Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6928 Times have changed
"By the way, are these guys really okay?" Hua Xiong frowned as he looked at the battle circle of Xu Yuan, Er Xiong and Li He. The three of them had been fighting with the demon for quite some time. You know, the battles between veterans rarely last more than ten minutes, and many of them even end in one burst.

Even when facing the Binshi Demon God, most of the top veterans could determine the winner within tens of seconds. Those who could not determine the winner in a short period of time basically ended up running away. Only the two bears and three others faced the Demon God and fought for a long time, and are still fighting now.

"Is their physical strength so good?" Wu Qi asked curiously. As a master in training soldiers, he had specially selected strong guys when training the Wei Wuzu. But even the best among them showed obvious gaps after training compared with the performance of the two Xiongs and the other two.

"Not bad." Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, "After all, they are strong, and they all have special visions. In addition, they have been given special injections based on their own visions. To be honest, their physical fitness is among the best among all the veterans."

If we don't count the burst data and only look at the basic data, each of the veterans selected by Xu Chu has extremely incredible numbers. Even a guy like Jiang Guang, whose numbers are extremely incredible, still has a considerable gap in basic numbers if compared with Er Xiong and others.

The average height is just over two meters, the weight is over three hundred and fifty kilograms, and the basic talents all include muscle strengthening. In this case, it is normal for the physical strength and endurance to be stronger.

"If they can hold on for another half a day, I think they can wear down the Binshi Demon God." Han Xin said slowly, "After a long period of consumption, the Binshi Demon God's recovery speed has decreased. Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, as long as the recovery speed starts to decrease, it is very likely that it will be gradually torn apart by these three ruffians, and then it will not be able to be reassembled."

As for what comes next, there is no need to say. The demons that cannot be grouped together and have become fragments are basically equivalent to being guarded by several big guys. For such guards, it doesn’t matter whether they have the will to attack or not. Just guarding is enough to wear down the opponent.

"My judgment is similar to this guy's." Wu Qi nodded after hearing Han Xin's words. "The Demon God can still fight these guys now, only because its overall structure is still intact and can still pose a threat to these guys. Once its recovery cannot keep up with the damage and it is torn into large pieces, it will only be a matter of time before these three Demon Gods are worn out."

"Although there is no will attack, it seems that physical damage can still solve the problem as long as it lasts long enough and is powerful enough. It just looks very tiring." Bai Qi said with some complaints.

Bai Qi didn't know whether to say that the two bears and the other two were determined, or that these three people were mentally abnormal. Normal people, when encountering this kind of immortal thing, would beat it up a few times, and when they found that they really couldn't kill it, they would avoid it. But these three guys really did nothing but fight.

"It's a bit difficult. The three of them are also losing strength." Sun Wu, who had also shifted his attention, looked at Er Xiong and the others and said, "Humans' strength is not infinite. If they keep repeating this, their muscles will cramp due to the continuous high-intensity output."

The Demon's regenerative ability is indeed too strong. The two bears and the other two already have extreme physical values, but they still have some difficulties facing the Demon.

"Zhongkang, aren't you worried? Three of your main team members have already encountered the opponents that Zichuan created for you. Aren't you afraid that they will be defeated?" Zhang Fei smiled and asked Xu Chu in a teasing tone.

"We won't lose." Xu Chu said in a muffled voice, with absolute confidence in his main force on his face.

"Without willpower attacks, it's not easy to kill this kind of opponent." Zhao Yun also echoed from the side, "Pure quality does have an advantage in the confrontation, and the survivability is also strong, but pure quality veterans are indeed at a disadvantage when facing this type of opponent."

"Don't worry about those three guys for now. An old soldier who I've been following who also follows the pure quality route has encountered the enemy arranged by Zichuan." Xu Chu shook his head and said, then pointed to a certain forest area to Zhao Yun and others. Hasgart, a super elite veteran of Rome, was facing a Binshi demon god that fell from the sky. "Look, that's this guy."

Different from the normal Binshi Demon Gods that others encountered, the Binshi Demon Gods that Hasgart encountered were eight-fold smelted monsters that Chen Xi arranged on a whim. Moreover, for the so-called confrontation, Chen Xi deliberately asked Sun Wu to make an implicit contract when Sun Wu released these eight-fold smelted monsters. These top-level monsters would have a higher probability of encountering strong ones.

Of course, maybe because of some problems with Sun Wu's operation, Hasgart, who was squatting in the woods waiting for Ilias or Slavonis to come to him, enjoyed the joy of dropping points from the sky, but the points were a bit large, and he might be beaten to death if he was not careful.

"This is really too much. A core enemy troop is right in front of me. What is the Han Dynasty thinking? Is it afraid that I can't do it? And they even specially gave the human figure some other maps?" Sitting on a stone in the forest, Hasgart, who had no ability to search for the enemy and could only wait for his teammates to find him, looked at the thing that fell from the sky with a central torso similar to that of a human, but with a bull's head on top, and felt like complaining.

Although he said so, Hasgart's smile was somewhat ferocious. As the chief centurion of the First Auxiliary Legion, he sensed a certain dangerous aura from the moment the Minotaur landed opposite him.

However, he took a look at the full-protection 560 armor that he had temporarily received from the Han Dynasty for participating in the martial arts performance in the small world, as well as the very handy tungsten steel battle axe that came with the armor.

He stood up slowly. Hasgart, who was already tall and strong when he was sitting, even made the morning light in the forest dim after he stood up.

"Although I don't know what it is, I can get points by killing someone, and the points can be exchanged for some customized weapons and equipment. Moreover, I heard from the big shots of the Han Dynasty that after killing someone, I can also get top-level weaponry. Isn't this great?" Hasgart moved his fingers. The steel gauntlet was very flexible, without any sense of restraint. It was completely different from the thing he wore in Rome.

This wasn't even a custom-made version. It was simply weapons that were measured and assembled together. Just from this point, Hasgart realized that in terms of steel smelting and casting technology, the Han Dynasty was completely superior to them, the Romans.

However, considering that such outrageous steelmaking technology as blast furnace was introduced from the Han Dynasty, it is not outrageous that the Han Dynasty possessed such casting technology. It's just that Hasgart really needs such a thing. After all, sometimes, hitting people with fists is much more satisfying than hitting them with weapons.

Just as the 2.2-meter-tall Hasgart walked forward, the Minotaur may have finally regained some consciousness, and then roared to the sky. In just an instant, the sound broke through the maximum decibel under standard atmospheric pressure.

The roar of the Minotaur was completely different from the attack methods of the Sound Killers and other human veterans who used sonic shock. Its attack mode was not shock at all, but pure high decibels. It's just that the sound was so loud that it broke the limit of human tolerance and the sound limit that the surface air pressure could bear.

Just a roar and a terrifying sonic boom directly pierced through the atmosphere. The oscillation of the supermodel's longitudinal waves drove the vibration of the atmospheric molecules, and at a certain moment it suddenly broke through the limit of the sound wave amplitude. The atmosphere, which was unable to continue to increase the oscillation under the existing atmospheric pressure, was forced to move sideways, and what followed was a terrifying shock wave.

Hasgart's ears instantly spurted out blood, and even with the protection of armor, his super-strong muscular body weighing over 500 kilograms was blown back by such a terrifying shock wave.

Because it was a pure sonic boom attack, the forest was directly pressed down with the Bull-Headed Demon as the center. The surrounding giant trees were broken and blown away because of this pure shock wave. If you watch from high altitude, you can even see the super strong shock wave driving the atmosphere to disperse, resulting in a vacuum in the central area and the extremely high density of the external atmosphere forming a translucent bowl-shaped circle under the sun.

At this moment, even if Chen Xi didn't pay much attention to the main force of Roma, he had to focus his attention on Hasgart. After all, this attack mode was too outrageous.

"Is the gap between the seventh and eighth levels so huge?" Chen Xi looked at the Bull-Headed Demon God, who roared and formed a shock wave that directly overturned all the giant trees within a radius of dozens of meters. If this happened on the battlefield, this wave would be enough to destroy half of the legion. The defense of armor is meaningless against this kind of thing.

"Yide, can you do it?" Guan Yu's expression became extremely solemn at this time. As a commander, he could see best how outrageous the lethality of this tactic was.

"I can't do it. I can launch a stronger attack than this, but it's difficult for me to release such a sound." Zhang Fei said seriously. He could also use sound to create air waves, but it was completely different from this shock wave.

"Ordinary soldiers are meaningless against this kind of opponent." Zhao Yun also had a solemn expression. It's not that the cloud suppression was useless, but the decibel of the sound exceeded 150 decibels. Not to mention shocking the opponent to death, it was at least enough to make the opponent dizzy, nauseous, and unbalanced. The previous roar of the Bull-Headed Demon exceeded 194 decibels, which had reached the level of converting sound into shock waves.

Different from other talents that require some skills, this is also a way to achieve great strength and it is a very pure numerical value. However, the human body cannot do it without relying on energy.

In other words, even if the internal energy leaves the body, as long as it is suppressed by the cloud energy, it will be impossible to use this simplest sound wave attack.

"It's okay outside that translucent bowl, but inside that bowl, even the top veterans will be deafened instantly." Huangfu Song's expression was extremely solemn. He knew more than others, so when he saw this type of Binshi Demon God, it was difficult for him to maintain his original expression.

At the very least, compared to the struggle between the Yellow Turbans and the Three Rivers and Five Schools, the struggle between the Binshi Demon God and humans is a big deal, and this is such a Binshi Demon God!
Huangfu Song couldn't help but look in the direction of Sun Wu and others. Even though Huangfu Song had been a little embarrassed in this matter, it must be said that his loyalty to the Han Dynasty had never changed.

At the same time, almost all the bureaucrats and family leaders who were watching outside the small world received notification from the person who saw this scene, and then turned their attention to the direction of Hasgart and the Minotaur.

After all, the major families are not fools. Chen Xi’s opening of the so-called second stage must have its own deep meaning. Moreover, there is nothing unreasonable about the talents and talent combinations used by these enemy troops who were inexplicably thrown into the small world.

In other words, these things can be used as reference, and thinking more deeply, are these things that can be used as reference real?

If so, what does Chen Xi mean by showing them these? Is it a revelation? Or a warning? These are things that need to be thought about. Even if they cannot figure them out in a short time, it is worthwhile to keep it simple and learn from it.

So when a combination of extremely incredible talents appeared in the small world, a terrifying combination that could defeat even a tough guy like Hasgart, how could the major families not be interested?
No matter how much one person cannot reverse the general trend, having one more strong person means one more trump card. If you have enough trump cards, you can at least influence the tributaries, even if you cannot reverse the general trend!

"I have never seen the eight-fold smelting." Bai Qi shook his head and looked at Sun Wu and the other man. The same was true for Han Xin. His era was at the stage when the essence of heaven and earth was the thinnest, so naturally there was no relevant information about the eight-fold smelting. Even the so-called high smelting was something Han Xin had seen in this era.

"Neither did they in my time." Wu Qi shook his head and said.

The essence of heaven and earth has been decreasing since Emperor Zhuanxu opened the connection between heaven and earth. After the Battle of Conferred Gods at the turn of Shang and Zhou dynasties, the essence of heaven and earth declined further. However, during the reign of Emperor Mu of Western Zhou, King Mu of Zhou could still ride on eight horses to visit the Queen Mother of the West. Later, with the decline of the essence of heaven and earth, many of the magic weapons, secret treasures, national instruments, forbidden instruments, etc. in the hands of the Zhou royal family could not be used, which led to the collapse of the dynasty.

However, despite this, during the time of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the earth still retained a lot of the essence of heaven and earth, and even some special areas still had some of the atmosphere of ancient times.

In other words, in Sun Wu's time, the level of the essence of heaven and earth might not be much different from now. However, considering that there are no large-scale appearances of immortals and gods in the current environment, the high-level immortals and gods in Sun Wu's time are probably all dead due to environmental changes.

It is just like the logic that mass extinction kills the top of the food chain first and ends up at the bottom. The higher you go, the more food you need and the greater the pressure you will be under.

"The divisions of my era and your era are different. In your era, the talent is the collective will manifested in the essence of heaven and earth and the clouds, and then the individual mastered it and smelted it. In my era, the first step is not necessary." Sun Wu said slowly, "There were many gods and demons that fell during the Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties. Their spirits remain in the world. We only need to absorb this spirit, and then use it as a seed to bloom different flowers."

"Is that so?" Chen Xi said in disbelief.

"Yes, but this method requires collecting a seed. Of course, it is similar to what you are doing now in that different people collecting the same charm will have different results, and the talents they form are also completely different." Sun Wu thought for a while and said, "It's just that with this development method, after the seed takes root and sprouts, there will be a main trunk, and then different branches will extend from this trunk."

"Talent tree?" Chen Xi looked at Sun Wu thoughtfully and said.

"That's a pretty accurate description." Sun Wu nodded and said, "But after the main trunk is fixed, it's hard for your generation to have talents that are very different or even completely unsystematic like your generation."

In other words, after Sun Wu used the seeds of divine charm to form his talent in that era, the subsequent development was actually to grow new branches based on the main trunk. This way of growth is destined to not be top-heavy. Even if you continue to study the talents of the branches, the main trunk is destined to be strengthened in this process, and it will definitely be stronger than the so-called branch talents.

"Is this how the talent tree comes about?" Chen Xi asked in the direction of Huangfu Song, and at this time Huangfu Song had already walked over.

"I don't know, but this statement is more reasonable if combined with reality, and it can also solve many things that could not be explained before." Huangfu Song shook his head, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the concept of talent tree that was circulated in the Han Dynasty.

“Well, I also heard of this concept back then, but at that time I thought it was more about talent measurement and development direction.” Wu Qi said with some reminiscence.

"In my era, I have hardly heard of this saying. In my era, the essence of heaven and earth had already declined extremely, and it was like the afterglow of the setting sun." Bai Qi recalled for a while and shook his head.

Han Xin said with confidence, I don’t know what this is.

"So the core talent of the Eighth Level Smelting in my era, that is, the main talent, is much stronger than the Seventh Level, because the other seven talents are essentially extensions of this talent." Sun Wu thought for a while and said, "But those guys' Eighth Level Smelting were not cultivated by themselves, but stimulated, so it is still within the controllable range."

Chen Xi looked at the place where the dust had dispersed in the small world. Hasgart was lying flat on the spot, with blood flowing from the ear holes. The Minotaur took big strides towards Hasgart.

"Is this considered within controllable range?" Chen Xi asked in a weird tone.

"There's nothing we can do. We're encountering restraint. Even if the demons can't strengthen themselves on their own, they can still rely on their own regenerative abilities and the blessing of time to continuously optimize their own status. Unlike humans whose talents adapt to themselves, the demons adapt themselves to their talents for better use." Sun Wu felt a little sorry when watching this scene. He was actually quite optimistic about Hasgart, who looked like a macho man, but who would have thought that he'd drawn a restrained lot.

"As far as I'm concerned, your current route is actually better than the one in my era. You combine various talents to piece together your own route, and finally rely on finishing moves to structure the talents you have mastered into one in the way you need. This is better than the way in my era where the main trunk was determined from the beginning." Sun Wu said with some emotion.

Chen Xi and Huangfu Song's expressions suddenly became serious. Although Sun Wu was praising them, he was actually explaining the difference in combat power between the two routes. Before the triple smelting, the smelting method currently used by the Han Dynasty, relying on making up for one's weaknesses or focusing on improvement, had advantages over the route of Sun Wu's era. However, after the triple smelting, if they could not use the finishing move, they would be killed.

The problem is that many of the fifth-level smelting warriors don't have a finishing move, and there are also some unlucky kids in the sixth-level smelting who don't have a finishing move. They are unable to integrate their talents into a single structure and form a special fighting method that is unique to them. Facing the elite of the same level who have a core talent structure like those in the Sun Wu era, they will probably really fall into a disadvantage.

"But I still have to say that your patchwork stuff is stronger than the core talents that we developed step by step in our time." Sun Wu explained solemnly when he saw the expressions of the two men.

"Is that so?" Huangfu Song could more or less understand why. After all, when a bunch of unrelated talents are strung together, it is also a process of deepening one's mastery. In Sun Wu's era, it was just the way of grafting fruits on fruit trees, but in the Han Dynasty's era, the mastery of the finishing skills starts with grafting.

"How strong was the real Eighth Level in your era?" Chen Xi said seriously.

"After hundreds of years of optimization, these guys have almost reached the eighth level of strength in that era, but I haven't seen many of them." Sun Wu looked at the Bull-Headed Demon God, who was once his personal guard.

The Minotaur walked up to Hasgart, and seeing Hasgart looking at him with his eyes wide open, he immediately prepared to launch a sonic attack again. When Hasgart saw the Minotaur open his mouth, even though his hearing was gone, his right arm holding the short-handled tungsten steel axe suddenly swelled up, and the unique power of the First Auxiliary Legion was released directly at this moment.

With just one axe, he split the Minotaur in half from bottom to top, then he held the Minotaur's split neck with his left hand, and exerted force from the toes of his whole body, grabbing the demon's neck and smashing it downwards. This was Hasgart's favorite move in the Colosseum. With a height of two meters and two, he threw himself sideways and hit his opponent headfirst. The opponent was in human form, and his brain went into his abdominal cavity, with most of his bones and muscles broken.

"Boom!" It was like a bomb exploded on the spot, and dust flew more than ten meters high.

I feel like I'm not used to it. I'm scratching my head.
