"Huhuhahe----"
Fang Xiaoxia, who was successfully promoted, now feels the full strength in his body and the spirituality of Su Xing. It is extremely novel, and the whole person is extremely excited.
For such a long time, the fragments of Demon's power, as well as the power brought by the swallowed ghost assistant, have accumulated in Maiden's body like excess nutrients from indigestion.
At this moment, the moment Maiden set foot on Extraordinary Path, these nutrients finally had room to be digested. They only accumulated a little, and then washed away Maiden's body over and over again.
In a short ten minutes, Fang Xiaoxia changed his muscles and washed his marrow countless times. His muscles and bones had reached the peak of "body" and was stuck on the threshold of promotion to level 2 "heart".
It's a pity that Maiden's understanding of "heart" is still lacking, and it still needs time to settle down. There is no way to jump over it in one go based on the previous accumulation.
Despite this, Maiden, who reached the peak of his body in one breath, had more than doubled his strength.
The novel feeling of having overwhelming power and nowhere to vent made Fang Xiaoxia feel that he could kill a cow with one punch, and even go to North Pole to kill an adult North Pole bear - but before that, Maiden probably couldn't beat Penguin who only knew how to coo and quack.
"Hoo!"
Xiao Fang, even did two backflips in excitement.
Crow just looked at Xiao Fang, who had just become a New Student Hunter, and felt pleased to himself, as if he saw his mother skating on a skateboard with a novel look on his child's face, and more or less saw himself in those complicated eyes.
----Although, such joy appears on a face like Crow's that is more childish than Fang Xiaoxia Maiden, and it seems a bit weird and inconsistent.
On the other side, Bai Zhou was concentrating on savoring the surprise he had just received.
Combined-Strike Secret Technique,[Heart-Twining Devour]?
"What do you think--this name is a bit spooky?"
Bai Zhou was murmuring in his heart.
"[Fallen Saint Physician] is in this form - is he going to never return to the style of a wanted criminal like Master Seven Sins Institute?"
This is the first time Bai Zhou has come into contact with the so-called Combined-Strike Secret Technique. Even Yadu said that in Mystic World, Combined-Strike Secret Technique is just a legend most of the time.
"The so-called Combined-Strike Secret Technique means that two or more people, through spiritual resonance, synchronization of will, and complementary movements, superimpose their respective powers on each other, and you and I gain, layer by layer, forming a terrifying offensive that far exceeds the limit of a single person. It often has the power to turn decay into magic."
"Legend, the predecessor of the [Sword Bearer] unit, the first-generation chief instructor of the [Resetters] team directly under [Reset Pact], once served in Tianjing I watched the fragments of a certain Combined-Strike Secret Technique, and after I came back, I thought hard about it and created a combined attack and coordinated strategy based on it, which can be used to defeat more and less, leapfrogging extraordinary people and even Destined One."
"Later, Federation was established and [Reset Pact] was split. This set of combined attack synergies that once belonged exclusively to [Resetters] in Tinghai gradually spread and became the source of all combined attack tactics in Tinghai."
"----Black Warrior, Nine Dragons of the Luo Family of Major Luo, and the Iron Thorn troops of Purple Thorn Group that you met back then, all have shadows of this aspect, but they are all much weaker in comparison."
Crow shook his head and said, "I have even heard that within some ancient schools, the upgraded version of Combined-Strike Secret Technique, Combined Destiny Contract or even higher, is the secret of the school that will never be spread to the outside world. It is the key to their ability to remain calm in the passage of time and not be overwhelmed by the power of time!"
--So, I'm curious!"
Crow's eyes flashed suddenly, and his burning gaze fell on Bai Zhou: "This Combined-Strike Secret Technique you have obtained, what kind of power and effect does it have?"
"I'm thinking about it too----" Bai Zhou was savoring this set of Combined-Strike Secret Technique, and Fang Xiaoxia on the side was doing the same.
If separated separately, the one in Bai Zhou's hand and the one in Fang Xiaoxia's hand are basically two independent and normal sets of secret skills.
The secret techniques they hold are similar in style but completely different in content. In some places, they are even completely opposite. However, when the two of them imitate and communicate with each other, they find that they can make up for each other's shortcomings and have an extraordinarily strange connection with each other.
In other words, the two secret skills must be used separately and then combined into one to form the real Combined-Strike Secret Technique.
As for power and effects----
Bai Zhou's eyes blinked twice.
This set of Combined-Strike Secret Technique was born between two people. Combining the strengths of the two, it can form countless invisible chains, which are strange and difficult to prevent and pervasive. At least you need Mind's Eye instinct or related secret skills to detect them.
For those whose life level is weaker than Bai Zhou, this set of secret techniques can even directly wrap around the target's heart.
Moreover, once the entanglement is successful, this secret technique can be said to be impossible to break free. The more the target struggles, the tighter the chain will be. The more it resists, the deeper the bite of the chain will be!
Once the giant network constructed by chains is completely formed, its power cannot be measured by Ordinary's secret skills. It is equivalent to Bai Zhou mastering and successfully executing a set of Destiny Contract that can only be mastered by Lifeforger at level 6. Its power is inestimable. It can be called lawless and invincible in the level 6 range!
Even----
Bai Zhou was thinking in his heart, even if he faced Lifeforger with zero life, he might not be incapable of fighting!
"However, it still requires skill and tacit understanding."
Bai Zhou saw the threshold of this set of secret skills, "Combined-Strike Secret Technique, the key point is the tacit cooperation between the two."
"Although, this set of secret techniques can avoid the restrictions on the body, mind, energy, spirit and spirit when I am the main one and Fang Xiaoxia is the assistant-"
"As a derivative of Forbidden Canon, it also ignores the path and does not need to occupy the position of Destiny----"
Bai Zhou's expression is very solemn:
But in fact, it is still a set of top-notch secret skills that contains the six elements. Even if it is only an auxiliary chapter, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky for the current Fang Xiaoxia."
"I need time to get familiar with this set of secret techniques, and Fang Xiaoxia needs time to get started with this set of secret techniques."
"As for the tacit understanding between the two of us——"
As he said that, Bai Zhou had a strange expression.
Tacit understanding----?
Is there really such a thing between him and Fang Xiaoxia?
"Yes, there will be."
, all these can be exercised!"
Crow's expression became serious, "How can there be no tacit understanding between Doctor, a comrade who has experienced life and death together, and his assistant?"
"Besides, you should be able to feel it too——" Crow's voice slowly sounded in Bai Zhou's heart.
"In the current state, there is a special connection between you and Fang Xiaoxia."
"Special contact----?"
Bai Zhou frowned.
It seems there is.
Ever since Fang Xiaoxia temporarily took over the identity of the ghost, this connection at the Mysticism level has already existed, and you can vaguely feel the other person's life status.
"This is----"
With the help of this special connection, Bai Zhou suddenly seemed to have touched something, as if he had mastered some kind of switch. The essence of Combined-Strike Secret Technique was flowing by itself in the depths of his mind at this moment, and the spirituality in Bai Zhou's body even spontaneously operated along the direction of the secret technique.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, Fang Xiaoxia's body also produced some kind of special reaction, and a few spiritual forces started to operate.
The air suddenly became cold, as if there were low whispers ringing in the ears of the three of them. The invisible chain was about to be formed, but it was still a little short of...
"As expected!" Crow said with a stern expression, "You have a shortcut!"
Shortcut?
Bai Zhou feels this special connection, agrees with this statement and is thoughtful at the same time.
"This kind of connection should have been exclusive between [Fallen Saint Physician] and the ghost assistant."
"But Fang Xiaoxia is very special. As her destiny Demon Hunter, and her Blood Shadow as a fragment of Demon's power, she has some innate special ability - that is, after swallowing the rogue, she can temporarily replace its person at the Mysticism level."
"--This also includes this special connection."
Crow said, "In fact, by the same token, your set of secret skills should have been exclusive to [Fallen Saint Physician] and his unconscious ghost assistant."
"That's why I say that these thresholds are not a problem and you should be content - because normally, the reason why Combined-Strike Secret Technique is extremely rare in reality is because they place great demands on learners and are incredibly difficult!"
"This has nothing to do with the difficulty of learning the skills, but rather lies in the tacit understanding and trust, that is, when you make a move, you must completely trust that your companion will make up for your flaws, and when you withdraw your move, you must be sure that your companion will not hold back, and even more difficult things."
"Life and death support is far from enough to describe this kind of tacit understanding. It must be 100% connected. Two people are like one person, and there is absolutely no selfishness or distinction!"
But, how is it possible for a living person to do this?"
Crow shook his head, and then looked at Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia seriously, "But you two are different, because [Fallen Saint Physician] and the ghost have a shortcut - now it seems that this set of Combined-Strike Secret Technique is actually the hidden ability of the [Fallen Saint Physician] form that needs to be developed!"
Crow's eyes flickered, his expression thoughtful. "In my opinion, after you are promoted to Lifeforger, the forms of your Thousand-Faced Moon will also undergo corresponding transformations - and the corresponding transformation of [Fallen Saint Physician] should be this Combined-Strike Secret Technique that is comparable to Destiny Contract."
"It's just that Fang Xiaoxia is too special. The demon can't be upgraded, but Fang Xiaoxia can. Moreover, it possesses some of the characteristics of Demon, and its essence is noble and noble. This causes your [Fallen Saint Physician] form to undergo transformation in advance after Fang Xiaoxia is promoted."
Crow answered Bai Zhou's doubts, "In other words, with the help of the special connection between the doctor and the ghost assistant, you don't even need that level of tacit understanding and trust. You only need the normal tacit understanding of comrades in the Sword Bearer army to use Combined-Strike Secret Technique!"
"This is completely trainable and predictable, and can even be achieved in advance under the stimulation of certain special occasions.
Crow's eyes flickered twice, "For example, when Demon almost killed you, and Fang Xiaoxia lent his power to you - the trust and tacit understanding between you were definitely far beyond the minimum threshold at that time!"
As he said that, Ya Ya felt a little emotional. "In the final analysis, these are all derivatives of <Dead Sea Scrolls> Thousand-Faced Moon. A complete set of secret volume level Forbidden Canon is really mysterious."
"Forbidden Canon can even give birth to something as rare as Combined-Strike Secret Technique."
"It's hard to tell whether the final result of this matter is because Forbidden Canon is so powerful, or because you always surprise people, or because of the special power of Fang Xiaoxia Demon----"
Hearing this, Bai Zhou thought about it for a moment, and answered from the bottom of his heart through Heart-to-Heart Connection's Ritual: "In fact, in my opinion, after you have said so much, you should have realized——"
"A little adds up, and each one is a little bit more special than others. Perhaps that's the key to the problem."
"Perhaps, every element is indispensable to achieve today's results in the end."
If it's not Bai Zhou, what will happen to someone else's [Thousand-Faced Moon]?
Anyway, it won't be [Fallen Saint Physician].
And if there is no Fang Xiaoxia, there is a high probability that there will be no Combined-Strike Secret Technique[Heart-Twining Devour].
"You are right. It is the experiences along the way that create the final form of Adventurer. Adventurer who has not experienced enough adventures will always be just a child."
Crow said, "From this perspective, your answer looks more and more like a real Adventurer."
"Of course, I mean--
Crow's eyebrows raised slightly. "The kind that can pull out Sacred Sword."
--That's called Brave One!
Bai Zhou rolled his eyes.
Adventurer and Brave One are not the same thing. Although Bai Zhou quite doubts that Adventurer Path will have a stage in the future called [Brave One]----but at least for now, he is still far from qualified.
Please note that when you pull out Sacred Sword, it means that the happy and exciting adventure of Brave One is coming to an end.
The next step is to face the Demon King in Demon King City----
Thank you for the invitation, Bai Zhou is not interested in this aspect at the moment.
In fact, it's quite the opposite. He is about to go to the Demon King's City to take up a position as an important cadre and personally control the demons----
Carry out the so-called coronation of the Seventh Sin Court!
At this moment, he even had another reason to go to Seven Sins Institute.
Explore everything about your ex [Sloth], try to find some clues about Hunter, and then follow the pictures to find information about the whereabouts of her daughter.
This is important.
After all, Bai Zhou doesn't feel that he has any need to use "Sinner's Nail" in the future.
"Wow----"
After cleaning up all the traces left by the two of them, Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia left the empty Safe House.
First, it is really empty, because everything inside has been moved away by Bai Zhou.
In order to avoid missing any good things, Bai Zhou didn't even miss the closet inside and moved them all away.
In Fang Xiaoxia's weird and unsurprising gaze, Bai Zhou looked like a fat blue man who could take out a Great Door from his stomach and just stuffed the nearly two-meter-high closet into his arms----
The broad-minded Adventurer and the reborn New Student female Hunter came to the smelly sewers together, walked through the smelly ditches and rusty old ladders, and returned to the distinctive style Lower City.
--
Although even the air here has a strange smell of industrial pollution, but----
"At least it's much fresher than the sewer pipes." Bai Zhou shook his head and set off with Fang Xiaoxia.
After being delayed for more than half an hour underground, I'm afraid [Paroxetine] they are about to solve their respective problems and meet up with me----
So without stopping, Bai Zhou led Maiden over the rooftops.
"Oh my God----"
Suddenly discovering that he could jump across the distance between two building rooftops by standing long jump, Fang Xiaoxia, who was both frightened and novel, looked at his hands and legs in disbelief.
"Is this still me?"
She ran, she spun, she jumped, her figure rose and fell in the night, moving with vigor and agility.
During this process, Fang Xiaoxia gradually adapted to the changes in his body.
"Wow----"
However, not long after, Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia heard a commotion. As they hurried on, they seemed to have accidentally stumbled into some shady secrets.
This is an abandoned open-air parking lot, surrounded by faded tarpaulins with various chemical fertilizers GG printed on them, and they were blown by the wind.
Under the dark and faded tarpaulin, next to several jeeps that looked like land beasts, dozens of young men and women in strange clothes and fierce looks stood tightly around a few boxes, holding firearms and being on guard.
"Ka! Ka Ka Ka----"
The reflective black firearms are arranged neatly in the wooden box.
The leader on the other side opened several suitcases filled with banknotes and iron boxes filled with rows of medicines.
Upon seeing this, both parties showed expressions of satisfaction.
Obvious.
They are making some kind of deal!
"Stop ahead! Spark Society is trading."
At the same time, someone blocked the way of Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia on the roof of the building.
Maiden, who has twin ponytails, looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, clearly still a child. Her hair is dyed a bright green mixed with pink, which reminds people of the neon lights of Lower City.
When Bai Zhou just came over, she was facing away from Lower City's dazzling sea of bright neon lights, sitting on the railing on the roof of the building in a dangerous posture, with one foot dangling below and the other foot stepping on the horizontal bar of the railing, overlooking everything in the parking lot below.
The wind blew from afar, blowing into the ill-fitting military jacket she wore, causing the hems to fly in the wind.
It seems that she should be a sentry to follow the transactions below. She is sitting in the corner and has no sense of presence. She has a telescope on her chest and sits on the roof of the building looking forward to it.
At this moment, he saw the strong figures of Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia climbing over the roofs of buildings. Maiden immediately turned over from the railing and looked at these two uninvited guests from afar with vigilant and fearful eyes.
"It seems that we came at the wrong time——" Bai Zhou's eyes blinked twice.
But if his calculation of the distance was correct, this area should be the place where he and [Paroxetine] and others made an appointment to meet.
So, in fact, these traders are the uninvited visitors?
"Spark Society----?"
Bai Zhou looked at the appearance of the little girl in front of him.
The ponytail girl looks a little malnourished, which shows that the so-called association that employs child labor seems to be unscrupulous enough and does not even provide a full meal.
But, if what Bai Zhou senses is right----
This girl is extraordinary!
The realm of Bai Zhou quietly opened, and some kind of "heart" power was sensed in the little girl.
This shows that the opponent is level 2 Professionist. Among extraordinary people who are not Authorities, are not rich, and do not come from a major power, this kind of strength is already quite impressive.
So, Spark Society is a certain extraordinary force of Lower City?
Bai Zhou was thinking about it when an alarm suddenly sounded on Maiden's body in front of him, as if he sensed something.
"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
"Blackstone is coming! Blackstone is coming!"
It was obviously made specifically for someone. The alarm with Ritual's traces on it sent a strange reminder. The inexplicable content in it made the sentry Maiden's face suddenly change.
"Blackstone----What is it?" Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia looked at each other.
"You shouldn't be talking about us?"
Immediately afterwards, the girl with twin tails in front of her suddenly turned around, took out a whistle from her trouser pocket, leaned over the railing as hard as she could, and whistled toward the parking lot downstairs. "Di! Di di di di"
The whistle blew for a long time, passing like a ghost in the sky above the parking lot late at night.
"Blackstone! Get out!"
She shouted loudly, and then the people who were trading below seemed to have heard some extremely terrifying name, and their expressions all became extremely ugly.
"Damn it, why is Blackstone Witch here!"
"There is no information today that she is coming to Lower City, right?"
"Are you chasing someone here and happened to pass by us?"
"Damn----it shouldn't be so unlucky, right?!"
These majestic young men and women with loaded guns and tattoos on their faces, when they heard the name "Blackstone", they seemed to have seen some Flood beast. They became visibly panicked and even looked a little bit----
Helpless?
The noisy wind carried the voices of these gun-toting thugs to the top of the building, and the mixed words among them were caught by Bai Zhou's ears.
"----Is there something wrong?" Bai Zhou's expression became vaguely weird.
Not only him, but also Fang Xiaoxia.
Because he and Fang Xiaoxia both heard a lot of things that were both strange and inexplicably familiar----
The guy who makes them fearful, helpless, and even allergic to nerve reflexes has been given many terrifying titles in the mouths of thugs like Lower City: "The Executioner Who Burns Everything," "The Mad Woman Who Tramples Order," "The Untouchable Avenger," "The Predator of Talents," "Harbinger of Calamity"----
The urban legend of Lower City, the number one mortal enemy of countless Lower City underworld forces - they call her----
Black----
One[Blackstone Witch]!
The sound of Grappling Hook, which frightened the thugs below and made Bai Zhou inexplicably familiar, struck through the air under the moonlight.
Then, under the extremely strange distant gazes of Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoxia, and under the panic of Maiden in front of them and a group of gun-wielding thugs in the parking lot below——
Mysterious Maiden, who is covered in a mask and a dress, has a cloak and a belt inlaid with gems around his waist, roaring and shouting "Celebrate, come through the sky."
The woman Lower City calls the great terror [Blackstone Witch] is here!
"Is that what Lower City originally called her?" Bai Zhou couldn't help but whisper.
"She never said that she was - uh, so popular in Lower City."
Blackstone Witch?
Isn't this basically----Miss Gem Witch?
