Chapter 546 Chapter 543 Eat the Muddle, Practice Dodging (Part 2)

The road must be seen farther, and efficiency can be improved when walking. This point runs through the entire training process of super-computing martial arts.

When it comes to three dodges, it means four dodges, and when it comes to six dodges, it means seven dodges. This is how Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao came along. Now that Zhuang Xuteng has come to Eight Flashes, his master's Nine Flashes path has not been successful, and that path is not suitable for him, so he must think about the Nine Flashes issue.

Generally speaking, eight flashes have improved Zhuang Xuteng's prediction ability and reaction speed when fighting enemies at close range. Then nine flashes should continue to be improved on this basis to solve mid-range and long-range problems. He doesn't expect to be able to achieve the effect of nine flashes at a long distance with eight flashes at close range. Being able to solve the problem of presence or absence is already a great improvement.

Is there any solution to this? There really is. Zhuang Xuteng has Wraith Jelly and Wraith Tentacles, both of which can be used as media to extend the perception of super-computing martial arts. As long as one's own magic power is improved, these two can continue to extend outward. Theoretically, the mana is infinite, and so is their coverage.

"So, during the eighth flash, you can focus your main energy on the Wraith Jelly and Wraith Tentacles, and find ways to integrate them more closely with super-computing martial arts. Jelly...tentacles...servants...these three skills are often used They will be used together, can they be turned into one?”

From the perspective of magic, the three have certain similarities, and many of their basic structures are the same; from the perspective of energy composition, they are also composed of resentment, necromancy mana and shadow energy. In terms of specific functions, there is a clear distinction between the three. The resentful spirit jelly can be connected to Zhuang Xuteng's nervous system through his skin, thereby expanding the range of perception; the resentful spirit tentacles can exist in multiples, and can be concentrated and stretched far; the resentful spirit servants can move away from the main body, and can also move through the resentful spirit tentacles to receive new orders.

"If I can combine them into one...let me think about it."

Zhuang Xuteng began to recall the lessons taught by the Lich Master. In the part about spell grafting, the Lich Master taught the general rules and simplified tips for combining other spells with the Wraith Spell. It was through these skills that Zhuang Xuteng taught the sick lady how to shoot a gun. Wrap her in the cloak of a thousand eyes. The master mainly talked about the grafting of other series of spells and necromancy spells, but did not talk about the grafting of necromancy and necromancy, or the grafting of vengeful spirits and vengeful spirits.

"I never said it couldn't be done..." Zhuang Xuteng was sure of this. "If it is dangerous or impossible to do so, Master Lich will definitely tell me in advance. Uh... His character is that if it is dangerous, he will say it. If he can't do it, maybe he won't say it. It doesn't matter, the worst thing is that he can't do it. , It’s just a waste of time. As long as I can figure out why it can’t be done, it’s still a gain.”

Once you’ve figured out what you want to do, the next step is to figure out “how to do it.” Zhuang Xuteng didn't know any "advanced techniques". He started from the general rules and first found out what the three had in common, then coordinated the differences, and applied the grafting method to see what results he could get from tinkering.

Think more and experiment more; go to bed when you are tired, and there is unlimited rice cereal to eat when you are hungry. Whenever he encounters a bottleneck and becomes irritable due to thinking about a problem, he will take a break and practice his martial arts. Practice martial arts with your own weight and have little reliance on the venue. As long as you sweat profusely, your mind will no longer care about boredom, and your thoughts can be focused again.

After struggling for several days, I finally got a rough idea: Necromancy spells can indeed be grafted together. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng faced a choice: who to base on. The three vengeful spirit spells have their own irreplaceable advantages: the vengeful spirit jelly has a strong covering ability and leaves no dead ends; the vengeful spirit tentacles can extend far and have the strongest ability to pass through gaps; the vengeful spirit servant can act on its own, in theory. You can go wherever you want, you just can't deliver information in a vacuum. However, the Servant of the Wraith has the best combination of super-computing martial arts, even better than the Jelly of the Wraith. This may be related to its adoption of a "human form".

Necromancy is vast and profound, and the Lich Master indeed has all the knowledge, but if he had to tell Zhuang Xuteng everything, it would take him ten years to learn without eating, drinking or sleeping. When teaching, Master Lich would only tell Zhuang Xuteng the most critical, important, and easily encountered problems, rather than covering everything. If 60 points is considered a passing grade and 100 points is considered mastery, then the Lich Master will reach about 70 to 75 points.

Most of the questions at this stage from 75 points to 100 points are related to spell interaction. To put it simply, it is a problem that may be caused by the collision between necromancy and other series of spells. Since the wizards in the "Shadow World" died and only the Lich Master was left, and the spellcasting system of the "Corporate World" used shadow followers, it was impossible for Zhuang Xuteng to encounter this part of the problem other than fighting the Lich Master. From a practical perspective, 75 points can already solve all the problems Zhuang Xuteng may encounter.

Zhuang Xuteng himself stepped out of the 75-point range.

Constructing various magic entities, such as tentacles, jelly, banshees, and servants, the concept of "configuration" implicitly includes the caster's understanding of the world. Thinking of tentacles, then the tentacles must be soft, able to bend and move at any angle, with thick roots and thin tips... These understandings of their shape are based on the caster's understanding and research of actual objects, and will be reflected during construction.

So what are the characteristics of humanoid structures? The head, torso, and limbs are all roughly in this shape. Among the limbs, the two lower limbs are responsible for displacement, the two upper limbs are responsible for work, the trunk is connected and stores mana, and the head must have the ability to sense and receive and process commands.

But from a magic point of view, a naked servant has no eyes, mouth, ears and other structures. What is the essential difference between a head and a hand? If you can hand over a teacup with your hands, you can actually do it with your head. But in terms of spell construction, there's no need to turn everything into "tentacles" or "jelly." The concept of "humanoid" actually includes the part of "receiving and processing commands". The object that the mages imitate is the spell caster himself.

Going one step further: the humanoid servant has the potential to imitate the nervous system more than other configurations.

Most spellcasters don't need to study this difference in configuration, they can just take it and use it directly. Only intermediate and above mages who have thoroughly studied spell mixing, grafting, and blending techniques need to learn these details. Zhuang Xuteng came to this stage unknowingly, and keenly discovered the mystery.

"First of all, we must use the Wraith Tentacle as the core. Only in this way can we make the sensing range as large as possible. The most important problem that Nine Flash needs to solve is the battlefield sensing distance. After the distance problem is solved, the secondary problem is the need for coverage. "

"When using the Wraith Tentacles, we must also solve the problem of penetration. We can no longer blind ourselves when we encounter protective clothing as before." Zhuang Xuteng listed his thoughts one by one. "When the tentacles of the resentful spirit are extended, they must first have the characteristics of shadows and ghosts, that is, they can pass through slits and even penetrate entities. Hmm... It seems that a lot of things need to be grafted this time - put them here first. ”

"The tentacles of the wraith can be extended very long, but the increase in distance will cause a delay in nerve signals - assuming it can complete the transmission of nerve signals. This is a bit like the human nervous system. The way to increase the reaction speed is to strengthen the conditions Reflection moves the processing power forward, from relying solely on the brain to using the nerves of the spine, and finally using the sensory nerves of the skin and the nerves that control the muscles..."

"In this analogy, after the tentacles are extended, the processing part must also be moved forward. At this time, it is best to use the Wraith Servant. I feel that the difficulty of transforming it will be relatively low. After that, we can consider using the Wraith Servant as the core to let the Wraith Servant be used. The spirit jelly is used to wrap it. This forms frontline scouts who can not only understand the situation in the distance, but also respond. At this time, the information given to me is no longer simply 'what happened', but also. There will be 'what to do' - maybe that will speed it up a little bit."

After listing all the technologies at hand, Zhuang Xuteng pieced together the optimal solution for the current situation. The plan is finalized, and then the actual implementation begins.

Three days later, he discovered that the Lich Master had hidden many skills in the super cache martial arts.

Five days later, he decided to focus on strengthening the super cache martial arts and use it as the structural core of the wraith's "nervous system" and "skin organs".

Ten days later, he completed the first grafting, giving the vengeful tentacles the properties of jelly - allowing them to sense!

Academically, or in terms of magic, this was a great improvement for Zhuang Xuteng, but from a practical perspective, it made no sense. Because the tentacles are pointed at the front and thick at the back, they can twist at any time. Its perception of the battlefield is also twisted and distorted, as if it is looking at the world through a distorting mirror. If we relied on this to understand the battlefield situation, just analyzing the information it sent back would be enough to occupy all of Zhuang Xuteng's brain cells, and he wouldn't have to do anything else.

I took a step forward, but it was of no use for the time being. Zhuang Xuteng was not in a hurry, he had planned several steps ahead.

Since Master Lich did not show up as scheduled ten days later, Zhuang Xuteng could only continue practicing. Five more days later, he completed the combination of super-cached martial arts and the spirit servant. Since the "human form" of the Wraith Servant is more complex than the "tentacle form", Zhuang Xuteng is even less able to experience the world through it. However, the servant form is indeed more suitable for super cache martial arts than other forms.

The Lich Master still didn't show up, which made Zhuang Xuteng start to worry. "What is that guy doing? If he doesn't come out, even if I leave the Wall of Sighs, I don't know how to go back! I can't... I can't go back with the pioneers, right?"

The door of the hut opened as soon as it was pushed, and the road to the hill was clear, but Zhuang Xuteng believed that the mage tower must be equipped with layers of traps, and the consequences of forcing his way in would be tragic. So, he adopted the simplest means of communication: opening the window and shouting.

"Master Lich? Are you okay? Do you need me to help you????"

Zhuang Xuteng used vibrato and artificially synthesized the echo effect. After a while, a resentful spirit servant flew in front of Zhuang Xuteng, raised his hand and smashed his head into pieces, and spat out a message from the middle of his body.

"I have some problems that need to be solved here. It will probably take more than ten days. Just stay in the house and don't leave."

Okay, as long as you get a reply, keep practicing! Zhuang Xuteng continued to eat rice cereal. During this time, he focused on the research of magic. The remaining energy was devoted to maintaining physical fitness and he no longer cared about the taste of rice cereal. In fact, eating this food continuously for a long time will make people feel nauseated and nauseated, and they need to eat something else. Zhuang Xuteng didn't feel it himself. His implant detected a problem and automatically fixed it for him, which was convenient enough.

After another five days, the combination of the resentful spirit jelly and the resentful spirit servants was completed. Now each servant can be surrounded by the resentful spirit jelly with a radius of ten meters, forming a perception ball. The sensing ball achieves uniform full coverage, so the information it sends back will not be distorted and can be used directly.

"Not even close." Zhuang Xuteng finally thought of eating a steak-flavored energy bar he brought over to celebrate for himself.

As long as your brain can work well, you should not stop studying this matter. Zhuang Xuteng continued to work hard and completed the grafting of the ghost servant and the ghost tentacles seven days later, thus realizing his idea. The tentacles stretched outward with him as the core, forming a ghost servant at a distance of 100 meters; the ghost servant played the role of a nerve node and supported the ghost jelly to form a spherical sensory body. In this way, Zhuang Xuteng established a neural sensory network extending outside the body with himself as the core.

"This new spell is called sensory tentacles!" Zhuang Xuteng practiced the casting of this spell repeatedly, so that every structural detail and casting step of it were deeply imprinted in his mind. With his current mana, he simply pursued distance, and he concentrated the ghost tentacles in one direction, and the farthest he could detect was an area with a radius of ten meters two kilometers away. The "extension speed" of the ghost tentacles is close to the speed of sound. The transmission of nerve signals and the processing speed of information are affected by the degree of practice of supercomputing martial arts and the distance from Zhuang Xuteng. The closest is "Eight Flashes", which is about sixty times faster than an ordinary person. The farthest is no less than ten times faster than an ordinary person.

This speed is estimated, and Zhuang Xuteng has no way to experiment: his range of activities is just one room. Although he can try out the farthest extension distance by folding the tentacles continuously, its effect is definitely different from that of full extension. Well, after mastering the "perceptive tentacles", Zhuang Xuteng not only has a better understanding of the vengeful spirit spells and super cache martial arts, but also knows in which direction to practice "Eight Flashes".

From spells to martial arts, Eight Flashes began to be continuously combined with the perceptual tentacles. Zhuang Xuteng had no sparring partner, so he could only fight himself in the room. He found that when he used the new generation of (super cache) vengeful spirit servants as his opponent, he could form the illusion that he was fighting with himself. This is equivalent to the extended perceptual system losing its familiarity with himself after going around in a circle, and treating himself as an imaginary enemy.

This illusion is quite interesting, as if there is really an enemy with Eight Flashes standing opposite. No, it was probably only Seven Flash that was actually felt. The speed of the ghost servant's senses could not reach Zhuang Xuteng's own level. However, it was already difficult to find an opponent with Seven Flash. Outside this hut, there were only two people known: Dao Ge and Master. It was enough for Zhuang Xuteng to have an opponent with Seven Flash as a sparring partner and constantly put pressure on him. In terms of the speed of changing moves, it was stronger than the enhanced people of the outside company.

Zhuang Xuteng started practicing with his mirror servant. He found that this was a triple test of physical strength, mental strength and magic power. The fatigue came quickly and to a considerable degree - this was a good sign. Without pressure, there was no motivation, and there was no other risk in training like this except that he ate more and needed more sleep. The mirror servant could only make threatening movements. In fact, it had no power to hit him and could never hurt Zhuang Xuteng. As a sparring partner, it was impossible to ask for more.

After a few days, the lich master finally appeared. Zhuang Xuteng discovered for the first time that liches could also have dark circles under their eyes.
