Chapter 166

Four spirits and eight blades are not only the most common spirit blades, but also the first batch of spirit blades, the ancestor of modern spirit blades.

They are the first batch of spirit blades and also represent the first generation of sword masters, only the choice of four spirits and eight blades.

At the beginning, resources and technology were extremely limited, and it was quite rare for them to be able to break through the first spiritual blade to the limit. Let alone free development and infinite self-evolution, it was already extremely difficult to develop eight paths.

Suzaku Sword, Suzaku Qin, Azure Dragon Spear, Azure Dragon Whip, White Tiger Fist, White Tiger Bow, Xuanwu Shield, Xuanwu Hammer, and Eight Blades are all main weapons, covering the most commonly used cold weapon types and tactical needs.

The sword masters back then were not as rich as they are now, and their psychic energy system was not comprehensive enough. Raising a spiritual blade has already ruined their fortunes, and all their wealth has been invested in it. combat power.

Now that the eight blades have become the only reliance, the first-generation sword masters desperately explored the path and potential of the eight blades, and forcibly turned it into a model that is easy to learn but difficult to master, broad and profound.

Judging from the current point of view, the eight blades are indeed a bit congenitally deficient, and it is definitely a colorless spiritual blade, but the expansion routes become more and more in the later stage, from pure attribute psionic amplifiers to the most dangerous attack weapons, even including It is possible to develop element amplifiers.

"Actually, the four spirits and eight blades have corresponding element attributes. There are still many element masters who will actively choose the eight blades. The Suzaku is fire, the blue dragon is wood and wind, the white tiger is earth and metal, and the basaltic is water ( Ice), they have the intrinsic properties of mutual generation and mutual restraint of elements, with the blue dragon as the base, the red bird as the blade, the wood as the fire, and the wind as the fire, it is also a classic combination of the past.”

Fusion of spiritual blades is an ancient technology left over from the past. According to the relationship between elements, two spiritual blades are actually combined into one, so that their spirituality can be increased, and their combat power and potential can be greatly improved in a short period of time.

"Hey, isn't this very powerful? Why haven't I seen anyone use it now? I haven't heard of it."

Chief Long shook his head, this skill is actually a double-edged sword, not everyone can master it.

"After the two are combined into one, the biological energy feedback is still counted as two, and the materials needed to upgrade will be more than doubled, and the feedback will also be doubled, but in actual combat, you will permanently lose a spirit blade, or even , there is one less spiritual race that may awaken, even if the eight-bladed spirit race has a very low awakening success rate."

And what Long Shizhang said later became quieter, which is the fundamental reason why Ba Ren is not seen by people now.

Ordinary spirit blades are the consciousness projection of the sword master's soul product on the spiritual material. The four spirits only play the role of media and help. The adaptability of the sword master and the spirit blade is the highest. Good nutrition, relatively fast growth.

The birth process of the four spirits and eight blades is reversed, the four spirits are the dominant, and the sword master becomes the assistant, which makes the eight blades born with low spirituality, and grows extremely slowly at the soul level, and the chance of awakening the spirit race is quite low.

There were no bottlenecks before the three breakthroughs in the early stage, and only spiritual materials at the material level were enough. On the contrary, due to the systematic experience route, the growth was extremely fast.

And when it reaches the stage of four outbursts, experience is still useful at this time, but it is prone to problems. Just like a child, you can arrange what he eats and learns. When he is an adult, he will naturally have his own personality and pursuit. Listen selectively.

What is even more sad is that the spirituality is so insufficient that it has no self-awareness at all, and cannot give back what materials you need for growth.

Blind feeding is too inefficient and requires repeated exploration and adjustments. Maybe the spiritual materials saved in the previous three bursts can be used in four bursts in one go.

This is also when Zheng Li easily helped Tiger Yisaki back then. She was so surprised that she doubted her life. I, a sword master, don't even know what materials I need for my spiritual blade. How do you know.

In fact, Zheng Li really knew.

Born as a civilian, he naturally expected to walk the road in an unfamiliar environment. In the beginning, he used to work on sword gambling, and he earned a lot of contribution points within the intelligence agency (mentioned earlier).

And since only the system of Four Spirits and Eight Blades is relatively fixed among Spiritual Blades, he naturally starts with that. The latest version of the low-consumption formula of Four Spirits and Eight Blades is the product of his experience.

But later I found that my situation was not right, and if I continued, I might expose myself. Moreover, the effectiveness of this ability and formula is really limited. Spiritual Blade depends more on long-term cultivation, and a high starting point may not necessarily lead to high returns.

When he found that the world was too unsafe, and being a researcher might have high risks and low returns, he didn't develop there.

But by the way, there is an urban legend. In a certain alley, there is a master of metaphysics in a white coat. He has a special secret method to increase the shipment rate of gambling blades by 100%. Another scam rumor.

During this process, his understanding of the four spirits and eight blades is quite deep, and the samples are roughly similar in performance, so it is possible to study the methods and rules.

In addition, he has mastered a lot of secrets of the four spirits and eight blades from various channels, such as the "melting blade method" currently used on Torora Yisaki.

The premise of its use is quite strict, and it must be at the same spiritual knife stage, and it must conform to the principle of mutual growth of water to wood, wood to fire, fire to earth, earth to metal, and metal to water. In this era, a main weapon is difficult enough to raise, who It will be fine to get two four spirits and eight blades, and they have all evolved to a very high level.

Back then, this special technique was usually used on the spiritual blade with extremely low spirituality when combat power was urgently needed, sacrificing the future a little in exchange for powerful immediate combat power.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not a sacrifice. After all, the two-in-one spirituality improvement can greatly increase the possibility of the awakening of the spirit race. The main loss actually means that the sword master will permanently lose one usable spirit. blade.

"You have four, it's too much. And you don't know how to use it at all. Why don't you use 2-in-1 for one that is easy to use. Besides, you have been in contact with psionic power for 17 or 18 years, let alone the awakening of the spirit race. Blade's consciousness can't even be perceived, and the spirituality is too lacking, what kind of rubbish materials you used for breakthroughs before."

Zheng Li inquired, pulled out a list, and confirmed that Tiger Yisaki's spirit blade was indeed congenitally deficient. The previous three spikes were all cheap goods, and the improvement of spirituality was quite limited, and there was no feeding of soul fragments (actual combat killing) during the upgrade. In a sense, he has encountered the worst death bottleneck.

"I want to let the spirit blade break through again to gain the improvement of spiritual power, and to obtain the possibility of the fifth blade!"

"These four spiritual blades show no signs of breakthrough at all, and are already 'dead'. I want to have the fifth blade, and use the new spiritual blade to obtain the possibility of spiritual breakthrough."

The choice of eight blades that are too eager for quick success and instant benefits, as well as the repeated low-altitude fast-level material selection that is eager to break through, have made Tora Ichisaki's spiritual blade problems extremely serious, and normal methods cannot be solved at all.

Weaknesses in this area, one is that there are too many main weapons, and human arms are limited, so many spiritual blades can only provide biological energy bonuses, which is almost equivalent to none.

And since spirit blades are all weapons, defense and maneuverability are flawed, and Zheng Li can't find a way to make up for it in a short time, so he can only take one step at a time.

As for the resource consumption of the main weapon doubling, it is only a trivial matter compared to other disadvantages.

The second is that if the spirit blade is unable to make four breakthroughs for a long time, or the profit is too small when it is four breakthroughs, she who cannot use each breakthrough opportunity to grow, and still cannot reach the fifth blade, even if she is completely stuck there.

This is a fatal injury to the sword master, but in this regard, Zheng Li is actually a little guilty.

At that time, in order to prove her ability, the blue dragon whip that helped Tiger Yisaki broke through four times was also the material that passed the lowest space, which was equivalent to giving up the qualitative change that this breakthrough might bring, and she was stuck even more dead.

Now, even if the remaining three spirit blades break through successfully, they still break through with comprehensive nutrition and sufficient materials. Zheng Li doubts whether the spiritual evolution and upper limit of spiritual power brought about by this will be enough for Hu Yisaki's fifth The chance of the blade. No one has come to lay a foundation with all eight blades these days, and even passed all the way at low altitude. The foundation is really bad.

It stands to reason that the four three-pointed spiritual blades should already have the feeling that they are about to break through, but Tiger Yisaki always feels that the spiritual energy is insufficient.

In the end, after communicating with Torano Ichisaki, he decided to adopt a mature and complete technical routine and try the fusion blade method.

It took Zheng Li a whole night to try a lot of materials before he fused the Azure Dragon Whip and the Vermilion Bird Sword together, creating the current Flame Snake Belly Sword.

Before that, Torora Ichisaki still hesitated.

She wasn't worried that she would lose a main weapon. In fact, except for the White Tiger Fist, she hadn't used much other spiritual blades.

"If...if they could possibly give birth to Eldar."

But Zheng Li told her very bluntly that if the spirituality is enough to generate self-awareness, the fusion will directly fail, and no one can accept being a part of others.

And if the fusion is successful, uh, it means that the lack of spirituality of the two blades is a dead thing, and the congenital deficiency has reached a certain level, and the incomplete spirituality is eager to complement itself.

Because the conditions of use are too harsh, it is also the reason why these skills are stored or lost. In the past, everyone used four spirits and eight blades. Secret techniques and esoteric teachings naturally became the knowledge reserves of researchers.

There are only eight blades in total. Although the specific shape of each eight blades is different, the types of weapons will not be too different. The Suzaku Sword may become the Suzaku Sword, but it is impossible to become the Suzaku Shield.

The sword whip (snake belly sword) that may be produced by the Azure Dragon Whip and the Suzaku Sword is undoubtedly the result that Zheng Li most expects to see.

"31% fail with no response, 27% have unknown response (many possibilities), and 42% have a possibility of sword whip. The time is too tight, if you don't grind a little bit, the success rate will be higher."

Undoubtedly, Zheng Li was also gambling.

But seeing Tiger Yisaki on the screen chasing the other contestants in high spirits, Zheng Li knew that he had won the bet.
