Physique Upgrade: Explosive Muscles and Iron Body!
"Perception: You sense that the soon-to-awaken beluga whale seems very interested in your body..."
"Observation: You noticed the beluga whale yawned and then closed its eyes."
"The Astral White Whale has fallen back into slumber, but her physiological indicators are noticeably more active!"
Platform edge.
Roger wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
The feeling of being stared at by such a colossal beast is truly indescribable in just a few words.
It was a fear that came from the very depths of one's heart!
The overwhelming feeling brought by the colossal size.
Roger's heart was pounding continuously.
If it weren't for the 100% resilience and Fear Immunity, it would be difficult to withstand.
Roger might have already wet his pants from being stared at!
"We finally managed to fool them..."
Faced with that devastating oppressive force.
Roger had no other choice.
And the moment the beluga whale closes its eyes.
He couldn't wait to open "Ultimate Hunter"! (Marked)
That Fallen Divine Art Master was already dozens of miles away in the airspace!
At that time.
Roger didn't say a word.
He pulled Griffith directly from the back of the cargo box.
Then he stepped on him!
"Help me woo someone!"
"Don't ask any more questions!"
"I know you can fly!"
Perhaps they sensed the urgency in Roger's voice.
Griffith, unusually, didn't say much.
In a flash.
The holy sword transformed into a stream of light and disappeared at the edge of the platform.
This guy started up way too wildly.
Roger nearly stumbled and fell.
but.
It was, after all, once the Life Sword.
Roger quickly adapted to Griffith's size and speed.
A lone figure with a sword passionately traversed the sky beneath the stars.
The Injured Wolf loyally followed Roger.
They provided Roger with directions to follow at all times.
It was precisely because of the guidance of these wolf cubs.
Even though the traces in the Above the Sky are so sparse.
Roger still managed to pinpoint the Fallen Divine Art Master's escape route!...
"Over here!"
"Faster!"
Roger gave the order.
Griffith muttered, "That's already the fastest speed!"
Roger nodded.
As the distance between the two sides continues to close.
The red dot marking the hunter in the field of vision became increasingly clear.
He silently pulled a large, deadly weapon from his Tinder Pouch.
Then I stared intently at the data column.
"Ultimate Hunter: Target distance 33KM..."
"31KM..."
"29KM..."
When the target enters the 30-kilometer range.
Roger lowered his center of gravity.
He aimed the Little Firebird at the target that had already been locked on in the distance.
The Extermination Order had already been issued.
With his shooting skills.
Even though it is not within the range where True Sight is fully effective.
He was also 80% confident of hitting Johnny's vitals! Therefore.
Roger silently began to aim.
Griffith also subconsciously slowed down.
However, at this very moment...
Roger suddenly put away the "Little Firebird".
"Closer."
He said in a deep voice:
"Ideally, we should be able to catch up to within 10 kilometers."
Griffith wondered, "Wouldn't that alert them?"
"Furthermore, we will soon be approaching the Aerospace Barrier, and the space environment may become unstable in the coming period..."
Roger calmly said:
"Just fly with confidence."
"I'll figure out the rest."
Whoosh! The holy sword flew downwards with unstoppable momentum.
"Vilan was right after all. That sword, and that Clear Spring Sect Master, they're in cahoots!"
Above the Sky.
A Black Feather Eagle with silver wingtips swiftly swept across the sky.
Its silhouette plummeted downwards like a falling meteor.
Occasionally, it flutters its wings.
A gust of air carried Johnny at high speed toward the surface.
His heart was filled with lingering fear and relief!
If it weren't for listening to Vilan's warning...
He's probably dead by now!
Just like Othello and Monroe! In fact.
The moment Vilan announced the retreat.
Johnny was left behind only as an illusion.
His true form had long since transformed into a Snow Eagle and escaped.
That is precisely why.
He was able to witness firsthand the horrific scene of the Celestial Dog Devour the Sun.
The entire platform.
Tens of thousands of Black Blood Soldier!
Such a large army.
It was devoured in one bite!
This is absolutely insane! For an honest and law-abiding Fallen Divine Art Master like Johnny, this is incredible.
This scene was completely beyond his comprehension.
He usually just followed behind Vilan and did evil things like skinning people and eating flesh.
Where have I ever seen such a scene of eating without any hesitation, whether it's meat or vegetables?
Therefore.
His heart was filled with fear.
"Martial Artist are truly terrifying..."
Just thinking about what had just happened...
Johnny's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately.
He escaped.
Ahead lies the "Aerospace Barrier".
He knew he had enemy tracking marks on him.
But once inside the Aerospace Barrier...
The chaotic spatial laws there would negate the effect of the tracking markers.
His chances of survival would increase dramatically!...
"Must..."
"We must hold out until the Aerospace Barrier!"
"I haven't lived enough yet. I haven't even had a chance to eat the human skin canned food that was extracted last time..."
One crazy idea after another flashed through his mind.
In the darkness.
He felt a faint pain in his back.
Johnny knows.
That's the feeling of being targeted.
Do Martial Artist also use guns?
"He's just as insidious as Vilan!"
"Such a fast pursuit speed... Hmm... No shots fired, is it because they're not even within range yet?"
The Snow Eagle flapped its wings and fled.
They were silently calculating the distance between them.
We've reached this position.
Both sides can see each other's outlines.
Johnny saw Roger carrying an extremely crude firearm.
And they made no attempt to hide their aim at themselves.
He hated the feeling of being targeted.
But he knew very well.
I am now indeed the prey.
I want to turn things around.
The premise was that he could survive this time! So he just kept his head down and swooped down.
It was as if he hadn't seen the gunman behind him at all.
The distance between the two sides is gradually closing.
The Aerospace Barrier below was also rapidly appearing in Johnny's field of vision.
"15 kilometers..."
"12 kilometers... aren't you going to shoot yet?"
"9 kilometers... His firearms have such a short range?"
Johnny calmly calculated.
But in my heart, I felt even more delighted.
Because the Aerospace Barrier is not far away.
If nothing unexpected happens.
He'll be able to escape this time! That's what he was thinking.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest!
A blinding silver light exploded there.
Whoosh.
Half of Snow Eagle's body was shattered by the brutal attack of that firearm!
The remaining half of the body fell freely in the wind.
After a short rest.
The gunshots could be heard from afar.
The remains of the Snow Eagle spun wildly in the air.
A large amount of blood gushed out from that half of the body.
The next second.
All the blood seemed to be on fire.
They kept burning outwards.
final.
The severed half of his body turned into a ball of flames.
Like a shooting star, it fled towards the Aerospace Barrier not far away!
That speed.
It was even faster than Griffith's flight speed! Roger saw it clearly.
Within that ball of blood-red flames.
It was wrapped around a man who was curled up.
The man was none other than the Fallen Divine Art Master Johnny!
"Is it Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell?"
Roger thought to himself.
It seemed to sense Roger's gaze.
Johnny glanced back again.
He grinned at Roger.
A low voice clearly reached Roger's ears:
"I know that firearms have a long cooldown time! It's impossible for a firearm to fire a second shot in a short period of time!"
"I also know your range is only 9 kilometers..."
"I also know you might be hiding your true range, but what's the point? You'll be unable to find me soon..."
"You'll remember this..."
The sounds had not yet finished spreading.
Johnny's face changed from the joy of surviving a disaster to deep fear!
Because he was shocked to see it.
Above the Holy Sword.
Roger actually put away the two-meter-long murder weapon he had used earlier.
Then he pulled out an even thicker and longer spear! "No!"
Johnny let out a strange cry.
The flames surrounding him burned even more fiercely.
"Evil Curse: Blood Fuel!"...
Whoosh! The flames carrying the remains of the Snow Eagle flew extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye.
The distance between the two sides was increased to more than 20 kilometers!
We've reached this position.
Johnny felt a little safer.
Below.
The Aerospace Barrier, which could potentially cause spatial turbulence, is less than 1 kilometer away! "I still have..."
The word "opportunity" has yet to be used.
The brutal light prisms were already tearing through the air.
At the same time, it tore him to pieces from a distance of 20 kilometers! The white light faded.
The scenery Above the Sky was peaceful and serene.
Only a few feathers remained, drifting slowly down.
"Log: You used 'Aura' to kill Johnny (Snow Eagle Form)"
"Johnny is back to life..."
"Log: You used ' Little Firebird ' to kill Johnny (Fallen Divine Art Master / Resurrection State / Blood Fuel /LV79/Elite)"
"You have acquired Johnny's special ability - Fallen Arc Light"
"The Fallen Arc Light: Every dawn, seven arcs of light will rise behind you."
These seven arcs of light represent "gluttony," "greed," "sloth," "envy," "pride," "lust," and "wrath," respectively.
You can send these arcs of light to other people in a covert way.
This causes the goal to continuously decline in the predetermined direction.
Note: This skill can be bestowed upon servants.
"The devil is quite suited to tempting people to depravity."
"But it's clearly not suitable for me!"
Roger thought about it for a moment.
He certainly wouldn't do that dirty work himself.
As for the devils under his command...
Sonsonia is useless and can be eliminated immediately.
Diana was a war maniac, and given her Hero Template, she probably wouldn't even consider it.
Hades is probably the only one who used it well.
At this point...
Roger suddenly realized that he lacked a shrewd and adept leader among his men.
There are no suitable candidates to be trained for using seduction techniques.
He was used to making clean cuts.
I gradually stopped wanting to get involved in many messy and unpleasant things.
But you might need it in the future.
"We can only start by training Hades."
"After that, it would be best to gather a bunch of Succubus or lustful demons. Although I myself am upright and honest, there are always shadows in this world..."
I pulled myself back to reality.
Roger noticed a flash of purple light where the Snow Eagle had fallen.
The purple light flashed and then disappeared.
It's difficult for ordinary people to notice.
"Hint: You have discovered ' Vilan's Human Skin Pocket '..."
"Let's go."
Roger gave a soft snort.
I patted the Holy Sword as I went.
I never expected Vilan's arms to be so long.
They were able to come all this way to collect the body.
If it weren't for Roger's quick thinking...
First, use "Aura" to deliver a shot that paralyzes the target at close range.
Then, let's use "Little Firebird" to seal the deal.
Who knows, Johnny might actually get away!
Now is not the time to get entangled with Vilan.
so.
Roger simply pretended not to see it.
I chose to go back directly.
Vilan didn't seem to want to get involved.
The human skin pouch took away the Fallen Divine Art Master's spoils.
It never appeared again.
On the way back.
Roger focused his attention on the Ascension Mission.
After killing Johnny.
The Ascension Mission are basically all completed.
Only one item, "The Last Celestial God Apostle," remains unprocessed in the list.
Meanwhile, attribute fragments have also been further accumulated.
The data is displayed in the data column.
"1. Constitution Shard *32872..."
2. Talent Shards * 20501...
3. Empathy Shard * 13490
"Notice: You have selected to redeem all!"
"You have gained 32 points in Physique, 20 points in Talent, and 13 points in Sympathy."
"It's still not enough!"
Roger sighed softly.
But it's not enough.
The dots still need to be added.
First is the physical fitness section.
Because the strength is full, Root Bone has not yet emerged.
Roger simply maxed out his physical abilities!
"Notification: You have consumed 15 points of Constitution."
"Ascension Road: Your Constitution has reached 25 points, you have completed your Attribute Ascension!"
"You have gained authority: Constitution (Click to view details)"
"You have gained the Ascension Constitution bonus feat - Perfect Body"
"Perfect Body: In combat, an enemy needs to break through your defense twice in a row to deal damage to you;
In life.
All your social skills +200
"Ascension Road: You have gained the additional perk granted by the Constitution Authority - Explosive Muscle Hard Body".
"Explosive Muscle Hard Body: When this feat is activated, you will gain 80% full Damage Reduction and launch an uncontrolled 'ramming' or 'reckless act' in any direction."
The person you bump into will be assessed as dizzy and impacted.
People with lower physical strength and resilience could be killed by your collision;...
Note 1: Can be used a maximum of 3 times per day.
Note 2: The upper body must be exposed when activating the feat, otherwise the effect will be halved.
Note 3: If the lower body is exposed when activating the feat, a higher impact power bonus will be obtained.
Note 4: When calculating ' Ten Years One Sword ', a single collision is counted as one move.
Note 5: Please prepare extra clothing and sturdy underwear.
"Ah, this..."
"Have you finally become Peerless Tough Guy?"
Roger felt a lump in his throat.
A long time ago.
His physical condition was once his weakness.
And now.
This weakness has now become his greatest strength! 25 points in physique!
25 points of power!
This terrifying attribute.
He was undoubtedly a monster! Not to mention Roger also had the added bonuses of Qi and numerous special skills!
If this were activated with "Explosive Muscle Hard Body" and it just crashed around everywhere...
Roger felt that even the demolition crew couldn't beat him by crashing into things!
As for humans or monsters.
They can only silently savor that trembling feeling that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
Gently stroking her own body with her hands.
Roger finally felt like he was 'super powerful'!
"Your constitution and strength have reached a balance, and your specialization ' Physique Balance ' has undergone a slight change."
"Physique Balance: Your strength, constitution, and Root Bone can be freely converted (Root Bone is not yet available), cooldown period of 1 month"
"What a pity, that once divine skill is now of little use."
See here.
Roger was slightly disappointed.
But then I thought about it again.
Once the Root Bone has opened up.
Who knows, there might still be a chance for this specialty to shine.
The next moment.
He then turned his attention to the specialty that had initially been promoted to a reward.
"This ' Perfect Body ' seems rather ordinary based on the description."
"In terms of combat, it's like having an extra perfect parry... It's alright, but what's with the maxed-out social aspect?"
"With a figure like this, do I still need to socialize?"
Roger couldn't help but complain in his mind.
In general.
The benefits of improved physical fitness are readily apparent.
Look at him now.
Who could have imagined what it was like when I first left Tongma Town more than 30 years ago?
He's still a little cripple who can't even put together a hexagon properly.
"All I can say is..."
"Heaven rewards diligence!"
This thought came to mind.
Roger quickly focused his gaze on the other attribute panels.
"Notification: You have consumed 9 points of talent."
"Ascension Road: Your Comprehension has reached 25 points, you have completed your Attribute Ascension!"
"You have gained authority: Comprehension (Click to view details)"
"You have gained the Ascension Comprehension Reward Feat - Transfer Star Shift"
"Transfer Star Shift: Once activated, this feat allows you to return the opponent's moves, spells, bullets, and even curses to the enemy exactly as they were."
Note: This process will consume a lot of your essence, so please be prepared.
Note 2: The level difference between the target and yourself in the Transfer Star Shift cannot exceed 40 levels.
Note 3: If the martial art returned by the Transfer Star Shift is a martial art, then you will automatically master that martial art.
"Ascension Road: You have gained the additional feat granted by the Comprehension Authority - The Wonderful Words Essential Path"
"The Wonderful Words Essential Path: Each month, you will have one opportunity to 'enlighten' a non-human creature."
The creature being enlightened must accept the enlightenment willingly.
After the initiation was successful.
The person who is enlightened will at least be able to master the Common Language fluently; their intelligence will also be raised to the level of at least an eight-year-old human; in addition to that.
The object being enlightened may also exhibit other human-like tendencies;
Objects that have been enlightened multiple times have a considerable chance of acquiring the ' Sprite Template '; enlightened objects will maintain extremely high loyalty to you.
After Comprehension Ascension.
Roger felt even more at ease.
That moment.
A profound realization seemed to have dawned on him.
But upon closer examination...
Yet it was completely empty.
Unpredictable.
He glanced casually at the data panel.
Okay.
Besides bringing authority and expertise, the Ascension Road also brings other benefits.
They also provided him with six general "Martial Arts Insights"! These Martial Arts Insights can be used to create your own martial arts techniques.
It can also be used to improve existing martial arts.
It can be said to be quite practical.
The benefits brought by the Comprehension Ascension are also very obvious.
Aside from his somewhat esoteric specialty of "Wonderful Words Essential Path".
"Transfer Star Shift" is an incredibly powerful ability.
In Roger's view
This specialization is basically an upgraded version of "An Eye for an Eye"! An Eye for an Eye requires taking damage.
The situation reversed immediately after the Transfer Star Shift!
That's pretty outrageous.
The only thing that made Roger a little uneasy was...
In terms of consumption.
The Transfer Star Shift and the changing of constellations consumed "essence" rather than "vital energy"! This puzzled him.
After all, he has a lot of anger.
It's all about quality, just a little bit.
If you really need too much.
He won't be able to handle it either.
"It shouldn't be too outrageous; it still depends on the strength of the opponent's attack..."
I came to my senses.
Roger silently absorbed his understanding of martial arts.
I don't know if it's because of increased proficiency.
It's still due to the Comprehension Authority.
Roger suddenly realized many flaws in martial arts techniques that he had not noticed in the past.
Thinking this way.
He quickly closed his eyes.
Thousands of martial arts fight scenes have flashed through my mind.
Three seconds later.
All the loopholes have been patched.
Roger slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were full of confidence! Even though he hadn't yet had any real combat experience.
But he knew.
I'm stronger now than before... by more than a little bit!
Especially certain niche martial arts.
He now has a completely new understanding.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one holy sword in front of us right now...
Roger really wanted to find someone to practice on!...
After successfully completing the upgrade in physique and comprehension.
Roger originally wanted to add a few more.
But Griffith had already carried him back to the platform in the Skiff District.
The holy sword urged him on frantically.
Roger could only silently close the data panel.
He went to the transfer station next door and found a group of people to help him collect his spoils.
Griffith plunged headlong into the Checkpoint gates together!...
"It's really too late!"
Griffith ' tone was extremely anxious.
"We could have stalled a little longer, but some idiot fired a shot earlier and almost woke up the beluga whale!"
"Once the beluga whale wakes up, the scavengers will sense it, and we might be in big trouble!"
Upon hearing Roger's decision to go to the moon with him...
He kept talking on and on the way.
Upon hearing this...
Roger glanced at him and said, "I fired the cannon."
Griffith:
"..."
"Well done!"
"Running away won't solve anything. I believe only strong individuals like you, who dare to fire the guns, are qualified to save the world..."
Roger ignored his flattery.
He simply looked calmly ahead.
"Where's the zither?"
Griffith muttered, "I don't know, I didn't do anything to them."
Roger frowned slightly.
He activated his perception ability and searched the area.
However, he couldn't find Qin and Vera's location, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Griffith dismissively said:
"That blonde girl has a problem."
"But your apprentice isn't someone to be trifled with either!"
"How could a druid like her have mastered martial arts to such a high level..."
Roger couldn't help but cough loudly.
Griffith immediately realized something. "I get it!"
"A good teacher produces outstanding students!"
"You must deserve half... no, more than half the credit for Qin's skill!"
"Believe me, Vera poses no threat to Qin!"
As he spoke.
He asked pitifully:
"Can we set off now?"
"As you just saw, the beluga whale has already awakened once. If it does it again, I'm afraid it won't be us going to find the cleaners, but the cleaners coming to find us."
Roger frowned:
"What exactly is a cleaner?"
"Can't you be more specific?"
Griffith panicked:
"If I could say it, why wouldn't I?"
"It..."
"It's just so abstract!"
Roger was utterly speechless.
At present.
He pondered for a moment and cast a divination.
After confirming that Qin was safe and sound.
He then led Griffith back into the "Escape Pod"!
"Hint: You have entered Two-Dimensional World (Moon Simulator)"
"Confirm ' Free Mode ' activation? Note that Free Mode is the same as Reality Mode; your life or death in the Two-Dimensional World may affect your life or death in the Prime Material Plane!"
"Entering space..."
You have acquired UFO*1
"Hint: The UFO is taking off; you are about to head to level 1-1 (Space Orbit /Outpost)."
"Your skills, my awareness, together we're invincible!"
Griffith cheered with joy:
"Let's fight our way through, and make sure we don't skip any checkpoints along the way."
"Only by collecting the relics of each level's boss can you succeed."
"Only then will there be a chance to perfectly defeat the Scavenger."
"This should be a small matter for you."
Roger nodded.
Within sight.
The UFO above the beluga whale is about to take off.
However, at this very moment...
A series of red text suddenly slid across the top of the field of vision!
"Warning: Your mischievous child has accidentally touched the Warp Orb!"
"Warning: Your... Warp Orb!"
"Leap in progress..."
"Hint: You have arrived at level 6-6 (Moon Surface)"
"You have encountered the ' Last Celestial God Apostle '."
In a completely dark world.
It was a long, deathly silence.
Against a backdrop of potholes and uneven surfaces.
The UFO landed automatically.
When leaving the starship.
Roger noticed.
On the moon.
The Two-Dimensional World has been transformed back into a three-dimensional state.
Not far away.
A handsome man was smiling at the two uninvited guests.
"Damn it!"
Roger subconsciously touched his belt.
have to.
That white and slender thing has now vanished without a trace.
I never expected him to be so cautious.
In the end, even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw! In the Two-Dimensional World we just passed through.
The Myriad Poison Qi Stance won't work!
"Long time no see, Griffith."
The man smiled slightly and waved to the holy sword in Roger's hand.
Immediately afterwards.
He turned his gaze to Roger.
A subtle change occurred in his eyes:
"You too."
"Lord Roger."
