Thunder Tiger Momentum

The discovery of such an "Artificial Magic Crystal" chamber in a sealed underground laboratory was indeed unexpected.

After studying it for a long time, Tuster also came to a conclusion: these "Artificial Magic Crystal" may indeed be what ancient goblins used as energy.

For example, the legendary "Magic-Powered Cannon," the energy supply for the previous "elevator," and even the high-precision equipment throughout the ruins.

The old man had previously noticed that many instruments lacked crucial energy supply equipment. Now it seems that it wasn't a lack, but rather that he hadn't understood the specific energy supply principles. Now that he understood the "energy," many design concepts became clear.

Currently, those "Artificial Magic Crystal" appear to be a more stable and advanced energy source than "steam power." They can be used in some small, high-precision instruments. However, for Mechanical City, even setting aside the cost of using gold as fuel, the energy they provide is far from sufficient. The cost would also be many times higher. They can probably only serve as a supplementary energy source to meet the demands of a steam engine.

The key point is that the equipment in this sealed laboratory that generates "Abyssal Demonic Qi" can be disassembled and taken away!

This means that Rein and his group will now have an unlimited source of magical energy, a treasure trove for cultivation, and an Artificial Magic Crystal factory.

However, without a proper resettlement plan, they currently have no intention of moving the equipment. Leaving it underground seems to be the best option.

As for what exactly was in that metal can?

Although Rein was curious, as long as he wasn't insane, he would never do something as foolish as opening the can to check it.

Not to mention that such sophisticated goblin equipment cannot be restored once opened, the unknown risks alone are something no one can bear.

Even a fool would think that this thing could provide the same function as a nuclear reactor, and the dangerous things inside would definitely not be less dangerous than radioactive materials.

Besides, this equipment has been running for tens of thousands of years, it's incredibly stable. Wouldn't it be better to use it for cultivation? Why risk messing with it?

There are still some unknown areas in this Goblin Ruins, but Rein did not continue to participate in the exploration.

Both Tuster and Ymir felt that his immediate priority was to write down the goblin technology documents he had memorized. The "Lord of the City" didn't need to worry about collecting the spoils or other miscellaneous tasks.

Anyway, if there's anything good, Ymir will think of it for him.

Then, Rein didn't go anywhere else. He stayed in the "Artificial Magic Crystal" laboratory, set up a table and chairs, and then there was a thick pile of white paper. He started copying books.

This is a very time-consuming task. It's not just about copying text; there are thousands of professional books and various highly detailed Goblin Technology Blueprints that require a great deal of effort to carefully transcribe.

But since I have the [Thunder Totem], I can become stronger just by standing and breathing.

Rein also planned to use the "Abyssal Demonic Qi," which was seven or eight times denser than outside, to fully cultivate his battle qi to the Third Tier level while copying the book.

Just then, Bazel mentioned that he had fought a fierce battle with that legendary skeleton and gained some insights into the laws of higher levels, so he left it behind as well.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ymir bid farewell, as she was returning to Black Dragon City to oversee urban development, and would then arrange for others to come here to mine and construct.

Old Master Tuster did stay behind, studying and tinkering with the machines left behind in the goblin city. But the old man was so engrossed in goblin technology that he rarely came down except to occasionally check on Rein's copying progress.

Rein and Bazel settled down in this laboratory.

Cultivation knows no time; time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Finally, two months later.

Because of the extremely dense "Abyssal Demonic Qi" in this laboratory, Rein reached the level of overflowing Second Tier battle aura.

Because of the Bloodline Worms, his meridians can withstand almost limitless battle qi.

After trying it out, Rein discovered that once his battle aura reached a little over twice the original estimate, it would not increase no matter how much he absorbed.

However, this was already an unexpected surprise.

If he considered his previous battle qi from advancing from the first to the Second Tier First Tier the Transcendent as 100 units, then his normal Second Tier overflow state after taking the [Fate Weaver] Golden Potion should have been around 500 units. Also, because he was a "Qi Master" using the "Breath of Lightning," his battle qi would be somewhat thicker, but no matter how outstanding his talent, it wouldn't exceed 700 units.

However, he currently possesses over 1500 more units of fighting spirit. (Ordinary black iron and silver are worth about 200-300, and gold is worth about 500.)

This amount of fighting spirit absolutely crushes any other Transcendent being of the same level.

Moreover, once you take the Gene Potion and break through the third Gene Chain, your fighting spirit will increase by three to five times, and this difference will snowball and grow bigger and bigger!

Moreover, at the First Tier, 100 units condensed exactly ten Gang Line.

He had originally estimated that when his Second Tier battle qi was fully condensed, he would have 150 battle qi lines. However, he discovered that the more Gang Line he had, the greater the base amount of Gang Line. So far, he only had about 80 lines, just half of what he had expected.

This is already a pleasant surprise; normally, forty items would be quite good.

With so many Gang Line, as long as Rein doesn't get his head smashed by a single punch, the chances of him dying from ordinary injuries are extremely low.

Once the fighting spirit is full, the next step is naturally advancement.

However, advancing to the Third Tier the Transcendent is different from the Second Tier. In addition to Gene Potion and overflowing battle qi, there is another major hurdle.

On this day, Rein took out the Third Tier lightning-type "Thunder Tiger Magic Core" that he had prepared long ago, intending to absorb it and elevate the laws of lightning-type battle qi to a higher level.

To prevent failure, two magic cores were specially prepared.

This magic core was a private treasure that Ymir brought out from the Oma Royal; it was extremely rare. Knowing that Rein had advanced to the lightning element, she generously gave it away.

Lightning-type magical beasts are rare to begin with, let alone Third Tier "Lightning Tiger"—a magical beast with pure Thunder Law and an imposing aura.

This was the choice that the Transcendent predecessors of Mafat guided for Rein, in order to better suit his Transcendent path based on strength.

This pair of top-grade magic cores is so rare that you probably couldn't find another pair like it in the two great empires of Oma City.

There were only two people in the laboratory. Apart from the strange instrument that was still emitting black smoke and making a faint sound, the room was extremely quiet. With Bazel there, there was no fear of any unexpected events. This was a very suitable environment for cultivation.

"Call"

With everything ready, Rein slowly exhaled a breath, held the "Thunder Tiger Magic Crystal" in his palm, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.

The purple battle aura behind him was like flames, blazing outwards and reaching a height of three feet.

As time passed, the layer of fighting spirit that swayed like a light veil seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, slowly condensing into the shape of a tiger, first the tiger's head, body, and tail, and then the fierce features of the Thunder Tiger.

However, for some unknown reason, the tiger formed from condensed battle aura remained shapeless and lifeless, resembling neither a cat nor a tiger. Several attempts to condense it failed, and it dissipated.

Not far away, Bazel, who was meditating, sensed something and opened his eyes to glance at it.

Then he shook his head slightly, sighed, ignored it, and closed his eyes to meditate again.

Rein has many powerful figures around him, with connections to all sorts of people.

But they all said that the Third Tier the Transcendent is a huge threshold.

After reaching the Second Tier Transcendent Battle Qi, there are two ways to advance to the Third Tier Transcendent Qi.

The first option is to directly consume Gene Potion. As long as the compatibility is high enough, the possibility of advancing to the next level is very high. However, doing so would almost completely eliminate the possibility of becoming a top-tier expert, and the chance of advancing to the Fourth Tier would be extremely slim.

Their combat effectiveness is also significantly lower than the second method!

The second way to advance is not only to make the battle qi overflow, but also to condense the scattered battle qi of the Transcendent person into the "momentum" of their own qi, so that the battle qi has its own soul.

The best and most direct method is to visualize the magic core being used and comprehend the "Beast Momentum" of that magical beast.

For example, with the "Thunder Tiger Magic Core" that Rein advanced to, he doesn't need to comprehend anything else. He only needs to comprehend the domineering and ferocious aura until his battle qi can be condensed into the shape of a thunder tiger, and then he can successfully advance.

Then, the fighting spirit will possess a "soul," and the user's physical body will receive feedback from the Thunder Tiger's abilities to the greatest extent possible. After advancing, the user will possess the ferocity of a tiger, and the power of the Thunder Tiger in their fists and feet, resulting in a surge in combat strength.

Rein naturally didn't want to stop at the Third Tier of the Transcendent; he wanted to see the scenery at even higher levels. That's why he was carefully trying to condense his own battle aura's "momentum."

Formulas, secret methods, and insights.

The most suitable magic core, the most battle qi.

Rein has almost perfect conditions for advancement.

This meditation lasted all night.

Unexpectedly, even after the energy of the "Thunder Tiger Magic Core" in his hand was completely exhausted, the "Thunder Tiger Momentum" that he had condensed seven or eight times still collapsed!

"It failed?"

When he opened his eyes again, Rein looked at the "Thunder Tiger Magic Core" in his hand, which had turned into a transparent crystal core, with disbelief.

How could I have failed to comprehend such a high-quality magic core?

He recalled the whole process, and almost everything he did was based on the insights of the experts. So why did he fail?

He knew very well that his battle qi was abundant, far exceeding that of his peers by several times. However, the "Thunder Tiger Momentum" he had condensed with purple lightning battle qi was like a sick cat, dissipating before it even took shape.

Why is this happening?!

After racking his brains for a long time, Rein was still completely baffled, but luckily there was a "Legendary Realm" Bazel in the room.

He frowned and asked with a serious expression, "Senior Bazel, excuse me. May I ask you a question? Why did I fail to condense the 'Thunder Tiger Momentum'?"

Thanks to 'Qinglian Daoge' for another 1,500 reward; 'Jin Taiyi's Guoda' 500, and 'Xiao's Empire'. Thanks to the three for their generous reward support, I'm happy.
