Chapter 476
Leon was slightly surprised. "Wow, that's amazing."
Claudia shrugged. "Primal Magic is a very mysterious thing, and the 'Soul Judgment' your wife used is the best of the best. These two are still considered good."
Leon blinked, looked down at the manual in his hand, and thought, "It makes me want to try it out too..."
However, Claudia extended her index finger and poked Leon in the chest.
"You can't do that. You've transplanted the Silver Dragon King's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, so you can't accumulate Magic Power normally. If you want to condense Primal Magic, you have to rely on a lot of ordinary Magic Power. It's really not worth it to rely on what's stored in the Dragon Mark."
"So in actual combat, you should just keep using your old tricks. They're not outdated, are they?"
Leon nodded and sighed, "I know that too, but it's still a little disappointing to have such great power but not be able to try practicing it."
Upon hearing this, Claudia raised her beautiful eyebrows.
"If you really want to experience something different, then I actually have something that suits you."
Leon's eyes lit up immediately. "What is it?"
"Hmph, you brat, you're really greedy."
"Senior, giving me two books is the same as giving me one more, it won't make a difference."
"Don't try to be clever with me, here you go."
"Thank you, senior!"
"Don't thank me yet. You've already owed me two huge favors in just ten minutes. You should think about what you'll do when I make things difficult for you in the future."
Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Leon couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
It turns out that the common characteristics of the Dragon Kings are not only stubbornness, but also cunning.
46. I have a flexible moral bottom line.
Claudia led Leon to another bookshelf.
Compared to where the Primal Secret Manuals was stored, there are fewer books on this bookshelf, just a few scattered around.
"Is it also Primal Magic?" Leon asked.
Claudia shook her head. "As I said before, your current constitution isn't suitable for using Primal Magic; it would be a losing proposition. What I want to give you... is this."
As she spoke, Claudia reached out, took an ancient book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Leon.
Leon took it with both hands and looked down at it.
The cover of the ancient book was very simple, a black cover with the title simply embossed in gold foil.
"Extrasensory perception?"
Leon scratched his forehead and flipped through the ancient book, but apart from the title, he didn't see any other information on the packaging, not even the type of magic.
Books like "The Gate of Nine Hells" will have a label on the cover indicating that they are martial arts-type books.
But this one doesn't have it.
"Is it a detection-type magic?" Leon asked.
Back in the Dragon Slaying Academy, these aspiring Dragon Slayer Army all had to learn some detection magic.
Despite having dedicated search teams, those with some detection magic skills can also play a role on the battlefield.
However, Leon never honed his skills in this support-oriented type of magic.
If you encounter an enemy, just push them through. While you have time to scout, General Leon is already sitting on the Dragon King's corpse drinking tea.
"It's not a detection magic."
Claudia said, "Strictly speaking, 'extrasensory perception' is a type of physical skill."
Upon hearing this, Leon paused slightly, a hint of disappointment in his voice, "Another physical combat technique..."
The reason for the disappointment is that Leon is no longer in the same 'short, weak, and listless' state as before.
With two Dragon Mark, he has stored even more Magic Power than he did at his peak, which is enough for him to roam freely as a dragon in any battle.
The physical technique 'Gate of Nine Hells' simply gives Leon another fighting style to choose from.
In fact, if he had enough Magic Power reserves, he could have easily wreaked havoc with his devastating Lightning magic.
Moreover, the Gate of Nine Hells a great burden on the body.
In the final battle of the Empire, Leon opened the Ninth Gate. If it weren't for the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale that Losweiser transplanted into him, his heart would probably have been shattered into pieces by the backlash of the power.
Don't be too quick to be disappointed.
Claudia smiled slightly, "'Super Senses' is classified as 'physical skills,' but its enhancement to the user goes far beyond just physical strength."
Leon raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Senior, please explain in detail."
"Let me ask you, Leon, the normal combat logic is that after the enemy attacks you, your eyes see it first, then the signal is transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, the brain then reacts, and finally gives the body the command to choose whether to defend or dodge, right?"
Leon thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's right, that's how it is."
"The faster a person reacts, the more likely they are to make the right decisions in a crisis and choose the best way to fight back."
Claudia continued,
"And you do a great job in this regard. You possess super offensive magic and have excellent real-time analysis skills for the battle situation. You can always use the moves that are most suitable for the current situation."
"But--"
As soon as the word "but" was uttered, Leon immediately became extremely attentive.
"You'll get tired."
Leon was taken aback. "Tired?"
"Yes. Even if your abilities are all very strong, physical strength has its limits. Not only you, but no creature on the Samael Continent has unlimited physical strength."
"The longer the battle drags on, the more tired the body will become, and the slower the reaction speed will be."
"And 'extrasensory perception' is a secret technique created by our predecessors to overcome this."
Leon took a slow breath and then slowly exhaled. "So 'supersensory perception' can help me surpass my physical limits?"
"That's so boring, I'm not going to give you such a boring secret."
The beautiful woman smiled confidently, "'Supersensory' will take your body to a completely new realm."
"A completely new realm?"
"I wonder if you've ever had this experience: while eating, you accidentally bump into the edge of the table and the cup falls. At that moment, your brain doesn't have time to think, but your body reacts immediately and reaches out to catch the cup before it breaks."
Leon thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes, I have."
"Well, so 'super-sensory' is about turning these 'accidents' into combat techniques."
After giving examples, Claudia began to formally explain the effects of the extrasensory perception.
"As your cultivation deepens, all your senses will become extremely acute. Once you have fully mastered extrasensory perception, your body will automatically take evasive action when faced with a sudden attack from an enemy, without your brain needing to issue commands."
Leon blinked. "Really... really that amazing?"
Compared to various mysterious Primal Magic, the effects of extrasensory perception don't sound very impressive at first glance.
But the key point is what kind of people use extrasensory perception.
If you let someone with no fighting ability use it, then even if they dodge the enemy's attack, it won't change the course of the battle.
But if it's Leon...
Imagine this: the enemy has meticulously planned a sneak attack, thinking it's about to succeed, only to have Leon effortlessly evade it—
If you can't hit Leon in one move, you're in for a lot of trouble!
So, the scenario will probably be like this:
General Leon walked into the trap;
General Leon was completely unaware;
General Leon has already found a way to die;
General Leon, prepare to die!
General Leon delivered his victory speech.
Enemy: 666, this one is good, clicked.
"Yes. But the training of extrasensory perception is extremely difficult, much more difficult than the Gate of Nine Hells. Its the Only One advantage is that once mastered, it will be like muscle memory, and you won't need to use it actively."
"You know, senior, I'm not afraid of difficulties at all."
That's true.
Leon's success today isn't solely due to talent; it's also a result of his past hellish efforts.
And the master's big hammer.
Therefore, he is determined to learn skills like 'extrasensory perception'.
"But why did you say that Sense8 is suitable for me, senior?"
"A reckless brute with maxed-out evasion skills, just thinking about it is terrifying, isn't it?"
"I understand, senior. You think I'm a reckless fool."
"Yes, you are very smart."
"Well, I'm a brute with a brain too!"
Claudia smiled knowingly. "Alright, you've gotten a lot out of me again. Think about how you're going to repay this favor later."
"I won't forget, senior."
The beautiful woman nodded. "Let's go see your master and mistress again."
"Good."
The two left the library.
Leon was carrying three secret manuals.
The two books in his left hand are "Volcanic Flame" and "Heart Fire" for Lao Kang, while the one in his right hand is "Super Senses," which he will be studying next.
If General Leon hadn't been so reluctant to refuse, he would have helped his wife get some new cheat codes too.
Well, what can I do? Leon 'Casmod just naturally too embarrassed to bother others.
This is all thanks to my extremely high personal qualities and moral bottom line;
Who would eat and take things as soon as they arrive at a relative's house?
That would be utterly disgraceful!
As he was secretly praising himself, he heard Claudia talking to a Dragon Maid in front of him.
"Zi, go to the Herb Room and get me a stalk of Nether Lotus Herb."
"Yes, Your Princess."
Nether Lotus Herb.
Leon paused, swallowing hard as a memory from the past suddenly surfaced.
He knew it!
When Constantine mentioned the Nether Lotus Herb, he felt that he must have heard the name somewhere before.
It turns out that when Master was severely injured in the heart by the Knife Trio and came to Claudia for treatment, she used a kind of herb on him.
Claudia even had Leon fetch the Nether Lotus Herb from her Medicine Box for her!
Leon pursed his lips.
Hiss~~
On the other hand, although I have extremely high personal qualities and moral standards...
But the bottom line is all about flexibility!
"Um... senpai?"
"Um?"
