Chapter Ninety-Nine: Refining and Armament (2-in-1)
Mo Jing chose to start refining from the five givers, just to see what the difference between artificial Devil Fruit refining and real Devil Fruit refining.
So the first one, I chose the soul I didn't value the most.
"Soul Refining" - "Solid Beetle - Soul of the Chrysalis Man"
Soul Supply: 5000
Soul Required: 1000
Soul Consumption: 6000
The clenched left hand trembled slightly, and sparks floated out of his fingers.
Maybe it's because of the increase in the level of "Soul Refining", or maybe the quality of the artificial Devil Fruit is not as good as the real Devil Fruit, this time the degree of refining is not as drastic as the refining of the left hand is not as drastic as the previous refining into a real Devil Fruit.
Mo Jing closed his eyes, carefully experienced the process, and manipulated the refining.
In terms of soul volume, the souls of artificial Devil Fruits and true Devil Fruit abilities are the same, both of which are capped at 5,000, but because his soul refining level has increased, the amount of souls required has been further reduced, but the upper limit of consumption is still 6 times the lowest level.
According to Mo Jing's summary, the multiple of this upper limit should be judged according to the strength of the soul itself.
He is now casually refining the soul of a sea fish, and the upper limit is about 1~3 times the minimum consumption, the stronger the soul, the higher the upper limit, and the higher the quality of the refining items.
It didn't take long for the refining to end, and a string of information appeared in Mo Jing's mind.
.
a. Artificial Devil Fruit - Worm Pupa
b. Medium-sized physique crystal*3
c. Worm healing (gauze 3/3)
d. Weapon (Artificial Devil Fruit - Worm Chrysalis)
e. Trait Essence: Pupae - Self-healing
f. Essence of Life: Worm-Man
.
Mo Jing rang for a moment, this artificial devil fruit really has something!
Although the refining options have not increased, there are many new tricks!
Needless to say, A, B and D are the old three,
"Worm Healing (Gauze)" is the first time that Mo Jing has refined a special consumable, and the information in his mind is as obscure as ever:
"If the silk thread on the dead chrysalis and the gauze woven into it are used to wrap the wound, even if it is a bleeding heart, you can get a little comfort."
Only...... I don't know very much, but it should be able to heal wounds at a high speed, after all, the former and current chrysalis people have shown this ability.
Then there is the "Trait Essence: Chrysalis - Self-Healing" that replaces the trait, which is a new option that increases with the increase in the level of "Soul Refinery" of Mojing, and it is not difficult to see from the name that it is something similar to "Life Essence", which can improve the effect of the same nature trait.
For example, one of the characteristics of the Ink Vite, the Initial Fire, has a self-healing effect, which is just in line with the "Chrysalis - Self-healing", after fusing the essence of this trait, the self-healing effect of the Initial Fire will be further enhanced, and it will show the characteristics of being biased towards the pupa (after burning, the wound surface will leave a layer of hard worm armor that can be peeled off)
It is a type that needs to be carefully considered.
Anyway, Mo Jing would not let anything pollute the Initial Fire, this was his most fundamental strength.
The last "Life Essence: Worm-Man" is very easy to understand, it is a combination of insects and human life essence, and you can see from this strange structure that it should be a specialty of artificial devil fruits.
On the whole, the soul of the person with the artificial Devil Fruit ability is still inferior to the soul of the person with the real Devil Fruit ability, and the "special consumables" and "trait essence" are more like castrated versions of "accessories" and "traits", but they also have their own characteristics, and they are not too much worse, and they belong to the level that ordinary refining and patting horses can't catch up.
After thinking about it carefully, Mo Jing finally decided to refine it into an "Artificial Devil Fruit-Worm Chrysalis".
In terms of self-healing, he already has the initial fire, and the icing on the cake is not very useful, but instead to study the difference between the refining of artificial Devil Fruits and the refining of real Devil Fruits, which will help to improve the level of "Soul Refinery" and deepen his understanding of Devil Fruits.
Soon, he slowly "pulled" an apple-like fruit with a red background and yellow spots from the ring mark on his left palm.
- Artificial Devil Fruit - Chrysalis!
He closed his eyes and savored the process, gradually frowning.
If the refining of the Devil Fruit is carefully selected, and various precious ores are arranged and aggregated together according to a special law, it gives people the feeling of order and exquisiteness.
Then the refining of the artificial devil fruit is much rougher, directly combining all kinds of messy ores roughly, making people feel rough and messy.
Mo Jing thoughtfully,
When refining Chloe's soul, he had come to the conclusion that the Devil Fruit was also made of souls, but the ingredients were not only souls, and they should be some kind of soul-related products just like the soul weapons he had refined into soul weapons.
Looking back at this conclusion now, there is a new speculation - perhaps, the Devil Fruit is not composed of a single soul like a soul weapon, but a special whole composed of many souls.
The difference between a man-made and a real Devil Fruit, perhaps...... Is it only the disorder and order, the irregularity, the chaos and the singularity that make up the soul?
Mo Jing shook his head, speculating that this step was already the limit, maybe when the "Soul Refining" level was raised again, he would have a chance to get a glimpse of more truths.
However, this is enough to make him look forward to continuing like this, maybe one day he will really be able to refine the Devil Fruit as he wants...... Even the "Supreme Gold Power Enhancement Collection Plus Edition Devil Fruit" is not impossible.
He jumped onto the back of the huge koi at the bow of the boat, sat down cross-legged against the sea breeze, and continued his practice.
Of the remaining four souls, the first three souls for the giver did not give anything too good, and there were a few that he looked down on:
"Four-Fingered Hedgehog - The Soul of the Hedgehog Man" - Spiked Lead Bullet (10 pieces)
Description: Buckshot full of spikes explodes immediately upon contact with blood, perhaps giving pain to flesh and blood is the original meaning of spikes.
"Redclaw Rainforest Scorpion - The Soul of the Scorpion Man" - A large crystallization of power
"Giraffe Shovel - The Soul of the Beetle" - The crystallization of a large physique
Mo Jing refined them all, and used the strength and physique crystals on the spot—basically feeling some changes.
Playing with the "spiked buckshot" from the hedgehog man in his hand, he touched his chin and thought about it, and called Xingsa.
In fact, what he is looking forward to the most is the "Trait Essence", but the essence refined is all defensive nature, and among his many characteristics, none of them are defensive in nature, the "Deep Sea Overlord" is an all-round improvement, but Mo Jing wants an essence that improves attack or agility.
It's a pity that the "trait essence" can't add multi-attribute bonuses, and after adding defense, you can't add essences such as attacks, and I don't know if it will change with the increase of his soul refining level in the future.
"Captain, what's the matter?" Xingsa looked up at the ink thorn on the statue on the bow of the ship.
Even in his leisure time, the boatman always pays attention to his own neatness, with his black hair neatly combed, a white shirt tucked into brown suit pants, cuffs slightly rolled up to expose his arms, a tall and thin figure and square glasses on the bridge of his nose, which give him a sense of read-alike sanity and coldness.
The sea breeze stirred his hair slightly, blowing away the sawdust between his fingers—he was probably reinventing his crossbow again.
In his spare time, he is either reading poetry or doing all kinds of woodworking in his carpentry room.
Mo Jing threw the Spiked Lead Bullet to him and asked, "How is it, can you copy it?" ”
Xingsa observed carefully for a while, asked Mo Jing for specific information, and found a fish from the kitchen to test one, and finally came to the conclusion - no!
"It's not just a mechanical structure or the kinetic energy of gunpowder." Xingsa explained that there were occult principles that he could not understand, "If you change to a structure of gunpowder and spikes, you should be able to achieve a similar effect, but if you want to ensure the power, the volume will definitely increase, and maybe it will ...... with a blasting bullet"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, pushed his glasses, and looked at Mo Jing sharply: "Captain, do you want Gafidel to shoot this kind of cannonball?" ”
Mo Jing nodded.
Sure enough, talking to smart people is easy.
The road to learning weapons for this girl is very bumpy, although she has been able to skillfully transform into various cold weapons, but once it comes to hot weapons with precise structures such as guns, she will be blindfolded, and she will not be able to learn anything.
Except for her favorite cannon, she can't even turn a gun out now.
Mo Jing thought about it, and felt that if it couldn't be changed, it couldn't be changed, isn't the so-called cannon just a thick gun?
As the saying goes, big is beautiful, more is good, caliber is justice, and range is truth, why don't you let her go to the extreme on the road of cannons, isn't this much better than guns?
However, in this case, the type of shells and the design of the barrel will have to be worked on.
The "Spiked Buckshot" is a good example, and many versatile shells can be developed from this model.
Xingsa looked thoughtful, as if he had suddenly figured something out, and left the main deck with the rest of the ammunition.
Mo Jing watched his back disappear down the stairs, took out the last soul for the endower, and continued to refine it carelessly.
After the first few souls, he no longer had any expectations for the "Pink Rhino-Rhino Soul of the Rhino Man".
He thought to himself that maybe he could refine it into another fruit, and use it as a decapitated meal for those special talents in the future, so as to increase the explosion rate of special talents, such as Chloe......
however
After a few seconds, his eyes gradually widened.
- "Mystery Force"!
Artificial Devil Fruit is still out of this thing?
Mo Jing regretted wasting his first three souls for a while.
Ever since his Flowing Water Sword Technique entered the house, he had never refined the "Mystery Water" from the soul of the fish, because his perception of water had completely surpassed those stupid fish, but he didn't expect that after half a year, he actually refined another mystery from the artificial devil fruit!
All of a sudden it hurts a little heartache!
Fortunately, when he thought about it, a huge group of Hundred Beast Pirates was still waiting for him in the New World, and there was also the artificial Devil Fruit technology of the Don Quixote family waiting for him to retrieve, and when he thought about it, he felt a lot better.
There are still a lot of good people in this world!
Putting away the mystical crystals for the time being, Mo Jing glanced at the last four remaining souls, and decided to refine them all before slowly comprehending the swordsmanship.
Compared to the previous five souls of the artificial devil fruit ability, on the contrary, the remaining four souls he had already thought of a purpose.
The souls of the rat and the buffalo are kept, spare.
"Soul Forge" - "Banner Man - Diamanti's Soul"
Soul Required: 1000
Soul Consumption: 6000
.
a. Fluttering fruit
b. Domineering crystallization - armed color - Diamanti
c. Medium-sized power crystals*8
d. Flexible Humility (Raw Hat)
e. Weapon (Fluttering Fruit)
f. Trait: Soft
g. Essence of Life: Human
.
"Flexible Humility" is a frayed hat like a chieftain's feather hat, which has the effect that when others affirm a certain ability, your ability is weakened, and when the enemy denies you, this ability is enhanced.
It is a must-have for poisoned milk!
"Characteristic: Rejoicing" can greatly enhance the flexibility of the body, and can also make the hair on the whole body smoother, which does not look like a trait refined from Diamanti, but like a trait refined from the "Fluttering Fruit".
Thinking of the "Trait Essence" in the previous refining, Mo Jing realized that he was afraid that his current self had been able to strip some of the characteristics from the Devil Fruit.
It's like peeling an onion,
At this pace, I'm afraid that before he can refine the Devil Fruit, he will be able to refine the Devil Fruit into his body as a trait, and I don't know if there is such a day, will that Devil Fruit disappear directly from this world......
Mo Jing looked at the undulating water like silk, and was a little distracted for a while, until Zhuo Yi fell on his head, he came back to his senses, and without any hesitation, he chose "Domineering Crystallization - Armed Color - Diamanti".
He's been beaten enough by the domineering powerhouse, and now it's time to break the cycle and turn over and be the master!
When I closed my eyes, an inexplicable realization rose from my heart, and the sea breeze blew in my face, as if I wanted to sweep all my troubles into the wind and take them away together.
When he opened his eyes again, all kinds of complicated emotions flashed in those dark eyes, and everything he had experienced since he had grown up flashed quickly in his heart like a rolling dark yellow film, and he sighed softly and sank into the vast sea of heart.
The pitch-black iron color emerged from his hands and spread all the way to half of his chest, this is the armed color domineering that Diamanti has cultivated so far.
It can only be said that the qualifications are dull and unbearable.
But...... Barely works!
Mo Jing held it with his hand, trying to flow the domineering energy on his body towards the knife body.
According to the experience taught by Koshiro, the use of armed color domineering can be roughly divided into three stages:
In the first stage, it is simply attached to the surface of the body to achieve the effect of hardening the body and increasing the attack power.
The second stage is to be able to flow the weapon colors that are not used elsewhere to the places where they are needed when they are in battle, and defend, or make the attack more powerful, that is, the basic "winding" or "flowing cherry blossom", which Karp's lieutenant Bogart showed in front of Mo Jing.
At that time, Mo Jing only felt creepy, and he didn't dare to take the opponent's attack head-on.
The third stage is to be able to wrap a large amount of armed color domineering around the body surface, or weapons, to the extent of "invisible armor", in this state, the attack power will also be greatly increased, and even internal damage to the enemy.
At present, the only one who has shown this kind of realm in front of Mo Jing is Karp, and Karp's fist can beat him to the point of bursting his internal organs without even touching him completely.
Diamanti's use of domineering skills only stayed in the first stage, but Mo Jing was confident that he could use the second stage of domineering entanglement.
For no other reason, the so-called "power of the heart" is actually a specialized branch of soul power, and Mo Jing, as early as two and a half years in Imro Town, learned how to spread the initial fire that burned the soul to the blade!
Gradually, a dark and shiny metallic luster spread on the blade, and the slowly light red blade was dyed pitch black.
Mo Jing raised the long knife and laughed happily, at this moment, in his infrared vision, a large amount of energy flowed on the knife body, and the entire blade became golden red, like holding a laser sword, although it was not as bright as Bogart that day, but there was and there was no qualitative difference!
Now, even if he doesn't use the "gap", he is confident that he will cut Sasaki in the form of a man and beast into a chiff, and there will be no fat on it...... If the opponent does not use the color defense.
No, we have to find someone to fight!
Mo Jing jumped off the bow of the boat and walked towards the cabin, shouting as he went:
"Ah Jin, Ah Jin is not there?"
