Yang Yu is not bragging. After experiencing countless battles, big and small, he has become a man with eight-pack abs.
But he did not become a muscular brother like in the TV show. On the contrary, his muscles all over his body are very coordinated.
"If you want to defeat a muscular man like that, you don't necessarily have to fight him head-on. You can use some tricks."
Nagsaroo said, “Of course I know.
According to common people's intuition, people with stronger muscles will be stronger.
In fact, it is completely different.
I can roughly judge a person's strength and I know how powerful Lord Yang Yu is.
If Mr. Yang Yu were to stand together with a group of muscular men, he would definitely be looked down upon by the vast majority of ordinary people and be regarded as the weakest person among them.
"That group of strong men couldn't beat the 'skinny' Lord Yang Yu, is it because all their muscles are fake?"
"Are you trying to say that increasing strength is more than just increasing muscle?"
Nagsaroo did not deny it, "That's right.
A person's strength is determined by deeper factors.
The same is true for magic.
Even if you know the basic structure of magic, it will be useless if you don't have enough magic power to drive the magic circle to form magic."
"So what exactly determines a person's strength? And what does this have to do with you choosing me?"
Nagsaroo knocked his head, as if he didn't know where to start.
After thinking for a long time, Nagsaror finally chose the entry point:
"Many people in this world don't know that if you lose to another person, or are killed by someone, the winner or the person who killed him can gain some power from him."
Yang Yu slowly typed a question mark.
“By constantly fighting and exercising, you will draw strength from the air and become stronger.
Although the approaches are slightly different, the underlying logic is the same for both.
Mr. Yang Yu should know that in alchemy there is a saying that one can turn stone into gold.
Most of the alchemy nowadays is a scam. They use the reaction between objects to generate compounds. As long as those compounds meet certain conditions, I think most of them can be restored to their original state and their essence will not change.
To make an inappropriate analogy, water turns into ice when it gets cold, and ice turns into water when it gets heated.
Stone is stone, gold is gold; there is no relationship between matter and compound, and there is no way to convert them into each other.
I don’t know if Mr. Yang Yu still understands my explanation.”
Yang Yu nodded. Thanks to the nine years of compulsory education, he still had some impression of this knowledge. He couldn't say nonsense like mercury is silver in water form.
"I'm glad you understand." Nagzalo fixed his eyes, "But, can stone really not be turned into gold? Please pay attention, what I'm going to say next may subvert your understanding."
Nagsaro took out a piece of dry tea leaves and cut it into two, and then into four.
Yang Yu probably knew what Nagsalo wanted to say next, but he still listened to him patiently.
“Many things in the world can be broken down like this. If there are smaller knives that keep breaking them down, can they be broken down to a point where they are absolutely indivisible
As long as the knives are divided into pieces of matter and combined, they can still be combined into the original objects.
This is how you and I and the world are made.
What if I tell you now that the indivisible state can actually be further divided, but it cannot be so simply divided into two, but must be taken apart one by one like a puzzle, what do you think
Stone and gold behave differently when they are indivisible.
If you break up the indivisible puzzle pieces of stone, take the broken pieces that can be put together to form an indivisible state of gold, and stack them up piece by piece, can you turn it into gold?"
Try to recall as much of the knowledge you learned previously as possible, maybe it will be possible.
Nagsaroo went around in circles, but he was probably talking about atoms, protons, neutrons and other particles.
“It should be possible, but it is simply a fantasy to really divide an object into infinitely small parts and then take apart and reassemble the smaller parts like a puzzle.
After going around in circles for so long, you still haven't told us the principle of how to become stronger.
Could it be that becoming stronger is done at that level?"
Nagsar nodded seriously.
Yang Yu almost spit out a mouthful of tea and questioned, "Really?"
Nagsar nodded seriously again: "Although I don't know how it is done, this is the principle.
After the puzzle pieces are put together to form something, there seems to be something attached to the outside, and those things are the source of power for each of us.
The reason why people become stronger is because more things are attached to those things.
The dragon has a special standard to measure how strong a person becomes, it is called energy level, and its level is determined by how much of that thing is attached to them.
Those things can release unprecedented power through the human body's network.
And it can affect those invisible little things around us, and use them for our own benefit, and help us develop the skills we use in our daily lives.”
Yang Yu really couldn't have imagined that the knowledge that required a lot of merit points to hear in the Dragon Library could now be given with just a click.
Such problems are elusive and seem to involve the design of this world.
"So what is the difference between the extraordinary people you mentioned and ordinary people?"
"So-called extraordinary people can accumulate those little things in their bodies more easily, and affect the people around them, making it easier for them to accumulate those little things in their bodies."
Yang Yu slapped his head hard, "So, why don't you just say that it's easier for them to become stronger than ordinary people, and the people around them are also easier to become stronger than ordinary people?"
Nagsaroo's expression changed and he smiled, "So, at the beginning, I said the principle was very simple.
It sounds simple, but extraordinary people like you are rare throughout history.
In addition, the reason why I took the trouble to explain these underlying logics to you is to pave the way for the underground maze we are going to talk about later.
Having said all that, aren't you interested in who taught us this knowledge?"
"Now that you mention it, I'm quite interested.
Knowledge like this is not something that ordinary people can know.
I've heard that [Collecting Corpses into Coffins] are a group of gravekeepers.
Whose tomb are you guarding?"
Facing Yang Yu's question, the smile on Nagsaroo's face disappeared again, and he slowly gave an answer:
"The ancient hero, Laux."
