Soon, Roy understood what Austin's words really meant.

The undead are tireless.

They don't need to rest, and even when they're not working, they wander aimlessly until the effects of the summoning spell wear off, and they return to dirt.

And some undead creatures summoned by permanent undead summoning magic will never disappear as long as they are not completely destroyed.

Austin, who has dealt with the undead all his life, seems to think of Roy as an undead creature as well.

In the schedule he gave Roy, there was only one time of prayer for Roy to rest each day. The rest of the time, it's all about various cultivation plans.

The first practice he assigned to Roy was striking iron.

At this moment, Roy was standing in front of a huge anvil, sweating and waving a large hammer weighing 500 kilograms, striking a piece of black cold iron pith on the anvil.

This piece of black and cold iron piceth is one of Austin's collections.

This kind of iron comes from the cold ice iron ore for thousands of years, and it is the most essential part of the veins that stretch for hundreds of miles. Usually only the size of a fist. It's hard. If it is used to craft weapons, it only needs the size of a fingernail to raise a six-star weapon to the rank of seven-star legendary.

Austin's black and cold iron chalcedony is the size of a human head and is priceless. And his request to Roy was: "Refine this piece of black cold iron pith until it is only the size of a fist." ”

When Roy heard this, he almost fainted.

This is black and cold iron pith, not Mao Tie. Hitting from the size of a head to the size of a fist is simply an impossible task.

That's not all Austin is asking for, though.

According to Austin's request, Roy had to remain in a meditative state while striking iron. Improve your Demon Fighting Power.

This Nima is terrible. When he picked up the hammer, Roy felt that the old skeleton was just playing with himself, and had no intention of letting himself out alive.

Sure enough, when Roy activated the battle ring, lifted the five-hundred-kilogram hammer, and slammed it on the black cold iron pith. The huge force of the shock almost dislocated his arms. And the black cold iron pith on the anvil did not leave even a single mark.

If he hadn't experienced divine punishment, if he hadn't heard the news of the demon invasion, this hammer was enough to make Roy feel what despair was.

But now, for Roy, who had already felt even deeper despair, it had fueled his competitive spirit.

Fuck, isn't it just a piece of iron?!

Roy picked up the hammer. The second hammer was smashed, then the third, the fourth...... The whole time, he didn't look up at Austin.

Hammer after hammer.

It wasn't until hundreds of hammers smashed into the same position that Roy saw the slightest trace on the black cold iron pith.

And at this time, his arms could no longer be lifted.

Growing up in a dwarven dungeon, coupled with the time spent as an apprentice with Daddy Ken, Roy is no stranger to striking iron. In fact. As far as the skill of striking iron is concerned, his ability even surpasses that of most high-level blacksmiths. You can touch the edge of the master.

It may be difficult for someone else to pick a hammer. But Roy has mastered the art of hammering, and even if he does it for a day, he will be fine.

However, this did not help him in any way.

In order to refine this piece of black cold iron pith, it must be calcined until it turns red, and then forge it with all your might a few minutes before it cools down.

It's a process of bursting out with all its power in an instant. Moreover, this kind of outbreak, although it is not long, is not short, and I want to persevere. It's not as simple as you think.

In the process, Roy must be in full swing. It's even more desperate than him and Tie Lun and others.

After a few rounds, Roy felt that his body was almost falling apart, and his arms were simply not his own. But even then, he failed to meet Austin's basic requirement of forging and meditating at the same time.

For thousands of years, the cultivation of magicians has relied on meditation to enhance their magical powers.

Meditation requires a very quiet environment, and it needs to perceive the energy of heaven and earth with spiritual power, and trigger a wave of spiritual power of heaven and earth, absorb it, and transform it into its own magic power.

It's like swimming in a rough tide, and if you're not careful, you may suffer backlash.

Therefore, the magician's magic tower is heavily defended, and various traps are densely packed, in addition to protecting his wealth, secrets, and research results, and more importantly, to avoid being disturbed or attacked while meditating.

A magician in a meditative state is simply more fragile than a defenseless child.

Austin, on the other hand, asked to enter a meditative state while striking iron. It's as incredible as asking a person to sleep and work at the same time. It's completely contrary to the rules of meditation that have existed for thousands of years.

Roy believed that Austin would not harm himself, but he also did not understand how to enter into meditation in the midst of such vigorous movements.

Roy didn't bother with this, though.

He just focused on wielding the hammer in his hand, again and again.

The hammer is heavy. The weight of a full five hundred kilograms is already the limit of the weapons that a fair one-star knight can use. In battle, the power of the just knight's burst may be far greater than five hundred kilograms. Even a single punch can knock over a giant beast weighing several tons.

However, to use a weapon consistently is two different things.

With every swing, Roy had to push the truth to the extreme, pushing the source force into fighting energy, and the four battle rings rotated at full speed to have enough power to control the hammer.

Otherwise, not only will you not be able to pick it up a few times, but you may even get injured.

In the beginning, Roy was just striking iron. After the first hammer, every cell in the body must be mobilized for a second hammer. It is simply impossible to have any other idea of action.

Roy is well aware that his power is limited. If you want to continue to forge the black cold iron pith, you must ensure the power transfer between each hammer, you must pay great attention to the control of your breathing, you must keep the logic running smoothly, and you must also accurately ensure the consistency of your movements.

If you are a little negligent, the next hammer may consume more fighting energy and body, or it may fail because of the deformation of the action.

Roy has always been stingy in this regard. The days of exile when he was a child have long been accustomed to giving the least amount of effort. Get the most out of it. Otherwise, he would have died in the snowy wasteland, in the midst of a failed hunt of hunger and cold.

Roy spent three full days standardizing his movements, calculating the amount of force needed for each hammer and distributing his body and fighting energy reasonably.

After the black cold iron pith is calcined in the iron furnace, the time available for beating. It's fifteen minutes. If it were a normal hammer, Roy could wield hundreds of hammers. Even dozens of hammers are hit in a second. But now, he can only hit thirty hammers at most, and he is already exhausted.

Not only is the hammer heavy, but the shock force generated by the hardness of the black cold iron pulp is also unbearable.

And when he entered the third day, Roy found that there were some changes in his body.

First of all. It was he who felt the hammer in his hand become lighter. It's still heavy, but at least it's a lot lighter than when I first lifted the hammer.

Secondly, he felt that his control over the hammer was getting stronger and stronger. In the past, one of the three hammers must have deviated, but now, it takes six or seven hammers to have the same situation. Moreover, the resolution of the power of the anti-earthquake has also been improved a lot.

And the most intuitive change. It is an increase in the number of hammers. From thirty hammers to thirty-one hammers, to thirty-two ....... now. Roy was already able to hit thirty-nine hammers in a row!

But that's not all.

Most importantly, after experiencing the impetuousness of the early stage, Roy gradually felt a wonderful tranquility as he swung the hammer with full attention again and again.

It seems that the whole world is concentrated on the hammer in his hand. The sound of hammers and black cold iron pulp colliding. The splashing spark is the whole of life.

On the fourth day, Roy, who was in this state, felt the spiritual power of heaven and earth flowing beside him for the first time.

The hammer was still pounding on the anvil again and again, but Roy's mind was up. But it entered a state of emptiness. The heat emitted by the furnace, the sparks splashed under the hammer, the wind blowing, and the energy emitted by all things in heaven and earth are all so clear.

Gradually, Roy had forgotten the hammer in his hand, and a wonderful sense of harmony began to emerge in his movements. It seems that every wave is synchronized with the breath of heaven and earth.

A little spiritual power enters the body through breathing, nourishes the bones and blood, and strengthens the source power.

At the same time, the tide of heaven and earth's spiritual power also began to surge towards Roy in waves as the hammer was raised. Washing away his spiritual power, it merges into the sea of knowledge, and turns into magical power.

Although for the first time, this state only lasted for a short minute, Roy was shocked to find that in this minute, he had swung a full eleven hammers, and the consumption of source power was less than one-tenth of the same amount before.

Fighting energy and magic power are simultaneously enhanced in the form of reasoning and meditation.

This is the real Demon Martial Arts Double Cultivation!

Whew, after a round of forging, Roy put down the hammer in his hand, and sent the black cold iron pith on the anvil into the iron furnace with huge iron tongs.

Clapping his hands, he opened a wooden box next to him, and put two of the fire-based sixth-level magic crystals into the magic pattern circle of the iron furnace, replacing the two pieces that had exhausted his magic power before, Roy relaxed, rubbed his sore shoulders, and stared at the black cold iron pith in the flames.

It's been seven days, and so far, this piece of black cold iron pith has only been smashed flat in a piece the size of a thumb. Most of the rest remains the same.

This had to leave Roy feeling a little frustrated.

However, the frustration is only a flash of thought, and then it disappears. Looking down at his hands, Roy could clearly feel the power within.

This is my biggest gain.

By now, Roy had been able to meditate for two minutes during the exercise.

Although it only took two minutes, the increased fighting energy and magic power were simply insignificant compared to a complete meditation. However, Roy clearly felt his extraordinary efficiency. If you convert it to normal meditation, these two minutes are equivalent to about ten minutes.

Exactly five times over!

And that's not the main thing. The important thing is that this cultivation method of entering a meditative state during intense exercise is itself a direct improvement of combat effectiveness. Imagine how powerful it would be to be able to keep fighting if you could replenish your magic and fighting energy in battle.

Such a guy is definitely an opponent that anyone fears.

Not to mention...... The corners of Roy's mouth hooked up a smile. A magic pattern like a meridian vein hidden under the skin loomed on his chest.

Gathering Stars.

In the days since the completion of this magic pattern, the entire Dragon Taboo has been fully integrated into Roy's body. It's like you were born and raised here, and you can't see the slightest hint from the outside.

No matter what Roy was doing, the star was running with the beating of his heart. As long as the heart does not stop, it will continuously transform the spiritual power of heaven and earth into magical power. Although the speed is not particularly fast, at the end of the day, it is roughly equivalent to Roy's meditation for six prayers.

When he first saw this magic pattern, even Austin was silent for a long time, muttering a curse in his mouth. Although he couldn't hear it too clearly, Roy could clearly feel the old skeleton's jealousy.

If it weren't for the fact that the undead were already another life form, I'm afraid Austin would inevitably do something shocking like killing a giant dragon and stripping a dragon taboo.

Roy closed his eyes and probed his body with internal vision.

As the heart beats, the Demon Star in his chest is like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing spiritual power. And these spiritual powers are washing away spiritual power all the time.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Carol is unable to release her perception despite having the Demon Star. However, for Roy, who has the eye of the elements and whose spiritual power has been baptized by the frenzy of heaven and earth energy brought by the ruling spirit, it is just a continuous grinding.

This made his mental power stronger and stronger.

The source force vortex in the lower abdomen has increased a lot. The source power of the fighting demons, which was like sand and dust, became more condensed.

And more importantly, if in the past, Roy's own meridians and qi and blood were the bottleneck that limited the source power of the fighting demon, then now, this bottleneck is gradually being broken with the enhancement of muscle and blood.

Roy walked over to a demon puppet next to him, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and threw a punch.

The puppet roared and withdrew eleven meters.

This was designed by Austin specifically for Roy to test his strength. This kind of puppet is different from the puppet in the real world, but really uses the power of the demon clan on the final battlefield. For every meter of repulsion, it represents 10,000 strength. This means that Roy's punch has reached 110,000 strength!

Ordinary and fair one-star knights, it is forty thousand strength. On average, there are roughly 10,000 strength per battle ring.

And when promoted to the Knight of Glory, after having eight battle rings, it will be increased to 100,000 strength. After that, every time the Dou Qi is raised by two layers, it will increase by one star, and it can rise by 20,000 strength.

To the Great Bright Knight, it is 200,000 strength!

Roy was able to defeat Tie Lun and the others before, and in terms of strength, he also exceeded 100,000 strength.

Especially after turning into an angry warrior, the power of the full force of the blow has approached 150,000 jin. Now this punch is 110,000 strength, which seems not surprising.

However, this is just the most innocent and ordinary punch.

He didn't use the sword technique of fighting for his life, he didn't use the thunder axe method, and he didn't even use the wind and thunder artillery.

Just the purest power...... Today, I got together with the original editor Jelly and a few authors, and I tried my best to find an opportunity to write these thousands of words, and I wrote it until 11 o'clock in the evening with grilled fish. It turned out that there was a problem with the laptop network card, and I couldn't get on the network, and after I got home, I didn't think much about it, and I directly clicked on the recovery system. And then there was tragedy...... Fortunately, only a little more than a thousand words were lost. I'm sweating all over now. Asking for a monthly ticket to suppress the shock...... (To be continued......)
