According to the accepted theory of the Body Sect.
Black Iron Level Awakening, usually can bring about 30% overall attribute increase.
The effect is simple, basically the level that most ordinary Body Martial Soul Spirit Master can achieve.
But the way Long Zhanye feels at this moment... the increase effect is definitely far more than 30%!
He roughly estimated that it was at least close to 50%, maybe even more!
"Master! Master! Don't get excited! Take a closer look!"
"Junior brother, this Black Iron Level... seems a little wrong!"
While Zhua Yun was supporting Old Man Gu who was in despair, he also noticed something unusual.
He himself is also a Body Martial Soul Secondary Awakening, Bronze Level Awakening, and is very familiar with the aura of awakening.
He could feel the black aura emanating from Long Zhanye.
Although the color is indeed a typical feature of Black Iron Level, its level of condensation and inherent energy level are by no means comparable to ordinary Black Iron Level Awakening!
Ordinary Black Iron Level Awakening has a looser breath and a slightly stiffer amplification.
The current state of Long Zhanye is calm, concise, and profound. It may seem inconspicuous, but it actually contains amazing resilience and potential!
The amplification effect is likely to far exceed the standard! This is by no means an ordinary Black Iron Level!
Old Man Gu was shaken by Zhua Yun, but he still looked like he was "more sad than heartbroken".
He closed his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly, unwilling to look at Long Zhanye again, as if looking at him for a second longer would deepen his "internal injuries."
He was immersed in huge disappointment and self-doubt. "What are you looking at...Black Iron is Black Iron..."
"No matter what, it is the lowest... I have a great reputation for a lifetime... How can I teach Black Iron..."
However.
After Zhua Yun repeatedly reminded me and calmed down for a few breaths.
Old Man Gu finally overcame the emotional breakdown.
He reluctantly opened one eye, and with extreme reluctance and the last glimmer of hope, looked at Long Zhanye again.
This time, he looked very carefully.
No longer just focus on the external color of light, but use Soul Power and fine Divine Power to carefully perceive the subtle changes in the black atmosphere.
Gradually, the despair and disappointment on Old Man Gu's face began to fade.
What replaced it was a mixture of surprise, confusion, and a hint of stronger research interest!
"This... this degree of condensation... this 'consolidating' effect on oneself in all directions... that far exceeds the increase rate of the standard Black Iron Level..."
Old Man Gu murmured to himself, his eyes opening wider and wider, "This is definitely not what Black Iron Level can achieve..."
A bold conjecture gradually took shape in his mind.
"Could it be..."
"Because of the special nature of Heavenly Eye, his Second Awakening is not classified according to the conventional 'iron, copper, silver, gold' grades?"
This conjecture shocked him!
If that's the case.
The so-called "Black Iron Level" is not a failure, but may be a more solid form of awakening!
Just because it looks "unpretentious" on the outside, it is mistaken for a low-level one!
Old Man Gu The expression on his face changed several times. Finally, he took a long, deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
The look of disappointment and collapse completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of indifference that sees the world through.
He waved his hand, signaling Zhua Yun to let go of him, and then stood up straight.
Although there is still a hint of complexity deep in his eyes, his tone has returned to calmness, even with a hint of relief:
"That's all, that's all..."
"I am too obsessed with appearances. The Martial Soul way is vast and infinite. How can it be measured with common sense?"
"Especially for a kid like you, carrying Heavenly Eye Double Pupil is extraordinary. Maybe..."
"You, 'Black Iron', have your own 'Black Iron' reason and destiny."
He walked up to Long Zhanye and carefully looked at the black aura around him.
He said slowly, "Take back your Martial Soul. Remember how you feel now, remember this power."
"No matter how it appears externally, it is the manifestation of the secret of 'change' that belongs to you and is most suitable for your current state."
"Experience it well and use it well."
Long Zhanye heard this, his mind moved, and he slowly converged Soul Power and Divine Power.
The black aura around him quickly receded and reintegrated into his body, and Heavenly Eye also slowly closed.
He fell back to the ground and felt that his body was filled with an unprecedented sense of solidity and strength.
Although there was no gorgeous change in appearance, he knew it.
My own strength, even with this seemingly "inferior" awakening, has been truly improved!
He looked at Old Man Gu with gratitude and a hint of apology in his eyes. "Elder Gu, I let you down."
Old Man Gu waved his hand, feeling really relieved this time, and even smiled, "Disappointed? Maybe a little at first."
"But now... I am more interested. Where will your unique 'Black Iron' go in the future?"
"I... look forward to it very much."
He turned around and walked to the corner of the secret room, started to rummage for some things, and said without looking back, "Okay, I've finished reading Awakening."
"Get ready, let's go to Star Luo City. Remember, safety first, study first. As for you 'Black Iron Level'..."
"I... think of another way..."
Long Zhanye returned to his room and rearranged and replenished the items in Storage Soul Tool.
The letters from Elixir for healing, Soul Tool of various grades, dry food and water, and Gold Soul Coin and Old Man Gu for emergencies were checked one by one.
Finally.
His eyes fell on the silver-gray "coffin"-shaped Soul Tool that exuded cold air in the corner of the room.
Inside, Ice Seal holds the body of his fiancée Xiahou Ling.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and carefully carried it behind him.
The cold metal touch came through the fabric, but it made him feel a strange sense of peace and heaviness in his heart.
After packing up, he went to say goodbye to Elder Xu who had always cared about him.
Elder Xu I was both happy and reluctant to learn that he was going out to study.
He gave him many instructions and gave Long Zhanye a lot of Gold Soul Coin before he was willing to let him go.
After doing this, Long Zhanye came to Old Man Gu's secret room again to say his final farewell.
When Old Man Gu saw the strange-looking silver-gray "coffin" carried behind Long Zhanye.
His old face twitched, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "I want you to go out to study and buy medicine on the way, you..."
"Why are you carrying a coffin? Don't you think it's unlucky? People who don't know better would think you're going to a funeral!"
Long Zhanye looked calm. "I'm going to Star Luo City, maybe a few months, maybe longer."
"I'm not worried about leaving this 'coffin' here."
He paused.
His eyes glanced at the bottles and jars soaked with organs on both sides of the secret room, and he said meaningfully, "In case..."
"While I'm away, what if you, an old man, gets curious or goes mad again and... um, 'processes' the inside?"
"I have to take it myself."
"You! You brat!!"
Old Man Gu was so choked that his beard stood up. He pointed at Long Zhanye and was speechless for a long time.
He was indeed interested in researching various organs, but being "slandered" so bluntly still made him a little angry.
