Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 46 The Secret Technique of Radiance

Eight heroes emerged from the battle against the Golden Horned Beast.

Aside from the critically injured and unconscious Hong and Thor, six heroes are known to have fallen.

The Chinese government has already built memorial halls for Jia Yi and Luo Feng in the Kyoto and Jiangnan base cities, respectively.

The Russian government did the same, building a [structure/structure] for Sokolov in the city of Moscow.

However, the memorial halls for the other three heroes were not built by the three major powers to which they belonged.

It wasn't that the officials of the Three Kingdoms were inhumane, but rather that the memorial hall was rejected by interest groups led by Atkins and others before construction even began.

Without a memorial hall for heroes, they will be quickly forgotten over time.

For people like Atkin who persecute the families of heroes, the faster the heroes are forgotten by the world, the better, so as to reduce the adverse effects of their actions.

"Yes, Speaker Lu."

The relevant legislators readily agreed.

Although they held immense power in the Three Kingdoms period, they were not subordinate to Lu Jin. But who could blame them when Lu Jin's fist was the strongest in the world?

As strong individuals accustomed to the respect for the strong, they certainly know how to deal with even stronger individuals.

As long as Lu Jin doesn't push them too far, they will cooperate unconditionally.

"Okay, you can go."

Lu Jin waved to the assembled councilors, then turned to the official reporter beside him and said, "Reporter Shen, your TV station can now report on the heinous deeds of those fourteen scumbags."

I have only one request: that they be utterly despised by the world, especially Atkinson and his five associates.

"Speaker Lu, rest assured, this matter will be handled by our television station!"

The official reporter, Shen, immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Speaker Lu, thank you for seeking justice for my child."

At this moment, Mohanderson's wife, Tessia, stood to the side, tears welling in her eyes. She spoke in broken Chinese as she bowed to Lu Jin.

God knows how desperate she was when she learned that her son, a warrior god of war, had died in a car accident.

Lu Jin raised his hand to stop him, saying, "There's no need for that. Justice delayed is no justice at all. But one should look forward and raise your grandson well."

As the grandson of a hero, he deserves to enjoy the good things in this world.

Afterwards, Lu Jin did not stay at the Jiangnan Court for long and returned home.

Inside the training hall, Lu Jin's consciousness sank into the external storage space to check the items he had previously acquired.

A platinum-white sword covered in secret runes, a book, and numerous life-giving elixirs.

[Dropped Item: Radiant Sword]

[Drop Source: Atkin (SSS Alloy Battle Knife)]

[Drop Tier: Critical Hit Drop]

[Item Description: A Tier 3 Supreme Force Weapon Containing Runes of the Laws of Light]

[Dropped Item: Radiance]

[Location of Drop: Sargo-Nehru (The Book of the Gods)]

[Drop Tier: Critical Hit Drop]

[Item Description: The secret technique accompanying the Tier 3 Supreme Psychic Weapon 'Radiant Cone', which includes psychic basics and a method to amplify psychic power by 50 times]

[Dropped Item: Planetary-level Life Essence *100]

[Drop Source: Yan Hai] [Drop Tier: Critical Hit Drop]

[Item Description: A spiritual liquid containing pure life energy.]

Besides the three critical hit drops, the other two normal drops were both a Planetary Life Elixir.

Needless to say, the Life Elixir, the newly acquired Tier 3 Supreme Force Weapon 'Radiant Sword', plus the existing Tier 3 Supreme Psychic Weapon Radiant Cone and Tier 2 Supreme Force Battle Suit Light Set, all I need for the early game is a psychic flying weapon.

"Shh!"

With a thought, Lu Jin took out seven vials of planetary-level life essence from his external storage space and drank them.

Before long, the evolutionary frenzy ended.

Including the accumulation he gained from self-cultivation in the past few days, following his spiritual power, his martial arts level has also been raised to the peak of the ninth planetary rank.

There are also 95 bottles of planetary-level life essence remaining in stock.

Although the planetary-level life essence was no longer useful to him, these reserves were enough to allow 95 advanced warriors or mentalists stuck at the bottleneck to directly advance to the planetary level, so they were quite valuable.

Then, Lu Jin took out the "Radiance" manual.

Generally speaking, every advanced type of telekinetic weapon in the universe has a corresponding secret technique for creating that telekinetic weapon.

For example, the secret technique "Escape to Heaven" is the companion to the Tier 3 low-grade telekinetic weapon, the Escape Shuttle.

The newly revealed manual, "Radiance," which is designed to complement the Radiance Cone, perfectly fills the gap in his knowledge of spiritual magic techniques.

After all, the 'Basic 312 Styles' manual that Luo Hua gave him only recorded methods to increase the amplitude of mental power, not proper secret techniques.

After a quick glance, Lu Jin had a general understanding.

The "Radiance" manual is divided into three levels, with a total of five forms.

The first level is divided into an attack form called 'Light Dragon Cone' and a defense form called 'Coiling Dragon Shield'. The prerequisite for cultivation is that the psychic power amplitude reaches 12 times.

The second level is divided into an attack form called "Light and Dark Array" and a defense form called "Light and Dark Defense". The prerequisite for cultivation is that the psychic power amplitude reaches 24 times.

The third layer has only one form, the 'Radiant Array' which combines offense and defense. The prerequisite for cultivation is that the amplitude of mental power reaches 48 times and one possesses the power of a domain.

Furthermore, there are no level requirements for unleashing these five forms of the Radiant Cone.

As long as the psychic power amplitude reaches the required level, and the 'Radiant Array' form has an additional requirement of possessing a domain.

In addition to the offensive and defensive techniques, the "Radiance" technique also includes a cultivation method that amplifies mental energy by 50 times.

It even includes 'basic mental power', similar to the nine basic techniques of the Meteorite Star's "Control Chapter".

Furthermore, because it is only a basic manual, even though the "Radiance" manual itself is not at a high level, it still covers various aspects.

Referring to the 'Basic Psychic Power', once he has mastered the skill, he will be able to control the Radiant Cone to fight enemies and channel all the amplified mental energy into a single triangular cone of light.

Whether or not psychic power is condensed into one, the upper limit of the attack power that can be unleashed by both is the same, but the actual effect is quite different.

Just like a cavalry unit, when engaging the enemy, a charging cavalry unit that is grouped together is more likely to break through the enemy's formation than a cavalry unit that is divided into multiple columns.

Three days later, on January 27, 2061, in the morning.

"Whoosh!"

From the Jiangnan base city, a streak of light shot into the sky, rapidly heading towards the Pacific Ocean in the east.

These past few days, Lu Jin has been practicing the "Radiance" manual. Although he hasn't made any breakthroughs in the amplitude of his mental power, he managed to master the technique of condensing mental power into one last night.

Having mastered the technique of 'condensing mental power into one,' Lu Jin couldn't sit still any longer and embarked on a new challenge.

This time, the target of the challenge is the stellar-level golden-horned behemoth, Luo Feng!
