Godslayer: A random filename extension?

Thump~x6

"Wow, six pulse points!"

As a sound like an accelerating bell rang out, six ring-shaped light effects appeared around Lin Linhou.

At the same time, a torrent of knowledge flooded into his mind, making him feel a little dizzy for a moment.

Lin Linhou understood that this was almost all the basic knowledge and application methods of pulse techniques; the rest was up to him to combine and develop on his own.

But enough.

As for the number of meridians that can be opened, currently two can be opened per level, with a maximum of 12, I think.

Then Lin Linhou took out the Sky-Piercing Spear, a weapon that seemed to be made of stone, but also had a metallic or wooden texture.

It seems we finally have a conventional weapon that can be used continuously.

After all, using Blood Prison results in continuous health loss, which isn't sustainable. The limitations of using the Xuanyuan Sword are also quite troublesome.

While the long spear in his hand didn't have many extraordinary effects, it did provide the purest boost to combat power, doubling it.

Moreover, as a long-handled and heavy weapon, it naturally has an absolute advantage over swords when it comes to pure brute force in actual combat.

"Unfortunately, I am not very good at using long-handled weapons such as clubs, spears, halberds, and lances."

I had previously learned some basic moves from Hongying, but I hadn't gone into depth.

Furthermore, the opponent doesn't seem to be proficient in using the spear, so the skill copying has never been successfully achieved.

Come to think of it, Hongying is not very old, and she has only been awakened to the Void Restriction stage for a few years, so her understanding of the way of the spear is naturally very shallow.

"Speaking of the Void-Binding Technique... this thing can be considered a polearm, right? Hey, it really is."

Lin Linhou channeled his power, and the next second, red patterns swirled around the gray-brown spear, which then burst into flames.

"Well, if it's just about attaching optical stealth... never mind, there's no need for that."

Lin Linhou originally wanted to make his weapon invisible, just like the curry stick that the Saber King had when he first appeared.

In this way, during combat, the opponent will make frequent mistakes because they cannot see the weapon in your hand, giving you an opportunity to take advantage.

But it seems that in a high-level battle, the weapon's invisibility is probably useless.

However, making weapons invisible is redundant when dealing with novices.

Unless absolutely necessary, this behavior is somewhat thankless and unpopular.

"Go back and replicate some of the abilities of the Gun Masters."

Lin Linhou put it away and then looked at the last summoning skill.

Hmm... this thing.

It's highly unlikely that we can experiment here, since we might accidentally dismantle the training camp.

After all, although the skill description doesn't specify which beast to summon, your name already contains the three-character mantra for help, so it can't be Xiu Xiu that you summon, right?

Moreover, Lin Linhou noticed a special note at the end of the skill description.

[Activating this skill may result in loss of control if the user's strength is at or below the Six Meridians stage, or if their mental strength is weak.]

Lin Linhou: (っ﹏-) .?o Oh my god, thank goodness I saw it. Does this skill have to be so faithful to the original?

……

Two and a half months passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Linhou finally copied the superpowers of everyone and the instructors in the recruit training base.

Oh, aside from Baili Pangpang, Lin Linhou couldn't even replicate his "money power".

In addition, there are some duplicates that were not copied.

Besides copying skills and participating in daily training and learning, Lin Linhou has recently received the most "care" from head instructor Yuan Gang, who is giving him extra lessons.

It's a real-world combat simulation.

These battles also made Lin Linhou realize what it means to be "old ginger is spicier".

I thought I was invincible! Fighting opponents of higher levels was no problem for me.

The result was still a brutal defeat.

For example, right now, in a small grove of trees, Lin Linhou was once again exhausted and was kicked to the ground by Yuan Gang.

"You have too many abilities, too many different skills, which causes you to think more than you act in battle. You're always thinking about how to exploit advantages or how to achieve twice the result with half the effort."...

"But in real combat, there's no time to think about so many things, which is why martial arts always emphasizes training defensive and counter-attacking instincts."...

"But you have too many choices, making it impossible to integrate all your abilities. So what seems like the right choice can become a weakness if the right opportunity is missed."

"The difficulty in martial arts lies in progressing from simple to complex, and even more so in returning to simplicity from complex. Your talent for the former is unmatched, but this also makes the latter's progress incredibly challenging."...

"You need to rationally allocate and prioritize your abilities, and learn to abandon thinking when appropriate, or rather, once your mental strength is absolutely strong, turn choosing and acting into instinct."...

Although Yuan Gang has been winning every battle these past few days, he has also offered various suggestions regarding Lin Linhou's combat.

However, he looked very satisfied, for he could already foresee that Xia Kingdom would surely rise again as a pillar supporting the sky in the near future.

"I understand, but Instructor Yuan, are you really just from the Sea Realm?"

Even with the suppression of a higher realm, Lin Linhou felt that with so many "cheat codes" on him, how could he not fight beyond his level?

Although Instructor Yuan Gang is said to be at the peak of the Sea Realm, an absolute powerhouse within this realm, he is also the kind of ruthless character who can fight beyond his level.

But surely I can't lose so easily every time, can I?

"Of course it's the Sea Realm, but that's exactly what I'm about to tell you..."

"Have you forgotten one of the traditional virtues of our Xia Kingdom since ancient times? Such as weapons development and the like."

Lin Linhou: ……(′owo｀)

Okay, I get it. One generation to exhibit, one generation to hide, one generation to develop, and one generation to envision, right?

So, Instructor Yuan Gang, you may appear to be at the peak of the Sea Realm, but in reality you are already at the limitless level, and are even preparing to step into the peak of the limitless level. Your true combat strength may be able to contend with some of the weaker Klein-level powerhouses, right?

What a brilliant strategy: build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king!

ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

"Let's end today's combat training here. By the way, how much essence and energy do you still need to advance to the Sea Realm?"

"Does your knife have any requirements or restrictions for those it devours?"

Yuan Gang had witnessed Lin Linhou's progress these past few days, and in his eyes, this rate of progress, comparable to that of a "heretical cultivator," was simply terrifying.

So much so that he would personally check every few days to make sure that Lin Linhou's body was in good condition.

Are there any requirements or restrictions?

"There are some exceptions. For example, it won't eat blood essence that is too low in quality, and I can't devour too much of the high quality at once, otherwise my soul won't be able to handle it. Each time I devour it, I need a certain amount of time to digest and integrate it."

For example, Lin Linhou has discovered that Blood Prison has begun to reject the blood energy emanating from ordinary soldiers and officers in the camp.

Even if you devour something, the experience gained might be less than 0.5.

Meanwhile, the experience gained from devouring feedback among the new recruits in the Zhanjing realm has begun to decline, with only about 60% of the original effect remaining.

The number of instructors in Chijing has also decreased slightly, but not by much yet, probably around 80% of what it used to be.

However, a very small number of instructors from the river region are still able to provide the same amount of experience as before.

As for Yuan Gang, the Blood Prison has not yet consumed his experience, because as the head instructor, he must always maintain peak condition to ensure the safety of the training base.

Lin Linhou's current level is still far from that of the Sea Realm.

In just three weeks, he amassed over 8,000 experience points thanks to the collective effort of many.

Now, another two and a half months have passed, a full 11 weeks, yet I have only gained 17,000 experience points.

And this rate seems to be slowly declining.

According to estimates, it will take about eight months, until the end of the year-long recruit training.

His experience level can only increase by a maximum of 50,000 to 60,000.

At that time, there will still be about 3 points needed to advance to the Sea Realm.

Lin Linhou: ╮(╯_╰)╭ Sigh~... The road to becoming stronger is fraught with difficulties.

Yuan Gang: ?_?...You little brat, do you want to hear what you're saying?

In just one year, you're almost at the Sea Realm level, and you're saying the path to becoming stronger is... full of hardships and difficulties?!

(╯' - ')╯︵ ┻━┻

"So, has your daily digestive capacity reached its limit yet?"

Yuan Gang said that if not, he might be able to use his connections to get more sources of experience for Lin Linhou.

"The upper limit of digestion? Of course not, or rather, far from it. According to my estimate, my current daily digestion limit is around 1000, and it is still slowly increasing along with my strength."

Lin Linhou said that if he were to absorb upgrades at full power, he might be able to advance to the Sea Realm in two months.

It's a pity that there are still too few new recruits in the basic training camp.

"I see, um, I understand."

"Stop sighing and complaining. Train hard, and maybe after basic training is over, I can take you to a nice place, hehehe~"

Lin Linhou: ? (?????) What a nice place?

"Um, if I may ask, Instructor Yuan, is the 'good place' you mentioned actually legitimate?"

Your sudden "sly laugh" sounds so out of place.

I'm still a sunny and cheerful young man, I shouldn't go to places of entertainment or frivolous activities.

Yuan Gang:……(*￣0￣)ノ

"What are you thinking, kid? The good place I'm talking about isn't that kind of good place, it's a good place that can help you cultivate."

"But if you're asking whether it's serious or not, well, it seems, it really isn't very serious."

After all, who in their right mind would go to prison, unless they're prison staff?

What's more, it's a mixed prison for psychopaths with superpowers and criminals with superpowers.

That place can never be called a "proper place".

Yuan Gang planned to take Lin Linhou to the fasting center for a stroll after the recruit training was over.

If that doesn't work, I'll stay there for a year or two.

Aren't those super-powered criminals all full of energy every day?

Since they're locked up anyway, might as well make use of them.

You should know that the criminals inside are countless, including even Klein.

If you put that in front of this kid, wouldn't it be like having countless top-quality "experience packs" that will keep him full every day?

Moreover, the place is guarded by a master, so its safety is guaranteed.

In this way, Lin Linhou can gain countless experiences every day, grow safely and quickly, and on top of the effect of suppressing the stone tablet, he can also put a layer of weakness on those criminals, greatly improving the management and security of the fasting place.

It's a win-win situation, so why not do it?

Lin Linhou: ⊙_⊙

Σ( ° △ °|||)︴！ What a great thing!

"Instructor Yuan, where is the fasting place? No need for you to take me, just give me the coordinates, I want to go there myself now, is that alright?"

(? ˙o˙)?

Upon hearing this, Lin Linhou was somewhat impatient.

Since there's a large experience fountain available, and it's the kind that allows for safe leveling up, why are you still wandering around in the newbie village?

"Dream on. Do you think you can just go to a fasting place like that? Even I have to go through a lot of procedures to get there."

"And as I said before, realm isn't the only important thing. You should honestly accept the special training first, otherwise, too rapid growth in strength won't be a good thing for you."

Yuan Gang rejected Lin Linhou's request to exploit the dungeon for experience, telling him to just obediently "take a beating" first.
