"Huh... This way, my soul rune science can be considered to be up to date."

In the training ground, Xin Lailai, who had not closed his eyes in the past four days except for an eight-hour sleep, looked at the information appearing on the edge of his vision, took a long breath, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face with a slightly tired look.

To be honest, although the soul system has high initial costs, low strength, high thresholds and many risks, once it enters the payback period, its strength is really not to be underestimated.

Take them for example, ever since their soul studies got on the right track, the methods they have unlocked in these few worlds have become more powerful than the last.

Among them, the soul-severing effect and soul-severing resistance of soul weapon science and the soul-destroying gaze provided by soul secrets are naturally needless to say. They can not only bully noobs, but also play a good role in high-end games.

Although the Soul Rune, which has the highest cost, does not have any direct damage effect, its auxiliary ability becomes stronger with each level.

Take the two runes unlocked this time for example. The "Vitality Rune" is equivalent to directly recharging him with an overlord unit attribute. The 1.5% maximum health recovery per second, combined with the high healing effect gain of "Blessing of the Tree Spirit", directly makes his already terrifying blood recovery ability even better.

And the 0.75 level of regeneration ability allowed him to reach the level where even if a piece of his brain was hit, he could slowly regenerate. Although he couldn't be compared with the real undead system, he was definitely a disgusting existence among the technical systems.

There is also the "Shelter Rune". Although the 1500-point health bonus is not much, the 1.5-level physical potential limit successfully increases his maximum health limit by more than 75 points, giving him a lot of room for his health, which is already close to the limit of his physical endurance. The 76.3-point body defense value bonus makes his body defense go from the original 78.9 points to around in one breath, which can be said to be a real step forward.

As for the 75% body protection energy recovery speed, needless to say, due to the simultaneous development of five grandmaster techniques, their current basic body protection energy has reached an astonishing 20500 points. Combined with the 50% increase of the "Oath Set", it is a full 30750 points of body protection energy.

而护体能量基础恢复速度通常都在10秒左右能够回满…也就是3075点/秒的样子，再配合上「庇护套装」跟「御为我意」那50%跟80%的护体能量恢复速度，他们之前的护体能量恢复速度其实就已经达到了惊人的7015点/秒附近，也就是4.38秒内可以恢复完全部的护体能量。

Now with the benefit of the "Shelter Rune", their body energy recovery speed has directly reached 8515 points/second, which means that all the body energy can be fully restored in about 3.61 seconds. Although it sounds like a difference of only 0.77 seconds, in a battle, this half a second may sometimes be the key to determining victory or defeat.

Of course, if the "defensive barrier" is turned on, the 1500 points/second body energy recovery speed gain will be diluted a lot. After all, the defensive barrier comes with an 800% body energy recovery speed gain, which means that all of his body energy can be restored in less than one second.

Well, that is, provided that you don't get shot twice by someone while in a dominant state.

In that case, the recovery speed of the body protection energy will be greatly prolonged. This is why when he resisted the second shot with the old guard captain in the previous battle, he did not dare to continue to use too much body protection energy to resist. After all, if he did not do so, the second shot of the old guard captain would almost certainly be able to shatter his domineering state. The opponent's domineering gun had too obvious a restraint on the body protection energy.

"I wonder if our current individual assessment in the external level gradient can reach a proper 7.0 points?"

Glancing at her panel that had been further enhanced with the "Life Rune" and "Shelter Rune", Xin Lailai's eyes could not help but flash with curiosity, but she then shook her head gently, putting these distracting thoughts behind her, and concentrated on taking out the notebook that had recorded "Soul Secret Art·Heart Flame" that she had exchanged from the Honor Store before.

There are still many things to do right now, and this is not the time to worry about their specific strength. What's more, they haven't even got their third-level career templates yet. Even if they want to compete, they should at least wait until they get the career templates.

[Tip: To learn this secret technique, you need to have Soul Mysticism and Soul Runeology both at level 20. The learning threshold for this secret technique is high, so please be careful...]

A light blue prompt message popped up from the edge of her sight. Xin Lailai took a quick glance at it and then ignored it. She focused her attention on the notebook in her hand, and her mental power poured into the inscriptions on it.

boom--! !

The next second, a large amount of knowledge poured out from the mark and bombarded his mind, turning into a strong burning pain. However, Xin Lailai was like a greedy sponge, ignoring the intense pain that seemed to ignite his entire soul, and frantically absorbed the knowledge recorded in the spiritual information. Finally...

[Tip: You have mastered the "Heart Flame Secret Art", and the current secret art has been automatically integrated into the "Soul Secret Art" list! ]

……

[Soul Secret Technique]

1. An Mystic Art: can consume 10000 soul energy...

2. Heart Flame Secret Art: It can consume 5 soul crystals (complete) or 50000 soul energy to make a "Soul Shell". The "Soul Shell" can be used to contain "Flame Seeds" with soul characteristics, refine them and ignite them into one's own "Heart Flame".

*Tip: After igniting the "Heart Flame", you can nourish the Heart Flame through the Soul Origin or soul-related treasures, allowing it to grow along with the strength of your own soul.

*Tip: The specific characteristics of the "Heart Flame" will be determined by the "Flame Type" used. It can be used to ignite the souls and minds of others, causing continuous soul and mental damage, and has a great killing and restraining effect on illusion-type abilities.

……

Very good, the first step of arranging the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ceremony is officially completed.

On the training ground, Xin Lailai felt the new knowledge in his mind, slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and then glanced at the Death Master who had been driven away by him at some point, nodded slightly, and without any hesitation, decisively opened the transmission interface, and went straight to the option to return to the exclusive room without blinking. He had been here for three days and three nights, and Ling Yuzi was forced to go back to rest because he couldn't bear it anymore. If he didn't go back to catch up on some sleep, he estimated that he would have to stay here for a whole day.

——Anyway, the person holding the deceased has been taken away by him, so it’s a good opportunity to go back and have a good sleep.

——No matter how hard you try, you still have to have a balance between relaxation and tension. Xin Lailai knows clearly which is more important: eating a full meal or eating full every meal.

……

……

Half a day later, exclusive room.

"Hoo~! Good morning, Ling Yuzi~!"

"Well, good morning, Lailai. By the way, Lailai, do you want one?"

"Uh, no, just enjoy it slowly."

A refreshed stretch and a greeting came from under the ceiling that simulated the blue sky. Inside the room, Xin Lailai, who had enjoyed a deep sleep for 12 hours, moved her hands and feet happily. She casually greeted Ling Yuzi, who was wearing an apron, then looked at the food on the other's plate with a stiff look on her face and rejected the other's invitation with some embarrassment.

Although he admitted that he would occasionally try some heavier methods to flirt with young girls, eating oneself was too much beyond the scope of human behavior.

"Has the Soul Shell been made?"

After digesting the memories passed on by Ling Yuzi in his mind, Xin Lailai sensed the strange crystal shell floating in their soul space, and a hint of heat flashed across his eyes.

"Lai Lai, I'm done here, when will you start?"

"Now, let's take advantage of the best condition to complete the Heavenly Heart Flame Seed and the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual in one go."

"Ah."

The brief exchange of words was instantly completed in the minds of the two people, and Ling Yuzi was seen floating to Xin Lailai, touching his belly. After taking the alchemical doll used to experience the taste into the storage space, his body suddenly turned into a white light, and he entered the elf assimilation state with Xin Lailai.

Then, Xin Lailai sat down cross-legged, took out the "Soul Shell" and "Heavenly Heart Flame Seed" located in the soul space, and held them in front of himself with soul energy.

"Speaking of which, it still feels a bit regrettable, eh?"

"pity?"

"Yeah, Lailai, look, at times like this, shouldn't we first find a powerful flame of the Holy Spirit or Immortal level, and when we can't do anything with it, Teacher Kagus will pop up and say that we are really lucky, that he just happens to have a way to deal with this flame, and then finally help us refine it at the cost of Teacher Kagus falling asleep?"

"… Mr. Kagus is already an old man, please spare him."

“But this feels more classic, right?”

"..."

Xin Lailai, who didn't know how to complain, listened to the pleasant voice in her head, her face twitched slightly, and finally she silently focused her attention on the "Heavenly Heart Flame Seed" in front of her. With a thought, she directly manipulated the "Soul Wheat Shell" that was closely connected with their souls to swallow it up, and then threw it into the soul space.

boom--! ! !
The next moment, an extremely terrifying burning sensation broke out, causing the two people who were maintaining the elf assimilation state to groan involuntarily. Their expressions suddenly twisted together, as if they were enduring some tremendous pain.

And in their soul space, a vast amount of light blue flames were seen madly gushing out from the "Soul Shell" that was suppressed by numerous soul spells. At the same time, an incomparably vast will quickly rose from the "Heavenly Heart Flame Seed" that was sealed in the crystal shell and rushed into their minds.

Boom-! ! !
In an instant, a vast amount of images and distracting thoughts emerged uncontrollably from the two people's minds, madly tearing at their consciousness and dissolving their understanding of themselves.

[Hint: Entered the "deep meditation" state]

However, Xin Lailai remained calm and sat cross-legged on the spot, holding the "Origin Stone·Remnant" in one hand. While maintaining a deep meditation state, he quickly mobilized the spells in the soul space to refine the remnant thoughts in the light blue flame seed, replacing it bit by bit with his own will.

One minute... five minutes... ten minutes...

Time passed little by little, and as time went by, the light blue flame that was constantly burning the souls and soul space of the two people gradually stabilized, and finally -

Om-! !

I saw a light blue flame rising from Xin Lailai's body, then it disintegrated from mid-air into light blue sparks all over the sky, gathered towards his palm, and finally stabilized into a small light blue fireball.

[Hint: Willpower has been increased to 154 points]

[Hint: "Heart Flame Secret Technique" was used successfully, "Soul Fireshell" has been ignited into "Heart Flame·Heavenly Heart"]

……

【Heart Flame·Heaven Heart】

Effect 1, Heart Flame (Passive): When released, it can cling to its own weapon or body surface, burning the soul and spirit of the units it touches, causing 200 (2.0×soul strength) points of soul damage and 210.4 (2.0×mental strength) points of mental damage per second, and making a will judgment with a judgment value of 154 (1.0×willpower). If the burned unit fails the judgment, it will continue to burn and increase the damage by 15.4% (0.1%×willpower), and after 1 second, it will reduce the judgment value by 1 point and continue to judge until the burned unit passes the judgment.

*Tip: If this ability hits an illusion or soul-type effect where there is no will, the burning judgment will be made as if the opponent has 0 will.

Effect 2, Tianxin (Passive): When in the soul space or spiritual world, you can enhance your "Deep Meditation" effect. When performing "Deep Meditation", the meditation proficiency improvement speed is +500% (5% × Soul Strength), and the recovery speed of mana, soul energy and mental power during meditation is increased by 180% (0.01% × Real Intelligence × Soul Strength × Mana Potential Level), and the efficiency of meditation on mental power training is increased by 770% (0.05% × Willpower × Soul Strength).
