This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 101: Mastering the Supernatural Power [Swordsman] Concept of Mastering the School
After seeing Rosser and the others off, Li Ming returned to the studio and opened the slender suitcase that had been placed on the workbench. The Prism Ion Sword lay quietly inside.

With one hand clenched, 80,000 points of metal energy flowed away, and the prism ion sword disappeared in Li Ming's hand and was placed in the main control bar.

A lot of information about swordsmanship flooded into Li Ming's mind, from the basic upward thrust and downward chop, to routine swordsmanship skills, and then to various swordsmanship techniques that flowed through his mind and were at his fingertips.

In this interstellar age, close combat techniques are still quite important. When combined with various high-tech cold weapons, they can shine extremely brightly.

After adapting for a moment, Li Ming focused on the prompt that popped up in the control bar--
[Swordsmanship is upgraded to master level, and the ability [Sword Control] is obtained. Do you want to consume the controlled object to solidify it permanently? ]

[Sword Control: You can attach your own abilities to the sword you hold. ]

Attachment ability? Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and his mind moved slightly. The Prism Ion Sword appeared again, and then thunder and flames surged and attached to the sword body.

Because of the material of the item, it requires extremely profound control to achieve this.

Not bad, Li Ming nodded, but he certainly couldn't waste this prismatic ion sword for this.

"You can find a sword-fighting teaching object to get a sword-fighting profession. Just looking at this [Sword Control] ability, it should be pretty good."

Li Ming pondered it, and then took it to heart.

Then came the test of the [Convergence Slash] ability. He was already very familiar with the speed benefit, but what was the so-called cutting ability?
After charging for three seconds, his ability was activated and he suddenly felt something strange in his body, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Moreover, the speed at which physical strength is consumed far exceeds that of other abilities.

As his figure swayed, he reached the corner of the wall. There was a thick iron plate on the ground. He tried to pick it up, and then carefully felt the strangeness of his body, and his other palm gradually approached the iron plate.

Then something amazing happened. His hand just touched the iron plate without exerting any force.

But the thick metal plate split into two halves in the middle, the cut surface was extremely smooth, and the two sides were silvery white.

This piece of iron plate is ten centimeters thick. With his normal strength, he can tear it into pieces, but it will take some effort. Under normal circumstances, it will never be as easy as it is now.

"So this is what is called separation." Li Ming thought for a while, and became playful. He tried it on various objects, and then gradually understood.

This ability is very similar to superpowers. If he has the power of separation, it should also be expressed in this form, but it should be more flexible.

The separation brought by the ability can only destroy things he touches, at least that's the case for now.

According to the consistent characteristics of controlled objects, all blessings are based on one's own strength.

He guessed that if he became stronger, there would be other changes.

"This means that I can use this method to control some things similar to superpowers." Li Ming thought a lot and soon noticed something strange in his body. He felt weak and hungry and his calves became weak.

He quickly removed the ability. This kind of supernatural power-like blessing consumed a terrifying amount of physical strength. It was like a water pump, quickly draining the small puddle in his body.

"Tsk..." Li Ming took a breath. In the future, he would be able to control more and more objects, and his abilities would become stronger and stronger. Whether his physical strength could hold up would also be a big problem.

"The physical improvement that comes with developing gene seeds is far from enough." Li Ming pondered: "We need to find more control objects that increase physical strength."

He was also going to ask Luo Chuan if there were any other ways to increase physical strength. Physical strength control objects had to occupy slots, so there couldn't be too many of them.

"And this Prism Ion Sword..." Li Ming pondered. After experiencing the power of cutting, his view of it changed. It was also good as a main combat control object.

Its ability is that the speed blessing and the power blessing of [Justice Gloves] do not conflict, but complement each other.

"Prismatic Ion Sword, Justice Gauntlets, Thunder Exoskeleton, these are the main combat control objects that Tank Guard 211 can materialize and can also control internally..."

"I need another piece of equipment to sustain my life, otherwise, if all the abilities of so many controlled objects are activated at the same time, I will be drained quickly." Li Ming thought.

His combat power system is gradually taking shape. In general, it can be divided into internal control and external control. The two can be superimposed. According to his estimation, if it is completed, his actual combat ability will definitely increase exponentially.

And he divided the inner palm into several routes, one of which focused on burst and superimposed with strength.

A main speed, based on speed.

The last type is quite comprehensive, focusing on continuous combat.

Of course, this subdivision route requires a large amount of control objects and metal energy to take shape.

"Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Let's take it slow." Li Ming organized himself a little, full of energy.

"I almost forgot, there is also the ability [Bullet Sacrifice]. My ability to control objects can also be applied to bullets, and cutting them can naturally be done as well." Li Ming's eyes lit up.

The destructive power of bullets with the ability to cut is likely to be greatly increased!
There were still 70,000 metal energies left. Li Ming picked out a pair of D-grade shoes, threw 60,000 metal energies into it, and upgraded it to C-grade.

The blessing speed was greatly improved. He only upgraded this one and did not upgrade the others.

The passive effect is increased from 100% to 200%, and the main focus is on ability, while the burst of ability is increased from 200% to 400.

The situation in Jingnan Star is becoming more and more treacherous, and improving life-saving abilities will always go a long way.

He estimated that if he could upgrade all these shoes to C-level, his speed would be enough to compete with C-level life forms.

But the metal energy is far from enough, so we always have to keep some for emergencies.

In the evening, Zhang Huaiyuan urgently delivered ten pairs of shoes to meet his needs.

This is the most expensive power shoe you can buy on the Jingnan Star market, and it is only E-level.
Li Ming synthesized it to level D, and five pairs of shoes filled the control bar, and the burst speed blessing has reached ten times.

If these things are connected to each other with buckles, they are considered as one controlled object. If they are separated, they are calculated separately and the enhanced data is reduced by half.

……

In the office.

"The word 'physical strength' is too broad..." Luo Chuan pondered, tapping on the desk:

"However, I understand your request. There is indeed a way to improve the shortcomings of life forms."

Li Ming sat at his desk and couldn't help but sit up straight.

"You should be talking about the Hammering Method." Luo Chuan explained: "The Hammering Method is similar to the Training Method, but the Training Method is aimed at gene seeds to stimulate the development of gene seeds."

"And the law of tempering is to use the gene seeds to enhance one's own qualities in a certain aspect."

"Where can I find this kind of tempering method?" Li Ming asked.

"The tempering method..." Luo Chuan smiled, "The tempering method is for the general gene seeds, such as your Lei Zhuo. As long as there are lightning and fire gene seeds in the body, it can be used."

"But the hammering method is different. It is already a high-level secret method in the interstellar space. Ordinary civilizations have never even heard of it." Luo Chuan shook his head.
"Besides, the training method and the tempering method conflict with each other to some extent and cannot be carried out at the same time. At the stage of low-level life forms, it is best to focus on developing gene seeds."

Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something.

"Of course, there is another way to have both." Luo Chuan added: "Evolution theory can develop gene seeds at the same time, and then further strengthen the life itself."

"Theory of evolution? Are they paired with the gene sequence?" Li Ming wondered. "Smart," Luo Chuan said with a smile, "The fixed gene seed fusion sequence, the more secret liberation secret record, and the theory of evolution that is almost impossible to leak, constitute the gene sequence."

"It's the gene sequence again..." Li Ming couldn't help but feel helpless.

“Haha…” Luo Chuan looked at Li Ming’s helpless expression and laughed: “Interstellar is like this. The further you go on the road of evolution, the more you will feel the vastness of the universe.”

"Take your time, Junior Brother."

After leaving Luochuan, Li Ming calmed down. The genetic sequence was still too far away for him, so he decided to concentrate on developing genetic seeds.

Time passed slowly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Huaiyuan came again, but this time Li Ruoning was not frightened. He only brought a few small boxes.

Didn't even go to the finance office.

"Junior brother, what are you doing in such a mysterious place? Many people in the laboratory are curious. You have invested tens of millions of Flame Blue Alloy into it. You are not building a spaceship in the room, are you?" Li Ruoning asked secretly.

"A war is about to break out between Blue Star and Sera Civilization, so I built a spaceship for escape." Li Ming chatted casually, and Li Ruoning gave him a blank look.

He returned to the studio and locked the door. He could only enter the studio but not leave. This probably made many people curious, but it was not unreasonable.

Those people are just curious and will not take any further action.

He rubbed his hands and opened the iron box in front of him. Inside were several slender short swords, several packaging boxes with patterns of tall men holding long swords, and some small miscellaneous items.

He first picked up the slender short sword, which Zhang Huaiyuan had collected from several fencing gyms. Li Ming tried them one by one, but there were some that he couldn't even control.

Li Ming was not surprised. Control also has a minimum requirement. He was not discouraged and finally found what he needed.
[Swordsmanship] blessing, temporarily improves the skill level and ability, only a little over a hundred points are needed to master it.

More than ten thousand points of metal energy were poured in, unlocking the swordsman profession.

Two abilities: [Sword Control], [Sword Body]

[Sword Body: Increases physical strength by 100%. ]

"Huh?" Li Ming was surprised. He felt full all over, as if he had eaten too much. He was full of energy and wanted to exercise for a few hours right away.

There was an unexpected surprise. Professional abilities also had passive enhancements, which did not occupy the control bar.

He was very satisfied. He had found a way to increase his physical strength, which was his mana, and he had acquired quite advanced swordsmanship skills.

After sweeping the remaining garbage aside, Li Ming walked to the workbench, where a dagger-like design was drawn on the drawing.

The design drawings were more complicated than he had imagined, at least the information in his mind was not enough. After three or five days, a small electric dagger had not been completed.

Mechanical engineers are only at the same level as Ding Hui. Professor Xia is right, mechanical technology is a group activity and the power of one person is too weak.

Li Ming thought about it, but did not give up. After all, it was his first blueprint, so he simply practiced and explored at the same time.

Ten more days passed like this.

"9%. I thought it could reach 10%." Li Ming looked at the display on the screen and shook his head.

After washing his body, he picked up the smart terminal next to him and opened the Star Network. A message popped up, which was sent to him by Xu Wei.

This time it wasn't about inviting him out for dinner, but a news link.

[Breaking news! The Heluo Galaxy Management Committee announced a referendum to separate from the Blue Star Civilization! ]

"Heluo Galaxy?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this galaxy sounded somewhat familiar.

Then I remembered, isn’t this the place that Old Wu went to?
"Come to think of it, hasn't he solved the virus crisis? Why hasn't he come back yet? It's been more than half a month." Li Ming muttered as he clicked on the news.

His eyes scanned his face and his brows gradually furrowed. "Can this be related to Old Wu?"

The Heluo Galaxy is a relatively important commercial star under the jurisdiction of the Blue Star. It has two life planets, two mineral planets, and a total of more than 10 billion citizens.

If the support rate in this referendum exceeds 70%, the Heluo Galaxy Management Committee will break away from the Blue Star Civilization and become independent.

This may sound a bit ridiculous, but in fact the Heluo Galaxy is similar to a colonial galaxy.

They have their own civilization, but they discovered Blue Star civilization in the early stages of its development, before they came into contact with the Interstellar Alliance, and only joined after they had fought them.

It is for this reason that they have considerable autonomy in governance.

The reason for this referendum was the virus crisis that broke out some time ago.

Although Wu Yanqing, who was sent by the Blue Star Civilization, solved the virus crisis of the Heluo Civilization, he also caused considerable protests.

"Old Wu is quite ruthless. He directly conducts human experiments." Li Ming scrolled through the news.

Human experiments are strictly prohibited in interstellar space, but they are also the most efficient.

After Old Wu arrived, without saying a word, he directly found several thousand virus patients, locked them up, and started researching them.

The result is of course good, a vaccine was developed, but the problem is that such shameful human experiments were exposed.

Then, the native citizens of the Heluo galaxy began to settle accounts afterwards, believing that Blue Star had trampled on their sovereignty and used this as an opportunity to hold a referendum.

"Why does it feel like a trap from the beginning?" Li Ming muttered. The top executives of Blue Star must know Old Wu's methods and will definitely not follow the routine.

As for such shameful things as human experiments, Old Wu must have carried them out secretly, so there must be a traitor.

This incident caused a sensation within Blue Star, and Lao Wu's reputation was polarized. Many people believed that in an emergency, one must act decisively, and time is life in the face of a virus crisis.

But some people also accused those guys of talking without any concern.

There were constant quarrels.

The first thing the Blue Star executives did was to appease him, and then reprimand Wu Yanqing, but their words were ambiguous and did not seem like they were going to deal with the situation.

Li Ming went to find Luochuan as soon as possible.

"…We can see that in the Heluo Galaxy, thousands of protesters have gathered downstairs of the Management Committee Building, demanding severe punishment…"

Snapped--
The virtual screen was closed, Luo Chuan had a blank expression on his face, "What a bunch of idiots, the teacher should just let them fend for themselves and die."

He glanced at Li Ming and his expression softened: "You know that too?"

"I hope the teacher is okay." Li Ming looked a little worried.

Luo Chuan said unhappily: "As long as the senior management is not stupid, they will know that there must be someone behind this. If they really want to deal with the teacher, they might as well give the position to a three-year-old child."
