’t dare to be careless, so he wanted to increase the mana value to the highest within his ability range.

   Now he has just touched the sixth level formula, and there is still room for the formula.

   But the body is already at its limit.

  Without changing jobs, it is already difficult for the breath method to improve the spell power.

   And through the seven-day test, Ji Xun also came to a conclusion: the two clay pots do have the superimposed effect of attracting and gathering elements.

  A single clay pot will increase the efficiency of breathing practice by about five times.

  But when the two are added together, it is only six times.

  Before, Ji Xun thought that the functions of the jars overlapped.

   It was later speculated that it should be more than that.

   The free elements in the unit space are limited.

   This is the limit of the environment, not the limit of the jar.

  The water pipe only has such a large amount of water output, even if you open two faucets, the water amount will not be doubled.

  The practice efficiency of the blessing of the two jars has allowed Ji Xun to **** up all the free elements in a large void nearby.

   But this is already very ideal.

  Can superimpose practice efficiency, this second jar is another big surprise.

  Ji Xun took a long breath, took out the four of spades, and looked forward to it in his heart: “Then… it’s time to advance.”

  There is a huge gap between apprentice card masters and official spell card masters.

   After advanced, there will be a qualitative leap in strength.

  Now the conditions have been met, and the attributes of his physical body can be increased to the upper limit.

  He also wants to try how much will change after the fusion.

   Without thinking too much, I activated the [4 of Spades-Wolfwalker].

  The six-pointed star array on the card lit up, and the mysterious spells also swam.

  The entire card turned into a little bit of black light, which merged into Ji Xun’s limbs and veins.

  He meditated cross-legged, and clearly felt the extraordinary power gradually merge into his body.

  It was similar to the time when he fused the demon mark before. It was a feeling that the level of life was raised by external forces, which made him seem to have a deeper understanding of the universe.

   At first, it was like warm rain nourishing.

   Then it was like hot magma.

  The violent energy of the professional card rushed into the viscera, bones and muscles. It was like a flood pouring in, and the original narrow stream was crazily washed away.

  The creek was washed away a little bit like this, and gradually turned into a small river.

   But the river is still raging.

   “Is this what it feels like to be distorted?”

  Ji Xun carefully felt the changes in his body.

   This process is very uncomfortable, like ten thousand ants biting.

  He didn’t look any different the whole time.

  It has been said in the encyclopedia that this is the process of extraordinary transformation.

  It’s like a snake shedding its skin. You have to destroy some things in your original body in order to gain a new life.

   The higher the quality of the professional card, the more intense this pain will be.

  Ji Xun also understood why professional cards have a fusion threshold.

  If there is no strong physical support, this force will directly smash the “stream”, and then rush disorderly in the body.

   If you can’t hold it, it’s distortion.

   Time passed by little by little.

  The extraordinary characteristics on the professional card were integrated into Ji Xun’s body little by little.

  Finally, that violent extraordinary energy rushed all the way, breaking through the blockage and the bottleneck.

  Ji Xun suddenly felt a kind of “comfort” of relief.

  It’s like a flood broke through a dam, and the splashing flood was free.

  As if the valve of the body was opened.

  The torrent of extraordinary characteristics poured into a wider lake.

“success!”

  Ji Xun felt the extraordinary characteristics in his body subside, and then opened his eyes.

  The job card in his hand also disappeared.

  He looked at the time, six hours had passed.

   Looking at the panel attributes again, it really has increased dramatically.

  「Ji Xun」

   Strength: 14.61

   Physique: 14.79

   Agility: 13.64

  Toughness: 13.51

   Spirit: 6.88

   Mana power: 5322

  Halo: Doom Gambler

  Element Affinity: Darkness 41/Light 19/Earth 19/Wind 16/Water 17/Fire 13/Thunder 8/Wood 22/Gold 10

  Professional-specific entries: [Flesh Growth], [Strong Body], [Dark Beast], [Ancestral Werewolf], [Savage Growth]

   “So strong!”

  Ji Xun looked at the data panel behind his realm, and clearly felt the powerful improvement brought about by the job change.

  From now on, he has become an official spell card master!

   Not only the physical data has skyrocketed by a large amount, but the oppressive feeling that the upper limit of the card cannot be raised before has completely disappeared at this moment.

   “Compared to the general [Spades 4-Beast Walker] occupation entry, there is one more ‘savage growth’.”

  Ji Xun looked at the content displayed by Qidi with burning eyes.

   Not just much.

  The attribute increase of each entry is almost the upper limit of the occupation sequence entry introduced in the encyclopedia.

  He also secretly thought that it was wise for him to choose werewolves as the main material.

  Although the growth talents of this abyssal undead are not top-notch, the data dimensions are very even, and they are definitely at the T0 level when combined.

  Strength, agility, physique, and toughness are the enhancements of all attributes, and they have all reached the top level!

   There is also a [Beast Transformation] skill among the skills.

  After transforming into a werewolf, it comes with a series of animal-like exclusive abilities such as supernatural agility, supernatural strength, supernatural self-healing, supernatural toughness, and supernatural perception.

   Combat power will also temporarily increase.

   With the idea together, Ji Xun couldn’t wait to try his transformation ability.

  As soon as the mantra power poured into his limbs, he saw his muscles knotted visible to the naked eye, his hair soared, and with the crackling sound of bone swelling, he turned into an upright werewolf made of steel in a blink of an eye!

   It is completely different from the werewolves seen in the different-dimensional space before.

   Even the A-level disaster is not as scary as his aura at the moment.

At this moment, Ji Xun looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was like steel needles, his muscles were as hard as iron, billowing dark elements overflowed his body like flames, his fangs were sharp, and his claws were like steel. Demons, cruelty, tyranny, and terror visible to the naked eye!

  Ji Xun looked at the ferocious look in the mirror, not surprised but happy, very satisfied: “Is this the ancestral werewolf?”

  Looking at his own data again, the strength and other items have changed from 14 to nearly 30.

   This is already at the level of a second-tier melee card master!

  The data has doubled, and the increase in combat power is more than doubled.

  Normally speaking, after [Beastwalker] transforms into a beast, it will be able to increase its combat power by 2~5 times.

  But Ji Xun felt that in his current state of being a werewolf, he beat at least 10 of them who hadn’t transformed themselves!

   And this is just advanced!

   Transformation ability and bloodline return to ancestors will continue to increase attributes, and the combat power after transformation will skyrocket in the future.

   “So strong!”

  Ji Xun saw himself at this moment, and only then did he understand why “Lone Wolf” Baron had such exaggerated fighting power back then.

  Professionals of the same level have no power to fight back under this kind of data crushing!

  If it were any other newly promoted spell card master, Ji Xun would dare to say random killing now!

  And the werewolf transformation needs to consume mana, which is another big advantage for him.

  The strong mantra can make Ji Xun turn into a beast for a longer time than ordinary people of the same profession.

  He has just entered the advanced stage, and his combat power is not as good as that of Baron, who can kill first-order curse card masters, but it won’t be long.

  The material determines the growth limit of the professional card.

  He must be stronger in the future!

   “As expected of the original template”

  Ji Xun hasn’t felt this kind of heart-pounding feeling for a long time.

  At this moment, he felt full of strength, and the bloodthirsty nature of the werewolf seemed to be integrated into the professional card. He really wanted to try his current combat power.

  However, before he had time to savor it carefully, at this moment, the pair of erect wolf ears suddenly trembled.

   “What’s the situation with this dark breath. The guy in the next tent is not a distortion?”

   “Be careful. Let’s ask.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun clearly heard the sound like a fly flapping its wings, and the sound of footsteps from far to near.

  It turns out that the sensory world of werewolves is like this.

  He Muran discovered that his senses after transformation are very wonderful.

  Vision, hearing, smell, crisis perception, the sensory world is completely different.

  In the pitch-black tent, he could see everything clearly.

  The nose sniffed again, and before the people came, he had already smelled the breath of the two hunters.

   He should have killed a monster today, and his body was stained with fresh blood.

  In his current sensory world, the blood energy is like **** ribbons in the air, and he can easily follow every scent to find the target.

  Before this is changed, he may not be able to find out when people walk to the door.

   But now, it is clear from a long distance.

  Ji Xun quickly faded out of the animal state and returned to human form.

  At this time, a question came from the door: “Hey brother, are you okay?”

  Ji Xun opened the tent and saw two hunters.

   The two of them were still stained with blood, and the smell came from their clothes.

  Ji Xun glanced at him and said with a smile, “It’s okay. What’s wrong?”

  The two of them saw that he didn’t look like he was deformed, and they didn’t mind his business, “Oh, there seemed to be a strong dark aura just now. I thought someone was deformed. It’s fine, excuse me.”

  Ji Xun nodded and closed the tent curtain.

  In the darkness, the feeling of wanting to fight a battle still persists for a long time.

  He suddenly thought of something, “Why don’t you find a different-dimensional space with a lot of monsters?”

  The camp is obviously not suitable for trying your advanced combat power, and the different-dimensional space is perfect.

   Now that he has advanced, he can continue to devour attributes from corpses to become stronger.

   What’s more, to learn that [Technique · Two Extreme Collapse] also requires advanced fighting specialization.

  I don’t expect to buy that kind of card.

  Now it is either to improve combat skills in actual combat, or go to a different dimension to try your luck.

  When he was looking for employment tasks in the Hunter’s Guild, he knew that there were dozens of different-dimensional spaces in the Thunder Fortress.

   Moreover, this is a newly developed relic, and new different-dimensional spaces are discovered almost every day.

   Not necessarily without opportunities.

  Thinking of this, Ji Xun packed the things in the tent and stuffed them into the marching backpack.

  He has barely left the tent for more than a week, and when he walked to the public activity area, he was surprised to see the camp where people came and went.

“so many people?”

  Ji Xun was also very surprised when he saw the crowded scene in the camp.

  Before, in order not to disturb my progress, the tent was soundproofed. I didn’t expect that the Thunder Fortress camp would catch up with Devil’s Crossing.

  The number of people has increased several times.

   And it’s not just the number of people, there are a lot of heavy machinery, well-equipped large hunter groups, and mercenary groups in the camp.

  The private hunter group of nobles from the rich mineral layer also came?

  Ji Xun almost remembered the emblems of all large and medium-sized hunter groups in Innocence City.

   But just wandering around in the camp for a moment, he saw several unfamiliar regiment emblems.

  These people are not a mob, and their demeanor is completely different from those idle hunters in the city of innocence.

   Most of the equipment on them is the standard equipment of the army.

   “Official hunter group?”

  Ji Xun saw the extra elite hunters in the camp, and immediately realized that there might be a large treasure in a different-dimensional space near the Thunder Fortress.

   This is not unusual in the Old World.

   PS. If there are typos, you can comment them separately in the text, and you can see them in the background. Thanks to all the book friends who corrected mistakes. I have to check it several times each time, but I don’t know why there are still so many typos.
