Master Tongtian

Chapter 253 Strong power requires a tough soul (14)

night.

Backyard of Lord's Castle, third floor.

The first floor is the lobby, restaurant, internal conference hall, various laboratories and other living and working places.

The second floor temporarily belongs to the acting lords Xia Bolay and Jania, while the third floor belongs to the Rosen family.

Oh, by the way, Rosen has already told Xia Bolay about Cassandrine.

After hearing this, Xia Bolai couldn't wait to set off the next second and rushed to Fanggu Town overnight.

Rosen spent a lot of effort to convince him and let him appease Jania's emotions and hand over the work of Crescent Town.

Chapollet then changed the departure time to four o'clock the next morning.

Back to topic.

Because we were studying the secrets of the soul, the place was placed in the bedroom.

Don't get me wrong, this is not for convenience, but because the mortal soul is delicate, frivolous, and as invisible as smoke.

When the outside breeze blows, it will be disturbed, causing ripples and even oscillations.

In a private, quiet and safe place like the bedroom, the soul can easily enter a state of complete relaxation, which is naturally the most conducive to studying the secrets of the soul.

A large oak cage bed that is 2.5 meters long and 4 meters wide. Thick wind-proof curtains hang around the bed. The bed is covered with a thick and soft mattress. Three people sit in a circle on the mattress, and the bed There is a soft ball of light floating on top of the cage.

The bright light illuminated the bed cage from top to bottom, and also illuminated the manuscripts held in the hands of the three people.

Starting after dinner and watching late into the night, the three of them had finished watching "The Secret of Elementary Soul Engraving" for more than six hours.

Gendeloni was the first to comment.

"It's very complex, very delicate, and requires a lot of soul strength. If the strength isn't enough, it won't be able to engrave the fine structure."

After a pause, she continued: "Soul strength corresponds to mana strength. According to the description in this manuscript, the lowest entry requirement is high-level."

Then she sighed: "I am currently in the lower-middle-level magic realm, so I can't use it for the time being."

Rosen doesn’t think so.

He stretched his legs, which were numb from sitting for a long time. When Gendeloni saw them, she held his calves in her arms and squeezed them gently.

"Jenny, please note that the soul realm required here is relative to that of an ordinary mage."

"But we are different. What we visualize is a sun that is extremely close to reality and incredibly majestic. The strength of our souls is much stronger than that of ordinary mages."

"Strictly speaking, mana pools and soul focusing devices are also shallow soul engravings. Since the former can be successful, the latter must not be a big problem."

Gendeloni thought about it carefully and nodded in approval.

"Well~ that's true."

Later, Thrandis expressed his opinion.

"This is still a simple summary of experience, but it doesn't make sense at all."

"In other words, this is a natural spell in the soul realm. It can only be imitated, but it cannot be improved on this basis."

“Of course, still extremely valuable, through this knowledge we can build stronger and more sophisticated complex structures in the soul.

"At the same time, it can also be confirmed that due to the limitation of the size of the soul, there is an upper limit to the number of soul structures."

As she said that, she looked at Rosen: "What do you think the upper limit is?"

Rosen felt it too.

"If the 1-star spell structure is used as a complexity calculation unit, I can probably engrave 36 stars."

"But because structures like the mana pool take up a lot of complexity, my free engraving space is 30 stars."

"Of course, it's just complexity and not strength."

What this means is that Rosen can currently use the Soul Engraving Technique to release ultra-complex mid-level spells.

For example, Alfroya's 24-star mid-level lucky shield, or a full-strength release that becomes a 30-star high-level thorn shield after being completely logicalized.

Rosen expressed his opinion again.

"Although soul engraving can partially break through the limitations of spell casting complexity, I think the strategy of using 3*10 stars is more flexible and practical than the strategy of 1*30 points."

Thrandis nodded in agreement.

"If this is the case, my free inscription space is 36 stars, or 3*12 stars."

"If Alice could also be engraved, it would be 72 stars."

After saying this, she shook her head and rejected this slightly greedy idea.

"But Alice and I are one body with two heads, and the inscription exists on the main body of the soul, so there is a high probability that it cannot be inscribed repeatedly."

If he could, then Thrandis's spellcasting ability would be incredible.

Rosen then thought of a new question: "Anna, have you and Alice achieved any results regarding the coordination of standard spells?"

Thrandis nodded seriously: "We have achieved some results. I can clearly feel that we are on the right track."

"If you keep practicing until you have perfect coordination, you will probably have a maximum spell-casting ability of about 28 stars."

Rosen looked amazed: "Well, it sounds really amazing."

Anna was a little complacent, but she was not carried away.

"Twenty-eight stars is a perfect vision, but it is still surprisingly difficult to implement. So, thank God for being able to reach 24 stars in the end."

Gendeloni said: "But this is still an extraordinary spell-casting ability."

Rosen nodded in agreement and once again expressed envy of this powerful spellcasting ability.

After that, the three people continued to discuss the relevant details, and then started to practice.

To practice, one of them meditates to imprint the structure of the spell into his or her soul.

The biggest difference between this engraved soul structure and the structure that Rosen had explored before was that it was solid.

Rosen made it himself. After casting the spell up to 3 times, or when he is emotionally agitated, the spell will be obviously deformed, but the engraved structure can withstand more than 100 extreme spell castings.

Note that this is extreme casting. If it is normal casting, it doesn't matter hundreds of times.

How strong is that?

Naturally, there are secret methods.

But precisely because it is too strong, it will greatly change the structure of the soul, resulting in inevitable soul waves during the inscription.

Therefore, the other two people used the soul diversion method to help the inscriber calm the soul waves.

Gendeloni asked: "Who comes first?"

Rosen did not hesitate: "I have experience, I will go first."

"Okay." The two women nodded at the same time.

Rosen has already thought of his own strategy.

"I will use a 14+8+8 strategy, one full-casting structure and two half-casting structures."

, the palms of the three people were connected to each other through secret gold spiritual patterns, and they ran the soul diversion technique. When the diversion technique took effect, Rosen began to perform the real soul engraving.

He immersed himself in the sea of ​​consciousness, imagined himself as the manager of the universe, and used the secret method of the soul to develop an extremely sharp soul carving knife.

Then, he held a carving knife and cut into the outermost soul, leaving a deep mark.

At this moment, Rosen clearly felt the trembling in his soul.

It is an indescribable pain that cannot be pinpointed, is everywhere, and is difficult to escape. It is particularly uncomfortable.

A thought flashed through my mind.

‘If there is no psychic shunt, this is really not something that humans can do. ’

Fortunately, he had tasted much more pain than this, so he could bear it easily now.

Next, he endured this torture and carved the entire cast structure of the 14-star high-level spell Thorn Shield into his soul with one knife after another.

In this way, he releases the magic thorn shield, and he only needs to think and inject mana to complete the spell.

And because the spell is cast within the spirit, the mana transmission loss is directly zero, so the mana consumption is greatly reduced.

For the same reason, the mana transmission time is greatly shortened, which greatly reduces the total casting time.

After the engraving was completed, Rosen opened his eyes, took a long breath, and then began to try to cast spells.

As soon as he thought about it, about 0.8 seconds later, the high-level spell Thorn Shield with 190% ultimate dexterity was successfully released.

Rosen summed up the changes immediately.

"Compared to extraterrestrial casting, the mana consumption is reduced to one-third of the original. With my current mana, I can use three high-level thorn shields."

"The casting time is reduced to one-fourth of the original time."

Thrandis immediately asked: "Can it still be blessed with calmness and calmness and be strengthened by the staff?"

Rosen nodded: "Inner-spirit casting is equivalent to internal magic, that is, polarity. After this polarity mana is output, it will not affect the continued strengthening of the external magic weapon."

"So, I shot with all my strength, and the power was still worthy of breaking through to Master Level 2."

Hearing this, both women looked amazed, deeply aware of the power of the Soul Engraving Technique.

You know, the casting time of high-level natural spells is generally more than 5 seconds. Even seven to eight seconds, more than ten seconds is not unusual, not to mention the huge mana consumption.

As for high-level semi-logical spells, the casting time is more than 3 seconds.

Now, through the two new spell-casting steps of soul engraving and pure logic, the overall cost of high-level spell casting has been reduced to the same level as that of mid-level spells.

It’s simply a qualitative leap!

Then, Rosen began to share the detailed experiences engraved in the soul with the two women. By the time he finished speaking, Anna was already eager to give it a try.

"let me try."

"The spell thorn shield is very useful, so I will also engrave one."

After she was ready, she began to engrave.

As soon as the knife went down, her whole body tensed up and her teeth clenched, showing great pain, and she couldn't help but moan.

"Hiss~ It hurts~"

She gritted her teeth and endured another stab. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she felt a little unbearable.

Sensing her intention to give up midway, Rosen immediately said: "Anna, hold on~ nothing will happen!"

After being comforted by Rosen, Thrandis plucked up the courage to carve again.

Carving a 'knife', slow down, and continued carving for a full half an hour before carving the high-level spell thorn shield, but I was exhausted.

After finishing, she collapsed in Rosen's arms, her eyes full of fear.

"It's so uncomfortable, like I'm cutting my own intestines with a knife!"

After a while, he recovered and turned to look at Rosen: "My dear, aren't you in pain?"

It only took Rosen less than five minutes to get it done just now, so she thought it was very simple.

Rosen nodded immediately: "It hurts~ but it's still within the tolerance range."

This kind of pain is nothing compared to the pain in the Arena of Gods, and is not worth mentioning.

"."

Thrandis shook his head and said, "One carving is enough tonight. Let Alice carve a second one during the day tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice's magic light and shadow appeared, shaking her head repeatedly.

"No, no, no~ I won't engrave, I won't engrave~ I can't stand this."

"It's so painful. It's still coming, I can't do it."

Anna's heart moved and she asked: "Can you also feel pain?"

Alice nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I feel the same pain. I almost went crazy with pain!"

Rosen said: "It seems like Anna's guess is right. It can only be engraved once, which is 36 stars."

Anna was a little disappointed, but then she felt that she was greedy. It was already good to be able to carve three 36 stars.

She tries to cast a spell.

As a result, the effect improvement was indeed huge, but the overall effect was almost the same as Rosen, and the maximum power was that of Master Level 2.

There are differences. She is at the middle level of Master Level 2, but Rosen barely breaks through.

Anna was a little confused: "Hey, my improvement doesn't seem to be as great as Rosen's."

She thought her casting time would be faster.

Gendeloni said at the side: "I guess it's probably because the soul structure engraved by Rosen is clearer and more precise than yours. After all, he is surprisingly good at refining weapons, and he is not afraid of pain."

That does make sense.

Thrandis nodded in approval: "Rosen's soul is indeed much tougher than mine."

In the end, Gendeloni was left not trying.

Gendeloni simply shook her head.

"I don't need it. Just the pain I feel through the psychic shunt makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't think I can bear it."

"Besides, I don't know how to fight spells, and I don't have high requirements for the speed of casting spells. I'm fine as I am now."

That's right.

Rosen felt that with Gendeloni's extremely sensitive physique, one blow of the knife would probably make him faint from the pain on the spot.

However, he still reminded: "It can be avoided now, but it cannot be escaped in the future."

Gendeloni was startled: "Why?"

Rosen smiled and said: "As our mana realm continues to improve, the normal strength mana pool will definitely not be enough. By then, we will definitely use the inscription method to create a stronger mana pool."

Gendeloni's face suddenly wrinkled: "Well~I suddenly chickened out."

Sure enough, if you want to gain great power, you must first have a tough soul.

Rosen felt it was not enough, so he said: "I can also engrave two 8-star auxiliary structures, so I might as well finish it in one go."

Thrandis looked impressed: "Then which two are you going to get tattooed?"

She had to take it slow before continuing tomorrow.

Rosen thought about it carefully and said, "Let's engrave the high-level petrification technique and the large gravity disintegration technique we just developed."

Gendeloni wondered: "Why these two?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Under the action of high-level petrification, the soil can instantly gain almost steel strength. If the thickness exceeds 2 meters, it can easily withstand the power of master-level pure spells."

The greatest advantage of petrification is the perfect combination of magic and physical objects.

Therefore, there is both the flexibility of magic and the solidity of physical objects, thus breaking through the common sense of confrontation between pure magical power.

Thrandis was also immediately moved: "Oh~ you are right, then I will also tattoo the high-level petrification technique."

Rosen added: "As for the Great Gravity Disintegration Technique, it is very useful in the field of alchemy, and it is also an excellent offensive technique."

Thrandis didn't understand for a moment: "Attack spell? It shouldn't be as effective on mages as gravity collapse, right?"

Rosen smiled: "Of course it's not as good as dealing with the mage directly, but I can disintegrate the soil under the target's feet and get a very impactful explosion, which may even be more powerful than fire spells."

Think about it, tons of solid soil disintegrated into gas thousands of times its volume.

It was like a tire filled with thousands of atmospheres of pressure exploding next to you, and the impact was very, very terrifying.

What's more important is that the explosion of gravity magic is extremely secretive and difficult to detect.

Thrandis understood and immediately said: "Then I will engrave these two too."

Rosen didn't object, because soul engraving was not a one-time thing, and if it didn't work, you could heal it and start over.

Finally, he came up with another idea: "If Faerun is not dead, then he will most likely go crazy."

"Then, he will probably not care about the third golden rule, and may even seek refuge with the evil god and use the soul secret method to deal with us."

Safety within the Golden Land is the third golden rule that everyone is concerned about. Outside the Golden Land, it is a jungle world with no taboos. It is used for whatever it is, and killing the opponent is the first goal.

So we have to guard against it.

"My idea is to develop a thorn shield solidified in the soul based on the principle of the high-level thorn talisman."

"If you are really attacked by the soul, you can not only protect yourself, but also fight back immediately."

Now, the knowledge reserve is basically enough. This soul thorn shield is actually a power that is ready to be unleashed.

Thrandis nodded solemnly: "Okay."

But Gendeloni had a grimace on her face: "I feel like I still can't escape the pain engraved in my soul, wuwu."
