Garon sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling as if he was about to be frozen into an ice sculpture. Every part of his body, from the inside out, was surrounded by extreme cold.
Pa …
Finally, the last piece of impurity White Peacock Stone was completely turned into powder.
In Garon's palms, countless blue cold lines that were invisible to the naked eye quickly retracted back into his palms.
His line of sight, which had been staring at the Attribute Skill Pane, finally began to change.
'— Hellfrost Peacock Technique: Living Secret Technique, source unknown, Level 1 beginner, Level 2 completion rate 12%.'
The percentage of twelve finally began to move.
Slowly, from slow to fast, the completion rate increased from 12% to 15%. The speed was getting faster and faster.
16%...18%...22%....30%...45%...69%....92%.....100%！！
Just as it reached 100%, Garon could clearly see that the Hellfrost Peacock Technique on the Skill Pane finally blurred slightly. When it became clear again, it had completely changed.
'Hellfrost Peacock Technique: Living Secret Technique, source unknown, Level 2 heart modification, using the Hellfrost Peacock bloodline as the standard to modify the heart to achieve the goal of gradually strengthening the body. Modification time: 2 months and 15 days.
Level 3 completion rate 24%. '
Garon looked at the changes in the icon satisfactorily, recalling the reason why he could not advance the Hellfrost Peacock Technique. There were two conditions to enter the second level. The first was an extremely cold environment. This could not be helped, even a normal freezer would not meet this condition. The second was the White Peacock Stone.
Although there was no way to meet the first condition, he could use a large amount of White Peacock Stones to melt and absorb them, then forcefully disperse them to simulate the special required environment. This was also the reason why he could only make so little progress after absorbing so many impurity White Peacock Stones.
According to the ratio, more than two hundred impurity Peacock Stones here were at least equivalent to more than twenty pure White Peacock Stones. Garon only needed one stone to advance to the second level, the rest were all used to simulate the extremely cold environment.
"Success." Garon clenched his fist, feeling a chill throughout his body. The seed of the Living Secret Technique naturally absorbed the components of the White Peacock Stone and started to germinate in his body.
"Two months and fifteen days should be the time it takes for the Hellfrost Peacock Technique to completely transform the heart. I wonder what kind of changes will occur after the complete transformation?" Garon's heart was filled with anticipation.
This was the path taken by the true ancient Warlocks, the most orthodox path.
He got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. His body was covered in a layer of light blue mucus-like substance that constantly emitted a faint stench. These were the impurities of the body that had undergone a preliminary transformation.
After washing his body clean and changing into a clean uniform, Garon poured all the impurities of the White Peacock Stone into the prepared bottle. The large amount of powder filled a large bottle, which was about the same height as a normal mineral water bottle.
"The rest is high-energy fuel. We can sell it for money."
After everything was cleaned up, Garon lay on the bed and rested for a while. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep unknowingly.
Beep … beep …
Suddenly, his Watch Terminal rang, waking him up from his sleep.
He raised his hand to look at the Watch Terminal. It was a call from Aier.
Garon pressed the answer button.
Aier's face appeared on the screen.
"Nono, what are you doing? Why did you take so long to pick up the phone? "
"I was sleeping. What's wrong?" Garon yawned. This body was still a normal person's body. The transformation of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique still needed time and could not be done overnight. Enduring the cold to absorb the Peacock Stone just now had already overdrawn his body.
"Do you want to go and see Mia?" Aier lowered her voice. "I met her cousin today. I only found out from her that Mia's family seemed to be having problems recently. I haven't seen her looking for us to play Battlenet."
Garon recalled the girl who kept coming to visit him during his surgery. She was one of Nonosiva's only two good friends.
"When do you want to go?"
"Tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the official start of the ranking competition. You will definitely be dragged to prepare before the competition. "
"Alright then."
After arranging a time with Aier, Garon disconnected the terminal. He could not get through to Mia's phone, so he called Instructor Hamm to ask about the time and place of the ranking competition, as well as the time and place to prepare before the competition. After clarifying everything, he adjusted his state of mind.
"I can try first and see if there are any changes to the training method."
Breaking through the second level of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique and improving his physique, Garon guessed that it might have a positive effect on training his Willpower.
As he sat cross-legged on the bed again, he entered the training method to try again.
Unfortunately, there were no changes. His progress was still slower than a snail.
After spending more than half an hour, Garon exited the training method state. He simply turned on the tablet and switched it to the automatic news channel.
'… In response to the recent visiting team from the Royal Academy, the Maria Academy has sent out the first seat, Suana, who is known as Zero Gun, to welcome them. The two academies have reached a consensus in terms of friendly exchanges and cooperation between the two regions, and have actually signed a technology exchange transaction document that spans across many regions. It is unknown whether the cooperation between the Royal and Maria regions will cause pressure to the alliance between the Blackboard and Polar Regions … '
Garon looked at the flashing news images on the screen. In the magnificent golden spaceship hall, a few men in tight black dresses and a group of blonde women were talking to each other. Both parties turned sideways and posed with smiles for the reporters to take photos.
The Maria Academy and the Royal Academy were both powerful Domain Masters that were neighbors of the Blackboard Academy. There were three large territories near Blackboard. Among them, the largest territories were Royal Region and Maria Region, and the one with the least was Polar Region. There were seven or eight other small territories scattered around. Using the strategy of befriending the distant and attacking the nearby, the alliance between the Blackboard Academy and the Polar Region obviously put a lot of pressure on the Royal and Maria regions.
"I heard that the Maria Region and the Royal Academy are different from the Blackboard Academy. They use the normal academy training system, which is different from the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest here." The relevant information flashed through Garon's mind. According to the information, the Blackboard Academy was an anomaly among these academies. Normal students were still okay, but the elite students of the Blackboard Academy adhered to the principle of actual combat and adopted the elimination strategy. The elite students were put into dangerous mission environments to train, and the ones who survived in the end were the truly powerful elites.
The other academies mostly used peaceful methods. Most of the academy's students appeared in the role of defenders and protectors, and the competition between the students was not as intense. However, in comparison, the selection process for entering the academy was much stricter than that of the Blackboard Academy.
Garon changed the channel.
The screen showed the second channel of the Blackboard Academy. The Blackboard Region was very big, as big as several provinces on Earth where Garon used to live. Naturally, there were many local channels.
The second channel was broadcasting a recruitment advertisement. After changing the channel, it was an entertainment channel promoting domestic robots, intelligent flying cars, automatic body massages, and even artificial adult dolls imported from other regions that looked no different from real people.
Garon pressed the first news channel again.
After the local news, it was broadcasting the live broadcast of the city's riot. A female reporter brought a cameraman and squeezed through the surging crowd.
'It is rumored that Black Star Diofie will officially participate in the investigation of this riot. The spokesperson of the Blackboard Academy's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chris, has officially announced that the most severe and cruel punishment will be given to this riot. The terrorists who deliberately disturb the social order and endanger the safety of the people will be wiped out mercilessly!'
The reporter squeezed forward while reporting with difficulty.
Garon noticed a name mentioned by the reporter.
"Black Star Diofie?" He knew this person. He was the strongest First Seat of the Blackboard Academy. He also owned a powerful Mech named Black Star. His most famous battle record was when he single-handedly destroyed thirty-five Special Mechs and six Destroyer Battleships in a battle against the Outlands. He had almost single-handedly reversed the outcome of the battle in the Blackboard Region.
It should be known that the mecha he had killed weren't just any normal mecha characters. The other party was also a carefully selected elite mecha operator. Killing 30 or so normal mecha was nothing, but killing an elite mecha operator was a completely different matter.
Any Mech Master who was classified as an elite was at least a Level Two overall standard. Those who were slightly stronger were Level Three and even Level Four. This was a terrifying span.
As he listened to the news, Garen gradually gained a clearer understanding of the environment he was in.
Within the Mother Planet Federation, the conflicts between the regions were getting worse day by day. The war of unification was only a matter of time. Every Academy had stepped up their efforts to cultivate their own powerful elites. The situation of separation had been completely set. The civil war within the Mother Planet Federation was endless. Today, there was a truce, but there might be another war. Although the Light of Heaven system that floated in space blocked the use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction, radiation cannons and other strategic weapons, the intensification of the regular conflicts was still unavoidable.
Lightly tapping the computer screen, Garon expressionlessly watched the continuous broadcast of the news. A war had broken out in a certain region again. A war had broken out between certain regions again, and there were heavy casualties. The Blackboard Region had increased its investment in the construction of the people's livelihood.
The news was like that. The flames of war were everywhere outside, and the people were so miserable that they could barely afford to eat. On the other hand, their own home was peaceful and beautiful with great benefits.
Then, there were reports from the outer regions, saying that they were still trying to contact them.
Ever since the Mother Planet Federation fell into division, the various countries of the Federation fell into a state of separation and independence. Almost all contact between the planets was cut off. Dozens of planets had almost become independent kingdoms. Fortunately, once an external foreign force infiltrated, these original forces of the Federation would instantly unite and defeat the foreign enemy.
After several attempts by other countries around the Federation, large and small, they were all beaten up badly. Instead, the Federation forces directly annexed a few small countries and planets. It was unknown what kind of emergency standards were used between the planets, but it seemed that in a critical moment, they would be able to open up a connection between the planets, not avoiding past enmity and fighting against the enemy together.
On the other hand, the Milky Way Alliance had started a war with the Finite people again. The war was in full swing, and they had no spare time or energy to care about the turmoil here.
Under such circumstances, the first thing that came to Garen's mind was the state of the Three Kingdoms. Similarly, the vassals were divided into separate territories. Some were attacking, some were defending, and some were forming alliances. The vassals were densely packed.
