Chapter 174: Becoming Stronger, Becoming Stronger, and Becoming Stronger
The plan to warn Marquis Philip of Sesnek was delayed by Elliot's attack, and since it was already dark, Chang Le simply set out on his return journey.
But instead of returning to Fort Stanley, he went straight to the valley where the elven troops were hidden.
It's sparsely populated, and the perimeter is guarded by Phil the Skinny Monkey's light cavalry, and the elves don't show up at all.
As the most powerful hole card in his hand, until the last moment, Changle will never shine it to the surface.
When the elven queen Pantania met her, she asked:
"You're tired, you fought a strong enemy last night?"
Chang Le nodded silently, didn't say anything, fought with Elliot all night, fighting wits and courage with great effort, and the morning was also very expensive with another "fierce battle", and now he just wanted to have a good rest.
When he came to inspect the Queen's tent, he pointed to the open space next to him and begged the Queen for permission to pitch a small tent next to each other.
Of course, the queen will not object, this territory is Changle, the camp materials are also Changle, and she is invited to come with all the respect.
Chang Le did not return to his army and chose to live with the queen, of course, for the sake of safety.
Although Elliot was seriously injured, she could recover in three or four days at most, and if she wanted to take revenge at that time, the castle walls and the army would not be able to resist it, and the only one who could help was the queen who was only one line away from the realm of the Battle Sect.
The queen once injured the war sect, and of course the losses were also very heavy, in addition to the casualties of the clan, she herself has since become a widow.
Chang Le did not agree to the queen's marriage proposal, he could not be a husband but could be a meat shield, in case Eriot attacked, he should be able to buy the queen enough time to deliver a fatal blow with the artifact holy bow.
However, he was inexplicably sad at the thought that Elliot might die, hoping that this kind of confrontation would not happen.
After settling down, Chang Le began to practice in meditation in the small tent, and now he had no time to sleep, so he could only switch to the soul of the blue wolf, which was conducive to recovering his energy, and combined the two things of cultivation and recuperation.
On his fingers, he hadn't cultivated seriously for a few months.
From defecting from the Guards and becoming a bandit, to studying Atlas teleportation, delving into Nyquist's Notes, to going into battle against the invading coalition forces and fighting to defend innocent civilians, he was too busy and focused on all kinds of stratagems and military strategies.
In terms of personal strength, because he had a body of artifacts and treasures, he really didn't meet any decent opponents, and although he had turned his face with the elf queen, he finally turned enemies into friends, so he unconsciously relaxed his cultivation.
It wasn't until last night's battle with Elliot that he felt bitterly that his strength was too far from the top of the continent, and thanks to good luck he was able to escape death.
Ordinary people have a strong body before they can work hard and support their families.
Similarly, as a soldier, especially a commander, you must first have strong personal force, otherwise you will be killed by a single blow, what strategy is there to talk about?
The fate of Noah, the famous general of the empire, is worthy of the vigilance of all soldiers!
What's more, what was Chang Le's original cultivation for, just to be strong enough to go to the place where the gods were and retrieve Sister Xue Ying's soul!
Therefore, even if you practice for a few hours today and do not actually improve, at least it is a change of attitude and a first step towards returning to your original intention of cultivation.
When he really went into meditation and carefully examined the inner universe, he realized that these "hours" should have been taken out a long time ago.
After several months of battlefield battles, although the opponents are generally weak, after all, the number is huge, and it can be regarded as "accumulation".
Coupled with last night's hard fighting, several star tracks on the periphery have already lit up slightly, and they only need to absorb source power to enrich and ignite.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the absorption speed is fast enough, he can instantly increase to level 3 or 4 and reach the next bottleneck, which is the peak battle master.
The realm of fighting spirit has reached the battle master, but the real strength is the war spirit, and the peak war spirit is already comparable to the existence of Marshal Fang Dan, only slightly weaker than the elf queen, if it is combined with all the artifacts, it is not only stronger than the queen, but also can confront Elliot head-on!
It's a pity that Chang Le's source power that needs to be accumulated and transformed is too huge, because what he uses is not pure fighting energy, but free energy of all attributes, only in this way can he switch between different talent trees and change his profession according to the needs of the next battle.
Therefore, if other cultivators are like bottles, Changle is a lake, and it is extremely difficult to raise the water level even a little bit.
Fortunately, others absorb the source power like a trickle, once Chang Le starts with all his strength, if he is not afraid of fainting, it will be a heavy rainstorm.
And at this moment, he is in a hurry to improve, so he no longer cares about any danger, the faster the better, anyway, the whole life is an adventure, and he should gamble.
Since he decided to speed up as much as possible and sharpen his knife without mistakenly chopping wood, he temporarily interrupted his meditation, took out a complete set of magic pattern drawing tools, and began to draw magic patterns that gathered the source power in the camp tent.
Chang Le lacks practical experience in making this kind of magic circle, and he can face it every day since he entered the military academy, and he is relatively familiar with it.
After several failures, it was determined that the land was uneven, so he went to the queen and asked for a blanket, the elves did not need a bed to sleep, and blankets were spread in the treehouses, so there was no shortage of this thing.
After much selection, he began to paint on one of the most open blankets, which was still the queen of elves' bedding.
The change in the size of the magic pattern will affect the resonance efficiency of the magic pattern, and the adjustment of the spacing of the magic pattern is the most troublesome project, so I had to choose a substrate that is closer to the size of the meditation room of the academy.
The queen was also very curious, thinking that the tired Chang Le would borrow a comfortable blanket to sleep, but she didn't expect this guy to pout and lie on it to draw.
When she saw that it was a magic pattern, the queen became more and more surprised, and shouted and attracted Miraya and Odysia, and the mother and daughter gathered around and talked about it.
Of course, even this is not easy to succeed, and after the circle is drawn, no magic effect is produced, and it is expected that you have to follow the line to find the disorder.
Odysia pursed her lips, scornfully mocked "pretending to be a ghost", and left on her own.
And Miraya and the queen still watched with relish.
It wasn't until near noon that the thick magic fluctuations spread, and when Chang Le closed his eyes and meditated, the gray mist around him continued to gather, and finally turned into a dark sea.
"This is the Meditation Array!" exclaimed the Queen.
Chang Lego smiled incomprehensibly, moved the blanket into the small tent, waved his hand to the elf mother and daughter outside the tent, sat quietly, closed his eyes and began to accelerate his cultivation.
The old scene reappeared, and he sank into the inky sea alone, and the last time he had this experience was in the academy.
That time, he opened himself, and suddenly ushered in a wave of anger, and fainted in an instant, because the power of the soul increased his sensitivity and widened the passage, but he did not have the strength to strengthen his body.
Since then, Chang Le has been deliberately restrained, meditating lightly, and devoting more energy to the cultivation of the beast soul, resulting in the realm of the beast soul far beyond the level of fighting qi, although the strength is strong, it lacks the support of professional talent skills.
Now that the Beast Soul and Dou Qi cultivation systems have been merged, the soul world overlaps with the Inner Universe, and the stellar "star core" condensed by this transcends the existing realm, and then forms a powerful skeleton, and its endurance is no longer the same as it was at the beginning.
Therefore, Chang Le seems to be guarding a sluice, and there is only a small pool of water in the huge valley behind him, and he is eager to see through the sweet spring.
On the opposite side of the sluice, there is an endless vast smoke wave, although it seems to be calm, but as long as the gap is opened, it will be angry in an instant, and the roar is like thunder!
He opened the sluice gates cautiously, and tried to create a stream, which seemed to be going in the right direction, and the river was solid enough to be under control, and this trickle was going to fill the valley for some unknown year and month.
Then the sluice gates were slammed, and the sound of the water was deafening, and the small stream turned into a large waterfall, rushing into the arid valley.
This scene is tense and dizzying, but it is more enjoyable and hearty!
"Get stronger, I'm going to get stronger and stronger!"
Chang Le took a deep breath and calmly greeted the rush of the tide of source power.
The surging source power is not absorbed, but "poured back" straight to the star core, receiving transformation in the star core, turning into invisible ripples and rushing to the outer star track.
The first orbit had already lit up, and the second orbit had also gradually brightened under this impact, and it was fully activated in less than an hour.
The sweet voice of the Elf Queen came to my ears:
"Congratulations, you've upgraded! What do you want to celebrate at noon?"
Others will definitely stop cultivating at this moment, let themselves slow down, and adapt to the upgraded body, and the next upgrade will not be known how long it will take.
But Chang Le did not pause, ignored the queen's words, and continued to move forward bravely, taking his attention away from the control "backflow", and concentrating on guiding the transformed energy to impact the third star track.
But at this moment, the evil consequences of rushing to achieve suddenly appeared.
The "sluice" finally collapsed under the strong impact, and then the entire embankment collapsed, and the vast smoke waves above were like a million dragons, roaring from above the nine heavens!
