Chapter 167: Cut the Body with a Knife, Cut the Soul with a Heart
Gao Li wanted to say at this moment, you are really busy, one moment a chef, the next a forger. However, although Gao Li was muttering in his heart, his expression was still somewhat powerless when facing Lu Ran's expression of sharing the burden for the Divine Religion. If he didn't support him, if Lu Ran took off in the future, it would be the ironclad evidence of Gao Li's "disloyalty to the Divine Religion".
Finally, Gao Li's mouth twitched and he said: "The soul-suppressing stone I borrowed from you is a soul-type ore. I still have some here to test soul talents when preaching."
Before Gao Li finished speaking, Lu Ran said: "Thank you, Brother Gao Li, when I was studying soul cooking, I felt that something was missing. If I could forge a soul kitchen knife with a spirit, maybe I could eliminate the growth disadvantages of the dead spirit system."
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Gao Li shouted in his heart, you kid is too whimsical. Although I feel it is unreliable, I still have to support it.
"Okay, I can give you another soul-soothing stone to help you study forging. If you want more, I don't have any." Gao Li said. He wanted to slap himself now. Why did he talk so much and talk to Lu Ran about the spirit of the weapon. If he didn't talk about this, maybe Lu Ran wouldn't want the soul ore.
"Thank you!" Lu Ran smiled, and Hei Yu beside him was silent. It felt that Lord Gao Li was completely controlled.
Undead kitchenware, Lu Ran didn't think of it at first. The Zanpakuto he wanted to forge was purely a weapon that could cause stable damage to the soul. It doesn't matter whether there is a spirit of the weapon, but now think about it, the dead blade seems to be more suitable for soul kitchenware than a simple Zanpakuto. Of course, no matter which one Lu Ran can only think about it at this time, and type the first station by hand.
Next, under Gao Li's instructions, Lu Ran and Hei Yu went back to the city lord's mansion. And he himself began to send people to investigate the movements of the imperial army outside. The imperial army is ready to move, which is not good news for Ming'an City.
"I hope nothing will happen!" Gao Li sighed.
After Lu Ran came back, he didn't let Hei Yu eat anymore. Twenty chose to practice alone. First of all, although he got another soul-soothing stone for forging the Death Blade and Zanpakuto, he was not in a hurry. It is impossible for a Zanpakuto to cut the soul consciousness, otherwise someone in the God Cult would have done it long ago. And he couldn't forge the Death Blade now.
Lu Ran could probably understand the idea of the Death Cult's forger, which was to create a container for the residual souls in the Land of Death that was suitable for them to repair their souls and had the nature of luring residual souls. In this process, if the weapon and the residual soul can perfectly match. Then a dead weapon was born.
Unfortunately, although Lu Ran understood these principles, there was no Land of Death that was suitable for nurturing weapons. Even if there was this process, it was estimated that it would not be achieved overnight. It could take at least a few months, or even dozens or hundreds of years. The most important thing was that he didn't know how to forge a dead container.
Similarly, even if the Death Kitchen Knife was born, whether it could cut the soul consciousness was still an unknown number, and it was probably not possible. They are just tools. The key point may still lie in the people who use the tools, which is lower than the understanding of soul consciousness. Only when the perfect tool is combined with the perfect understanding of the user can it reach the peak of knife skills. Only then can the soul's consciousness and energy be perfectly cut.
So, Lu Ran still chose to start practicing. Fortunately, he had foresight and prepared hundreds of Qingling fruits in advance, otherwise it would be too difficult to buy cultivation resources in a war-torn ghost place like Feiming Province.
"Sudden Death King"
"Roar" Sudden Death King came out with a confused face.
"Exercise with me." Sudden Death King pondered, and then asked how to practice with him.
"Simple." Lu Ran said: "You just stand there."
Then Lu Ran took out a kitchen knife and said: "Next, I will use this kitchen knife to chop you continuously."
Sudden Death King: ? ? ?
"Don't worry, I don't use force, and even if I use force, I can't break your defense."
Sudden Death King was stunned, then nodded, it was indeed the case.
"In short, you have two tasks next." Lu Ran took out a piece of black cloth and covered his eyes. He took a kitchen knife and slashed the hard scales of the King of Death.
I will remember this grudge! The King of Death kept repeating it. However, Lu Ran used his telepathic superpower to capture his consciousness fluctuations and tried to help the King of Death "cut off the hatred".
"The knife cuts the flesh, and the heart cuts the soul!" Lu Ran's telepathic ability is bugged. For example, the space hamster did not hide its mental fluctuations before, so Lu Ran captured their hostility.
Now Lu Ran uses telepathy as a means to assist himself in practicing the soul sword intent. Capture the enemy's emotional fluctuations through telepathy, and then cut it with a sword. Although he didn't know why it couldn't succeed, Lu Ran felt it was completely reasonable. If he could hurt the King of Death's mind with an extraordinary kitchen knife, wouldn't it be the soul sword intent?
Of course, Lu Ran didn't practice it to death. She was very advanced. After swinging a few knives without any effect, he took out the soul-suppressing stone again. The soul of the Sudden Death King was slapped out. Then, through telepathy, he could sense the different feelings of the Sudden Death King when he was attacked by himself/attacked by the Soul Calming Stone. This comparison would allow Lu Ran to have a deeper understanding of soul damage.
Of course, it was not just that. After all, although the kitchen knife did not cause any damage, the Sudden Death King would get annoyed when he was always being chopped. At this time, Lu Ran would put down the kitchen knife and release the flame to attack the Sudden Death King with the Flame Spirit.
Similarly, when the Sudden Death King could feel that it was his soul that was being burned instead of his body, Lu Ran would be considered to have made progress, and he would have transformed the ordinary flame into the soul heart flame combined with telepathy.
Just like that, five days flew by. Lu Ran insists on practicing for 8 hours every day, at the pace of one Qingling Fruit every hour. Five days later, he and Mr. Ha poured hundreds of thousands of coins into it. It is also necessary for Mr. Ha to eat Qingling Fruit. Although its cultivation method is not as scientific as his own, after all, it has the talent to learn and control weapons, and its own soul comprehension is also extremely powerful.
By reversing extraordinary mimicry, Lu Ran could also increase his training efficiency by using its weapon talents when needed.
On this day, the violent death king was beaten as usual by Lu Ran's kitchen knife attack. Although it was annoying, after so long, the violent death king had become familiar with it and treated it like scraping. However, an attack that was ordinary at first suddenly flashed with blue light in Lu Ran's eyes, and the king suddenly let out an "ouch" and felt a sting in his heart. He stood up immediately in shock.
boom!
The huge body of the sudden death king stood up, and Lu Ran stared at it in surprise. At the same time, some changes occurred in the information Lu Ran looked at himself.
【Race】Human
[Beast Control Level] Level 1
[Beast Control Skills] Super Beast Mimicry/Fire Spirit
[Special Abilities] Telepathy/Blizzard Sword Intent/Fire Dragon Sword Intent/Psychic Sword Intent
[Psychic Sword Intent] A special attack derived from swordsmanship combined with telepathy that can directly cut into the enemy's mind.
"Fuck!" Lu Ranmeng said loudly.
"Woof?" Mr. Ha hurriedly ran over from inside the house. It was holding the sword grass as if to say that the lying grass is here with me.
"Idiot Mr. Ha, I'm one step ahead of you again this time." Lu Ran held a kitchen knife, with a split corner of his mouth and an excited expression. It really was worth wasting five days of his time, plus investing 800,000 grade coins worth of Qingling Fruit. As long as the sword intention of the mind is achieved.
Lu Ran looked at the soul-suppressing stone and felt that the next step was to try to forge this thing into a Zanpakutō. With the Zanpakutō combined with the Soul Sword Intent that attacks the soul, what kind of sparks can it create against the soul?
"Woof woof" At this moment, Mr. Ha was stunned. Done? Why! !
"Want to learn? I'll teach you!" Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha calmly. Gouzi, if the beast master doesn't show off his power, he still thinks that his understanding is unparalleled. The King of Death also began to look at Lu Ran eagerly.
"You can't learn it" Lu Ran curled his lips.
"Let me try it later and see if I can actually cook harmless soul food. Then I will roast a few dragon souls for you to eat."
"But then again" Lu Ran looked into the distance, it's been almost a week. Why has there been no movement from the trialists in the imperial camp?
After some investigation, Missionary Gaoli did find out that the remnants of the empire were warning civilian beastmasters around. This also confirmed Gao Li's determination to regain Ming'an City by the remaining imperial soldiers. Therefore, the necromancers in the city have been preparing for war during this period. However, the other party has been reluctant to take action. Lu Ran was anxious. Although the opponent had not taken action, he could win and complete the task without fighting, but he felt that his score would not be high.
"No, I have to show off. I can't continue like this. I can't just practice. I can continue to study the Soul Sword Intent after the breakthrough mission is completed. The most urgent task is to increase the score of the breakthrough mission to SSS level first. Since the opponent does not take the initiative to attack the city, then I will also follow the example of the guy who sneaked into the city lord's palace to sneak attack on the top officials of the empire camp to prompt the war to break out quickly. "
Lu Ran was heartbroken. Although this was a bit arrogant and dangerous, Lu Ran was more worried about the lack of good rewards due to the gap in breakthrough scores. After all, one person can get the reward for breaking through the secret realm at once. If you miss it, it will be gone.
"The reason why the other party dares to come to the death camp alone is because he has space skills. No one can do anything to him and he can escape safely. If I want to carry out a sneak attack, I have to prepare a retreat. Our advantage should be air superiority. Bundle."
After integrating the characteristics of natural learning control, Mr. Ha's control of wind is perfect. Not only can he perfectly walk through the air, but he can also mobilize strong winds to hinder others from pursuing him. Lu Ran felt that he could let Mr. Ha take him to the sky and send a big gift to the empire camp from the air.
While Lu Ran was planning, the princess and her daughter were actively preparing these days, such as gaining an in-depth understanding of the undead system and formulating battle strategies. The other aspect is to convince the Imperial Army. Riguang Qiaru indeed made the reaction of the Death Cult become violent. This intense action also allowed the imperial camp to capture the extraordinary atmosphere of truth. I was afraid that the undead camp would come out.
"Captain Kane, we responded to the imperial army's call and came to fight against the undead cult. We came to pursue justice and help the weak. We did not come to accompany you to garrison. The nine of us have already planned to attack Ming'an City alone. Are you sure the beast army won't be together? There are still many innocent people in Ming'an City, and there are many beast masters who are about to be harmed. Are you just going to watch them suffer the persecution of the undead cult?" The Knight of Glory faced the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Army. The supreme commander - the captain of a second-level beast master said seriously.
"We can't bear it anymore, and now we make a final request... no, request, request that the Beast Control Legion and I can attack together."
"Brother Rongguang, please don't worry." Captain Kane was sweating profusely and was conflicted. At this time, waiting for reinforcements was the best option. The military order also asked him to garrison the outside world. It would be irrational to go up and fight for his life now. But the words of the Glory Knight stuck in Kane's heart again and again. Indeed, if Ming'an City is liberated earlier, there will be a chance that many fewer people in the empire will be freed from the persecution of the necromancers.
"Hmph, again, if you are afraid, we can definitely be at the forefront."
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not." Captain Kane pondered. In fact, what troubled him most was not the safety of the people of the empire. Although I feel a little guilty, many people have died in recent years. He has to come here, he is just a small second-level beast master. What makes him fearful is the strength of the Glory Knights. The strength of the Queen of Light and the three Knights of Light had been demonstrated to the Imperial Army before. In particular, the strength of the Queen of Light frightened Kane, a second-level beastmaster.
This also allowed Kane to judge that this group of people definitely had a good background, and they were the second generation of beast masters who came from a major force to experience. If this group of people attacked Ming'an City on their own and something happened and they were injured, if their background had worked hard and they knew that it was caused by not following them to attack the city, their remnant soldiers would not be able to reap the benefits. The result may be worse than attacking the city directly.
On the contrary, if you use the power of this group of people to take over the city and please them and satisfy them, you may become prosperous in the future.
"Okay!" Over the past few days, Kane's psychological defense was gradually broken, and he said: "Brother Rongguang, the people of Ming'an City are being persecuted by the evil cult, and I feel pain in my heart. Fuck the military order. The undead forces in Ming'an City It's about to move, as if it's about to abandon the city. In order to prevent the undead forces from spreading out, we have to attack in advance. "
"Please help us, let's attack together."
"That's right." The Glory Knight smiled. It was finally time to officially siege the city, and he was now quite curious as to whether the mysterious man who hurt Sunlight would appear during the siege.
This guy frightened Nikko, and the knights had to avenge Nikko.
