Chapter 105: Time to Get a Mount Zhi Niao Village

  In the eyes of the Xantheans, the mana net is the skeleton of the world and the source of energy for the universe.

  The universe first had a demon web, and then on the basis of the demon web, a real world was born.

  Regardless of which exercise method is used, the ultimate goal is to integrate into the magic net and obtain the pure original power, controlling the world derived from it.

  Compared with Santorio, Chen Yi's difficulty in training lies in his inability to understand this world philosophy.

  The Shengqiao people can devoutly worship and pray to the gods, as if they were worshipping everything related to the demon web, but Chen Yi cannot do this.

  This made him extremely slow in his last step of body technique.

  From Body Technique Level 1 to Body Technique Level 9, he only used two months of time, but from Body Technique Level 9 to Fighting Technique Level 1, he spent two months without success.

  Although he jumped a big level, the time spent should be more, but with the help of the Holy Knight, and after all, it's his combat skills, the time he used shouldn't exceed half of the previous one.

  In other words, several months is enough.

  In fact, some young people with very good talent have already reached the level of Douji while doing experiments.

  However, they are one in a million people, and with a very suitable training method for themselves, they can be so fast.

  It's normal to spend 10 to 20 years practicing martial arts and advancing in skill.

  So while Saint Knight Grendel found Chen Yi's late-game performance strange, he didn't show any signs of impatience.

  As long as the master himself is not in a hurry, it's fine.

  And with his experience, plus the infinite amount of Tear of God oil, Chen Yi can push to the Dou Technique level as long as he doesn't stop.

  It's just a matter of time.

  Time is a good medicine.

  No matter how great the pain, time will make you forget; no matter how insipid the theory, time will make you believe; no matter how difficult the exercise, time will make you accustomed...

  After wandering in the ninth level of Ti Fa for several months, Chen Yi began to adapt to the existence of the Demon Web, or more precisely, acknowledged the theory of the Demon Web.

  After all, the scrolls he used for so long, the green syrupy fruit, and the potions were all irrefutable proof of the existence of the Demon Web.

  In the darkness, Chen Yi began to repeat all the physical movements he had used before.

  Turtle tactics, knight's step-by-step battle method...

  Grundler saw from outside, it only took two or three minutes to judge what would happen next. He hastily made a gesture and drove everyone on the mage tower away, leaving only one red-robed mage holding his breath and staring intently.

  The upper layer of the vast Law Master's Tower, with a width of over 100 square kilometers, no matter which direction you look from, has at least ten kilometers in length, equivalent to being as long as twenty aircraft carriers, like a small island that can't be seen.

  In this flat building, which is even bigger than Vatican, there are only three people, it's really empty and scary.

  But no one has time for such trivial matters anymore.

  Grindelwald raised his magic, and after brewing for three to five minutes, he said in a voice full of original power: "The universe is like a leaf, the demon net is like a pulse, the pulse is connected, the universe is there, the leaves have no end, the pulse has no limit."

  Unconsciously, a green leaf appeared on Chen Yi's forehead, with clear veins on it.

  He can feel the flow of energy, very naturally, very naturally...

  It's only occasionally when the leaves are subjected to external forces that the energy will change a little, sometimes losing some energy and sometimes gaining some.

  The veins on the leaves gradually increase, emitting more fine veinlets, and even extending beyond the leaf blade.

  Thus, the leaf is also constantly growing larger and accommodating more veins.

  A drop of water-like energy fell on the leaf.

  The rapidly expanding leaves suddenly stopped, and then they expanded wildly again.

  And that drop of water also became nutrients and was thoroughly absorbed into the leaves.

  Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

  The opposite Grendel, unexpectedly already has a bearded appearance.

  Chen Yi was startled and looked around, then asked: "How long has it been?"

  "Seven days, Master."

  7 days is 100 hours already. Chen Yi moved his legs and got up, surprisingly finding no discomfort at all.

  On the contrary, he felt his mobility had become stronger.

  He exerted himself and jumped up, his body springing up like a spring.

  The subway's ceiling was crazily high and didn't let him touch it, but at this height, he had proven that he could jump at least one person higher.

  "Me?" Chen Yi pointed at his own nose.

  Grendel and the Red Robe Master bowed and smiled: "Congratulations, Master. You have officially entered the Douji level. From today on, you will be able to communicate with the Demon Web, absorb its pure power, store it in your body, temper your physique, and use it in actual combat."

  "Douji Ka!" Chen Yi habitually rubbed his fingers together, and a red flame slowly emerged from his fingertips.

  "Master, you can now manipulate your Qi to any part of your body. Unlike when you were at Body Technique 9th level, with just a bit of practice, the amount of Qi that your first-level Dou Technique can hold is ten times what it was before, and the release speed of all your Dou Techniques will be extremely fast."

  The spell release is very slow, and after leveling up, it takes a long time to chant even with scrolls.

  The Dougi is different, it releases a single body of Douki that has an astonishing killing power, and does not require waiting time, thereby maintaining the maximum killing power in close combat.

  If magicians were described as airplanes, then Paladins, Kingdom Knights and Holy Knights would be equivalent to warships.

  When facing a magician of the same level, although they lack the ability to launch an active attack, their defensive power is greatly enhanced. On the other hand, some knights who are good at resisting magic have the power to fight against magicians alone - these knights, like destroyers or anti-aircraft ships, are called anti-magic knights on the Magic Continent.

  Including the Holy Knights, high-ranking knights rarely act alone in battle. They either coordinate with mages to launch a group attack or receive support from mages to carry out high-damage attacks.

  To sum up, knights are war animals, while mages are more comprehensive, and with their rarity, their status on the continent is naturally higher.

  However, in terms of offense, Chen Yi has nearly infinite magical scrolls at his disposal, making him different from a normal knight.

  He is now equivalent to a small aircraft carrier. The higher the level of combat skills, the more magic scrolls can be released, which means there are more planes. An ordinary ** master, putting up a few fourth-level scrolls, would have used up his magical power for the day, while Chen Yi could release three or four magic scrolls when he was at body technique level 9.

  He himself attaches great importance to the number of times he can release magic scrolls, and after a slight test of his aura, he couldn't help but ask: "How many magic scrolls can I release now?"

  "You now have the physical body of a true knight, and your aura can help you communicate with the magic net while also releasing some pressure. So, you should be able to guide about 5 level-5 scrolls, around 10 level-4 scrolls, or about 100 level-3 scrolls." Grendel said, fearing Chen Yi wouldn't understand, he added: "The use of these three types of scrolls is not mixed. For example, if you've used a level-5 scroll, it's best not to use a level-4 scroll. Also, the level-3 energy recovery potion can no longer replenish the consumption of a level-5 scroll."

  Releasing 10 fourth-level scrolls is equivalent to the daily spellcasting of two or even three level-4 mages. It's like having two or three aircraft carriers of the same level as Chen Yi's small aircraft carrier.

  Chen Yi wanted a level 5 scroll even more, he listened clearly and eagerly opened the crystal screen, but did not find any updated scroll selection, and was involuntarily annoyed: Could it be that you are also made by Microsoft, and need to restart after updating?

  It's been two days since I went out, and now even if I leave the subway, it won't be exactly 10:30 at night.

  There's no time for rebooting.

  Suppressing his curiosity, Chen Yi thought to himself: following the usual pattern, the crystal screen would list out the existing upgraded versions of the scrolls for him to choose from, or perhaps there was a chance that new things would appear, he just didn't know how many chances he would have to make a choice.

  If you only have one chance to choose, what should you upgrade?

  The tonic seems to be needed.

  Green smoothies are also good stuff.

  Intellect scroll is much better, last time's Mensa test, 3rd-level intellect scroll was almost not enough, if a lower number appeared at that time, it would definitely not be able to answer more than 20 questions.

  Strength scrolls and Intelligence scrolls were used less often, but they were always kept by Chen Yi as a lifesaver, with at least one in his backpack. The former allowed him to have enough confidence when facing any bare-handed enemy, while the latter was an escape tool. If he could upgrade them to a higher level, their application range would be even wider.

  Listening scrolls and perception scrolls have given me a lot of help, often the kind that force can't achieve. They are now less effective, somewhat due to level restrictions. It's imaginable that if there were fourth or fifth-level listening scrolls, which could hear the other party's complete thoughts, how much more helpful they would be.

  As for the skill duplication scroll, since it is not under the control of Saint Qiao, the choice is apparently meaningless.

  Chen Yi felt that no matter how he calculated, it was never enough, and he wished that all items could be upgraded by one or two levels, and also add some new gameplay to it.

  The holy knight stood beside him for half a day, looking at his changing expression, and after a moment, he couldn't help but say: "Master, after entering the combat level, we can start practicing formal knightly martial arts. I wonder what you would like to choose as your mount?"

  "Mount?" Chen Yi really hadn't thought of such a thing and furrowed his brow: "Don't knights all ride horses?"

  "Horse?" The Holy Knight rubbed his head in confusion, also unsure how the crystal screen had translated it.

  He whispered to the red-robed monk for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Master, the true knights and knight apprentices, the knight attendants, are generally riding this kind of animal."

  The red-robed mage in mid-air released a silhouette of an animal.

  This is a camel-like, peakless riding beast with a large body and thick limbs. It looks about half a head taller than a horse, and its speed should be slightly slower.

  "We call it 'Grendel', but you can also call it a horse."

  Chen Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing and said: "This thing is too weird, what are you riding?"

  "Earth dragon," Grundle said, wiggling his fingers, and a massive, at least 30 meters long, robust beast appeared on the ground.

  Its sturdy limbs can completely cover a car, although it looks somewhat short and stout, but carefully compared, its abdomen is at least 10 meters away from the ground.

  The dragon's back is narrower as it goes up, and in the rear half of the spine, there are bone spurs that are even taller than a person.

  Grundler whistled, and the earth dragon thudded onto the floor, coming to a stop in front of Chen Yi, then obediently knelt down on one knee.

  From this simple action, it can be found that it is not as slow and dull as imagined.

  The face of the earth dragon is square and regular, with two nostrils and one mouth, and its exposed teeth are as big as a human's upper body. The upper and lower halves of its head are almost equal in length.

  If it were a dog, it would certainly sell for a good price.

  "It's said that there are true dragon riders, but nobody has ever seen them." Grendel said halfway, stopping. Dragon riding was something from before the establishment of the Dragon Temple, and now whether it's the Yellow Jade Dragon Temple or the Red Jade Dragon Temple, they are all lofty and sacred existences that cannot be violated.

  He had no choice but to consider it.

  Chen Yiwu subconsciously said: "I have to consider my own mount."

  He was more shocked by the existence of the ring that summoned the earth dragon, rather than the earth dragon itself. He pointed at it and asked: "What is the tool you used to summon the earth dragon?"

  "Summoning ring, which can make some mounts and pets temporarily stay in space." Glendler looked at the crystal screen with a hint of regret, saying: "Master, if you need it another day, we will definitely prepare the best."

  The summoning ring is worth a fortune. If it can really be traded with the master, the gold coins owed now will be paid off quite a bit.

  Chen Yi smiled and said: "I believe you, but without a mount, can you practice knight warfare?"

  "Alright." The Holy Knight added it as a new condition.

  Those children waiting under the lower floor of the Law Master's Tower will have new training subjects again.

  Training can begin now.

  In fact, there is no essential difference between knight warfare and infantry warfare. The former is even simpler in some ways.

  However, for the knights, the knight's combat method was their livelihood, and no matter how skilled they were, it was not enough. Grenadier also practiced basic skills over and over again with Chen Yi - horse riding three actions.

  Sitting on horseback, crouching on horseback, standing on horseback.

  Three actions were performed for 10 hours, and Chen Yi's physical strength brought about by the upgrade was thoroughly exhausted.

  Before leaving, Saint Knight Glendler bowed again: "Master, please decide on your mount as soon as possible, it will also be beneficial for your future training."

  "I get it." Chen Yi rubbed his head and tapped on the crystal screen a couple of times.

  The subway moved slowly, and he thought: Could it be that I really buy a horse as a mount?

  Having seen the majestic appearance of the dragon-like horse, one horse is really not enough to satisfy a young man's wild and unrestrained heart.

  Back in Jiangning, it was still noon.

  Inside the subway station, it's crowded with people; outside the subway station, the scorching sun is shining brightly.

  As soon as Chen Yi walked out of the cool underground passageway, he was instantly covered in sweat.

  He recalled the aura he had just learned, and involuntarily spread it throughout his body, forming a thin layer of thermal insulation on his skin. Ultraviolet rays and other radiation sources immediately lost their penetrating ability.

  The temperature outside seems to have dropped all of a sudden as well.

  After trying for several minutes, until people started staring at the young man who was smiling foolishly in the sunlight with strange eyes, Chen Yi finally found a taxi and said, "Jiangning University."

  The driver started the car with a "hmm" and habitually looked into the rearview mirror, saying "huh?" in surprise: "Little brother, isn't it hot today? You're not even sweating!"

  "Good health." Chen Yi smiled twice.

  Two days later, Jiangning University seemed to have become another world.

  The freshmen who have gradually become familiar with the campus, start to wear casual clothes and slippers in the dormitory area, like a stray dog foraging for food; The old students who arrived late at school lazily patrol their respective territories, like a domestic dog guarding its territory; The faculty and staff who regard themselves as the masters of the campus only stay within their respective work scopes, like a wolf dog with a chain around its neck on guard.

  Chen Yi hesitated for a moment before getting off and paying, suddenly remembering that Jin Douna was still in the dormitory.

  Two days haven't come back, that Korean girl won't starve to death, right?

  Thinking of her slender waist less than 22 inches, Chen Yi ran even faster.

  Still a bit late. 4,000-word chapter. Counting it up, I've updated 9,000 words today, not counting the extra updates, so everyone please throw some monthly tickets and whatnot as encouragement.
