Chapter Twenty-Four: King Kong
Jiang Shang's thinking is very clear, even if most of the Star Soul Envoys have become the weakness of his team, he doesn't want to be a burden to the team.
On the contrary, he expects to be the arrow of the team, and even more expects to become a powerful melee like Sun Hongling, leading the soul servant to cut through thorns.
But it's a pity that his soul color is destined for him to have no strong offensive soul skills and serve as the white tiger position of the battlefield blade? It's better to save it.
And choosing to enter the Xuanwu Academy and aim for professional defenders is not only because of the lack of professional defenders in his nascent Fengshen War Regiment, not only because most of the lighthouses have chosen the role of defenders to increase their chances of survival, but more importantly, they do have the talent to become a top defender.
Talent, I can't say it, someone said that success is 99% sweat plus 1% talent inspiration, Jiang Shang believes this, but he knows better that when the sweat is paid, the difference of 1% is the most critical.
Sometimes, the difference between a first-class master and a second-rate mediocre player is as much as 1%.
Then, it is Jiang Shang's comprehension to start preparing in advance and choosing the most suitable position according to his natural ability.
However, ordinary lighthouses are not suitable for defenders, and while they are very good at aggrosing and protecting their teammates, they have little advantage in their survivability.
The ability of the change warrior to strengthen and transform the body, whether it is changing the beast and demon, or the metallized and petrified body, is a very powerful survivability, and the amazing brute strength of the enhanced warrior, backed by heavy armor, is better at strengthening the body and taming the beast,
The cyan soul-colored defenders are good at creating barriers and enchantments, which can increase the protection of the entire team, compared to the lighthouse defenders of the Chenze system, but they can only rely on equipment to enhance their survivability, which is really not advantageous.
Although the orange soul-type lighthouse can indeed cultivate both red and yellow soul skills, the effect can be imagined.
Ordinary beacons choose defenders. It's just that because the heavy armor and shield live for a long time, it is a rather helpless choice.
But as a barrier to companions, the fragile meat shield, no matter how strong its attack ability and how strong its auxiliary ability is, is not qualified in itself, because the dead cannot make any contribution.
Therefore, a team with a lighthouse defender often needs another professional defender, and even the most priority protection target of this professional defender is the lighthouse that is also a basalt position. This is undoubtedly an excessive waste of resources.
Jiang Shang, on the other hand, was a little different, he chose this profession just because he could give full play to his natural abilities.
Unlike ordinary soul power cultivators, he is a star soul envoy and a human agent of the great sage Jiang Ziya.
Each legend is different, and the heroic soul abilities in the legendary stories have their own emphasis, and these differences are often derived from the star soul bearer.
Odyssey is one of Homer's heroes. They are good at individual duels, throwing spears, controlling giant beasts, and using artifacts are their most common abilities, and their personal strength is not bad. Most of the awakened soul skills are personal combat skills.
The heroes of the Three Kingdoms in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes of the Warring States in the biography of the Warring States, and the heroes of those military kings in the West are all heroes on the battlefield (battlefield-type star souls). While their personal combat strength is not bad, they often have strategic soul skills that are suitable for legion combat, such as summoning a soul beast legion. Buffs the entire Legion.
Especially the military advisors and wise men in these stories, even the Star Soul Martial Arts tend to military strategy and legion gains, and there are not a few.
And in the Journey to the West, which is closest to the Romance of the Gods, there are even more demons and monsters rampant, everyone can fight, and everyone can change, as a result, the Journey to the West star soul generally has the ability to change, and the personal combat power is extremely good, but not to mention the auxiliary buff ability of the big army, even the buff ability of the squad is lacking.
There are weaknesses where there is a focus, the battlefield type individual combat power is weak, and the combat Star Soul lacks the ability to turn the tide of a large battle, and in order to make up for these shortcomings, through the two major alliances formed by the Star Soul Envoy, the Star Soul Envoys will also hold regular bazaars to trade Star Souls and Soul Servants to make up for the shortcomings of their teams.
So, back to the origin, what are the characteristics of the Romance of the Gods?
This question was originally something that no one could answer, but the star soul heroes who followed the Romance of the Gods appeared one by one, and the original story had already been familiar, and Jiang Shang had vaguely sorted out the characteristics of the heroic souls in the Romance of the Gods.
That's the magic weapon.
In other stories, the artifacts of rare treasures are almost universally available in the Romance of the Gods, and contrary to the Journey to the West, which emphasizes the changes of supernatural powers, the combat power of that magic weapon is far beyond that of personal practice.
If the magic weapon is strong, it is strong, and it is the younger generation who has practiced for a few years, and it can also defeat the old-timers who have practiced for thousands of years.
The most obvious example is a few unlucky masters (Guangchengzi) who lent magic weapons to disciples, but then couldn't even beat the disciples.
His own heroic soul Jiang Ziya has four artifacts and magic weapons given by the ancestor of Taoism and one of the highest supremes, Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Among them, the first two are used to complete the mission of the gods, and the mounts are used to escape for their lives......
Jiang Ziya is an excellent military advisor in the legend, but he is definitely not an excellent warrior, so the last two magic weapons are simply for him to survive in the pursuit of strong enemies.
Jiang Shang expected that even if the soul skills of the four dislike awakened, most of them would be used to escape.
But Zuihou has an apricot yellow flag, but it is quite a success.
Apricot Yellow Flag, full name of the central Wuji apricot yellow flag, the ancient emperor Jiutou clan to the heavens to determine the earth, is to do the five flags to guard the four directions, the magic weapon represents the central thick soil, once unfolded, you can borrow the power of the earth of a continent to protect yourself.
That is the ultimate means given to Jiang Shang by the supreme god of Taoism to save his life, once it is used, it is not only immovable like a mountain, it is simply shijie immortal, and his people are not harmed.
There are countless gods and demons in the entire Romance of the Gods, but there is still no one who breaks the protection of the central Wuji apricot yellow flag.
Of course, after turning into a soul device, the effect will naturally be reduced, but the legend itself is liliang, and the effect of this defensive soul tool is absolutely strong, and the soul skill must also be defensive.
And choosing to become a defender, Jiang Shang is because he has confidence in this soul technique, and at this moment, Jiang Shang is working hard for this star soul technique.
Most of the Star Soul Skills will automatically awaken with the excavation of the Star Soul and the cultivation of the Star Soul Martial Arts, but the awakening of a few Star Soul Skills is conditional, and the Star Soul Skills that require conditions have the same characteristics, that is, they are extremely powerful.
It was said. This is due to the principle of level exchange, and this powerful Star Soul Skill is too easy to come by, and the Shijie rules are limited by its conditions.
Star Soul Technique. In the center of the thick earth, three prerequisite soul skills are required, although the star level is not high, they all involve three soul colors, which makes Jiang Shang, who has a weak foundation, extremely headache.
Compared to most naturally awakened star soul techniques, the requirements of this soul skill were really a bit excessive, but Jiang Shang was quite happy, because this showed that this soul skill must be powerful.
Now. He is practicing the first goal, the transformation of soul power attributes. Earth.
The firelight gathered on the arm, burning wildly, but as it fell, it was a fine dust.
It is also the elementalization of soul power, the East and the West seem to be the same, but the internal theories are far from each other.
In the West, the four forms of the same substance are transformed into each other, while the Five Elements in the East conform to the laws of heaven and earth. Completely transformed into a different element.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing, fire is born of earth, representing the new soil, which is transformed from the flame that represents destruction.
Jiang Shang, who has mastered the transformation of soul power attributes: flames. To further convert the attribute conversion: earth, in fact, it is not very difficult.
Reciprocity and reincarnation are eternal, this is the Oriental Five Elements Theory. And just fire gives birth to earth, there is "nothing" to "being", and after destruction, it is destined to be a new philosophical thought.
But for a rookie night watchman like Jiang Shang. Realistically, after mastering an attribute conversion soul technique at the beginning, it is not so difficult to learn everything else after that.
Jiang Shang had locked himself in the house for most of the day, and a large wooden barrel used for bathing was all filled with the soil he had made.
Of course, he didn't do it for the convenience of cleaning, but for another purpose.
"Ahla, I don't have soul power again, it seems that the gem-level soul power is not enough, but the fourth-level shattered crystal-level soul power requires at least ten times the gem-level soul power reserve, it seems that some of them have survived."
Jiang Shang stretched his waist, but buried his body deeper.
Yes, he himself had been in the soil of his own making, and now, with only his head and right arm outside, but he was quite pleasant, as if he were enjoying a hot spring bath.
After the cultivation of soul power in soul skills, then, let's practice supernatural powers.
Want to become an invincible fortress, soul skill. The center of the thick earth is still far away, but the golden steel in front of him is not bad, but it is already in front of him.
Fire begets earth, and after that, it's earthy gold.
Avatar. The incorruptible body of King Kong is undoubtedly a metallic supernatural power, and the copper skin, iron bones, steel bars, golden body, and glazed body are the five known levels of this supernatural power cultivation (the supernatural power cultivation is endless, but it is only the known realm of Qi Lier, who has the highest cultivation in this aspect. )。
is also King Kong is not bad, Sun Hongling can eat the giant wood of the cyclops, and if it is Jiang Shang, the hammer of one hundred and ten tons will be smashed down, and it is guaranteed to become a puddle of meat sauce.
Taking advantage of the combination of attributes of the change system, Qi Lier's Vajra is not bad and cultivates to the fourth layer of the golden body realm, while Sun Hongling is only the third layer of the steel realm, and Jiang Shang, in the battle of Asura, the original metallized skin was smashed and reorganized one by one, and now the copper skin can be regarded as a great cultivation.
"Native gold, using one's own homologous soil to warm the incorruptible body of Vajra, is very beneficial to cultivation. By the way, don't tell that monkey, this is my secret recipe for Vajra not to be bad. ”
Ziliel thought about it, but shook her head. "Forget it, just say what you want, whatever you want."
In the past, the two were rivals, but now, there are many reconciliations, so Qi Lier changed her attention, but she still added.
"Don't say I want you to tell her, just say you found it yourself. By the way, don't forget to say that it must be a pure soil created by the transformation of your soul power, with the same origin and homogeneity, so as to facilitate the absorption of the physical body and avoid impurities from mixing into the golden body. ”
Thinking of Qi Lier's awkward appearance of not wanting to tell the old enemy the secret method, but also emphasizing the key points, Jiang Shang laughed, but at this time, he opened the most in the mound, and then, the dust entered his mouth, and he hurriedly shut up again.
At this moment, he soaked in the soil, using the home remedies he got from Qi Lier to warm his copper skin realm and impact the second layer of iron bone realm.
This practice is actually not easy, first itchy, itching everywhere all over the body, and people hate to scratch the skin.
The itch, like ants interspersed up and down the skin, like a kitten scratching in the heart, makes people angry from the heart, it is really unbearable.
Jiang Shang knew it, and Qi Lier emphasized that he must bury himself deeply. Only then can you start practicing, otherwise, if you don't bury people and can't move, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the urge to jump up and stop itching.
After more than half an hour of itching, the feeling changed, it was pain, the pain of the damn ant burrowing into the body and biting the muscles.
"Ahhh
Jiang Shang screamed in pain, but then remembered that it was already night, and hurriedly bit the towel on the side. I didn't let the sound of pain come out.
The pain of this knife cutting flesh also lasted for more than half an hour, Jiang Shang was dying of pain, his lower lip was bitten with blood, his eyes were red, and he was terrifying, he gasped, thinking that it was always over, but then, it was a more penetrating pain.
The pain of scraping the bones. It hurts my heart.
It turns out that the previous one was just an appetizer.
The spatula is used to remove the bones, as if a whole set of metal tools were being used in the body. Stirring back and forth, the bones are broken one by one, pieced together, cut, and reassembled.
Ants eat bones with their mouths. Feel the countless little mouths devouring and biting on the bones, and the little things crawling in the cracks of the bones. It hurts from the outside of the bone all the way to the bone marrow.
This toss lasted for five or six hours, Jiang Shang was fainted in pain and then woken up in pain, and woke up in pain and then fainted in pain, the so-called death and life probably refers to this situation.
I don't know how long it has been, probably, in Jiang Shang's eyes, it is a real second like a year, and the morning light evokes him.
The day dawned, and the night passed in this repeated awakening coma.
"Is it dawn...... Ziliel said it just hurts, is this a little pain in the professional night watch? ”
Jiang Shang had wronged Qi Lier a little, when she practiced herself, it was indeed only a little painful, and there was a reason why Jiang Shang would hurt to this extent.
The soul technique transforms the surrounding big shijie, but the soul power martial arts, what is changed is the small shijie of the flesh, the supernatural power, which is just a product of the soul power martial arts.
This is also the reason why Jiang Shang has copied a lot of soul martial arts after coming to Penglai, but he doesn't dare to practice, there is only one body, and the change is often irreversible, and there is no turning back if he takes the wrong path.
Now, now that the Nine Transformations Xuangong is the main martial arts of the Battle Star Soul, it is optimistic about its potential as high as the Nine Stars, and it is also for the sake of this immortal and undefeated King Kong incorruptible body.
Originally, it was a slow process for King Kong not to be bad for the supernatural powers to gradually change the physical body, but Jiang Shang copied and practiced the eight or nine Xuangong supernatural powers for less than three months, and did not have the solid foundation laid by Qi Lier and Sun Hongling's four or five years of water milling.
He has progressed too fast, and the bronze skin realm has not yet stabilized, so he plans to advance to the iron bone.
Normal cultivation is to wait for the muscles and bones under the gradual influence of copper skin, so that the bones will gradually become as solid as iron in a year or two, but Jiang Shang still takes the right way, and it only takes one night to become iron.
Qi Lier's King Kong is not bad because it goes with the flow, it is a high-rise building pushed up with cement bricks after laying the foundation and steel bars, and there is not much profit or loss if it takes the wrong side, but Jiang Shang's King Kong is not bad, it is like a good mold poured into the integrated molding of molten steel, which is an overnight success of catching ducks on the shelf.
Originally, the foundation was not solid, and he still took the wrong way, which was naturally equivalent to rebuilding the bones overnight, and he deserved to suffer the pain of scraping the bones.
didn't feel so painful that he was mindful and long, he was already strong-willed, and he didn't break his body, which was already blessed by God.
These were all things that Jiang Shang figured out later, and now, he was just surprised by the terrible pain and the sudden rise of his vision.
"It's strange, the view is a little skewed...... Am I getting taller? ”
It turned out that Jiang Shang was only 1.78 meters tall, but now, it is almost 1.81, and he grows three centimeters tall overnight, which is equivalent to growing his body for a year overnight, and his bones are broken and reforged, so it's no wonder that he is dying of pain.
Throwing the strange thought to his mind, Jiang Shang shook his head and stood up, the dust in the bucket had long since turned into powder and went away with the wind.
Compared with the body of the past, the muscles of today are thin, but they are as white as jade, like a newborn baby, and the morning light shines on it, and there is a faint trace of metallic luster.
Kunpeng's artificial sun brought the entire Penglai back to daylight, and Jiang Shang also ushered in a new day.
"New and old student exchange competition? Hehe, let me meet the world's heroes. (To be continued......)
