Chapter 116: Soul Skill Pavilion
After the battle, Cao Lie returned to his room.
Closing the door, he prepared to drive the life mark implanted in his body, and repair and heal his wounds by burning qi, blood, and life force.
The cost of this is that the body functions will age prematurely, and it is a way to squeeze the potential of the future, but at least it allows him to repair the damaged body quickly.
There is no treatment for wound infections here, and when the fifth game arrives in a month's time, he will definitely die.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Covering his wounds and getting up, he opened the door to find the green kappa standing outside.
I saw it holding a green tray in its hand, standing on tiptoe and holding the tray high above its head, and a spiritual plant with a strong medicinal fragrance was placed inside:
"Brave warrior, this is a gift from the wrathful gods, the gods heal the spiritual plant."
"And?" Seeing the kappa and the ground grass in its hand, Cao Lie was stunned.
"A warrior who can experience three victories in the arena has already received the initial approval of the Raging God, and will receive a divine healing herb at the end of every competitive battle in the future...... This is not difficult for the great angry God, who longs for the strong and the challenged, and the precious spiritual plants are only tools for cultivating the strong in His eyes. ”
After listening to Kappa's explanation, Cao Lie sighed in his heart.
From this point of view, this guy is really a waste, throwing precious level 6 resources on these doomed competitive fighters.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this was a way for the Raging God to increase his strength.
Spirit Plants can make competitive fighters live longer and create more exciting fights for them.
The investment of this kind of resources is essentially in exchange for strength, which is a completely different way of exchanging resources for strength from human research and development of civilization technology.
Taking the spirit plant, stuffing it into and chewing it, Cao Lie leaned on the edge of the door frame and looked down at the kappa:
"How long have you been here, and how old are you among the followers of the Raging God?"
"Me?" Kappa put down the tray and pointed to his nose with a somewhat wooden expression.
"It's just me and you, of course I'm asking you."
In response to the inquiry, Kappa was silent for a short time and then spoke:
"There is no ranking of believers in the Wrath God, I have been here for 285 years, and I have served a total of 124 competitive fighters, and the strongest of the competitive fighters I served fell in the Arena of the Gods, and most of the rest fell in the third arena...... Before that, I was a planter in the Raging Spirit Plantation, and I was qualified to serve in the arena because of my excellent performance, and my ultimate dream is to train a competitive fighter for the Raging God who can give him all his might, and I am working towards this goal. ”
just asked casually, but he didn't expect the simple kappa to tell all about his situation, which made Cao Lie a little surprised, so he continued to ask:
"You have served 124 competitive fighters, you should have a certain understanding of the potential of fighters, how many arenas do you think I can climb?"
In the face of the inquiry, Kappa raised his head and looked at it carefully, his expression a little hesitant.
"But it doesn't hurt to say, I don't care."
"I think you have enough potential to step into the Arena of the Gods and put on a great battle for the Wrathful God."
"I feel like you're fooling me, it's not your inner thoughts at all." Cao Lie grinned.
"I don't have any idea of cheating, your potential seems endless to me, try to climb to the top and challenge the God of Wrath."
"You really didn't lie to me?"
"Nope."
"Then you swear to the wrath of the god to prove that you have not deceived me."
Looking at the kappa whose bodies were trembling and was already about to cry, Cao Lie laughed:
"Okay, you go get busy, I won't tease you."
The kappa breathed a sigh of relief, apparently swearing to the Angry God that it had touched the bottom of its soul.
Turning around and closing the door, Cao Lie looked down at the sides of his injured waist and abdomen.
Under the healing of the drug, the wound has scabbed off at this time, and the skin is as smooth as ever.
While the effects of the medicine were still swimming in his body, he decided to start a new round of physical training.
……
The clock was 26 days later.
Cao Lie came to the arena again.
To his surprise, this time the opponent was the alien force "Senyu Clan", which had fought against the Human Empire.
It is about 1.5 meters tall, its skin is a grayish-brown color similar to that of tree bark, and its eyes are a deep emerald green.
A pair of elongated ears resemble the elves depicted in the story, and the most obvious feature is the hair, which is different from the soft, slender hair of humans, which is thick like vines and wraps around the top of their heads.
Although the body structure is similar to that of humans, many differences can be discerned.
Unlike him, who only wears a pair of pants on his upper body, the warrior of the Senyu tribe wears clothes woven from bark fibers, which show natural textured colors, and he also wears some kind of jewelry made by the dried spirit plant on his chest, which exudes a faint fragrance.
According to the introduction issued by the Famine Legion, the Sen language people love nature, and every decoration on their bodies symbolizes their awe and gratitude for nature.
His Famine Legion had a brief fight with the Sen-speaking people over an island of rare resources.
The end result was that the Mori tribes withdrew after being crushed by the Famine Legion, relinquishing the resources they had occupied.
Cao Lie didn't expect that he would meet the Senyu warrior again here.
The Human Empire will collect information about the hostile forces when it fights against any force, and even send the corpses of the warriors of the hostile race to the main city of Emperor Xiu for dissection and study through the spatial teleportation square, so as to find the weaknesses of the hostile forces.
He had read the detailed interpretation of the Senyu clan issued by the Famine Legion, which clearly mentioned that the Achilles heel of the Senyu clan was at the top of the skull, shrouded in vine hair, and it was a dark green ball of flesh, which was equivalent to the heart of a human being.
Clearly knowing the opponent's weaknesses made Cao Lie a little more confident in this battle.
When the characters above the arena turned red, Cao Lie and the Senyu warriors shot at the same time.
The Senyu warrior spread his slender arms, revealing thick palms with tiny hooks growing from his fingertips.
This was originally the help of the Mori language people to climb in the dense jungle, but at this moment it has become a combat tool.
At this moment, Cao Lie's whip leg twisted with his crotch and pulled towards the head of the Senyu warrior.
In the field of weapons, an inch is long and an inch is strong, and so is the body.
When using the body as a weapon, the length and strength of the legs are destined to be more lethal than the fists, but the disadvantages are also obvious, once the legs are restricted, it is easy to affect the body's center of gravity, and the combat tolerance rate is low.
Syllable!
A crisp thud sounded, and his whip leg was resisted by the Senyu warrior's raised hand, but his body still leaned to one side.
At this moment, the Senyu warrior suddenly reached out and grabbed his legs.
Cao Lie, who had been prepared, stomped on the ground with his left leg, using his strength to float in the air, and while retracting his right leg, a left forward kick hit the head of the Senyu warrior again.
Syllable!
After pumping out the sound again, the Mori warrior shook his head.
After being hit hard in a row, it didn't follow Cao Lie's rhythm at all, and after stabilizing its body, it pounced on Cao Lie, knocking him to the ground, and its claws fell as quickly as a meat cleaver.
Realizing that there was no chance of victory with skill, the Senyu warrior opted for close entanglement, trying to kill Cao Lie through strength and claws.
When he was entangled, the joint technique could not be used, and Cao Lie was instantly suppressed.
Every time the claws fell, blood splattered, and after trying to break free one after another to no avail, a trace of anger appeared in Cao Lie's eyes.
If you only block it with your hands, you will definitely die if you continue like this.
The life mark in his body burst into light, his qi and blood were surging and burning, and he chose to burn his life force to fight again.
His muscles tightened under the strengthening, and after he raised his arms to resist the claws again, his scarred arm stuck the arm of the Senyu warrior, and his body violently exerted force, throwing the Senyu warrior who was riding on his body out.
After leaping up from the ground to stabilize his figure, his right leg slammed into the head of the Senyu warrior.
Syllable!
The blow of the whip was so powerful that it knocked the Senyu warrior to the ground.
Then there is a storm of continuous suppression of the attack, raise the knee and turn the hip, with the help of the whip to hit the head, Cao Lie's waist in the offensive state carries the core of strength, the two thighs are the extension of strength, the calf is like a whip rope, and the foot surface is the whip tip, with the help of twisting the waist and cutting the crotch in turn, and constantly increasing the strength.
Every time the whip leg landed, it crushed the ground with the sole of the foot as the axis, and broke out again.
This is his improved fighting style based on the hand-to-hand combat techniques taught by the instructors at the school.
Under his lifeless attack, the vine wrap on the head of the Sen Yu clan was broken, and the dark green heart exploded with a blow.
When the Senyu warriors fell to the ground and died, Cao Lie stopped attacking.
Sweat was like rain, and after the right foot hit the ground, it was a pain in the heart, and when I looked down, I found that the epidermis on the surface of my right leg and foot had been torn, revealing the white bones.
When the characters above the ring changed, Cao Lie limped down the passage and walked towards the room with a limp.
15 minutes away, incredibly long.
The stabbing pain in his heart made him realize that this leg was about to die, and more seriously, the severe blood loss and excessive consumption of life force made him feel strongly dizzy, and he felt that he might faint on the road at any time.
Fortunately, he insisted on returning to the room.
This time he didn't close the door, leaning against the wall and sitting on the bed, gasping for the kappa's arrival.
When his vision was ghosted, he saw a kappa holding a tray appear at the door.
"Give it to me!"
Cheering up, Cao Lie spoke.
When Kappa heard this, he immediately came to him with a tray.
Cao Lie immediately grabbed the spirit plant on the tray, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
As the cooling sensation slides down the throat, the weak body is moisturized, and the dizziness is reduced.
When he swallowed the elixir, his tense body finally let go.
Intense tiredness hit him like a tidal wave, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore and leaned against the wall and fell into a stupor.
……
After some time, Cao Lie woke up and found the kappa still standing in front of the bed with a tray.
Stepping out of bed, Cao Lie twisted his body.
Suddenly, there was a "crackling" sound from his body, and when he looked down, the wounds on his body had healed.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
He asked, looking at the kappa.
"You have achieved five victories, and according to the rules set by the Furious God, you have a chance to go to the Soul Skill Pavilion, and I will take you there for the first time."
"Let's go, then."
After stretching his body, Cao Lie immediately nodded.
Looking at the kappa who turned around and led the way, Cao Lie had a slight impression of him.
After several encounters, he found that this kappa was very simple-minded, and all that was in his mind was his belief in the God of Wrath and the completion of the tasks commanded by the God of Wrath.
The open sea world of hundreds of millions of races is full of deceitful battles, and there are very few people like Kappa.
Nearly an hour away, he followed the kappa to a tall tower outside the arena.
Kappa stopped in front of the tower and opened his mouth to spit out a blue sigil at him, merging with his body:
"This is the Soul Skill Pavilion, where you can learn the lifelong inheritance left by those who have challenged the furious gods."
"You're not going in?" Cao Lie asked curiously.
"The wrath of God has said, 'A vile slave like me is not worthy to enter the temple of warriors, and this is an insult to warriors."
"You're not angry?"
"Why are you angry, those who can imprint what they have learned all their lives in the Soul Skill Pavilion are the most powerful warriors, I am not a warrior, I should not have entered." Kappa nodded as a matter of course.
"I'm afraid you've been brainwashed by the God of Wrath."
"Empty belief in God will be brainwashed, that kind of god will only weave lies to ask for the benefits created by believers, and my faith has brought me substantial hope for survival and the value of life, such faith should not be described as brainwashing, my loyalty is a reward for His gifts."
Kappa's words made Cao Lie stunned, he didn't expect Kappa to see faith so thoroughly.
"In fact, my race has also had a huge territory and countless resource islands in history, and it has risen and fallen in endless expansion wars, but the dynasty is not eternal, and my race has come to an end in a battle, if it weren't for the angry gods who gave our race the opportunity to choose loyalty, I would not have been born...... My faithful faith in the wrath of God is also burdened with the gratitude of my ancestors to Him. ”
Speaking of which, Kappa stretched out his hand and pointed to the translucent energy barrier in front of him:
"Go in, go inside to find the traces of the strong, and follow the path they have traveled to find an opportunity to become the strongest."
Cao Lie nodded when he heard this, and walked through the transparent energy barrier outside the Soul Skill Pavilion.
The resistance dissipated, revealing three statues.
The first statue had two wings on its back, and its hideous form looked like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell, its crimson skin burning at any moment, and its sharp claws piercing deep into the ground, as if it wanted to hold the whole world in the palm of its hand.
Printed under the statue is a line of words:
Huo Diao:
Arena Record: 123 wins to set foot in the Arena of the Gods.
Arena of the Gods record: 98 wins-3 losses
His gaze swept to the second statue, which was a huge giant, covered in ice, as if it was one with the ice and snow, his eyes flashed with cold light, his huge body seemed to be carved from ice, each ice crystal reflected the cold light, and the war hammer in his hand was even more chilling, as if the earth could be frozen with a single blow.
Frost Giant:
Arena Record: 213 wins to set foot in the Arena of the Gods.
Arena of the Gods record: 103 wins-4 losses
His gaze swept to the third statue.
The moment of eye contact, Cao Lie was in a trance and had an illusion, and what appeared in front of him was the depths of the dark alley, a figure appeared in the darkness, its body was shrouded in darkness, its eyes flashed with a cold light, and the sharp dagger in its hand jumped on its fingertips, like a dormant poisonous snake, and it was also the god of death in the night.
Just making eye contact with the statue brought Cao Lie a sense of tension that stood on end.
Scorpion Braids:
Arena Record: 235 wins to set foot in the Arena of the Gods
Arena of the Gods record: 177 wins, 44 losses
As Kappa said, every statue that can stand here has the strength of the God of Slaughter, and every strength has been recognized by the God of Fury.
……
Following Kappa's previous instructions, he came to the first statue and stood still, clapping his hand on the first statue.
Suddenly, countless pieces of information poured into my mind.
In a trance, he found himself in the center of an empty field, in front of him was the statue of Huo Diao that he had touched.
At this moment, the statue of Huo Diao trembled and quickly dissolved before his eyes.
A birdsong resounded in the sky.
The gravel on the statue fell off, and the huge wings contracted behind Huo Diao unfurled, like feathers formed by flames, and they were ready to fly after being reborn from the fire.
