Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1551 1523. Gradually Filled Puzzle

"But I am more concerned about one thing: you so easily thought of my identity as time travel. Why are you so receptive to such outrageous things?"

Abe Haruaki asked Lan En sincerely.

"According to normal people's standards, the first reaction when hearing your name should indeed be 'impersonation' or something like that." Lan En crossed his arms and shook his head.

“But my situation is not normal.”

"No matter how well-informed a person is, he should not have known anything about me at least a month ago. But Tsukahara Bokuden travels all over the place. I asked him, and he came to Mino from Kashima Jingu almost at a right angle."

"He was persuaded by you to come here. Judging from the distance you traveled, you came here at least a month and a half ago."

"And I analyzed your route. You are not simply heading towards Meinong, but are heading precisely towards Lushan City."

"The original lord of Lushan Castle, Saito Dosan, decided to entrust the city to me the night before he wrote the letter of appointment. How did you know about it a month and a half ago?"

"A Xiu and I are just unknown figures. It's not normal that the famous Tsukahara Bokuden and a mysterious Yin Yang master come here specifically to teach us."

"I'm not bragging. I learned these skills from many places, but the process usually requires more or less hard work. I've never seen anyone like you guys offer their skills directly to me."

Lan is already an experienced traveler who has experienced many worlds.

He did use his extraordinary talent and meticulous and agile thinking to draw nourishment from the ocean of knowledge in various worlds and improve himself.

But in his past experiences, it was often not easy for him to learn the local powers or skills of the world he was in.

After all, supernatural powers are not common in any world. Even local people find it difficult to come into contact with them, let alone people from other worlds who come from the celestial sphere?
Looking back on Lan's experience, the easiest one should be when he was in the New World Survey Team learning the hunters' weapon techniques.

But that was the treatment he received after he revealed his identity and gained trust.

[Ashina Style] was the reward for his defense of the Hirata family in Ashina Province. The [Acceleration Technique] of the Yharnam Hunter was a technique he discovered from the [Old Hunter's Leg Bone] in a hidden hunter workshop, and then he summarized and refined it after using it for a long time.

This is the first time that skills and knowledge have been stuffed into his mouth like this.

"More importantly," Lan En said at the end, glancing at the Yin Yang Master opposite him expressionlessly, "I have seen the manifestation of the power of time and space more than once. So psychologically, I am more able to accept the occurrence of such a thing."

"That's quite new." Abe Haruaki still squinted his eyes and smiled like a fox. "You never told us much about your past before."

"But come to think of it, to be able to accomplish such unprecedented and unparalleled great achievements, your past must have been full of ups and downs."

"My achievements?" Lan En showed an interested expression, but then immediately calmed down, "Oh, you can't tell me, right?"

Abe Haruaki nodded approvingly: "It's so easy to talk to you now. It makes me feel emotional."

"Haha." Lan En laughed twice perfunctorily without any emotion, but after laughing, his expression immediately became serious.

"You said before that I have been thinking about the use of spirit stones, right?"

"Do you know what I'm going to do?"

In response to Lan En's calm but serious question, Abe Haruaki did not answer immediately, but took out a pair of glasses from his wide and complex cuffs.

It looks very delicate, and is engraved with small and dense talisman patterns. It can be seen that it is an antique handicraft that is purely handmade.

He wore pince-nez glasses on his eye sockets.

In just a moment, Lan En sensitively realized that the other party seemed to be observing deep into his body through these glasses.

He did not retaliate because the other party's observation was too targeted. If he had not communicated with the other party in person, then even if they were studying his own corpse, it should not be so targeted.

"As expected." Abe Haruaki only looked at it with his glasses for about half a minute, then took them off and said with emotion, "Although you are very strong now, you are still a human being."

"What are you talking about? I have always been human!"

Lan En retorted subconsciously.

Then, a strange expression appeared on Abe Haruaki's face, a mixture of familiarity and expectedness.

It's like saying: Yes! That's the taste! I know it so well!
And just as his expression suggested, Abe Haruaki dealt with Lan En's rebuttal very skillfully.

"Yeah, yeah, of course you're human." He nodded perfunctorily, "Your muscle structure is still human at the moment, but you only produce a little more force. You won't be on the same level as you will be in the future."

"Although there is a layer of metal wires on the muscles, at least these metal wires still look like metal, and they have not turned into glass crystals like in the future."

"Although I have two hearts, but..."

“And these eyes.”

Lan En's brows were twitching as he listened halfway, and he reached out and pressed down Abe Haruaki's palm, which was counting with his fingers.

Abe Haruaki pulled his hand out again and held his hand with his backhand. "I understand. You are still human, right?"

Lan En nodded with satisfaction: "That's right! Those are just appearances."

"Yes, it's the appearance." Abe Haruaki nodded in agreement, "Then you still want to achieve these appearances in the end, right?"

The witcher shrugged.

"Then you need to use the spirit stone." Abe Haruaki said easily and confidently, "Spirit stone and Yin-Yang magic, this is not my inference, but the fact that you will definitely achieve it in the future."

What is the most feared thing in scientific research?

The difficulty of the search for truth lies in the fact that it has no constraints or restrictions. It is a boundless wilderness where one can roam freely.

You don't even know if your direction is right, let alone if the road you are walking on is right.

Maybe you will waste half your life without any results, but when you give up, you can't help but think, what if you are just one step away?
Is there hope if we just take one more step forward?
So I continued walking on this road with no end in sight.

Behind every successful path, there are countless failed paths as costs and lessons.

Genius? Genius is nothing more than a higher sensitivity, which is equivalent to a stronger sense of direction in this wilderness of truth.

Lan and Mentos supplemented their knowledge of demon hunters from the library in Kaer Morhen, and found the experimental ideas and spell mutation theory of three generations of Arzu's master and apprentice.

I have been researching and analyzing the super-large spell [Alzu Double Cross].

The ultimate goal is to further strengthen the original [Astartes Transformation Surgery]'s enhanced organs.

The computing power of Mentos was upgraded in the process, and Lan also gained new knowledge and power in his adventures in one world after another.

The various powerful creatures in the New World, their natural and powerful traits that have been tested in the biosphere but stably inherited, can serve as models for Lan to study and imitate.

The [Alzu Double Cross] spell and the [Alzu Multiple Triangle] theory make it possible to integrate biological traits.

Later, Lan En obtained the [Fire of Spell] in the dying fire world. He went deep into the essence and realized that this fire actually has the ability to control life.

The puzzle pieces that have been put together after many twists and turns are gradually filling in and fleshing out the outline of the plan he originally proposed.

But he and Mentos always had a doubt: from a logical and theoretical point of view, this thing should be able to be done, but whether it can be done or not is still not 100% certain.

There are many things that are logically and theoretically valid but cannot be done in reality.

But now, Abe Haruaki, who came to the present from Lan's future and his own past, told him directly: what you are going to do has a definite result, and it will succeed.

This sentence alone is of incomparable value to Lan En.

What's more, he also brought the same crucial news: use [Spirit Stone].

The plan that Lane and Mentos are jointly promoting has actually been quite successful so far.

Especially after the last time Comicus' soul brought the "Book of Izalith Spells" to his apprentice.

The spell that gave birth to this spellfire, [Chaos Flame], has completely penetrated into the core of the spellcasting system.

In other words: it is the weakening and discipline of the [Chaos Fire] that originally caused the disorderly mutation and growth of living things that has resulted in the current Fire of Spell.

Lann believed that as long as he could master the spells in the Spellbook of Izalith, then this ability to catalyze mutations in life could be combined with the large-scale spell, the Double Cross of Alzur.

Achieve the effect you want.

Mentos' calculation results also gave a high evaluation of the feasibility of this estimate.

However, allowing the cursed fire to unleash the power of its original [Chaos Fire] would cause new problems.

That is, disordered and uncontrolled mutation and catalysis may very likely turn a living organism into a pile of chaotically growing growths.

The power of [Chaos Fire] is self-evident.

Even in the hands of a mortal sorcerer like Comicus, the magma he threw would cause the limbs of enemies that came into contact with it to mutate starting from the burn wounds.

After the battle to defend High Hill Castle, the Ash Knights had to spend a lot of effort to render harmless the bodies of the enemies killed by Komicus's spell.

Killing people is one thing, but distorting them into alien creatures and then killing them is another.

The severity and psychological impact are different.
