Cataclysm King Chapter 42

  Chapter 42 Off-scale golden breathing method

  Ji Xun has the ability of photographic memory, because he suspects that someone will come to his door recently, so he has been meticulously observing the environment around the dormitory.

   This staircase is usually only climbed up and down by a few body collectors from the fifth team, and he clearly remembers almost every detail.

  At this moment, there was a strange footprint on the gray layer on the ground.

No.

  I discovered it when I was in the yard just now.

  The threaded dark star non-slip soles look like Monk shoes produced by the "Mole Leather Factory" in the Fifth District of East. Middle-aged men in their 40s like the style, and the price is not affordable for ordinary people. The owner of this shoe print probably has a decent job.

   And this kind of high-end shoes are not work shoes for corpse collectors, the entire branch does not have them.

Size 42, the left heel is worn, and the stride is medium. According to the formula of normal height = 6.876 × (shoe size + 10) / 2, it is estimated that the height of the owner of the shoe print should be between 173-178 cm, and the left foot is slightly There are eight;

  Based on the depth of the ooze shoe prints in the yard, the weight is 60-65 kg.

   Overall, it is not burly.

   This almost immediately rules out melee spellcasters.

  Because muscle strength and mass are directly proportional, a melee spell card master of this height definitely weighs more than 80 kilograms.

  Law or mystery?

  So there is a high probability that it is not the killer of the Cao family who came to the door.

   Ji Xun immediately thought of something: something happened in the cellar on Tailor Street.

   I thought it should be the same.

  Come to find something, not to kill.

  A mysterious spell card master with special abilities is obviously more suitable, rather than a strong man who can only fight and kill.

   And when he walked to his dormitory, Ji Xun made sure that someone had entered his room.

Um.

   Maybe people are inside now.

   Waiting for someone from him to come back.

   After all, only he and the little fat man have gone down to the cellar, and the room of the two of them will leave a stronger atmosphere.

  The moment Ji Xun discovered the abnormality, he had already made a choice in his heart.

   If you are a master, it is useless to escape now, and the extra movements will make people suspicious.

   If he is not a master, Ji Xun doesn't think that the other party will definitely take advantage of it.

   If he dared to handle such a hot baby, he would naturally have to bear the risk. He had already realized it.

   But now that the stolen goods have been swallowed up, they are not afraid of being caught dirty.

   The bet is a bold and careful person.

  Before it was revealed, Ji Xun's identity was just an ordinary corpse collector.

   Should not show any vigilance beyond this profession.

   Thoughts turned in his mind, he didn't show the slightest hesitation, and opened the door pretending to be drunk.

   But at the same time, the hand in the trouser pocket has activated the clown mask card.

  Based on his current understanding, the spell card master is not omnipotent.

  Besides the card master who specializes in extraordinary abilities, he doesn't necessarily know much about other aspects.

   At least he didn't cover up the shoe prints, the person who came was a very poor scout.

   Probably because they found something missing, they were sent here temporarily to look for it.

   Or some kind of half-baked evil organization, there are no talents who are good at tracking traces.

  Ji Xun already had a relatively accurate psychological profile of the visitor.

  The moment the door was opened, Enlightenment appeared: "You have been exempted from spiritual hypnosis once"

  As expected.

  Ji Xun's eyes were dull, looking at the shining silver pocket watch in front of him.

  He was hypnotized many times in his previous life, successfully or unsuccessfully. Also because of his abnormal mental state, he took the initiative to study and understand a lot of related knowledge, so he knows exactly what a person will be like when he is hypnotized.

   There is a guy in the room wearing a black cloak whose face cannot be seen clearly.

  Ji Xun also pretended not to see it, his pupils were dilated, and he was sluggish on the spot.

  The strong smell of alcohol on his body was not due to drinking too much, but the irritating gas greatly interfered with the olfactory spell card master, and the wine stains on his clothes were also intentional. In this way, even if there was any psychic aura left on his body before, it is not easy to catch it now.

   And the logic of the corpse collector going to get drunk on holidays is not out of the ordinary.

  The cloaked man frowned as he looked at the "drunk" corpse collector in front of him.

  He thought that his hypnosis was successful, so he asked directly.

   "You went to collect the corpse in the cellar of No. 17 Tailor Street yesterday?"

"yes."

   "Did you find anything special?"

   "A lot of corpses were collected."

"anything else?"

   "It seems. I can't remember clearly. I only remember that there are many corpses."

  Hearing this vague answer, the cloaked man not only didn't continue to ask, but felt that it should be so, and murmured to himself: "Has the memory been cleaned, really?"

   This is also the reason why Ji Xun dared to go upstairs to face the danger.

  Normally speaking, if something is lost, the person behind the scenes should first look for two field agents from the Golden Oak Security Company.

   But now that they have found this place, they must have already found those two agents.

   That is to say, he must know that Golden Oak Security Company has a program of "clearing memory".

  Come here just to make sure.

   Killing is meaningless,

   Killing a small corpse collector is even more meaningless.

  He came looking for something.

  The man in the cloak was not interested in wasting time here at all. After asking a few questions, he left the dormitory directly.

   Waiting for the strange visitor to leave, Ji Xun's slack pupils slowly condensed, sharp and energetic.

   At the same time, he also released the tab hidden in the sleeve.

   After passing this level, the hidden danger in the cellar on Tailor Street will be completely eliminated.

  Ji Xun closed the door, and there was no big disturbance in his heart.

   As for changing the residence because someone came to the door?

   Not necessary.

   After all, for him, nowhere in the city is safe now.

   On the contrary, because someone has been to the dormitory, I feel more at ease.

   Now the fourth young master of the Cao family is most likely looking for him all over the city. The dormitory building of the body collector is remote enough and safer.

  Thinking of this, Ji Xun took out the nameless gold breathing method from the storage ring, and studied it carefully.

   What he has to do now is to improve his strength as soon as possible, and he will be really strong in the future, so he doesn't have to be frightened all the time.

  With 【Devil's Feast】, becoming stronger is also a matter of time.

   Now there is a suitable breathing method.

   All the work is done.

  Ji Xun seemed to be beckoning to him as he watched the "Roadway".

   It's like meeting that Vajra Demon Ape on the train before, and if there is a guy who dares to hypnotize labor and management, he will punch him one by one!

  The thin booklet seemed to have infinite magic power, Ji Xun flipped through it, and soon immersed himself in it.

  Super high comprehension allowed him to gradually understand the descriptions about the mystery of breathing.

  The more you realize it carefully, the more shocking you will feel.

   "This gap is too exaggerated, the gap between [Great Darkness Breathing Method] and this remnant breathing method is so big? No wonder the shopkeeper said that this is a remnant of breathing method related to ancient demon gods"

   The more Ji Xun looked at it, the more he found it incredible.

  He has attended the class before and knows some common sense.

  The breathing method has two main functions. The first is to breathe the free elements in the void to condense into its own mana power, and the second is to create a "water tank" for the body to hold the mana power.

  Generally speaking, the better the quality of the breathing method and the higher the coagulation efficiency, the larger the water tank you can cast.

  The rank of each card master apprentice is not the same as the mana value.

According to the rank description of [Great Darkness Breathing Method], the common breathing method, the card master apprentice's mana power is 1-9, and the approximate values ​​are 100, 150, 230, 360, 540, 810, 1200, 1800, 2700, 4000 ( full) look.

  Each paragraph is about 1.5 times increasing.

  The later the stage, the bigger the gap.

  The black iron breathing method and the silver breathing method usually have a 20-70% step-by-step increase in value. Usually it is also affected by other factors such as demon mark, occupational sequence, environment, medicine, etc., so even if it is the same breathing method, this value will vary from person to person.

   Judging from the description in the booklet in front of you, this incomplete golden breathing method has been repaired to the sixth stage, and the mana value will already exceed 4000!

   This requires nine levels of cultivation, so it must be many times that of ordinary card master apprentices?

   Even comparable to an official spell card master.

  However, this is still learned by ordinary people.

  Ji Xun's situation is different from that of ordinary people learning this breathing method!

  The demon contract he fused is a very special 【JOKER】.

  The breathing method also has a hidden threshold, which is the individual's endurance.

   Simply put, it is the resistance to the spell power brought by the elemental affinity to the body.

  The higher the affinity, the more mana the body can hold.

  Element affinity can be improved by acquired practice and some materials, and it is usually directly related to the mark of the devil.

   This is also the reason why the older the magic card masters, the stronger the spell power.

  Although Ji Xun's current affinity for each department is not high, he can devour corpses!

  Fusion [JOKER] has gained all-element affinity growth, as long as there are enough high-quality corpses, he can even make each element affinity to a very high level.

  What concept?

   That is to say, if he really cultivated it under his conditions, the value of mana power would even far exceed the theoretical data in the brochure.

   "What is the origin of this secret technique?"

  Ji Xun has never even touched the black iron breathing method, so he didn't know how powerful the breathing method in his hand was for a while.

   But as far as the value estimated in his mind is, it is already outrageous.

  Combined with [JOKER], the effect is not at all inferior to that of silver breathing method that can touch porcelain.

   Not one grade higher, but many!

   And this is still a fragment.

  Based on what the shopkeeper said, it seems that this breathing method has a lot of background?

   In other words, there may be other people in the city practicing the follow-up formula?

  Ji Xun has even begun to look forward to what the complete breathing method will look like.

   But six formulas are enough for now.

   For a long time in the future, Ji Xun will not need to worry about the breathing method.

   What's more, if you really want to cultivate to the sixth level of mana power, why do you feel that the mana power value is already at the peak of the card master apprentice?

  Ji Xun knew that the [JOKER] imprint he fused was very powerful, but at this moment, he once again realized its hidden exaggerated increase!

   Soon, Ji Xun read through this incomplete breathing method for the first time.

  He has memorized all the formulas in his mind.

   And the super high comprehension makes the brain like a computer, inputting those code-like formulas, it seems to be running all at once.

  Analysis, enlightenment, understanding, mastery.

  After pondering for a few hours, Ji Xun felt that he seemed to have mastered it.

  At least the formula in the previous paragraph is known.

  The calculated exaggerated mana value made him a little dubious.

  The mana value of the first level of formula training exceeds 1000?

  [Golden Fragment] One paragraph ≈ [Darkness Breathing Method] Six paragraphs?

   This outrageous gap made him always feel that he had overlooked something and miscalculated.

   Without thinking too much, Ji Xun started the practical operation.

  He lay cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.

  Following the breathing formula in the booklet, he began to try to breathe out various elemental particles in the air.

   Close your eyes for nearly an hour.

  At a certain moment, the feeling of complete qi made Ji Xun withdraw from the state of engrossed elemental breathing.

   He opened his eyes.

   It takes one hour for the mana to complete a cycle, which is twice as slow as the [Darkness Breathing Method].

  But Ji Xun's eyes were shining brightly.

because,

  The mana value increased by more than ten times!

  Ji Xun knew very well that his mana value before meditation was 115.

   Now it is 119.

   It has risen by a full 4 points.

  What is this concept?

  Switch to the previous breathing method, the maximum increase is 0.3!

   And according to the calculation of the previous dark breathing method, he already has a value of 100, which is already a period of mana.

  After reaching this value, there will be a sense of saturation of breathing, and then the efficiency of absorbing elements with this formula will be greatly reduced, or even stagnant.

  This requires the second breathing formula to increase the height of the "water tank wall" and practice after increasing the capacity.

However.

  This incomplete golden breathing method is different.

   It was only the first formula, which made him feel completely "overfilled".

   This heavy mantra created a super exaggerated "water tank bottom" for him. Even if it is the same as the first paragraph, the mana capacity is ten times larger than before!

  Ji Xun realized that this breathing method was indeed far stronger than expected after some practice.

  The reason why there is such an exaggerated efficiency is because there are enough elements to breathe.

  Before it could only absorb dark elements.

  Now, all kinds of elements can absorb and transform into mana together.

  Before [Great Darkness Breathing Method], it was like drawing a thread, drawing out a black absorption from a piece of color.

  Now this incomplete gold secret method is like swallowing all the free element particles around it.

  Feeling the changes brought about by changing the breathing method, Ji Xun felt that the previous adventure on Dark Rain Street was totally worth it.

   This saves him ten times more meditation time.

   "Hiss, this breathing method is so powerful."

  Ji Xun realized the benefits, and after being shocked for a moment, he closed his eyes again and began to meditate.

  As long as he is given enough time, the road to the spell card master will be smooth.

   The little accident that happened to Dark Rain Street before was instantly worth it!
