Chapter 401, Page 399: Self-Reflection (Please Subscribe)
On the day of the sacred flame, it hung over the ruins of the Lion Castle for three days and three nights, its holy and blazing light illuminating all directions and dispelling the darkness.

The people of Brussels were initially terrified!

There's no way around it; this situation of "two suns shining brightly during the day and the sun never setting at night" is something that would frighten anyone.

However, when the news of Luo Yi's breakthrough came, all the fear turned into ecstasy.

Even if they were poorly informed, they knew that the outside world was in complete chaos, with millions displaced and dead due to the war.

At this moment, Luo Yi's extraordinary strength only made them feel more at ease.

Of course, while some feel at ease, others are filled with dread.

For example, the Imperial expatriates led by His Majesty Saint Bartholomew and Lord Robin Water.

Each of them, if picked out at random, would be quite capable. To be selected by the empire as a talent, one must possess not only professional skills but also considerable personal strength.

But because they were experts, they knew what kind of monstrous thing it would be to transform into a sacred fire and hang there for three days and three nights!
That's not something an ordinary fourth-tier being can do. Fourth-tier beings are known as natural disasters, but disasters always pass and never last long.

Kroyi was stuck for three days and nights in a row, which is almost legendary.

Of course, what was even more terrifying was the presence of spies planted everywhere. For a period of time, all sorts of carrier pigeons, swift eagles, and magical messengers were used as if they were free.

The purpose was to send this scene back, so that even if someone wanted to challenge the Flower King in the future, they would have to take this powerful Lion King into account.

Luo Yi saw all of this clearly and understood it perfectly, but this was something he did intentionally.

He doesn't like people causing him trouble, and he doesn't want war, so he has to find a way to let others know that he's not someone to mess with!

It's necessary to keep some cards hidden, but revealing your strength at the right time can instill fear and hesitation in others.

On the other hand, after his breakthrough, he also needs time to consolidate his foundation and recover his fighting spirit.

Of course, he was not a legend after all, and could not become part of the rules.

The reason he was able to last so long was because of the divine aura provided by the Angel's Ring.

These sacred energies are inexhaustible and vast as the sea, which he can easily refine to replenish his deficiencies.

Three days is enough time for Luo Yi to get back to her peak condition.
However, he didn't just sit there idly doing nothing. In his spare time, he also took the time to reflect on himself and ponder the legendary combat techniques.

Often, if we can set aside distractions and stand at a higher level, or from an outsider's perspective, we can see things more clearly.

Take Luo Yi's own cultivation as an example. It looks very impressive. She dares to go head-to-head with a legendary figure at the fourth level, and her combat strength is not bad.

However, if we look closely without considering these factors, it's not hard to discover his many weaknesses.

For example, although he had mastered many secret sacred techniques, with the help of Deep Blue, he was able to integrate them into one without any conflict.

However, you cannot deny that these sacred techniques are all disjointed and inefficient, seemingly impressive but actually lacking in system and chaotic.

[Divine Sigh] cultivates the heart, [Dragon's Might Blooms] strengthens the soul, [Golden Bones] enhances bone strength, [Lion King] greatly amplifies blood vessels, and [Divine Speed] strengthens the neural network system...

But what else?

The muscles that most need strengthening are showing no signs of improvement!

No matter how strong your bones are or how fast your body reacts, in the end, it still comes down to the explosive power of your own muscles.

Koloe is just missing this!

Furthermore, in addition to strengthening muscles and bones, we also need to find ways to strengthen internal organs; otherwise, if only the heart is strong, the other organs will be weak points.

Ultimately, what determines the upper limit is not the strongest point, but rather the weakest point.

The barrel theory is most suitable here.

During combat, the impact and pressure on the body must be reduced in order to alleviate the strain on the internal organs. Therefore, this point is particularly important.

In other words, from now on, Luo Yi can no longer have all the sacred skills; she will have to make some choices.

Alternatively, one could directly seek out specific sacred techniques from these two directions.

As for the legendary combat skill [Holy Radiance], after truly breaking through to the fourth tier and delving deeper into its application, Luo Yi realized that her thinking was too simplistic.

Because legendary combat techniques are not meant to be learned, but rather to be referenced and understood.

If we consider the fourth-order natural disaster as the upper limit that the prime material plane can withstand, it's like climbing to the very summit of the highest mountain.

That legend is actually achieved through a deep understanding of the laws governing the world, using this as a stepping stone to take another step higher.

This step definitely requires a unique understanding of certain laws. Then, if you can find a way to integrate this understanding into combat skills, that is a legendary combat skill.

When incorporated into magic, and its power used to manipulate the rules, that is legendary magic.

If one directly integrates into a certain cycle, then one can build a domain that belongs to oneself.

From this perspective, each legendary combat skill is unique, created by an individual's understanding of certain rules.

This [Holy Light] is an attack method formed by the Silver Angels leveraging their understanding and comprehension of light to manipulate a certain aspect of the Holy Light Laws.

It sounds a bit convoluted, but according to Luo Yi's understanding, it means recognizing things, analyzing things, summarizing patterns, and then changing those patterns.

It's actually quite scientific!

Luo Yi could not master the [Holy Light Radiance], but as long as he analyzed the Holy Light Law that this legendary combat technique invoked, he could also comprehend this law.

Then, by combining this with one's own attack methods, one can create one's own legendary combat techniques. Therefore, legendary combat techniques are not meant to be learned, but rather to be comprehended.

Having figured all this out, Luo Yi was both happy and somewhat helpless.

However, this only strengthened his resolve to seek out the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, to exchange for a batch of Sacred Flame series Cataclysmic combat techniques.

Deep Blue's database needs more material to help him analyze powerful combat techniques suitable for him.

Three days later,
Luo Yi finally withdrew her Holy Flame Battle Aura and slowly floated down from mid-air.

Because of the scorching heat of the sacred fire, the entire ruins of the Lion Castle were charred black, and all the vegetation was burned away.

But the broken black obelisk still stands tall!
Luo Yi offered tributes and wine here, saying nothing, but in fact, she said everything.

He was showing off his strength to the ancestors of the Raymond family, and at the same time telling them that he had not forgotten the family feud!

After the ceremony, Luo Yi returned to the Lion Manor. She left quietly, but her return caused quite a stir.

Although Luo Yi didn't like the carnival atmosphere, she still harvested another wave of faith power and poured it into [Golden Bone] and [Lion King] for another round of development.

As night deepened,

Just as Loy finished dealing with all the miscellaneous official business and was about to take a nap, the red dragon Virgil suddenly appeared in his study.

Luo Yi was genuinely taken aback when she saw this person, and asked rather strangely, "Speaking of which, in the past, if there was anything, I would just send a message and come to you, to your golden house..."

But you've only come to see me a handful of times.

Virgil the Red Dragon chuckled, not replying, but circling around Luo Yi, looking her up and down, muttering, "Not bad, not bad, this cultivation speed, this combat power, this realm, she already has seven-tenths of my former glory."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I mean, when you say that, shouldn't you take a look at what race you are?"

"You are a dragon, known for your long lifespan and long growth period."

"My twenty-odd years of life are probably less than a single night's sleep you had in your youth?"

Virgil the Red Dragon was taken aback, then argued, "I was talking about analogy, you know what analogy is?"
If you were to compare my growth rate to that of a dragon, I'd be considered an absolute genius, just like you among humans, you understand?

"I know, I know!"

What could Luo Yi say but nod in agreement? He then changed the subject and asked, "But you didn't come all this way in the middle of the night just to praise me, did you?"

"Of course not, I'm not that bored."

Red Dragon Virgil looked at Loy and nodded again, saying, "That's right. Although you're only at the fourth rank now, with so many secret holy techniques supporting you, you probably already have legendary combat power."

"So, how do you think I compare to that old bat's true clone?"

"Well, we'll only know for sure after we try it out. How about we give it a shot?"

"Then forget it. You are the Dragon of the End of the Burning World. I'm really afraid that if I run into you, I'll be burned to ashes!"

"Good to know. Getting back to the point, I still acknowledge your strength, so you are now qualified to know some secrets that belong among legends."

Virgil the Red Dragon abruptly changed the subject, asking, "The decisive battle between the Habsburg Empire and the Bonaparte Empire should break out in Alsace Province soon."

Don't you want to see it up close?

Luo Yi's expression froze: "Up close? Let's go take a look?"

The next second, he shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, and said, "I definitely want to know the latest and most accurate battle situation."

But if you want to take me to the battlefield, I'd rather die than do it!

"Just kidding. I don't want to go to such a dangerous place. If things go wrong, I could lose my life."

Red Dragon Virgil was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and jumped up, shouting, "Who said I was going to the battlefield in person?"
"That's such a chaotic place, you're afraid you won't be able to come back, but I'm not afraid?"

"My life, too, is a life, isn't it?"

"I'm talking about remotely tracking the battle situation in real time through the Magic Eye Network."

"If you're willing, I can help you orchestrate the ultimate battle between these two great empires."

"What's the price?"

"It just takes some money!"

"How many?"

"Five thousand gold Till."

"So, you actually want me to pay for this, right?"

"Don't put it so harshly. I provide the technology and props, and you provide the money. Isn't that normal?"

Red Dragon Virgil tried to argue, but Loy raised her hand, shook it, and said directly, "Money is not the issue. The issue is, what exactly is this 'Magic Eye Network' of yours?"

Is it reliable?
