The Blackstone Settlement, the core area.

After returning from the ruins of B3 City, Lin Ze hurried to the Swordsmith Guild non-stop.

He originally planned to ask Pan Zongchang about the awakening of the soul knife, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to ask Su Rin first, and if she didn't know, then seek help from the guild.

Su Rin happened to be resting in the past two days, and when he saw Lin Ze coming to the door, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and when he saw the latter's dusty appearance, obviously just coming back from outside the settlement, his expression couldn't help but move, and he hurriedly said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Hearing this, Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, and after looking down at his appearance, he immediately became stunned.

He had just come back from outside, and he ran over to find Su Rin without even changing his combat uniform, so it was no wonder that the latter thought that something urgent had happened.

"It's not a big deal, I just have something I want to ask you. ”

Su Rin's expression relaxed, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she turned sideways slightly to get out of the way.

"Come in first. ”

Lin Ze nodded and walked in.

"What about Xiaojie and Xiaowen?"

"They went to school. ”

"Go to school?" Lin Ze was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, the two little ones had reached the age of going to school, but they used to live in a slum area and couldn't even eat well, so they put it aside for the time being.

But now that Su Rin has become a trainee knife caster, and is also a core member of the Knife Smith Guild, he earns a lot of money, so he naturally wants to let his two younger siblings go to school as soon as possible.

Although the wasteland world is supreme in force, the cultural knowledge that should be learned cannot be left behind.

The relationship with Su Rin was already very familiar, and Lin Ze was not polite, and after sitting down on the sofa, he went directly to the topic.

"Do you know about the awakening of the soul sword?"

"Soul Knife Awakening?"

Su Rin was stunned for a moment when asked, "I know, I know, the senior swordsmith of the guild told me about this, but you ask this ......"

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face, "You shouldn't be able to cast a soul knife, right?"

Lin Ze admitted calmly: "That's right. ”

When the words fell, Su Rin couldn't help but take a light breath, and his eyes looking at Lin Ze were suddenly full of shock.

You must know that the soul knife red lotus that Lin Ze is forging is a high-level formula, and it is extremely difficult to cast, and the time is usually measured in years, and many genius knife casters have spent seven or eight years to successfully cast the soul knife.

However, Lin Ze only took a long time, and he was only in his early half a year when he was full, and this time was not enough even if it was used to cast a lower-level soul knife, but he actually succeeded in casting a high-level soul knife, which was unbelievable.

It took a long time for Su Rin to recover from the shock, looked at Lin Ze in a daze, opened his mouth, and said a word after a while.

"I'll keep it a secret for you!"

Half a year to cast a high-level soul knife, this can no longer be explained by genius, but the category of monsters, once it is spread, it is inevitable to attract attention, but then there may be a lot of jealousy or suspicion, Su Rin is familiar with Lin Ze's character and knows that he has never wanted to attract attention, so he said such a sentence.

"Thank you. Lin Ze thanked him, he really didn't want to be too much attention, "About the Soul Knife Awakening ......"

Su Rin understood and continued: "The awakening of the soul knife refers to the stage of continuous growth and strengthening after the soul knife is cast, when it is fully awakened, the soul knife can release a more powerful power than liberation, and you can also see it as the second liberation. ”

"In the process of forging the soul knife, the blade absorbed a large amount of soul energy of insects and beasts, and this huge energy was hidden in the blade, and when we liberated the soul knife, we could call on this energy and then exert various abilities. ”

"However, this soul energy is too strong and huge, and the official sword caster who has just been promoted can only call some of it at most, and only through continuous communication and perception to improve the fit with soul energy can more soul energy be called!"

"The degree of fit, or the degree of awakening, represents the amount of soul energy that the official knife caster can invoke!"

Lin Ze suddenly realized that Red Lotus's current awakening degree was 10%, which meant that he could only invoke at most 10% of the soul energy contained in the soul knife.

"Only 10% of the soul energy is so strong, so after fully awakening, the power of the red lotus will have to go against the sky. Lin Ze was secretly frightened, but he was relieved.

After all, in the process of forging the Red Lotus, he had absorbed the soul energy of nearly 10,000 insects and beasts, and the amount of soul energy gathered was unimaginable.

"It seems that the potential of the soul knife power system is much higher than I originally expected!" Lin Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he immediately looked at Su Rin again, and continued to ask, "Then how can I increase my awakening?"

"There are three ways!" Su Rin raised three fingers and said slowly, "The first way is to exercise through the Soul Liberation Knife, which is also the most suitable way. ”

"Frequent invocation of soul energy can quickly increase the compatibility between the swordsmith and soul energy, which in turn promotes awakening. ”

Speaking of this, Su Rin deliberately added, "In addition, only by liberating the soul knife and actively invoking soul energy can the awakening degree be improved, but only by stimulating the characteristics of the soul knife without liberation, and passively borrowing the power of soul energy, it will not achieve the effect of exercising fit!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze's heart couldn't help but move.

When he activates the characteristics of the soul knife, he will generally drive the flame soul energy in the qi fusion soul knife to strengthen its power, so is that considered active invocation of soul energy?

Not to mention that there is also the flame sword qi formed by using qi as a medium to fuse the flame soul energy from the outside, this should always be the active use of soul energy, and it should also have the effect of exercising.

In this way, even if he doesn't release the soul knife, Lin Ze can also use it to exercise the compatibility with the soul energy and promote awakening.

This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise!

The liberation of the soul knife is very energy-consuming and cannot be used frequently, so if an ordinary knife caster wants to increase the awakening degree, the process must be very slow, and the time required can be imagined, but he is different, there is no need to liberate the soul knife, even if it is just to stimulate the characteristics of the soul knife, it can be exercised, and in the long run, the increase speed of the awakening degree must far exceed that of others.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lin Ze continued to ask: "What about the second type?"

"The second way is to ascend through the Spirit Relief Stone!"

"Spirit Stone?" Lin Ze recalled, making sure he had never heard of anything like it.

Su Rin explained: "The spirit stone is a little-known strange thing, most knife casters don't know the existence of this kind of thing, I also accidentally saw it in the ancient books in the guild library, it says that the spirit stone can greatly promote the awakening of the soul knife, but I don't know if it's true or not, I'll find a chance to ask the seniors of the guild later." ”

"Does that ancient book say where to find the Spirit Relief Stone?" Lin Ze asked after thinking for a while.

"The specific method was not mentioned, only that it was related to the emperor-level insect beast. ”

Emperor-level insect beasts?

Lin Ze couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, if this was the case, then he really had nothing to do.

Insects and beasts are divided into one to ten levels from low to high according to their strength and danger, but above the tenth level, there are more powerful and terrifying insects and beasts, which humans call the emperor level, which means the emperor of insects and beasts.

The emperor-level insect beast is a disaster-level existence, and every appearance is accompanied by an overwhelming insect tide, which is enough to threaten the survival and safety of any settlement, and its own strength is extremely terrifying, only a swordsmith who surpasses the tenth level can contend with it, and it can only be resisted.

This level of swordsmith, also known as the 'human pillar', means the pillar of the human race, and there are only three in the entire Blackstone settlement.

President of the Swordsmith Guild, Chairman of the Autonomous Committee, and General Counsel of the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce!
