Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

From the first day he became a mercenary, the concept that high speed and high explosion equals strength has taken root in Zhuang Xuteng's mind. ɱHe will never forget the first time he witnessed high-speed and high-explosion in actual combat: Cassandra's heavy punch against King Kong of the Wild Monkey Gang.

Today, high-speed and high-explosion implants have been installed in his legs, and the postoperative recovery has been completed early with the help of the vast number of good citizens who are heavy users of Safety Blue in Constitution City, the capital. Zhuang Xuteng is already eager to try.

The high-speed and high-explosion implant also adopts the command-controlled "charge-explosion" mode, which does not require complicated operations. It does not rely on the intervention of an integrated transaction processor - this is very beneficial to Zhuang Xuteng, eliminating the cost of finding a company's encoding and encryption operating system. The user can initiate the "accumulation-explosion" process through nervous system commands or by pressing the relevant parts of the implant using specific gestures.

Implants taken from cadavers do not come with an operating manual, so there is no "gesture press" control. In order to better control the implant, during the implantation surgery, Zhuang Xuteng asked Dr. Doku to connect it to the driving assistance suit implant to share a control system.

The "charge-jump" command of the driving assistance suit can control the intensity of the charge. The same control ability can also have an effect on high-speed and high-explosion implants, which is very important to Zhuang Xuteng. For this set of implants, Zhuang Xuteng could only learn to use it gropingly, so experimenting with the smallest amount of energy at the beginning would definitely have the smallest threat of damage to his body.

"Start...stop!" Zhuang Xuteng felt that his heels were hot, so he quickly took off his shoes and touched them. In just one second of accumulation, the skin on the back of his feet had reached a high temperature of about 40 degrees. Obviously, high-speed and high-explosive functions will place a significant burden on the body. High temperature is just the beginning, and it is the easiest to overcome of all burdens and damages.

Zhuang Xuteng squatted at the foot of the mountain. Directly in front of him was an uphill road without obstacles, which was perfect for an acceleration test. He opened the tentacles of the resentful spirit, raised the resentful spirit jelly and super-computing martial arts to their strongest state, and then issued the "break out" command. The power accumulated in the implant exploded in an instant. Zhuang Xuteng felt his legs weaken and he rushed out.

In an instant, Zhuang Xuteng urgently activated his levitating technique, coupled with the support of the resentful spirit tentacles and the quick reaction of Eight Flashes, he was able to avoid being hit by the oncoming earth. Even so, he could only launch himself into the air and jump to a height of about fifteen meters. Only then did he complete the buffer and regain control of his body posture. When he landed, his feet were so painful that he had to quickly lower his buttocks and use two pieces of soft flesh to support his body weight.

"It's more difficult than expected. This moment of acceleration is so exciting." Zhuang Xuteng slowly rubbed his legs and found that the pain in his legs quickly reduced and disappeared after a few seconds. In terms of muscle feel, he felt that his legs were fine and he could continue to use them normally.

"Hiss... interesting, really interesting. It stands to reason that such a large explosive force should cause lacerations to the muscles and skin, but in fact no wounds were seen at all. At first, I thought that after kicking on the ground, if the surgical wounds were not treated, Okay, maybe the implant will fly out on its own..."

Zhuang Xuteng suddenly discovered that the high-speed and high-explosion implant was quite strange. Its explosive ability was completely different from the charged jump of the driving assistance suit. The power-charge jump mainly uses physical principles. It simply concentrates the force and provides the body with a greater initial speed through the conversion of potential energy and kinetic energy. But high-speed and high-explosion is not a stronger, horizontal charge jump. The physical effect is only part of it, maybe not even 30%.

"Based solely on the principle of force rising from the ground, with such a large acceleration, my legs and feet will rush out first, and then my upper body will be flattened, passively following me in a lying position. But in fact, my body is The whole body, even the upper body, went out faster - at that time, I first saw the ground rushing towards me, and then I had other reactions."

"There must be some force that helped me stabilize my body posture. When I tried it the first time, I leaned too far forward. It was actually because I expected my upper body to fall backwards and made 'compensation' in advance. The next time I tried it, I used my normal posture. Running posture, see if what I think is right.”

This time, Zhuang Xuteng started from a standing position, still giving the high-speed and high-explosion implant a minimum charge. With a cry, he rushed out. Judging from his posture, it was obviously much better than the last time. His upper body leaned back slightly—presumably due to wind resistance—but not enough to cause him to roll. After enduring the pain in his feet and taking a dozen steps, Zhuang Xuteng successfully stopped. The distance of this charge was about twenty meters.

Zhuang Xuteng felt that he had grasped a key point, so he continued to try after the break. With the help of Ba Shan's high-speed neural reactions, he gradually revealed the secret of high-speed and high-explosion: He was not wrong. The high-speed and high-explosion power storage-efficiency is only 30% of its overall strength, and the remaining 70% is the shadow. Spell effects.

Even though Zhuang Xuteng uses martial arts all day long, his main power is actually shadow energy. He is different from Ge Gongdao, he is different from the Lich Master, he is more like a shadow follower mage - you only need to think about this carefully to know this.

Resentment, Zhuang Xuteng used his resentment to drive necromancy spells, including constructing various summons of the resentment system, and letting the resentment tentacles do it for him. The resentment he used was no longer the same thing as the resentment used by the Lich Master. The necromantic resentment of the Lich Master comes from the corpse, the resentment of the deceased and other curse effects. Most of Zhuang Xuteng's grievances came from the side effects of the implant, which came from living people. Even the resentment he collected from the dead was not death in nature, but a side effect of the implant.

The implant is a shadow follower that is driven by energy and converts energy into effects. In most cases, the energy comes from shadow energy blocks, which are commonly known as shadow "batteries". This kind of shadow energy has long spread all over the world along with the power system.

Another source of energy is the user himself. Zhuang Xuteng used it when using the Shadow Gun Ring, and also used it when driving the Eye of Kahuo. If the body's energy is insufficient, it will cause symptoms such as fatigue, mental weakness, nausea, and dizziness. It requires good rest and nutritional supplements to recover. This method of use is more flexible, more personalized, and more suitable for creating unique effects, so it is also widely used by Shadow Master. By the time Zhuang Xuteng used the bone spear technique, he had already fully used the shadow follower energy.

All this time, Zhuang Xuteng has never broken down the shadow energy and resentment. He has always mixed them together. Due to the differences in world rules between the shadow world and the corporate world, the Lich Master's necromancy has been "localized and transformed" by Zhuang Xuteng. It is actually a mixed use. Therefore, it is the most correct choice for Zhuang Xuteng not to subdivide the two energies. . His resentment can drive his necromancy, but in fact it can only drive his own necromancy. His resentment can also drive shadow slave equipment, and he is the only one among the Necromancers whose resentment can do this.

Rather than saying that Zhuang Xuteng is a necromancer, it is better to say that he is a shadow mage who uses necromancy skills. Long-term training allowed him to accumulate a lot of resentment, which is also the shadow energy, and now it shows its benefits: high-speed and high-explosion implants require a considerable amount of shadow energy to drive, and the impact generated by its explosion requires strong physical fitness and Only the level of body control can withstand it.

In terms of shadow follower energy requirements, shadow follower mages can meet the demand relatively easily, but in comparison, they need other types of shadow followers, especially shadow follower spell-casting equipment. From the perspective of physical endurance, there is definitely no problem in strengthening people, but their own ability to create shadow energy is relatively limited. Considering the side effects of shadow energy depletion, we can only continue to select the best and find those with the best shadow physiques to withstand the consumption. . Such people, who have been selected, cultivated and trained at all levels, have become the main combatants of the company's business development department, internal security and other important departments, that is, strengthened people.

Back to Zhuang Xuteng, his physical fitness is not bad, his body control ability is first-rate, and his "Shadow Energy" reserve is also first-rate, and it can continue to be enhanced. He became that rare thing: a shadowy spellcaster and a physically enhanced warrior.

Every time the high-speed and high-burst implant is activated, resentment will flow. This does not require Zhuang Xuteng's command. Providing energy for spells has long been his natural reaction. Subsequently, the implant will produce three effects: physically accumulating potential energy for the implant, magically accumulating explosive energy, and providing posture protection for the body.

The first two parts are all about compressing energy in preparation for an explosion. The interesting part is the third part. After Zhuang Xuteng gave the order, within a very short period of tens of milliseconds, the shadow energy flowed rapidly through his body and spread throughout his body, forming a protective and supportive shield. Immediately afterwards, he will be pushed out by a strong explosive force, and then enter the "flying" state. During the short period of time when the explosive force takes effect, the protection and support shield protects him from the damage of inertia.

The high-speed and high-explosion will not throw out the internal organs, squeeze the blood out of the wound, and will not have an unbearable impact on the bladder and sphincter. The implant's own Shadow Spell briefly cuts the inertia, thereby discarding the most dangerous part of acceleration. The rest are basically physical and mental discomfort after the sudden change in speed.

The difference in speed between the front and rear creates a strong sense of dizziness, which has the effect of catching people off guard. Zhuang Xuteng now understands why the company's augmented people need to assume a posture before a high-speed burst. It is to find the benchmark before and after the speed change, and adjust the body based on familiar postures, thereby reducing the rate of body loss of control.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't want to take the company's approach of strengthening people. He always believed that determining a baseline posture was equivalent to revealing his fighting intentions. As soon as the opponent saw his movements, they knew that a high-speed and high-explosion was coming, and they could calculate the general direction of the impact. Zhuang Xuteng used his prediction of posture and impact direction to use the armor-breaking hammer to inflict a fatal blow to Kahuo. He didn't want this to happen to him.

"So I have to find a way to adapt to the speed difference, and I have to do it in any position and in any situation."

How do people who are seasick practice to avoid seasickness - vomit. Zhuang Xuteng heard someone say that in order to avoid seasickness as soon as possible, some people specially find boats to go out in stormy weather. They vomit in extreme situations and narrowly escape death. After a few more times, as long as they don't die, as long as they have a strong will to survive. , then the body’s ability to withstand bumps will be improved. In the high-speed and high-explosion field, Zhuang Xuteng is also prepared to do the same. The only difference is: he won't use the maximum power to explode from the beginning, but start from the most basic.

Thanks to the long-term training to accumulate mana, and the relatively small consumption of minimum energy storage, Zhuang Xuteng can activate the high-speed and high-explosion implant more times than the company's enhanced people. In the process of constant tossing, despite many mistakes such as falling and rolling, he gradually figured out some tricks: anticipating the environmental state after the explosion in advance can effectively reduce the dizziness caused by the speed contrast.

"Isn't this when the Wraith Jelly should come into play? The same goes for sensing tentacles. Others can only use themselves as observation points, but I am different! Whichever location I want to use as an observation point, I just need to put the Wraith Jelly or Perception Just stretch out your tentacles!"

Even the best predictions are not as accurate as on-the-ground perception. Zhuang Xuteng only needs to understand the impact distance under different charging states and spread out the jelly or tentacles with the ability to sense in advance, which means he has mastered the environmental information after the explosion in advance. Based on this information and adding the sense of speed, doesn't this mean a complete contrast between all the states before and after?

Now that you have an idea, train in this direction. The high-speed and high-explosion implant was activated again and again, pushing him continuously into a high-speed impact state, and his familiarity with this state continued to strengthen with the amount of practice. The side effects of the implant were converted into energy by him in the form of resentment - he actually recycled energy, thus greatly increasing the number of times the high-speed and high-burst implant could be used.

There are some things that Zhuang Xuteng doesn't know: the amount of training he does in one day is greater than the amount of training for a strengthened person in two weeks. As for finding a feeling, the longer it takes, the worse it gets. The more frequent, high-density, and multiple times of training, the easier it is to achieve results. By the third day, Zhuang Xuteng had overcome the contrast dizziness in the lowest charged state, and had mastered the impact distance of this charged state. As long as both of his feet touch a solid surface at the same time and his body posture is not too weird, he can launch himself while controlling all movements of his body, including offensive and defensive movements.

On this basis, he immediately increased his energy storage to further increase the difficulty and pressure on himself. During high-intensity and frequent training, the inertial protective shield of tens of milliseconds at the moment of explosion becomes more and more clear: the shadow follows how the energy flows in the body, then expands and bursts out of the body, and then forms the whole process of supporting and protecting. The effect of the spell was repeated over and over again, and he gradually came up with an idea: Can I follow suit?

Without learning the basics of magic and the principles of magic, there are certain risks in directly imitating the trajectory of mana flow. If it were Master Lich, he would definitely not do this, but Zhuang Xuteng was completely different. He felt that he had super-calculated martial arts and extremely fast reaction speed. He just had to pay attention to the flow of resentment at all times. After all: imitating the flow of mana is the same as imitating someone else's punches and kicks.

Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng practiced high-speed and high-explosion when he had enough mana, and when he had insufficient mana, he used the little mana he had accumulated to practice "wandering". In the beginning, this was very difficult. The regular flow of mana was much more difficult than controlling the body with muscles. If he was not careful, he would turn into a wild dog running wild inside his body. However, he has a bone shield technique to protect his internal organs, and his bones are no match for titanium alloys. In addition, his reaction speed is extremely fast, so these random spell accidents failed to cause actual damage, and they all became his experience.

After a week, his perseverance finally resulted in something new.
