MTL - Final Priesthood

Chapter 438 [Supernatural Contact], "Rhythmic Wind"

Lu Yuan still has 1 attribute point and 2 skill points on hand.

 That's what was left over from before.

 In this current situation, it suddenly becomes particularly precious.

Lu Yuan was lying on the hospital bed, thinking about how to use the few skill points and attribute points.

He now only has two career panels that can be used normally.

 One is the main panel of [Spirit Devouring. God and Demon Species (Super Mythical)], on which a skill - [lv1 Devouring] is currently lit.

 The other one is [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)].

 [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)] has been activated for a long time, but the level is not high, and there are only two skills lit up on the panel - [lv4 Chaos Divination], [lv2 Mysterious Perception].

 There are three usable skills, all of them are auxiliary, and there is not a single combat skill.

 As for what he can get after offering the sacrifice.

 It is not clear.

 When he came into contact with the gray vortex, he actually got a prompt from Ming Ming to "offer" a sacrifice.

 All he can rely on, apart from the few auxiliary skills that he can still use at hand, is only the combat awareness of being a [Martial Arts Master], and the corresponding skills and instincts.

Since there is no hope here, Lu Yuan can only turn his attention to [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)].

"what?!"

Lu Yuan thought about it and simply spent a few skill points to unlock the last basic skill of [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)].

 “Extraordinary contact.”

"Well?!"

 Invest one skill point, and a little light will light up on the panel.

 It's as if he can't control the death energy now, and he can't transform into the form of the eight-armed Shura.

 This is also the biggest reason why Lu Yuan desperately wants to find [Martial Arts Grandmaster (Extraordinary)] back.

Lu Yuan thought for a while, looked around the room, and finally picked up an apple-like fruit from the fruit plate on the bedside cabinet and threw it into the gray vortex.

 The more skill points required to improve a skill, the more powerful its power or effect is.

He cannot use those career panels that still exist. Instead, many abilities of the [Martial Arts Master] that collapsed and disappeared can still be used.

"Snapped-"

"This is.?"

However, the drawbacks of this form of power manipulation are also revealed at this moment.

 Especially the skill [Chaos Divination], which has played a decisive role in enlightenment at many critical moments.

 Basic skills require three skill points to improve. You can imagine how exciting those high-level skills will be in the future.

“The first basic skill upgrade requires at least three skill points, which is worthy of being a super-mythical career panel.”

Lu Yuan looked at this newly unlocked skill and finally chose to try it out.

Lu Yuan saw something flying out of the gray vortex, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously raised his hand to catch the thing.

The gray vortex is only about the size of a fist, and it is just right to stuff an apple into it.

“It turns out that this is what [paranormal contact] means.”

 This newly unlocked skill is called - [lv1 Extraordinary Contact].

Lu Yuan slowly moved his palm toward the gray vortex. The moment his fingertips touched the gray vortex, his body trembled slightly.

Lu Yuan stared at the only lit [Devour] skill on the [Spirit Devouring. God and Demon Species (Super Mythical)] panel, and sighed lightly, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

A strange and inexplicable light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and there was an unexpected meaning floating in his eyes.

 Lu Yuan has realized this a long time ago, and now that he is "in trouble", it has been well confirmed.

 Because too many parts of the latter have been perfectly integrated into his soul, bones and blood. Even without the panel, it is still his own thing.

 After leaving the career panel, Lu Yuan could not mobilize the corresponding power of the evil god.

 The powers of the evil **** system in Lu Yuan are all controlled by the occupation panel.

 The object of sacrifice is naturally the omniscient and omnipotent God of Chaos.

The invisible wind quietly arises, blowing the hair on Lu Yuan’s forehead and the white gauze curtain in front of the window.

 Finally, a gray vortex the size of a fist appeared in front of Lu Yuan's eyes.

“The ability that can still be used without the panel is the real power that belongs to me”

Lu Yuan was startled by the smooth, moist and slightly cool touch. When he took a closer look, he found that it was actually a leftover fruit core!

 If I’m not mistaken, it’s the one he just threw in.

The plump and attractive-colored fruit disappears immediately after being thrown into the whirlpool. Is the sacrifice complete?

Lu Yuan waited for a while, and finally, there was a reaction in the vortex.

Tap your fingers lightly and strange fluctuations appear on your fingertips.

This greatly avoids the possibility that as the strength increases, the spirit and body will gradually be eroded by the will of the evil god.

 Similarly, we can also foresee how big a "big consumer of skill points" this super-mythical panel will become in the future!

Three skill points lay in front of him, temporarily giving up Lu Yuan's idea of ​​improving [lv1 Devour].

 [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)] still plays a very important role in Lu Yuan's heart, and the two basic skills unlocked so far are quite practical.

 The journey is a bit confusing.

 This is the result of the so-called sacrifice?

 Offer fruit and get the leftover core

Then what is the purpose of offering your own sacrifice?

 Have a favorable relationship +1 with an unknown being on the other side of the vortex? ?

 The gray vortex in front of him slowly dissipated.

Lu Yuan carefully looked at the fruit core in his hand, and after confirming that it was an ordinary leftover fruit core, he threw it speechlessly into the trash can at hand.

But when I thought about it, the unknown existence on the other side of the gray vortex was probably even more speechless.

I have never seen anyone sacrifice a piece of fruit. If you can take a few bites and then throw it back, you are already giving yourself face.

 In short, both parties involved in this first "extraordinary contact" were not very satisfied.

“Forget it, let’s study it later when we have time.”

Lu Yuan is currently in the ward. His condition is not stable, and he doesn’t really want to make any noise to cause trouble.

He had a few skill points and attribute points left, but he didn't use them anymore and continued to save them.

“If you want to recover your strength as soon as possible, in addition to finding ways to obtain more attribute points and skill points, the most important thing is to rely on the [Swallow] skill derived from the Soul Eater clan’s innate ability.”

Lu Yuan stood up from the window, walked around the room, and touched various furniture and objects.

It looks a little strange, but he is actually "checking" the effects of the [Swallow] skill on different things one by one.

 A few minutes later, Lu Yuan returned to his original position and sat down, with a thoughtful look on his face.

“Everything can be devoured, but almost nothing will be useful to me after devouring it.”

Lu Yuan had just "swallowed" a fruit, a pen, a crystal plate and an unknown electronic instrument the size of a palm.

The favorable feedback received in the end was minimal, and the experience value of the [Swallow] skill on the career panel did not even increase a little. “It seems that the idea that you can become stronger by just eating a few handfuls of dirt is impossible.

 Eating souls and devouring spirits, what is swallowed must be ‘spirit’.

 That is, things with high energy and high value.”

 “Oh no.”

Lu Yuan shook his head quickly, "It's not necessarily high value."

 The standard for judging value is relative and not constant.

Lu Yuan is almost 100% certain that Duoling must have something that is of little value to ordinary people but very useful for restoring his strength.

 It just requires him to be patient and search for it.

 So far, Lu Yuan can be sure that there is only one thing that is useful to him.

 That’s people!

“Swallowing one Lu Qiyuan increased my experience point by 1 point. If I devour a hundred people like Lu Qiyuan, my [Swallow] skill can be upgraded to lv2, and my professional level may also be improved as a result.”

 The energy, life potential and various trace substances contained in a highly intelligent life form are quite useful to the Soul Devourers.

 When the three "Andusha" arrived on their home planet, their condition was not good due to changes in environmental rules.

However, the three of them can rise quickly and recover their strength quickly, mainly by constantly devouring those powerful supernova warriors.

 After "Andusa" became Lu Yuan's career upgrade material, Lu Yuan also got some fragmentary memories about "Andusa".

These memories are not much, they just gave Lu Yuan a little understanding of the past of the three "Andusha".

 The real name of "Andusha" is quite difficult to pronounce, and his status among the soul-eating clan seems to be quite noble.

He took a spaceship and came to the area of ​​​​the home planet because of a rebellion within the Soul Eater clan. The forces belonging to the "Andusha" lineage were uprooted by people from another lineage, and the rights changed.

 As one of the heirs, "Andusa" shoulders the responsibility of continuing the bloodline and revenge, and "escapes" here.

He seems to be still looking for an ancient treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Soul Eater clan, and even places most of his hopes for revenge on this treasure.

It's just that he fell into Lu Yuan's hands before he started searching. He died before he left the army.

 The key clues about this mysterious treasure still remain in Lu Yuan's body.

Of course, now is not the time to study this.

“Eating people is definitely the easiest and fastest way to level up.

 But with my current strength, the risk of cannibalism is too great, and”

Lu Yuan himself does not want to use "cannibalism" as the main upgrade method.

He is not a natural-born soul-eating tribesman, and he cannot naturally think of all living beings except himself as food like "Andusha" and others.

You can let him occasionally devour a few enemies to "maximize profits", but it is unrealistic to specifically hunt intelligent life forms.

“In that direction, only energy and matter are left, so cherish the material.”

　To quickly select what is suitable for you to restore your strength, a lot of contact is necessary.

 The advantages of Lu Qiyuan’s identity are reflected at this time.

This guy is the son of a baron after all. He has various channels and financial strength that is much stronger than the average person.

 “Let’s find a place to hang out after being discharged from the hospital”

Lu Yuan finalized the next plan and suddenly became idle.

He is now in the hospital and cannot go anywhere. Apart from using Lu Qiyuan's smart optical brain to surf the Internet, he can do almost nothing.

 Oh no.

 He can also "review" his lessons.

Lu Yuan thought about his pilot development plan, so he dug out all the relevant memories in Lu Qiyuan's memory.

 Lu Qiyuan was a first-level pilot before he was swallowed by Lu Yuan.

 Sixteen years old, first-class pilot.

 Putting it among ordinary people, he can be regarded as a genius.

  But placed in Duolingshishi, one of the best pilot academies in Metropolis 2045, this score can only be regarded as average, average.

 There are too many people who are better than Lu Qiyuan.

The phenomenon of the involution of the aristocratic class is very exaggerated. The degree of evil among the true children of the aristocratic elite is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

“Zero Spiritual Power Cultivation Method. Rhythmic Wind Spiritual Cultivation Method.”

 Lu Yuan found two spiritual power cultivation techniques in Lu Qiyuan’s memory.

 The former is taught by Duolingshishi Academy. It is relatively common and popular. Anyone who can go to school can learn it.

 The latter is a family heirloom of the Lu family and is much more precious.

 Lu Qiyuan mainly practices the latter.

 Lu Yuan’s mind moved slightly after reading this part of the memory.

 In an instant, the spiritual core in his mind underwent a wonderful transformation.

 Lu Yuan’s original spiritual core was a golden gravel smaller than a grain of rice.

At this moment, this small piece of gravel disintegrated quietly and turned into a small golden whirlwind.

 At the moment when the golden whirlwind was generated, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that his whole body had become significantly "lighter".

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 He ​​looked at himself up and down, feeling as if there were traces of invisible airflow surrounding his body, and the resistance of the air to him became smaller.

He stretched out his hand out of the window, and the wind flowing between his fingers seemed to become more friendly.

“My agility attributes have not changed, but my speed has definitely improved.

 Including body speed, nerve reaction speed, etc., and it also has an effect similar to ‘wind affinity’.”

Lu Yuan was amazed. It was hard to imagine that this was just an increase in ability brought about by a change in the form of mental power.

 The total amount of mental power has not changed at all.

And as far as he knows, the true power of spiritual power cultivation method can only be fully realized after being combined with the corresponding mecha.

 At that time, the increase effect will be a huge improvement of tens, dozens, or even hundreds of times.

“With this alone, Duoling’s pilots can crush the home star’s pilots for hundreds of blocks.

  The use of mental power by the two is not in the same dimension at all! "

Compared with the spiritual power cultivation method used by Duoling, the way he relied on drugs and biochemical modifications to strengthen his spiritual power on his original home planet was simply like the behavior of uncivilized primitive people.
