Chapter 1622 Blood of Heimdall (Ⅱ)

The so-called "qi pool" is a container specially created by martial arts practitioners to generate and store "qi" in their own bodies, similar to the "spirit pool" of supernatural beings.

In the crystal wall system outside the world of Vales, such as "Dongfang Tianyu", the "Qi Pool" is also called "Qi Sea" or "Dan Tian".

After martial arts practitioners open the "Qi Pool", they can use a special "breathing method" to control the blood circulation and respiratory system in the body, thereby extracting part of their own life energy, condensing it into essence, and compressing it into the "Qi Pool" Among them, this kind of supernatural energy condensed by vitality is the core ability of martial arts practitioners - "Qi"!

"Qi" is also called "true qi", and in terms of its essence, it has similarities with "spiritual energy".

Both include the unity of opposites and unity of the living body at the binary level of "spirit" and "body", but psionic energy mainly shows the characteristics of the spiritual side, while zhenqi mainly reflects the vitality of the physical level.

When eating breakfast in the officer’s cafeteria just now, Heimdall once mentioned to Joan that one of the characteristics of the "Psychic Sect" monk is that he cultivates both true energy and spiritual energy, and has both "qi pool" and "psychic energy" in his body. "Pool", which can not only use martial arts, but also display psychic powers. When the practice reaches a certain stage, it can even break through the barrier between the "qi pool" and "spiritual energy pool", and convert the true energy into the same amount of spiritual energy at any time. , or conversely convert psionic energy into true qi.

True qi and psionic energy also have a similar feature, that is, both are energies that are self-generated inside the human body—rather than supplied by the external magic net.

Martial skills that rely on true qi are generally classified as supernatural abilities, but no matter whether the true qi acts on the monk himself or radiates out of the body, it usually does not need the magic net as a transmission channel, so this type of martial skill is in the "anti-magic field" " or "no magic world", it can work normally, and it is more versatile than spells with similar functions.

It can be seen that "true qi" and "spiritual energy" do have a lot in common. Although the difference between the two is far greater than that of "arcane power" and "divine power", it is not reasonable to make such an analogy. questionable.

It's a pity that Heimdall was not from the "Psionic School", so he couldn't provide Joan with more guidance on the conversion between psionic energy and true energy.

The difference between true qi and psionic energy is also obvious.

The amount of psychic energy that a manifester can use every day is limited. Once the psychic energy pool is depleted, they will no longer be able to display their abilities within the day. They must rest for at least eight hours and wait until the next morning. "The psychic energy pool " will be refilled - this is exactly the same as the spell slot.

True Qi follows a completely different set of rules. After a monk exhausts the True Qi in his body, he only needs to rest for an hour. During this period, he can use his unique skills to regulate his breathing and focus on meditation to refill the exhausted Qi pool with True Qi. gas.

This feature greatly enhances the monk's continuous combat ability. The fly in the ointment is that the upper limit of the monk's "qi pool" is much smaller than the "spirit pool" of the manifester of the same level, and it is not as good as the spellcaster. Equivalent spell bits to be able to invoke.

If the bonuses of some special skills are not considered, the capacity of a monk's qi pool is directly proportional to his professional level.

Under normal circumstances, the most true qi that a 20th-level monk can store in his body is only 20 points.

In addition to "Qi Pool", Joan is interested in 21 monk skills, which can be divided into four categories: "Attack", "Defense", "Dodge" and "Special".

Master Heimdall is good at attacking martial arts. There are mainly 5 kinds of attacking martial arts, namely "fighting blow", "shock fist", "gale blow", "shocking palm" and "fighting gun".

"Battle Qi Strike" is the basic unarmed combat skill of the monk profession. Using special training methods, combined with the true energy in the body, can greatly strengthen the attack power and hardness of natural weapons such as fists and feet.

As the monk's professional level increases, the destructive power of fists and feet also increases simultaneously.

Take a legendary monk like Heimdall for example, the fists and feet made of flesh and blood are extremely hard, which are equivalent to enchanted adamantine weapons. If you punch the enemy at will, even if the strength attribute bonus is not counted, the damage will be as high as 3 energy. class.

If a monk's fist is compared to a weapon, what is the concept of an average base damage of 3 energy levels?

The king of cold weapons, the two-handed giant sword, has only 2 levels of basic damage.

For the new magic crystal rifle, the average damage caused by each bullet to the target within the range is 3 energy levels.

When Joan and Heimdall fought this morning, he was not directly hit by the opponent's fist. Looking back now, it is really a fortunate thing.

Otherwise, if you get a punch, counting the strength bonus of the legendary monk, you will suffer more damage than being bombarded by a magic crystal rifle filled with adamantine enchanted bullets. With the protection of multiple defensive spells, I'm afraid it can't resist it-at least the "Stone Skin Technique" will become useless in the face of fists that are harder than fine gold.

The next thing Joan checked was "Shocking Fist" and "Blast Combo", two of the most famous stunts in the monk profession.

The principle of "Shocking Fist" is to integrate a piece of true energy into the fist, and inject the true energy into the opponent's body when hitting the enemy. If the opponent's body is not strong enough, the violent burst of true energy in the body will disturb the motor nerves and temporarily fall into the fist. paralysis.

"Flood combo" is to stimulate a burst of true energy after the move, temporarily strengthen the reaction speed and explosive power of one's own body, and make continuous moves in an instant, causing a storm-like combo attack on the enemy.

The "Trembling Palm", which can only be mastered by high-level monks, is also known as "Penetration Strength" or "Assassination Fist". qi, but more zhenqi is injected, and the effect it exerts is even more wonderful.

"Trembling Palm" automatically ignores all armor and damage reduction capabilities, and can detonate the true energy immediately after hitting. Unless the opponent's physique is super strong, the physiological function will be destroyed by the raging true energy in the body, and he will die on the spot.

If a creature with a strong physique is lucky enough not to be killed by "Trembling Palm" on the spot, its flesh and blood and internal organs will inevitably be severely injured, which is equivalent to receiving necrotic damage of 20 energy levels. If it is not treated in time, even if it escapes death , will therefore leave enough to destroy the health of the sequelae.

There is also a special usage of "Trembling Palm", which is to caress someone seemingly inadvertently, and inject deadly qi into the target without arousing the other party's vigilance.

The zhenqi injected into the target's body will not detonate immediately, but the activation time is set in advance, and the zhenqi will detonate by itself after the time limit expires, killing the target instantly!
