the last king of darkness

Chapter 62 Spiritual Energy Upgrade
Fighting is a very serious matter in the academy, from deduction of credits, to confinement, to expulsion, and everything is taken away by internal affairs.

But Kashan's face is very useful to the teacher. After her explanation, the teacher only took Habrin and the three away, but did not deal with Rhodes.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The selection date is approaching, and there must be no moths at this time.

Rhodes just wanted to thank Kashan, but she left with a flick of her hair.

What's wrong with this girl?Rhodes felt a little strange, but his affairs were so intricate that he didn't have time to think about it.

In the next few days, the days returned to tranquility.

Rhodes is studying hard every day, constantly cultivating humanity, and practicing the skills of using psionic energy.

It has to be said that Rhodes always felt that he had a strange talent, an innate instinct for the use of psionic energy, and he learned everything at once.

Even Kashan, who has always been excellent, is not as fast as him. She only relies on the power given to her by the fire, possessing huge strange power and fists as hard as steel.

However, when Rhodes went to receive customized training from special students again, Mina, who taught him advanced handjob skills, told him that with his current strength, these skills should not be used in actual combat.

Because his psychic power is too weak, these techniques cannot effectively resist monster attacks or cause damage to monsters, and the damage of handjobs far exceeds the power of fists.

To illustrate this point more vividly, Mina took out a box of pebbles.

"This is fluorite. As long as you input spiritual energy, it will glow. Light up a single spiritual energy, and it will be a moment."

"There are a thousand of them in this box, lighting them up is one of the trials for becoming a full-fledged combatant."

Rhodes stretched out his hand, trying to light up all the fluorites through the last method, but he failed.

Every fluorite was absorbing his spiritual energy all the time, no matter how much effort he expended, it could only light up one corner of it.

"This is your highest spiritual strength, 171 ticks."

Mina took out a large drawing sheet and raised her glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"According to my self-created mechanics formula, the damage equivalent of your full-strength punch is at most 4. If you hit a low-level monster, it won't even lose a single hair, it can only clean up the dust."

"As for the real silver bullet of the Spirit Spear, the damage equivalent of a light hit is 70, and the damage equivalent of a heavy hit is 160, which is 40 times that of your fist."

Rhodes stretched out his head to take a look, dazzled formulas, all kinds of tall charts.

Mina pushed her glasses: "Don't look at it, you don't understand it. It's all super-class content. It's not taught in the academy. Only the top scholars will be exposed to this knowledge."

Rhodes frowned. He really couldn't understand many places, but he still understood the parts involving mechanics.

"Aren't you right? The Lagrangian kinetic equations are written wrong. Your symbol like 'caress' should be on the top of the equation, not in front. According to your equation description, my fist is a big pendulum, but It's actually a straight line."

"Also, your second-order variable coefficient linear differential equation is also wrong. According to the number in front of you, the deduced value should be 71, not 55."

Rhodes picked up the charcoal pencil and changed it wildly.

"...So, the damage equivalent of my full punch should be 5, and the heavy blow of the Spirit Spear is only 32 times that of mine, not 40 times."

Rhodes dropped the charcoal pencil, looked up, and saw that Mina seemed to be frozen by the hold technique.

Rhodes touched it and was immediately bounced away by her slap.

Cut, it turned out to be a fake, I thought it could make up for the regret of watching monkeys back then.

Mina's pretty face was slightly red, and her big eyes seemed to be rippling with water, and seemed to be burning with flames. She looked Rhodes up and down, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"How do you know such advanced knowledge? Which university student are you?"

Rhodes blinked.

Is this also profound?Isn't this what elementary school students will do?Wangcheng is so advanced, it seems that it should have reached the age of electricity, at least it is also the era of mutated psionic electricity, how could it not even understand the mechanics?
"...I said I was self-taught, do you believe me?"

"Impossible." Mina categorically denied: "Only the smartest brain can understand such knowledge. If you can't explain it, I can only understand it as a gift from the evil god."

Rhodes was taken aback, and immediately said: "Of course not. When I was young, an old man passed by my door and said that I had strange bones. This Tathagata... The classic of mechanics is given to you. I have studied it for ten years to be able to do this." results."

Mina looked at him dubiously: "Where are the books?"

Rhodes pointed to his head.

Mina wondered: "Which university student is it? Why do I always feel like you made it up on the spot? Well... not necessarily, most university students have weird tempers and it is difficult to understand. They do such strange things. from."

Rhodes nodded deeply: "You are right."

After that, the two exchanged knowledge on this aspect.

Rhodes found that her knowledge was messy and unsystematic. She clearly understood waves, but she didn't even know the theorem of inertia. Rhodes said for a long time that physical motion on a smooth mirror surface would not stop, so she insisted on talking about her Yuzu is also smooth, but still stops on the ground.

Rhodes said her feet were not smooth enough, and Mina got angry and insisted on taking off her shoes for him to touch.

Rhodes couldn't resist her, so he tried it. It was ice-cold, soft, and slippery, and it had a faint fragrance after being rubbed with aragana essential oil.

He raised his head, met Mina's murderous gaze, and had to admit that he was wrong.

Mina's Joy +9
Humanity +1
Well, when humanity speaks, truth must be silent.

However, Rhodes found that Wangcheng's mathematics is very developed, and the specific performance is that Mina already understands topology and functional analysis.

This proves that their mathematics has developed at least to the point of modern times. No wonder there are numerical quantifications for various indicators.

And Rhodes' mathematical background shocked Mina even more.

She is already known as the once-in-a-century mathematics genius in Wangcheng. Her teacher, His Excellency Amides, a scholar of Wangcheng University, praised her very much and has already trained her as a closed disciple. Among the younger generation, her mathematical ability is unmatched. However, even the Grand Observation Terrace sometimes invites her to solve difficult problems.

And the boy in front of her who is nine years younger than her can actually keep up with her!

Mina's heart pounded.

Wang Cheng's desire for mathematicians is very great, but most of them focus on spiritual power and specific combat power, and dismiss real knowledge.

The high threshold of mathematics is also prohibitive.

Therefore, a scholar with extremely high attainments in mathematics is actually quite lonely.

If this handsome and cute little guy can be introduced into the teacher's school and become her primary school student, won't she have a companion?They can communicate in depth about everything they are interested in, day and night.

However, Rhode's combat talent is also quite high, he may not be willing to switch to the school of knowledge.

Mina hesitated.

However, when they discussed the complex calculations of fluid mechanics, Rhodes proposed a very interesting idea. Starting from the basis of energy conservation, he studied the flow of water in the water supply pipeline, and obtained the flow velocity, pressure, and relationship between the pipelines under fluid motion. The relationship can greatly reduce the complexity of calculation under certain conditions.

Mina made up her mind in an instant, no matter what method she used, she would get him into the teacher's school and become her primary school student.

"Rod."

Mina stood up suddenly, her high chest covering Rhode's entire line of sight.

"Your psionic ascension ceremony is ready, let's do it now."

"Ah? Didn't you say that there is a shortage of materials? Do you have to wait a few days?"

Mina said solemnly: "Your psychic strength has greatly exceeded the psychic level. If things go on like this, it will be harmful to your soul, just like we don't encourage teenagers to wear leggings."

You might as well not say it, it feels like my soul has changed color... Rhodes got up and came to the ceremony hall. According to what Mina said, he took off his robe and lay in a large font on a place similar to an operating table.

But when Mina asked him to take off his clothes, he kept an eye out and asked, is it true?What's the use of getting naked?

Seeing her twinkling eyes and flushed face, she knew it was a lie.

Although Rhodes is not a shy and innocent boy, this kind of one-sided view is somewhat uncomfortable, and the two are more or less equal to each other.

Mina didn't force it either, and pushed a trolley over, lit the incense, and applied all kinds of essential oils on his body. Her slender hands were not particularly calm, and her soft fingertips gently pressed his On his stomach and chest, the slender nails barely scratched his skin, making Rhodes wonder whether this was necessary for the psionic level-up ceremony, or she was just taking advantage of it.

Fortunately, Mina didn't do it for too long.

She quickly pushed two huge transformer-like instruments over, placed two crystal clusters like liquid blue light on his forehead, and stuffed a red crystal-like object into his mouth.

"Okay, it's a bit strong, bear with it."

Mina stood away, her expression became serious, powerful spiritual energy gathered in her hands, ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the air, and two giant transformers hummed.

She raised her hands and shouted:

"lightning!"

In an instant, a huge white light penetrated Rhode's body, and with a bang, Rhode crushed the red crystal, his eyes went black, and he passed out.

When he opened his eyes, he had come to the dream world and was standing blankly in front of the obelisk.

The dream became strange, the gray fog became rapid, the sky was thundering and lightning, the branches of the lightning bent wantonly, and the cold light before the storm shrouded the world.

A huge lightning strike struck him, and he lost consciousness again.

When Rhodes woke up again, he saw Mina standing in front of him with a smile.

"Congratulations, the ceremony was very successful. You have taken the first step to become an extraordinary fire holder. You have officially stepped into the palace of psychic power, and you are no longer a person who is blocked from the threshold."

Rhodes looked at him suspiciously: "Have I never started?"

Mina smiled and said, "Of course not. Level-[-] psionic energy is like a giant crab without shedding its shell, or a caterpillar without a cocoon. It is an incomplete form, a transitional form from a mortal to an extraordinary person. Stepping from the first level to the second level is like changing from a shrimp to a cancer, from a worm to a butterfly, and then you will grow up again, but there will be no such change from a cocoon to a butterfly, until you step into a very human threshold."

Joyful in his heart, Rhode raised his hand, and as soon as he thought about it, psionic energy gushed out from the depths of his soul like a flood that opened the gate.

A particularly clear and direct feeling is reflected in the spirit, which is in stark contrast to the foggy feeling before, as if a hundred layers of gauze have been removed.

There was nothing to cover him, and he and his psychic energy were nakedly stuck together, and there was a wonderful sense of freedom.

Mina waited empathetically for a while, until Rhodes was familiar with the new soul structure, and then smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll give you a full body test."

She took Rhodes by the hand, went to another room, and conducted a comprehensive test on him again.

Rhodes' detailed data was also updated on the Mechanical Research Institute's personal report.

Psionic Level: 2
Maximum psionic strength: 366 ticks

Maximum psionic output: 50 ticks

Average Reiatsu: 15
Estimated total psionic energy: 22-81 kk
-

This time, the data increased explosively compared to the last time. Rhode was overjoyed. The more he grew, the higher the probability of getting the "Golden Worth Star" medal.

After bidding farewell to the reluctant Mina, Rhode quickly returned to the third dormitory, closed the door, and hung a pogo pin on the door lock. As long as someone pushed the door, the pogo pin would shoot out and hit him.

Rhodes has tried it once, and he can definitely wake up from the dream.

He quickly jumped onto the bed, made a lightning gesture, and his soul soared into the sky and came to the dreamland.

The dream has been restored, the sky, the earth and the distance are foggy and chaotic, the silent mist flows in the air, and the gray-white land stretches silently under the feet until it reaches an invisible end.

But with the addition of a hut, the feeling of the dream is completely different, as if the dream has a fulcrum and is no longer empty.

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the previous vision was only a short-lived change during the upgrade.

The dream hasn't changed.

Rhodes pressed his hand on the obelisk.

In the next moment, he saw a change.

At the top of the obelisk, there are a few more lines of text.

Soul Strength: 39
Soul Stars: 2
Humanity: 992
Divinity: 55
Spiritless Soul: 241
-

This is my data?

Rhodes looked carefully.

It looks so strong.

Perhaps it can be mutually confirmed with the report of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.

After studying for a while, Rhodes discovered that the strength of the soul is the sum of the strengths of the two stars.

That is to say, the soul star is actually a part of my soul?

Or is there some kind of induction between them?
Rhodes asked similar questions to the Book of Knowledge, but it didn't have this knowledge.

During this period of time, Rhodes had a lot of dealings with the Book of Knowledge, and he had a certain understanding of it——

It can answer the vast majority of questions about lore or derivatives of lore, but all lore except dreams comes at a price.

The price is generally some kind of material, and it is paid if it is put into its mouth in writing.

The price is related to the rarity of knowledge, the more people who know, the smaller the price to pay.

If Rhodes asks a question from a textbook, the most common price is redstone.

Redstone is a specialty of Redstone Village. It is mainly used to make urns and store the ashes of monsters.

Sometimes it is also used to hold human ashes.

However, the ashes of most people will be sent to the fire, which is the custom of Wangcheng.

They believe that the best destination for the dead is to return to the embrace of fire, and their spirits will sleep forever in the warm world of fire.

Only the heinous are not allowed to be cremated.

Because of this, the residents of Wangcheng are very afraid of capital punishment, and they worry that they will not be able to find peace after death.

The price of red stones is not high. In order to facilitate asking questions, Rhodes bought a lot of red stones and stored them in the dreamland.

It does work.

The Book of Knowledge is simply the best teacher, the answers it gives are comprehensive, standard, and easy to understand.

With its help, Rhodes figured out many problems that he didn't understand in class, and the homework left by the teacher was excellent every time. His total credits have reached 122, which is considered top-notch in the entire ten departments.

It would be great if it could be used in the exam room.

Rhodes thought.

But this is somewhat risky, and it is best not to use it if it is not necessary.

Subsequently.

Rhodes added phlogiston to the candle and lit the stone platform.

Put a lump of ashes on the stone platform, which is the ashes he bought.

Another fifty copies of humanity were taken out, and the black sediment on the obelisk's humanity side fell by half in an instant.

It seems to be capped at only 1000.
Fifty parts of humanity are like a wriggling shadow, not enough to fill a hand.

Then put humanity on the stone platform, and the item "Guardian of the Darkness" on the stone panel lights up.

Rhode tapped lightly, and all of a sudden, the tools on the entire stone platform flew out, large and small chests kept opening and closing, all kinds of sticks, hammers and saws were hammering wildly at the materials on the stone platform.

Rhodes was taken aback. Although he already knew that the stone platform would be completed by itself, he did not expect such a scene.

He saw various tools roughly breaking down the materials, and couldn't help worrying whether the production would fail.

Fortunately, the production was quickly over, with the tools returning to their place and the chest of drawers closed neatly.

On the stone platform, an eye shining with a gloomy light was watching him quietly.

It seems to be made of jade, smooth as a mirror but lifelike.

On the stone panel, the description under "Guardian of the Darkness" changed to: "Only make two copies".

It worked!
Rhodes happily picked it up and looked at it over and over again.

"Guardian of the Darkness" can reduce the damage to the obelisk, and it is definitely the trump card for life.

Rhodes stored it in the chest of drawers at the bottom of the stone platform, which is a special place for keeping items, and there is also 1 of his multi-spirituality inside.

it is good.

My life is a little more secure.

Rhodes left the dream with satisfaction and entered a real sleep.

In the next few days, Rhodes entered the final sprint stage, concentrating on preparing for the monthly exam and "Golden Worth Star", and even lost his humanity.

As the exam date approached, all the students became tense, the air was full of anxiety, the figures on the road became hurried, the common room was full of self-study students, even the always lazy Zalai Both Stanley and Wayne began to study hard through the night.

Soon, the exam that will determine the fate of the students to some extent comes.
