Lu Ren looked at Mahoraga in front of him and began to fall into deep thought.
The four- to five-meter-tall Shikigami stands quietly under Moonlight, with its gray-white hard skin glowing with a cold sheen. The Dharma Wheel above its head is motionless.
Its mechanism is indeed very strong, but it also has a fatal weakness, its survivability is a bit too low.
Ever since, Lu Ren was thinking about what kind of Binding Vow should be used to strengthen Mahoraga.
Among them, the fifth Soul Skill, Ice Empress's Pincer, has been used to strengthen Projection Sorcery, in exchange for the ability to cancel the frame limit and move freely. This deal is very cost-effective.
Next there are the fifth Soul Skill Ice Emperor's Protection, the sixth Soul Skill Eternal Frozen Domain and Ice Emperor's Wrath.
These three Soul Skill are all top-notch Soul Skill at the Four Hundred Thousand Years level provided by Ice Empress. Each of them can be exchanged for Binding Vow to achieve extremely strong effects.
So Lu Ren made a Binding Vow: "At the expense of never being able to use Ice Emperor's Protection in the fifth Soul Skill, in exchange for Mahoraga 100% All-Attribute Increase, 1,000% Defense Increase, and Doubled Adaptation Speed."
Ice Emperor's Protection is the core defense Soul Skill of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion family. It can greatly increase its own attribute increase in a short period of time. It is Ice Empress's life-saving trump card in frontal battles.
Using this level of Soul Skill to exchange for the all-round enhancement of Mahoraga is a sure profit no matter how you calculate it.
However, the result of Binding Vow is----
Not established.
Binding Vow immediately failed and was rejected. Obviously, there is no way to use Binding Vow.
This also made Lu Ren stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
This is the first time Lu Ren has encountered the failure of using Soul Ring to strengthen Cursed Technique.
This is Soul Skill of Four Hundred Thousand Years. Ice Emperor's Protection can withstand the attack of Super Douluo level in the hands of Ice Empress. Douluo Continent's Soul Skill is also a top-ranked defensive ability in the entire Soul Skill system. How can it not be established?
Now Mahoraga's weakness is obvious, that is, its defense is too weak. As long as it is Super Douluo level, or even just Ninth Soul Skill of Titled Douluo, it can kill Mahoraga in one blow.
After all, most of Titled Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill are more than 70,000 years old, and although Mahoraga's gray-white hard skin looks intimidating, in fact it can't even withstand a full-strength punch from Ice Empress.
Even Lu Ren himself can use hundreds of rounds per second Black Flash seconds Mahoraga, let alone the real Super Douluo?
Although Lu Ren's explosive power is not inferior to that of Super Douluo, what he wants is not a Shikigami that can be defeated by him, but a human shield that can withstand the enemy's strongest attack for him on the frontal battlefield, as well as adapt to all the abilities of the opponent, and then defeat him.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the survivability of Mahoraga.
As long as the survivability of Mahoraga is strong enough and it can withstand the first round of attacks without dying, it can survive until it successfully adapts. By then, any opponent will become meat on the chopping block in front of it.
"Then cancel 1,000% Defense Increase. Maybe I'm too greedy."
Lu Ren tried again to set Binding Vow, but it still failed.
He frowned, this time he only asked for a 100% increase in all attributes plus Doubled Adaptation Speed, not even defense specialization, but it still didn't work?
Lu Ren was silent for a long time.
In the past, setting up Binding Vow was done in one go. You could change it to whatever effect you wanted. I had never been rejected by Binding Vow itself.
Is it possible that the mechanism of Mahoraga is too strong, so strong that even Four Hundred Thousand Years Soul Skill is not enough to support additional attribute bonuses?
"Then remove the 100% increase in all attributes. I don't believe it's not enough!"
Lu Ren gritted his teeth, leaving only the effect of Doubled Adaptation Speed.
If he can't even do this, then he really doesn't know how to strengthen Mahoraga.
Finally----Binding Vow was successful, but I couldn't see how happy Lu Ren was. Instead, he had a question mark on his face.
The price he paid was Ice Emperor's Protection, Four Hundred Thousand Years level Soul Skill, which is equivalent to a super strong defense skill, but in the end he only got the effect of Doubled Adaptation Speed.
"Just this Doubled Adaptation Speed, just eat one of my Four Hundred Thousand Years's Soul Ring?"
Lu Ren was really shocked, but later on he felt relieved.
He recalled the performance of Mahoraga. Even the Rule-level sure hit of Unlimited Void could be gradually analyzed by adapting to the rotation of Dharma Wheel. He also helped Sutan develop World-Cutting Slash for Limitless--then this level of mechanism cannot be measured by ordinary Cursed Technique.
Mahoraga's adaptability is an unreasonable concept Rule. Any attempt to improve its attributes and adaptation speed at the same time will be judged as insufficient by Binding Vow's own Rule.
"That's right, with the mechanism of Mahoraga, it's worthy of this strength. No wonder it can't be exchanged for additional attribute increases. Its own adaptability is equivalent to the superposition of countless passive skills. Adding attributes to it will be too supermodel. Even Binding Vow and Rule can't stand it."
"Then, let's try it!"
Lu Ren aimed directly at Mahoraga and shot Black Flash.
The black light at the edge of the fist drew an arc in the night sky and hit Mahoraga's gray-white chest accurately.
The next moment, Dharma Wheel above Mahoraga's head spun around.
There was a crisp click, and Wheel rotated twice as fast as before.
In the past, it took some time for it to start turning after being beaten, but now it reacts almost instantly when it is attacked.
"It really accelerated the adaptation speed and my skin became sensitive."
Lu Ren's eyes twitched.
Good guy, Mahoraga needed to be hit a few times before it could get used to it, but now it turns at the first touch.
What does this Doubled Adaptation Speed mean?
This means that the window period for opponents to instantly kill it has been compressed in half, which means that it can enter a completely immune state faster when faced with high-frequency attacks, and means that any strategy that wants to kill it by continuous output becomes more unrealistic.
Now Mahoraga is even more powerful. Even if it is Lu Ren, if you want to rely on more than 200 Black Flash seconds, Mahoraga has to be weighed.
Especially Mahoraga also enjoys the enhanced bonus of Cursed Energy and Soul Power from Lu Ren.
It is Shikigami of Lu Ren, and is directly bound to the soul origin of Lu Ren. The higher the cultivation level of Lu Ren, the higher its basic attributes will be.
As long as Lu Ren's cultivation level continues to improve, Mahoraga's basic offense and defense will increase.
The current Mahoraga is stronger than the wild state of Subjugation Ritual, just because it has received the cultivation bonus of Lu Ren Level 73 Soul Saint, and the basic panel has been upgraded to a whole level.
Now Mahoraga's combat power has firmly stood in the range of Super Douluo.
It's really like the left foot is stepping on the right foot.
"Is the adaptation speed getting faster?" Ice Empress also discovered this problem.
Just now she saw with her own eyes that Lu Ren shot Black Flash, and Mahoraga's Wheel immediately spun around in a circle, completely different from the previous state where it took a moment to brew.
"Did you Binding Vow succeed?"
"Yes, only one effect was changed, Doubled Adaptation Speed, and other all attribute increases and defense bonuses were not given."
Lu Ren spread his hands helplessly.
"Next we have to think about the survival issues of Mahoraga. Although the adaptation speed is fast, if the opponent directly kills it in the first blow, then no matter how fast the adaptation speed is, it will be useless.
"So the problem we have to face now is that Mahoraga itself is too fragile. When faced with the full attack of Super Douluo level, there is no chance of turning Wheel for the second time."
"Then why are you just sitting here in a daze?" Ice Empress couldn't help but complain, floating in the air with his arms folded across his chest.
"This kind of thing is still difficult to do, isn't it? The mechanism of Mahoraga is already perverted enough. If you want it to be fleshy, capable of fighting, and adapt quickly, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"That's right. Our goal has been achieved. Let's go back first and think about it while we go back."
Lu Ren nodded.
Today's harvest is big enough. All Ten Shadows Technique and Shikigami have been subdued. Mahoraga's Doubled Adaptation Speed. This increase in combat power is enough to give him one more life-saving trump card when facing Mu En.
As for the problem of survival, you can slowly think of ways, such as using Cursed Spirit Manipulation to pinch a few defensive Cursed Spirit to protect Mahoraga closely, and stand in front of Mahoraga to buy time before Mahoraga can adapt.
He kicked his feet hard, and his body rose into the sky. A pair of Blood Wings grew out of his back, turning into a stream of red light, and rushed back to Mingdu as fast as possible.
After a few days, nothing happened. Holy Spirit Cult's side has completely stopped since the Six Great Elders group was wiped out, and even Xishui Alliance's activities in Mingdu have been reduced to a minimum.
--
No longer can we see groups of black-robed Evil Soul Master strutting through the market.
Shrek was also extremely quiet. Reconnaissance Cockroach, who stayed in the Shrek Academy, and Kurourushi, reported back every day that "no strong man belonging to the Shrek Academy has left the city" and "the academy is rebuilding order in the outer courtyard."
And Lu Ren was so bored that he stayed in his room and used Cursed Spirit Manipulation to create more Cursed Spirit.
The number of Anti-Domain Specialized Cursed Spirit has reached thousands, Specialized Defense Giant has also been prepared for a dozen spares, replacements for Smallpox Deity have also been prepared, several additional auxiliary types Cursed Spirit have been made, and the Soul Spirit Contract in hand has been repeatedly thought about how to spread it, which has become the most important part of Spirit Pagoda.
"Is there still no movement over there Shrek today?"
Lu Ren looked through the window at Kurourushi, who had been loyally staying outside.
This Special Grade Cursed Spirit is lying in the shadow in the corner of the yard. Its disgusting cockroach body is covered by its black robe, only the cockroach head at the top is exposed.
After hearing Lu Ren's question, it slowly shook its head.
Lu Ren frowned, still not understanding what Shrek wanted to do.
Mu En knew clearly that Bei Bei had been kidnapped and the expedition team was wiped out. He knew that Shrek's face had been trampled to pieces in front of the entire continent, but he still stood still.
This was not like the protective Dragon God Douluo he remembered.
Is it possible that he really plans to sit under Golden Ancient Tree until the end of his life?
Or is he planning a more terrifying counterattack?
"If Mu En comes out, you must tell me immediately."
Kurourushi nodded blankly, as if silently expressing "Don't worry, leave it to me."
At this time, there were more than a dozen small figures in the yard.
The ages of these children range from seven or eight to thirteen or fourteen, with different Martial Soul.
Some Martial Soul are Dark Attribute, some are poison type, and some are undead type, all of which are Martial Soul in the eyes of ordinary people as "Evil".
When they were first picked up, they were hungry and scared. They didn't even dare to speak loudly to anyone, and they subconsciously hid behind strangers when they saw them.
After a few days of comfort from Nana and others, I gradually relaxed. Now I can at least get together and listen to Nana explain the basics of Soul Power's operation.
Among them, two or three children Soul Power have already reached the tenth level, and only one Soul Ring is missing to break through to the eleventh level.
Under normal circumstances, they need to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, but with their current strength and situation, they do not have this condition at all.
Not to mention that they do not have the combat power needed to hunt down Soul Beast. Just by walking out of this courtyard, they will be eliminated as Evil Soul Master seedlings by the "righteous" Soul Master outside.
Lu Ren also used Spiritual Power to detect the specific situation outside.
Of course, what caught his most attention was the room Ye Guyi.
The Power of Holiness contained there is getting stronger and stronger.
How strong has it become?
The entire room is lit, and even when night falls, Ye Guyi's holy light can penetrate the walls and windows, illuminating the entire yard like daylight.
Nana doesn't even need to turn on Soul Guidance Lamp for lighting. People in the yard can walk as clearly as during the day.
"This is already a bit exaggerated----"
Lu Ren also twitched the corner of his mouth.
His Cursed Energy was faintly restless inside his body.
Power of Holiness is born to restrain negative energy. Although Ye Guyi's holy light is gentle and harmless, to Cursed Energy it is like someone beating gongs and drums in his ears.
No, we can't stay in the yard any longer.
Ye Guyi's Power of Holiness has affected the operation of Cursed Energy in his body.
"Well, it smells so familiar."
Electrolux also spoke in Sea of Consciousness of Lu Ren, with some rare interest in his tone.
"Elder Yi, what a familiar smell?"
Lu Ren is a little strange.
Electrolux is well-informed, and anything that makes him feel familiar must have a great background.
"I sensed that there is a Divine Fragment near us. The direction should be in the room of the child Ye Guyi."
Electrolux chuckled, and the slender figure stood with hands behind his hands in Sea of Consciousness. The deep self-light penetrated the wall and fell on the retreat room shrouded in holy light deep in the yard.
"This breath of Divine Power is very pure, purer than mine before. It is just a few fragments, not a complete god, but even so it is enough to cause the Law of heaven and earth to Resonance."
"It seems that the little girl also has her own opportunity."
"Ye Guyi has a Divine Fragment on him?"
Lu Ren is really surprised now.
Of course he knew that Ye Guyi was the descendant of Angel God Qian Renxue ten thousand years ago, but the original book never mentioned that she also owned Divine Fragment.
Something like Divine Fragment, even the smallest piece, is enough to transform an ordinary Soul Master.
He collected his thoughts and asked, "Elder Yi, you said that there is a Deity fragment on her body now - could it be Angel God Qian Renxue?"
"Well, I don't know who that Angel God is, but I know that the Deity fragment exudes extremely sacred radiant properties, and its purity of light breath is just as good as mine." Electrolux said.
Electrolux is Holy Necromancer, who was still a son of light during his lifetime, but later became a natural disaster of the undead, but does not conflict with Radiance Attribute, and even controls the undead soul of Radiance Attribute.
Therefore, Electrolux feels this sacred breath very clearly.
"That should be the so-called Deity fragment of Angel God Qian Renxue that fell on Ye Guyi. It's a bit rare." Lu Ren nodded thoughtfully.
But soon he felt something was wrong.
Angel God Qian Renxue wasn't God Position broken into pieces by Tang San ten thousand years ago?
Her Angel Godhood was completely shattered and fell from the altar. Even the angelic God Level Martial Soul degenerated into an ordinary Holy Angel Martial Soul.
How could she possibly have left behind fragments of Deity that could be absorbed by Ye Guyi?
Wait a minute--there's something wrong with this, isn't it?
Lu Ren frowned, as if he remembered some key clue.
There is no doubt that Qian Renxue left behind descendants, otherwise Holy Angel Martial Soul would not have been passed down, and it even developed into the Angel Clan ten thousand years later. The background is not bad.
In the original work, although Qian Renxue's family has declined, it still retains the ancient inheritance about Angel Martial Soul 0
Then the current situation of Ye Guyi, could it be Bloodline Reversion?
"----I have only been in your world not long ago. I don't know the specific details, but this is the only way to explain the changes that happened to the little girl."
"Bloodline Reversion is also a special form of inheritance. The power of the ancestors is sealed in the bloodline and is activated by the descendants at a specific moment. If she really has the bloodline of Angel God Qian Renxue, then when her cultivation breaks through a certain node, it is indeed possible to activate the Divine Fragment sealed in the bloodline." Electrolux said.
Lu Ren spread his brows.
He was also very surprised by the situation of Ye Guyi.
This has gone beyond the plot development of the original work.
It seems that his arrival has changed a lot of things under the butterfly effect.
Originally, Ye Guyi was just a supporting character with a small role in the original work. His biggest role was to use Holy Angel Martial Soul to restrain Evil Soul Master.
But if she really Bloodline Reversion succeeds, her potential and combat power will far exceed the positioning in the original work.
Ye Guyi Bloodline Reversion, which is also a good thing for Lu Ren. After all, the two sides are allies rather than enemies. The stronger Ye Guyi is, the more confident he will be to fight against Holy Spirit Cult in the future.
No matter what, Ye Guyi will become the most dazzling banner of Spirit Pagoda in the future.
"Go and see the children outside. You can test the effect of Soul Spirit Contract on them."
Lu Ren Pushed open the door, the afternoon sun shone in the yard, coating those small figures with a layer of warm gold.
The children were originally gathered together, timidly watching the Nana demonstrate the operation of the basic Soul Power. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they all turned their heads, with instinctive fear and curiosity in their eyes.
They have been scolded as "Monster" and "Evil Soul Master seedlings" since they were young. They have long been accustomed to the cold looks and rejection of others. Facing Lu Ren, a stranger they have never seen before, they inevitably feel timid.
A few timid children even shrank back subconsciously.
Nana quickly stopped explaining and came up to him, "Master, you came out. The children are very well behaved and have almost mastered the basic Soul Power. Some of them can already complete Soul Power's daily operation, that's----"
