Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 319: Consensus on the Ring of Phantom Beasts

 “Dragon Knight’s attack power is good.”

“The lightsaber is still too strong. A 3-ring lightsaber can break a 4-ring compound arcana... I have to say, this is a great technology.”

“The lightsaber is overloaded after all.”

“However, Lord Duke’s dragon knight form and the ability to control multiple lightsabers for range attacks still have great merits.”

“Ordinary Earth Arcana mages may not be able to block the advance of Lord Prophet.”

“Yes, Stephen Yihu is a veteran arcanist. He has all kinds of arcana at his fingertips, and he has perfected them all.”

"This first wave of competition is really evenly matched!" Kailic Gray Deer exclaimed in the airship, "The knight's biggest shortcoming in facing the arcane mage has been made up for with the soaring battle of the dragon knight. It’s all done.”

 Suddenly, Kailic Gray Deer exclaimed: "Hey! Is this breath! An ability that only Yalong has!"

But the bigger surprise is yet to come, but after breathing out, the armored mongoose dragon turned into a **** light and merged into Duke's body.

 The next moment, the light faded away.

Three meters tall, a ferocious half-human, half-dragon figure appeared in front of everyone.

The black wings flapped slightly, and Duke spun in a circle in the air, holding up the huge dragon tail sword in his hand. Driven by unparalleled power, the Dragon Tail Sword was like a sharp arrow, instantly crossing the barriers of time and space and hitting the wind shield.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang!

The wind shield shattered in response, and Stephen Yihu was startled. Fortunately, the wind shield was his instant arcane spell. When there was no time to cast it, he reassembled a wind shield, and then cast it at the dragon's tail. It was shattered by the penetration of the sword.

 Condensed again, broken again.

After breaking through five wind shields in a row, the fighting spirit on the Dragon Tail Sword was finally exhausted, and was taken back by Duke with the fighting force field.

Stephen Yihu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he softly uttered "Sir, I'm offended", and saw a pair of crescent-shaped roulette wheels condensed in front of him.

 The whole body is green, like jade.

With spiritual energy poured into them, the pair of crescent roulette disks seemed to be shrouded in the wind, instantly turning into cyan wind and surrounding Stephen Yihu's hands.

"go!"

With a shake of his hands, the green wind instantly struck in front of Duke.

 Duke was unhurried, holding the Dragon Tail Sword in his right hand. Fighting energy in the form of a **** glow instantly burst out from the blade of the Dragon Tail Sword.

　　Stretched to both sides, condensing into an oversized shield.

　　Boom!

The green wind hit the Dragon Tail Sword and shield, making a heart-piercing friction sound, as if countless mice were grinding their teeth.

“The arcane weapon is good!” Duke was suspended behind the Dragon Tail Sword shield, and on the Dou Qi holographic screen, what was the cyan wind released by Stephen Wing Tiger.

 This is the 4-ring arcane weapon - Qinggang Double Ring.

As a veteran earth arcane mage, Stephen Yihu naturally has a trump card at the bottom of the box. This pair of Qinggang Double Rings is his trump card.

Seeing that the double green rings could not break the defense of the Dragon Tail Sword and Shield, Stephen Yihu made a move with his hand, and the green wind quickly returned and fell into his hand, showing the shape of the green crescent double rings.

Duke also put away his dragon-tailed sword and shield, which had numerous scratches, and replaced it with a broad-bladed sword more than four meters long.

 Leap up, cross a distance of tens of meters, and rush to Stephen Yihu. The dragon's tail sword slashed down, and the **** sword light slashed out for dozens of meters, as if it was about to cut off the sky with one sword. All in half a breath.

In Stephen Yihu's eyes, he just calmed down his breathing a little before he was greeted by Duke's ferocious attack.

 He can only cast the Wind Shield instantly, and then use the Wind Movement to retreat back.

At the same time, he did not forget to wave his hands and threw the double green gang rings out again, turning into two blue gang winds, one on the left and one on the right to attack Duke.

 Duke was undaunted.

Let the green wind blow on him, and the blood-colored fighting energy activates the scales on his body, making them black and red, especially ferocious.

 The dragon tail sword in his hand was opened and closed, raised high and dropped heavily, directly smashing four or five of Stephen Yihu's instant wind shields.

 The two of them maintained this state of attacking and defending each other for a full minute.

In this minute, Duke has lost count of how many 4-ring compound arcana-wind shields he has chopped into pieces. However, Stephen Wing Tiger's psychic power does not exhaust, so he can instantly cast more wind shields. , resisting the slash of the Dragon Tail Sword.

At the same time, the green wind was blowing randomly on Duke. It seemed that it was not sharp enough, but in fact, the defense of True Dragon Symbiosis was too strong.

 But even so, a minute later, the scales on Duke's body were already in tatters.

However, Duke didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of pain. Blood had already filled his eyes. He repeated the slashing action with his sword and chased Stephen Yihu from the starting point for dozens of kilometers.

 When one wind shield is broken, another wind shield condenses.

 Seems endless.

But Duke was not agitated at all. His **** eyes were always staring at Stephen Wing Tiger, looking for the momentary gap between the two wind shields, striving to kill him with one blow.

Stephen Yihu has already felt deep pressure. His strongest attack method, Qinggang Double Ring, cannot cause much damage to Duke. In particular, Duke is covered in fine dragon scales from head to toe, without any dead ends.

Moreover, the powerful arcane spells he took the time to release also did not cause much damage to Duke.

The defensive power of the 4-ring dragon knight is more exaggerated than imagined.

“Ah!” Stephen Wing Tiger roared through gritted teeth, trying to muster a more powerful arcane attack.

However, at the moment when he was condensing the arcana, the instantaneous spiritual energy output could not keep up, causing the gap between the two wind shields to condense slightly widened by a fraction of a second.

　　It was this tenth of a second that was quickly captured by Duke, who looked attentive.

In an almost subconscious reaction, the Dragon Tail Sword, wrapped with a sharp **** sword light, broke through Stephen Yihu's defense before the new wind shield condensed, and the sword light slashed directly on Stephen Yihu's forehead. , then hover.

  Crash.

 The new wind shield was raised, blocking the **** sword light.

But Stephen Yihu was stunned on the spot. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched his forehead, and warm liquid flowed out.

 It is blood, bright red blood.

 The skin of his forehead split into a small wound. Two drops of blood flowed out from the wound, and it healed quickly.

"I...I lost, sir." Stephen Yihu was a little unwilling, but in the end he admitted defeat dejectedly.

 The cyan Gangfeng is withdrawn, and the battle has been decided.

Duke nodded calmly. If he hadn't stopped the Dragon Tail Sword in time, if the blow just now had been strong, Stephen Yihu would have been seriously disabled at least. Although the wind shield can be propped up after 0.1 second, this 0.1 second is enough to change everything.

After the true dragon symbiosis state was dispelled, the armored mongoose dragon beast appeared, panting and snorting twice from its nostrils.

  Almost none of the scales on its body were intact, and they were all damaged by the attack of Qinggang Double Ring. Fortunately, the Qinggang Double Ring was finally scratched a little.

 Otherwise Xiaodou will never be able to hold on.

 The loser may be Duke.

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the 4th-level Dragon Knight and the 4th-level Arcane Earth Mage is about the same - Stephen Yihu is a veteran Arcane Earth Mage, while Duke has just advanced to Dragon Knight, and Kabuto's strength is still growing, and his strength is still in growth.

 After being fully developed, the 4th level Dragon Knight can now single-handedly challenge and kill the 4th level Earth Arcane Mage.

certainly.

 Arcane mages have powerful group attacks, and all arcane spells are range attacks. Although the dragon knight is strong in one-on-one combat, the only move that can attack in a group is breath.

 Using Qi to control the sword can also attack in groups, but it is a bit flashy.

The main thing depends on what kind of sword you are controlling when you control the sword with Qi. If you control more than a dozen sub-dragon weapons, the power will naturally be overwhelming.

"Go back." Duke was a little embarrassed wearing arcane armor, and his clothes had been torn to pieces in the state of true dragon symbiosis.

It's not easy to change into a set of clothes in front of people, so I can only condense the arcane armor to cover it up first.

Fortunately, the airship watching the battle followed him all the way. When Duke entered it, he quickly changed into a new set of clothes and came out in high spirits.

 “My lord, you are mighty!” Boris Black Jade took the lead in flattering him.

Bernoulli has passed away, and now the Black Jade family relies on him to support him, and he is also getting old. He could only hug Duke's thigh tightly, hoping that after he followed his father, the Black Jade family could still get some protection from Duke.

“Dragon Knight’s combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, with strong defense and single-target attack power, which can somewhat restrain the Great Arcana Mage.” Suktara’s pertinent comment.

Stephen Yihu touched his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I thought I could at least have a tie with the adults, but I didn't expect that I lost. This sword strike really scared me silly. I haven't encountered it in many years. This pressure between life and death.”

Duke shook his head and said: "In future competitions, I'd better use my clone to do the work. If I don't have enough control, this sword may accidentally hurt you."

If Stephen Wing Tiger was killed in the competition, Duke would be in big trouble.

The Seven Towers Federation strictly prohibits internal fighting among arcane mages. This is a consensus that the stars have worked hard to reach for thousands of years, and even the stars cannot violate it at will.

 Such a competition is also subject to restrictions.

It’s okay if no one’s life is lost, but if one does, he will inevitably be severely sanctioned by the federal government.

"You have to use a clone." Stephen Yihu was also frightened for a while. Because arcane mages of the same level have always been invincible, he somewhat despised the dragon knight, so he directly participated in the battle with his real body. "If anything happens, it doesn't matter whether I die or not. , it won’t be good if it drags down the adults.”

"Forehead…"

Duke is still a little ashamed of this level of flattery and finds it difficult to deal with it.

While being praised all the way, the airship returned to Oak Tooth Mountain. After this battle, Duke had a deeper understanding of the strength of his dragon knight.

  Outperforms arcane mages of the same level in single combat, but is slightly weaker in group attacks. And knights need weapons. If there are more powerful weapons, the combat effectiveness of the dragon knight can be further improved.

"When you find an opportunity, go and forge sub-dragon weapons. One sub-dragon spear is a must, and then forge ten sub-dragon swords... To maximize the combat effectiveness of controlling swords with Qi is to control ten swords. If there are more, it will not only consume your mind but also Easy to mess up.”

 …

"Is this the secret of the Beast Spirit Formation? It's really interesting and beautiful!" In the Duke Sage Mage Tower, the formation prophet Sean came in his avatar to experience the Beast Spirit Formation in person.

Shaun is the executive director of the Observation Tower, the chairman of the Formation Compilation Committee, and a 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Instructor.

As one of the two prophets in the field of formations, his attainments in formations are the best in the Seven Towers Federation.

"In my opinion, the blood spirit formation carved by nature is the real beauty." Duke did not boast, nor did he need to boast. "The beast spirit formation I studied has too many traces of artificial carving. Although the efficiency has improved , but in the end it almost lost its charm.”

"It's already very rare. Although I have seen more exquisite and complex formations, I have to say that the Beast Spirit Formation has reached the extreme." Prophet Sean praised, "Prophet Duke, you are equally talented in the formation. Extraordinary talent."

Even though the arcane projection room in the Duke Sage Mage Tower has been reshaped to directly echo the arcane holy city, the clone still does not last long.

 Without a few words of conversation, Sean’s prophet’s clone fell apart.

But immediately afterwards, another prophet also appeared in his avatar. He was the dean of the Spiritual Beast Research Institute and the beast-taming prophet Fariano Thunderwolf.

  He is also a 7th-level Morning Star arcane instructor.

"Prophet Duke, you have achieved a new ring level without saying anything." Fariano Thunder Wolf hugged Duke hard when they met, "I have been studying animal taming for hundreds of years. My results are not as good as yours with this beast blood pill!"

“Your Excellency Fagliano is too generous. The Beast Blood Formation should not be considered a ring-level achievement.”

"No, in my opinion, it deserves a ring!" Fariano Thunderwolf said with a half-joking smile, "I thought about it all the way, so I should call it the Ring of Phantom Beasts!"

　　After a few compliments, Fariano Thunder Wolf began to chat with Duke about the beast spirit formation.

However, he paid more attention to the impact of the Beast Spirit Pill on the spirit beasts: "It is really unimaginable that the energy and blood of the spirit beast can be condensed in the form of a formation and integrated into a pill. The uncanny craftsmanship of nature is really impressive. , Your Excellency’s wisdom is equally impressive.”

"In terms of the Beast Blood Pill, I am just a porter of nature." Duke joked, and then said seriously, "However, although the Beast Blood Pill is good, it is not without restrictions, especially after the Beast Blood Formation is activated. A large number of spirit beasts’ flesh and blood sacrifices are required.”

“Approximately how much spirit animal flesh and blood is needed for a beast blood pill?”

"I have roughly calculated that the flesh and blood of about a hundred level 1 spirit beasts can be used to condense a beast blood pill; but this is just a calculation standard. In fact, to condense the beast blood pill, there must be spirit beast flesh and blood of level 4 and above. Participate, otherwise the medicine will not be enough.”

“How many beast blood pills are needed for a level 0 knight to be promoted to a level 1 grand knight?”

"Between ten and twenty pills, if you take less, your Qi and blood will not boil, and if you take too many, you will easily explode and die. Moreover, the beast blood pill has a strong immune effect. If you fail to break through the first time, you will not be able to continue taking the beast blood in the future. Damn it," Duke said.

“Then it’s a compromise. To be promoted to a level 1 knight, fifteen beast blood pills are needed, which means 1,500 level 1 spirit beasts…”

Fariano Thunder Wolf clicked his tongue twice and sighed: "The cost is really not low. It takes 1,500 1-ring spirit beasts to train a great knight... It is necessary to train phantom beast knights and high-level phantom beast knights. I’m afraid there are more animal blood pills.”

"Actually, that's not necessarily the case." Duke smiled, "My opinion is that the great knights who are promoted with the Beast Blood Pill should not expect to be promoted to the fantasy beast knights. And the great knights who naturally break through, when the contracted spirit beasts reach the critical stage of promotion, At that time, taking about twenty animal blood pills is enough."

“Indeed, the Beast Blood Pill is more valuable when used to break through levels. Knights with average talent should not even think about relying on it to reach the top of their lives.”

 The two of them chatted for a few minutes around the Beast Blood Pill.

Seeing that the duration of Fariano Thunder Wolf's clone was almost over, Duke finally said: "I handed over the promotion work of the Beast Spirit Formation and Beast Blood Pill to the Knight Monastery. As for the improved formation and Beast Blood Pill, I left it to the Knight Monastery. Dan, I’ll leave it to your Spiritual Beast Research Institute.”

 Besides the Seven Towers, there are many “hospital-level” subordinate institutions.

For example, the Knight Monastery, the Spiritual Beast Research Institute, the Pharmacy Research Institute, the Spiritual Plant Research Institute, the Elf Research Institute, etc., are responsible for special research in a certain aspect.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will immediately gather people to study the beast spirit formation and the beast blood pill, and strive to further optimize the cost and effect of the beast blood pill." Fariano Thunder Wolf waved his hand, and the clone instantly appeared. Fragmented into dots of fluorescence.

So far.

 After Knight's Monastery obtained the beast spirit formation, it immediately promoted and established animal blood pill production bases around major cities across the country.

And launched a large-scale spirit beast hunting operation, transporting the corpses of spirit beasts to the beast blood pill production base to condense the first batch of official beast blood pills. In addition, through real-name registration, the purchase is limited to great knights to break through to the fantasy beast knights.

 In just one week, a large number of beast blood pills came off the production line, and then entered the hands of the great knights who were stuck at the juncture of promotion.

The news about dragon knights has not yet dissipated. The first batch of fantasy beast knights who were promoted through the beast blood pill quickly appeared in the important news sections of the optical TV station and newspapers.

“The era of boiling beast blood belonging to the way of knights is coming step by step!” Even the Seven Towers Daily affirmed the emergence of the beast blood pill, ushering in a new era.

certainly.

This era cannot be compared with the era of spirituality led by Duke. It is just a "small era" under the chivalry.

"Hunting spiritual beasts creates beast blood pills, and beast blood pills create knights, who in turn continue to hunt spiritual beasts... We are on a correct, sustainable development path. Human habitats will change from cities and market towns to Gradually expand outwards and become one!"

 In the entire Seven Towers Federation, countless spiritual beasts were slaughtered due to the emergence of the Beast Blood Pill.

 But there is absolutely no animal protection organization that interferes.

 People across the country are very excited about the current situation and want to personally participate in the hunt for spiritual beasts.

"In the past, we lived in a small area with dots and lines, but in the foreseeable future, we will be composed of points and lines. The living area is no longer a small area, but a vast area with fertile land thousands of miles away." Optical vision platform , some experts talked about it.

This situation and scene.

  It can be summarized as “The people of the whole country welcome the arrival of the era of blood boiling.”

Countries surrounding the Seven Towers Federation have officially requested to send missions to conduct state visits to the Seven Towers Federation, focusing on discussing the introduction of beast blood pills.

 The Stars Meeting was held every three days to discuss the licensing issue of the Beast Blood Pill technology.

Even if you don’t look down on the stars of knighthood, you have to admit that Duke’s invention of the beast blood pill is another major achievement that changed the world.

"The three seas all belong to the spiritual arcane system, with one master and two auxiliaries. In the past, we were too indulged in the spiritual sea practice and ignored the development of the blood sea and the air sea." Speaker Gianluca Zambrotta decided at the meeting of stars The keynote was, "taking this opportunity, we must pay attention to the development of the sea of ​​blood and sea of ​​qi."

Of course, there are also objections from Qunxing: "Sea of ​​Blood and Sea of ​​Qi are just branch systems, and the upper limit is too low. Even if it is developed again, it will be no more than that."

 In the Linghai system, the arcane mages are attacking the 9th Ring Sun.

 In the Blood Sea system, originally the 3-level high-level fantasy beast knight was the ceiling, but now only a 4-level dragon knight has been born.

Moreover, only by relying on countless contributions to the way of knights and obtaining a huge increase in fighting spirit can he break the ceiling in one go. In other words, although the legend of Dragon Knight has become reality, it is basically impossible to recreate it.

As for the Qihai system, it is more Buddhist. A level 1 spirit envoy is the ceiling. Only by being lucky enough to contract with an extremely rare elf can one become a level 2 spirit envoy or a great elf envoy of the third level.

  And there are no legends above level 3.

  It can be said that the ceiling of the air sea system is more unbreakable than the ceiling of the blood sea system.

Compared to the Spirit Sea system, which has unlimited prospects, the Blood Sea system and the Qi Sea system are indeed not worth mentioning. Even many stars, in order to maintain the purity of the spiritual sea, directly refined the sea of ​​blood and sea of ​​​​qi into an arcane weapon, and their contempt was evident.

"Everyone," Gianluca Zambrotta said seriously, "The way of knights is certainly a small way, but the number of knights is vast. It is an important part of the spiritual arcane system and an important part of maintaining the operation of the entire society. How can we despise it!"

He glanced at the dozens of stars in the conference room. As Andre Primrose became increasingly sleepy, he was no longer able to preside over the overall situation.

At this moment, he is the leader of the Seven Towers Federation: "I propose to integrate the beast spirit formation and beast blood pill technology into the ring of phantom beasts. Do you think you agree?"

 The stars were all in an uproar.

 The ring of phantom beasts!

What they are making an uproar about is not the Ring of Phantom Beasts itself, but the inventor of the Ring of Phantom Beasts, Duke, who has become the prophet of the Three Rings.

If the ring of phantom beasts is established, then the three-ring prophet will have to be called the fourth-ring prophet.

And if we talk about the three-ring prophet, after his death, he will be selected into the Temple of Heroes, and he may be ranked behind the sage Abbots. Then the achievements of the Four-ring Prophet might not even be suppressed by the Abbots sage who founded the Seven Towers Federation, and would have to take second place.

Immediately, some unconvinced stars asked in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, Speaker, are you planning to create a god?"

Gianluca Zambrotta responded calmly: "I am not creating a god, I am just discussing the matter. The Beast Blood Pill can almost be said to have changed the way of knights. The impact is far-reaching and immeasurable. It is okay to call it the ring of phantom beasts. "

"Perhaps naming it the Ring of Phantom Beasts is not too much, but have you ever thought about it?" Another star said solemnly, "Duke is only a few years old. Even if he wants to create a god, we have to wait until he joins the stars. Otherwise, it may backfire. What a joke."

Zambrotta did not answer.

Thersus snorted and scolded: "What's the joke? Because Duke is young, does he have to give up the honor he deserves?"

He glanced at Qunxing who was speaking, and said coldly: "Since you think the ring of phantom beasts is feasible, then nod and agree. If you feel that the ring of phantom beasts is not worthy, then tell the reason! Don't mess around here, you will lose the stars." Style!”

"Your Excellency Thelsus is too domineering. The meeting of stars is not a one-word meeting."

"I ask you to speak human language, but you insist on speaking dog language, Shadik Pioneer Eye, believe it or not, I will go to Ice Breaking City and beat you into a pig's head!"

“You!” All three eyes of Shadik Pioneer Eyes stared, “Come on, you come, you come, I will look down on you even if you don’t come, Huiyue Arcane Master is amazing!”

　　"Okay, okay, that's outrageous!" Celsus laughed angrily, "I'll go after the meeting. I always do what I say!"

 “Set a time and I’ll go watch the battle.” Lambert Raven suddenly interjected.

 “Let’s go together!” another star laughed.

There were even stars shouting on the spot: "I'm going to open a bet and bet on victory, draw and loss... The amount is one Yalong to enter!"

 For a time, the meeting of stars became a vegetable market.

Zambrotta rolled his eyes, became angry, and yelled angrily: "Shut up, everyone. If anyone makes trouble again, get out of here!"

The meeting of the stars continued, and finally, amidst the quarrels, the name of the ring of phantom beasts was adopted.

 After the meeting.

  The results of the meeting were quickly played on the large screen at the waist of the Offa Supreme Tower.

“This Star Council ended in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. The forty-eight stars participating in the meeting reached a unanimous consensus and adopted a new name for the beast spirit formation and beast spirit pill invented by Duke—the ring of phantom beasts.”
