Chapter 475 [Key to Devout Faith]

Emerald City, [Nature's Wrath] Martial Arts Arena,

Just like before, Li Si controlled his own strength to be similar to Daphne's in order to deal with Daphne's attack.

But his attention was not on Daphne right now.

He actually saw legendary talent in Daphne?

Li Si had never heard any news about Daphne, a moon elf girl with legendary talent in his previous life.

People with legendary talents almost have the potential to become legendary strongmen.

As long as they can grow normally, they can basically break through to the legendary level.

Li Si was not sure whether Daphne grew up in the previous life, but with examples like Philip, Li Si was not sure whether there were other legends of the elves in the previous life.

After all, during the bloody battle in the abyss in the previous life, the players were at most at the gold level, and had no way of intervening in the battlefield of legends or even gods, so naturally they didn’t know much about the relevant situation.

Li Si did not hesitate and clicked on the detailed introduction of Daphne's talents in the system panel.
-
Talent: [Key of Devout Faith]

Rank: Legendary
Effect: You have sincere faith, and you are the most pious servant of the gods. You gain 50% extra effect increase when using divine spells, and have extra persuasiveness and charm bonus when communicating with non-believers; the initial experience gain efficiency is 50%, and you gain extra experience bonus after confirming your faith.

(Current additional experience bonus: 0%)
-
Tsk!
Li Si was secretly amazed.

Sure enough, there is no legendary talent that is not strong!

Daphne's talent [Key of Devout Faith] has a very special effect, but is also quite powerful.

The special thing is that this talent is almost equivalent to being bound to the priest profession, and must believe in a certain god.

Of course, strict restrictions also represent the power of this talent.

Directly gaining a 50% increase in the effect of divine spells is definitely the most powerful bonus for priests.

The power of divine magic does not lie in its might and the damage it causes, but in its various special effects such as enhancement, treatment, protection, purification, etc.

[Key of Devout Faith] can directly amplify the beneficial effects of divine spells and has a wide range of applications.

Moreover, Li Si estimated that this effect could also amplify those evil magics.

Even the priests of the Orthodox Church can master divine arts such as [Badge of Pain], [Hand of Withering], and [Breath of Abomination], but the priests of the Orthodox Church will not force them to believe in gods by using these divine arts.

If this effect is very powerful, then the subsequent effect of [extra persuasiveness and charm bonus when communicating with non-faithful creatures] is very special.

No matter how you look at it, this is a unique skill in guiding and persuading others to believe in gods!
Daphne's son is fit to be the Pope!
However, seeing that the experience value bonus behind the talent is still 0%, it is clear that Daphne has not yet confirmed her beliefs.

This does not mean that Daphne has no faith. After all, as an elf, she definitely believes in the elven gods.

But now she should be just a shallow believer.

According to the different levels of faith of believers, faith is also divided into different levels.

The most common and lowest level are the pan-believers, who are also the largest group of believers. Pan-believers cannot be considered true believers in the true sense.

Judging from human standards, people generally want to get promoted, get rich, have good luck, or have children.
The faith that arises from this is mixed with a lot of complicated and useless emotions. It is more difficult for gods to extract the power of faith, and the amount is smaller.

Everyone may believe in many gods, but at most they are just shallow believers.

This should be the case with Daphne. Strictly speaking, all elves in the Elf Kingdom are shallow believers of the elven gods.

Above this are the true believers.

Each true believer basically only has one faith, unlike the general believers who believe in multiple gods at the same time.

Compared with shallow believers, the power of faith they generate is more refined and powerful, and more important to the gods.

As their faith becomes stronger, there are devout believers who are the backbone of the gods, fanatics who have almost lost their own personality, and completely loyal and powerful creatures.

Daphne should be just a shallow believer. Only when she is sure of her faith and becomes a true believer of a certain god can she fully exert the effect of this legendary talent.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Daphne has legendary talent but is still at the silver level.

The growth rate of elves is slow to begin with, and before she confirms her faith, Daphne has to endure a 50% reduction in experience. Her current strength is a result of her extraordinary talent and the careful training of the Elf Land.

Recalling the meaningful communication between him and the great elven sage Adela, Li Si was certain that the great elven sage must know the secret that Adela possessed legendary talent.

But why hasn't Daphne decided on her faith yet?
Daphne is the hometown of elves who serve the elven gods. Li Si doesn't think that Daphne is not sure about her faith because she has no choice.

Maybe the great elf sage Adela has other considerations?

After all, as a big shot like Teacher Stephens, Adela must know some secrets that Li Si has never known.

Is it related to me?
Li Si looked at himself and shook his head slightly to avoid Daphne's attack.

Otherwise, why would Adela suddenly let Daphne stay with him?

From Daphne's reaction, it can be seen that she had never had a similar elf before.

In other words, Li Si is special?
Is it because of the World Tree?
Li Si was not quite sure. Daphne's legendary talent meant that many things would not be up to her will. It was even possible that everything was under the attention of the great elven sage.

Daphne is likely to be a leader in the Elf Country, but it will take a long time for her to grow up unless there is some special opportunity.

Li Si calmed himself down, looked at Daphne who was working hard not far away, and decided to work harder.

It’s exciting to think about bullying a future legendary powerhouse.

Daphne, who was standing opposite Li Si, didn't realize that in just such a short period of time, she had been seen through by Li Si.

Her biggest secret is also revealed.

Even so, the man on the other side was still prepared to give her a righteous beating, which was simply insane.

"Are you ready for me to begin?"

Li Si, who had been dodging, suddenly stopped and said to Daphne with a smile.

The moon elf girl was stunned when she heard that. She was happily attacking just now, but her face changed and she quickly cast a new protective spell on herself.

She didn't want to be used as a punching bag by Li Si.
Even if she was kicked, she would still try to struggle!
"Come on!"

The loser does not lose the formation!
Daphne had a good understanding of this. As long as she didn't give up, Sister Adela would be gentler when teaching her.

"So positive?"

When Li Si heard this, he was somewhat amused.

I didn’t expect that Daphne, who is not very active, was still very serious during training!

Then I have to be more serious, after all, this is also fulfilling Adela's instructions!

Li Si's body flashed and he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Daphne was not surprised. Having witnessed the scene of children avoiding Li Si's education, she knew that Li Si had entered a stealth state and was waiting for an opportunity to strike a ruthless blow.

Although Li Si's control over his own strength is the same as Daphne's, his experience and skills have not weakened.

Divine Art [Hidden Mist Technique]!
The holy book in Daphne's hand flashed with light, and a light mist rose from around her body, filling an area of ​​about 10 meters.

Daphne's figure also disappeared in the gray mist. In the mist, Daphne held the pale white holy book in her hand and looked around nervously.

As a priest, she had no way of mastering the skill of [Flash Dust] that could see through stealth, so she could only use this magic to buy time.

Daphne did not expect to be able to stop Li Si's attack by relying solely on the Concealing Mist Technique.

Although the Concealing Mist can also block her vision, if someone approaches Daphne, the flow of the mist will allow Daphne to immediately detect the other person's location.

"Daphne, that's a good idea!"

Li Si's voice came into Daphne's ears from somewhere.

Daphne's body stiffened, and a sudden premonition of danger arose in her heart.

But this sense of crisis seemed to surge towards Daphne from all directions, and she had no way of telling the direction from which the attack was coming.

Crack!

A shrill sound came from behind her ears, and Daphne shuddered, noticing the sharp edge that flashed briefly in the swirling mist, and the divine shield that had shattered and dissipated into the air.

Daphne knew very well that Li Si was holding back and only broke through a layer of divine shield, otherwise Li Si's dagger would have stabbed directly into her neck.

Looking at the surging mist, Daphne realized what she had overlooked.

Li Si is different from others. Although the fog will block his vision, with the monk's high perception ability, he can directly lock Daphne's position.

Daphne first recast the divine shield on herself, and then when she was about to use other skills, a sudden gust of wind blew.

The mist surrounding Daphne's body soon dissipated completely under the strong wind.

When the mist dissipated, Daphne saw that Li Si was holding a dagger in his right hand and an emerald green staff in his left hand.

The magical light was flowing on the staff, and it was obvious that the strong wind just now was the effect of the spell cast by Li Si.

Daphne was silent for a while. When Li Si was instructing other elves in actual combat, he often used various methods to break through the elves' defenses.

This targeted breakthrough allows the elves to quickly realize their own weaknesses and deficiencies, and take precautions against them.

But when facing this situation personally, Daphne still felt a little embarrassed.

It was nothing like the joy he felt when he saw other elves suffer.

"coming!"

Seeing this, Li Si put away the staff in his hand and rushed towards Daphne.

This time he did not choose to go into stealth again, but instead quickly got close to Daphne's body, preparing for close combat.

This is a guided battle, not a real fight.

The most effective training method is to expose the opponent's shortcomings through fighting in different situations.

Daphne saw Li Si approaching quickly and naturally understood what Li Si wanted to do.

Although she did not have much practical experience, she had already learned the knowledge she needed to master in the Land of Elves.

It's just that her combat awareness is not yet able to apply what she has learned.

This is an ability that cannot be improved through practice, it can only be honed through constant actual combat.

In simple terms, it means being beaten continuously.

Fifth-level divine art [Stone Wall Technique]!
A yellow-brown stone wall suddenly appeared in front of Li Si. Daphne had a good sense of timing, and it was exactly the moment when Li Si approached her and was ready to attack.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to control their body at this moment and would have crashed directly into the stone wall.

However, as Li Si's three physical attributes of strength, agility and endurance have been enhanced, his control over his body has naturally reached a rather exaggerated level.

He gently supported himself on the wall with his left hand and used the force to fly into the air.

Daphne looked at Li Si who suddenly appeared above her head. She really didn't expect this.

Wouldn't most people be blocked by the stone wall and have to go around it?

She had already buried magical traps at both ends of the stone wall, but Li Si suddenly jumped into the air and went straight over the stone wall.

Daphne quickly flipped through the holy book in her hand, wanting to cast other divine spells to stop Li Si.

But she was too slow to react. Li Si had already fallen from mid-air and stabbed Daphne with a dagger flashing with a cold light.

boom!
This time, the divine shield beside Daphne only resisted for a moment before it was broken, and a cold light attacked Daphne's eyes.

Li Si had no intention of stopping. He wanted to see how Daphne could deal with the situation.

At this moment, the emerald green gem necklace hanging on Daphne's body flickered, and as if it had sensed something, the light dimmed again.

"Hey hey hey hey!"

Faced with Li Si's attack, Daphne retreated helplessly and fell to the ground.

Then he closed his eyes, grabbed the holy book with both hands, and placed it on top of his head as if crouching down to defend himself.

"I lost, I lost!"

"I'm not coming!"

The blade suddenly stopped on the holy book, and then Li Si's helpless face appeared.

"Where are we now?"

"Are you giving up just like that?"

Li Si looked at Daphne who was crouching on defense and said speechlessly.

To be honest, Daphne's performance was much better than Li Si expected.

He has his own ideas when fighting and his strength choices are also very good.

It can be seen that he must have received good training before.

But practical experience is indeed a big flaw, which may be because Daphne has been staying in the elf land and has been well protected.

If facing an enemy of similar or weaker strength, Daphne might perform well.

But in front of an experienced opponent, it is easy to find Daphne's flaws.

The most important thing is that Daphne seems to be too well protected and gives up when encountering disadvantages.

That won't work!
Isn't that just the problem?

Just get beaten more and everything will be fine!

Daphne's face began to turn pale as she looked at Li Si, who was rubbing his hands together.

Don't come over here!
