Volume 7:12 Fighting as a soldier
When people all over the world asked Li Xiaosen to hand over the resurrection artifact before, Li Xiaosen was calm on the surface, but in fact, he didn't feel good in his heart, just for his sister, gritted his teeth, resisted the pressure, and insisted on not handing it over easily.
And now, Long Wu didn't want Li Xiaosen to hand over three pieces, only two pieces were enough, and there was no reluctance when he handed over the holy weapon, but a little relaxed.
This is not entirely a rebellious mentality, but subconsciously, Li Xiaosen somewhat regarded Long Wu, who inherited the legacy of the "Lord Lodson", as an elder in his hometown.
I thought that I would never have any intersection with my hometown, I thought that I had been abandoned by my compatriots in my hometown, Li Xiaosen adjusted his mentality and was mentally prepared to live on the earth, but suddenly from Long Wu, he felt the kind of care from his hometown and compatriots that spanned thousands of years.
The world in front of us has not changed, and there are still many problems and difficulties.
But in Li Xiaosen's eyes, the whole world has become brighter, the air is fresh, and the sun is shining, and even the current siege of K City is not so difficult.
Although he has lived two lives and experienced so many things, in a certain part of his heart, Li Xiaosen is actually just a child who lacks love.
A little care from Xiaoqian more than ten years ago made Li Xiaosen regain the courage to live.
Now, Long Wu has made Li Xiaosen re-experience the warmth from his hometown.
In addition to rejoicing, Li Xiaosen was deeply ashamed.
I am ashamed that I did not live as strong as Li Xingni and Long Wu, and I am ashamed of the ten years that I wasted.
Long Wu said: "All the preparations of Xing Ni and I are for the worst possible. Even if the Nocturnal Ancestor is truly resurrected, we are confident that we will fight her and win the battle!"
These words made Li Xiaosen feel even more embarrassed.
If you are strong enough, where do you need to hold on to the Resurrection Hallows and refuse to let go? In the final analysis, there is no difference between yourself and those who have to hand over the holy weapons themselves. And Li Xingni and Long Wu, these two went to a higher place, and they made Li Xiaosen feel very ashamed.
"I want to work harder to practice hard!" This was after handing over the two resurrection artifacts that day (announced to the public that all three resurrection artifacts had been handed over), Li Xiaosen told himself, "In fact, as long as I am strong enough, I don't need to care about the resurrection artifact at all." I can't make sure of my sister's safety, after all, it's still me, too weak, too hard. ”
This is the reason why Li Xiaosen played with his life after talking to Long Wu that day.
"The preparations for the destruction of the Resurrection Hallows will be completed in three days at most. Long Wu sent a message, "In the past three days, Xiao Sen, you have calmed down, and you should try not to fight." Your power is very important, make sure that the ritual of destroying the Hallows goes smoothly, and then, after the Resurrection Hallows is destroyed, you can go to battle as you wish, if the Nightkin doesn't collapse on its own. ”
Regarding the ritual preparation for the destruction of the resurrection artifact, Li Xiaosen, for the sake of safety, carefully asked about the principle, and in the process of seriously participating in it, he completely confirmed: Long Wu did not play any tricks, it was really just a ritual used to destroy the "Ancestral Bones" and "Ancestral Power", and it would not harm his sister.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Five. Li Xiaosen replied to the message, and then continued to practice.
On a small island in the center of an artificial lake in the center of K, a group of core members of the Sanren Society, under the command of Long Xiaoliu, are building an "altar" for destroying the resurrection holy artifact.
Long Qi'er stood not far away, standing with the commander-in-chief Long Wu.
"Uncle Xiaowu, what are you laughing at?" Long Qi'er looked at Long Wu who couldn't help but smile after seeing Li Xiaosen's reply with some strangeness, she still calls Uncle Long Wu, after all, she is used to it, and it is difficult to change her words.
"Oh, it's nothing ......" Long Wu shook his head, but said in his heart: Li Xiaosen, this kid, felt that he didn't trust me before, so he felt very guilty, and then the way he made up for his shame was such a day and night practice? This kid has really changed a lot.
Long Wu once incarnated as Li Xiaosen in black, lurking in Li Xiaosen's body, he had seen Li Xiaosen's weakest, weakest, and ugliest side.
But now looking at Li Xiaosen, Long Wu feels: Li Xiaosen has really been reborn. Not in the form of life, but in the heart.
"Now you really deserve the title of Battle Mage, like that Lord 'Lodson'. Long Wuxin said.
Turning his head to look at his daughter, Long Wu suddenly smiled faintly, and said seemingly casually: "Qiqi, do you know, originally in order to win Li Xiaosen's trust and make up for the many things that Li Xingni and I had hidden from him, I thought about letting you marry him......"
Long Qi'er was stunned for a moment, and then her face quickly turned red, and she shouted......: "Little Fifth Uncle, what are you kidding? What age is it, can I make my own decisions about my love?!"
The siege was still in full swing.
Ryugo placed a protective barrier around the artificial lake to shield his senses, so that the Nightkin would not be aware of the progress of the destruction of the Resurrection Hallows.
But how could such a thing be completely hidden from the Nightkin who came for it?
Although they could not penetrate the barrier of the artificial lake, the Nightkin obviously guessed that the Daywalker Alliance had already begun the destruction of the Hallows, so they seemed to be crazy one by one, trying to break through the defense line of K City day and night.
That night, Li Xiaosen finally achieved the ultimate in the "Ability Furnace" in the basement, and with the philosophy of a battle mage, he integrated all the exclusive abilities he was currently developing into one and turned them into a simple set of physical skills.
Although there is no difference in level from when he was in the Japan Sword Gym, because of the "Ability Melting Pot", when Li Xiaosen displayed his exclusive physical skills that included all kinds of exclusive abilities, his combat effectiveness was at least doubled compared to when he was in Japan.
The cultivation of the "ability" section can be put down for a while, because there will be no room for further improvement in the short term.
As for the exclusive physical technique developed based on his own exclusive ability and then developed by the fusion of the "Ability Furnace", it was named by Li Xiaosen: Vientiane.
Although the exclusive abilities contained are limited, the kaleidoscopic combination of methods makes this set of physical techniques ever-changing and all-encompassing once they are performed.
Vientiane Body Technique, this is a unique skill for Li Xiaosen to truly break into the universe and resound through many planes and planets in the distant future.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Xiaosen went to the bedroom to look at his sleeping sister, and after kissing his sister's smooth and full forehead for a while, he quietly went out.
The cultivation of the ability section has come to an end, and it is time to do the external force section.
During this time, Li Xiaosen calmed down, followed Long Wu's instructions, and did not fight easily, but he was not idle at all, but read a large number of Taoist classics and carefully studied the technique of formation, which was related to the cultivation of the external force plate.
Li Xiaosen gave up the ancestral sword, and then had new ideas and ideas, about what kind of exclusive weapon he should choose, as the cultivation content of his external force plate, Li Xiaosen already had ideas during this time, and made enough preparations.
Walking in a low-key city surrounded by war, Li Xiaosen deliberately concealed his own atmosphere.
The weapon that Li Xiaosen planned to refine for himself was very unusual and not a weapon in the ordinary sense.
"Sure enough, it's you, Li Xiaosen......" A voice sounded not far away, it was Qianqian.
"Hello Your Highness, do you have something to do with me?" Li Xiaosen was very polite.
Qianqian's eyes darkened, and he said, "Do you still have to be so polite to me? Or are you still angry with me in your heart? blame me for setting up a game against you that day, and want to snatch the Resurrection Hallows from you......
Li Xiaosen shook his head and said, "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I'll leave first, I have something serious to deal with." ”
After saying that, he bowed to himself, and he was not slack in the number of courtesies, but it just reflected the current attitude towards humility in Li Xiaosen's heart.
Qian Qian gritted his teeth, looked at Li Xiaosen's back as he walked away quickly, and asked, "What did Mr. Long Wu tell you? Why do you look ...... now?" So trust Ryugo and Li Xingni?" She paused and lowered her voice, "I asked Hinata Miyuki to convey to you, did you receive it?"
Of course, Li Xiaosen remembered that in the Japanese Sword Gym, Miyuki Hinata and Lin Wan found themselves at the same time, and then the former stunned the latter, just to convey a humble warning: "Don't believe Li Xingni." ”
The problem is that it was Qian Qian who wanted to snatch the resurrection holy weapon from his hands not long ago, but it was Long Wu and Li Xingni who persuaded themselves and gained their trust.
Li Xiaosen turned his back to Qianqian, paused his steps, and asked, "Your Highness, the reason why you don't believe Dean Li Xingni, what is the ——??"
Qian Qian looked struggling, but after hesitating, she still gritted her teeth and whispered: "Although there is no conclusive evidence, I now suspect that the old man of the ancient martial artist who assassinated me in the ancient passage was not Liu Changsheng's subordinate, but someone sent by Li Xingni. ”
At the beginning, Qianqian was assassinated as the princess of the United Family, this is an unsolved case, and it has never been determined who is going to disadvantage Qianqian, whether it is the ruling minister at the time, Liu Changsheng, or the Night Stalker to sow discord?
It was the first time that Li Xiaosen had heard that Li Xingni had become the object of suspicion.
If it was before, Li Xiaosen would definitely turn around, spend more time, and listen to what Qianqian had to say.
But thinking of the firmness and determination of Qianqian when he set up a situation to deal with himself and his sister, Li Xiaosen replied with some negative anger: "There is no evidence, then there is no need to say more, today's words, I will treat it as if I didn't hear anything." ”
Qianqian's face was miserable, and he didn't say anything more, and he didn't follow up again.
She really has no proof.
Li Xiaosen is in the city, walking and stopping, if someone else follows him the whole time, he must not understand what he is doing.
Ordinary citizens have now all been moved to live in underground bomb shelters, and those who are still on the ground are all fighters from all over the world, not only the ancient warriors of China, Arhats, Dao Yu Warriors, Academy soldiers, and United Family soldiers, but also many other mountain gate professionals from all over the world.
It can be said that the vast majority of the elite forces in the world's professional circles are currently gathered in K City. Without it, only because the three Resurrection Hallows are here.
But Li Xiaosen didn't bother to look at the fighters who had just gone through a day of hard fighting around the city, let alone look up at the defensive fronts around the city that still didn't stop fighting even at night, since he decided to follow Long Wu's instructions and not fight before the destruction of the holy weapon, then Li Xiaosen would not be distracted.
Now, it's only my responsibility, and that's to keep my composure and make myself stronger, so that the ritual of destroying the Hallows goes smoothly and that after the destruction of the Hallows, the Nightkin will probably go completely insane.
These days, Li Xiaosen has been thinking about what weapon he chooses as his cultivation of the external force.
When he was a pure combat mage, Li Xiaosen's best skills were weapons such as short stabs, short sticks, and daggers, which could be close to the body and thrown and shot at a distance.
But after becoming a super life, the ability has improved, and the way of fighting has changed, and now Li Xiaosen has many exclusive abilities with the "Vientiane Body Technique", and the body is his best weapon, if he has to get a weapon in his hand, it will be awkward.
But you can't give up weapons because of this, after all, the cultivation of the external force plate is also an important part of the cultivation, which is directly related to the ultimate combat effectiveness.
It is no exaggeration to say that excellent external assistance can increase the actual combat effectiveness by at least 30%, which is the most conservative estimate.
Li Xiaosen was very distressed for a while, and he had no clue at all, until one day Li Xiaosen suddenly opened his mind and thought: "External force is external force, and conventional weapons are just the cultivation of external forces, the most common way, but is external force just weapons?"
Thinking about it like this, Li Xiaosen suddenly brightened.
Jumping out of the limitations of "conventional weapons", Li Xiaosen quickly thought of what he needed most to further strengthen his combat effectiveness: "Whether it is a challenge upgrade or a challenge of the same race, it must be carried out in the scarlet ring, but these two challenges are not 'combat means' in essence, but 'upgrade means'." In other words, if it weren't for the moment of escalation, it would be difficult to take advantage of the home advantage in the ring during the challenge in regular battles!"
"That'...... What if we could have a home field advantage in the ring in every battle?"
The corners of Li Xiaosen's lips hooked up with a smile, and his eyes were a little excited and expectant.
That day Long Wu not only told his own story and Li Xingni's identity, but he also carefully mentioned the power characteristics of the Night Walking Ancestor.
Li Xingni said that there are three ways to level up the Nightcrawler: the Blood Tribulation, the Race Challenge, and the Alien Challenge unique to the Night Walker Ancestor.
"Alien challenges, where you take on opponents of different classes and races, can level up if you can win them. Long Wu explained at the time, "This is the upgrade method of the Night Walking Ancestor, which was originally her unique way, but now, there is one more person in this world, and there is also such an upgrade method, and that is Li Xiaosen, you!"
Long Wu and Li Xingni arranged for Li Xiaosen to eat the ancient ability fruit, because it was not an ordinary ability fruit, but the heart of the Nocturnal Ancestor was used as a raw material and refined.
Li Xiaosen fused that fruit, and thus possessed the characteristics of the ancestor of the night walk.
Battlemage, hence the addition of the prefix "Darkspawn".
"To fight against the Nightkin is actually divided into two parts: first, there must be a strong army enough to defeat the army of Nightkin and Xing Ni, for this reason, Xing Ni and I combined my ability fruit technology and the broken inheritance of the ancient academy that Xing Ni obtained, developed the modern ability fruit, and established the cultivation academy. ”
"Second, you need to have the best combat power against the Nightcrawler Ancestor himself, so that you can deal with the worst-case scenario that may occur, which is the situation where the Nightcrawler Ancestor really recovers in some way. ”
"I, Xing Ni, and Li Xiaosen, you are the three major forces that may fight against the Night Walking Ancestor in our plan. ”
"That's the real reason why I and Xingni chose you, and I must say that you exceeded our expectations, and by a lot. The speed at which you level up, the frequency with which you take on interracial challenges, or the progress of class collection is much faster than I and Koni expected, much faster......"
- Li Xiaosen recalled what Long Wu said to himself that day, and took a deep breath.
Why is the alien challenge so strong? Why has he been able to defeat so many opponents that are difficult for him to defeat under normal circumstances in a few years? It is because Li Xiaosen enjoys a great "home advantage" in the challenge ring!
In the minds of Long Wu and Li Xingni, this is just a means of upgrading, but in Li Xiaosen's opinion, it would be a pity if the home advantage of the ring could only be used when upgrading.
Therefore, what Li Xiaosen has to do now, the "unconventional weapon" to be refined, or laid out, is a place that can be used without a challenge - the ring!
With the outer inner world as the core, and the Daomen formation as the technical support, in this K city...... No, it should be said that the entire K City is set up as its own home field, which is Li Xiaosen's plan.
This idea is too bold, and Li Xiaosen didn't tell anyone for the time being, because even if it was Long Wu, he would probably feel that it was not feasible when he heard this plan.
That day, after Li Xiaosen solved many questions, he also asked Long Wu a key question: "Why did you hide it from me before, and why did you hide it from me for so long?"
To this, Long Wu's answer was: "I actually don't want to hide it, if I can, I even hope to let you be my disciple like I did for Xiaoliu, and give you the greatest help from the moment you integrate into the fruit of the ability I made." If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have pretended to be you, hidden in your body for so long, and I wouldn't have given you directions to North America and inherit the runes. ”
"If you have the heart to guide me, why didn't you do more?" Li Xiaosen's face was strange.
Because Li Xingni disagreed. Long Wu said seriously, "Xing Ni's opinion is that you should not interfere too much in your cultivation and growth, on this point, she and I have a slight disagreement, she hopes to only give you secret support, because she feels that your cultivation path is beyond the guidance of others, after all, she and I are not battle mages." To give you an inappropriate example, if you were my child and Yuki's child, her attitude would be ...... Stocking. ”
Li Xiaosen: "Okay......"
Standing in K City at night at this time, Li Xiaosen said in his heart that what Li Xingni said was right, it was not that Li Xiaosen was conceited and thought that he didn't need the guidance of others, but that he could only walk his own cultivation path.
In the inner world, a huge amount of soul power far beyond the same level of professionals roared out, establishing a connection with the "nodes" that he had set up all over the city that originated from the Daomen formation, and then used these nodes as fulcrums little by little to create the appearance of a ring.
Li Xiaosen is like a painter, with the power of his soul, in the real world, to paint and carve a real home arena that belongs to him.
This is the fundamental meaning of the Daomen formation, and it is also the biggest gain of Li Xiaosen reading Daomen classics and preparing for shaping the home arena during this time.
The name of the home arena, Li Xiaosen has thought of it-
"Before I knew it, I had been away from my hometown for more than ten years. Before my memory fades away, let's portray what my hometown looks like. Li Xiaosen smiled, this is the biggest change in himself after talking to Long Wu, and now Li Xiaosen finally no longer resents his hometown because of the experience of his previous life, and finally let go, "So the name of this home ring is ...... 'Xiao Sen Delo'." ”
