Chapter 329: Level 4 [Insight]
Trapped in the illusion world of the Great Illusionist Friedrich, Ryan was not too panicked.
Because he knew that Metternich's methods were not simple.
If he didn't die, it meant that the enemy was in trouble.
…
Before, facing this red-bearded man who could kill his teacher, Squinty Eyes probably would have no chance of winning.
But last night, Metternich broke through.
Although he is still at the fifth level of transcendence, he has already reached a new level in terms of laws.
In this guy's own words, there might be someone out there in the Ice Ridge Wasteland who can kill him.
But no one can surpass him on the spiritual level.
Friedrich, one of the “Ten Legends”, is no match for him either.
In the illusion world constructed by spiritual supernatural beings, the caster is the "Creator God" of this fictional world.
Friedrich had set up a trap in advance and took the initiative, and Ryan and the other two were trapped in it and unable to escape.
Then, the illusion of "whatever you think will come true" really made people see the powerful means of this veteran legend.
For an illusionist to impose a "real" illusion on the target's senses, he must have experienced that environment.
For example, whether it is a burning fire, the illusionist must have experienced that kind of pain before being able to inflict it on the target.
But those things that they have not experienced and imagined out of thin air are much different.
It's like Friedrich made himself look like a "god" in his illusion world.
Majestic, sacred, unattainable, it does have some meaning. But this guy has never seen a god, everything is just the form of the god in his imagination.
However, when Metternich used his "House of Cards", the difference between the two became apparent.
These squinting eyes really make him look like a god descending from heaven.
…
Ryan frowned slightly as he looked at Metternich, who was dressed in a scary clown costume.
This guy is very powerful now, and looks familiar.
It was as if people were facing the same pressure as when the "will of the three-eyed evil god" descended upon the second prince.
Ryan found it a little unbelievable.
After only seeing him for the first time, Metternich was able to completely create the feeling of a true "god".
The fact that a high-level transcendent like Ryan could feel the pressure was definitely not as simple as the Rubik's Cube appeared.
On the other hand, the illusion world suddenly turned into a "house of cards" wrapped in huge cards, and the face of the [Great Illusionist] Friedrich showed unprecedented horror.
He looked at Metternich, his expression changed instantly: "You...how could you possibly break through my 'Infinite World'?!"
The legend was horrified to discover that in this house of cards, his illusions were restricted!
Whatever visions he conjured were confined within the prison of cards.
Those giant dragons, griffins, behemoths...
No matter how they struggle, they are like wild beasts locked in iron cages in a circus. No matter how ferocious they are, they can only wreak havoc in the cage.
Obviously, this is the suppression of higher laws.
The curve of the corners of Metternich's clown face became more and more exaggerated. He smiled at the red-bearded old man opposite him and said hoarsely: "In my world, you have to follow my rules."
No matter how hard you try, the card cage is unbreakable.
Friedrich understood instantly that this was a higher level of power that even he could not understand!
At this moment, this "Top Ten Legend" finally understood his situation.
Friedrich could no longer maintain his previous composure.
His face was pale, and cold sweat slid down his old cheeks like raindrops.
Even when he had fought with Metternich's teacher, the gambler Kant, although the situation was somewhat dangerous, he had never been so nervous.
Unable to break through the illusion, the red-haired old man looked at Metternich again with a bitter expression: "You actually comprehended a realm above the fifth level... Kant has indeed accepted a good disciple. I didn't lose unfairly..."
"Oh……"
Metternich did not bother with him.
At this moment, a "Jack of Diamonds" more than one meter tall covered it.
When Friedrich saw this card, it was as if he was looking into a mirror. He saw his own image on the card.
The legend shook his head slightly and laughed miserably.
…
Ryan did not understand what Metternich had done.
But he knew that they were out of trouble.
Because at this time, the surrounding environment suddenly changed back to the previous appearance of the palace garden.
At this moment, the fighting in the garden was very lively.
Master Tust's eight-armed deer god armor was showing its power, and the flames spurting out of the muzzle of the "Vulcan Cannon" were brilliant silver lights.
Ryan recognized it as the "Silver Bullet to Destroy Demons" specifically designed for vampires.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The vampires with green faces and fangs were beaten and fled in panic.
As soon as Ryan woke up, Ymir, who was guarding him, sensed it. She looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ryan said, "I'm fine."
Then, he pointed at the sword energy of the crowd in the distance of the palace and the sea of blood that dyed half the sky red, and asked, "What's going on over there? Who did Senior Guy fight with?"
He recognized the "waterfall of sword energy", it was naturally Guy.
Ymir's eyes were slightly solemn as she responded , "Lilith Dracula, the [Blood Ancestor] of Sid."
When Ryan heard the name, the system immediately found the corresponding result. He glanced at it and said in surprise, "The old vampire who is said to have lived for two or three thousand years?"
He also didn't expect that Sid would even invite such an old monster to assassinate him.
"Um."
Ymir nodded.
Then, she vaguely sensed that there was something different about Ryan beside her.
There was a flash of surprise in her crystal eyes, and she asked, "Have you understood the 'fist meaning'?"
"Um."
Ryan clenched his fist, and the purple thunder tiger that was condensed by his fighting spirit suddenly appeared behind him. Different from the previous domineering momentum, this thunder tiger was full of murderous aura.
…
Sid's assassination attempt was a complete miscalculation.
The great court priest [Great Illusionist] Friedrich died here.
Although the severely injured [Night Ghost] Roscoe escaped, the fatal injury caused by the law of ice entering his body would probably take him several years to fully recover.
Although Ryan really wanted to keep the [Blood Ancestor] Lilith, his teacher had long been talking about wanting a high-level vampire to study the bloodline genes of vampires.
But obviously, this idea is not very realistic.
Although Guy was able to suppress that Lilith, it was nearly impossible to kill her.
The "flash body method" performed by the ancestor-level vampires is truly like a ghost. She was determined to escape, and even if there were more masters of the same level besieging her, they could not stop her.
…
The war in the imperial capital "Usenbar" spread wider and wider, and the deafening sound of artillery fire was everywhere.
The battle in the palace seemed to be over soon.
Ryan and his men fought off Sid's assassination team, and had no interest in helping any prince kill his brother and take the throne.
The war has already begun at this moment, and any team traveling in the wilderness is vulnerable to accidental injuries from the concentrated fire of all forces.
Now is not a good time to leave the imperial capital.
In the end, they did not linger in the palace for long. They joined up with the Mechanic Corps outside the city and found an inn to stay in in the fifth district, planning to wait a few days before leaving.
The fifth district is the territory of the neutral camp nobles, and it is also one of the few districts in the imperial capital that has not been affected by the war.
Here settled some craftsmen recruited by Ryan and his men in the imperial capital, as well as Irubek's family, the hospital they were going to relocate, and a large amount of medical equipment.
It just so happened that Ryan had just comprehended the meaning of the boxing, but he still needed time to digest it. He also planned to take this opportunity to break through to the fourth level of the extraordinary level in one go.
As night fell, the artillery fire did not stop.
In the luxury suite of the "Black Rose" Inn.
Ymir was not resting, but was processing documents in the study.
The battle situation is changing all the time, and new intelligence is constantly being delivered into the house.
Now it seems that the Fourth and Eighth Princes are not the only ones fighting in the Imperial Capital. The guys in Glory City have also made arrangements long ago. There is also the Sid Empire with ulterior motives and some forces that want to take advantage of the war to fan the flames...
Usenbar became a chaotic battlefield where various forces competed with each other.
Seventeen of the twenty blocks participated in the battle. These super-large mechanical cities were bloated and clumsy, and moved slowly. But correspondingly, their armor reached a terrifying level.
Trying to break through the city walls with artillery would require a lot of ammunition and time.
In the end, one side may run out of ammunition and food, and then the winner may be determined...
This process may take ten days to half a month.
Ymir looked at the information without frowning.
Before I knew it, a night had passed.
The sky outside the window was already lighting up with a faint blue hue.
At this time, Ymir seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the inner room. Her frown finally relaxed, revealing a slight smile, and she murmured, "Did he succeed in breaking through..."
…
In the inner room, Ryan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
The thunder tiger behind him was like a living creature, just like a stone lion that had been smashed to pieces and came back to life.
The magical potion for dealing with the fourth-order response of the "Mountain Medicine Sequence" inherited by the Coleman clan is called [Insight].
In addition to significantly increasing strength, the most important thing about this genetic potion is that it unlocks a genetic chain related to visual perception.
This is a very unique ability that can be used to assist in treatment as well as for combat perception.
"Why do I feel a bit like an X-ray machine?"
Ryan was amazed by his new abilities.
At this moment, his eyes were bright and sparkling under the light, like a dazzling gem.
The fighting spirit gathered in his eyes, and a gray world appeared before his eyes.
But when he looked at his hand, it was like looking at an "X-ray". The bones were clearly visible, and there were purple qi veins flowing in the flesh and blood.
He gained the ability that many otakus dreamed of in his previous life - "X-ray vision".
However, the perspective is there, but the clarity is a bit lacking.
This ability, when used in surgical operations, is like a scan. It can show the patient's injuries without any examination, which can greatly improve treatment efficiency.
This is indeed an extraordinary ability that is highly compatible with the medical profession.
Used in combat...
"There's absolutely no place for a stealth target to hide!"
Seeing this, Ryan finally understood the power of this awakening ability.
He could easily see the flow of fighting spirit in a person's body, which meant that even if there was a top assassin like [Night Ghost] Roscoe who could sneak around without revealing any aura, he would be able to spot him.
"However, the observation range is a bit too small... and my eyes become dry and painful after using it for a short time. It seems that it can't be used for a long time."
Ryan muttered to himself and blinked to moisten his dry eyes.
Although this ability is good, I feel that it is a little lacking.
His current "perspective" range is only about twenty meters, and he doesn't know whether this distance will increase after he advances to the extraordinary level in the future.
Otherwise, the visual distance of 20 meters is really not very useful in combat.
At this moment, without anyone noticing, a graceful figure walked to the door.
It was Ymir with a bright smile on her face.
She looked at Ryan and asked, "Advanced to the fourth level of transcendence?"
"Um."
Ryan smiled at her.
At this moment, he thought of the ability he had just acquired, then focused his fighting spirit on his eyes and looked at Ymir in front of him.
The "Eye of Insight" saw through her clothes and took in her graceful figure. Her curves were clearly visible...
However, the clearest thing is her light blue meridians that spread throughout her body like blood vessels.
Ryan's pupils glowed strangely, and he didn't hide them. Ymir looked at his eyes wandering over her body, and seemed to have guessed something, so she smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
Hearing this, Ryan retracted his penetrating gaze and put a smile on his face, "Look at you."
He walked over and held her in his arms domineeringly.
With Wen Yu's arms full of warmth, Ryan did not hide his burning desire at all. Looking at the stunningly beautiful face in his arms, he kissed her without hesitation.
Although the two of them had already made love in the bathhouse yesterday, Ymir was still not quite used to such intimate actions.
She felt the scorching heat coming from Ryan's body, rolled her eyes at him unhappily, and said angrily, "You just broke through the realm, why don't you stabilize it properly? What are you doing?"
"It's because I just broke through, and suddenly I feel like the primordial power in my body is surging and I can't suppress it..."
What he said was not false.
"Hey……"
Ryan smiled evilly and blew a breath of hot air into her ear without saying anything.
All melee combat extraordinary people have very tough bodies, and Ymir, the spoiled Princess Omar since childhood, is even stronger.
Ymir couldn't stop him, so she let him do it.
Apart from occasionally responding to Ryan's kisses, she felt like she didn't have anything to do proactively. She didn't find anything good to talk about, so she casually asked, "How does it feel to be a Level 4 Transcendent?"
"I think... it's very strong!"
Ren found the time to respond.
He had just broken through, and his fighting spirit had skyrocketed to more than four times that of his previous third-level peak.
This amount of fighting spirit is probably more than ten times that of a fighter of the same level.
When he reaches the fourth level of cultivation, his fighting spirit will increase several times.
By then, even if he practices [Condensing Qi into Gang] to compress his Dou Qi, his amount of Dou Qi will still have a huge advantage over ordinary transcendents.
"It won't be long before I reach the Great Divine Strength Realm of Body Refining. It will be difficult for ordinary fifth-order transcendents to hurt me..."
Ymir herself is an experienced person, and she knows very well what it is like to be at the fourth level of transcendence.
Obviously, it was just a casual question.
At this time, the love has reached its peak.
Her eyes gradually became blurred.
The two said nothing more.
