Rise of the Dark Witch

In the dead darkness of the forest, tombstones shook and made noises. This strange scene would definitely scare the guts out of many timid people.

But Roja is not timid.

And after he noticed that the rhythm formed by the vibrating tombstone enveloped him, soaked into his body and caused some strange changes in his body, he suddenly showed a look of surprise and a little happiness.

"Can it actually increase the speed and efficiency of converting the power of death into vitality?"

"Can it speed up the training of the Holy Knight?"

"Could it be that those who died in the Forest of Knight Steles, who longed to become Paladins but could not, were secretly helping me?"

Roja stared at the stone tablet next to him.

He had already seen how extraordinary this stone tablet was, but he didn't expect it to be of such use.

"I got a good thing."

After looking at the stone tablet and sighing, Luo Ya closed his eyes again and devoted all his attention to cultivation.

With the help of the Knight Stone, Roja's preparations suddenly sped up a lot, and he quickly condensed more than a thousand units of pure vitality.

"let's start!"

Roja controlled the pure vitality and came to the seed of life.

He followed the mudra with both hands, "Get up!"

call--

The pure and huge vitality suddenly burned and turned into a small green flame full of vitality, baking the seeds of life.

The Seed of Life trembled slightly under the baking of the small green flames, but the surface began to crack, and micron-level translucent threads grew out of the Seed of Life and pierced into Roja's flesh.

The seeds of life continue to absorb vitality and take root and sprout. Green threads continue to grow in Roja's flesh and blood.

This process is to create the Holy Foundation!

The so-called holy foundation is to allow the seeds of life to take root and sprout in the body and integrate with the body's flesh and blood, thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening the body and increasing the vitality.

In Roja's view, the process of casting the Holy Foundation is a bit like creating artificial blood, or it can be said to be similar to fusing witch bones.

"The green-robed wizard can actually develop such a miraculous technology, it's really amazing!"

"At first, I thought the green-robed wizards specialized in vitality, and I thought they must be very weak. It seems I underestimated them."

"Whether they are black robes, white robes, green robes, or red robes, each type of wizard is just good at different directions, but their strength is generally the same."

With the help of the witness of the two souls and the help of the knight's tombstone, Roja's seed of life grew vigorously.

Internal organs, bones, muscles—

The seed of life continued to merge with Roja's body and flesh.

After fusing the Seed of Life, Roja's physique continued to become stronger and his vitality continued to increase.

One hundred kilograms, two hundred kilograms, three hundred kilograms...

One hundred units, two hundred units, three hundred units...

In the past, no matter how hard I practiced, my strength and vitality were slowly improving, but now I can easily soar upward one by one.

When Roja got tired, he stopped to eat the fruit growing on a nearby tree that was full of the aura of death.

After eating and resting, he continued practicing.

In this repeated cycle, all his time and energy were spent on cultivating the Holy Foundation.

More and more flesh and blood in Roja's body merged with the seed of life.

Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent...

After half a year of hard training day and night, the fusion rate of the Seed of Life and Roja's body has reached 100%!

The casting of the Holy Foundation has been completed!

"Strength has increased by 5,000 kilograms, vitality has increased by 1,000 units, and the body's self-healing ability, immunity, and anti-aging have all been greatly improved."

"The process of forging the Holy Foundation is over... right?"

Roja's whole body, heart, liver, kidneys... and other internal organs, fingers, arms, thighs... and other limbs, including chest, back, abdomen... and other torso, even the nose, ears, eyes of the head In these parts, you can vaguely see the translucent threads inside.

According to the records of knight skills in the "Seven Trees Sacred Garden", the process of forging the Holy Foundation has been successfully completed.

It's just that Roja has been continuously optimizing and analyzing "Seven Trees Sacred Garden" through the use of the Two Souls Certificate in the past six months, and he has actually optimized this top-notch Paladin technique to a higher level.

Casting the Holy Foundation can go one step further!

Almost every part of his body was covered with green threads grown from the seeds of life, but only almost. There was one part that was missing, and that was——

brain!

The fragile yet powerful brain located deep in the skull has not yet cast the Holy Foundation!

The brain is the most delicate and fragile organ in the human body. Once the brain is injured, even a first-level wizard may die.

There is no technique in this world that involves training the brain, at least not as far as Roja knows during the apprenticeship stage.

Because it is too dangerous to exercise the brain, even Luo Ya himself, who created the "Guan Shen Jue", only dared to practice "Guan Shen Jue" with the assistance of the dual soul certificate. He usually did not dare to practice it at all.

"My brain has been trained for many years, and its strength is far beyond what other people can match."

"I have used every Dual Soul Certification in the past six months to optimize and practice "Seven Trees Sacred Garden". I am afraid that my understanding of this Holy Knight technique is still better than that of the Mandolin Wizard."

"So I can do it!"

Roja didn't think for long, he had already made up his mind that he would continue to cast the Holy Foundation!

Cast the Holy Foundation on the brain!

"The seed of life bred with ordinary vitality is fine for the body to create the holy foundation, but the brain is definitely not allowed."

"Despite all these years of training, the brain is still very fragile compared to the human body."

"You can only use the power of creation."

The power of accumulation is a strange vitality formed by the internal organs after Luo Ya practiced the "Qingyuan Health Method" to the ninth level and exercised the strength of the internal organs to the extreme to resonate.

Although this strange vitality has little strengthening effect on the body, it is very gentle, so it was integrated into "Guan Shen Jue" by Luo Ya to strengthen the brain.

This time, he planned to use the power of creation to cast the Holy Foundation on his brain.

A faint trace of life-generating power flows out from the internal organs, flows towards the seed of life, and turns into a translucent weak green flame baking the seed of life.

After absorbing the power of Yunsheng, a thread that was even finer than catkins and almost invisible grew out of the seed of life and stretched towards Luo Ya's brain.

The moment the thread penetrated his brain, Roja felt as if someone had reached into his brain and stirred his brain. It felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was a bit uncomfortable, but fortunately everything went smoothly.

"Even if other people get the optimized and improved Holy Knight skills, except for me who has the dual soul certificate to assist in training, who dares to practice? Whoever dares to practice will die!"

Forging a holy foundation from the brain is something that only exists in theory and is absolutely impossible to practice!

However, Roja really did it!

After two months of practice, Roja's brain was covered with tiny green translucent threads.

"Sheng Ji has completed it 100%..."

"Fusion!"

Under Roja's control, the green threads all over his body were completely integrated with his flesh and blood, no longer distinguishable from each other.

Life force has undergone earth-shaking changes in this process.

After the pure and huge vitality merges with the flesh and blood in the body, it becomes a higher-level vitality transformed from ordinary vitality, also known as the power of brilliance!

Roja's physical body was nourished by the power of radiance, and his physique further improved. His strength surged by more than 10,000 kilograms, and his vitality increased by a thousand units.

His strength has reached a terrifying 50,000 kilograms, and his vitality has reached 3,000 units.

After the seed of life is completely integrated with the body.

Roja lowered his hands and looked at his hands, which were full of life, and stared at the white light condensed on the skin of his hands, which was like substance. This is the glorious armor that can only be possessed by the Paladin.

"Is this the Paladin??"

Becoming a Paladin brought Roja an unparalleled surprise.

He originally thought that it would be good to increase his attack power by 10,000 kilograms, but he didn't expect that it would increase by 20,000 kilograms!

And the amount of vitality has soared to 3,000 units!

When I think about it, life force can be converted into magic power at a ratio close to one to one, and his magic power is only 3,000 units, which means that he has twice the magic power reserve compared to other mixed-blood wizard apprentices.

"The strength has increased a lot compared to before."

Without the use of witchcraft, Roya, who became a paladin, would have no problem beating the two previous ones.

But the strength of a wizard is closely related to witchcraft.

In particular, the witchcraft that Roja chose was Origin Transformation, a witchcraft whose strength was determined based on the casting materials. Therefore, in fact, his ultimate combat power did not increase much when the casting materials remained unchanged.

After feeling the changes in his body, Roja focused on another place that interested him the most.

brain!

After becoming a Paladin, his body gained a total of 20,000 kilograms of strength.

What about the brain?

Roya's consciousness is concentrated in the brain.

When he took a closer look, he found that his brain... had gotten bigger!

After the brain is strengthened, memory, analysis ability, thinking speed, etc. increase several times and dozens of times. Roja will not be so surprised.

However, his brain grew several times larger!

The human head is just that small. How can the brain increase several times while the size of the head remains the same?

because--

The mysteries of the human body are far beyond human imagination.

Is the brain inside the head really the only organ in the human body that can think?

No!

Not really!

The spine is known as the second brain and has some functions of the brain.

Some creatures can survive even without their heads, relying on their spines to replace their brains.

In addition to the spine and brain, there is also a heart!

The heart also has the function of storing memory, and can also be said to be the third brain of the human body!

Ordinary people cannot even fully develop their brains in the ordinary sense, let alone the second brain, spine, and third brain, heart?

Over the years, Luo Ya has tempered his brain through "Guan Shen Jue", so that the strength of the brain has reached a certain extreme, and even the brain waves released unconsciously by the brain can be read and controlled.

Now that he has become a Paladin, his brain has been further strengthened and he has developed a second brain and a third brain.

Unless they are plant-based wizards like Maven who have deeply modified their bodies, most wizard apprentices will die if they lose their brains.

Roja was like this before.

As long as his head is blown by the enemy, he will definitely die.

Without brains, people will die. This is common sense!

This is a well-known fact!

However, Roja went beyond common sense!

He has developed three "brains". As long as one "brain" is still alive, he will not die!

"Brain, spine, and heart, unless all three of my vital organs are destroyed, don't even try to kill me!"

"With three brains, I can be called a monster beyond human beings, right?"

"No, it's not."

"I just developed the power that originally belonged to humans."

"I am still a human being, a stronger human being, a human being who taps the potential of the human body more thoroughly."

There are many benefits after brain strengthening, but all other benefits combined are not as exciting as having three brains.

“What an unexpected bonus!”

Roya smiled happily.

"I originally thought that becoming a Paladin would only add 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of strength, but it was just the icing on the cake."

"But it's more than just the icing on the cake?"

"It's like a drought-stricken seedling has received help from rain and snow. It's equivalent to Fan Jin's passing the national examination. It brings me endless surprises!"

It took several minutes for Roja to fully digest this surprise gift package.

Roja's emotions returned to calm.

"Three brains is indeed an exciting thing, but now my strength is still too weak."

"When encountering a truly powerful enemy, let alone three brains, even one hundred, thousand brains will only lead to death."

"I wonder what strength I have now?"

Roja thought back to the strong men he had seen and encountered.

"Crazy Wolf Bill, Mermaid Singer Lanxi, Huanli Hui Leia, Evil Sword Yeke, and Zoqi are all very strong, but I have never seen them take action, so it's hard to compare."

"Juewu Fernanda and bi-tribe hunter Adams?"

Roja thought about the strength of Fernanda and Adams.

"Without the use of witchcraft, I can't even defeat them who were only first-class apprentices a few years ago."

"Using the witchcraft to return to the source of transformation, I should be able to fight Fernanda, who had just become a second-class apprentice when we parted ways in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons."

"A bit better than Adams who killed two two-headed hellhounds by himself in the Wolf Temple."

Although his strength is still much weaker than the real geniuses, the gap is not as big as before.

Thinking back to the past, he was clearly in the same realm as Fernanda and Adams, and they were both first-class apprentices, but killing him with the two of them was like a tiger killing a kitten, and he had no power to fight back.

Now that I can get through a few moves, my winning rate has improved from zero to 30 or 70, which is already pretty good.

"Sure enough, God rewards hard work."

After Luo Ya smiled, he was ready to continue practicing.

"There are still a few months left to see if we can take the "Seven Trees Sacred Garden" a step further and condense a few buds of life."

By practicing the paladin technique "Seven Trees Sacred Flower Garden", every additional 3,000 units of vitality can condense a life bud, for a total of seven life buds. Adding the 3,000 units he originally owned, after reaching the seven-flower realm, there will be a total of seven life buds. Can have 24,000 units of vitality.

"With my mastery and understanding of "Seven Trees Sacred Garden" beyond the grand master level, with the assistance of the dual soul certificate, and the help of the knight's tombstone, in the next time, 6,000 units of vitality will be added, and the two life buds should be condensed. no problem."

Roja glanced at the broken tombstones around him.

After he became a Paladin, all the tombstones that vibrated and exuded strange rhythms to help him increase his training speed were broken.

"Their obsession during their lifetime was to become a Paladin, so after seeing me becoming a Paladin, did their obsession dissipate?"

The only stone tablet that was not completely broken was the one with his own name engraved on it.

Although it is not completely broken, there are still cracks all over it, and stone fragments are constantly falling. It is only a matter of time before it becomes broken like other stone monuments.

Through the evidence of the two souls, Roja could see that the power similar to divine thoughts contained in the stone tablet was slowly dissipating.

"It is this power that helps me increase the speed of my vitality cultivation and speeds up the efficiency of removing curses."

"The stone tablet is just carved from ordinary granite. There is nothing special about it at all. If it breaks, it will break."

"If you can keep that strange spiritual thought..."

"Give it a try."

Since divine thoughts are related to the power of the soul, will there be any unexpected effects when using the dual soul certificate?

Another soul of Roja came out of the spiritual space and floated out towards the stone monument. He stretched out his hands to catch something hidden deep in the stone monument and slowly pulled it out.

Kakaka——

The speed at which the stone tablet was broken suddenly accelerated.

When Roja used the proof of the two souls to completely separate his spiritual thoughts from the stone tablet, the stone tablet was completely shattered.

The Witness of Two Souls returned to the spiritual space holding something that looked like a stone tablet.

Roja's consciousness was immersed in the spiritual space, looking at the illusory stone tablet held by the witness of the two souls.

The stone tablet was nourished by the soul power of the Two Souls, and the illusory stone tablet gradually became solid. The stone tablet was originally just an outline of a few simple lines, but the lines gradually became more and more complex.

At the same time, the stone tablet in the spiritual space trembled slightly, releasing a rhythm that could speed up the cultivation of vitality.

"After entering the spiritual space, the effect is even more powerful than when it is physical."

"I just always feel a little unlucky." Roja looked at his name on the stone tablet, "But so what if it's unlucky? As long as it can enhance my strength, I'll be happy with a few more pieces."

"From now on, I'll call you Knight Inscription."

Roja never expected that a tombstone carved for him by an ordinary old man without any extraordinary power could give him such a big surprise.

"It feels a bit like the legendary spiritual companion magic weapon."

"Perhaps as the Knight's Inscription is continuously strengthened and improved using the Evidence of Two Souls, it can eventually become a complete spiritual companion magic weapon?"

You must know that magic weapons are extremely rare, and not one of a hundred wizards may possess a magic weapon.

Among them, spiritual magic weapons are even more rare. Among a hundred wizards who own magic weapons, they may not have a spiritual magic weapon.

However, spiritual weapons are rare, and their power is no more powerful than ordinary bloodline magic weapons.

To be honest, Roja still likes blood-based magic weapons, especially the flame-controlling battle armor of the bipolar hunter clan. He is very jealous of it.

But it’s nice to have a magic weapon, but you still dislike it?

"I heard that wizard apprentices can theoretically have one spiritual magic weapon and one bloodline magic weapon."

"Given time, I might be able to upgrade the knight's inscription into a spiritual magic weapon."

"If it's a bloodline magic weapon..."

Various ways for him to obtain the companion magic weapon flashed through Roja's mind.

Roja has always been paying attention to the companion magic weapon, a treasure that can be sublimated into innate witchcraft after becoming an official wizard.

While in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, he collected a lot of information about magic weapons through the Environmental Council.
