"How strong is the Army Level?"
Garon was still asking when he walked out of the secret room.
'Now that you've activated the fifth star, you're close to the Army Level … "Black Sethe answered after a moment of silence.
"Then why do I still need to train in the Peacock Technique?" Garon casually picked up a shirt from the hanger at the door and put it on.
Unknowingly, it had already become night outside.
The moonlight shone through the window and onto his side, making him look silvery white.
'Secret Techniques aren't just about strength.' Black Sethe said softly.
"That's just because your strength isn't strong enough." Garon interrupted him.
Black Sethe didn't say anything else. Recently, he was acting out of character. He was no longer talkative and was becoming more and more silent.
However, Garon also understood that this was just an illusion caused by the excessive increase in his strength. That domineering feeling of destroying everything was just an illusion caused by the constant flow of strength in his body.
His limit was still only 30 points. That wasn't just the limit of his genes, but also the limit of his soul.
A weak soul couldn't control a strong body, and a weak body couldn't support a strong soul.
If the soul was too weak, it would be easily affected by the instincts of the body. It was very likely that it would completely lose itself and become a beast of desire. If the body was too weak, it wouldn't be able to support the operation of a strong soul. If the soul power was fully activated, the final result would only be overworking the body's functions, exhausting its potential and dying.
"Purely increasing the strength of the body can only reach the limit of a human. However, the weakness of needing to breathe oxygen and sleep would still exist. Training in Secret Techniques, on the other hand, can essentially imitate other top creatures, obtain their strengths, and weaken and completely eliminate their own weaknesses. "
Garon recovered from his obsession with strength. In a daze, he felt that his body had become taller and stronger again. After activating the fifth star, his body was once again affected by the potential and became even stronger. Perhaps it was also the effect of his vitality reaching 10 points.
Just as he increased his body, he was greeted with a huge battle. Under these circumstances, Nadia was easily defeated by him.
This time, perhaps due to the suppression of the mask, Nadia's strength did not reach the previous limit of 30 points. Compared to Garon, who had reached 30 points, she was completely suppressed. In the crucial punch, Garon completely suppressed her, deciding the outcome of the battle with a single blow.
He gently stroked his forehead. That was where Nadia's Ominous Space Tyrannical Art had injured him. The specialty of Nadia's Ominous Space Tyrannical Art was that she would be hit the moment she made a move.
Although Garon had blocked the other party's broadsword from behind, in reality, he had still been struck on the forehead. However, because he had activated the fifth star and grasped the limit of power, his entire body was as hard as alloy. In fact, it was even more terrifying than alloy.
That was why he was able to withstand that saber strike.
"How do I deal with this kind of martial arts …?" Garon stood under the moonlight and pondered.
"There are three ways. First, don't let her use her saber at all. Don't give her the opportunity and time to use her saber. Then, this kind of martial art will naturally be broken. But that was simply impossible. Traitors are also void creatures. They come and go like ghosts. No one can predict when they will appear and when they will disappear. "
Garon walked to the window and opened it, allowing the cold night breeze to blow in.
"The second way is to crack the mystery of this martial art. I should be able to find a way to deal with it. There is no perfect martial art in this world. But this is not something that I can see through now. " Jia Xuan shook his head slightly. The Ominous Space Tyrannical Art was the strongest martial art he had seen for the first time. Making a move meant being hit, crossing time and space. All the mysteries were only in an instant. His five senses could not even touch that moment. Naturally, he could not see through the mysteries within.
"Then the third way is to divert …" Garon stretched out his hand and looked at his white palm.
Fantasy Fist, a terrifying illusion fist technique that misled the opponent into attacking the target. If it could be used on all living creatures …
This fist technique could only be used on humans. It was a form of oppression and influence on the brain nerves. If he could find a way to expand it to affect the soul, then perhaps he could surpass the limits of species.
But this was not something that he could change now. He was still too unfamiliar with the structure of Void Creatures.
But if he could do it, he could influence Nadia to divert her power, mislead her to attack other places, or even multiple targets. This was diverting.
After thinking for a while, Garon still could not figure out how to deal with it. His gaze returned to the attribute pane.
The remaining 234 potential points would not be of much use if he simply added them to his physical fitness. No matter what, it would not be able to exceed 30 points in fitness. He might as well use them in other areas.
There were a few options. He could add them to his Secret Techniques. But the core of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique could not be upgraded. He guessed that if it was another Living Secret Technique, it would be the same.
Other than that, he could use them to heal his injuries and prevent any accidents from happening. He had been doing this all along.
There was another option. That was to focus on one attribute. When it was upgraded to a certain level, a special ability would appear.
For example, when the Intelligence reached 12 points in the Totem World, it would produce a double attack effect. This was not an ability that could be achieved by using the Seven Star Life's Secret Point. Instead, he had to have the actual quality to do so.
With the double effect, a punch would produce twice the power. It looked like a single punch, but it was actually two consecutive punches stacked together. This was the effect of his high reflexes.
This was the first time he had obtained an ability in his attributes. It was an ability that did not appear when his other attributes reached 20 points. Until now, it only appeared when his Intelligence reached 12 points.
After thinking for a while, he chose Intelligence in the end.
His gaze focused on the Intelligence pane. Instantly, his Intelligence that was originally at 7 points started to jump up.
To reach 8 points, 20 potential points were consumed. To reach 9 points, 60 potential points were consumed. To reach 10 points, 60 potential points were consumed again.
After his Intelligence reached 10 points, 140 potential points were consumed. He was left with 94 points. After reaching 10 points, every increase in any attribute would require 100 points. Now, he was only left with 94 points.
"I still need more potential points." Garon had used up all the potential points from the four masks that he had obtained. He did not know how long it would take for them to slowly recover. However, he would soon be able to obtain a mask from Halo. Who knows, it might be able to increase his Intelligence to 12 points. It would produce a double attack effect.
In this way, his strength would also increase by a large margin from his original foundation.
*****
A few days later, the weather was clear.
The water from the multi-layered cake-like fountain flowed down. Three layers of white water splashed out like a small waterfall.
On top of the fountain, two metal birds were playing around. It was so exquisite that it looked real.
"The thing is underground there. We can't get close." Allen Hill's expression was cold. He stood in front of Garon and Rod. He pointed at a big tree in the forest in front of them.
The big tree was completely black. It did not have any leaves. Its entire body was covered with countless thin branches that hung down like a banyan tree. The entire tree was slanted to the left as if it was a huge wooden pillar that was about to collapse.
The three of them were standing in Halo's secret botanical garden. What they were looking at was the most mysterious cannibal tree in Halo.
"The cannibal tree is extremely aggressive and poisonous. Our people will be attacked by the thin branches if they get close. None of us can withstand the poison." Allen Hill explained.
"What about the protective suit?" Rod frowned.
"It's useless. Unless we kill the cannibal tree from afar and dig it out. Other than that, we've tried everything. Unless it's a very thick protective suit made of special materials, it will be corroded in a short period of time." Allen Hill glanced at Garon as if he was waiting for him to make a decision.
"I promised you that I won't kill the cannibal tree to get the thing …" Rod smiled bitterly and looked at Garon with the same expectant gaze. In fact, it was not him who promised it. It was Garon who promised it. In order to not waste time and not make too many enemies, Garon chose a more conservative method that both of them agreed on: to retrieve the mask without killing the cannibal tree.
On the other hand, Allen Hill agreed to bring them to the location of the cannibal tree under Rod's guarantee. In fact, he knew that even if he did not agree, he could not stop Garon. Rather than that, he might as well be more generous.
"Do as you see fit. There's nothing we can do. "He retreated to the side and looked on coldly. He had already prepared himself for the loss of the cannibal tree being destroyed. Since he didn't dare to look for Garen to settle this score, he naturally blamed it on Rode. He hated Rode now.
"Let me do it." Garon was wearing a black elastic singlet, black trousers, and an exquisite leather belt, showing off his slender legs.
He glanced at Allen Hill and clenched his fists, making a cracking sound. He moved his shoulders and strode towards the cannibal tree.
It was early in the morning and the weather was not very hot. The sun was halfway up and only a small ray of light shone on the botanical garden. It shone on Garon's right side, making the grass look even greener.
Strangely, with the cannibal tree as the center, there was no grass or other plants within a radius of more than ten meters. There was only black soil and some white bones.
A gentle breeze blew past. Not sure if it was the wind or the cannibal tree itself, the cannibal tree's branches began to sway slightly.
Suddenly, the tree seemed to have sensed a threat as it trembled slightly.
'Wait! 'Black Sethe's voice was suddenly heard.
Garon's footsteps stopped abruptly as he stood rooted to the ground. "What's wrong?" He frowned. It was just a cannibal tree. No matter how rare it was, it was just a big tree.
'This tree seems to be affected by the mask. It seems a little strange. 'Black Sethe could not tell what was going on. 'Be careful. '
The few people behind him stared at Garon nervously. Although they did not understand why he stopped, Rod and Allen Hill had their own thoughts. They stared at Garon closely and waited for him to get close to the cannibal tree.
Garen's halted footsteps finally started moving again.
Suddenly, his vision blurred slightly, and the sky darkened without him noticing. The guards around him seemed to have disappeared.
Garen frowned as he felt an incomparably strange feeling welling up in his heart.
He turned around and saw that Rod and Allen Hill who were standing behind him had disappeared. He was the only one left in the botanical garden.
As he turned around, he seemed to have seen a woman in a white dress peeking at him from the edge of the tree.
He could not see the woman's face clearly as most of her face was covered by the tree trunk. Only one of her eyes and her long black hair were exposed. That eye was very big and did not blink at all.
The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds and it was gloomy.
"It's a dream." Garon was familiar with this feeling. He often went in and out of this environment so he could easily notice his own abnormality. He seemed to have been hypnotized by the cannibal tree and entered a special dream. It seemed like the mask's influence had made the tree a little strange.
He looked at the woman beside the tree and walked a few steps to the left, trying to see the woman's face clearly.
However, the strange thing was that the woman was always at an angle where only half of her face could be seen. When he moved, the woman moved as well.
"Boring trick." Garon smiled coldly as he walked towards the cannibal tree.
He started to get closer. Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, seven meters, six meters, five meters …
Garon stopped abruptly.
